Maka went in the nightclub still not really convinced. She had hesitated between commit herself or rebel and avoid without asking her left-over. Unfortunately, Black Star was holding, quietly ironic, behind her with Tsubaki. There was no doubt that this moron would stop her from escaping even if this option was really tempting.

"Go on, smile a little." Kid was looking at her apologetically.

"Traitor." Maka cringed unable to hide her bad mood. He softly laughed at her crestfallen expression. Liz had reached them.

"Come on, drink this." Liz was giving her a little glass. Maka smelt it with suspicion. It seemed really sweet. She looked angrily at Liz.

"I don't want to drink this."

"Bad answer." Liz was looking at her with a predatory smile. Patty caught Maka from behind. The small girl opened her mouth to protest but choked because of the liquid that Liz threw in her throat. She didn't know whether she was coughing because of the liquid which had been getting down the wrong pipe or because of the burn that she felt in her throat. Kid rubbed her back to help her recover. He apologized for the behaviour of their friends. He wasn't really honest and that didn't raise up the mood of the meister. She was weepy and looked around her with difficulties. Black Star went up on the bar and sang to his glory under Tsubaki's look. She was torned between embarrassment, entertainment and the enjoyment to live the present moment. For a reason Maka didn't understand, Black Star was interested in her.

"Maka can't beat me." She turned around, irritated. Why did he provoke her for nothing? He went back on with conviction.

"You can't drink more than me."

"That's for sure, I don't have your practice." She wasn't really interesting to what he was saying. She was paying attention to the influence of alcohol. She realized that it didn't make anything and she wondered if it was normal.

"I challenge you."

"I don't care." She was still paying attention to the influence, perplexed to feel nothing.

"If you win, I will obey you for one week." She raised her head to face him. He seemed sincere.

"And what if I lose?" She asked him more by principle than anything else. She really didn't like his idea.

"Nothing, no compensation." All the team shut up and looked at Black Star squatting down the bar. He was facing the little meister with intensity.

"This is ridiculous, I won't go for it." Maka looked at the dance floor still sulky. Tsubaki took her arm imploring.

"We never know, Maka. Maybe if you win you can ask him to be more sober and to carry out our mission successfully." Kid came just after with little stars in his eyes.

"We can force him to have symmetrical clothes and haircut." Liz added really amused.

" And force him to do a lot of degrading things." Patty was doubled up with laughter on the floor.

"Please..." They were together to convince her to accept the challenge.

"Okay, okay, but I stop from the very moment I feel strange." In the end, she smiled and gave up to the lively atmosphere. "It's you who pays the bill and you drink as much as me." They accepted the deal. Liz ordered the line of shooters filled up with spirit drink.

Soul was to meet up with their friends at the end of the night. He wasn't really pleased. He had gone out with a girl from school who had been asking him out for a while. His first impression was right, she wasn't interesting. After all, he had to come to think that no girl could compete wirth any girl of his team. He sighed as he looked for his friends in the nightclub. His unusual physical appearance attracted many appreciative looks from the girls but he didn't pay attention to them. He found his friends at the bar. Black Star was sleeping on it with a lot of glasses around him. Tsubaki was plunked down on her stool as she was leaning against Liz sagged on her own stool. Patty was laughing stupidly while making a pyramid with the empty glasses. The barmaid was really terrified and it was understandable. The pyramid had reached 1 meter and Patty was shaking dangerously because of spams of laughter. Kid suffered from delirium, as he stamped his punch. Soul supposed the reason was certainly because of the symmetry of something. They were all completely drunk. He looked for his meister with anxiety. She was just a little further from the others. She was in grand conversation with a seductive boy. Too much seductive, thought Soul. Maka was letting herself being seduced with pleasure. She was rolling her hair around her fingers like a young student. Her skirt was too short for Soul's taste. Above all without tights. He would kill Tsubaki and Liz but only when they would have fully recover. He came near her with a furious look in his face. The attractive boy located him quickly and Maka turned her head to face his new subject of worry. She welcomed Soul with a big smile. Her weapon felt a little more relax. She didn't seem to be drunk.

"Soul!."

"Hi." He was staring at the pretty boy.

"This is Mike." Soul raised an eyebrow. He wasn't delighted at the thought of meeting him.

"Oh, hi Mike." Maka continued still in good mood. He asked himself what could have happened while he was away.

"Did you have a great evening with...mmmmmh... Celia?"

"Yes, after all no but it's not important. What did exactly happen tonight?" He showed their friends to his meister, indifferent to Mike's black look.

"A drink competition." She laughed. "I won." He looked at her, astounded.

"You?"

"Yes. In the end, maybe my father passed on some useful genes." She clapped her hands satisfied. "Black Star will obey to me for one week." Soul was having some difficulties to put his ideas in the good order.

"So, if I summarize. You had a drink competition with Black Star."

"Yes."

"You won and Black Star must obey to you for... one week." She acquiesced.

"Even if he keeps on for one or two days. I think it will be fun." Soul remained skeptical.

"And the others?" He looked Kid with worry.

"Mmmh Maka, do you want to dance with me ?" Mike was coming back to attack. He didn't want to let go his prey.

"Sorry, but not tonight. We must take back these morons in their houses and it will take a lot of time." The pretty boy was surprised and disappointed. He went upset. Maka seemed indifferent at his reaction to the biggest satisfaction of Soul. She turned around him as she came down her stool. She responded to Soul as if nothing happened.

"They had to drink as much as me if they wanted me to accept the challenge." She looked her friends as she was thinking about the best way to take them out of the place. She told some words to Patty and the drunk girl stood to attention. Maka told her again some words and this time, Patty bawled out Kid. This one instantaneously stood up, his soul nearly clear. She ordered them to go out. They obeyed without any reclamation. She turned around to face Soul again.

"Take Black Star on your shoulders. I prefer him to be sleeping. I think it will be simpler for everyone. I will take care of the girls." She went near Liz and shook her. The young girl woke up nearly fresh. She had trained when she was in the street.

"Help me with Tsubaki." Liz acquiesced with a pale face and put one of Tsubaki's arms on her shoulder. Maka did the same on her side. They went out under the amused look of the dancers. Soul was impressed by Maka's facilities to take care of their drunk friends. They dropped off Liz, Patty and Kid first. Maka struggled a little with Tsubaki but said nothing and guided her friend to her apartment. She enjoyed writing a note to Black Star. She wanted absolutely to remind him his obligations.

At last, they went home. The sun was raised on the city and Maka seemed happy of her night. More than Soul anyway. He caught up with Maka and put his arm on her shoulders.

"I am disappointed to have missed that. "

"You can. It's really fun to see the others become completely drunk." saShe bursted out laughing as she remembered. Soul smiled.

" Who decided of your clothes?" She was looking at him with surprise.

"Liz." Soul smiled at her in respond. He would kill her. And the others too. They got her go out in very short clothes and tried to get her drunk. Fortunately she had supported the alcohol because it wasn't the other who would have been able to take care of her. He would never let that happen again, he was firmly convinced about that.
