(A/N:) "I'm so sorry for the short chapter! I'm such a failed idiot who can't write a decent chapter! *crawls in a Chrona corner* I PROMISE this one will be at least twice as longer! And with more suspense! I planned it out at school during Leadership when I was talking to my friend Gianna, arguing about Catholicism!" Appleblx says.
"You're Catholic?" Justin asks.
" Yup! A devout one too!"
"High Five!" Justin High fives Appleblx
Maka cuts the silence. " Appleblx will NEVER own me. Or else Soul Eater wouldn't exist due to her procrastination, or she would make everybody stabbed in the guts and put in a coma for the rest of our lives."
"Well I'm SORRY for being such a sadistic!"
" You should be."
"I changed the Author's note style because I was breaking the rules like this!" Appleblx finishes. "Enjoy the story!"

Maka Albarn
I found a mission on the mission board to vanquish a witch. I asked to sign up for it.
"C'mon, Soul, let's go."
Before we could get out of the DWMA building, I stopped when I heard a few students gossipping.
"Did you hear about Lord Death?"
"No... What about him?"
"I heard he had been missing for a whole week!"
"Oh My Gosh! Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, I heard that he's got a date!"
"I bet you made that up!"
"Lol, yeah I did!" A fit of giggles.
Lord Death? Missing for a week? How could that be possible? He was Death!
"I thought we were supposed to go hunt this witch lady," Soul reminded me.
"Yeah... you're right." We walked out for our opportunity to make Soul a death scythe.

Black Star
"Hey, look! Soul and Maka couldn't stand being such low people in the presence of THE Great BLACK STAR!" I shouted. Obviously they noticed who was the one who surpassed God.
"Well... They are trying to get one witch soul to make Soul a death scythe," Tsubaki explained. "maybe we should go on a mission too... I mean, we are one of the best weapon-meister teams of the DWMA... but only have..." she counted with her fingers. "eleven kishin-egg souls."
"You've got a point there. YAHOO! LET'S GO KICK SOME KISHIN ASS!" I rushed to the mission board and found a three-star mission to assassinate 20 monsters.
Tsubaki smiled and followed The Great Me to sign up for a new mission.

Soul Eater Evans
We arrived at a place called Fernley. It was still in Nevada, that's why we chose it.
We were at the outside of the city when we reached the address on the mission. There wasn't really anything there, except a small cave, which was pretty suspicious, considering that caves are where creepy things happen in movies... We went in anyways.
To our surprise there was no one in sight.
"Hello?" Maka threatened. " We are students from Shibusen. Come out. You can't hide from us!"
We heard a tiny stifle.
"Hello?" Maka called out.
Just then, a snow white dog jumped out at them.
Maka jumped back, whimpering as the furry canine attacked. "Get away!" It growled at her as she had my blade close to a... piece of flesh. When Maka noticed it, the dog growled to defend the organism it belonged to.
"I-Is that..." Maka trailed off in wonder.
"It's a human girl," I finished for her. I then turned into human form and stepped next to Maka.
"Huhhh... Who's there?" She yawned, waking up. She was about elementary school aged with black hair and dull blue eyes. "Who are you?" The girl asked.
Maka's voice softened. "Hello there, I'm Maka and this is my partner, Soul. Where are your parents? Did you see anything... unusual here?"
"I-I... don't know... I don't remember... anything at all..." She trailed off, holding her head with her hands, trying to think.
Maka held a hand out for her to take. "C'mon, you can come with us."
I didn't know what Maka was doing taking an unknown child. But I hope SHE knew. I put my hands in my pockets as I followed Maka.
'Who takes in a person with amnesia who they found in a CAVE! MAKA DOES, APPARENTLY! THE IDIOT!' I thought.
~~~8* Chapter 3 *8~~~
We took the girl to our apartment to get cleaned up. Maka was giving her a bath.
When they were done, Maka came up to me.
"What do you think we should name the girl?" Maka asked.
"How about 'creepy'?" I remarked, remembering the times she stared at me blankly on the way home.
"Don't make me chop you Soul! Be more considerate! She just came back from a cave, possibly hurt by the witch, contracted amnesia, and is trying to explore the world and it's people around her." Maka defended.
"Fine. How 'bout 'Marilyn'?" I asked. It sounded pretty decent.
"I like the name Marilyn," The girl responded.
Maka smiled at her. "Okay then, Marilyn it is! Now that we got that straight, would you like to eat anything? You should be hungry!" The girl nodded and Maka rushed to the kitchen to fix something up.
I went back to doing some of my personal business in my room. Blair wasn't here to disturb me, so I could do whatever I wanted without any fear of blood loss, both from the nose and head.
When I was about to take out my X-box, I felt a prickling feeling at the back of my head. When I tried to turn to see what it was, nothing was there.
'Creepy...' I thought. I went back to what I was doing. I connected the X-box to my TV. I went back to my closet to get my Halo 3 game.
"Soul..."
"GAAAHHHHH! WHO'S THERE?" I shouted, horrified.
"Marilyn. Soul is your name, right?" It was just the girl.
"Y-yeah... how did you get here?" The door open to my room had answered my question... Wait... How did the door open without me hearing any noise? It was a pretty squeaky door...
"Oh... Okay..." Seriously... This girl was giving me the creeps. "I'm going back to get my dog..."
"B-back to... Fernley?" Marilyn nodded. "But the dogs right at our front porch..."
"Oh..." She nodded. She had such a soft, creepy voice. It was freaky, I tell you!
I rejoiced as soon as she got out of my room. I turned on my TV. "Yes... finally a day to myself... Before Maka's going to make us go on another mission..." I really don't know why I'm talking to myself, but okay.
"I have him..." Again, the creaky door had been open without any noise. Marilyn had her white dog. "Can you play with us?"
Aww damn... first she sneaks up on me, creeps me out, and expects me to play with her. Well, I couldn't play with little creepy kids right now, so this was the best time to play dead. Maka would give me points for that right? I immediately fell to the ground, and tried to make it look natural.
"Soul?" I heard her say. "Soul?" Jeez! No one I knew could ever say my name that creepily! Not even Maka! Seriously, there were some strange things about this girl.
I heard her laugh and whisper quietly in the dog's ear. And it didn't sound very harmless either.

Shanon Williams
Being a young individual, I decided to take Kuromi with me to get some fresh air.
"Isn't today such a nice day?" I asked .
"Hmm... Not really..." She responded.
"Uhh... why not?"
"Because I need an apple. Fuji. NOW." She twitched her eye.
"Oh. Then lets go to the supermarket..." I giggled. "Are you okay?"
"No. I have a hunger only a fuji apple can stop. I need one now."
"Oh... Okay."
On our way there, we saw Eruki and Tsuki next to a broken street lamp.
"Y-you broke it!" Tsuki said.
"I couldn't help that there were frikin mosquitoes up there!"
"They were moths... AND YOU BROKE THE STREET LAMP!" She immediately started trying to climb the pole.
I ran up to them "Hey! What's up?"
"THE DAMN BROKEN STREET LAMP IS UP THAT WILL GREATLY BOTHER ME TO DEATH FOREVER IF I DON'T FIX IT RIGHT NOW; I NEED TO FIX IT !" Tsuki replied.
"Oh." I looked up to her, but she slipped down. "Need help up there...?"
Apparently Tsuki was feeling independent right now. "NO! I shall fix it myself!"
She now slipped all the way down.
Eruki slapped her. "Damnit! We were wasting our time at a dumb pole that was none of our business when we could have been doing something useful!"
"Like... fixing that street lamp?"
"NO! LIKE MAKING ME THE BEST WARRIOR OF SHIBUSHEN YOU IDIOT!"
"I really don't think..." Tsuki stopped mid sentence.
Eruki stepped closer to the girl. "Think what, huh?"
"Nevermind!"
"That's what I thought!"
Wow, that's one intense conversation, I thought.
"Don't worry about the street lamp, I'll fix it!" I immediately began climbing the pole. It was pretty easy for me to get to the top with my rubber shoes.
"WAIT!" Tsuki shouted.
"What is it, Tsu-cha?" I asked while using my alchemical powers to fix the light post.
"Nooo!" She screamed running away. "IT'S NOT BOTHERING ME... WAIT... IT IS! AHHH!"
I slid down, where Eruki confronted me. "So, your actually a witch?" She twitched her eye. Kuromi was behind me, glaring at the blonde punk.
"No, I'm a-"
"Witches aren't allowed in the DWMA. Did you hear about what happened to Medusa? I'll make sure you'll be rid of."
"You idiot, Shanon isn't a witch, she's a-"
"Shut up, Kuromi. No one needs to know." I returned Eruki's unfriendly expression to her and turned away. We returned to our route in search of a Fuji apple, while that punky woman scowled at us until she disappeared from sight.

Tsuki Yoshino
I found a nice place to stay for a while under a nice apple tree. The apples weren't blooming yet, but the tree was covered in beautiful pink blossoms.
I tried to get the image of broken things out of the way while listening to Hard core metal on my ipod. So relaxing getting things like Eruki and exploding panda-kitties out of the way with drums and electric guitars...
I remembered what I was about to say to Eruki. "I don't think you'll EVER get to be even CLOSE to even the top 100 meisters in Shibusen. You're just too stupid and Eruki-like and listen to dumb rap. HAHAHA! BUURN IN MY XD8 BULLETS YOU BITCHHH!"
Well, maybe I wouldn't say something like that to her. She'd literally kill me. But it was fun imagining it. Then getting a REAL XD8, which was actually a XD9, but I like 8 better, and shooting her to death. I would laugh hysterically.
But that would never happen. I am just too cowardly, and I wouldn't be able to afford an XD9, let alone try to find one. And also, my tongue would be too virgin to shout it out in front of my friends. And they would think I had psychological problems. But I kinda did...
Oh well, I thought holding a flower from the ground and tearing it apart, petal by petal. I guess I just have to wait until she dies of malaria by getting bit by a mosquito,and while dieing, she shall bow down to me, saying 'Oh, Tsuki, you are just too good to be my weapon! I guess this is just my punishment for wielding something beyond my importance...' melodramatically.

Death the Kid
It's been a whole entire week since anyone has seen my dad. I wondered where he was.
Patty was running around the pathway, giggling.
A few days ago, Liz had finally convinced me to stop trying to practice that move. "How do you expect to accomplish something that you can't do?" She had said. "You're probably right. Your dad can help. But he's NOT HERE."
Patty and I decided to take a little walk out when Liz told us not to bother her when she was trying to wax her nails.
"Hey Kid!" Patty shouted at me in the middle of my thought process.
"Whaddya want?" I yelled with my eye twitching.
"There's an old woman at our gate!" Indeed there was.
She was taller than average women, with jet black hair with gray hairs visible, and a white ferret had surrounded her neck. She wore a black dress, flowing to the ground.
"Hey, Lady! What're you doing at our mansion, huh?" Patty shouted.
"Patty, I don't really think that's very polite," I looked at my partner.
Patty stuck her tongue at me."Hmmph."
I looked back to the place where the lady was. Except she wasn't there anymore.
"Where'd she go?" Patty tilted her head.
I slitted my eyes. "I don't know..." I don't know about Patty, but I sure think there was something VERY peculiar about her.
