Hey Guys, I know this is a short chapter but I'm working on a longer chapter to post today! :) I know a lot of you were wondering what it was going to be like when Maka left like how people reacted and stuff but I'm saving that for another chapter in the future! :) I really hope you like this chapter though.

I do not own Soul Eater or its Characters

Present Day On The Way to Death City.

"Maka, please talk to papa." My idiotic father begs me for the tenth time in an hour. "What am I suppose to say papa? I don't want to be here. Mama is just stubborn and won't let me stay by myself, if it was up to me, I'd be curled up in my bed reading my book."

I huff and look out the window as we enter the deserts of Nevada; I already miss all the grass and palm trees. "Maka, I know you are an adult now I mean you are 19 but mama has good reasons to be worried. I bought you a welcome back present." Papa tells me and tosses me a set of keys.

"What's this for papa?" I ask and raise an eyebrow. "Your new present." He says with a smile. "Well what is it?!" I ask excitedly. "You'll just have to wait and see we will be there in a few minutes are you ready to see everyone they all missed you dearly?" Papa asks and I nod, "Yeah I missed them all to." I lie I only missed my friends not everybody.

My plan is to avoid Soul at all costs; I'm meeting the others at a coffee house just around the block from our old school. I want this to be a memorable summer with my best friends that I haven't seen in years and Soul will ruin that for me. I'm not about to forgive him for everything that he did to me for 7 years.

"Well that's good, here we are!" My papa points to a large apartment complex. "Come on get out come check out your new place." My jaw drops to the floor and I can't breathe. "Wait, you got me my own apartment!?" I ask and look at the keys in my hand.

"Well you are an adult and its exactly 6 minutes away from my house. Your old school is 10 minutes away, and all your friends if I'm not mistaken live pretty close to here. Do you like it?" My papa asks and I jump for joy. "PAPA OF COURSE! I LOVE IT!" I say and jump into him giving him the biggest hug I've ever given him.

"I'm so glad my little angel is home." He cries into my black tank top. "Okay come on lets go see inside." I run up the steps and unlock the door that says 42 on it. I open the door and it's completely furnished.

"Its perfect papa, you are absolutely amazing!" I run into a bedroom and see that it has my old bed in it and my bookshelf that I had to leave when I moved. "It's a two bedroom apartment I thought that since you haven't seen your friends in a while you could have guests over and stuff, but you have to promise me that you will NOT bring any boys here." I laugh "It's perfect and thank you papa. I won't bring any boys here except for Crona and Kid though okay." I smile and he nods stiffly.

"I'll let you unpack. I'm right down the road so don't hesitate to call or come by okay. Papa loves his angel." He kisses my forehead and walks out the door and I giggle. He really has grown up since the last time I saw him. When the door closes I hear papa yell, "MY LITTLE ANGEL IS BACK! NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME. HEY YOU COME HERE I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY ANGEL!" I laugh to myself. I guess he hasn't grown that much.

A few hours later I'm all unpacked, my dresser is filled with my clothes and the bathroom has all my things in it. I'm all set to live here for the summer. I look at my phone and see that I have to be at the coffee shop in half hour. "Shit," I curse under my breath and ran to my dresser and pulled out white booty shorts and left on my black tank top. I pulled my hair out of pigtails and brushed it down. Grabbed my white messenger bag and hung it over my shoulder and ran out the door.

When I was walking down the streets I Ran into several people I knew. Like Ms. Marie and her husband Stein, they didn't recognize me so I had to remind them a little. I also ran into Sid and Nygus, Black*Stars adoptive parents. They remembered me after a few minutes. I didn't think I looked all that different. Sure I've grown a lot and my hair is longer and I'm taller then I was back then. I'm not that tit-tits little girl anymore and I'm proud of that.

After a little while longer I reached the café 10 minute early. I sit down at our reserved table and picked up a menu. I hear the door open several times and I give up looking each time. Then I get a pat on both of my shoulders and I smile already knowing who it is.

I look up and smile and I see Kid with a confused look on his face. "HI KID!" I jump into his arms and give him a big hug, he doesn't give it back though, and I pull back. "What's wrong Kid?" I ask and he smiles a little, "Maka is that you?" "Of course it's me who else would it be?" I laugh and I hear Liz from behind Kid say, "Your insanely hot twin sister that you never told us about." "LIZ!" we give each other a hug and we all sit down. "Where are Patty, Crona and Tsubaki?" I ask and take a bite of my French toast. They both look at each other and smile. "Well Patty and Crona should be here any-"they get cut off by the swinging open to reveal a very wild looking Patty holding Crona's hand. "Minute" Kid finishes and laughs. "Hey Patty Hi Crona!" I walk over to them and Patty laughs while Crona's eyes look like frying pans. "Ma-maka is that y-you?" he asks and I nod. "Why is everybody asking that?" I give them both huge hugs and we all go sit down at the table.

"Because Maka you look totally different!" Patty laughs. "I do?" I look at them and they all nod quickly. "Yeah, did you get a boob job while you were gone?" Liz asks and I blush ten shades of red. "HELL NO!" I yell and they all laugh. "Well you sure aren't the little shrimp you were when you left!" Patty says and we laugh harder. "I think you look nice Maka." Crona smiles and I giggle, "Thanks Crona. You all look good too." I say and look at them all again.

Kid is taller probably around 6 feet and he's pretty muscular to. He's wearing black jeans and a white t-shirt with the number 88 on it and I giggle. His hair is longer and still has the three white strips in it. Liz is also taller at about 5'8 and her dirty blonde hair is resting on her shoulders. Patty looks a little taller maybe about 5'5 and her bright golden hair is still as short and bouncy as ever. Crona is tall to, around 5'10 his pink hair is a little lighter and it looks like he just got it cut recently. He's wearing blue loose jeans and a black t-shirt with a large white X on it. They all look great the years have been great to them that's for sure.

"God I missed you guys so much. So what's new with you guy's? Kid, you said you and Liz wanted to tell me something in your text?" I ask and take a sip of my strawberry smoothie. They look at each other and smile and hold up their entwined hands and I stare at it for a second before it clicks.

"AWWW! How long have you been going out?" I ask with big smile. They laugh and Liz says, "A year and a half right after Crona and Patty got together." She nods her head to Patty and Crona and they both laugh at my expression. "ARE YOU SERIOUS? You guys really got together! That's so CUTE!" We all laugh.

"Really we thought you would be I don't know upset or something." Kid says and I laugh, "No way! I'm so happy for you guys! It was bound to happen sooner or later." They all nod and I see Tsubaki come into the café I jump and run over to her. "MAKA!" She yells.

She's the only one who recognized me from first sight. "TSUBAKI!" we laugh and give each other a huge hug and we head to the table. "You look great Maka!" she says and I smile. "Thank you, so do you! I mean look at you!" I say and look at her she's taller then me at about 5'8 and a half and her long black hair is in a high ponytail and still reaches the middle of her back if she took it out I wouldn't be surprised if it hit the floor.

She blushes and giggles. "You have grown up a lot Maka, I missed you so much!" she tells me and hugs me again and I gladly except. "I missed you too," I pull away and look at all of them again; "I missed all of you!" we sit down and start to talk about everything for 2 hours when Liz asks.

"So Maka do you have a hot California boyfriend or something?" she asks and I blush. "N-no. I don't like to date." I tell her honestly. And she stares at me. "Have you had a boyfriend since you left?" I don't answer. She screams, "MAKA! What is wrong with you?" "I don't know guys ask all the time I just don't want a boyfriend, to much trouble." I say and cross my arms over my chest.

I look over to Tsubaki and smile, "What about you Tsubaki? Do you have a boyfriend?" she nods quickly and I perk up a little. "Well who is it do I know him?" she nods again and I raise an eyebrow. "Well who is it?" she whispers a name that I can't hear. "Say that again." I lean closer and she looks up at me. "It's Black*Star." She says and I gulp loudly. "Are you serious? Your actually his girlfriend for how long?" I question. "4 years." She says and looks at me with wide eyes. "Holy fucking Shit." I mumble. And then I laugh.

"I'm so happy for you Tsubaki, you've had a thing for him for as long as I can remember." I say and she sighs happily and so does everybody else. "Thanks Maka I thought you were going to be mad at me or something." She giggle a little and I say, "Of course not! He picked on me when I was younger, but If I remember correctly he never picked on you." I smile and Liz looks at her watch.

"Oh hey Maka, we are going to a bon fire tonight. It's kind of a welcome back party thing for you. You wanna head out?" She asks and I nod happily. "Everybody should be there. We invited all are old school mates and people like that." Kid says and I nod getting a bad feeling in my stomach but I shake it off and we walk out of the coffee shop and make our way to the desert at 9:00 p.m.
