Maka and Soul make their way to Kid's house. About half way there an extremely loud voice greets them from their left. "HEY GUYS!" They turn to see Black*Star and Tsubaki waiting for them. "Hey guys! Black*Star stop shouting!" Tsubaki says putting her hand on her partners shoulder. Maka and Tsubaki walk a little behind the boys. "So?" Tsubaki asks. Maka looks at her expecting more. When it doesn't come she tries to fill the blanks herself. "Ok if it's about Soul? No he has not. And I don't expect him to! Soul said so himself ages ago. And anyway why would he date me?" She looks at her feet slightly depressed. Tsubaki holds her hand and smiles softly. Back in front Black*Star is half comforting, half annoying Soul. "Dude! You still haven't asked her? What are you playing at? If you don't get there quick someone might take her! Like Kid!" Soul knows he doesn't mean that Kid is in love with Maka but it still stings. "What the hell man? Didn't I just tell you that I have tried asking? Every time I do she just slips away!" Black*Star rolls his eyes and folds his arms. Actually looking serious for once in his life. "Then take her hand look her deep in the eyes and say 'Maka? Will you be my girlfriend?' It's not that hard really!" This time it's Souls turn to roll his eyes. "Oh yeah! How many times has that worked for you? Oh great and all knowing love master?" Black*Star bursts out laughing startling the girls behind them. Soul puts his hand over Black*Stars mouth. "Shut it! Come on we're almost there." As he says it, Death Mansion looms over them.

"Hello, thank you for coming! Oh hi guys!" Death The Kid waves at the four of them. Behind him stands his two weapons, Liz and Patty Thompson. The sisters transform into twin pistols. Making Kid as symmetrical as he can get, except for the three white lines in his hair, which satisfies his OCD. They're completely different I the human forms, however. "Maka! Tsubaki! How are you?" Calls over Liz. Maka and Tsubaki go to talk to them and leave the boys to themselves. "So Maka? Has Soul asked you out yet?" Liz asks looking expectant. "For gods sake! No he hasn't and I doubt he ever will! This is Soul we're talking about! He's to 'cool' for a girl like me! He said it himself! I've said this over and over again!" Maka folds her arms and glares at her feet. "Wait! Maka and Soul are dating?" Patty, Liz's younger sister, asks making the other three girls face palm. "No Patty they're not. But they should be! You know it Maka!" Liz explains taking her sisters' shoulder. Maka groans making the others laugh. She can't help cracking a little smile.

A couple of metres away, Soul and Black*Star are informing Kid about the formers predicament. "So: You're in love with Maka. You've tried asking her out twice today already? Both times you failed. After the first attempt you snuck into her room and found a piece of paper with love hearts and your name on it? And now your confused? I think I get it." Kid says analysing the situation. Soul leans against the wall with his hands in his pockets. 'He explained what it took us several minutes in just a few sentences.' Kid sighs and shakes his head. "Soul. I thought you said you didn't like Maka that way?" Soul sighs and puts his head back against the wall. "What I said then and what I say now are two totally different things Kid!" Kid and Black*Star laugh at the look on Souls face. "Come on! Let's go inside I'm getting cold!" They walk over to the girls and take them inside.
