I finally found a way to update! What I do is I write all the chapters on my iPod and email them to myself so I can copy and paste to a word document. But my iPod broke and I haven't been able to access my email through my iPod, so the chapters were literally trapped there ;'( but fear not, I have found a way to update! I copy and paste the chapters onto a 'discussion post' on my blog from my iPod, then copy and paste that from my computer onto a word document. It's not the perfect solution because none of the spaces between lines register-it's all one big mess-so I have to go through the whole thing and hit 'enter' where there should be a space between lines. Long process, and I'm sure you didn't want to read all this crap about my excuses. So go ahead and read! (And don't forget to review ;)

Strawberry shortcakes are delicious and fun to make.

Chapter Thirteen: M

Make

"Hmmm..."

*snore*

"Hmmmmm..."

*long snore*

"Hmm...Oi Soul, wake up!"

*bang*

"Ow what was that for?!"

"I need help deciding what to make for breakfast."

"..."

"Soul?"

*snore

"Gosh, Soul. What am I going to do with you?"

"Make me some pancakes, that's what!"

"Go back to sleep Soul; you're not helping!"

"Whatever. I guess I'll just roll around in bed, doing nothing, and I'll be so bored that I might just-"

"Fine, pancakes!"

"You're the coolest!

"Yeah, I better be."

"..."

"Soul?"

*snore*

Matter(1)

"All things are made of matter."

"Even things like you and me?"

"Yes, Soul. Even you and me."

"So that means we matter.

"Well of course we matter, but that's not why it's called 'matter'. That is a different matter entirely."

"Eh? A different matter? So there are two types of matter?"

"What? No! There's only one! Well of course there's antimatter but-"

"Maka this is too confusing! I give up on science!"

"You know what, Soul? We do matter. And you know what else matters? You studying properly! Which clearly doesn't matter to you-hey why'd you pass out?"

Maul

"Look a mall!"

"A maul? Somebody's getting mauled?! Where? We have to go help!"

"No, Maka, a mall! You walk around in it!"

"Soul are you having a delusion? 'Cuz I'm pretty sure we're not walking around in the middle of a bloody maul."

"Maka! I mean a shopping mall! Right over there! It must be new."

"...oh. Well you never know...there could be a maul inside of the mall! Let's check it out!"

Meet

"Let's have a meet for dinner."

"You're going to cook chicken, Maka? That's great."

"No, not 'meet' like chicken meat!"

"So...lamb chops?"

"Not like that, either! A meet with our friends!"

"You plan to cook our friends?! What are you, a kishin?"

"No I'm not going to cook our friends; are you crazy?! We are going to meet with our friends for dinner."

"Ohhhh. I got it."

"Sure took you a while."

"But...you're still going to cook meat, right?"

"Soul you're such a carnivore."

"Hey at least I eat my vegetables, Ms. I'm-too-good-for carrots!"

"My vision is fine as it is! I don't need carrots!"

"Just watch. One day, you'll see that you can't see. And I'll be there to say 'I told you s-"

"I don't have to cook meat, you know."

"Fine! You don't need carrots! Happy?"

"Very."

Million

"Maka if you won a million dollars, how would you spend it?"

"By opening up my own library."

"Of course. Boring, boobless, bookworm Maka"

"Maka-Chop! Shut it, Soul!"

"Ow..." "What about you?"

"What?"

"If you had a million dollars, what would you buy?"

"I don't really need a million dollars."

"Oh. Right. Being an Evans and all."

"That's not it. I just don't really want anything too badly."

"Really? Then what would you do with it."

"Buy a new bike. Or probably give it to charity or something. Maybe even help you build a library."

"Are you saying I'm a charity case?!"

"Not at all! I'm just saying that you'd probably be better off with the money than me. You'd use it for a better cause."

"So...if you don't want anything that you can buy, then what do you want."

*whisper*

"What? Could you say that a bit louder, please?"

"It's nothing. Forget it."

"Soul, you're my partner. You can tell me anything."

"I said it's nothing."

"Soul..."

"You!"

Mint

"Look here, Soul. It's a recipe for a mint-and-strawberry shortcake."

"Mint and strawberry. That's a cool combination."

"They make a good team."

"Kind of like us."

"Yeah. You're mint and I'm strawberry (A/N: *facepalm*)!"

"Maka...wouldn't it make more sense if you're mint and I'm strawberry?"

"Why is that?"

"Well you have green eyes and I have red eyes."

"Oh. I think my way is better…but yours works, too."

"Sigh. Stubborn as always."

"But that's why you love me!"

"Right-hey wait what?!"

Mist(2)

"Soul! Soul! Soooouuuuul!"

"Maka! Where are you Maka?"

"Soul I'm over here!"

"Maka. I've got you, Maka. Don't worry."

"Thank you, Soul, for being there for me."

"Of course Maka. You know I'll always find you in the fog."

"Soul..."

"Yeah Maka?"

"It's mist. We're in mist, not fog."

"Does that really matter?! You're ruining the moment!"

Monkey

"You're like a dog!"

"Eh?! That's not cool! How so, Maka?"

"You forget everything after some time!"

"Well then you're a parrot."

"How?"

"You keep repeating things over and over."

"That's only because you dong listen to me the first time!"

"You're also like a cat."

"Soul..."

"You're nice one moment and then the next you're ready to scratch and bite. Or in your case, give me a-"

"Maka-Chop!"

"See what I mean!"

"Soul, you're also a rat. You need to start actually studying instead of trying-and failing-cheating on tests!"

*whack*

"You two. Soul and Maka. Come down here."

*gulp*

"Yes, Professor Stein."

"Now. Because you two won't stop bickering, you're disrupting my class, and you need to work on your partnership, I'm sticking you guys in this training room. If you two haven't stopped arguing by the time I get back, then I'm going to give you extra-curricular missions."

*slam*

"He...shut us in here?!"

"Well I guess this means-"

"Oh and one more thing. Maka, Soul, no monkey business."

"Dang!"

"Well...he won't know."

"Yeah, Maka!"

*door cracks open slightly*

"By the way, I have you two under Soul Observation. So like I said-no monkey business!"

"Damn!"

Monster

"Soul...you're such a monster!"

"Maka! I knew it. You don't want to be partners anymore because you've figured out that you put yourself in harm if you continue to be my par-"

"Maka-Chop! Shut up that's not what I meant! I called you a monster...'cuz you won't stop eating so much food! Geez who knew that 'Mr. Cool' is also the Queen of drama..."

Mosquito

"Ugh I hate having mosquito bites!"

"Don't worry Maka. You'll grow in one day."

"LIZ! That's not what I meant! I meant actual mosquito bites that itch!"

"Oh...oops. Uh, eh, gotta go! Bye!"

*sigh*

"Stupid Liz."

"Don't get down, Maka. It's not cool. Liz is right and besides, despite all the jokes I make I like you just the way you are."

"Aw. Thanks Soul."

"No problem."

"Wait...you heard all of that?!"

"Yeah. And even though I like you as you are, it wouldn't hurt for you to grow a little."

"MAKA-CHOP!"

Mud

"Aw great. I got mud on my new jacket."

"Haha is the great and tough Maka Albarn afraid of some harmless mud?"

"You know I'm not scared, Soul. But now I can't use my jacket 'cuz the mud got on the inside as well."

"Of course. Practical as ever. If you want, we can share my jacket-"

"No I'm fine."

"You suuure? It's getting pretty chilly out here-"

"Seriously I'm fine."

"All right then. I guess I'll keep this warm, fuzzy, soft jacke-"

"Don't need it, Soul."

"The fact that you're cutting me off so quickly says that you'd rather I didn't talk about my warm, fuzzy, soft jacket. In turn, that tells me that you want my warm, fuzzy, soft jacket."

"Jeez since when did you get smart?"

"First, I'm slightly offended because I was smart before, too. And second, it's because of you. Those studying sessions have actually helped."

"...you know what? We can share."

"Now where are your manners, Maka?"

*grumble*

"What was that, Maka?"

"I said, may I please share your jacket."

"That's it. Here."

*grumble*

"Sorry, I didn't catch that, Maka."

"I said thanks!"

"You're very welcome."

"You were right."

"Of course I was-wait about what?"

"It is warm, fuzzy, and soft!"

"And me?"

"Well I guess you're not so bad, either."

(1)In this drabble, I pictured Maka wearing glasses and a lab coat while standing next to a chalkboard and holding a pointer. Soul is sitting in front of her with his legs crossed and his head resting on his hand which is on his knee. One of those cartoonishly-cute-and-funny scenes.

(2)This was a bit of sap-crap 'cuz I felt the story was slowly slipping away from SoMa. *makes queasy face* I don't exactly enjoy sap-crap...so I added a bit of humor at the end.

I really hope you didn't find Maka or Soul too OOC :S and I promise I'll update the next chapter as soon as I can!
