Maka is the match-maker. Everyone knows that.

The One Week Meet
"Soul, your brother's visiting?" Maka's put down her book and faced Soul.
"Yeah... Wait, why?" Too late. Maka's mind was already churning.
…
"Marie-sensei! This is Soul's brother, and he needs a guide around Shibusen!" Marie turned and say a older Soul with flatter hair.
"Hai~" The pair walked out the room, Wes obliging to the cheerful-radiating woman, Marie happy to have an unofficial date who was hot.
"...Maka... Why does Wes need Marie-sensei to tour her around?" Maka gave him the inferior-being-don't-mess-with-me look. He shrunk back.
"I still don't get it..." Soul muttered while Maka flew off to spy on her first love birds.
The week flew by with lots of snores, rawrs, and love. When Wes had to leave, he kissed Marie on the lips for a full five seconds. Liz swears she counted. All the girls stared in awe.
Soul knew Maka had a hand in this, but he couldn't blame her yet.
Goddamn 10-hour Star Wars marathons.

The One Sided Love
Soul knew something was up when he saw Maka sit up straight one Saturday evening and said, "My spidey senses are tingling!" and ran out the door.
Either A)She's seeing a possibility as a match-maker or B) She was bitten by a radioactive spider and is now saving the world wearing a red and blue outfit and spider-webs.
He settled for B. He has been seeing a lot of blue and red lately. Or maybe it was Spirit and Black Star fighting over toothpaste again.
When Kim came over the next day with Jacqueline, and a happy Maka in the back, he thought, "Definatley Spider-Maka"
"So, Kim-chan, what's your problem?" Maka sat down on the couch with a tray of tea and cookies.
"Well," Kim said, taking a cup, "Lately Ox has been popping up every where. Even more than normal. And picking fights right when I turn a corner." She looked at Maka.
"Is he OK?" A glint appeared in Maka's eye.
"Well, we do have a spy here, Fu fu fu..." She turned to Soul, who was stuffing two cookies in his mouth.
He paled at the three girl's glares.
…
"I hate Maka... I hate Kim... I hate girls..." Soul chanted under his breath while going to school the day after IT happened.
"Oho! You dare challenge the Skilled General Lightning King? I accept, then! Prepare to rue your decision!"
"Didn't I tell you before that KING AND GENRAL ARE THE SAME THING?" A pissed off Black Star said.
"Howa!" And 10 seconds later a very dead looking Ox was on the floor.
"Dude... I seriously thought you told Kim that you wouldn't do this again." Kilik sweatdropped, while Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder danced around Ox and poked him every once in a while.
"Hmph." Black Star walked away. Soul was about to leave when,
"Ey. You, Soul. Come here." Soul found that the dead man was still alive and walked over to him.
"Was Kim watching? Huh?" Ox tugged Soul's pant leg.
"... No. Why do you want to know anyway?"
Ox got up and shifted his eyes, and then whispered,
"I'm going to ask her up, but she doesn't seem to notice me anymore. Isn't that bad?" Soul motioned the whole time about the increasingly growing dark aura behind Ox, but he didn't notice.
Harvard, Kilik, and the Pots backed into the background. Soul was halfway to safety when she exploded.
"IS THAT WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT? YOU COULD HAVE JUST ASKED, YOU IDIOT! DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M THAT SHALLOW? HUH- Hey, is that a bouquet of money?" She instantly stared at the... Bouquet Ox produced out of nowhere, filled with, you guessed it!, money and a rose in the middle. Kim's eyes were following at it as Ox cleared his throat.
"Kim, I know I have been hiding for you for a long time, and I have to say your beauty always strikes me dumb, and-"
"Hurry up Ox!" Maka and Kim yelled, Maka in the background.
"Ok, ok, geez, Kim, will you go out with me?" Ox was pulled into a bone-crushing hug and the money bouquet was taken in less then 2.5 seconds. (Maka had a stopwatch.)
"Yes, yes YES!!!" You could see the exclamation points in the air.

The Jealous Love
Black Star knew it. He saw Maka earlier today. She was staring at him... Like something cold with no soul. He knew he was next in her quest of match-making.
For once in his life he's happy he wasn't number one.
So the next day, he lurked in the shadows and actually stayed quiet for 5 hours.
"Come on... Only 5 more minutes..." Sweat come down his forehead.
Tsubaki looked at him worried. Black Star was quiet. In fact, the only sign of Black Star being himself is the looking-at-clock-to-go-faster look.
"So, Tsubaki, how are you?" The unsuspecting girl turned towards the very devious girl.
"Fine, how about you, Maka-chan?" A smile stretched across Maka's face. Trap was set.
"Ok, but," The sad girl eyes were put on, "But Soul's been acting real strange lately..."
Black Star's ears perked up. Was there something wrong with God's best friend?
"Maka... Turn around..." Stein looked like he was going to eat Maka after he dissected her.
"My house, after school, k?" Tsubaki whispered as Maka nodded.
…
"Ah, so that's what happening." Tsubaki nodded sympathetically as Maka spilled more words out.
Black Star could not believe it. How could his friend be such a jerk? He not only neglected chores, but he also was so inconsiderate? Whatever that meant.
He decided he would talk with him tomorrow.
"Well, thank you for listening to me, Tsubaki-chan!" Maka was eerily happy when she left.
Tsubaki just waved bye, while Black Star decided, maybe she forgot.
…
"Do you have audio?" Maka stared at Soul when she came home.
He nodded grimly as he looked up, headphone connected to a radio... Thing.
"Why did you have to bug their house, though? So not cool..." Maka ignored him and grabbed the headset.
"... Hey, Tsubaki, why does Soul have white hair? It makes him look old!"-BS(Black Star)
Maka sweatdropped.
Sigh-T(Tsubaki)
"Because it's his natural hair color."-T
"BUT NOBODY CAN HAVE WHITE HAIR UNTIL I, GOD, HAVE WHITE HAIR!"-BS
The sweatdrop grew bigger.
"But nobody has blue hair yet...?"-T
"...You know, what, your right! You're smart, Tsubaki!"-BS
Maka could see her blush, almost. She smiled. Oh yes, bugging their house was a big risk, but it was so worth it.
…
"SOUL! I. HAVE. TO. TELL. YOU. SOMETHING!" Black Star's voice rang throughout Shibusen.
"What?"
"Why are you so-"
"No way, Tsubaki!"
"He didn't!"
"Hai! He did." Black Star turned to see a group of girls surrounding Tsubaki.
"But, he's older than you, isn't he?"
"Proper etiquette states that the first date you have should not be refused. Besides, he just asked me to help with Angela."
"But still! Besides, aren't you really hiding from the truth? It's a DATE." Maka popped out of nowhere to help Liz.
"Besides... The samurai is scary..." Crona pipped up.
"...SAMURAI? YOU... YOU MEAN... MIFUNE?" Black Star forgot to close his mouth after it fell open earlier.
They all turned to Black Star with evil, evil glares that should be in the Top Ten List of Torture.
"Y-you know, I can't believe Mifune is becoming a teacher and all..." Black Star weakly pointed at Shibusen.
They turned around, but by then Black Star knew one thing: Soul and Kid better be free this Saturday.
…
"Look at him. Despicable thing. I feel so sick." Black Star whispered.
"He's a real gentleman... Your just jealous." Maka whispered. Black Star wondered why in hell was Maka Albarn was spying on their date too.
"You have to admit, they are cute together..." Everyone stared at Soul, "What?"
Kid said something along the lines of, "And I thought I was the crazy one..."
"WAIT! T-that ice cream cone... It's... It's... THE MOST PERFECT THING I'VE EVER SEEN! (Except for Liz and Patti) BUT IT'S THE MOST PERFECT THING I'VE EVER SEEN!"
Following his eyes, the four of them saw a kid receiving an ice-cream cone.
"Kid... Don't even think about it..." Kid leaped out of the bush/tree they were hiding in, scared Tsubaki and Mifune, and the kid was now crying because Kid was trying to buy/force the cone from him.
Black Star fell out of his tree laughing his heart out.
Black Star was busted.
…
"You know, if you didn't want me to go, you could of just said something!" The fly on Black Star's wall wasn't found yet, and Maka could hear perfectly well.
"Hn~"-BS
"What do you have to say for yourself?" -T
"You shouldn't be talking to one of the Almighty Black Star's enemies!"-BS
"Hn~"-T
"This could ruin my godly reputation! I could end up like- like Soul!"-BS
Soul, who was conveniently drinking milk, spit it all over Blair, who just walked in the room.
Maka choose to ignore what happened next.
"Are you implying that Soul's an failure or something?"-T
Soul, who escaped and was drinking water because, admit it, trying to run away from a magical,boob-y cat is VERY tiring.
This time he spit it all over Maka, which, in the nick of time, managed to save a 300 dollar headset from destruction.
"Maka CHOP!"
So a dead Soul laid in a corner while Maka turned back to her headset(*cough*obsession*cough*)
"Always Soul..."-BS
"Hmm? You say something?"-T
"So God isn't enough for you, huh?"-BS
"What? WHAT?"-T
There was a long pause.
"Bla-mmph!"-T
Maka sighed. Finally!
"O-oi. Maka... Did you plan on Mifune asking Tsubaki out?" Soul rose from the dead and asked the inevitable.
"Well, no, that was a surprise, but it was good because Black Star was jealous." Maka smiled and dragged Blair for her monthly cat bath.

The Closet Love
"Fail, fail, fail, ooh, super fail, big fat fail, pass, fail, pass, pass, fail, average, average, fail..." Stein was grading tests... On types of weapons and meisters. Surprisingly, Black Star and Soul got an average.
This was the day most teachers dreamed about. Stein wanted to dissect their brains to see if they got abducted by aliens.
"Ow." Stein could feel the insanity knocking on his forehead.
Putting his hand on his hand, he leaned back in Mr. Swivel Awesomeness, or Mr. SA for short.
"Crazy woman witch." He closed his eyes.
"Ku ku ku... You called?" Medusa came out of the black pond of his mind.
"Ooh... New specimen..." Stein smiled insanely.
"Stein?" He woke up to a Marie shoving a drool covered stack of papers in front of him. The top one had a doodle of an apple on it.
…
"Maka-chan~ How are you?"
"What?"
"I need you to help me." Maka put a disgusted face on.
"I know what you're thinking. Medusa? The witch who freed the demon god needs my help?"
She twisted herself around Maka like a snake.
"But it's just not any kind of help. I need you to help me with my, ah, let's call it a love problem."
"You see, Crona's father- No, nothing like that," she said after seeing Maka's horrified face.
"Anyway, Crona's father had an... accident after she was born," She went on, ignoring Maka's facial expression.
"So I need to find another one before she becomes of age." She turned to Maka with a triumphant face.
"D-do you have a person in mind?" Maka found her voice.
"Well..." Medusa shifted her eyes.
"WHAT?"
"Maka! Are you ok?" Soul burst into her room, sleepy.
"Nothing, nothing. But I expect you to wake up tomorrow early." She then turned and went to sleep.
...
"You know what to do?"
"Yes. For the millionth time, YES." Soul grumbled at being woken up at 5 am.
"You want to go talk to him or should I?"
"You. It was your idea. Why Medusa is another question..."
"A good business woman never reveals her client's information."
A few minutes later...
"Why Maka! Why are you here so early?" Stein looked pissed.
"Kid has locked himself in a closet again! You need to get him out with threating threats like last time!"
"...I would have dissected him a long time ago is it wasn't for Shinigami..." He started for 'The Closet', famous because Kid once hid here for a record of 5 hours and 57 minutes until Stein told him that he would dissect his pet rock, Hannah, and marry his tape measurer, Anna.
"Oi, Kid, get out of the closet before I tilt the paintings in your house 55 millimeters." Soul was talking to the closet, which was weird, but the fact it was 'The Closet' deemed him sane once again.
"Kid, get out of there or I'm going to take Beelzebub and dissect it." Stein bent down to check the crack on the bottom of the closet.
No sound from 'The Closet.'
"Maybe you should check on him," Soul said. He rolled his eyes when Stein opened the door.
"Have fun!" Maka then pushed Stein into the closet, where a pair of slender arms slid around him, to provide a soft, yet unbreakable prison.
"Hello Stein."
Maka was proud of herself. Mission Impossible accomplished!
Soul just looked at the closet and shook his head sadly. Poor guy.
