Author's notes: So, this is my first Fanfiction I've ever published. It is pretty much a continuing from the end of the anime[Which i hated the ending. That was so sailor moon-esque. "I'm not strong enough, but my bravery can still kill you. Heeeeyah~"]. Yeah, because of that ending I'm going to make a point that it is NOT that easy to destroy something that much stronger than you.

"There! All finished!" Maka clasped her hands together, feeling rather accomplished. She eyed the creation before her and placed her hands on her hips. In front of her was a terribly made card, with the words 'Happy Birthday, Soul!' plastered on the front. Glue was dripping from the card, and there was a picture of herself and her weapon, Soul, glued to the inside. "Blair! Come take a look, It's finished!"
Within moments, a cat came trotting out from one of the rooms and hopped up on the table, staring at the poorly made card. She walked around it and examined it a few minutes before sitting down and poking at the card with a claw. "What the hell is it suppose to be, Maka?"
Maka's jaw dropped as Blair questioned the card she spent hours on. "S-Seriously! You can't tell? Look, it says 'Happy birthday' right here on the front!" Blair squinted her eyes and tilted her head until she could read the letters. She started laughing, and jumped off the table, going to sit where she could watch when Soul arrived.
Maka just sighed and went into the bathroom, washing her hands. She grabbed a small towel and dried her hands, staring at herself in the mirror. It had been a few monthes since she had defeated the first kishin, Asura. She looked no different than before, her yellow tinted sweater vest over a white blouse, with a green striped tie and red plaid skirt. Reaching forward, her fingers pressed against the mirror. Though she was stronger, the doubts in her mind remained. She would have nightmares every now and then, of the madness consuming her.
"What the hell is this, Maka?" The voice rang from the other room. When Maka came around, she gasped and rushed out of the room, snatching the drenched paper from Soul. "Nothing! Don't touch things that don't belong to you!" Soul's brows furrowed as he grabbed the card and pulled it away from her and opened it up. "I'm glad you're my partner. -Maka. Is that it? Really?" Soul couldn't help but laugh, placing the card down. "Wow, I never imagined you could make a preschooler look good." Maka narrowed her eyes, her arms crossing over her chest. "Don't ask me for anything, you jerk!" She stormed out of the room into her own and slammed the door.
Blair took the chance to transform into a human. She ran to Soul and gave him a hug, making sure his head was perfectly between her breasts. "Happy birthday!" Soul tried to cover his nose as he felt the nosebleed coming. "Gah!" He fell over, letting out a sigh, half unconscious. After a few minutes of silence, he sat up, rubbing his head and checking his nose. "Happy Birthday? Oh, so that was what the card was for."

Maka had fallen asleep in her room. She was so frustrated with Soul that she just needed some time alone. Her dream was eerie and dark. Unsure of where she was, she called out, but nothing. A familiar sideways eye formed in front of her, and she remained calm, crossing her arms. "Aren't you suppose to be gone?" The ground under her shook for a moment, and she quickly regained herself. "Gone? Oh no, madness is never gone." Maka fixed her glove as the corner of her lips curved upwards. "Neither is bravery!" She ran at the eye, and as she swung, she fell forward, down into the darkness.
Maka's eyes opened as she sat up quickly. She rubbed the back of her head and sighed. "Damn..I don't understand why I keep having that dream." She shrugged and got off her bed and stretching. She finally unlocked her door and noticed the time. "Ah! What the hell! He didn't get me up? But I was suppose to take him to his birthday party!" She opened the door to his room and found him gone. Blair trotted over towards her. "Soul already left with that ninja kid."
Maka frowned, and decided not to go to the party. She pulled out one of the chairs from the table and sat down, Blair jumping up to sit on the table. "What's got you down?" Maka sighed, closing her eyes. "I don't know, I guess I just wanted to make his birthday special." Blair tilted her head and smiled, her tail uncurling slightly. "But you did, Maka. He didn't even realize it was his birthday. He felt pretty bad, but didn't want to bother you. If it weren't for you, wouldn't he be controlled by the black blood?" Maka nodded slowly, feeling a little better.

Black Star dragged Soul into the building, and once in, the lights flashed on and many recognizable people jumped out, yelling 'Happy Birthday!'. Soul couldn't help but smile, thanking them for this. Tsubaki tilted her head, then looked over to Patti and Liz, who also looked confused. No one said anything until Death mentioned aloud. "Maka isn't here?" The expression on Soul's face was all the answer they needed. "Uhh, sorry, we kinda got into a fight and she fell asleep, so I just left her there." Patti couldn't help but chime in. "She's going to be mad~!" Liz only shook her head, face-palming. In a way, Patti was right, and no one could disagree.
Black star gave a pose, and jumped up on one of the chairs. "So, as a gift to Soul, my buddy, I have come to this party! I will be offering autographs at any-" Death shoved Black Star off the chair to shut him up, returning his attention to Soul. "Well, enjoy yourself while you are here." Tsubaki and the others nodded, hoping to raise Soul's spirits. Patti clapped, and offered Soul a flower. "I hope you like it!"

A knock came on the door of the apartment. Maka blinked a few times before getting up and walking over to the door. "Who is it?" After a moment of silence, she opened the door. "Doctor Stein?" She worried something was wrong, and offered him into her apartment. "Maka, there's something I've been needing to talk to you about.." Maka nodded, shutting the door as he came into the apartment. She locked the door and moved to pull out a chair for him, then move to the one she previously was on. "Alright, what is it?"
Stein shifted in his seat, staring at Maka for a moment. She felt uncertain and shifted as well, adverting her eyes away from him. "W-Well?" Still, nothing. Finally, Stein let out a sigh. "There is something..."
