Hikarru: Third chapter. Who is this hooded figure? You'll find out soon enough.
Gaby: The anticipation is killing me! Hurry up and do the disclaimer!
Hikarru: Na, I'm too lazy to do it.
Gaby: Ali-Kun, you do it!
Ali: Why me?
Gaby: Because Hika-Chan is your Senpai, so you do it!
Ali: Hikarru doesn't own anything pertaining to Soul Eater. There, happy?
Gaby: Very.
Hikarru: Thanks, Ali-Kun. Now on with the story.
Kid and Black Star were freaking out all day, wondering when Excalibur would arrive.
"I can't believe this." Black Star sighed, sitting next to Tsubaki at the lunch table.
"He can't be all that bad." Tsubaki reassured him, "Besides, he is with a FEMALE meister. Females have a way of changing things for the better."
Soul laughed and received a Maka Chop as a reward.
"I wonder if he is really the greatest weapon." Gaby mused, being out of character from her usual self. She realized this and did her cutesy pose the best she could while sitting down.
"Don't we all remember Hiro?" Kid asked.
Everyone groaned.
"Who's Hiro-San?" Gaby asked.
"He had Excalibur at one point." Maka said, "But after a month of having him, Excalibur eventually got on his nerves."
Gaby thought for a moment, putting her finger on her lips, "Well maybe Excalibur-Sama has changed."
Everyone at the table started to laugh.
Gaby pouted and looked at Soul with puppy eyes, "Soul-Kun. Are you laughing AT me?"
Soul felt bad, "No, Gaby-Chan! We are laughing with you…"
"But I'm not laughing…" Gaby pouted more.
Soul rubbed his head nervously, "How about I give you a piggy-back ride?"
Gaby beamed, "R-Really? YAY!" She jumped onto Soul's back and cheered as he walked down the corridor.
Everyone else at the table shook their heads.
…
"Have you heard that someone is wielding Excalibur again?" Ali asked Stein-Sensei.
"Yes, I have heard." Stein-Sensei wasn't doing his usual dissecting today, "And a female is wielding him."
Ali gave him a glare, "You don't think females can wield such a sword?"
"No, I believe that a female is more able to wield Excalibur." Stein-Sensei shuffled through some papers.
"Really?" Ali asked, surprised, "Please elaborate."
Stein-Sensei smiled at that, "Females are much more tolerable of his BS*. I mean, Hiro gave him up because he was having sneezing fits."
"Wow." Ali gaped, "I guess you got a point there."
"Well, MOST females are tolerable of these things." Stein-Sensei smirked, "I don't think you are one of them, Ali-Kun."
"Stein-Sensei!" Ali jumped up in defense, "Are you calling me a male?"
"I wasn't." Stein-Sensei laughed, "You thought that one on your own."
Ali growled and grabbed the heaviest book in the room, "You'd better run, Sensei. I'm not afraid to hit a Sensei."
Stein-Sensei laughed harder, "Oh I'm so scared."
"THAT'S IT!" Ali chased after the man, who rolled out the door on his chair, "GET BACK HERE!"
That was sure a sight to see. Ali, the new girl, chasing Stein-Sensei with a book, ready to hit him.
"He must of done something perverted to her." said a random girl.
"Perverted Sensei." said her friend.
…
The bell chimed, signaling class to start.
Stein-Sensei stopped and turned around, in time to see Ali trip and knock them both down.
"Are you alright, Ali-Kun?" Stein-Sensei sat up.
"Ouch." Ali's nose was scratched up, "Yeah, I'm fine."
…
"Where is Sensei?" Gaby was freaking out, "And where is Ali-Kun!"
"Why are you so cute?" Soul babied the girl.
Gaby giggled, "I don't know. I guess I was born with it."
Maka sighed, 'Those two are impossible.'
The class got quiet when they saw Stein-Sensei and Ali walk into the classroom together. Automatically, rumors were coming out of people's mouths.
"I told you Sensei was perverted."
"He must have touched her…"
"Are they having a fling?"
"No way! That's gross!"
Every rumor was heard by Ali, and each one pissed her off more and more. Finally, she snapped.
"How dare you people talk about Stein-Sensei in such a way!" Ali growled, "All you do is spread rumors without knowing the whole story, and even the whole story is none of your business. So I'd advise you to shut your mouths before you say something that could get you killed!"
The tone in Ali's voice scared everyone, they all hid under their desks. Ali got her backpack, flung it over her shoulder, and said, "I'm out of here. This class is so idiotic that it makes me sick."
"Ali-Kun! Wait!" Gaby grabbed her backpack and ran after her, stopping in front of the class to say, "Gomen nasai, mina-san**!" Then she ran off to find her younger sister.
Stein-Sensei just stared out the doorway before saying, "Well, I guess we can take that test now."
All the students groaned, not wanting to take their punishment.
"Oh?" Stein-Sensei smirked, "So you all want Fs while Ali-Kun and Gaby-Chan get an A?"
Everyone took out their pencils and began to take their test without further question.
Stein-Sensei smirked and looked out the doorway once more.
…
"Ali-Kun!" Gaby ran after her sister, "Wait for me!"
Ali didn't slow her step. Thoughts strung through her head. She turned around abruptly and started to rant.
"How could they assume something so… wrong?" Ali began, "I mean, Stein-Sensei is an Oyaji***, so there would be no way that I would ever get with him. And the way they were talking so bad about him… He's not a bad guy, actually I find him quite interesting. So why do that talk bad about him?"
"Ali-Kun!" Gaby put a finger to her lips, "Calm down! There are rumors in EVERY school and in EVERY place ALL over the world. You won't escape them, so calm yourself."
Her sister's words helped Ali calm her nerves. She sat and sighed, "It just makes me so mad."
"I know." Gaby sat next to her, "But we moved here so we could start anew."
Ali knew her sister was right, "Yeah, I guess."
Gaby smiled, "Let's go back to class."
"No way." Ali said, "We have a test right now."
"How do you know?" asked Gaby.
"I do spend a lot of time with Sensei. I know what is coming up after lunch." Ali shrugged.
"Hmm." Gaby looked out into the garden. She sat back down and relaxed, "Looks like we will be here awhile."
"Yup, looks like it." Ali relaxed next to her and dozed off.
*We ALL know what BS stands for.
**Gomen nasai mean I'm sorry. Mina-san mean everyone or everybody; addressing a large crowd of people.
***Oyaji mean Father/Dad but it could also mean 'old man'. In this case, it means old man. Ali calls Stein-Sensei this from now on to show their relationship growing.
Hikarru: See? It was longer.
Gaby: I would have killed you if it wasn't. :D
Hikarru: So kawaii, yet so evil.
Gaby: -smirk-
