Alright, enough screwing around, it's time for me to get the next chapter done!

I hope you guys all read the Halloween Special in the main fic, because there was an important note about the updating schedule for the foreseeable future there. I don't really know if it'll stick, since I'm sort of iffy on how things will go past the first quarter of the story. We'll have to wait and see.

Also, I'm officially trying something new here. Some of you have asked if it was OK to send the characters gifts or something via the fanmail. Well, I decided that I'm going to give it a shot. However, these have to be small things. Things you could actually send in the mail. Don't give Crona a house or Maka a car or whatever. Just small stuff. Also, do not, I repeat, do not send them anything that would deliberately provoke a negative reaction from them. As in, nothing disgusting or sexual or whatever. First review I get with something like that, this idea is cancelled and will never be brought up again. So don't.

Anyway, today's story comes recommended by someone named Georgina. Agree, disagree, her idea, yadda yadda yadda.

Onward!

/

It's been said that you can never redo a first impression. Crona knew this all too well, no matter how much he wished it wasn't true. No matter how much he wanted things to be different, he knew that his first meeting with Maka would always be the same. There was nothing he could do about that.

Not only that, but there had been certain labels that had been applied to him. Monster. Freak. Murderer. Coward. Those labels would stick in some people's minds, and he would have to deal with them for the rest of his life if he let them stay.

Which was why he chose to remain at the theater, so he could prove that he wasn't any of those things. He needed to prove that he was different, to both himself and his friends. He wanted to be a better person. So he simply had to face the current source of his grief and stress head on, otherwise those labels wouldn't go away.

That was what he told himself when he made that decision. But now that he was standing in front of the screen again, Maka right beside him, his earlier confidence seemed to be gone.

It wasn't so difficult when he was with the others. Raven's suggestion of meditation had been helping quite a bit, and without having to worry about seeing a fic from his own world, doing reviews with her and Subarashii wasn't a problem.

In addition to that, The Host hadn't called him and Maka to the theater in a short while. Maybe it was some form of apology to him. Maybe it was to calm him down enough so he wouldn't trash the theater again. Maybe he just didn't need him as much now. Whatever the case, it had given Crona more time to accept going back to the theater.

Except thinking about that situation and actually having it happen were two completely different things. Now that he was about to run the risk of seeing something like last time once again, it didn't seem so simple.

He felt a hand gently grasp his own and turned to look at Maka, who had a concerned look on her face.

"How're you doing?" she asked.

Crona tensed slightly before looking back at the screen. As much as he wanted to stay behind, every other part of him was telling him to just start running. Maka would understand. He hadn't told her that he was thinking about quitting, because he was worried she would just blame herself for it. But it wasn't unreasonable for him to decide to leave, after what happened. She would understand that.

He then sighed and gave the best answer he could.

"I don't know…"

He felt Maka's hand squeeze his and soon returned the gesture. He then looked back at her, showing some concern of his own.

"W-What about you?"

Maka blinked in mild surprise, then gave a weary smile.

"Well…I'd like to say that it probably can't get worse from here, but I'd hate to jinx it…"

She then gently squeezed Crona's hand again.

"Guess all we can do is keep going and hope for the best, right?"

Somehow, I knew she would say that… Crona thought. He squeezed Maka's hand in reply, giving a small nod as well.

The two then let go of the other's hand and returned to their seats. Without another word, they opened the first fanmail letter and started reading.

Crona: Besides you being half witch. What nationality are you? If ya dont know then thats alright. But ya know I keep thinking besides being found in Italy, that you just might be Italian. I mean think about it. You where found in Italy, with in a church, dressed kinda like a nunn(or monk if you prefer), sence you do say its a robe after all. Then you being a swordsmen and all.

"I wasn't "found" in Italy…that's just where I was introduced. And what does the other stuff have to do with it?"

Plus then theres your favorite food. PASTA! :D

That is if Pasta is your favorite. :3

"…isn't that a bit stereotypical?"

If not Italian, then you gotta be at least some kinda European right?

"I guess…I mean, Medusa was Greek, so maybe…"

Maka tilted her head. "Medusa was Greek?"

"That's what she told me, anyway…"

P.S. I cant see you as a docter. I strangly see you as a libreian for some odd reason. But then its your choice. ;)

"…that wouldn't be so bad…"

Maka smiled. "Yeah, you wouldn't have to study as much for that like you would for being a doctor. Plus, you could work at the academy if you wanted to."

Crona smiled as well. "…I think I'd like that…"

Maka: I know your half Jap,

"I'll thank you to not call them that."

but I think you might be also half European, I researched the last name Albarn, its considerd british I beleave. Interesting huh? :3 But all an all, I do know one thing is for sure, despite your creator being Japanese...he placed you in America. Funny to, So would it make more sence for people to watch the anime in english dubb anyways given the location for all most characters? Just a silly thought.

"…well, I think my dad's English-born, but I can't be sure of that. It's more likely he's American."

P.S. I saw an interesting picture of you with your hair down but on your right side, I beleave was braided, all that long hair of yours. It kinda looked simalar to Killik when he got gender benderd. It looked cool, made ya look more hard core. :]

Maka sighed, twirling one of her pigtails absent-mindedly. "I'm pretty sure I mentioned this already, but I'm not about to braid my hair. It's a bit of a pain, and it reminds me too much of Edward Elric. So, no thank you."

Crona then looked over his shoulder. "Your turn."

The oh-so-familiar splortch rang out as Ragnarok appeared from Crona's back, leaning over to look at the letter.

"Just so long as it isn't that nutcase stalker or anything!"

Ragnarok: Whats it like being in Crona's blood stream? Is it like some kinda crazy roller coaster in there or what?

"…I can't even try to give a proper answer to that question. It's way too crazy to explain."

Also, has anyone noticed that when Crona whore the white tux, he didn't have a huge ass anymore, much less didn't seem so curvy anymore.

Whats up with that?

"How the fuck should I know? Do I look like some kind of expert on his…I dunno, ass-ology or something? Maybe he just lost some weight and his ass finally stopped being so fat!"

"C-Can we please not talk about this?" Crona asked, his face bright red.

Maka simply looked away, her own face rather red itself.

Quick side question. Did you ever like that stupid Black Blood Clown dude or what?

"Hang on, lemme think-NO! I hated that useless freak! Bad enough that I have to share a body already, but it got way too crowded in there with him! Not to mention he was just a stock psycho freak! Do you have any idea how annoying it was just listening to him drone on and on about "ooh, go kill that thing!" or "start killing those things!" Fuck's sake, I don't let anyone tell me what to do!"

Ragnarok then crossed his arms, looking at Maka while Crona opened the next letter. "What ever happened to that freak, anyway?"

"He died soon after we separated him from you two." Maka explained. "I guess he just couldn't survive out of Crona's body."

Crona:You are not replaceable you are my apsalute faverite character so please don't say or think bad thing's about yourself your a great person and you will overcome these trial's and emerge a stronger and better person than ever i have comeplete faith in you and remember you still have the comunecator from Raven she's been through thing's like this so reach out to her

Maka blinked. "Wait, you have a what now?"

Crona flustered. "W-Well, ah…R-Raven g-gave me a T-Titans communicator…y-you know, just in case of emergencies…"

Maka tilted her head. "I thought I heard you talking to her earlier…"

"Huh?"

"Oh, when I walked past your room today I heard you talking, and I thought I'd heard Raven's voice. I guess that explains it."

Crona frowned, then gave Maka a worried look.

"Y-You're not mad at me for not telling you…are you?"

"What? No, of course I'm not! If you want to talk to your other friends, you don't have to let me know or anything, Crona! It's not going to bother me or anything!"

"Oh…OK…"

Maka:If you were going to be the medium for one of the Rozen Maiden's who would it be and why ? note no Kirakishou instead Barasuishou

"Uh-"

"Y-You should just skip that one." Crona interrupted. "Trust me…"

"…OK then…"

Ragnarok:Glad your back i'm doing a story about you telling

four-six yearold's fairytale's and i'm doing it while keeping you in character you thougt's ?

"You cannot imagine the sheer power of the fucks I do not give."

P.S do you think Marie view's you as a son to ?

"See above."

Maka tilted her head while Crona opened the next letter. "That really doesn't matter to you?"

"Not a bit. Do not care one way or the other."

"…oddly enough, I don't believe you."

"Don't care about that either."

Ragnarok: What's your earliest memory?

"Waking up to find myself stuck to this guy. I also found out I could scream so loud I could shake the room right then."

Crona frowned, rubbing the side of his head while he opened the next letter. "So that's why I don't remember much of that…"

"You were like, what, five? Maybe younger? I wouldn't be surprised if you forgot."

crona heloooooo my bro said to poligize so heer it gos sory and done incays ya didnt know im the the 1 whoz been trollin ya and now il stil be doin it but in more of a jerk way not a brayk you soul way K ?

Crona sighed. "I figured that out already, thank you…"

maky it turns out the 1st Q i asked crona last time is answerd in the manga and some advice 1 girl to anothur GET SEXYER PANTYS

Maka flushed. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

cronas nise enuf to his fans to go without least u can do is hav a ciut pair on maybe a thon wada ya think crona ? / somehow this made it past my fashist bro wtf

Maka's hand met her face, covering her large blush. "I swear, just when I think they finally learn…"

RAGGY you cant hyde from me my SMEXY BLACK BLOOD GOD OF LOVE !

"Right!" Ragnarok called. "Nice being out for all of five minutes, but it's time to go!"

Without giving either Maka or Crona a chance to respond, Ragnarok dove back into Crona's body.

Maka frowned while she opened her next letter. "Never thought I'd see Ragnarok have to run from a fangirl…"

Crona shuddered slightly. "Our fans really disturb me at times…"

"…at times?"

"…right…"

Crona: I didn't mean you die, I meant that if Maka tried to stab you then Ragnarok would pop out to save you then he can be asked the questions about why he left (though it's now because

Crona quickly snatched the letter from Maka and skipped to the next question.

Maka: Are pigtails really efficient during combat? Don't they ever block your vision.

"Eh, not as much as you would think. Not that I haven't had the odd instance where they've been a problem."

She gave a contemplative frown while Crona opened the next letter. "Maybe I should switch to a ponytail…what do you think, Crona?"

Crona flushed. "U-Um…either one would look good…I-I mean, would work fine! Th-That's what I meant!"

"…okaaaaay…"

Crona: In the whole Soul Eater world, you'd be the most... tolerate of this. The fact that you can get hit by all this and still go on speaks VOLUMES of your strength. I get the feeling that if the snake never tried to break you, you'd probably be unstoppable.

"…I wouldn't go that far…"

Now for the question! Blood has no true shape, right? So has Ragnarok ever tried to be anything else other than a sword? Maybe he should try being a shotgun! Or a staff. I can picture you holding a kickass staff! Rock on dude!

"Ragnarok might be made of my blood, but he's still a weapon. He can't change into anything else but a sword."

Maka: I want to tell you something hilariously ridiculous, but I get the feeling I might piss you off a bit too much. Screw it, I'm telling ya! There's a fic where you're turned into a little girl (again) and it turns out you were a papa's girl. Always wanting daddy and all that. Is this true?

Maka stared at the letter for a few minutes, the room growing quiet. She then turned her head and looked away from the letter and Crona, not making a sound.

Crona frowned, already worried and somewhat confused in regards to Maka's reaction.

"Maka…?"

Maka didn't turn to look at Crona, and spoke with a slight waver in her voice.

"Just…next question, please…"

Crona's concern only grew, but he decided to do as Maka asked and read the next question.

Both: If you guys had a kid, what would you name it?

The two of them both let out a shout of surprise, their faces getting incredibly red.

"Why do you keep asking us stuff like that?" Maka questioned.

Crona quickly opened the next letter, eager to move on to another subject.

Maka:

Do you like pineapple?

"Yeah, a bit."

How do you feel about people cosplaying as you?

"It's…nice? …I guess?"

Do you like Tennis?

"Well, I am still interested in trying it out…"

Maka then frowned when she had the impression Crona was staring at her. She turned to see a rather nervous expression on his face.

"…Crona, relax, I'm not going to use Blair to make a tennis racket."

Crona sighed shakily. "R-Right…I knew that…"

What are you currently reading?

"Stephen King's Carrie."

How did Spirit react when he found out you were living with Soul?

"Take a wild guess…"

Crona:

Do you like snow?

"Yeah, I do…I don't mind the cold…"

You've bent your body pretty ridiculously before, are you a contortionist?

"N-Not really…I'm just really flexible, I guess…"

How do you feel about people cosplaying as you as well?

"…I try not to think about it too much…"

Is there anything you like about your fans?

"W-Well, some of them can be nice…I do appreciate that…"

Have you ever tried dancing?

"N-No…I doubt I'd be very good at it…"

Maka smiled, gently patting Crona on the shoulder while he opened the next letter. "That's no big deal. I'm not that great at dancing either."

"Probably better than me…"

Maka tilted her head. "How would you know if you haven't tried?"

"…um…because…?"

Maka sighed, reaching over and pulling Crona into a hug. "I'm not great at everything, Crona…"

Crona flushed at the contact. "I-I know…doesn't mean you wouldn't be better than me…"

Maka reached up and gently tapped Crona on the head. "You really should stop so self-depreciative, you know…"

"…sorry…"

Maka squeezed him gently and decided to start reading the letter.

maka

there is a reason no soul eater/maximum ride fanfics have been sent in yet. there are 5 i just recommended 3 of them.

"…you know, I wasn't asking for requests when I said that."

anyway when stein has you diesect things where does he get the money to get rare creatures?

"That's a good question…maybe Lord Death just arranges it for him?"

is there a kishin egg out there named after freddy kruger?

"Probably. Not that I've run into him."

crona

youre reaction last time was the most correct the second that they started comparing maka to /that/ woman i went into shock and nearly fell over you're my hero.

Crona sighed, tossing the letter aside and moving to the next one.

Maka frowned, placing her hand on Crona's arm, causing him to look at her in mild surprise.

"Crona, you know I'm not upset with you, right?"

Crona nodded. "I know…I just wish things had gone differently…"

Maka moved her hand up to squeeze Crona's own, which he soon returned. He then started reading the new letter.

Dearest Crona... Monster is a state of mind. Plenty of Human people have been more Monstrous than you have ever done in your entire career... EVER... Just because you have different blood does not make you a monster. Just because you share your body with Ragnarok does not make you so different that you can not be friends or more with a human. She won't push you away. Your heart's treasure feels almost as strongly as you do about you. It's there for all of us to see... you just have to let go of the fear and trust her.

Crona stared at the letter, mouth hanging open slightly in shock. A part of him was surprised that this person even knew about his conversation with Raven, but since it took place in the theater, it wasn't impossible. Especially since the fans had learned about other things that weren't in the theater.

But even more surprising was how she was so willing to provide comfort and help with this problem. No matter how many times one of their fans did that, it still surprised him. He felt an immense amount of gratitude towards this person, and couldn't help but smile a little.

Said smile quickly vanished when he saw the "heart's treasure" part again. His face turned bright red, and before Maka could respond, he continued reading.

Maka...

I love ya honey... You are the best thing that ever happened to Crona, and Some day, both of you will see it.

Maka blushed brightly, scratching the back of her head while giving a sheepish grin.

"Geez, this one really likes to pile it on thick, doesn't she?"

"She's right, though…"

"Eh?" Maka responded, looking at Crona in confusion.

His eyes were off to the side, and there was a small smile on his face.

"You are the best thing that's ever happened to me."

Maka stared at Crona, eyes wide in surprise. She could feel her own face getting warmer than it already was, while her brain scrambled to think of some sort of response.

Naturally, she fell on her typical plan, and moved forward to wrap Crona in as tight a hug as she could give. Crona soon returned the gesture, though he was careful not to hug her too tightly.

"Geez, Crona…" Maka muttered. "I don't know what to say when you say stuff like that…"

Crona's smile grew slightly. "But it's true…"

Dang it, Crona, stop confusing me so much… Maka thought.

The two of them soon separated, and Crona opened the next letter.

Maka:

Was their ever a mission that made you think you step into the Twilight zone?

"Not really…would've been interesting if there was. I actually liked that show…"

During Halloween,have soul ever tried to scare you out your wits?

"Oh yeah, he's certainly tried. Hasn't succeeded, but he's tried."

Crona frowned. "But Soul told me that that one incident with the blanket and the bucket of water-"

"He was embellishing the story, trust me."

What do you think of the singer Britney spears?

"Bleh."

Chrona:

Have Ragnarok ever ever popped of you belly before?

"Yeah, a few times. Why?"

Have you ever played with a baby duck before?

"N-No, I haven't…"

Maka & Chrona:

How was the year 2000 like for you?Did you believe in the Y2k prediction?

Maka sighed. "Alright, alright, I might've bought into the hype a little. I was still a kid then, I was gullible."

"I've never heard of this "Y2K" thing before…" Crona responded.

"It was another one of those "end of the world" scare stories." Maka explained while opening the next letter. "The idea was that once it hit the year 2000, all of the world's computers would shut down or something. I don't really remember the details, but everyone was going crazy about it."

"You mean like how everyone's talking about 2012 now?"

"Basically, yeah."

Maka:

What year does Soul eater take in?Some writers think your world takes place in 2011,2010 or 2008 or any other dates that takes place after the anime debut.I believe that the year is 2003 in your world due to the manga I'm just asking this because your universe is pretty intresting.

"If our creator can't make up his mind in that regard, how should we know the answer?"

Does the sun and moon ever creep or surprise you out sometimes?

"Not really, considering they've always been like that for us."

Like the black eye peas?

"Meh."

everybody:

If you were to some how end up in Super smash bros Brawl universe which nintendo character would you fight?

"I really don't know…" Crona answered.

"Peach. She's really, really annoying to me." Maka replied.

Which dessert would you chose: Red Velvet brownies or Fried ice cream?

"Um…the first one…I guess?" Maka said.

"Yeah, same here…maybe?" Crona added.

Crona then looked over at Maka while she opened the next letter. "I thought ice cream was supposed to be cold…"

"I don't really get it either."

Ragnarok: If you had your own body for exactly 24 hours what would you do?

There was a low gurgling sound as Ragnarok peeked over Crona's shoulder.

"Get laid."

Maka sighed. "Why am I not surprised by that…?"

"Hey, it's either that or go out killing people! And since I'm apparently not allowed to do that anymore, it's gotta be the other choice!"

With that, Ragnarok returned to Crona's body, leaving a rather embarrassed Crona to read the next question.

Maka: Where does Lord Death get all of the money to do all the stuff he does? If he says "I want a blimp that can go to the moon" he can get one ASAP! Is it a global collaboration of all the countries? Did he invent the paperclip and is still getting royalties?

"…um, he's Death. I think he can ask for whatever he wants to without having to worry about money. Who's going to say no to him?"

"Someone who's suicidal?" Crona suggested as he opened the next letter.

"…OK, but besides that."

maka: you like crona (chrona) don't you

Maka flushed, gritting her teeth. "Don't you start."

ps: very big fan and i'm sorry for the torture you two go through personally you two are the coolest people ever.

"Gee, thanks…" Maka replied sardonically.

P.s.s: chrona ( crona) never Give up hope stay strong and take care of maka

"R-Right…" Crona replied.

Without wasting any time, Crona grabbed the next letter and started reading.

Chrona: do you "like" maka or do like maka as a friend?

Crona simply flushed and moved on to the next question.

Chrona and Maka: what starts with "f" and end with "uck"?

Firetruck

What starts with "p" and ends with "orn"?

Popcorn

Maka sighed, crumpling the letter and tossing it aside. "Great, now we've got a smartass middle-schooler as a fan."

Crona simply opened the next letter, eager to finish and move on to whatever story they had that day.

For Crona and Maka though, My questions are:

1. Are you guys TV Tropers?

"Not really, the random information just gives us tropes sometimes." Maka explained.

"But that happens more when I'm with Raven and Subarashii than it does here…" Crona added.

2. Would you ever review another fic from another anime just to well, see other horizons so to speak?

"If we actually had a choice in the matter, yes…" Maka grumbled.

3. Can I borrow that tray you both use? I'm gonna need it after reading some of these terrible fics.

"Not a chance." they answered simultaneously.

To Crona and Maka,

Hey you two, it's awesome to finally send a message out. Ya know, I've always been a big fan of this "pairing" ever since I started reading Soul Eater fics,

"Watch it…" Maka warned.

what sucks though is some of the crap I had read and well, reread due to this show. But hey, the commentary that was actually funny before you guys started losing your minds over how awful they were. But I understand it though, the stuff you go through, I feel like I need to bash my skull in with a titanium tray. Even so, If I could, I'd give ya both a hug, you guys need it after the trouble you went through. The sadists, Dracula, these fics, all of it. It's always darkest before dawn, but when the dawn comes, life will get better for you guys, I'm certain of it.

And Crona, keep your head up, you have an amazing person by your side and some awesome friends. You could also use more hugs.

"What's that?" Maka asked. "More hugs? Good idea!"

She then reached over and hugged Crona again, a wide, playful smile on her face. Crona blushed in response, a small smile on his own face.

Maka, have you ever Maka Chopped a Pre-Kishin to death? I've always wondered. Also, keep your spirits up too!

"No, I haven't. The fight would be over way too fast if I did."

Crona tilted his head. "But wouldn't it make more sense to finish the fight sooner?"

Maka sighed, getting to her feet. "Yes, but apparently our creator wants to make the fights "entertaining". Crazy, I know."

With that, she walked over to the table and picked up the envelope, opening it and reading the contents.

First of all, I'd like to say that I may not be calling on you two as much as I used to. Don't hold me to that, though, we'll have to see.

At any rate, it's a little funny that I have the urge to talk to you two about "forgiveness". Not just because of what happened last time, but because of something else. Raven would know what I'm talking about.

Your story today is called medusas end by medusa10.

Enjoy.

Maka crumpled the letter in her hand, teeth gritting instinctively. From the title and the name of the author, it was all too easy to figure out what the subject of this story was.

Unbelievable…after what happened last time, he's going to pull THIS on us? Maka thought furiously.

She threw the paper at the ground before marching back to her seat, fuming quietly as she sat back down. She then turned to look at Crona, expecting the worst.

Thankfully, Crona wasn't looking as though he was about to get up and run away, but he still looked very uneasy. He was wringing his hands nervously in his lap, eyes glued to the screen.

"…Crona?" Maka asked.

"…I-I'll manage…" Crona responded. "L-Let's just get it o-over with…"

Maka frowned, not entirely convinced that Crona was ready. Before she could comment, though, the room darkened and the show began.

/

This is my first fan fic

Maka: …guys, I know we've said this a lot…but seriously, stop saying that. You're just asking for trouble.

this is gory in the seance of blood.

Crona: …what's the difference between a regular séance and a blood séance?

Maka: The second is a bit more unholy than the first?

I don't hate medusa if any thing she is my favorite.

Both: …she has fans?

I do not own soul eater . RAR

Crona: Why did she just roar at us…?

Maka: *shrug*

Medusa

Maka: What about her?

For maka and soul it started as a normal day going to class eating lunch hanging with the gang but some thing was wrong with crona she mumbled stuff to her self.

Crona: *sighs*

Maka: And here we go again…

So as a good friend maka asked what is wrong. Crone said nothing is is wrong maka.

Crona: …quotations? Anyone?

Maka: We don't need no stinking quotations!

Maka said ok. But still knowing something was up. They walked around

Crona: …walked around…where? In a circle? Around town? Around the Eiffel Tower?

Maka: Ooh, nice, free trip to France.

crona said two words and maka heard those two words lady medusa. Maka said she cant get you in death city i prommis. Crona had a small smile. Maka whas worried for crona but they keppet walking. Make said to soul " crona looks extremely worried."

Ragnarok: Noooooooooo shit!

As it got latter every one started to split up Until it was only maka, soul, crona, and black star. Black star kept on going on how he will serapes gods.

Crona: …um…

Maka: Yeah…let's just leave that one alone…

Maka looked like she could care less.

Maka: Couldn't. It's couldn't care less.

crona on the other hand seemed interested.

Crona: …why would I be interested in that?

It was completely dark out maka and crona was going out side death city to look at the stars they did for a good hour or so.

Both: …*blush*

they spit up.

Maka: Um…ew.

Maka was heading back when she feels the presents of two witch souls

Maka: Free stuff!

one was weekend the other was stronger

Maka: …forget it. If I make a joke with every grammatical error, we'll be here forever.

she runs as fast as she can to get there. as she gets close finds two more souls bolth misters. She finally gets there her hear hart was bought to explode

Crona: Th-That definitely doesn't sound good…

Maka: Wait, why would I buy an exploding heart? That's just silly.

when she sees dr stein,crona, arachne, and medusa. She sees medusa is bleeding out and she grins but then she stops and looks a arachne and then to stein. Stein says to take medusa to the infirmary quickly. Maka looked confused and said in hatred 'why she is just a witch'

Maka: More importantly, she's a total bitch, so why are we saving her?

She looked at medusa with hatred and looked discussed,

Crona: …never mind, Maka's right. We'll take too long if we make fun of all of them.

Arachne just laughed with an evil grin and looked at medusa and disappeared .crona looking scars as ever

Crona: Wait, how can I look scars? What, do I just look at someone and they get scars on their body?

Maka: That's certainly a superpower I haven't heard of…

stein said we have to bring medusa now. Maka said 'why'. Agean Stein said if she dies so douse rachel die so we have got to get them to the infirmary

Maka: *groan* Why do they always have to get Rachel involved…?

Medusa is covered with a pool of blood when stein picks hear up she is dripping with blood. and passes out stein running as fast as he can while checking medusas pulse to make shore she is alive while running he has to go thru the market. Medusa still a live by a thread. people move out of the way and every one is talking. Background people whispering ' is that medusa. I thought she was dead. It can't be

Stein finally gets to the infirmary. He knows he has to act quickly to keep medusa/Rachel alive Maka gets crona,soul,kid,Liz,patty,black star and tsubaki. Tells them what happens

Crona: Wait, why did she need to tell me? I was there!

Maka: And why did you need to list everyone? Did you think we'd forget who was in our circle of friends?

Chapter 2 medusa recovery As maka got the gang and told them everyone looked surprised pissed but crona was kscared to the brink where she could not move. All she said quietly was "she is back." Every one was feeling bad for crona.

Ragnarok: Well, gee, aren't you guys great friends? Feeling bad for him so much that the fic needs to declare it! As though it wasn't already pretty friggin' obvious that you would anyway-

Maka: Yes, thank you, Ragnarok. I think we got it.

Ragnarok: Hey, apparently I have fans, so I guess I have to participate somehow.

Maka said to crona with a frowned face' she is going to be hear for a long time it could be year but she can't heart you a teachers will be watching hear non stop ok. I will never let you get heart by hear ok. Crona had a small glimmer of hope in hear eye.

Crona: …hearing through my eye?

Maka: It might be better to not think about that one too much.

Crona: Yeah…

Back in the infirmary dr stein and nygus where working non stop to save medusa. Out side almost all of the students were there trying to hear what was going on. Maka told crona that they will try not to go down that hall. But never the less the last class was right next to the infirmary so no one could pay attention couse they could hear what was going on. Every once in a while we could hear the hart beet monitor go really fast. One time we heard dr stein say we are lousing her but then we heard the hart monitor go really fast and slow down to normal.

Maka: Oh God, this just switched to a first-person view, didn't it…?

This went on for two days. After 48 hours the gang see's dr stein leaving the room.

Maka: …and right back again. OK then…

Maka is still made he saved hear but she is happy rachal is still alive. Crona is scared to see lady medusa.

Crona: …this fic is really bad at expressing emotions…

Maka: No kidding…

Stein came to talk to crona and ask ' would you like to see hear I know you are scared of her but She is being watched at all times right know. Also she isnt awake yet. nygus is with hear would you like to see hear?' Crona said 'only if maka can come.' Stein said ok but two at a time and crona you can visit her whenever you want. Stein had brought them in. Nygus said hello. Maka and crona said 'hello back.'

Crona: …we actually said "hello back"?

Maka: *facepalm*

ragnarok came out to see what medusa looked like. Medusa had tubes every where also she had a blood bag that whas the size of ragnarok (when he is small)

Ragnarok: I think we can figure that out ourselves, thanks! It's not like they even make bags that are as big as I used to be!

All of a sudden the hart beet monitor whas fast and loud crona was clenching her fist hard Maka said 'crona don't hurt your self. We should go.' crona left the room. Every one got back to gather and talked. crona said she had to take care of some things. The only thought that went threw every ones mind was is she going to kill medusa.

Maka: …OK, Crona would know well enough not to do that if Rachel was involved! Why even bring it up if that's not going to happen?

Crona: …it's not guaranteed that it won't happen…

Maka: It had better not.

so every one was talking abought crona crona was confessed but no body said any thing.

Maka: Wait, we were talking about Crona while he was still there? …or did he leave and come back, or…

Crona: Now I'm really confused…

Before crona left ragnarok poppet out and said I want to stay and eat. An hour had past maka said she needed to pick up more food. When she was at the market she saw crona getting food maka came and said you dont need to pick up food Me and soul will ok Crona said she paid all ready.' trying to cover up the fact she was lying. Crona got home and made all sorts of different foods and made a card saying Get well. I know you never really loved me but I hope you are get better.

Ragnarok: "Hope you are get better"? Author, graduate from kindergarten before you start writing!

Love crona Also it had a rouse in it

Maka: …um-

Crona: L-Let's just skip this…

Maka: OK…

Crona was done with every thing and passed out on maka and souls couch. Maka saw all these tasty treats apple pie home made pizza all that good stuff she read a note saying please don't touch. She didn't touch but she saw somethings a card that says to mom.

Crona: *flinch*

Maka: Crona…

Crona: I-I'm O-OK…

Maka: …you don't exactly look OK…

Crona: …let's just keep going…

She could not resist to open the card but she didn't open the card.

Maka: …so did I open it or not? A little clarification would be nice!

Crona woke up around 12 and said "o no the food." she put the food in the fridge and fell back a sleep she woke up at around 4pm and saw maka and soul fighting a bought the food Maka said if crona put a note saying not to touch. What do you do ow i got it Don't touch. Soul said back angrily "you moved the card I didn't see it ok " Maka screamed you don't know if the food was for us ok and dont ask if it was for us crona would have told us ok.

Maka: …Crona, Soul and I don't get that bad when we argue, do we…?

Crona: N-No, of course not! Nowhere near that bad!

Maka: …alright…

Crona said " soul it is ok it was to much food any was ok so don't fight." Maka said " it is not ok you bought the food with your money so you say who can eat it. I'm not trying to be mean but soul needs to learn ok." Soul said with an attitude I'm sorry crona for eating you food."

Maka: Way to be a jerkass, Soul.

Crone said it's ok like I said before to much food. Soul left in a few minets and so did crona. maka thought to her self on peek at the card that's all. So maka read the card. She thought he did all this for medusa. I don't know why she treats him like crap all the time. I will never under stand crona.

Maka: Oh, so now he's a guy? What, you couldn't decide?

She puts the card down and levees THE NEXT DAY Stein told crona that "medusa might wake up in a few hours or so" Crona said thank you" Crona rushed home got the food and card . Crona puts the food on one side and the card on the other. Crona told Nygus to tell medusa this is for her." Nygus replied ok crona Crona ran of to sids class he was a few minuets late and Sid said crona where where you crona. Crona froz and said scary blue man.

Crona: *facepalm* I don't always get like that around Sid…

Maka came down and asked the same thing crona said checking on lady medusa. every one was staring when she said that

Maka: …apparently, no, you couldn't decide, because you're back to using "she".

sid said just don't be late next time now take a seat. Right be fore the bell rang dr stein came in and said Crona your mom is up would you like to see her." Crona said yes but can maka come to." Dr stein said no not till class is over but then you two can go."

Crona: Why? Why is it OK for me to miss class but not her?

Maka: Because the plot demands it, as always.

Maka said go I'll meet up with you ok Crona said I will come." Crona went down the stares and fallowed stein. crona got to the infirmary and walked in and said hello lady medusa what do you think of all the stuff I made for you." Medusa replied "Its nice

Maka: *grumbles* Ungrateful little…

Medusas pain crona had a grin she know that whas the best she would get and left

Crona: …well, they got that part right, at least.

Maka: *hugs Crona*

Medusa read the note and had a grin . Crona met up with maka Maka said how are you Crona said ok Maka gave him a hug and kept walking .

Maka: Seriously, pick one or the other. Stop jumping around like this.

When they got home they talked about medusa and how they will get there revenge and crona just agreed. They were all in class as dr stein kept talking a bout how arachnophobia will attack us soon. Maka said well get all those damn witches Crona said yes

Ragnarok: Well, you certainly have a lot to add to the conversation.

Crona: I noticed…

It had bin a few months since medusas surgery every ones and a wile crona visited medusa She just sat in the conner and starred at the floor. ones and a wile crona tried to make a conversation but it endid after medusa says hi back. Maka asked if she wanted to do something like go out for dinner or go on a walk.

Maka: …have you decided yet? Or should I expect another jump?

Crona said dinner so they went to a cafe they talked Maka asked " what dose you think of your aunt or a arachne Crona said lady medusa told me she is not to be trusted or like. Maka said I don't care what medusa says I'm asking you Crona said ok I think she Is mean and evil. Maka said me to And they ate there dinner

Ragnarok: "Mean and evil"? Sheesh, don't hold back guys, tell us how you really feel!

It had bin a year now since medusas injury.

Maka: Oh, come on, she couldn't have been hurt that badly!

Crona was walking home when she bumped into stein Crona said sorry Stein said it ok also I would like to let you know your mom is back to her old self no longer in Rachel's body it looks like her soul is fully repaired and she is going into custody.

Crona: …how? She can't just create a new body from scratch! And what was the point of having her possess Rachel if she was just going to get her own body again…?

Maka: Forced sympathy?

Crona said ok Crona walked back home and told maka Maka was happy that rachel got her body back and says what ever she gets is to good for her. Crona agrees Spirit tells medusa to fallow him. Without any say in it she gets up and follows him. They get in a room she says what do you want. Spirit says first what were you doing in death city. Medusa says why do you care.

Spirit says we can do this the easy way or the painful way. He pulls out a wrench with dried blood.

Maka: …whoa, wait, what?

Crona: …what is going on…?

Medusa tying to recap what happens. Spirit gets up and walks closer with the wrench pulls it to her tooth and says the same thing. Still thinking the next thing she knows she feels him yank out a tooth as she screams in pain he says why were you in death city." a bit louder medusa still in pain she can't talk he pulls it up to her tooth says 5 4,3,2 ,1 and pulls out a second tooth she screams twice as loud. Medusa has a few tears but stops

All: *shocked silence*

Ragnarok: …what the fuck…?

Medusa says in horrible pain" stop please.

Spirit says I will when you talk

Medusa says ok ok I'll say if you stop

Spirit says good

Medusa says I was walking to go get food next thing I know I see arachne and giriko. They attack me I tried to fight back but giriko hit me with his blade foot I was in a lot of pain I dropped bruw and ran

Spirit you had bruw and drooped it

Medusa says do u want to hear why or not

Spirit says we can go back to before

Medusa gulps and says ok I ran clenching my stomach to have less bleeding I see death city and run faster and faster hoping some one would see the presents of us I ran and ran I fell got back up vomited blood a lot finaly got hear. I heard arachne tell giriko to go back he sounded pist but did as was told but arachne still fallowed me I fall in a ally I see stein and crona come then maka. You know the rest.

Crona: …that sounded a lot more like a narrator's perspective than hers…

Maka: And why are you even bringing Brew back into this? Considering that went pretty much nowhere?

Spirit said how did arachne know you had bruw

Medusa said I answered you your first question that is all

Spirit said ok then I'll get it out of you.

Spirit torcherd medusa for a hour all that was left was two teeth bolth had drill holes in them and she had punch marks and on one of her hands all the fingers were first dislocated then broke.

Ragnarok: …let me repeat: What the fuck?

Maka: And could you actually answer this time…? Because I'd like to know too.

Medusa was crying nonstop

Spirit said I dont feel bad at all

Maka: …I can't believe I'm about to say this, but…you should. You really should!

Medusa says I replaced the real bruw with a fake arachne know and hunted me down you know the story. Can I please go please i gave you what you want please at least to the cell please.

Spirit grind and said ok but we will be back towmorow

Medusa was happy to be leaving on the way back maka and crona saw medusa missing teeth sobbing and her fingers bent in a weird way

Crona looked and felt horrible For medusa

Crona: …and that's it? You didn't think to ask why she was like that? …what the hell is wrong with you?

the next day every one heard a BOOM

Maka: Most overused sound effect ever.

Medusas sacrifice

Boom was heard all over death city they hear alarms going off saying arachnophobia is hear get ready to attack every one ready we could se a army and there HQ coming a shot hit the cells medusa trying to escape. In the death room lord death said I thought we had more time he called crona,soul,kid,Liz,patty,black star, tsubaki,Sid,dr stein,maka, and spirit.

Maka: Roll call just in case we forgot anyone.

They all get there every one looked at spirit with all the blood from medusa.

Maka: …we're not even going to ask, are we?

Spirit tells lord death what medusa knows Lord death says bring her here

Maka: No, no we're not…

Lord death tells dr stein, sid, maka, crona,soul,kid,Liz,patty,black star and tsubaki that they need to make shore no one opens the yes

Crona: …no one opens the yes? …what?

Maka: *shrug* I don't even know how to work with that one…

lord death they replied the battle went on for hours

Maka: Not that we'll actually show you, because that would require, you know, effort!

the dwma broke and fell apart they retreated to the death room there was only young misters and weapons medusa in side the death room to from being was on the floor in pain REPER CHOP said lord death Hitting medusas head AHHHHHHH that's all every body heard. Maka,crona,soul,kid,Liz,patty,black star and tsubaki ran in as arachne, mosquito, giriko and the keshin.

Crona: …why is this person making the Reaper Chop seem like torture too?

Maka: And why did it say we went in there when we already did once? And why is the Kishin there too? And why do we need to ask so many questions?

arachne says if you stop now we will let you live. Maka says we will never stop arachne says ow I thought medusa died that's a shame I geese we will have to do that

Medusa gets free from the chains mosquito and giriko where going to attack medusa when she says vector arrow hitting mosquito flying him into girikos blade cutting mosquito into tiny parts blood splats every where. she sees his head trying to escape vector arrows 1000s of arrows stab is head killing him for good. Giriko said finally I thought I would have to do that.

Maka: Oh shut up, Giriko. No one likes you.

Ragnarok: And technically, he did. The excessive blood and gore is proof of that.

Lord death had death scythe and went up and attacked Medusa and arachne fight the students can't do any thing with out geting killed. Lord death and the keshin are neck and neck when every one hears a huge thud the keshin has bin kicked down we see lord death going down we hear him say keshin hunter we see a different colored scythe hi the keshin dead in the center killing him for good.

Maka: Behold the power of the anti-climax!

Lord death tells arachne to give up you lost she sees maka death the kid and crona she looks at them and shoots some acid thread

Maka: What, no Black*Star?

All every one hears is vector plate Medusa gets hit but saving crona kid and maka. Medusa falls to the floor in lot of pain they would have never thought in 1000 years would medusa give her life for cronas.

Maka: …wait, what?

Crona: …

arachne looks up sees lord death cut her in half. Medusa says crona I love you sorry I never told you that. Medusa starts to vomit blood nonstop. Looks at crona and gives a huge smile before Medusa tern into a floating pink orb. Crona just sits there looking maka comes over and hugs crona.

Ragnarok: …did that just happen?

Maka: Apparently…

Crona: …I…you…what…?

As arachnophobia retreated giriko left quickly before being killed Crona looks at the orb that had a snake going around it. Crona stayed still for a few hours after every one left. Maka says to crona you need to. Eat

Maka: Interrupting. Period.

let's go Crona still standing still Maka asked what is wrong. Crona said that was the first time she said I love you to me.

Crona: *twitch*

Maka: …*hugs Crona*

Crona gets up to the mirror and asks lord death what to do with his mothers soul he said what ever you want She asks him if he could put it in the death room and put a little memorial. Lord death says yes normally I would say no to a witch but after what she did she deserves it and in-since I can't say thank you to her this a way. she will be in a better place trust me. and she will be right next to my mirror. Crona looked happy and said could we Do that when I get back Lord death says yes also I will get maka and death the kid. Crona ok The gang got to gether and maka said I'm sorry a bout your mom Crona says mo lady medusa told me that she loved me. Maka and told crona they thought they were going to die but at the last second she saved us. Crona says im putting her in the death room in a shrine for her. Every on smiled

Ragnarok: So is there a reason you needed to repeat all of that back to us? I get that you're slow as fuck, but that doesn't mean we are!

Maka: Target audience?

Ragnarok: …oh yeah.

LATER THAT DAY

In the death room lord death says she was evil at first but she gave something that is worth more then all the experiments in the world. She gave her life to save my son kid maka and crona

Maka: Ohhhh, that's why you had Kid there. So Lord Death would actually want to be nice to her. It's almost like you were just randomly trying to make her look good without any explanation at all!

sow we say bye for now but when we die to we can say thank you but till that day come we put her soul in the ground say good bye for now and put this shrine on the stand with a picture to never forget her. Crona smiled shed a tear and says god bye they all leave and get ready to fix death city after the attack.

Sorry if realy bad it is my first. RaR

Maka: We knew that already, and you made that pretty clear. And quit roaring at us, you're not even slightly intimidating.

/

The lights slowly came back on as Maka stared at the screen, unsure of how to react.

On the one hand, it was Medusa. In Maka's eyes, if anyone deserved to be locked up in a dungeon cell and be beaten with something hard and made of metal, it was her. She often fantasized about doing such a thing, much to her embarrassment. But now that she had actually seen it happen, it didn't seem right.

Not to mention that it was in an attempt to make the reader feel sorry for her. Under most circumstances, if it was anyone else, Maka would probably feel sorry for them. But, it was Medusa, and Maka just couldn't bring herself to care.

That bothered her quite a bit.

She let out a sigh, deciding it would be better to just voice her thoughts on the matter.

"Alright…I get that I was supposed to look at what happened as a bad thing…and I understand that it was." Maka explained. "But…I am not going to feel sympathy for Medusa. It just can't happen. She has done far too many terrible things to people that I care about for me to even consider forgiving her. And for anyone else to think that she should be sympathized with is sheer lunacy."

Maka paused for a second, before continuing. "But you didn't even try to make her sympathetic. All you did was start hitting her with something and turn to us and say "see how hurt she is? Don't you feel sorry for her yet?" Not to mention the fact that you made my dad the one to torture her. You've pretty much already failed when you make him look worse than her! If you want to turn a villain good, you need to make it convincing. You need to make us believe that it makes sense. This wasn't that at all."

She then stopped, turning to look at Crona, wondering if he had anything to add.

She frowned when she saw the blank expression on his face. He was simply staring at the screen, not showing any sort of emotion at all.

She thought of what happened last time and was immediately worried.

"Crona…?" she cautiously asked.

Thankfully, this time Crona blinked and turned to look at her, seemingly as though he had come out of a daze.

"Y-Yes?"

Maka gave a small sigh of relief, before staring directly into Crona's eyes.

"Tell me the truth. Are you OK?"

Crona blinked in surprise, not expecting Maka to be so forward. He stared at her for a few seconds before responding.

"…yes."

A small smile came onto his face, which Maka hadn't been expecting.

"I'm OK, Maka…really, I am."

Maka frowned, some part of her not entirely convinced that Crona was telling the truth. All the same, she decided it'd be best to not push it.

"Alright."

With that, the two of them got up and started heading up the stairs, hand-in-hand.

Crona's mind was surprisingly clear. He had been presented with a possibility that he never dreamed of considering. The possibility of his mother being forgiven for her actions. Of her deserving to be forgiven. And for it to come so quickly after last time told him that it was his first real test.

It was one that he already passed. He knew how to react to this.

/

As always, I have no idea why this took so goddamned long. I could blame a lot of things, but it all comes back to me. So, sorry everyone.

Just so you know, there will be a follow-up aside chapter to this, so stay tuned.

Suggestions and fanmail are welcome, as are the aforementioned gifts. Just keep what I said in mind.
