Confetti: *nervously waves* hey guys. I feel like I've been neglecting you all like how I did to Rubert.

Christi: Who is Rubert?

Confetti: exactly, he was a beta fish that I had but died because I didn't give him enough attention. But don't worry im not going to do the same thing. Its just that my parents think that summer vacation means using me as a slave to do a lot of things.

Christi: which means she doesn't get on the computer to write.

Confetti: yeah I have had to use my phone for doing things.

Christi: But enough with that. We have still have to do the disclaimer so if you wouldn't mind…

Sebastian: Confetti does not own Soul Eater because I am just one hell of a butler.

Christi&Confetti: *Fangirl smile*

The Best Bet

Day #3

The next day they all met at the school like usual. Kid walked up the steps with Liz and Patti following behind. But Kid didn't notice because he was deep in thought, thinking about Christi. When they finally made it to the top of the steps, they were greeted by the voices of their friends minus Christi. Noticing this Kid snapped out of his thoughts and looked through the group for the green eyed weapon. With a quick scan of the group he found her, still looking down, and silently standing close to Crona. Kid ignored his friends and walked up to Christi.

"¿Cómo te sientes?" Trans (How are you feeling?) Kid asked Christi. She raised her head to look at Kid.

"Okay." She whispered back.

"Christi no parece no estás actuando como usted." Trans (Christi it doesn't seem like it, you're not acting like yourself) Kid said grabbing Christi's shoulders. Every single one of their friends was watching them with interest.

"Echar," Trans (Look,) Christi started as she raised her head, "Sé que te preocupas por mí, pero usted no necesita preocuparse." Trans (I know that you care about me but you don't need to worry.) Kid looked her in the eye.

Christi gave him a small smile, even though she was making it seem like nothing, he could tell that she wasn't. He could sense it in her soul. But not wanting to make a scene kid just nodded and returned the smile as he let go of her shoulders.

Kid kept a close eye on Christi the whole day. He could tell that she was closing herself away from the outside world. But as the day grew on Christi tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong. During lunch Kid didn't meet with his friends, he went to see his father.

"Hey kid how've you been?" Lord Death asked.

"Fine Father, but I came here because of Christi." Kid said stating the reason up front. Lord Death nodded.

"Oh Kid, bit you do know that most of the information about her is disclosed, you have to go ask her." Lord Death said matter a factly.

"Father, did Stein tell you about her training?" Kid questioned.

"Oh yes, I remember I even felt it myself. She's finally getting there. I told you that Stein was fit for the job." He happily replied.

"Yes she has, but it's what happened during the training that I would like to talk about. When Christi was healing me, both her and myself where in her soul. But the thing about it is that I saw these images of her with a girl. She looked similar to Christi; do you know who it is? Could it be Chrisantha?" Kid said.

Lord Death shrugged. 'Yes I do but as I told you, I can't tell you." Kid nodded.

"Oh I almost forgot, silly me!" Lord Death shouted.

"What is it Father?" Kid said excitedly.

"Christina's birthday is coming up!" He said clasping his hands together. "It in about four weeks."

"Um she never mentioned it to us?" Kid said quietly in thought.

"Oh, well you know what that means right?" lord Death asked his son. Kid thought about it for a second with his hand on his chin.

"No what does that mean?"

"A surprise party!" Lord Death shouted as he threw confetti in the air.

'A surprise party? Um, that could work especially if I gave the planning of it to Liz. She knows how to have parties.' Kid thought to himself as he walked back to lunch.

With Lord Death

Lord Death sighed as his son left the room. Sid walked from behind the mirror from which he was hiding.

"She is going to have to tell them the truth sooner or later." Sid said facing Lord Death. Lord Death looked up to him. The mirror started blinking red.

Lord Death turned around to look at the mirror, Sid closely stood behind him. Lord Death tapped the mirror and a map of Nevada appeared, with a certain location blinking.

"I believe it's going to have to be sooner because there might not be a later." Lord death said as he tapped on to the marked area. As he did so the figure of a woman short black hair was standing by a young girl, whose face was covered.

"Because trouble is knocking on our doors." He whispered. His voice held no bit of the happy person he was known for.

Back at lunch

When Kid made it to the table the whole group was surrounded by he quickly sat down without greeting any of them. He was still thinking.

'Hopefully by then Christi will be to her normal self.' Kid thought to himself as he looked to Christi.

"Um. Kid why are you covered in confetti?" Liz asked as she picked one of the colorful pieces of paper from his shoulder.

Christi managed to make it through most of the school day. Even if though she might have seemed like a zombie she felt like she was making some progress. The last class for the day that she was going to have to survive through was gym. She was dressed down into her gym wear as she walked out to the track for class. Soon enough a group of students were near one end of the track. Sid made his way through the crowd to make it to the front. He blew the whistle that hung around his neck to the attention of the students. With all the eyes on him he spoke.

"Okay, so today we are going to be doing a mini relay race on the track." As he said this some of the students groaned, while others like Black*Star boasted as usual. "Now to start you all need to get into groups of four."

The students moved like herded sheep's into groups. Christi was on a team with Tsubaki, Patti, Black*Star. Kid was with Liz, Maka, and Soul. Crona sat out on the sidelines because he didn't know how to handle races. Sid impatiently read the rules and explained how the game was going to be played.

Each person in each group moved to where they needed to be. Tsubaki moved one fourth of the way down the track and Patti, Black*Star and Christi had to do the same until each of them where one fourth away from each other. All the teams did this. Sid blew the whistle, on the other side of the Track Christi, Liz and the other students from different groups watched as their team mates started running. Christi watched amazed at how fast Black*Star could run. She should have guessed he was very athletic. Not only was Black*Star fast but so was Kid. The only difference with the both of them is that for Kid it didn't seem like he was even trying.

Christi stood and watched as they raced to their other team members. Kid gave the wooden stick to Maka and Black*Star gave his to Patti. Christi still watched Kid. But soon something was waving in front of her vision. With a closer look Christi could tell it was the stick and Patti was trying to give it to her.

"Oh! Sorry!" Christi said as she started to run to Tsubaki. She looked up ahead and saw that Liz had already made it. Was she really spacing out for that long?

She panted as she passed the stick to Tsubaki. As you could tell Christi was not a very active person. As she was catching her breath she heard Liz.

"So I saw that you were checking out Kid." She said grinning. Good thing for Christi you couldn't really tell she was blushing because she was already flushed from the running.

"No I wasn't. I was just wondering how he can do something like this without even breaking a sweat." She replied she was surprised that Liz was the first person today that she was actually having a conversation with today that wasn't forced. Liz nodded.

"You seem to forget that Kid is a reaper so his body is different than ours. Hasn't he told you?" She asked looking quiz fully to her. Christi thought about and then started to speak again.

"Oh yeah he did, the first day that I started training." She said remembering. Liz smiled.

They continued on going around the track 4 more times before they stopped. They had finally reached a winning team. The winning team including Ox and his partner and much to her displeasure Kim and her partner. This caused Black*Star to go in a rage quit fit (haha that rhymed) about how he was supposed to win. They were all leaving the track to go in to get changed since it was the end of the day and during that moment something popped into Christi's head. She evilly smiled as she turned around to face the annoying blue haired boy.

"Hey Black*Star!" She yelled to get the attention of him from his yelling. He noticed and gave her a questioning look. "If you're such a big star that won't back out of anything how 'bout we do a bet?" She asked.

Black*Star didn't even think about it. Why would he? He can handle anything. He quickly responded with a "Sure, what's the bet?"

"You have to stop talking about how you are, which includes you 'being' a god for a whole two weeks." She said all their friends watched at the deal that was being made.

"And what do I get when I win?" Black*Star said crossing his arms.

"Um. I don't know you pick." She said.

"Okay how about you make breakfast for all of us." He said.

"That's fine. And when I win you have to let Maka Maka-Chop you 15 times." She said grinning evilly. Black*Star shot her back a smile just the same.

"Deal" He said as he stuck out his hand. Kid raised an eyebrow. He couldn't believe what Christi was doing. Making a bet with black*Star wasn't the best thing to do. But it was too late to do anything about. And besides it's not like she would have changed her mind if he told her not.

"I'm really going to enjoin this bet too." Maka happily said.

"Yeah! Me too, me too!" Patti screamed. Christi smiled, she wasn't the only one was going to enjoin Black*Star's pain. But she could only guess it was because they all had something held against him. And this could finally be the chance for them to use him as a punching bag.

"Um Black*Star are you sure about this?" Tsubaki calmly asked her meister. Black*Star shook his head. And rested his fisted hands on his hips.

"Since Christi here started it she's got to finish it." He forced out. From now on he was going to have to be careful with his choice of words if he was going to win this.

I feel I a real jerk for being gone I hope you guys don't get mad at me. When I don't have time to get to the computer I resort to having to write in all down. So that when I do have time to get my laptop out I can just type it all up! Mostly the only time I have is late at night when everyone else is asleep, which means that I have to sacrifice my sleeping time. (Which is really fucking me up I NEED my 12 hours, my dreams have been really crazy. The last dream I had was about a rainbow unicorn killing people with its horn!) And you know if I'm giving up my sleep that I must really love you all. 3

And did you guys noticed that I referenced Black Butler in here too. Man since I was gone too I started watching a bunch of new shows. Like Supernatural, Black Butler, Baka and Test, and Full Metal Alchemist. And I have been fangirling other all of them!

*Fangirl Sigh*
