I do not own Soul Eater but who is with me to head to Arizona to try and find the DWMA? I hope Stein to OCC if so let me know. I'll try to fix it.

Secret of the Staff Meister

Chapter 1

A new year at the DWMA:

Everything is back to Normal?

Two feelings hung in the air... gloom and expectation. It was the last day of summer vacation of DWMA. Everyone was getting ready in very different ways. Maka Albran was sitting with her partner Soul Eater at their kitchen table. They both had a very quiet summer compared to what had happened with them during the year before.

"School starts up again tomorrow, we're in Miss Marie's class." She said cheerly.

"Yeah, that's cool. Who do you think Stein is teaching this year, I would feel really bad for the first years that might get in his class. He will scare them, the first time they see him that's for sure."

A few streets away the two teachers they where speaking of were getting ready too. Stein looked over his class list and wondered what Lord Death could have been thinking giving him a class of first year students. He wondered what they would do when he walked in the door for the first time probably scream and run out of the room most likely. He wondered how he was going to have a quiet year.

Marie came in with two cups of coffee. She placed on down in front of him. "That you class list? It's hard to believe that the school has gotten back to normal in just two months?" She asked trying to charge her roommate's mood. She and Stein had just gotten used to living together.

"Yes, Lord Death gave me a full class of first year students. I don't think this is going to end well."

"Oh don't worry, they'll just have to get used to you that's all. If you enter the way you do normally I'm sure they won't be scared."

The pale and scared man looked up at her and pulled a cigarette from his pocket. He still wasn't really sure. He knew his partner was the glass half full kind of person. He wondered if he would ever fully understand what happened between them. She pulled him out of his madness but more that confused him then cleared things up.

"Who do you have in your class?" He asked while taking a puff of his cigarette. He could tell that she had it much better than he did. She just handed over her list, he read it quickly. It hardly seemed fair.

"You got all of them, that's going to be a treat and a punishment at the same time." He said finishing his last puff and finally picking up the coffee that Marie had brought out for him. Just as he liked it, he wondered how she even knew that.

The sun was setting and the next day was coming. Soon all of Death City was illuminated but the light of lamps and the moon. The night did not seem to last long for Dr. Franken Stein. Who now was heading off to work in his lab coat. He adjusted the screw in his head. He reached the top of the steps and found a new student. He only saw her back.

She was small and slender, her hair was chestnut brown. She was wearing a light blue and black pleated skirt, her shirt was white. Her head was tilted back, it looked like to him that she was trying to to see the top of the school. He stood there not realizing that the young girl was slowly moving back to get a better look, she walked right into him and tensed.

She slowly turned around. Her mouth dropped open but only a little bit, she was caught be surprise she thought she would be the only one there at fifteen pass six on the first day of school. She closed her mouth and blinked then stuttered an apology. "Sorry, I... I..."

Stein wasn't bothered by a student bumbling into him. This was almost nice compared to what he had to do with students last year. Stein didn't say anything he was to distracted by her wave length or well trying to find it. It seemed almost none existent. The professor blinked and the young girl had run off. "That was strange, I would have though she would have screamed." Stein learned never to take people's first impressions of him seriously, they often get to know him better and where thankful that he didn't cut them open.

It was fifteen minutes to seven and Maka was on her way to class. She knew right where she was going so she wasn't really worried abut it just yet. She noticed a girl who looked a little lost. She walked over and tapped her one the shoulder. "Are you lost? What class room are you looking for?" She asked kindly.

Maka was met by gentle light green eyes. "Full Moon..." The younger girl said barely above a whisper. "I can find it, I don't want to make you late." She muttered while looking down at the floor.

Maka smiled at the young girl. "Don't worry, you class is closer than mine is." She took the girl's hand and headed down the hall. They arrived at the first year's class room. "It's right here. If you need anything. I'm Maka Albran just ask okay."

"Sure, thank you." She bowed quickly headed into class. Maka smile at the small girls back. Maka remembered her first day at the DWMA. She knew the girl just needed time to adjust. Maka headed into class.

The Full Moon class was buzzing. Friendships where growing and some people even found partners on the first day. There was one who wasn't talking to anyone. She was sitting in the front row with her nose in a book. She was barely aware of what was going on.

A figure appeared in the door frame. Then crashed to the floor. The girl picked her head up and looked at the figure on the floor. She could see his soul but not his face. His face was hidden by a clipboard. He stood up and fixed the lab coat he was wearing. She felt the heat of her cheeks and pulled the book back over her face. Why did he have to be her teacher! Did he remember her from his morning?

"Alright, if the young lady in the front will put her book away we can get started." He knew who she was, he still could barely feel it. He'd never seen anything like that... He watch the student pull her book away from her face. He saw still the light pink flush on her face. He has left some sort of impression on her. Poor thing was scared stiff. Stein deiced this would make a good lesson. "Since you've seem to think reading is more important why don't you introduce yourself first. Stand up so everyone can see you."

The girl almost jumped up. She really was scared of him, but was it his appearance or his soul? "My name is Mil..." There where a few chuckles from her classmates. Stein watched the wavelength shrink. It seemed to almost go inside of itself. "Miley Summers." Stein knew that name from somewhere.

"Weapon or a Meister?"

"Meister, sir." She said quickly then sat down before he could ask any more questions. So she could see his soul which did explain the way she was acting. More laugher but some of them did worse than she did and she didn't laugh. Stein started the class right way. The bell rang and everyone hurried out Miley was no different.

"Miss Summers could you wait a moment?" Stein asked he was met with a curious look in those green eyes. The fact he couldn't remember when he heard the name Summers was bothering him but that wasn't what he wanted to talk down to her about. "You shouldn't try to hide it." He simply said, she blinked at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about Professor." She wasn't lying he could tell she really didn't know what he was talking about. "Are you talking about the book?" She asked.

"Never mind," He said. "Better hurry you don't want to be late." She nodded but waited a few more seconds before leaving.

The rest of the day passed in a blur. Stein was glad to be home. He started working on how to find out what could be causing the soul wavelength issue in his new student. The room darkened around him then the light flicked on announcing that Marie was home. "You already have a new project to work on?"

The doctor turned to face his partner. "Well, it's not really a project just something about a student today."

"Its the first day and you already have favorite?" Marie laughed she was cut short by the looked on her Meister's face.

"No Marie, I think something is wrong. Have you ever head of a soul going in on itself?"

"What, no is that bad?"

"I don't know, I'm going see Lord Death about it tomorrow. Do we know anyone by the name of Summers?"

"Yeah, Charles Summers he and his wife was two years behind us in school. Why? "

"Oh, well I just couldn't place the name. The one with this wavelength problem is a Summers. Maybe I should write home and see if it's normal." He muttered while taking a cigarette out of his pocket.

"You don't remember Franken?" She asked looking a little shocked.

"Remember what?" Stein wondered, what he forgot in his madness the year before? Judging by the look on Marie's face he had forgotten something he shouldn't have.

Alright let me know what you think. What does Lord Death have to say about this new student. What did Stein forget?
