I got some AMAZING reveiws from you people and I thought I'd update sooner than planed! Enjoy!
Disclaimer- I sadly do not own Soul Eater. :(
"Yes Dad, I did pack everything I need, I checked twice! We went over this a thousand times already!" Maka said impatiently as she waited by the front door of her house with her lime green suitcase, large navy blue duffle bag, and red draw string bag sitting next to her. Soul should be here any minute now…
"I'm sorry Maka, it's just that you're going to be gone for a long time without any adult supervision. I'm, just nervous." Her dad, Spirit Albarn, said with nervousness.
He may have been a bad father in the past years because of his lying, two-faced, womanizing ways and he may have not been there for Maka when she really needed him, but he still deeply cared about her. Maka knows he does.
"Dad, I'll be fine! If I did forget anything I just go and buy it with the credit card you gave me! And I've took some training courses in self-defense and I'm smart enough took figure things out rationally!" Maka said, trying to put her father at ease, "Besides, I'm not going to be the only one there, my friends will there too! And they would rather swim with man-eating sharks before they let anything happen to me!"
Spirit sighed, "I guess you're right."
Soon after the red-headed man said that, a honk was heard from outside the house. It turned out to be Soul's silver Maserati sports car. He was waving at her to hurry up.
Spirit paled.
"Got to go Dad, bye!" Maka called as she walked over to the car.
"Bye Maka!" Maka's dad called out. Then he muttered, "And please wear a helmet while riding in that death trap of a car."
Once Maka threw her bags in the trunk, she slid into the passenger's seat. "I think you were about to give my dad a heart attack."
"Oh, I try. You know I like to mess with your pervy dad. But you've got to admit, this car's a beauty!" Soul rubbed his hand across the dashboard. He pulled out of the driveway and began the journey to Kid's house.
"I'll admit this car is expensive. I mean really, a Maserati? Couldn't you have chosen a less formal car, like a Porsche or a BMW? You own like five cars on your own!"
"First of all, I only own two plus my motorcycle, and would you rather me take my motorcycle and spend at least 30 minutes arguing with your dad about safety issues?" He smirked when he received no reply, "And there is no need to be acting jealous towards my car. The car doesn't have any feelings."
She gave him a death glare, "Screw you."
She had to fight the urge to Maka Chop him right then. She didn't want to explain to the cops that they got into an accident because she hit the driver in the head with a book.
He laughed and by the time they were done with their little banter, they showed up at Kid's mansion.
"Hey guys! You arrived just on time! The limo just pulled in!" Kid smiled at them as they entered the large house with their bags.
"Argh, what is up with expensive transportation today!" Maka exclaimed in aggravation.
"…What?" Kid asked, baffled.
"Does it have something to do with the sports car you two pulled up in?" Liz asked, walking up behind Kid. Maka grimly nodded. "Then I don't want to know about it." Liz walked away to retrieve her bags from the living room.
"Ha-ha, Sis doesn't like cars!" Patty shouted and went to go follow her sister.
"Anyways, I asked Father if we could use the family jet. I figured it would be easier to travel by than having to wait in all the security lines."
"Really? That's awesome!" Black*Star chimed in as he emerged from Kid's very large kitchen with Tsubaki following him.
"Yes, all we have to do is show the pilot our driver's license, and then we take off!" He looked at Black*Star, "You do have your license right?"
Black*Star looked at him weirdly, "Umm yeah, why wouldn't I?"
Kid nonchalantly opened the front door, "Oh, no reason. Shall we be off?"
They all enthusiastically nodded their heads and filed into the black stretched limo.
Once they were settled into the fine leather seats, Maka said, "I'm so glad I'm not a sophomore anymore! I can now be called an upperclassman!"
Soul sneered, "Do you know how pathetic that sounds compared to the rest of us being seniors next year?"
"Yeah! Third time's the charm, baby!" Black*Star exclaimed. Maka chopped them both in the head.
"OW! How is that possible to Maka Chop two people at once!" Soul cried. Poor Black*Star just sat there, holding his throbbing head.
"This is going to be a long ride." Liz sighed and slumped against the window.
Tsubaki silently agreed with her while Patty just drew giraffes with her favorite yellow crayon.

The limo pulled up to a secluded airport runway with a single plane standing in the middle. The jet was sparkling silver with two black stripes on both of the wings and the sides of the plane, a skull at the end of the stripes. It was definitely a fancy looking plane.
"Holy crap Kid, this is yours?" Liz marveled at the plane.
"Yes, my father would take me in one of these when he went on business trips." Kid replied, looking at the plane.
"Woah…"
"Maybe we should go on the plane? I bet the inside would be really cool too!" Tsubaki said, snapping everyone out their trance. "I think that's the pilot over there!"
As if on cue, the pilot jogged over to them, "Hey guys, you must be the group Death was talking about! My name's Josh and I'll be your pilot for today!" The pilot had short, black hair with gray woven throughout, so he was probably somewhere in his late thirties, and he had grayish blue eyes. "If you would just follow me to the plane and then we'll be off!"
"Do you need to look at our license?" Kid asked.
"Oh no, I can tell you're Death's son! There's no need for that!" Josh massaged the base of his neck. It was a subtle movement, but Kid caught on.
"Oh, okay..." Kid trailed off, eyeing the pilot.
"Now come on everyone! I'm sure you don't want to be waiting here any longer!"
XxXxX
"Wow, this is awesome!" Maka exclaimed. She and the rest of the gang entered the plane.
The plane consisted of eight white leather chairs, two couches with mini fridges next to each of them, and little tables in front of the couches. There are four chairs back to back on both sides of the plane and there is one couch on each side of the plane in the back.
It was a very elaborate set up.
"Just makes yourselves at home and I'll go start the engines!" Josh went to the cockpit. Black*Star crashed on the couch along with Kid and Soul while the girls took a seat in the chairs.
"Wow, this is so cool! The ride might be my favorite part of this trip!" Liz proclaimed.
The plane rumbled to life. The engine hummed as the jet slowly began to move.
"I suggest that you guys would buckle in. We're about to take off!" Josh called out.
The guys moved back to the chairs and the girls went ahead and strap in. "This is a very comfortable seat! I think I'll just go and take a nap…" As soon as Maka said that, she fell asleep.
"Maka fell asleep! She's a quick sleeper!" Patty observed.
"Well, I just hope she won't be too violent when we have to wake her up. Black*Star, got any threes?" Soul asked.
"Go fish."

Two hours into the plane ride and everyone was ready to get off.
Tsubaki was absently staring out the window, Kid was dozing off, Patty was half heartedly drawing a picture, Black*Star was drowning himself with food, Liz was flipping through a magazine, and Soul was listening to his iPod. Maka was still deep in dreamland, dead to the world.
It has been a relatively calm ride, with a few jerky turns here and there, but nothing to worry about.
"Sis, I'm bored." Patty complained.
"I know Patty, another three hours and then we'll be in Florida!" Liz said. She realized how useless a comforting statement that sounded. Her smile faltered a little.
Patty sighed, "Okay." She pouted and went back to coloring.
The plane jerked sharply to the left. Black*Star's food went flying everywhere and Maka would've fallen out of her seat if it weren't for her seat belt.
"What the hell! I was having a good dream!"
Kid jolted awake, "Okay, the first few times were fine, but now I can tell something's wrong!" He unbuckled his seat belt and walked to the cockpit with great difficultly.
Tsubaki looked out the window and gasped. Soul took out his ear buds and looked out the window as well. His eyes widened.
"Umm, are we suppose to be this close to the ground?" The rest of the gang looked out the plane window and they didn't like what they saw.
When Kid entered the cockpit, he was shocked to find the pilot slumped over in his seat. Kid quickly went over and fixed the controls so the plane was going straight again.
He noticed the pilot's sheet white face and empty eyes. Kid pressed his index and middle fingers to his neck, checking his pulse.
No pulse.
Well shit. I would've settled for the asymmetrical hotel.
"Hey Kid, is everything alright back there?" Black*Star called out.
"Uh, yeah! Everything's fine!" He didn't want to freak out everybody.
The statement itself seemed suspicious, but Tsubaki could sense the real direness of the situation. She unbuckled and went to the cockpit.
"Kid, are you sure everything's ok- Oh my God!" Her hand flew up to cover her mouth. She saw the dead pilot slouched over, his head hanging at an awkward angle. "You need to call someone for help!"
"I don't know how to work this!" Tsubaki gave Kid an exasperated look, "Alright, I'll try. You go and tell everyone that Josh… past away." Tsubaki complied and rushed off to tell the gang.
Kid took the hand radio and tried to call for help.
You guys should be proud of me. I did research on cars and planes for you!
I hope you guys liked this chapter and the next planned chapter shouldn't be out until next week. Just thought you guys would like to know that! :)
