Franken Stein sat boredly. For the first time in a while his mind was empty. His pale skin matched the snow he sat on. It was winter and him, Spirit, Azusa, and Marie had gone outside. They were at Marie's House, she had invited them. Marie was dressed in gold, Spirit in blue, and Azusa in black. Stein was dressed in green. He was laying down with his eyes closed, they were in a snow ball fight.
Stein noticed the sound of snow being packed by him. Then something cold on his face. He dusted of and look to who had placed the snowball on his face. Spirit was creating a wall next to Stein and a stack of snowballs. Stein sat up with a look of boredom still plastered on his face.
"Spirit." Spirit looked to Stein. "What are you doing?"
"Helping you prepare." Spirit smiled as if he were doing a kind thing for a deer old friend. Stein found this amusing, for they had only been 'friends' for a year.
"Spirit." Stein said in his usual emotionless tone.
"Yes." Spirit said turning to face him with a thoughtful smile.
"I'm not playing." Stein said and flopped back down into the snow.
"Of course you are Stein." Spirit stiffed. He started packing a snowball furiously. "Your gonna help get back at me for them pelting me with snowballs..." The more he spoke the more a look of furry filled his face.
"If you really want to get back at them then fight. Your a scythe after all." Stein said flatly.
Spirit looked at him a tad astonished. "You still don't get it." He sighed and went back to packing the snowballs.
Stein had grown accustom to that phrase. Spirit said it a lot around him. A while ago he wondered what he 'didn't get' and went to the library to research. He even asked Spirit and confronted him about the problem. He never could figure it out though and guessed it might just be a catch phrase. Spirit would have something like that, right.
"It could be something wrong with his head." Stein thought. "Maybe I should check." Stein smiled. "It would be easy. Cutting the cranium open couldn't be that hard could it?" He felt a laugh ball up in his thought as he thought about the possible procedure."Well it would be easy to find out." Stein sat up looking at Spirit. "I could do it right here. Why wait?"
Spirit looked at Stein. "Stein?" He said sensing something off with his meister. As Spirit waited for an answer every thing seemed still. In the sistance you could hear Azusa and Marie chatting. They were to far away for them to make out what they were saying.
Stein didn't answer. Spirit picked up on of the snowballs and tossed it at Stein. He caught it. Spirit stood up. "Lets go inside. Azusa-and-Marie-pelting-time can wait." He smiled and grabbed Stein to pulled him up.
Before he could react Stein grabbed his hand and flipped him over. "Stein!" Spirit called in defense with a disorderly fashion.
Spirit was about to attach back when he noticed Stein let go and had turned around. Spirit sat up as Stein walked over to the snowballs and picked one up. He sat down and turned to Spirit. "I'm alright now."
Spirit nodded and joined him.
