Soul was waiting oh-so-uncooly in his home while two men fixed his door. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed in an angry fashion. Why are they even here, I never called for anyone to fix the door yet! He thought to himself bitterly.

"Are you guys almost done yet?" He asked the two working men, trying not to sound harsh.

One of them nodded, then went back to work. The other stopped to talk to Soul. "Yeah, another ten minutes or so and we'll be finished. Why, you got a date or somethin'?" He teased.

"Yes, in fact, I do." A date to find Maka before she gets herself hurt, that is...

The man's eyes widened, then went back to work.


Crona led Black Star into his house, er, apartment. The blue haired meister crashed on his couch, almost ontop of Maka. But she moved out of the way at the last moment.

Ragnarok, seeing this, popped out of Crona's back, his head large and angry. "Hey, watch out for her! How'd you like to be sat on?!"

Black Star blinked. Looked at Maka. Then blinked again. "Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there."

Maka looked back at him, glaring. You saw me like, four hours ago, baka! Why can't you be smart enough to see that I'm the cat from my- and Soul's- apartment!? She wanted to hiss at him, if she could talk, that is. Instead she just sat there and glared.

"...Crona, I think your cat doesn't like me." The meister boy informed the pink haired boy, now looking at him.

Crona shook his head, "She's not ours, yet. We found her in an ally earlier, along with a grey tom." As if on cue, Jake walked into the room.

Black Star nodded, smirking. "You know, Soul lost his cat today... Maybe you should give one of these guys to him, so he'll cheer up. He's been... Different since Maka left a few weeks back."

Ragnarok was the first to speak this time, interrupting whatever it was Crona was going to say. "Why should we? If his cat ran away, it must mean he's a bad owner! Snuggles and Ragnarok Jr. would much rather be here!" (Snuggles is Maka, Ragnarok Jr. is Jake)

"Snuggles?" Both boys questioned at the same time. Ragnarok nodded, crossing his little arms over his chest.

Black Star shrugged, picking 'Snuggles' up and petting her. "Whatever, but I'm sure he'd like to see this."


Kim and Jackie were riding over the city looking for 'a soul similar to Maka's', whatever that meant. They had been flying around using their new move for almost an hour. They were getting nowhere, too.

"Hey, do you think something happened to Maka, so that she's a cat, and that's why Soul's so worried about his cat?" Jackie asked, sounding a bit bored.

"What? No, that's silly. Lord Death gave the cat to Soul and Maka, remember? Maka's just away on a mission." Kim said in return, and Jackie laughed.

"Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking, just forget it."
