"Hey glad you could make it. Mara...hey Soul..." Rariko stated, looking at Prissa as she stood on his doorstep, her laptop case in her hands, Soul right behind her, looking at a dying rose bush, when he heard his name he looked up and waved slightly. Rariko leaned down to Prissa's ear, "Mara just got home from school, she's gonna flip if she sees him." he whispered.
"I told him to be prepared to be attacked by a ten-year old and he said he could handle it." she whispered back.
"Well alright..." he muttered rubbing the back of his neck as he looked at Soul, "Come on in guys." he added, stepping aside to let the two in.
"Nice place." Soul complimented, his hands shoved in his pockets, as he walked in, looking around.
"Thanks, it's not much, but it keeps us warm and dry." Rariko stated, shutting the door behind them. "Hey Mara, Prissa is here, please, don't attack her guest." Rariko called. A door opened and the sound of 'Back In Time' was heard.
"Hey Priss..." Mara started, looking up from her iPad and staring wide-eyed at Soul.
"Is there something on my face?" Soul asked, looking at Prissa.
"Dude, it is your face." Prissa stated, patting his cheek before following Rariko down the hall and into another bedroom.
"Um, sup, I'm Soul Eater, I'm friends with Prissa." Soul stated walking up to Mara, who just stared at him, then very slowly, she raised her iPad and the shutter sound was heard. "I heard you were a fan of The Scythe's Edge." the girl nodded her head. "How big of a fan?" he asked.
"Biggest..." she whispered opening her door again. 'Back In Time' was once again heard and Soul followed Mara into her room, his jaw almost falling to the floor as he saw how many posters decorated her wall.
"Wow...even in German." he muttered, looking at the poster on her celling that had The Scythe's Edge written in German.
"Wait...You are Soul right? Your not one of Prissa's friend dressed up as Soul are you?" she asked, reaching up and tugging on the back of his hair.
"Ouch." he muttered his head jerking back at the tug.
"Sorry..." she whispered, sitting on her bed.
"No problem, I actually get it a lot. So, your name is Mara? Correct? Prissa showed me a picture of your plush doll, may I see it in person?" he asked, sitting beside her, next to the foot of the bed.
"Yeah, my name is Mara..." she whispered, picking up the deformed plush and handing it to Soul.
"This is pretty cool, would you mind if I signed it?" he asked, pulling a Sharpie from his back pocket, Mara shook her head and Soul turned the plush over and signed the back of the orange cloth that he assumed was supposed to be his jacket.
"Thank you so much Soul, may I have a hug?" she asked.
"Sure Mara." he chuckled leaning towards her, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
"Hey Soul-awe..." Prissa cooed from the door as she looked at the two. She took her phone out and took a picture, yelping and shutting the door as Soul threw a pillow at the door.
"I need to ask her to send me a copy of that." Mara whispered. Soul chuckled and got up off the bed, walking over to the dresser and picking up a CD case.
"Wow, you even have the first album..." he whispered sitting on the floor, the rest of the CDs around him, he laid back and read the back of the cases as Mara got up and sat next to him.
"I have every album and have them on my iPad too." she chuckled. Soul sat up as he heard singing.
"Is...is that Prissa?"
"Nope, that right there is my brother..." she waited for a second before a female voice came out, "There is Prissa, she uses my brother's room to sing her songs since she hasn't gotten quite enough money to get a recording studio in her apartment yey." Mara explained, laying on her back beside Soul.
"Huh, I've only heard Prissa sing her songs...I never thought she would have a duet with someone..." Soul muttered, then grinned as an idea popped into his head.
"She doesn't normally, I guess since Rariko wrote it, she wanted him to sing it and her to the chorus." Mara shrugged.
"Do you mind if I go listen?" Soul asked sitting up.
"I don't mind at all, But Prissa gets pretty pissed if someone interrupts a recording session. Just a warning." Mara chuckled, watching him as he stood.
"I'll keep that in mind, it was nice to meet you Mara." Soul stated, opening the door and walking across the hall. He pressed his ear against the door and smiled as he heard a beat that definitely sounded like Prissa's mixes. He heard Rariko singing and chuckles, feeling slightly jealous. He heard the song stop and lightly rapped on the door.
"What do you want Mara?" Rariko asked through the door.
"Big brother can I run away with Soul?" he asked in the highest octave he could do with out his voice cracking. Mara came out of her room and looked at him with an eye brow raised.
"Really?" she muttered, obviously debating whether or not to throw a pillow at his head.
"What?" he asked, earning a pillow to the face. Mara disappeared back into her room and chuckled.
"What do you want Soul?" Prissa called muffled by the door. He opened the door and looked around the room. His room had almost a complete recording studio, complete with two mics with the circle covers, Beats headphones and a hundred wires to connected the scarlet laptop to it.
"That was a nice song" he chuckled leaning on the door frame. He gave them a grin at their positions. Prissa's head was resting on Rariko's chest, her flash drive twirling in her fingers. Rariko's arm was draped across her stomach the other was playing with her short hair.
"We're just taking a break before doing another song." Prissa explained, then muttered something as Rariko started scratching her head. She whined and pushed his hand away, only getting a grin from him.
"You know you like getting your head scratched, your just like a cat." Rariko chuckled.
"No...Stop it~ Soul is gonna use it against me now~" she whined using both her hands to push away his.
"Aw come on princess, you really think I would do that?" Soul asked. Prissa and Rariko looked at each other before looking back at him.
"Yeah." they stated at the same time then resumed their push away war.
"Aw-" his come back was cut off by his phone ringing, he opened the phone and stepped out into the hallway and down into the kitchen as he answered it.
"Come on, lets do another song before he drags me off." she sighed, sitting up and letting Rariko sit.
"Kay, you bring it up and I'll start it when you want it." Rariko stated scooting back against the wall. Prissa nodded as she took her laptop and clicked a few times then handed the scarlet laptop to Rariko.
With Soul
"Yo dude, where are you?" Black Star's voice asked through the phone.
"I followed Prissa over to Rariko's place and I was hanging out with his little sister while she recorded some songs with him. Why? What's up?"
"It's 5:00 dude, we're getting ready now to go to the club, we're going at seven with or without you." Black Star stated.
""Alright, let me round-up Prissa and lover boy and head over. Liz and Patty are on outfit duty with the girls, including Prissa." he stated then hung up and walked back down the hall. He waited until he heard no music and knocked on the door.
"What?"
"Come on, Liz and Patty need to get you dressed for tonight." Soul stated through the door.
"Soul! I said no to the offer of them getting me ready!" she screamed, making Soul back up from the door.
"Come on princess drama queen." he chuckled.
"Ugh! Soul you..." she couldn't say any colorful language with a ten-year old down the hall, "You butt face!" she hollered.
"What's the occasion?" Rariko asked.
"The band want to go to some club that's out of the way, Soul wants me to go." she grumbled, the zip of her laptop case was heard as well as the shuffling of them standing up.
"What club?"
"Beats From Hell (A/N When The Smoke Clears reference!)." Soul answered. The door flew open and before Rariko could stop her, Prissa pushed Soul up against the wall. Mara's door opened and Rariko shook his head and she disappeared once more.
"Soul that's in the worst part of the city! There are more rapes and shooting there than the whole city combined. Don't go Soul." she pleaded, her eyes filled with worry.
"It's the only place with no paparazzi. And don't worry princess, I'll protect you." he chuckled.
"It's not me I'm worried about..." she whispered, then let him go and took her laptop from Rariko, "I'll go, but only to watch out for you. You have no idea how bad that part of town is." she stated then walked out of the house.
"Mara, tell mom I'll be out for the night, lock the door and don't answer the door to anyone. Ok?" Rariko stated, knocking on the girl's door.
"Mk." she called, then opened the door and leapt into Soul's arms. He yelped in surprise and stumbled back slightly.
"Mara, what did I say...?" Rariko muttered, prying the ten-year old off the lead singer.
"Sorry Soul." Mara whispered, looking ashamed.
"I'm used to it." he chuckled patting her head as Rariko set her down.
"It was nice to meet you." she stated, then disappeared into her room and shutting the door. Rariko waited until Soul was out of the house before shutting and locking the door. He got on the back of Prissa's bike and she got on in front of him and Soul got on his own bike and followed Prissa out. They returned to the apartment and as soon as they got there Prissa was gagged by a cloth and dragged inside Prissa's bedroom by the thompson sisters. Leaving a snickering Soul and A very confused Rariko
"Hey no! Those are my jeans! No! You keep that knife-nevermind..." they heard Prissa shout and squeak as shuffling was heard. Kid and Black Star walked into the kitchen and smiled to Rariko.
"Just the girls getting Prissa ready, knowing her, she would probaly worn just jeans and a t-shirt." Kid chuckled.
"Hold your noses boys, shes coming out!" Liz called, walking out of the room, followed by Maka, Tsubaki, Patty and finally Prissa. Maka, Tsubaki and Patty had mid-thigh skirts with tight off the shoulder shirts that showed their stomach , Maka in a soft green, Patty in a pink, and Tsubaki in a dark blue. Liz was in skin tight skinny jeans and a sequened soft blue top. Prissa wore a tight scarlet shirt with the words 'Bite Me' across the bust, and a halfskirt made of unmeasured denim strips and skinny jeans, on her feet she wore the spiked heels that Rariko had given her. Black Star, Soul and Rariko all fell over backwards with nosebleeds.
"Perverts..." Prissa muttered, crossing her arms over her chest, her head turned to the side.
"Come on you guys, it's 6:30, we better go." Kid stated.
"Listen to me you guys, this place isn't like the clubs that your used to. This is the meeting place for dangerous gangs and the worst people. Please listen to me and don't go." Prissa begged, looking at Kid.
"We'll be alright, We've handled stuff like that before." Soul stated, sitting up.
"This is worse than what you've faced before, thats what I'm trying to say!" Prissa insisted.
"Ha! They're nothing compared to a big man like me!" Black Star gloated, blood dripping from his nose as he stood on her counter.
"Get off my counter." Prissa growled, looking at Maka.
"Maka...Chop!" she shouted, throwing a book, that appeared out of no where, at his face.
"Thank you." Prissa stated, bowing her head to her as Black Star fell onto the floor.
"No problem." she giggled, since Prissa threatened to strangle the boys with their innards Maka was nicer to Prissa even though she didn't talk to her very much.
"Lets go you guys." Kid stated already out the door.
"I'm taking my bike." Soul called.
"I'm taking mine." Prissa took her heels off and put on some flats and grabbed her keys, "I'll put them back on when we get there." she stated to the angry faced Patty as she walked out the door after Kid.
"I'm going on Prissa's bike." Rariko called, following Prissa. The rest of the band followed them and piled into the truck after kid unhooked the trailer and left it in the parking spot then everyone got on their designated vehicles and drove away. Prissa bit her lip, knowing something bad was going to happen.
