This story is based on a dream I had. However, it will not be totally batshit-insane like the dream. Instead, like my other stories, it will only be mildly batshit-insane. After so many stories, it feels redundant to say that this contains OCs and therefore makes no sense unless you read my other stuff. This story, however, will not feature Aless as the main character. No, I decided to experiment and set her meister, Rikita, in the spotlight for once. Don't worry; Aless will be back for the next story. I just needed a vacation from her, ahem, "quirkiness". Yes. That's the most respectful way to put it. Enjoy, dearies. xoxoArsenic

PS: I do not own Soul Eater, because if I did, the anime would have a much better ending.

Aless was sleeping in her Battle Tech class. Why she was sleeping, Rikita didn't know, because Aless had stayed at her house the night before, fallen asleep at 7 PM, and slept for twelve hours straight. Why the hell is she so tired? More important, why doesn't she get in trouble? If I dozed off, I'd have detention by now. But that was beside the point. The point was that Aless was facedown, barely breathing, and certainly not paying attention to Mr. Sid. Grumbling, Riki turned her attention to the teacher.

"And remember, kids, tomorrow the teachers will be in meetings, so you will not have classes. I recommend, of course, that you devote the day off to studying, which I'm sure a few of you will," - pointed glance at Maka – "but I'm also sure that some of you won't" – pointed glance at Black*Star – "so I hope you paid attention today, as there will be a test when you come back. Class dismissed."

As everybody started to gather their books, Riki was debating in her mind whether to wake Aless up or just leave her. She didn't have to debate long, because while she was thinking, Crona was nudging Aless awake. She blinked open her eyes and smiled sleepily at him.

"Have a nice nap?" asked Riki.

"Yes, in fact, I did."

"Good, because you drooled on my book. I really didn't want to have to look at that during class, but if you had a nice rest, then that makes everything better!" She injected as much sarcasm as she could into her voice.

"Oh, hush. You were lucky enough to gaze upon my adorable sleeping face. Be happy." She turned to her boyfriend. "What did I miss?"

"That depends. When did you fall asleep?" They started to walk out of the classroom, Riki trailing behind them with a sour expression. Honestly, I'm glad they're happy, but sometimes the lovey-doveyness is too much.

"I walked in, sat down, and passed out," said Aless. "In other words, I missed the whole thing."

"I'll give you the notes later. Oh, and Mr. Sid said that we're going to be off tomorrow. The teachers are having a meeting or something. Do you want to… I don't know, do something?"

"Hold on." She turned back and waved to Rikita, who was a good ten feet behind them. "Riki! Don't look so depressed! Walk with us!"

Riki forced a smile and jogged up to them. She dwarfed Aless, with her tall figure, so she rested an arm on her weapon's shoulder. The girl didn't even care anymore, Riki did this so often.

"What's up? Thought you two lovebirds would want to be alone."

"Actually, I was thinking about that. I think that with Crona and I being together so often, I'm kinda leaving you out. Why don't we all do something tomorrow?"

Riki raised an eyebrow.

"Really? I don't want to feel like a third wheel…"

"Which is why I'm going to find you a date. I know!" Aless snapped her fingers. "There's a carnival in the nearest town over. Why don't we all take a trip out of Death City and go there?"

"Aless…" started Crona. "Th-that's kind of a long trip."

"It's true," said Riki. "We are in the middle of the desert, after all."

"Good. Then we'll leave early in the morning. Which I will be able to do, since I got so much sleep today." She gave a thumbs-up. "C'mon. It'll be fun."

"I guess. Crona, do you want to go?"

The pink-haired teen nodded, blushing a little. He always looked uncomfortable when Rikita talked to him. True, they had started out on the wrong foot, but it made her feel bad.

"Sweet!" said Aless. "I've always loved carnivals. I promise, I'll find you a date by tomorrow. We'll meet at my place at six AM, okay?"

"H-hold on, Aless," Riki started. "I don't really like the idea of you, of all people, setting me up. Maybe I could find someone myself-"

"See you two tomorrow! Date finder, away!" Aless leaped into the air and charged off, presumably to find a date for her friend. Rikita and Crona were left in her dust. They looked at each other.

"This is going to be a major disaster, isn't it?" asked Crona.

"You know it," groaned Riki. "Though I am happy that she's aware of the fact that she's neglecting me by hanging out with you. I do feel left out sometimes, you know?"

Crona jumped a little at that. He put up his hands in defense.

"I'm sorry!" he cried. "I really didn't mean to take her away from you! I promise I'll be more considerate!"

"Hang on, I'm getting a text." She pulled her cell phone out of her skirt pocket. "From Aless. Looks like she's found me a date." When she looked at the attached picture of her date, she moaned in disgust. "On second thought? You keep her. This chick's crazy."
