MAKA'S POV:
When I got home from shopping for a dress for the dance, I realized that someone had changed the sheets on my bed. Frowning, I looked for Soul. "Soul? Soooouuull! I'm home!" Blair popped out of nowhere, scaring me half to death. "Soul-kun went to do laundry." If I had been holding a drink, I would have done a spit-take. "WHAT?! HIM?!" "Yeah, who else?" Sighing, I dropped onto my clean bed. Soul was acting weird. Hmmmm... "OH!" I flipped out my rather (unnecessarily) fancy touch phone that Papa had got for me and entered the number for Kid's symmetrical flip-phone. It rang for a while and he finally answered. "Maka?" "Hey, Kid-kun! I was wondering, are going to be attending the dance?" "Of course. I go to all the festivities, don't you know that?" "Yeah, sorry... Do you have a date, then?" "Yes, why do you ask?" Another spit-take worthy moment. "OMG REALLY?! WHO?!" "... C-... Crona..." "WOOHOO! YATTAAAA!" "WHAT?! WHAT?!" "Oh, nothing, nothing... Okay, so I gotta go. See ya!" Confused, he just said "Y-yeah..." I hung up and dialed Crona's number. (I had given her my old phone because of the stupid new one Papa forced me to use) She answered "Hello?" "CRONA! OHMYGOSH!" "W-what? Maka?" "KID ASKED YOU TO GO WITH HIM TO THE DANCE?!" "Yeah... I didn't know how to deal with it at all, so I just accepted..." "YAY! Now you finally are blending in and moving on, I'm so happy for you!" "Yeah..." I smiled to myself and hung up. That was great! Except... Now I can't go to the dance. Sighing, I flopped down on my bed again. Maybe I really wouldn't go... and Soul wasn't talking to me and was acting weird, and I blew my money on a dress I'd never wear. PERFECT. Jeez... Oh well, at least everyone else could have fun, even if I don't go. Just then, I got another call. "Eh? Clay-kun?" Clay was a boy in my class, so strong with his partner Akane that they do missions for Shibusen, not unlike Me and Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki-chan, and Kid with Liz and Patty. "Yeah, Maka," He answered, "Do you wanna go to the Valentine's dance with me?"
SOUL'S POV
I finished the laundry and headed home not knowing why I went to the trouble. Maka usually did it, right? Then I remembered the sight of her sheets covered in fresh blood and knew why. I NEVER wanted to remember that sight. Shuddering, I stepped into the apartment I share with Maka. "Maka? You here?" "Stepping in, I heard Maka say "Eh? Really?" Slience, then "Of course! I'd love to go to the dance with you! Alright, I better go. Bye!" She hung up and came out of her room. "Oh, hey! I didn't hear y-" I went into my room and slammed the door before she could finish. I collapsed onto my bed and thought about what I had said before. I don't DO dances, SO NOT COOL. Then why was I pissed that Maka was going? She could do whatever the hell she wanted, it wasn't my business. Remembering Tsubaki's teasing, I wondered, was she right? Did I have more than friendly feelings for Maka? Cool men aren't supposed to fall for people like Tiny-Tits Maka! What the hell was up with me?! "Damn it all..." Then I heard a knock on the door. "Soul?" Miss Tiny-Tits herself called. "Is it okay if I come in? It's alright if you wanna be alone..." "Do whatever you want." She came in, with a little wrapped box in her hands, and sat on the edge of my bed. "C'mon, I have something cool to show you." "Hn?" She held out the box to me, smiling. Opening it up, I found a little keychain of... "Us?! Where'd you get this?!" "There's a whole store FULL of stuff like this! It's the Shibusen Fan Store, me and the others saw it at the mall! I have the same one." She held up her keys, sporting the same keychain. It was chibi version of me and Maka. Grinning, I said "Even your keychain self is flat-chested." "MAKA CHOP!" Wiping the blood from my nose, I said "So, who was that you were talking to?" "Clay-kun, from our class. Partnered with Akane-kun?" Ignoring my feelings of wanting to smash his head in, I said "Oh." OH?! WHAT KINDA UNCOOL ANSWER WAS THAT?! Again, I kept my thoughts quiet. "Ne, Soul... You're not going, right?" "Yeah, why would I?" "Never mind." She snapped, getting up and leaving. I fingered the chibi keychain. Heh. Suddenly I grinned.
The dance was in three days, and I had an idea.
Sorry this chap's kinda short! Next time'll be better, I promise! Wonder what Soul's planning? :D
