AN: Well firstly, I do not own Soul Eater. Good! Now that we have that out of the way, Sup people who don't exist, but whom I imagine actually reads my fic? I'm pretty excited since Kylemcg (the original writer of the Darkstar part of the fic) is coming back from the university this weekend. Gonna be awesome to see him again. Apart from that, I'd just like to thank CrossoverLover2013 for favouriting the fic... even though it's not a crossover. But before I ramble anymore, Enjoy!

"We did it! We did it!" Victoria cheered with joy as they perfected the last move on the list. "We didn't even have to pull an all nighter." Kyle added relieved. "Speaking of which, it's getting pretty late... listen, my parents aren't exactly around at the moment and it gets pretty boring when alone at home. So I decided that you're sleeping over so we can go to school together." Victoria said, not giving Kyle a choice in the matter.

"Yeah there is no way my parents would allow this." Kyle said, looking a little disappointed. "No worries, I already arranged with them." Victoria said. "How did you manage to convince them?" Kyle asked dumbfounded. "It wasn't that hard, actually I asked your dad this morning before we went jogging. He was like 'sure, have fun' with this creepy smile." Victoria said while thinking back.

Kyle had a mini heart attack but quickly recovered after he saw that she didn't comprehend what his father implied. "Well the shower is down the hall to the right while your room is to the left." Victoria said after she basically dragged Kyle down the hall after handing him a towel and some of his clothes that he couldn't remember bringing.

"Wait, why do you have-" Kyle started, but didn't get the chance to finish the question before Victoria answered "Your mom came storming at me with a bag of clothes almost milliseconds after your dad said yes. She didn't say much though." She said. "Ah, good 'ol mom." Kyle sighed.

Victoria fell quiet for a short while and just gave an absent "yeah" in acknowledgement to what he said. "Hey, you okay?" Kyle asked, worried that he said something wrong. She seemed to snap out of it and her warm smile took place on her face once more. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Now hurry and don't use all the warm water. Also, we're gonna watch a movie before bed." she told him. Kyle did as he was ordered and finished quickly. Victoria took nearly four times as long to finish, so Kyle made popcorn for them while he waited.

Kyle was watching the hunger games for the first time and couldn't take his eyes off of the screen. When the movie was over, he saw that Victoria had fallen asleep. Kyle smiled at his sleeping weapon and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her to her bedroom.

As he finished tucking her in, she mumbled a sleepy "thank you" to Kyle. "Comfy?" Kyle asked. Victoria just nodded. Kyle took this as his cue to leave and started making his way for the door when he felt a tug at his shirt. "Just wait a second." She mumbled, still in that sleepy tone. Kyle looked at her "what's up? You okay?" he asked. "I'm fine, I just wanted to say we should try our best tomorrow." She yawned. Kyle smiled at his semi-asleep weapon "Sure thing. May the odds be ever in our favour. Sweet dreams, Victoria." He answered as he turned to make his way towards his room. As he reached the doorway, he turned to take one last look at his weapon. What he saw on her sleeping face was a look of pure innocence, which added to her cute factor. "Well I can officially call myself the luckiest meister on the planet." Kyle said to himself as he climbed into his bed.


"So today is the day. Benjamin, are you feeling nervous?" Neil asked, being the talkative one for a change. "No, not really." Benjamin answered in-between bites from his third bowl of porridge for the morning. "Well if you're not nervous, you certainly are hungry." Thomas said, looking up from some comic book he found in the attic.

"I'm glad to see you're still with us, Thomas." Benjamin remarked. "I judged a book by its cover. This comic is boring." Thomas said. Before Benjamin or Neil could stop him, he tore up the first ever issue of Superman. Benjamin and Neil just face faulted while Thomas still had no idea what he did. "Did I just screw up?" he asked. "You just tore up a 76 year old comic book. The fact that it was in pristine condition, meant that we could have made a small fortune off of it if we sold it to the right buyer." Benjamin answered.

Thomas freaked out and started trying to piece the comic together. "What have I done!?" Thomas yelled. "Well, like we just told you, you tore up a comic more than 70 years old." Neil answered as he watched Thomas search for more pieces of the comic on the ground. "I WAS BEING RHETORICAL!" Thomas shouted at his laughing twin.

Benjamin was on the floor, crying from laughter. "I can't... I can't... I just can't." He gasped between the laughter, struggling to speak or breathe. Thomas, meanwhile moved to a corner and cried into the remains of the comic. "Why...?" he sobbed as the other two started to calm down.

"It's okay, Thomas. I hear if we make top 3 in the class, there is a special prize given to us by the academy." Benjamin said as he tried to cheer him up. "Yeah, let's go to the academy and get that prize already." Neil said while leading Thomas towards the door. "You two go ahead. I think I'm gonna wear my jacket today, it's still in my room though." Benjamin called after them as they went outside. Neil just replied with a quick "okay" as they reached the sidewalk.

Benjamin went back to the room and quickly threw on his favourite jacket but instead of going towards the door, he went for his bed. Benjamin lifted up his mattress to reveal a picture of a young couple holding a laughing black haired boy of two. Benjamin's eyes started welling up in tears as he put the photo back. "I will make you proud, mom and dad, I will find it." He said before dropping the mattress back in place.

"Hey Benjamin, hurry up! Thomas is finally starting to cheer up." Neil called from outside. Benjamin instantly smiled again as he left to join his weapons on the sidewalk. "Today we kick ass." He said, sticking his hands in his jacket pockets and calmly making his way towards the academy, a weapon on either side of him. "Agreed." The twins said in unison.


Keira, your father and I had to leave early to prepare the coliseum for the trials today. I'm sure that you'll be on time since we don't live that far away from the academy. It's gonna be a long day so be sure to pack food for you and Alex. Good luck dear!

-Mom

Keira put down the letter and decided to have some breakfast while waiting for Alex. She was still busy with her toast and eggs when Alex had burst into the house without bothering to knock. There was a yelp followed by a thud and eggs flying in every direction as Keira fell out of her chair. "You are just too easy to scare." Alex said as he watched his snowy haired meister get up and dust herself off.

"It's because you're so freaking loud." Keira retorted irately. "Pffffft. Whatever. Finish what's left of your breakfast so we can get going." Alex said, handing Keira her plate with almost nothing left on it. "It's okay, I'm full anyway. Just help me clean up this mess." Keira said, grabbing a mop. Alex acted as if he didn't hear the request and started a conversation instead. "So how do you think the trials will go?" he asked.

Keira had already finished cleaning and started packing away by the time she replied with a short "beats me". Alex was still wondering how she managed to clean up so fast when Keira started dragging him towards the door. "C'mon, we don't wanna be late, not today." She rushed

They started making their way toward the academy when snow started falling. "It's the end of winter and it's still snowing... Gees, this is a pain." Alex said as he pulled his rarely worn coat tighter around him. Keira calmly looked up at the snow falling from the sky and shrugged nonchalantly while starting to walk at a slightly faster pace. "We could see it as a sign of good luck, you know, white snow matches the white hair." She said as she pointed at her hair.

"HOLY COW! You're right!" Alex exclaimed. "Although you could also be a Christmas decoration with the red and green eyes." He joked. The statement was rewarded with a snowball to the face. Keira stood angrily in front of Alex, who was wiping snow from his face. "It would've been a dictionary, but I need you today." Keira huffed before turning around and continuing towards the academy.

"Lucky me." Alex said as he caught up with the almost jogging Keira. "Wanna Race the last bit?" Keira asked after the academy with a structure similar to the one in death city came into view. "Bring it." Alex said as the two of them started sprinting towards the academy. Alex was making sure his meister kept up with him when he noticed Benjamin and the Hawk twins to their left and Kyle and Victoria to their right. It had somehow turned into a race between the three teams.

The seven of them basically dived for the doors but ended up in a heap in the hallway. They all started laughing, receiving a few strange stares from the other students. Benjamin was the first to get up and started to help the others up. "Thanks for the race, good luck today." He told them as he started walking away in his own direction. "GAME ON, PRETTY BOY." Alex called after him as he and Keira started taking a different route. "Don't think it's gonna be an easy fight! You hear me?" Victoria called as she and Kyle went the way the other two teams hadn't chosen. She turned to Kyle with a serious look on her face. "These guys mean business." She said.


DWMA teacher profile:

Name: Justin Law

*Teacher

More Details: Due to excessive use of his earphones, Justin is now effectively deaf and has to use a hearing aid. Justin helps out where he is needed, mostly with discipline. Since Justin became a Death scythe at a very young age he is the perfect role model for Soul. Soul doesn't seem to like him though. I wonder wh- HE READ MY NOTES! I should have paged back sooner! Soul, you have some explaining to do later tonight and don't even think about acting like you haven't read this. I know you have...

Soul's side note: Shit! This is so not cool! Well it would seem like this is my last side note. My only parting wish is that my lovely wife will read this and know that I love her. Soul out.


AN: This is the part where I'm an ass and go back to Darkstar next week. The fight chapter (which I think is pretty damn epic if I do say so myself) will be posted the week after that. That's about when things get going in Call of the crow. So yeah, look forward to longer chapters and until then, PLEASE review. The Republican out!
