Death: Hello, guys! Sorry I haven't been updating latley. I'm starting many new stories! Also, this story won't be as descriptive as my other fanfics, as this is just a follow up to the sequence story I have in mind after this. This is the ANIME Soul Eater. Note that in here, I put Crona as a boy, just so that the pairing would work. ;)
"Lord Death sir," Sid addressed to the Shinigami who had his back turned to the mirror watching... A cartoon flick? While giggling to himself lightly.
"Hehe... Oh, Sid! It's you!" Lord Death jumped and turned around to the zombified, blue-skinned teacher with haste and flicked off the channel that he was currently watching on Cartoon Network. "Well, what bring you here to the Death Room so early the morning?" Shinigami questioned while bouncing up and down like a skinny black jumping-bean.
"Well, lately some of the students have been requesting that we have the first ever prom at the DWMA, although it has never been done before..." Sid explained.
"Well, let them have it!" Lord Death chided while bouncing up and down even more with new bursting excitement. "If it's what the kids want, then we shall make it a reality!" He pointed out with a white square finger to the air.
"B-But sir. We don't even have the preparations ready yet." Sid stated the fact. Lord Death froze and put a single finger to the bottom of his mask.
"Hmm... You may be right Sid..." The Reaper mumbled. "Alright, you have exactly one week to do all the preparations necessary for the first ever DWMA prom! And, we'll be posting the fliers for it today!" Shinigami cheered. Sid just stood there awestruck by the amount of orders that had just been given to him in a mere two sentences. "This will be so exciting. My school's first ever DWMA prom!"
Later that day...
"What the-" Soul began.
"The first ever DWMA prom?" Maka read off the poster pinned to the morning bulletin board.
"W-What's a p-prom?" Crona shivered as he asked the question. Maka, Soul, and Crona all stood staring up at the newly posted flier with the rest of the other academy students in the hallway. It was hard to miss, considering the large size that took up almost the whole board black background board, and not to mention the overdose of dazzling glitter and bold color print.
"Starting next Friday, January 26th at 7:00pm students are allowed to attend the DWMA's first ever prom night. There will be food, music, dancing, and not to mention a live performance of Skrillex on stage at the Grand Hall. Be sure to wear formal clothing and bring a date." Maka read the rest of the poster. "WHAT?! NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS!" She yelled with her gloved hands entangling in her hair, nearly ripping out her pigtails in the process.
"God, this school is really starting to lose it." Soul face-palmed.
"Completely." Maka agreed.
"Hiya, guys!" A voice greeted, coming from down the hall not too far away. It was the unmistakable voice of Black*Star. The three of them turned (Crona a little more hesitantly with one hand clamped around his other arm). Black*Star and Tsubaki walked over towards them, Black*Star greeting Soul with a high-five.
"Good morning Maka, Soul, Crona." Tsubaki greeted as well.
"Yeah, yeah." Black*Star interrupted. "Anyway, what's the deal with all the commotion around here?" He asked while looking around at all the Miesters and Death Weapons lined up to see the board.
"Big news. We just found out that the school's hosting the first ever prom. Talk about a coincidence." Soul scoffed with his arms crossed.
"What? You're kidding a prom?" Tsubaki question. It was easy to tell her excitement by that glittery glint in her eye.
"BUAHAHA! A prom?! Who'd ever want to go to some stupid lame thing like that?!" Black*Star laughed as he doubled over and rolled on the floor like some kind of rabid flea-bitten dog.
"Black*Star..." Tsubaki frown. She kinda wanted to go in the first place.
"I w-would." Crona tried to whisper with his head down, but all four of them heard it as clear as day. They all froze and turned to him. Wondering if those two words actually came from his mouth. Crona blushed at all the stares they were giving him. "Well, Maka mentioned last night that I should start to get to know more people... So, if a prom is a gathering of people, I g-guess I could give it a try." Crona explained then looked up slightly while blushing.
"Uh, are you sure about that Crona?" Black*Star questioned.
"You know, you're gonna have to go with a date, right?" Soul said with hands now in his pockets. "How're you gonna find one?"
"I will..." Crona then looked up and turned his head down the hall, momentarily looking away from his friends.
"Well, if Crona's going to the prom, then I'm going too!" Maka declared with a fist-pump. Everyone's jaw dropped after she said that. She playfully placed a reassuring hand on Crona's shoulder, making him smile slightly.
"You know you're going to need a date too, right?" Soul ruined the mood. Maka froze.
"You're right," Maka then abruptly turned to Soul who flinched a little at her now energized soul-wavelength. "Soul, you'll be my date to the prom." Maka declared again with a finger pointed to her partner's face. Now, Black*Star started to roll on the floor even harder while suffocating in his own laughter and strangled by the carpets.
"Wh-What? I u-uh, don't thin-" Soul hesitated while gaping.
"Come on," Maka grabbed Soul by the hand and squeezed lightly. "It'll be fun."
"U-Uh-" Soul wavered for a second, then sighed and submitted to Maka's demands once again. "Fine." Maka smiled at her parter, making Soul smile as well.
"Well, what about you Black*Star?" Tsubaki asked the blue-haired assassin still laughing on the carpeted floor in agony. "Do you want to go to the prom?"
"HAHAHA! As if lameos!" Black*Star scoffed on the floor. Everybody frowned.
"There will be lots of food..." Tsubaki tempted. Black*Star then froze in mid-laugh, got up, and faced all of them.
"Mmm..." Black*Star rubbed his chin while Tsubaki continued to give him the puppy-eyes. "Alright, I'm in! The food there must be delicious!" Both Soul and Maka made a face to his new found enthusiasm while Tsubaki just smiled widely at her partner. "Tsubaki,"
"Yes, Black*Star?" Tsubaki glanced at him.
"You'll be my date to the prom, ok?" Black*Star confirmed with a thumbs up just inches away from her face. Tsubaki just blushed and turned away for a second. After a while, she glanced back.
"S-Sure." She fumbled her acceptance. Black*Star gave a huge grin back in reply.
"So, Crona. How are you going to find a date?" Maka asked, turning back to the Demon Weapon Miester.
"I can look around..." Crona mumbled while glancing several times at the floor.
"Huh? What was that?" Black*Star edged closer to Crona while cuffing his left ear towards Crona's own face. Just as Crona cringed and back a step away, Maka slammed the spine of her book straight down the middle of Black*Star's head. Resulting in him being knocked face first into the floor and cracking the stone grey marble.
"Don't pick on Crona!" Maka blared to the steaming pile of blue hair at her feet. Tsubaki kept on mumbling the Black*Star's name with teary eyes.
"I'm going to look around now before school starts, ok?" Crona said to Maka, resulting in a blank stare from her face.
"Uh, would you like me to go with you, Crona?" Maka offered. Crona surprisingly, for the first time ever, rejected her offer with a shake of his head and walked off down the hall.
"Tsk, that guy is something else." Soul chuckled. Maka just looked down at the ground regretfully. That was the first time that Crona had ever rejected her like that. She couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken. Soul took note of her increasing depression and placed a reassuring hand on her right shoulder. "Come on, don't beat yourself up because of him. Besides, he's finally getting his first taste of independence." Soul reassured.
"Yeah, you're right Soul." Maka nodded and turned to him with a smile.
