~Special Mission Project~
Jolted awake by the sudden movement of her partner moving away, her eyes fluttered open with a look of anxiety as she tried to figure out what was going on. The blizzard seemed to have died down and Death City was covered with snow, looking almost like a magical ice kingdom.
"What happened?" Maka asked, rubbing her head in confusion as she squinted her eyes through the dark. The room was barely lit, their only source of light was the fire that was fighting a losing battle and slowly flickering away and the mirror that seemed to have a blue sky and white clouds in the background. Her friends were gathered around it as she scampered to her feet to join them, knowing it could only be Lord Death.
"So you're finally awake huh, sleepyhead." Liz sniggered as she recalled the confession that failed miserably due to the fact that she had fallen asleep. She looked quizzically at Soul who seemed to be beet red (which is almost impossible due to his tan) and avoiding all eye contact with her.
She wanted to gaze into his crimson eyes to make sure everything was under control and there was no big threat that was happening; for the first time Maka Albarn wanted something.
"Let's quickly get into the portal and see what honorable father wants." Kid grins, trying to ease up the tension that was building in the room.
"Sure," The ash-blonde meister fakes a smile, pretending that everything was okay when it really wasn't especially when she didn't know what happened. It seemed more awkward than the nickname incident.
A few minutes later~
"Wassup Wassup! Merry Christmas! I have a special mission for you," Lord Death cheered as he bounced up and down.
"You already said it was Christmas and we have to do a mission?" Liz quirked her eyebrow.
"It's a special one with benefits." Lord Death said slyly and right on the cue, Spirit and Stein came out, holding boxes that looked like it weighed a ton. After a few trips, two boxes were placed in front of them and it was almost at Maka's height which was kind of an insult to her as she had grown over the years.
"I've decided to play Santa Claus this year and in those boxes, you'll find a ski, sledge and skateboard which has no wheels that you can use for means of transport."
"Why would we need them?" Tsubaki asked in her gentle tone, curious.
"Well, you need to deliver presents so since Death City IS covered with snow, that's how you are going to travel. No flying." Lord Death says strictly as he stared at Kid and Maka, whose face looked completely down cast.
"It feels like we are running errands." Soul muttered.
"There will be rewards of course." Lord Death chuckled, rubbing his hands together as if he was plotting something evil.
"Alright your god is in." Black*Star declared. His friends smiled warily at him, knowing that he would never step down from a challenge that would win him something. "Shall we compete who finish delivering their presents first?"
"You're on bro." Soul grinned as he gave him a brofist.
"We can't back out once they decide on it can we?" Liz said in frustration.
"Well let's get changed." Tsubaki giggled, tossing all of them their winter suits.
Maka heaved a sigh of relief that the Santa costume she had this time was less revealing than the previous but it was obviously altered since the material was thicker and warmer. Hers was a simple collared blouse with white fluffy buttons. Along with a small red skirt with fluff at the hem, black tights with combat boots, red santa hat, white gloves and pink ear muffs, she was ready to go.
Liz and Patty were dressed similarly but Patty was in orange and Liz in purple. Kid looking dashing in a blank santa suit and black boots with Soul dressing in a similar fashion but in a lighter orange than Patty with an orange santa hat.
Tsubaki was slightly different with a long sleeves yellow santa dress and knee high socks and a simple pair of boots.
Black*Star's was slightly different as he had no sleeves and green did not really seem to fit him. He unbuttoned a few buttons at the bottom of the shirt and with green boots, he was good.
"Spirit-kun and Stein-kun will be checking on your process and you can team up or whatever, just get the job done." Lord Death said, his head bobbing back and forth.
Maka and Kid were already confident they were going to win, having experience with some form of transport. Soul would love to use his motorcycle but he would probably get it trashed before a delivered a single one and you'll see him in the hospital.
"Tsubaki team up with your god." Black*Star said as he slung his arm carelessly around her shoulder but he seemed stupid enough not to see the blush that was creeping up her cheeks.
"Sorry Black*Star, I'm going to solo." Tsubaki said as she held up her skiis.
"I'll go with you." Soul grinned, their bromance sparkling in their eyes. (A/N: Dafuq lol)
"Well we've got it settled, the addresses are on the boxes, let's go!" Maka cheered as she hoisted her red sack over her shoulders and held her skateboard with ease.
Lord Death opened a portal that led to the front of DWMA, signalling for them to go. Kid and Maka took the lead, the moment they jumped into the portal they were on their skateboards, grinning happily as Tsubaki followed suit, her sack was like a backpack as she got on her skiis. Liz and Patty went together on a sledge alog with Soul and Black*Star.
"So how shall we travel, Stein?" Spirit asked.
"Senpai." The grey-haired man droned, kicking him into the portal as he stepped onto him in the snow, rolling him back and forth such that he was a huge snowball and only head was protruding out.
Skidding to a stop in front of their designated houses, they quickly got into the chimneys and put the presents under the christmas trees and quickly got out but Black*Star wasn't so lucky as the mother was awake and he got busted, shoes and brooms were thrown at him as he tried to escape and it stirred a ruckus in the entire house.
"I'll be presuming that was Black*Star." Maka muttered as she continued to skate down the narrow slopes, finding Sol just to be a building away. Her soul unconsciously reached out for him; which made him smile a little as he felt it, only to jerk away as an electric shot through him, trying to find his meister before a loud bang filled the air.
"Maka!" He shouted as he swerved the sledge board to the side, only to find Spirit and Maka crashed to the side, with Stein standing there just calmly smoking his cigarette. (What were you guys thinking...)
"They'll be fine once I shock my wavelength into them." Stein commented.
"You can do that to the redhead but I'm going to get Maka to wake up in a better way."
"Have it your way." Stein sighed, not really happy that he had to give his specimen away.
A few hours later~
"Well none of you completed your missions before dusk but good job!" Lord Death said cheerfully, trying to hide his disappointment.
It didn't go as well as he expected, Soul and Maka were the first to drop out as Maka was unconscious and Soul had to take care of her, Liz stopped as the wind mussed up her hair and Patty was too busy obsessing over giraffes, Kid fainted from the asymmetrical presents, Black*Star got into too much trouble and Tsubaki was trying to get Kid out of the cold.
Well at least they got something done. He mused, before releasing them back to Kid's mansion.
Well we are at the end! Please leave a review for me and hit the fav and follow button if you haven't alright?
