Hey heys! :D I'm BACK! And with shout-outs to: xDooms Madnessx, xXEmberthehedgehogXx, Lucy Ashley from Fairy Tail, 15 fallen angel, BeriForverFan, and twinzombiekiller. I tried to make this chapter longer, seeing as how the other chapters are so short, and I kind of failed. XD Well, enjoy anyways! XD

Maka stormed into her house and slammed the door. She was so angry with Liz, she couldn't believe it! Did she have some kind of crush on Soul?! She just had to find out for herself. Maka had never flown before, and she wasn't planning on it, so she would ask her father (who would probably commit a mass murder for her) to drive her to California, Soul's home. Maka approached her papa in the living room, where he was snoring to his heart's content. Maka cleared her throat and he snapped awake, spilling a bowl of Cheetos that coated his fingers as well. She gagged a little.

"Uh, dad?" she started, not knowing how exactly to ask, "Could you please…Drive me to California? And could you please…Get a hotel room with me?" Spirit cocked his head a little and then sighed.

"Sure pumpkin-," Blair cut him off with a loud meow, probably from the word "pumpkin", "I'd do anything for you." Maka mentally fist-pumped and did a little happy dance. Before she knew it, they were off to California, passing big cities and small, run-down towns. Maka really didn't really know why she was doing this, she just was. She guessed it was probably just Liz's fault. Everything was Liz's fault. She even somehow managed to blame her for Soul's leaving Death City. Black*Star and Tsubaki volunteered to cat-sit Blair while they were gone. Maka figured that the longest time she would be there was for three days; then she'd come back home and continue being tortured with the long-distance relationship.

"Are we almost there?" Maka asked, lowering her eyelids at the boring scene outside her window. Spirit nodded and turned the radio up louder so that he wouldn't be bothered with any more questions. That worried Maka, since he was always open to any conversation with her. She bit her lip and focused on the passing road signs and occasional gas station. Then she saw a palm tree, then another, and another. Pretty soon, she was in a beautiful city just GUSHING with vegetation. She stared in awe at the breathtaking sight. Then she pulled one of Soul's letters to her out of her back pocket and read the address out loud. Spirit nodded and turned, hoping he wouldn't get lost in all the hustle and bustle.

"Is that it?" he asked, pointing to a small house near the ocean. Maka shrugged.

"How am I supposed to know?" she asked, but then she saw Liz and grabbed her father's arm.

"That's it! That's it!" she yelled, pointing desperately at the house. The house was fairly small, but comfortable. It had two open windows at the front and a purple door. The whole house was painted tan, so the door really stood out. On the porch, three were two rocking chairs. Seated in those chairs were Liz and Soul…Spirit pulled over at the curb and Maka jumped out of the car. She stomped over to the porch, jumped on, and ripped the shades off of Soul's face.

"Hey-!" she started to shout, but then his face softened and he just gaped at her. Maka had her hands on her hips and she motioned to Liz.

"What the hell is happening here?!" she demanded, needing answers. Soul stuttered a bit and then shook his head to clear it. Liz stood up and faced Maka.

"I…I came down here because I needed to see him…" her voice trailed off and she got a little space-outish. Maka smacked her back to reality.

"What do you mean you 'needed to see him?!'" she asked. It sounded more like a demand than a question. Liz sighed and looked down at the wood porch floor beneath her.

"You see, it all started when he left…" she sighed, "I always thought that soul was just kind of an arrogant asshole, but then when he left, he was all I could think of…I didn't mean to start any trouble; I'll go if you want me to…" So now she's playing innocent. Maka thought. She rolled her eyes and grabbed Liz by the collar.

"Good!" she shouted. "Leave!" Soul just hung his jaw and stared the whole time. Even though Maka was shorter than Liz, she was still intimidating to face, so Liz backed down. She got off of the porch and began walking to nowhere in particular.

"What were you doing?" Maka asked, her eyes suddenly tearing up. She knew she was being overly dramatic, but she didn't care; she needed answers. Soul blinked a little and then stood up.

"Listen, and don't interrupt me," he started. Maka nodded, tears still forming, and Soul sighed. "Liz likes me, a lot. I didn't just want to tell her to get out of here, I mean; she flew all the way here! So I just treated her like a friend a tried to tell her that we could never be more than that." Maka nodded and then looked down at her feet. Now she just felt ashamed for being selfish. She never thought about Liz's feelings…All she had room to think about was that she might steal her love!

"Hey…It's okay," Soul said, and smirked. "You have nothing to feel guilty for." Only she did feel guilty. Soul lifted Maka's chin and kissed her. Maka had never felt more relieved or safe in her life. That moment just sealed the deal that they were fine, and Maka was still going to continue with her life. The kiss got better, smoother…Until Spirit honked the horn, making the two jump apart.

"Hey," he shouted out the car window, "Stop making out with my daughter, you creep!" Soul rolled his eyes.

"Yeah…I'M the creep…" he said under his breath. Maka giggled.

"So, are you going to be here for long?" he asked, laying his arm around her shoulders, "because I was thinking that we should probably-no, definitely-do something together soon." Maka nodded.

"I have enough clothes packed for a week," she lied. She actually only had enough clothes for about four days, but she didn't care because hey, would you care if you had a boyfriend as hot as Soul?
