It was a normal day in the Death City. The sun was shining brightly, the citizens were all joyous, and the DWMA was nice, quite, and peaceful.
BUT not too far from there, Gallows Mansion was far from quiet or peaceful.
"What do you mean 'You're sick'?!"
Inside the Mansion, a certain meister and weapon were arguing. Liz Thompson lay in her bed, her temperature much higher then normal. "Kid, I have a fever! I'm not sure if I'll able to well enough to do anything for a few days!" she snapped at her meister. "But I have to go on a mission tomorrow and if you aren't with me, then I'll only have Patti!" Kid complained. Liz sighed, "And that'd be asymmetrical . . .just cancel on the mission . . .and let me rest."
Liz pulled the covers over her head, signaling the end of the conversation. "I can't cancel the mission. It's-" Kid started to say, but realized Liz wasn't listening anymore. "I guess I should go talk to father about it," he muttered to himself and walked out of the room.
He was immediately glomped by Patti. "Hey Kid! What's wrong?" she asked excitedly. "Your sister isn't feeling well, so I don't think we'll be going on that mission tomorrow . . ." he answered. Patti frowned, "Awwww!"
"Patti, how about you make some food for your sister? I'm going to be out for a while and I wouldn't want her to be all alone, without someone to take care of her," Kid said. "YAY! I'll make her some soup!" Patti said excitedly and ran into the direction of the kitchen.
"Just don't destroy my house in the process!" Kid shouted after her.
Kid walked down the street, headed towards the DWMA. 'Urgh, what am I going to do?! I refuse to fight with just Patti, but . . .the mission is important!'
He sighed in frustration. Sometimes, Kid really hated having OCD. "Sup Kid!" a familiar voice said. Kid looked around and saw Black Star and Tsubaki about a few feet away. "Oh, hi guys," he replied. "We were just headed over to Maka and Soul's place to have lunch, you wanna come?" Black Star asked. "Uh, no. I have something to do at the DWMA," Kid said.
"Your loss. Maka said she was cooking a ton of food!" Black Star said. "Whatever. Say hi to them for me," Kid said, rolling his eyes. He had no patience for Black Star right now. The shinigami started to walk away and failed to notice how quiet Tsubaki had been.
It wasn't too long before he reached the giant scructure of the DWMA. He sighed and walked inside, heading straight to the Death Room.
(Inside the Death Room)
"This is rather a . . .problem," Lord Death said, after listening to what his son had told him about Liz's illness. "Which is why I came to talk to you about it," Kid said. "Well . . .usually I'd suggest for someone else to take this mission, but you still want to take it, don't you?"
"Of course!"
"Then, I'd suggest you find another weapon that you'll be able to fight with," Lord Death said. "I don't think that'll work. There are very few symmetrical weapons and even fewer that'd also be compatible with me," Kid said.
"Er . . .I'm sorry for interrupting, but maybe . . .I could fill in for Liz and Patti?" a voice from behind the two shinigami's said. Kid turned around to see Tsubaki standing there.
