Author's note: Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait but, I had tests to study for ya know? ~_~" Anyway, here's part 2!
The DWMA'S Danceoff Dinner theater Event! Old Feelings Return? Part 2 "Filling the Spot"
Ding Dong!
The two Wooden doors of Gallows Mansion opened "Hey guys."
"Hi Patty."
She stepped aside, "Com'on in!"
"Ah, glad you could make it!" The other sister greeted.
"Thanks for inviting us over." Maka replied.
"Wow" Tsubaki said as she looked around. "Nice place you have here!"
"Thanks." Liz said.
Patty turned to the three "Hey! Would you guys like a tour?"
"Sure." Tsubaki replied. Maka just smiled, "Why not?"
The four walked through the living room and pasted by the dining room with the really long table. As they went up the stairs, they first came across a room with a Hot Pink colored door. Inside, there was a bed with a dresser/table next to it, another small table with a CD player on it, a Closet, and a few photos hanging up on the walls. Maka turned to Liz "Cool room!"
The next room had a Light Pink door. The interior of this room was similar to her big sister's but there was a small bookshelf filled with random picture books and books on zoo animals. It also had a medium-sized Giraffe plushie sitting on the top.
A little further down the hall was a room with a Dark Grey colored door. "This must be Kid's room." Tsubaki said.
They peered inside. There was a Queen sized bed directly across from the doorway up against the wall, a small table/draw on both sides of the bed with a lamp on each, two closets on opposite sides of the room and two pictures hanging on the walls.
"Umm…okay then…let's move on!" The meister suggested.
The last door was Black with a white lining. Tsubaki pondered for a moment and then asked, "Who does this one belong to?"
"It's Lord Death's." the younger gun answered.
The other two just stood sighlent for a minute or so until the jingling of keys could be heard. The main doors creaked open as the figure walked in.
The door shut behind him and he proceed to make his way up the steps and down the hall towards his room. The shadow stopped in front of the four and looked down. "Oh, eh sorry, I didn't see you there."
"No worries" Maka replied and with that he went into his room.
"Did he seem..a little out of it to you?" The meister questioned.
"I guess so." Liz said "He's usually more energetic when he walks in the door."
Patty wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention and was already halfway down the hall. "Com'on guys! Lets go do something else!"
"Well, I'm going to change into my Pajama's" Maka said.
"Me too" Tsubaki agreed.
"K, just go to Patty's room when you're done."
After they all had changed, they were in Patty's room chatting about what to do next.
"Pillow fight?"
"Nah, we'll probably end up knocking something over…"
"Truth or dare?"
"No way, I've played that game too many times to count!"
"How about just talking and getting to know each other a little."
"Ah, sure why not?"
An hour had pasted and they got on the subject of school and eventually, tomorrow's event.
"Here." Maka said as she pulled the flyer out of her bag, "This is the list of who signed up for tomorrow's show."
"Ooo, let me see." Patty said.
"Why don't you put it down in the middle of the floor so that we could all see?" Tsubaki suggested.
Maka nodded and placed it in the middle of the circle that they were sitting in and watched.
Liz started to read the entries out loud "So, Professor Stein and are doing Swing, Professor Sid and Nygus are doing Disco and…..oh…"
"What is it?"
"There's only one last entry but it's not completely full."
"For which one?"
"Tango and the only one who signed up was Professor Eibon."
"What do you think we should do about it? The Dance is tomorrow!"
They all sat there for a few seconds before someone spoke. "I know!"
All eyes were on Maka, "Why don't we ask Lord Death if he'll sign up?"
"I don't think that's such a great idea."
"How come?"
"For one thing, I don't think that he's human."
"True, but, what about Kid? His son is a human so Lord Death must also have a human form."
"I guess you've got a point there." "Let's go!"
While they were on there way to Shinigami's room, they passed by Kid.
"Liz, Patty."
"Hey Kid, we're off to ask Lord Death if he'll join in on tomorrow's event!" Patty eagerly said.
"How come? Would you like my father to take part in it or is there another reason?"
"Kind both…" Maka trailed off. "You see, there is one category that only has one person without a partner and we were going to as your dad if he'd fill in that spot."
"Oh, okay" Kid said a friendly tone. "I'll go get him."
"Thanks Kid."
"No problem just follow me."
So down the hall they went until he came to a stop. Kid proceeded to knock on the door eight times before his father opened it. He was still in his cloak and he did seem a little groggy as if he had just been woken up from a deep sleep. The eye sockets of his mask narrowed as he yawned. "Kid, I told you a dozen times that you only have to knock twice?" he attempted to say kindly.
"But, 2 is not a symmetrical number unlike 8."
Lord Death sighed before turning his attention to the other young meister, "Oh hello Maka. Did you need something?"
She looked at her feet for a moment before asking. "Yes actually, I wanted to ask you something."
"Hm?"
"Would like to take part in tomorrow's event?"
"The dancing competition?"
"Yes that's the one."
"Maybe…why do you need me for it?"
"Because no one else signed up for tango along with the other."
"And this person would be?" he asked
"Professor Eibon."
"…"
Maka frowned "Uh…Lord Death? Are you okay?"
He just stood there for another moment before answering. "I'm fine…just a little exhausted."
"So will you do it?"
"I'll be happy to!" he replied in a energetic tone.
"Thanks Lord Death!" she happy said as she went back to the others.
"How'd it go?" Patty asked.
"He's in."
"That's great!" Tusbaki added.
Thirty minutes later everyone was getting ready for bed. The Thomson sisters went to their own rooms while Tsubaki got settled in the guest bedroom and Maka was left wondering which couch she would sleep on. She had insisted that Tsubaki should take the extra room and that she would sleep elsewhere. However, she was stopped by Kid when she got to the living room.
"Maka? What are you doing down here with at this time? Didn't the others already got to bed?"
"Yeah, well…I'm sleeping out here?"
He raised an eye brow. "How come is the guest room taken?"
She nodded.
"Here," He took the sheet from her and placed it down on the couch that he was sitting on and then took her bag. "I'll stay down here. You can sleep in my room."
"But Kid! I you don't have to-"
"It's fine. I can not just let you stay out here while everyone else gets a nice bed to rest in."
"….Wow…um thanks Kid."
He carried her stuff up to her room and opened the door for her as well. She took the bag back and they both said good night. Both also thinking of tomorrow night's event.
