An alarm is heard, blaring through the early morning. Maka Albarn rubs her eyes and slams down hard on the clock. 'God I hate that thing!' She thinks bitterly sitting up. It's Monday so she should be getting ready for school. Then she realises school has been cancel so the people at Shibusen can clean everything up after the Demon God, Asura tried an attack on Death City. She swings her legs round on her bed and looks out the window. 'Everything seems a lot brighter now that the madness has disappeared.' She thinks. She strains her ears listening for any sounds of life coming from her partner, Soul 'Eater' Evans, room. Nothing. She decides that he must be up already and leaves him to his own desires. After she destroyed Asura she's been thinking hard about her relationship with Soul. At the minute they're just best friends, house mates and weapon and Meister. But could they ever be anything more? She shakes her head frantically pushing the idea from her head. Of course Soul wouldn't want to date her! They're just really good friends! She lies back down and closes her eyes. After about 10 seconds she's drifted off to sleep again.
Soul stands at Maka's door. Trying to see if she's awake yet. When he hears her steady breathing it confirms she's not. He slides down the door and puts his head in his hands. 'Dammit! How am I ever gonna talk to her if she's asleep?' He thinks frustrated. He spent half the night awake trying to figure out his feelings towards his Meister. 'I could ask her out? But what if she doesn't feel the same?' The thought had been plaguing him since Asura was killed. He nearly bangs his fists on the door but remembers Maka is still sleeping. 'This is so uncool!' He thinks! He gets up and walks into the living room. On the mat in front of the door there's a letter addressed to him and Maka. He puts it on the table deciding to open it when she wakes up. He lies down on the sofa and asking out an invisible Maka. "Hey Maka. I've been thinking. We've been friends for a long time now. And I was wondering maybe we should take it a step further? God no! That doesn't even sound like me!" He goes over this in his head several times before giving up.
Maka wakes up again. Not to her alarm this time but a smell. Soul must be awake and started breakfast. She sits up and looks at her clock. It's only been an hour since she last woke up. 'It feels longer than that. Whatever.' She thinks as she pulls on a sweater and leggings. She opens her door and the smell of bacon washes over her like a tidal wave. She makes her way to the kitchen where she finds Soul standing in front of the stove with a pan of bacon. "Soul? What are you doing?" She asks. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Oh! You're awake? I was gonna give you breakfast in bed. I mean, you deserve it after last night." He says shuffling the bacon as he speaks. "By the way! There's a letter for us on the counter. I didn't want to open it until you got up." She looks over at the counter and sure enough there's a letter. She looks at it as if it might bite. What's left of the Demon God's madness has made her a little edgy. She picks it up and opens it. 'Soul Evans and Maka Albarn, You have both been invited to a party at Death Mansion to celebrate the hopefully permanent destruction of the Demon God, Asura. We hope you will both be able to attend. The party is tonight at seven o clock. Please arrive on time. Death The Kid.' It reads. "It's from Kid. Apparently we're invited to a party to celebrate last night. I should have guessed from the first word. It's way too formal to be from Lord Death!" She says laughing. Soul starts laughing to and after while it subsides and they stand there looking at each other. "Maka? I need to-"
"Can you tell me later Soul? I wanna start getting ready for tonight?" She runs off down the hall leaving Soul standing in the kitchen.
