Finally, after me bugging Alanna relentlessly. Chapter 4 is here! It is the longest one and funniest one yet! The wonderful author told me to tell all of you great readers out there that she had a case of writer's block, and that's why she took so long. She also went camping. And I'm going camping on the 29th so I won't be able to upload any chapters she may write while I'm gone. So I guess she'll just have to wrote multiple chapters to make up for it. /grins evilly/
Symmetrical Kisses
Chapter 4
Kid is about to set off on his journey going to a public human school for four weeks. He is talking to his dad about it.
Lord Death: Now Kid, you need to make up an assumed name, wear regular human boy clothes, and forget about symmetry. You also need to dye your hair all black to get rid of those white stripes!
Kid: I can do the other stuff, but no symmetry? Why not?
Lord Death: Most boys your age do not care for symmetry, in fact they find it boring. What will be your assumed name?
Kid: Derek Smith.
Lord Death: good. Go get ready to go. Liz and Pattie will go with you. But they will have to change their clothes because of the school's dress code. Never have them go into weapon form! Now go!
Kid is standing outside by the train station that would take him to the plane where he would get to the small cabin-like thing he would be staying in. Maka walks up.
Maka: Why can't I go with you?
Kid: It's not safe. And a school full of human children? They don't believe in symmetry, why would you want to go?
Maka: /sadly/ So I could be with you.
Kid: /smiles/ That's no place for my girlfriend!
Maka: Did you just-
Maka is interrupted by a quick kiss from Kid. When they pull apart, Maka looks strangely at Kid's clothes and hair.
Maka: Kid, what is wrong with your hair and what in the world are you wearing?
Kid: I had to dye all of my hair black. This is what normal human boys wear.
Maka: They look strange- OH MY FREAKIN' GOSH WHAT ARE PATTIE AND LIZ WEARING? THEIR HAIR IS HIDIOUS!
Kid: That is what human girls wear and how they do their hair.
Maka: That is so sad. Their hair is so poofy at the top.
Kid: I know. Here's my train. Goodbye. /gives Maka a hug/ I'll call you.
Maka: /crying/ Goodbye Kid.
Kid: /from train window/ My name is now Derek!
Maka is still crying.
Liz: Are you and Maka officially boyfriend/girlfriend?
Kid: Yes, NOW GO TO SLEEP!
At the cabin/hotel thingy where Pattie, Liz, and Kid are staying for a month.
Pattie: Oh no, we can't stay here! It's very asymmetrical. Kid will get all depressed.
Liz: It's ok. Kid's dad told him that he needed to not be so worried about symmetry to try and fit in as a normal teenage boy.
Pattie: Poor Kid.
Liz: I'm kinda excited for school.
Pattie: you and me are going to be in the same grade aren't we?
Liz: yes, and we'll be posing as twins.
Pattie: ok.
Kid: /looks tense, but remains silent/
The next day at school.
Liz: This place gives me the creeps.
Kid: Let's find our classes.
Students are staring at them as they cross the hall.
Pattie: I feel self-conscious.
Kid: There's your guys' homeroom. Mine's down the hall.
Liz: 'Kay, see you later "Derek"
Kid: See ya.
Kid enters the classroom.
Teacher: Oh hello. Class, we have a new student that will be here for a while. What's your name?
Kid: Derek Smith.
Teacher: Welcome to Math homeroom Derek. Why don't you come up here and get a math book and then go sit by…hmmm…Chelsea, the girl over there with black hair.
Kid: ok. /goes and gets his math book and sits by Chelsea/
Teacher: class, we have a math test today.
Class: /groans/
Teacher: Derek, you don't have to take it if you don't want to.
Derek: Well, I've got nothing else better to do, so might as well.
Teacher: ok then, my name is Ms. Lane. /Ms. Lane hands out tests/ Ok, class you can begin.
Kid: /looks at his test, writes Derek Smith at the top and begins. This is easy! He said to himself. No wonder these kids hate school, they do nothing fun! I learned this stuff way before this! / (It's a test on trigonometry) Kid finishes his test before any one else does and hands it to Ms. Land/
Ms. Lane: Done already? It's only 10 minutes into the test! Oh, well I won't count it if you get a bad score. /Ms. Lane corrects his test/ Wow! You got 100%! Good job!
Kid: uummm, thanks. /takes his test and goes and sits back down. There was a note on his desk, he opens up and reads it. His eyes go wide open. The note was from Chelsea. He pockets it and goes the rest of the day fine, but Chelsea follows him everywhere. He is unemotional for the rest of the day, but gets 100% in everything he does. /
After school.
Liz: Wow. This is way easy.
Kid: /silent/
Pattie: what's the matter Kid? Did you have a bad first day of school? Is the asymmetry killing you? Do you need a song?
Kid: NO I DO NOT NEED A SONG! /grabs Liz and pulls her into a different room. Pattie follows/
I got a note today from a creepy girl that stalks me like an annoying paparazzi!
Pattie: /singing/ I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me! Papa, Paparazzi!
Liz: /gives Pattie a weird look/ What did the note say?
Kid: It asks me out for a date on Friday!
Pattie: /still singing/ I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too,
Thursday I don't care about you, it's Friday I'm in love!
/Kid and Liz both give Pattie a weird look/
Kid: She is all dark; she has this unemotional look about her face all day! (Except when she's smiling at me!)
Pattie: /still singing/ You read my, you read my, don't you go reading my poker face!
Liz: Pattie, where are you learning all of these songs?
Pattie: human radio, I listened to it today.
Liz: /looks away/
Kid: That's not the worse. At the bottom of the note she wrote "you're love is my drug"
How creepy is that?
Pattie: /still singing/ because you're love, you're love, you're love is my drug!
Kid: somehow, she got a hold of my cell phone number and is calling me constantly, Leaving messages of her breathing. That's so annoying!
Pattie:/still singing/ Don't wanna pick up my telephone!
Kid: /ignoring Pattie/ I mean, this girl has her head up in the clouds!
Pattie: /still singing/ somewhere over the rainbow…
Liz: Pattie too.
Kid: /nods/ I heard her saying stuff like "the sun won't rise tomorrow"
Pattie: / still singing/ The sun will come out tomorrow! Better hold your head up 'till tomorrow!
Kid: I HATE that song! I can't believe that this Chelsea girl would ask me out and I don't even know her.
Pattie: /still singing/ Don't stop belivin' Hold on to that feelin'!
Kid: Will you PLEASE stop singing!
Pattie: sorry, it's just that everything you say has a good song cue.
Kid: WHATEVER! I even overheard some girls talking; they said she's had a "bad romance"
Pattie: /still singing/ Raha Rahaha Roma Romaaaa Gaga Ooo la la caught in a bad romance!
Kid: How do I tell her no? What about Friday?
Pattie: /singing/ This Friday I'm in love!
Liz: Tell her you can't go out with her because you already have a girlfriend and you don't want to talk about it.
Kid: ok. Will do.
The next day at school, Kid is just finishing his lunch. For the first time in his life, he is not the last one in the lunchroom. Chelsea came and sat by him. Kid explained to her and she seemed to be decent a about it, but then she asked him about the dance.
Kid: what dance? Is there a dance?
Chelsea: Yeah, would you like to go with me?
Kid: when is it?
Chelsea: next week.
Kid: Sorry, I can't go with you.
Chelsea's happy smile fades to sheer nastiness as she storms out saying "I understand".
Kid feels relieved, yet sad that he said that to her. Oh Well, He thought. I cannot waste my time doing that! Then he remembers Maka.
Kid: /thinking/ I told her I'd call her, I better do that! She's probably freaking out! /calls Maka/
Maka: /on the other line/ Hello?
Kid: Hey Maka, it's Kid.
Maka: /other line/ Oh Hi! How are you doing down there? Is it hard?
Kid: No, it's pretty easy, Listen there's this dance next week and I was wondering…
Maka: /other line/ A dance! How exciting!
Kid: Do you want to go with me?
Maka: Sure, but I'll need a dress, and learn how to do my hair differently.
Kid: No problem, because Liz and Pattie were talking about going shopping for their dresses this afternoon, can you make it?
Maka: yes. See you then! Bye!
Kid: bye.
At their cabin/hotel.
Liz: Kid! Guess what? The boy that I wanted to ask me to the dance asked me to go with him!
Pattie: Me too! Who are you going with?
Kid: Maka.
Liz & Pattie: ooohhh!
Kid: she's coming dress shopping with us. She should be here any second. You guys need to teach her how to do her hair.
Doorbell rings
Kid: I'll get it! /answers door/ Hi Maka!
Maka: Hi kid /gives Kid a hug/ ready for dress shopping?
Kid: /shudders/ I guess
At dress shop
Kid: This place is huge, it's full of dresses! AAGGGHHH!
Maka, Liz, & Pattie: It's beautiful!
Liz: Let's split up and start looking, Pattie, come with me. Maka, go with Kid.
Pattie: BREAK!
Everyone gives her weird looks.
Pattie: What? That's what they say in football.
The all roll their eyes now remembering Pattie's new obsession with football.
With Pattie and Liz
Liz: I found it! I found the perfect dress! It's gorgeous!
Pattie: I found mine too!
Both of them glance at each other's dresses. They are the exact same dress, but different colors and sizes. Liz's is red with a black sash and black lace, and Pattie's is orange with a white sash and white lace.
Liz: you took my idea! Just because we're sisters doesn't mean that we have to look alike!
Pattie: Sorry, I didn't know, and anyway this is the only dress in the whole store that has my favorite colors in my size.
Liz: Sorry, I guess it doesn't really matter.
With Kid and Maka
Maka: what are you going to wear to the dance Kid?
Kid: I don't know, I haven't decided on that.
Maka: you should decide soon. How about this dress? It's my favorite colors.
Kid looks at a short-sleeved white dress. The dress separates at the middle after the gold belt. It has hearts in the separation. The hearts are gold.
Kid: I like that dress. I think Liz and Pattie will be finding us soon; they have their dresses picked out. You guys should go get them fitted.
Liz and Pattie run up to them and show them their dresses.
Pattie: What are you going to wear Kid?
Kid: I don't know.
Liz: I know what you should wear! A tuxedo!
Kid: NO WAY! THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY I AM WEARING A TUXEDO FOR A SCHOOL DANCE! THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ON IN MY SIZE!
Liz: so you've looked?
Kid: We've been over the whole store! Of course I saw the tuxedos!
Pattie: then you should get one!
Kid: they don't have one in my size!
Liz: that's what fitters are for!
Kid: NO FREAKIN' WAY! I WILL NOT HAVE SOME OLD LADY PIN STUFF IN ME TO MAKE MY TUXEDO FIT!
Maka: /sad puppy dog face/ Please Kid. You would look so cute in a tux!
Kid: fine, but you mention this to nobody, understood?
Everyone Else: Understood!
They all get their clothes fitted.
Kid: glad that's over with.
Liz: we didn't get to see you in your tux!
Pattie: Now we have to go shoe shopping!
They enter shoe store.
Pattie: Let's split up. BREAK!
They split up. Maka picks out a pair of shoes that are sparkly gold with little hearts at the end. Liz and Pattie get the same shoe, but different colors. They are lacy with bows at the end in the same dress colors they have chosen.
Liz: Time for accessories!
Enter a jewelry store.
Kid shudders.
Maka picks out a gold and white rose headband, necklace, bracelet and earring set. She is trying to convince Kid to get a ring.
Kid: THERE IS NO WAY I AM WEARING A FANCY RING!
Maka: What about this one, it's just plain gold, I mean, you picked out plain black shoes, what about a plain gold ring because it would match my outfit!
Kid: THIS IS A WEDDING RING! IT SAYS "I LOVE YOU" INSIDE OF IT!
Maka: you don't have to wear it on your ring finger, and no one will know it's meant to be a wedding ring. Oh and also, you are going to wear this white rose inside of your tux pocket.
Kid: /seeing no sense to argue/ All right, just no more shopping!
Liz and Pattie pick out their stuff and they leave.
Liz: you should spend the night Maka; I don't think Kid wants to take you home with all that stuff right now.
Maka: All right, no reason not too!
Maka spends the night. She is used to being the first one up, but today kid is up before her, making breakfast.
Kid: well, you can eat breakfast and then I will take you home.
Maka: you don't have to,
Kid: no, it's fine./hands breakfast to Maka/ hope you like it, it's just toast and eggs.
Maka: with BACON! I LOVE bacon!
Kid: I know. Hey Maka?
Maka: yeah?
Kid: If I tell you something, will you not tell it to anyone else?
Maka: sure, what it is?
Kid: I love you.
Before Maka can reply, Pattie and Liz come in for breakfast.
Pattie: hmmm, smells good! I love bacon!
Liz: BACON! WHERE! /runs into kitchen and snaps up 5 pieces of bacon and slaps them on her plate/
Pattie: Is there some left for me?
Kid: Yes, but none for me.
Liz: /mouth full/ sorry.
Kid: whatever. Doesn't really matter.
The eat in silence
Kid: well Maka, are you ready to go?
Maka: yes, just let me go get my stuff.
Maka runs back into the room she was staying in and brought out one large bag of the clothes and accessories she had bought yesterday.
As they are riding back to Maka's house, Maka starts thinking to herself.
Maka: /thinking to herself/ whoa. Kid said he loved me. That's a pretty bold move. It's kinda like he planned it, not for me to answer to anything, I want to answer, but I don't want to embarrass him. Oh well, worth a shot./ Hey Kid?
Kid: Yes?
Maka: I've been thinking of what you said to me before, and I want to say I love you too.
Kid: /remains silent/
They are both silent until they both approach Maka's house.
Maka: thanks for taking me home Kid.
Kid: no problem.
They lean forward to kiss, but suddenly the door opens and Soul is standing in the doorway with a murderous look about him.
Soul: Welcome back, Maka.
Maka: Hi soul. /gives Kid a hug/ bye Kid! See you next week!/skips happily inside/
Soul is still standing there, giving Kid a look of pure loathing. Kid is unemotional. Finally he shuts the door and Kid heads back home. He is satisfied.
One week later, night of the dance. Maka is over and Pattie and Liz are helping Maka do her hair. They are all dressed up with their know clothes on. Kid enters the room wearing his tuxedo, with the ring and a white rose tucked in it's pocket.
Liz glances and him and then woof-whistles.
Kid rolls his eyes. Maka is finally finished with her hair.
Maka: I will never again take for granted the simple ways of doing hair! This took absolutely for-EVER!
Kid: /nods, but is very busy looking at her dress/ you look beautiful tonight.
Maka: /blushes/ you look cute in that tux!
Now it's Kid's turn to blush.
Just then, Liz and Pattie walk in.
Liz: Well, are you two lovebirds coming to the dance or not?
Kid and Maka are completely unaware that they were staring into each other's eyes.
Liz: There's my date gotta go! See ya!
Pattie leaves to go and wait for her date.
Maka: Kid, not to be rude or anything, but can we ride on something else besides your skateboard? Liz and Pattie worked really hard on my hair and I don't want to mess it up so they have to fix again when we get there.
Kid: no problem, we aren't riding my skateboard
Kid opens the front door revealing a limousine.
Maka: Kid-
Kid takes her hand and they walk into the limo and sit down.
Kid: It's nice in here.
Maka: /in a kind of a trance/ yeah, it is.
It was a silent ride to the school.
As the arrive at school, Kid sees Chelsea sitting down. By herself. Without a date.
Maka: /whispering/ she looks ready to kill
Kid: /nods/
The dance begins. Pattie and Liz are enjoying themselves. Kid and Maka are dancing a little awkwardly.
Maka: Kid, I didn't know you knew how to dance this well! Where did you learn.
Kid: Dance class.
Maka: You took dance class?
Kid: Yes, don't rub it in.
Maka: fine with me.
After the dance, Kid leads Maka out on some random balcony. They are sitting there looking at the sky when Pattie comes and jumps on them.
Pattie: Hi ya!
Maka and Kid both jump.
Kid: Pattie, why aren't you with your date?
Pattie: He left because he had an allergy attack.
Maka: poor guy…
Kid: why don't you go share Liz's partner?
Maka: Or go bother Liz.
Pattie: Won't really work…
Kid: /a little angrily/ Why not!
Pattie: well…ummmm…. Probably because she's busy kissing her date.
They all look over back into the school building to see Liz kissing her date.
Kid: ok. Never mind then.
Maka: ….
Pattie: See ya!
Maka: glad she left. Kid what's wrong?
Kid: you know the real reason for me coming here, to find the person who carrying all of those souls? I think I might know who it is.
Maka: Well then, who?
Kid: Chelsea.
Maka: whoa. Are you sure?
Kid: positive.
Maka: well, here goes nothing.
A few days later…
Kid: /over the phone/ Well, I guess the only way to catch her is to go to that date on Friday.
Maka: /other line/ didn't you tell her you weren't going?
Kid: Yes, but knowing Chelsea, I bet she'll still be there.
Maka: /other line/ gotta point there. Bye.
Kid: bye.
Kid: /thinking to himself/ Friday! That's tomorrow! Oh gosh, I do not want to go to this place with her /shudders at thought/ especially since I don't know her real age.
The next day…
Pattie: you two-timing jerk! If only Maka saw what you were doing.
Kid: It's part of the mission, and, Maka knows about it.
Pattie: ….If only I had a song for that…
At the restaurant
Kid is sitting by Chelsea.
Chelsea: I'm glad you came here with me Derek. /giggles/
Kid: /shudders with disgusted pain, then thinks to himself/ She has creativity with the elements of torture!
Kid: I'll take you home.
As the leave to the back to the restaurant, Kid pulls out Liz and Pattie (in weapon form of course) and aims right at Chelsea.
Kid: I know you're name is not Chelsea, and you are carrying a ton of souls, and it's my responsibility to get them back.
Chelsea: /shocked/ how did you find out?
Kid: I'm not stupid, and probably the only reason you wanted to date me was because you wanted to figure out who I was.
Chelsea: you're right about everything, except for one thing. I just wanted to date you because I like you.
Kid: Oh well, /shoots and kills/
Chelsea: /dies/
Pattie: Yea! She's dead! Take her soul!
Liz: /both her and her sister are in human form/ and it looks like it's 45 years old!
Pattie: HEHEHEHEHEHE! A middle aged woman had a crush on Kid!
Kid: will you shut it! Anyway, how do you know?
Pattie and Liz: …..
Back at the cabin/hotel thingy they were staying at.
Liz: /packing/ I kind of don't want to go.
Pattie: I know why….HEHEHEHEHE!
Liz: /blushes/ shut up!
Kid: Are you guys done packing up yet?
Liz & Pattie: yes.
Kid: great. I'm finished. I already called Maka, she knows we're coming. After we drop our stuff at out house, we will go see her.
Liz & Pattie: /giggle/
Kid: /rolls his eyes/ anyway, let's move it!
Isn't Kid merciful? He's such a nice little shinigami. Also, please excuse any...er...things that may be contrary to things in the show. Alanna has only seen a few episodes..the 3rd and when Kid first goes to school. She doesn't have much to work with, here. And her self-appointed editor here gets lazy and changing the stuff would make the chapter shorter. And I don't like shortness. Shortness in chapters is bad. So the point is, review! ^.^
