Shopping and Party Games

Maka

I learn quite swiftly what it is girls do together. The first thing on Liz's "magical list of things to do when you have been dead until recently" is what she likes to call "Kid's gold card sopping spree." oh joy. And guess who gets to steal said gold card, again? That's right, yours truly. I decide to use the same method as last time. I knock on his bedroom door hesitantly, holding the uncapped marker behind my back. He opens the door, and I lunge to mark one side of his face. Its just my luck that he's learned from his last mistake, and dodges. I miss his face and mark his white collar instead. Ouch, that's not good. I drop the marker and run like the devil is on my tail. Hell, Kid at that moment might as well have been the devil. Unfortunately, I am no match for him, and he catches up in no time. He catches me by the back of the shirt and hangs me on a coat rack. Then, he promptly rips off his shirt and throws it in the steadily burning fire. This process went much better the first time. Then I have an idea.

"KAMA! MAKE MY SACRIFICE WORTH IT!" I yell, hoping her deft dragon ears caught my last request. Kid, having successfully burned his contaminated shirt to, and I quote, "perfectly symmetrical cinders", he turns back to me with a look of utter fury on his face.

"You, are one evil human being. I mean really! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU HAVE DONE THIS TO ME! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU? WHAT DID I DO TO DESRVE THIS TORTURE?" I roll my eyes at his antics, clearing my throat with exaggeration. He pauses to look up at me.

"Its because you are the only one in this house with a gold card, and that is the easiest distraction to use so I can steal it." he blinks a few times, and then collapses onto his back, spurting (highly symmetrical) blood. Well then. Fortunately, my rescuer arrives, and picks me up buy the shirt in her big dragon mouth, and carries me back to my room, where she promptly spits me out and disappears under the bed.

"Well then. Did she at least get the card?" I ask, rubbing my temples.

"Yep! Now girls, lets sneak out the window! We can steal Kid's car, he never uses it. If he ever wants to go anywhere, he always prefers his fancy flying skateboard, Beelzebub." I nod, and one by one we hop out the window (with a little help from Blair's flying pumpkins). We make a run for the garage, hopping in the striped car and speeding off, Liz in the driver's seat. The car ride consists of Marie and Tsubaki chatting calmly, Rae bouncing around like a crazed squirrel, Patty making origami giraffes and them promptly breaking their necks, and Liz gossiping animatedly to me, while I try to tune out just about everything. Blair's lucky, she got to stay home and hold down the fort. Even Kama came, reducing herself to the size of a bracelet and curling around my wrist, all the while grumbling complaints. This is going to be fun. Not.

When we tumbled out of the car, the first sensation I felt was dread. They brought me to the mall.

"No! Not this place! I'd rather die a painful death leaving my body asymmetrical to face Kid's wrath than take one breath of air from a mall! Please, have mercy!" Kama exclaims. I couldn't have said it better myself. Needless to say, Liz and Patty drag me around the entire place the entire day, and when we finally finish I don't think all of the stuff the group bought will fit in the car. Turns out Marie is a packing monster.

The car ride home is similar to the car ride there, if slightly more excited. Once again, we tumble out of the car and everyone grabs their bags, using Blair's magic as an elevator back into my room, through the window. They all organize sections of MY closet as theirs, and when all of the new outfits are unpacked, everyone changes clothes. Liz and Patty put on matching red crop tops, white ties, and cowboy hats and boots, while Patty wears shorts and Liz wears jeans. Marie puts on a black and yellow skirt with a black blazer, and a lightning pattern eye-patch. Tsubaki puts on a cream outfit with a yellow star over her right chest, two belts, and a long slit up the right side, showing most of her right leg. She pulls on black socks that go all the way up to her thighs and a pair of black sleeves, then ties her hair into a high ponytail with a white bandage. Rae puts on a black t-shirt with a white x on it, and a black pleated skirt. Once everyone is dressed, we find ourselves in a circle on my large bed.

"So, what now?" I ask. I shudder when Liz and Patty both get devious smiles on their faces.

"SOUL!" they yell, simultaneously, and a few minutes later he saunters in.

"What?" he asks.

"Were gonna play a game." his face grows wary.

"What game?" Their smiles grow wider. Patty pulls out an empty Mountain Dew bottle. Oh, that is not a good sign.

"Seven minutes in heaven." they wiggle their eyebrows suggestively, and Soul's eyes widen.

"Oh hell no, i'm outta here." he says, promptly turning around.

"Soul. GET YOUR ASS BACK IN HERE DAMN YOU!" Patty exclaims, with a truly terrifying expression on her face. Soul turns, and obediently sits between Marie and I in the circle. That was quite strange. There's one problem, though, I don't know what seven minutes in heaven is.

"So, since Soul is the only one here who is male, we will spin the bottle to see who goes in with him." Liz explains.

"Um, Liz? Before we start, can you please explain the rules and goal of this game? I can't say I have ever played before." I state innocently. She gives me a look of utter disbelief, which soon switches to a sly smile.

"Well, my dear Maka, Seven minutes in heaven is a game where you spin a bottle to decide two people who will then be locked in a closet together, for seven minutes. Inside the closet, you can do absolutely anything you want, until the seven minutes are up." She says, smirking. Oh, now I understand. Except Soul will be going in, no matter who gets picked. Great. I nod in assent, and Liz spins the bottle in the middle of the bed. I suppose it could have been worse, because the bottle finishes pointing at me. I groan and everyone else cheers, shoving us unceremoniously into the dark closet. I hear the lock click shut, and give an exasperated sigh.

"So, What do you suppose we do?" I ask. I can't see his expression, but I do feel his breath on my cheek.

"Hm, that is a good question. I think I have just the answer." he says, and I can hear the smirk in his voice.

"Really?" I don't know what to expect, but its not that. He kissed, my chin? What's that supposed to be.

"Aw, damn, I missed. Its too freaking dark in here."
