Maka:

I still couldn't believe it, I had done it. I ACTUALLY snuck out (With help from Blair, of course). I checked the time, it was barely around four, which meant I had plenty of hours to myself. Blair and I had parted ways once she assisted me, so I decided to head towards town square.

I wondered around the shopping district, aimlessly looking at the random items on display. I saw some beautiful looking dresses and immediately thought of my mother. Papa says I'm going to grow up to look a lot like her, and I hope that's true. I do often wonder what exactly did happen to her, the most I've gotten from Papa was that he and she divorced, although he always changes the subject quickly.

My thoughts were interrupted when I was pushed aside by a strange looking teen around my age. He seemed to be in a hurry, seeing as he didn't even stop to apologize. "Well now," I muttered quietly to myself, "late for your wedding or something?"

"If I slow down I'll lose him," I heard him call back to someone, "There's a demon around here, I'm sure of it." My eyes widened in alarm, a demon? Here? I immediately got serious, whoever this guy was, shinigami or otherwise, he was not going to beat me to that demon. It's a good thing I know my way around the city (Countless trails do pay off after a while). Otherwise that Shinigami would take my kill. As I was running however, a question kept nagging at me, "It couldn't be Soul…could it?"

I turned around a dark alleyway, half expecting a blood thirsty hell-hound to be waiting for its next meal. What I found instead made my day. It was Soul Eater, curled up in a fetal position and muttering nervously. Besides him was a half spilled cup of coffee. I admit it, a cracked a grin when I saw the sorry state he was in. I slowly walked towards him, not wanting to startle him too much.

"Crap, I really screwed up this time." I heard him half murmur under his breath. "That damn Shinigami'll have my head for sure."

I lightly tapped his shoulder, making him freak out and back away farther into the ally, the only thing that was visible in the darkness were his blood red eyes. I heard his breathing relax, as he slowly stepped into the light. The boy rubbed his eyes, as if to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "Oh it's just you," he said, breathing a sigh of relief, "Maka right?"

I nodded and gave him a warm smile, "Hi there Soul." I said, helping him up, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yeah," he agreed wiping some of the coffee that had gotten on his clothes, "I thought for sure-Wait, is the Shinigami gone?" Quickly, Soul put his hood on and peeked outside. "Damn it he's still there," he whispered with a curse, "Ok, I don't suppose any of your witch magic can get us outta this one huh? Aw goddamn it!"

"Relax Soul," I began to explain, but was cut off before I could even think.

"Relax?" He asked me, yanking his silver hair in frustration, "There's a guy ready to cut my head off and display it proudly on his mantle, and you want me to relax?"

"If you'd let me finish," I told him sighing, "You would've known that the Shinigami wouldn't be able to sense you while you're under Soul Protect."

"Soul…Protect…?" He asked in a completely dumbfounded voice. I sighed again, feeling the urge to slap some sense into him rise up...who do men have to be complete idiots sometime?

"Yes, Soul Protect." I repeated myself, "And trust me when I tell you that you're safe." He still didn't look convinced. "You can stop holding your breath now," I assured him, "he can't find you no matter how hard he looks so long as you stick with me."

"Really?" He asked rolling his eyes, it was clear he thought I was lying, "And what happens if I don't stick with you?" I glared at him then turned away.

"Judging from all that wavelength you're letting out; all the Shinigami'll start gunning for you," I told him matter-of-factly, "and half the witches in Death City. But you can handle that right?"

"Wait," I hear him call almost instantly. I smirked as I heard him running towards me. "Ok I believe you, I believe you. I guess that explains why the Shinigami's not after me." I nodded as we both stepped out of the shadows and into the brightly lit city. "So, do all witches use Soul Protect?"

"Yep," I nodded, "It's hilarious when someone's hunting for us and we throw them off simply by casting this. We're right in their faces, and they don't even know it!"

"That's pretty cool." Soul commented as he put his hands on his jacket pockets.

"Really? I always thought demons had the cool stuff."

"Not really, the Hell-gates are about as good as it gets." He said casually, he seemed lost in thought for a second, then he sighed. "Look, since I've got to be near you if I wanna keep my head, you wanna…uh, do something?"

"Do something like what?" I asked slowing down my pace a little.

"I dunno, hang out or something like that?"

I thought about it for a second, "Well, there's a fair in town and it's not too far from here, how's that sound?"

"Ahh…what's a fair?" He asked me after some time, stopping completely. I stopped, surprised. I turned back to make sure it wasn't a joke, but that look of confusion on his face clarified that it wasn't.

"Wow, you really don't get out much do you?" I asked him seriously, he shrugged it off.

"Well, this is the first time I've come to the human world just because."

"Oh, well, this is the first time I've ever gone out without my Papa knowing."

"Wait," Soul slowly grinned, "you snuck out?" I merely nodded, trying to hide the small blush on my face. "Nice," Was all Soul said before giving me a thumbs up, "you're cool. So what's this fair thing?"

"A fair is…well, um…oh, I can't really explain." I've been to one before don't get me wrong, but It's been years since I've last gone, ever since mom…left. "Here," I said, taking his hand, "I'll just have to show you."

"Wow." Was all Soul could manage once we arrived. And I have to agree with him. I haven't been here in like forever, I almost forgot how much fun this place was. I shook off the feeling of sadness and took a deep breath.

"Come on Soul," I said eagerly, half dragging him by the hand, "let's go!"

There was so much to do it made my head spin. I guided Soul through some stands and even stopped at a few at them, though I found it odd that Soul didn't eat or drink anything aside from water. Speaking about Soul, the look on his face told me he was amazed. I wonder, what else has he been missing out on?

"Having fun Soul?" I asked as he exited a batting cage, he had on an actual smile, not a smirk like usual.

"Are you kidding me?" He asked me with a laugh, "This is so cool! And here I thought humans were boring."

"Well I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. Hey, let's go ride the roller-coaster!" I suggested.

"What's a…roller-coaster?" Soul asked confused, I looked at him dumbfounded.

"You don't know what-Oh right, forgot this was your first time here." I said sheepishly. "That," I pointed towards a tall metal contraption behind him, "is a roller-coaster." Soul stared at it for a long time, he almost looked intimidated by it.

"I dunno Maka," he said crossing his arms, "what's so fun about that?"

"Come on, I'll show." I said taking his hand for about the third time today.

"Devil's Drop," Soul read the title aloud, he looked up to see a cartoonish looking demon staring back at him. Besides it was a silly looking warning about us never coming out alive. "Right…" he muttered as we stepped inside the entrance.

We got the middle cart, it was a tight squeeze in the end though. "This is ganna be so fun." I tell so over everyone else's chatter.

"So you keep saying." He whispered back as the cart began taking us upward. "Okay, I think I'm starting to have second thoughts about this." I heard him mutter when he saw how high up we were.

"Here we go." I say, giving Soul a reassuring grin, though he returned an uneasy one.

A few seconds later, I was laughing as we sped downwards; Soul on the other hand, looked like he was ready to die. "HOLY SHIT!" was all I heard him yell as we went up the first loop. "THIS IS…IT'S…KINDA FUN!" I eventually heard him say. I heard him laughing then, he raised both his arms and I do the same until the ride ends.

Looking back, I don't think I've had that much fun with any of my friends.

A/N: That's it? Nope, the next chapter will be posted either tomorrow or the next day (it's around 75% done) Hopefully this makes up for the fact that it's so short. Till next time folks!
