IMPORTANT: DO NOT SKIP OVER THIS FIRST NOTE; On my profile will be an OC form, (I know what you're all thinking 'Oh can't she think of OCs without asking us busy people?' Well I can't at the moment, too busy thinking up the story) Because guess what? This story will be a two parter, and you know how Ox, Kilik, and Kim's new kids weren't introduced? That's because I wanted to bring them in PART TWO. So if you want to be in part two send 'em in. And while you're busy creating people I can figure out what's going on in chapter 45. SO GO FORTH AND CONQUER!
HOLY SHIT BLAIR'S IN THIS CHAPTER? MIRACLES DO HAPPEN! This might be boring due to me being lazy and not wanting to write what they wear in the actual fair chapter.
Preparations Abound; More Gunpowder Then Fireworks?
LEMMY & ED'S APARTMENT
"Do you think we have enough snacks?" Lemmy asked rhetorically as Ed carried the grocery bags in and plopped them down in their small kitchen.
Ed scratched the back of his head, "We'll we've seen how Black*Star eats…"
She smacked her forehead, "I guess that means a quick trip to the market before picking everyone up" She glared at him, "I'll told you not to stop at Little Reapers!"
He held up a finger, "One, I was kidding, we have enough food. Two, going to Little Reapers was your idea!"
"Put the food away, we have one hour. I'm gonna go get ready." She practically growled as she walked around the corner and into the bedroom.
"Don't make me hide a Midol in a piece of cheese!" He yelled after her. She came stomping back in, wearing a shredded blue shirt with a headdress design on it and cut off, black shorts, her hair back in a ponytail, feet in black and white wedges. He saw the gold eagle in her hand and cowered, "I'M SORRY MY LOVE!"
She smirked, "Good boy." She headed for the bedroom, "I'll make sure everyone's ready." She threw him a pair of gray pants and a blue button up, "So get ready." He started reaching for the cheese, "Don't even…!"
MAKA & SOUL'S APARTMENT
"I hope they get here soon." Maka said as she paced around the living room dressed in white and red tank top with 'D City' written in black, along with white shorts and a black belt, her hair down along with white flip-flops on her feet.
"You always get wound up when the fair comes around." Soul said from the couch. He smiled his lazy smile, "Thinking you can beat me at bumper cars this year?" He wore a black V-neck shirt and distressed, dark blue jeans, his hair in its usual distress and black sneakers.
She huffed, "I have strategy on my side this year." He shook his head and she stuck her tongue out at him.
Blair came out, "I still get to go watch the fireworks with you guys again right?"
"Of course." Maka said, "Are you sure you don't wanna go to the fair with us?"
She waved them off, "Nope. I have to work tonight. But I'll see over at Lemmy's at nine okay?" She started for the door.
"Okay." Maka and Soul waved her goodbye. Maka turned and pouted at Soul, "They're still not here." She huffed, plopping down on the couch.
He put his arm around her shoulders, "Patience-"
"Is not one of my strong points." She deadpanned. He laughed.
BLACK*STAR & TSUBAKI'S FLAT
"Black*Star remember the last time you hung out the window…?" Tsubaki warned. She was dressed up in a peasant style, short sleeved white blouse, beading along the neck, and black, loose fabric pants. Her hair in a low ponytail off to one side and had on black sandals.
Black*Star was kneeling on the ledge of the window looking over the streets, "That only happened once. Besides I'm only watching the lights." He had on a hooded, short sleeve green shirt with a dark blue vest over it and light blue shorts. His hair mussed up and feet shoed in dark green sneakers.
She shook her head, "Okay Black*Star, just be careful." She walked into the kitchen.
Black*Star looked down at the streets, "When the hell is Ed and Lemmy gonna get here?"
"The fair will be open till ten." Tsubaki said walking back in with a glass of water.
He jumped off the ledge into the house, "Yeah but we're supposed to go to their place to watch fireworks at 9."
She looked out the window and saw the light of the fair starting to sparkle as the sun started going down, "It's only 6, I'm sure they'll be here soon."
"They'd better be." He huffed and she smiled at him, 'So impatient…'
DANTE & SENNA'S APARTMENT
Dante and Kim sat on the couch in the living room. He wore a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with a very deep V-neck and bright white skinny jeans, most of his hair under a black and brown beanie, green and white sneakers on his feet. She had on an off-the-shoulder lavender shirt and white miniskirt. She had a pink sequined baseball cap turned backwards along with matching sequined sneakers.
He yawned, "I don't think I'm gonna make it to 9 at this rate."
She eyed him, "And why are you so tired?"
He straightened up, "Well I had a very tasking mission four days ago…"
"Says the one who sat in the background." Senna said stepping out of her bedroom and into the living room. She had a dark purple colored strapless shirt under a black jacket with the sleeves pushed up and plum colored shorts. Her hair was back in a ponytail and had on knee high black boots. She walked to the middle of the room blocking the TV, "I mean hell, if you're gonna complain about having to go on a mission at least admit what you did on it."
He looked her up and down, "Someone's excited for their date?" He said changing the subject.
She blushed slightly, "T-That's no… STOP CHANGING THE FUCKING SUBJECT!" She yelled.
He rolled his eyes, "No wonder it's your first date. Not like that kind of language has the boys chasing you."
Kim smacked his arm hard, "Dante! How insensitive!"
Senna rolled her eyes, "Don't worry Kim it's just leftover from when he used to be an asshole. And Dante from what I've noticed this is practically a group date."
Kim nodded, "She's right. Everyone's basically paired up."
He rubbed his sore arm, "Yeah… Well… Gah, when is Lemmy and Ed gonna get here?"
IN THE HALLWAY
"This is embarrassing." Ragnarok said he looked at Crona's hair, smoothed back thanks to Marie's efforts.
"I know but there's nothing we can do about it." Crona sighed. He was dressed in black jeans and a dark purple button up, black dress shoes clicking in the hall.
Ragnarok grinned, "Oh yes there is!" He started brushing and screwing with the pink hair ignoring the protests of its owner, "There! Now you don't look half bad!" He cocked his head to the side, "Well… you look good enough for that chick." Crona put his hand to his head to find Ragnarok had smoothed it back into its normal position.
"Thank you." Crona said putting his hand down. He finally reached the door and raised his hand to knock.
Senna opened the door, "Oh hi Crona! Hi Ragnarok!" She said with a smile. She looked him over and giggled, "We match."
He smiled back slightly, "I guess w-we do." Senna was about to say something but Dante interrupted her by shouting,
"ARE LEMMY AND ED FINALLY FREAKING HERE?!" Senna and, surprisingly, Crona both glared at him and Kim smacked his arm again, "OW!"
Senna sighed, "I'm going to kill him one day…" Crona smiled and mouthed, 'I'll help.'
GALLOW'S MANOR
Kid walked into the foyer, "Are they here yet?" He asked. He wore a white, short sleeved button up with two black crosses, one on each shoulder, dark blue jeans hanging loose. His hair was in its usual place and he had on his usual black shoes.
"They'll be here soon." Liz said, "Lemmy called and said complications were in effect." She had on a dark green tank top and light plum skinny jeans studded up the side. Her hair was held back by a black headband and she had on black flats.
"I wonder what the complications were…?" Patty wondered aloud. She was dressed in a cropped sky blue T-shirt and a pair of light yellow capris, a small heart pendant necklace around her neck. Her hair was clipped on one side with a small butterfly barrette and she had yellow wedged flip-flops.
Kid groaned and Liz had to suppress a laugh, "I bet it started with a gold eagle…" Liz smiled.
"Yes, and ended with a romp." Kid sighed and sat in one of the chairs near the front door, "Have a seat. We're gonna be here a while."
Patty pouted and Liz smirked, "Awwe, does someone want a romp?"
Kid felt his cheeks redden, "I… Well…" He coughed, "I will not discuss this in front of Patty." He said quickly as he looked away.
She rolled her eyes, "Have it your way." She sauntered over and sat next to him, "Just remember… Someone's birthday is coming up."
He rolled his eyes, "Don't remind me. The way father is around this Dovie woman, I'm beginning to think I should start calling her 'mommy'." Patty and Liz shuddered.
BLOOD & ELLIOT'S HOUSE
Elliot danced Jackie around the living room, "See? Waiting can be fun." He was dressed in a white, long sleeved Henley tee with the sleeves rolled up, his bracelets jingling and black jeans held up with a black belt. His hair had its usual curl and black shoes.
She chuckled, "I guess you're right." She had on navy blue velvet, short sleeved shirt and dark red cargo shorts held up with silver belt. Her black hair was in high bun, bangs out, along with black ankle boots.
He danced her around the room more after pushing the glass coffee table out of the way as Alannah Miles' "Black Velvet" was coming from the stereo and Jackie sang along and he dipped her, "A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees, Black Velvet if you please." She started laughing and he joined in.
Blood came around the corner, a scowl on his face, "Why is it we have to wait for them to come pick us up?!" He yelled over the music, "I could easily drive us!" He wore a gray striped dress shirt under a tailored leather jacket and untucked from his blue jeans. His hair disheveled more as he ran his hand through it and his dress shoes were replaced with white sneakers.
Elliot sighed as the song changed to "Dance with the Devil", fitting the now dry atmosphere of the room, "Because we want to make it there! Not die in that death trap you call a car!" He called over the music, not intending to turn it down. Blood pouted and Elliot smirked down at Jackie, "Don't you dare look at him in the eye." He remarked, singing with the song.
She smiled and shook her head as she removed herself from his arms and walked over to turn the music down, "Sorry Blood, but Lemmy insisted on having us chauffeured to the fair and to their house. She said their van was the best way to keep track of all the blankets."
He rolled his eyes, "I don't see why we have to bring blankets?"
Elliot shrugged, "Would you rather sit on the hard cement of the roof? You be grateful we have such nice friends who invite us over. Hell Black*Star, Soul, Dante, and Kid went all out to buy fireworks we can light after the show's over."
Blood through his head back like a little kid, "I didn't say I wasn't grateful, I said I don't want to drag a blanket through the fair!" He whined.
"THEREIN LYING THE REASON FOR THE VAN!" Jackie and Elliot yelled. Jackie smacked her head, "Sheesh… did his new hearing aid break also?"
Blood stood there for a minute before speaking, "I GET IT! They're bringing the van so we won't have to look like idiots carrying blankets around the fair!" He said triumphantly, thinking he realized it, "And you said the van was a stupid idea."
Jackie and Elliot stared blankly at him, thought ranging from, 'If I fucking murder him… How many people will miss him?' to, 'I'm one of the people on the life insurance policy. Maybe I can make it look like an accident…' They shook their heads when they heard the familiar honk of Ed's van. Elliot fell to his knees, arms raised above his head and looking to the ceiling, "THANK YOU!" He grabbed Jackie's hand and they raced out the door, leaving Blood to carry the pile of blankets.
He glared at the blankets, "Now what…?"
