Angela ran excitedly through the crowd, wondering how she would meet her partner. I better get a girl partner… if it's a boy, Mifune might kill him! She thought while looking around.

The more she looked around, the more she realized that everyone was already partnered. Angela almost felt weighted down as the realization began to sink in. What if I can't find anyone? What if I'm the only meister without a weapon? Do they know I'm a witch, is that why they won't approach me? I'm using Soul Protect like Mifune and Lord Death have told me…

But then, a loud voice interrupted her thoughts. "Angela! Angela!" Sid yelled, moving his way though the crowd of first years. "Angela Leon! Please come with me!"

She walked slowly though the crowd, unaware that everyone was parting to let her pass, unaware of the whispers of the crowd, [Who is she? How'd she get in trouble so quick? I don't want to be her weapon, that's for sure.] unaware of everything besides the fact that Sid had called her.

"Sid, what is it?" she asked worriedly.

Sid looked at her gravely and replied, "We're going to see Lord Death. Let's go."

Before she could react, Sid took Angela's wrist and dragged her to the Death Room while everyone watched.

While they were walking, Angela's head, which was bubbling with questions before, was now absolutely bursting with them. Why are we going to the Death Room? Am I expelled? Is it because I don't have a partner? Maybe I'll just be training with Kim and Mifune for now on. She sighed worriedly.

"Hm? What is it?" Sid asked.

"Sid, why are we going to the Death Room? What did I do wrong?" she asked quietly.

He hesitated before replying, "You didn't do anything wrong … When I was alive, I could handle women better. I think it'd better to hear it from Lord Death himself rather than me telling you."

"… alright then."

Probably something bad… she thought to herself dryly, Sid's just sugar coating it.

They walked the rest of the way in an awkward silence.

When they got to the Death Room, Death came to greet them.

"Hiya! What brings you two here today?"

"Um, Lord Death? You told me to bring Angela here." Sid reminded him.

"Ah yes! Sorry, I was catching up with a good friend of mine."

At this, Lord Death gestured to the man sitting at the skull coffee table. He was wearing a lab coat, with a stitched grey shirt underneath. There was a large bolt at the side of his head, and he wore glasses. Finally, there seemed to be stitches on his cheek, which made Angela squeamish just thinking about how he'd got that cut.

"S-Stein!" Sid exclaimed, surprised. "Where were you these last five years? You disappeared without a trace."

"Oh, I've been out and about," Stein replied nonchalantly, "When the witch Cecilia was awakened, I was sent to South America to deal with her."

"So she's dead?" Sid asked doubtfully.

"Yes. Maka did quite a number on her." Stein replied, "I'll talk to you about that later Lord Death. I have a class to teach."

And with that, Stein left without another word.

"Um, who was that?" Angela asked, still looking behind her.

"Stein is one of our teachers at the Academy. He's a three star meister, and one of the best meisters that the academy has ever trained. He's very strong, good enough to defeat a witch." Lord Death explained.

"So… if he's good enough to kill a fully developed witch, then he could kill me in a single blow…" she said, looking down.

"Don't worry! Stein won't kill you. You're under my protection, and don't forget, you're not effected by the sway of magic just yet. And we'll do everything we can to suppress that nature as long as possible." Lord Death reassured her.

"So say I'm taken over by this "sway of magic", will you guys kill me then?" Angela questioned Lord Death with a stern stare.

"Well if worse comes to worse… well that's enough about that. So Angela, why did you come here?"

"Lord Death, you called me here remember? That's why Sid brought me." She pointed over to Sid who was sitting down at the coffee table.

"Ah right. So Angela, since you are a witch, you can't partner up with just anyone. You need someone special to match your unique wavelength. And we've found the best choice for you."

She could feel the relief wash though her, they were getting a weapon for her, that's all. No expulsion, or anything serious. And they won't kill her too.

Angela looked around for her new partner, but no one was there other than Sid and Lord Death.

"Where is she?" she asked, still looking around for her new partner.

"Huh?" Lord Death looked around too, but there was no one in sight.

"I asked Spirit to get the girl for me, but he isn't here yet…" he sighed, "You can never trust anything with that man, I swear."

Angela giggled, as she knew Spirit, an idiot who was hopeless at everything he did, and even his own daughter didn't like him much. But he was still very funny, and was very nice too.

"Angela," Lord Death said in an unusually serious tone, "Your partner does not know that you are a witch. And you can't tell her, unless I tell you to. Alright?"

Angela nodded, and said, "Don't worry! I wouldn't want to scare off my weapon right?"

Suddenly, Spirit came running in, dragging a girl in tow. She was slightly taller than Angela, and her hair was dark grey and in pigtails. It trailed down to her mid thigh. Her eyes were a light blue, and looked very nervous, as she was looking down and fiddling with her hair. She was wearing a plain long sleeved black shirt, which was under a plain white shirt, black skinny jeans and black and white boots to match.

"This is the girl you were looking for, right Lord Death?" Spirit asked, looking at the girl and scratching his head, "Aria Summers?"

"Yes, yes, good job Spirit." Lord Death said hastily. "Alright, Angela, this is your new Weapon Partner, Aria Summers. Aria, this is Angela Leon. You will be partners, as your soul wavelengths are perfect for each other. So, say hello and get acquainted!"

"Hello! Nice to meet you Aria!" Angela smiled. Aria looked down nervously and muttered, "Nice to meet you too."

"We should go to class now! Mifune will be mad if we're late!" Angela giggled, ran off, dragging Aria with her.

And with that, Angela and Aria would be starting off their first year of school together.

A/N: Oh gosh, sorry for the rough ending bit there, it was kinda hard to end it off XD So now Angela has a weapon partner! Ahhh you have no idea how long it took to pump out this chapter XD the main thing was trying to figure out how Aria was going to look, act like, how she and Angela would meet, ect. And deciding what she'd turn into, which will be explained in the next chapter. I was thinking of making Aria a boy… but I don't want shipping to be the main focus of the story. And the reason why I made Angela less happy in this chapter is because she's the type of person who's emotions are very easy to read, and can change easily. Like she can be sad by one thing for one minute, but then do something to try to make her happy, she'll be happy. And she's also smart too… but she's not… bad athletically, but def. weaker than the other meisters she's going to meet. Oh, if you're wondering, Stein won't play as much as a role in this, as Mifune technically subs over for him as the main mentor person for Angela, but you will see him in the future ^_^ Also, either the next chapter or the chapter after it will explain where Mifune was going... spooky stuff huh? :P Please, Rate and Review! X3 I can only make this better with feedback from you guys~
