Kid was walking to a festival that was being hosted at the heart of Death City. He pulled the strap of the bag over his back and readjusted it. He was minding his own business until he spotted his girlfriend; Maka. He rushed up to her and tapped her shoulder. Since she was sitting on a bench, she lifted her head from the book in her hands and looked at Kid. She closed her book and stood up.

"Hi!" She glanced at the bag over his shoulder and pointed at it. "What's that?"

"A guitar," He smiled. "I'm performing in a band today."

"Really?" Maka was surprised and a bit happy for him.

"Yeah. Well, I have to go now. Hope I see you there." He waved at her before running off. Maka began walking to the festival in front of her and preparing herself for the concert.

I wonder who else is in his band.

After an hour of browsing at the activities, the speakers on the poles announced that a band was going to perform. Maka immediately reacted and jogged to the performing part of the festival. She let herself get lost in the crowd of people in front of the stage. As soon as some band members piled on the stage and everybody cheered, Maka felt her mood sink. Her hands grew ice-cold and the color of her face drained.

What's Kid doing playing in a band with Soul? And BlackStar and Liz?

Maka stepped back but was stopped when she bumped into a person. From there, she knew there was no escaping.

Soul had a guitar in his hands and was in front of a microphone. Kid was holding a bass guitar and was also in front of a microphone. Both of them were in front of the stage. BlackStar was behind a drum set and Liz had her hands on a keyboard. In a few seconds, a song began to play.

Bold-Soul, Italics-Kid


Soul tapped his foot as the song played. Some of the audience did so too.

She held the world upon a string
But she didn't ever hold me

He grinned at the audience.

Spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy

His face expression turned normal.

Cause she couldn't ever have me

Kid looked down at the guitar as he played.

She said she'd won the world at a carnival
But she could never win me
Cause she couldn't ever catch me

Soul spotted Maka and smirked at her.

I, I know why

Maka locked gazes with him. She couldn't look away.

Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, just see the sky

Kid looked up at everybody.

I don't love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie

He shrugged.

But who could love me?
I am out of my mind

His eyes glanced around at the band members.

Throwing a line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream

Kid smiled at Maka; but noticed that she wasn't looking at him. His smile faded and his face expression turned blank.

The sun was always in her eyes
She didn't even see me

Soul pointed at the crowd.

But that girl had so much love
She'd wanna kiss you all the time
Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time

Soul darted a look at Maka as if to say it was her.

She said she won the world at a carnival
But I'm sure I didn't ruin her

He shook his head.

Just made her more interesting
I'm sure I didn't ruin her
Just made her more interesting

Soul stepped back and straightened himself.

I, I know why

Kid glanced at Maka again. This time, she stopped staring at Soul.

Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky

He could feel Maka looking at Soul again.

When I look in her eyes
Well I, I just see the sky

Maka could feel the blush creep up to her cheeks.

I don't love you I'm just passing the time

Kid intensely stared at Maka until she payed attention.

You could love me if I knew how to lie

Maka's eyes changed emotion as he sang.

But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea

Kid looked away from her.

To see if I can catch a dream

The band members continued to play softly. Both Soul and Kid didn't look at Maka; but she kept on staring at them. The audience swayed with the music and smiled.


Kid walked down the stairs from the stage. The crowd quickly piled out and Maka was left there, standing alone. Kid brushed past her before she could react at all. When she did, she quickly went up to him and grabbed his shoulder.

"What was that?" Maka asked. Kid stopped in his tracks and faced her.

"A song. What kind of connection was going on between you and Soul?" He raised an eyebrow. Maka crossed her arms and put on her determined attitude.

"Nothing was 'going on'. What I want to ask you is: what did those lyrics mean?"

Kid tiled his face up to the sky to think about it for a moment.

"I don't think it was directed at you."

"Who created the lyrics?"

"Wh-"

"Maka." Someone called behind her. She turned around and saw Soul. Her spine shivered then she responded...by asking a question.

"What did those lyrics mean?" She repeated to Soul this time.

"I'm not sure. Why, do you think it was meant to hurt you like your song was to me and Liz?" He smirked. Maka pouted and crossed her arms.

"That's not it! Forget about it." She stormed off, frustrated.

Soul shoved his hands in his pockets and sighed.

Now she knows how it...sort of...felt. I didn't get mad, though.

"Soul, are you planning on doing that again? Tell her something like that through a song?" Kid asked.

"Probably not, why?"

"...Just asking." He eyed Soul then walked off.

Soul kicked the dirt on the ground while he headed home.

Why's he mad? He's the one who sang most of his part directed at his own girlfriend. Stupid.

He let the dirt fly around for a bit, then laughed.

People being upset for each other right now doesn't make any sense. It's just a song.


A/N: I'm not sure what the song is exactly supposed to mean, but for this chapter I used it as a direct response to Maka.
