Unforgettable

"Why do we have to go to this group date, Tsubaki?" Black Star complained.

"Because Ox and Kim invited us, they've just began to date and they're not used to going on dates by themselves, it would be rude if we didn't go," Tsubaki replied.

"But we're not even dating!"

"I know, but it still could be fun, right? Soul and Maka and a few other couples are going."

"Oh yeah, like who else?"

"I don't know about this," Kid said uneasily to Kim who was talking to him by his locker in Shibusen.

"Please? Jackie really likes you and wants you to go," Kim replied talking about the group date she and Ox were having that night.

Jacqueline O'Latern Dupré.... a nice girl, yet clingy as Kid grew to learn. Her deep infatuation for him was flattering, yet kind of weird. But everyone deserves a chance or two. "Alright," Kid answered, "Tell Jacqueline I will be her date for tonight."

"Oh, thank you, Kid! I know you made Jackie one happy girl!"

He smiled slightly, he was unsure on going on a date with Jackie, but this was his beginning to move on from his feelings for Maka.

"Maka please... group dates are so lame!" Soul whined.

"Stop that," Maka bossed. "You wouldn't know, you've never been on one."

"Dates are just supposed to be the couples' alone time together. That's why dates were invented!"

"How would you know? You've never actually took me on one."

"You never acted like you wanted to go on one!"

"Still, it would be nice if you were spontaneous a bit more..."

"I am spontaneous!"

"Haha sure you are, I've got to get to my class. See you later, Soul," Maka kissed Soul on the cheek and strode off to her next class.

"Not spontaneous... I'm dating you aren't I?" Soul laughed to himself.

Later that evening, Ox and Kim arrived at the restaurant in the downtown of Death City. A nice and leisure but affordable restaurant, which would probably be more of a place where a couple would go alone but Ox and Kim were still a bit awkward and shy around each other.

Ox looked down on his feet thinking of a conversation starter as Kim stood their quietly waiting for the other couples to arrive. "So uh..." Ox began, "do you know who's all coming?"

"Jackie and Kid and Tsubaki and Black for sure is all I know about... do you know anyone else is coming?"

"Kid and Black Star?" Asked out of surprise, "they'd seem the last to go to something like this."

"Well, Tsubaki told me today that she'll be dragging Black Star here whether he likes it or not," Kim chuckled, "and Kid, it took some convincing, but he agreed to come with Jackie. I think they'd make a cute couple."

"Yeah, Soul told me he and Maka would be able make it, although he didn't sound to happy."

"That's probably because Maka made him," Kim laughed.

"Yeah, I'm sure she threatened him some!" Ox laughed along, "So how come you invited Tsubaki and Black Star... aren't they just really good friends?"

"Yeah, but Jackie and I witnessed something at the prom... and I think with a little shove we can get them to hook up."

"Ooh, wait a minute... now I see what this whole group date came from now... and I just thought you were shy..."

"Haha, I see you're on to my master plan. It was really just an opportunity for Jackie to get to know Kid better and to get Tsubaki and Black Star together... they would be really good for each other."

"Yeah.... I guess you're right, they really would."

"Oh, speaking of which... here they are now!"

"Hi Kim, Ox!" Tsubaki called.

"What's up?" Black Star added. "Are we the first ones?"

"Yeah pretty much," Kim replied, "we're just out here waiting for everyone else to arrive."

"So uh, Ox buddy, you've been here before?" Black Star asked.

"Yes I have, it's really good," Ox replied.

Black Star rummaged through his pockets. "Is it really expensive?

Cause I only have so much and I want to be a gentleman and pay for Tsubaki, you know?"

"Oh, that's very...unlike you, Black Star."

"Yeah I know, it's just... she does so much for me and stuff and I never do much to repay her expect acting like an idiot or a goof all the time. I just want her to know I have a responsible side," his gaze shifted nervously, "That's the only reason, nothing else, I hope you know."

Ox chuckled. "Yes, yes I understand. And no, it's not all that expensive."

"Hey guys!" A voice called.

"It's Soul and Maka!" Tsubaki announced.

"What's up everybody?" Asked Soul.

"So, is this everybody?" Black Star asked.

"No, I think Kid and Jackie are still coming," Ox replied.

"Kid... Kid? Wait, you invited Kid?" Black Star looked behind him and luckily neither Soul or Maka had heard him.

"Uh... actually Kim did!"

Black Star turned his attention to Kim. "Why in the hell would you invite Kid in the same place as Maka and jealous boyfriend Soul?"

"I wasn't aware that was a problem."

"Something tells me it's going to be a very interesting night..."

Kid sighed deeply leaning his head against the limo window as he approached Jackie's house. He glanced at his watch. 7:15, he was fifteen minutes late which is very unlike him. But he procrastinated everything he did after school, almost calling Kim to tell him he was feeling sick. Which wouldn't be a lie, he was feeling sick, he had been feeling sick quite a lot lately. But Kid came to realize going out, having fun, and getting his mind off Maka would make him feel better. And who knows? Maybe he'll grow some feelings for this Jackie and forget all about Maka.

But something inside him told him, there was no possibility. There is only one person in the entire universe for him, and that was Maka Albarn. There would be no way he could ever love anyone else or ever stop loving her, his fate was doomed a life of loneliness as it seemed.

He felt the movement of the limo come to a halt as it pulled up the Jackie's house. And Kid didn't even have to go to the door and escort her for as soon as she saw the limo pull up she bolted out her front door.

Jackie was too quick for Kid to preform any gentlemanly acts such as to open the door for her for she had already been inside the limo before Kid had a chance to get out. And he had to admit, she looked very beautiful, but nothing inside of him sparked like it did when he saw Maka dressed beautifully at the prom, or how it sparked every time he had seen her. Dressed up, average, or dressed poorly, she always looked beautiful in his eyes. He sighed.

"Hey Kid," Jackie said trying to contain her giddy. "Are you excited for this? It's going to be a lot of fun!"

"Good evening Jacqueline," Kid greeted.

The rest of the group had made their way into the restaurant while Black Star stood outside, fidgeting with his hands nervously as he kept an eye out for Kid.

"Black Star?" Tsubaki asked behind him. "What are you doing out here? Everyone's inside."

"Oh, I uh... will be in a minute," Black Star replied, then mumbling under his breath, "hopefully."

She tilted her head slightly. "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing..."

Tsubaki walked over to her companion and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. "You can tell me."

Black Star felt his face redden as he felt the touch of her hand. "It's really... not that big of a deal but..." he sighed, "I just was informed that Kid is coming as Jackie's date."

"Oh... Ooh... you mean... since Maka..."

"...And Soul. I could just see a big scene happening between them. And I... I don't know what else to do, I've got to warn him before he finds out the hard way."

Tsubaki smiled slightly. "You're really maturing, Black Star."

"Oh, uh...Thanks."

"What beverage should I order just in case if you're gonna be out here for awhile."

Black Star grinned at his partner. "You know me."

Tsubaki smiled back and nodded. "You wouldn't be the same without a high caffeinated soft drink," she rolled her eyes teasingly.

Ten minutes passed before a limo pulled up in front of the restaurant. Black Star's head perked up in hope that Kid would be in there. He felt his nervousness increase as he noticed it was Kid stepping out of the limo with his date Jackie.

"Kid! Kid!" Black Star shouted.

"Oh, Black Star... What a nice surprise to run into you here," Kid greeted.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Listen... there's something I've got to tell you..."

"I think it's over on this bench," a voice said, "hopefully no one took it."

Maka came running out of the front restaurant doors and found her purse, luckily, untouched on the bench where she had forgotten it.

Kid could feel his heart dropped and his mind go in shock.

"Dammit... Out of all the fifteen minutes, she had to pick now to realize she had left her purse out here?" Black Star thought.

"Oh... Kid... Hi," Maka greeted slowly.

"...Hi," Kid softly spoke.

"So... you eat here often?" Maka asked trying to make conversation and keep away from the awkward moment.

"Not really, I was just invited by Kim and Ox here for their group date."

"What a coincidence, so was Soul and I. So... you have a date?"

"Yep, Jackie's my date."

"Nice to see you again, Maka," said Jackie.

"Hey," Maka greeted, "so... are we all gonna stand out here? Or are we going to join the rest of the crew?"

"Yeah, let's go..." Black Star said nervously leading the small group, he was almost afraid of seeing Kid and Soul together in the same place as Kid was.

This was getting ridiculous. After deciding Kid was going to have a good time and forget about Maka he had to be on the same group date with her and Soul which is an even bigger nightmare. No, nightmare is an understatement, the correct term would be hell.

"Come on, Kiddo!" Jackie said grabbing his arm and pulling him close.

"O...Okay..." Kid replied nervously.

"That's kind of strange, could've Kid gotten over me that fast? And why Jackie?" Maka thought as she watched Jackie getting close to Kid.

As Kid made his way further through the restaurant... He felt his feet grow heavier and heavier. And more and more light headed.
