Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Go on kids, make some friends." Spirit had said to them, so they had begun their walk towards the playground. There were quite a few kids playing together in the sandbox, a few swinging on the swings and a couple taking turns on the slide. Their parents hovering near the edge of the barked area in case they had to intervene for whatever reason. Maka gripped her brothers hand tight and refrained from using her soul perception and take the advice offered to her. "Just talk to them, get to know what kind of person they are on your own, you can't judge immediately, life is about making mistakes and learning." Her teacher had told her this, because living without friends was not a life anyone wanted to live. Solitude was insanity and although she had a twin, he would need friends that weren't just her as well.
Maka scanned the playground looking to see if she spotted someone she wanted to approach. She heard very loud laughing coming from the sandbox and looked over and saw a group of kids playing together and laughing. She was curious, pulling gently on her brothers arm she directed them towards the sandbox. Kidd was surprised that she had decided on the sandbox, there were four kids over there already and they looked like they were having fun. He did not protest until they got closer and he realized there was only one other female in that group.
"M-Maka, maybe we shouldn't there is only one other girl over there." A small giggle was heard and his face scrunched up and he frowned in response to it. "Really Maka, boys are mean and I don't want them getting close to you." "But Kidd, they look like they're having fun, and you said you would try." Four-year-old Kidd knew he wouldn't win, he did say he would try and he could always beat up the other boys if he didn't like them or they did anything to his "little" sister. "Okay." He said simply and the smile he was rewarded with made it worth it, he would make sure his sister always smiled like that.
As they approached the sandbox the other four kids had noticed them and were looking at them curiously. "H-Hi I'm Maka, and this is my brother Kidd can we play with you?" The girl in the sandbox looked at Maka and smiled a toothy smile she had blue eyes and dark brownish black hair that was let loose and hung to her shoulders and had a grey tank top on and blue knee length shorts with no shoes or socks on. "Hi Maka and Kidd, my name is Tsubaki you can play with us if you want we are making castles."
One of the boys looked from Maka to Tsubaki and shrugged, if she wanted to play she could he didn't care. "Yeah, if you wanna play we will let you." Kidd looked over at the boy, he had really short hair, glasses, was almost as fair skinned as he and Maka and was wearing a plain black t-shirt and camouflage cargo shorts he also was wearing no shoes or socks. "I'm Ox and this is my best friend Harvar." He gestured to the boy sitting next to him who was wearing long blue jeans and a white t-shirt and flip flops. Harvar waved slightly in greeting, too caught up in building his sand castle to actually say hello.
Delighted that they were welcomed Maka and Kidd sat next to each other and pulled off their shoes and socks as well so they wouldn't get sand in them. "Oh wait!" Maka realized there were only three kids here…" Weren't there fou— ""YAHOOOOOO" Curious as to who interrupted her while she was talking she looked to the direction of the shouting. There standing on top of the tether ball pole was a boy with light blue hair wearing a white tank top and dark blue shorts. "I AM THE GREAT BLACK STAR AND IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IN THE SANDBOX YOU NEED TO BOW TO ME BECAUSE I AM YOUR GOD!" Maka and Kidd looked at each other both wide-eyed because he was obviously only human and started laughing "YOU DARE LAUGH AT YOUR GOD?!" "Black Star you're so weird, how did you even get up there, get down before you fall." Tsubaki scolded him as if she does this a lot. "Sorry about him, he is really weird and loud." "Don't worry Tsubaki, he made Maka laugh I guess it is okay that he is weird." Kidd reassured her and put his arm around his sister who was starting to calm from her laughter only to start again when Black Star fell off the pole trying to get down. Tsubaki joined in the laughter, and looked at Black Star with a smug smile before telling him she told him so.
Kidd helped Maka build a castle while the others worked on theirs, there were small comments made and laughter when castles would fall apart once their castle was finished and dubbed perfectly symmetrical by Kidd Spirit came to retrieve them to head back to their father. Maka was surprised that none of them had asked them anything about themselves, they just accepted her and Kidd and played with them. She didn't see the aftermath of their play-time, though the children didn't know or care who her and her brother were their parents and guardians did. It was made clear to the children that should they see the Shinigami twins again they should be treated with complete respect as they will one day rule the mortal plain. Black*Star didn't listen; he would surpass god there was no room on his stage for them. They were his subjects, not the other way around, he would not treat them any differently than he did today, Lord Death's children or not.
