Note- sorry this chapter has been long over due. I'm truly sorry for the wait I have started watching some other animes and forgot completely about this chapter. Forgive me please.
Maka woke up to a delightful smell that Friday morning. She sleepily got out of her bed, slipped her fuzzy blue slippers on, and slipped into her robe. She walked out of the room straight to the kitchen to find a surprise. She sat on the counter a foot away form the stove top. Soul was cooking for the first time, which Maka knew of. "Good morning." Soul said looking up at her smiling a charming smile. "Good morning? What are you doing up before me and why is it that you are cooking your breakfast today?" "Silly it's because today is a special day and I am making you breakfast too." Maka glared at him like she thought he was playing a practical joke on her. "Really, what are you making?" "You do like crepes, right?" "Yes I do, but how did you know." "Um I didn't know I just found a recipe for chocolate crepes in a book of yours so I just thought…" Soul trailed off to silence his muttering about something nobody would care. "Oh that's my mom's old recipe. She gave me that book of her special recipes. I guess we will see how good you can make them." Maka said giggling to the thought of Soul cooking better than her own mother. "Oh I hope I didn't ruin the experience you use to have with my not so good cooking." Soul said flipping the crêpe over one last time then going to the cabinet on the other side of the kitchen. He brought a plate back with him putting the crêpe on it. "What do you want on your crêpe?" "Oh I'll put what I want on it." She said getting ready to slide off the counter. "No stay I'll do it for it's a special day." Soul said right before her feet could touch the ground. "What do you mean by special day?" Maka said while pointing at the bowl of fresh clean strawberries and then at the jar of nutella. "It is your birthday you know." Soul said spreading nutella on the inside of the crêpe. Then he took four strawberries from the bowl, sliced, and put on top of the nutella and folded the crêpe up. "Who told you that?" Maka said sliding down to go get the syrup, some forks and another plate for Soul.
Maka sat down at the table Soul brought over their crepes smothered in nutella, fruit, and syrup. "I have my ways of knowing things like that Maka, so don't try to hide anything from me. (Slowly he sits down across from her.) Oh your father told me to give you his gift. It's on the couch you can open it after we eat." Soul glared while smiling like he had an evil plan up his sleeve. "My father? He told you didn't him? Why oh why?" Maka said as her happy sleepy smile fading. "No I knew before that. Why the long face now? He is your father he should be allowed to give you a present on your fifteenth birthday." Soul said smile still on his face. "I don't know?" Maka said a smile reappearing on her face. They made small talk while they ate when they were done Soul picked up their plates and was about to walk back into the kitchen. "Soul you don't have to wash the dishes." She said fallowing him into the other room. "I know but wouldn't be nice if you could just relax on this special day of yours?" "Yes I guess." Maka jumped back up on the counter watching and telling Soul how to wash the dishes the right way. Soul started to regret washing the dishes.
After the dishes were washed Maka and Soul waked out of the kitchen and into the living area. Soul leaned over the couch picking up the wonderfully wrapped box. "Here open it now." Maka slowly took the box presented in front of her. She sat down on the couch and pulling at the wrapping paper as fast as she could for something made her excited about having a gift to unwrap on her special day. "Oh. I should have known he got me a short black dress." Maka became disgusted with the tight-fitting short black dress. "I think it would look nice one you and it's something to wear when we go out to eat lunch." "What did you say Soul? You want me to go out in public with this on?" "At lest give it a chance Maka. And yes it would be nice for you to wear it out side for your father's sake." "Fine but we aren't going in where else while I wear this dress?" "Well we might stop at a party afterwards." At one o'clock Maka and Soul both went to their own room to get ready for Maka's birthday lunch. Maka came out of her room wearing the tiny black dress with her black open toed high heel shoes and her hair up in the usual pigtail that flowed down to her shoulders. When she walked out there was Soul leaning on the wall by her door in a black tux and a tie redder then his eyes. He smiled his charming smile then he motioned his hand to her left pigtail trying to fix it because it was an inch lower than the other. She laughed then while tightening his tie and then she brushed her hands over his shoulders. "You look lovely, Maka, even in that." "You are looking very charming this evening surprisingly." Maka said blushing at the ground. He laughed and gave her his arm she grasped it. Then off they went outside and into a cab that was waiting for them.
After they ate at an elegant restaurant they called a cab. While getting in the cab Soul whispered directions to Kid's place to the drive so it wouldn't ruin the surprise. A few minutes later the cab stopped at Soul got out while Maka slid out the door after him. He gave her his arm and walked her up the steps. "What are we doing at Kid's house?" Maka said looking up at Soul and his warm smile. "Why don't we go in and maybe you'll find out." Soul said holding her hand that was on his sleeve. When they reached the door Soul knocked in a rhythmic pattern. Kid opened the door smiling at Maka, then at Soul while inviting them in. they followed Kid to the ball room that was dark when Maka took two steps in the lights turned on and everyone she knew was there shouting "Surprise! Happy Birthday Maka!"
