"So what's this 'important' mission my father decided that these maniacs are supposed to do?" Kid asked Kilik as the others got ready.

"I'm not allowed to tell you." Kilik said.

"Why the hell not!?" Kid snapped.

"Someone's feisty." Sammy chuckled.

"Should we get Black-Star to rub it out?" Haley suggested.

"Rub what out?" Black-Star asked.

"Don't worry about it." Tsubaki patted her meister's shoulder.

"I love that she gets it." Vickii chuckled.

"I don't." Kid muttered.

"Are you guys ready yet?" Kilik asked.

"Put on a jacket." Sheyla snapped at Sammy.

"Why? It's warm out." Sammy protested.

"It's snowing!" Sheyla exclaimed.

"Warm snow?" Sammy shrugged.

"You are not getting hypothermia." Lance stated and threw Sammy's jacket on top of her. "Put it on."

"But-"

"Now." Lance and Sammy had a stare-off for a second before Sammy muttered curses under her breath and put her jacket on.

"Happy?" She said and held out her arms. Lance stepped forward and zipped up Sammy's jacket.

"There."

"So cute." JJ and Michelle said together.

"Shut up." Sammy said with a roll of her eyes.

"You're blushing." Vickii sang.

"I don't blush." Sammy stated and crossed her arms.

"Sure you don't."

"We don't have all day." Kilik said, tapping his foot impatiently.

"Let's go!" Sammy said and ran out of the house.

x~x~x

"Jesus fucking Christ! It's cold as hell out here!" Sammy shouted over the wind.

"Aren't you happy you put your coat on?" Sheyla asked.

"How much farther?" Kid asked Kilik.

"Another mile." Kilik answered.

"I think I'm going to die." Michelle said, shivering next to Haley as the two girls walked together.

"We can make it." Peter said with a silent, frozen JJ holding him as they walked as well.

"We were fine in Death City, but the moment we're out of there, it's cold as balls." Paul stated. "Did we piss off mother nature or something?"

"She's probably upset that she didn't have a valentine." Haley said.

"That is no excuse!" Sheyla shouted. "None of us do either and we're not trying to turn people into ice statues."

"Sammy and JJ do, she's probably pissed at them." Vickii suggested.

"I just got mine an hour ago, she can get over it!" Sammy said.

"Nice to know you finally admit your cannon." JJ said, his voice a little muffled from Peter's scarf.

"Now is not the time!" Sammy snapped.

"When is the time?"

"When I'm not frozen to the core!"

"But isn't your heart frozen?"

"Just let it go!"

"Let it go!" Michelle sang and soon the others joined in.

"We're here!" Kilik announced over the group's singing.

"What is this place?" Lance asked.

"Somewhere that the DWMA doesn't visit." Kilik chuckled and slowly opened the door. "Welcome...to club Kilik."

"What!?" Kid shouted as the others cheered and ran into the building.

"Balloons!" Michelle squealed and grabbed the closest one and hugged it.

"Took you guys long enough." Soul chuckled as he and Maka drank from red solo cups.

"Hi Kid!" Patty waved her hand while Liz sat on a couch with Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder. Ox, Kim, Jacqueline and Harvard were all gathered around an old-fashioned pinball machine. Kid grabbed Kilik by the front of his shirt.

"Club Kilik?" He asked between his teeth.

"I figured they would go insane trapped inside of the house and this place is completely safe."

"Have you meet these people? Nowhere is safe!" Kid pushed Kilik away and rubbed the sides of his head.

"I've checked the area Kid, we're the only souls here." Maka said.

"Come on Kiddo, have some fun!" Black-Star called from the top of a stack of crates, Tsubaki sat on a smaller stack on crates and sipped from a red cup.

"Have some punch, it's really good." Michelle handed the shinigami a cup, while still holding a balloon.

"What is it?" Kid asked Kilik.

"It's fruit punch with rainbow sherbet, calm yourself." Kilik chuckled before wondering off into the crowd.

"Leedle!" Sammy called out as she jumped off of the tallest stack of crates into a large pile of pillows, cushions and mattresses.

"You're going to kill yourself!" Lance and Sheyla both snapped at the girl.

"I wanna do it again!" Sammy laughed and stumbled to her feet.

"No, no you don't." Lance said and grabbed Sammy, dragging her away from the pile.

"Look out!" Vickii shouted as she jumped off of the stack next.

"Yahoo!" Black-Star jumped off of the crates without waiting for Vickii to get out of the way.

"No sex!" JJ shouted.

"You wish you could witness it!" Vickii shouted back.

"Gross." Haley and Paul said. Lance started laughing when Sammy tickled him to get away.

"That laugh though." Paul chuckled. Sammy climbed up the crates and without looking down to see if the coast was clear, she jumped.

"Am I going to have to tie you down?" Lance asked, looking down at Sammy, who was laying on top of the pile and laughing.

"If only you use the zebra duct tape." She chuckled.

"Don't tempt me." Lance muttered and helped Sammy up.

"Sance!" Haley called.

"Could I borrow the tape first?" Sammy asked with a smirk and a wink at Haley.

"Maybe this isn't that bad of an idea." Kid admitted to Kilik. "They won't ask to go on missions if they're too busy playing here and it's unlikely that something horrible will happen."

"There's a person!" Maka shouted over the others and soon the whole room was quiet.

"Maybe I spoke too soon." Kid said and shoved his cup at Kilik. "Where."

"I...I don't know." Maka said. "The soul keeps appearing, then disappearing, I can't get a good read on it."

"Where is it now?"

"I-" Maka stopped when a woman appeared behind Sheyla and stabbed the girl in the neck with a syringe and injected her with a black liquid.

"Sheyla!"
