So this is it my readers. The last chapter. I hope this sums up the story well and it would definitely be possible to write a sequel but not right now. HOWEVER NorthernMage has requested a sort of one shot sequel of her choice and I'll definitely do that soon.
I want to thank you so much for being so awesome with reviewing and even just reading and favouriting/following. It really kept my spirits up.
I just graduated last night... it was pretty boring actually and my last name starts with an A so I was first. Nerve racking as hell that was. Anyway, I didn't want to upload this chapter before I graduated because then I could check accuracy and such, so here it is!
Again thank you for reviewing and as always, happy reading!

-I do not own any part of Soul Eater-
I looked around myself at the auditorium filled with students dressed in black gowns and square hats. I eventually looked behind me and saw my father. It was a big event but it was still rare to see him. He was sitting close to Maka's dad and making small talk it looked like. They laughed and both smiled a sad one and it was easy to tell they were talking about their wives. I looked to my far left and saw Maka. Instantly there was a smile on my face. She was the best, and I loved her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you to the DWMA's 50th annual commencement ceremony for the graduates of 2014." Our principal was soft spoken during events like this, to keep things in order. Everybody clapped and a few cheered. "Now I would like to invite to the stage our 2014 valedictorian."
Maka got up and walked to the stage on noticeably shaky legs until she stood behind the podium. "In your life you think of yourself, we are programmed to think of ourselves, it's just human nature. However it is when you think of someone else whole heartedly that you know you're in love. This year at the DWMA has been absolutely amazing and I'm sure my entire class will agree!" People cheered to prove her point. "Most of you didn't realize I even existed until this year, you can admit it, I didn't even know who I was. This graduating year, I and everyone else have gone through a lot. But what happened is we came together. We were there for each other. Relationships were strengthened and new friendships were formed. It makes me smile just to think back on this year and all of the things that have happened." She took a breath and I saw her getting nervous. We had gone over this speech a thousand times but no matter how much she grew this year, it was still all new to her. "This year I am the valedictorian. Many other people applied but I got it. However, I don't want this to only be my speech, I want it to relate to everyone. All I have to say now is that I want you all to live out your lives as best you can. Don't shut yourself in and don't worry about tomorrow because this last year was tough and you survived it. We all did and that's reason enough to celebrate." Everyone cheered, Blackstar and Soul being the loudest in the crowd. When it died down she continued the last part, "I made so many friends this year that I will never forget. Sometimes I feel like I don't want this year to end. But it must if we want it to move on. So take the challenge and start your new life as the graduating class of 2014! Thank you!" She yelled into the microphone and the entire class cheered and stood. She walked off and took her seat as the second student in the rows of chairs.
The principal said a few words before they began to call up students to get their diplomas. A boy with unruly dark brown hair was called up and as I looked to Maka I could see her tapping her foot and fiddling with the hem of the oversized gown sleeves. She was next, and very nervous.
"Maka Albarn," She stood and I silently complimented her steady walk from her chair to the stage stairs, "Valedictorian, and honour roll student. Maka wishes to move on with her life and share new experiences with the friends that she loves." Maka walked up the stairs with unexpected grace and held her head down for the valedictorian and honour roll medals. She thanked the teacher and went on to grab her pure white rose and diploma wrapped in a red ribbon. She shook all the principals' hands and smiled for the picture that was being taken of her as a graduate.
*I felt the relief that she had even made it to today. Despite waking up when she did, Maka was still very weak. She couldn't even play the games on my phone that required a good reaction time. She stayed for another week after that as doctors and police men bombarded her with questions.*
"Kid Death," My name was called and got up off my chair to walk to the stage, "Honour roll student. Kid wishes to travel around the world and create ever lasting memories with his friends wherever he goes." That wasn't quite what I had written down, they changed it to make it more inspiring I guess. I walked onto the stage and completed the process that Maka had gone through, except I was given a red rose, and then sat back down in my seat. Eventually everyone was called.
"Soul Evans, star basketball player, wishes to pursue a degree in music as he is an amazing piano player. That being said he also wishes to stay in close contact with all his friends."
"Blackstar Hoshizoku, star basketball player, wishes to continue training to be a professional athlete."
"Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, honour roll student, wishes to continue studies through college and into university, to eventually become an early childhood educator."
"Elizabeth Thompson wishes to continue having fun in her life along with her twin sister."
"Patricia Thompson wishes to work at a zoo where she can be close to the animals."
"GIRAFFES!" Patty yelled at the Principal loud enough for the entire auditorium to hear and laugh.
After the ceremony had ended I walked over to Maka and swiftly pulled her into a hug and kissed her. She returned it eagerly and smiled.
"You did it. And your speech was awesome." I said and slung an arm around her.
"We all did it, Kid."
Our moment was cut short by the girls practically ripping off their gowns to show off their dresses hidden underneath. Soul looked at a girl's butt as she walked in front of him and Liz smacked him.
She was wearing a short, strapless, white and black dress, white on the bottom and then black above its empire waist. We had shopped together for that, much to my horror. "Why don't you ever look at me that way?" She asked him and he looked down. From where I was standing I could see the blush on his cheeks.
"B-because, I actually like you. I don't care what you look like." She faced him and smiled with a hint of a blush and then kissed him.
Soul and Liz had gotten together halfway through the year, she had complaints about him, obviously, but everyone knew that she was the only girl for him.
From the corner of my eye I could see Patty in a fluffy pink dress dragging around a poor boy with odd light pink hair that she had taking a liking too, I think his name was Crona.
It was good to have everyone together.
Blackstar had planned to give Tsubaki his rose (a big sort of romantic gesture) but I could practically feel his confidence deflating. If you give your rose to someone and they give theirs back to you, it's sort of like a promise to be together. I let go of Maka temporarily to go 'accidentally' push Blackstar into Tsubaki who was changing from the gown to a pretty, long, white dress with a slit up the side.
Their exchange was sweet and he blushed a lot. Then again, so did she. He had been drooling over her for as long as I can remember, bout time they finally made some progress.
With all the focus I put on them I forgot that I was going to give Maka my rose, even though we were already together, until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around and was met with Maka holding out her rose for me. She had taken off the gown and was now wearing a loosely ruffled high-low purple dress with a high waisted sash. She looked absolutely beautiful.
"W-would you take it?" She said, going back to the shy Maka I had grown to love.
I smiled at her and held out my flower for her in return, "Of course."
Unknown to them both, at the back of the room a woman with short Auburn hair was watching with tears in her eyes before turning and leaving the auditorium.
Review for the last time and I'm going to miss you all so much! I have a Soul Eater amv on youtube now... you guys should check it out... It's mostly SoMa though but it's a really great video even if you don't like them together, I mean there aren't any kissy pictures in it or anything of the sort, it's just because there were so many scenes with them that went with the song. There is way more of just Maka in it though. Also a hint of Tsubaki and Blackstar
