Chapter 4: So This Is Love

It was officially graduation day! Everyone was in their graduation hats and gowns, Including Soul, who was not too happy about that.

"Do I seriously have to wear this stupid gown? It's so uncool!" Soul whispers to Maka to Maka as they sit in their chairs

"Yes, of course! It's traditional!"

"But what if I just-'

Maka interrupted him "Tell you what, wear the dress all night, and later I'll make you feel like the coolest guy alive. How 'bout that?"

He didn't even have to think about it "Ya, okay."

She giggled at his response and laid her head on his shoulder. They weren't separated by name because there were only 97 students graduating that year, and Lord Death know them all by name. So, Lord Death would just call up the row, call out their name and their partner's name, and hand them a fake diploma.

"Why are the diplomas fake again?" Soul wondered.

"They don't want anything bad to happen to them, so they send them in the mail. We'll get them in the mail tomorrow."

"Oh."

Maka's row got up. Maka and Soul were the last ones in their row. When Lord Death looked over, he saw Maka and Soul holding hands and walking up to the podium.

"Goodness, this one's for our Valedictorian, Maka Albarn and her partner Soul Eater Evans!" Everyone cheered. Especially Spirit, who was yelling "My Maka!" They both received their "diplomas" with crazy grins.

Once they sat back down Soul pulled her in close and whispered "Why didn't you tell me you were gonna be Valedictorian?"

"Well it was just so obvious... I thought you knew."

"No, I didn't! That's totally awesome Maka! I know I've said this about a thousand times, but you really are the coolest partner ever. I freaking love you" He pulled her in for a kiss.

"Well your a Death Scythe, so your the coolest weapon ever."

"Let's just agree that we're both super awesome."

The ceremony ended with Kid, Patty, and Liz relieving their diplomas. Everyone stood up and cheered. Kid had just done so much for the Academy, and he was going to be the next Grimm Reaper, so everyone pretty much loved him by now. Liz was holding on to her sister's arm and crying while shouting "Thank you all so much!"

Lord Death ended the ceremony with a super short speech. Everyone's hats went into the air and they all cheered.

Soul had his arm wrapped around Maka when Spirit walked over to them both and gasped. "A... a...!" His fingers and eyes were twitching.

They both look over to him and sweat drop. "Oh great." They both say.

Maka runs over to him to try to calm him down. "Papa, what is it?"

"You... you never told me about this! Soul, your a dead man! When I get my-"

"Come on Papa. Please be a little mature about this."

"Noooooo! Makaaaaaaaa! Soul is stronger than me and now he has my daughter?! AAAAAAAHHHH!" He screamed as he spit up blood.

"Papa, listen!"

Spirit stopped his rantings to listen. "Soul and I love eachother, and you crying about it isn't going to change that. He's not like you. I trust him." She said while putting her hands on her hips.

Spirit looked up at Maka sighed. "Geez Maka. When did you grow into a woman? It seems like just yesterday you were in my arms and I was reading you your favorite book." He put his hand over his eyes in remembrance.

Maka smiled. Finally I knocked some sense into him.

"Just promise me one thing." Maka perked her ears up. " Promise me you want end up like Kami and I did."

Maka nodded. "Kay"

Off to the right, Maka heard a "Hey, did someone say my name?" She turned and her face brightened like the sun. "Mama!"

"Hi Maka!" Maka ran into Kami's open arms. While in the embrace, she looked up and glared at Spirit. He retreated. This played out for an awkward 12 seconds, until Kami regarded him.

"Spirit."

He replied nervously, his gaze shifting the whole time. "Ah, ya... hi Kami."

Maka looked up to her mother after releasing the hug. "Why are you here Mama? I mean, not like I want you gone, I'm just curious."

"Well, I couldn't very well miss my own daughter's graduation. And I figured I've been gone long enough. I mean, I left before you even started school, and now you've graduated! I've got a lot to catch up on. For one thing..." She looks at who she believes is Soul. "Him."

"But then she notices that there are two boys, looking strikingly similar, over in that direction, both of them talking to eachother. She turns back to Maka. "Uhh, is it Spiky Teeth or the tall one that you like?"

"It's Spiky Teeth."

"Well then..." Kami casually walks over to Soul and gets "up in his grill". Soul is taken aback by her, because she looks a lot like Maka. Her eyes are the exact same color as Maka's, but her hair is a chocolate brown. Still tied in pigtails though. She stares him down for awhile until she gets a huge grin on her face.

"So, your the one who stole my daughter's heart, huh?" She says while ruffling his hair. This sort of ticks Soul off, considering he likes his hair in a certain style, so he lets out a growl at her.

"Ooo scary! How'd you tame this one, Maka? Hahaha!"

He growls even more at this, until he realizes who it is that's bugging him. "Your Maka's mother aren't you?"

"Yup, the one and only!" She said with glee.

"Uh, Soul? Who's... that?" Maka questions.

"Oh, uh, ya... this is my brother... Wes..." He said quite reluctantly. "He came to see my graduation just like your mom."

Wes was smiling at everyone while they all said their hellos. "So this is the fabled brother of Soul..." Maka says, getting closer to him. "I've only heard bits and pieces about you." She held out her hand.

"And I've heard nothing of you, unfortunately. Soul and I, ah, well, let's just say he doesn't keep the family informed." He says sheepishly.

The group exchanges pleasantries like this until it gets late, and a yawn goes through the rounds.

"Well, I think it's time for me to head home, I'm pretty tired. Jet lag and all that y'know?" Kami says through a yawn. "Oh! And Maka! If you ever want to come and talk to me, this is where I'm staying." She hands her a slip of paper with an address. She turns to Spirit, resuming her glare. She hands him one. "I'll be expecting you. We have some things we need to discuss." Spirit nodded.

Wes and Spirit dispersed after Kami, leaving Soul and Maka standing there alone.

"Well Soul, you ready to go home too?"

"Yes." Soul said immediately, remembering her promise to him.

"Oh, and Maka?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you want to, ah, go out tomorrow?"

Maka giggled a little at his nervousness. "Of course!"

Soul cheered and picked Maka up by wrapping his arms arround her waist, kissing her under the moonlight
