Yo! Shadowmistx98 here! :D

Uhuh! Eighth chapter is right here! *does a little dance*

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater.

Maka opened her eyes the next morning. She did not believe what happened last night. She was going out on a date… With Soul. She suddenly felt the shivers down on her spine as she blushed. She shrugged it and went out of bed. She did her daily usual morning routine and got to school using her skates. When she got to her school she took it off and went to her classroom. Liz and Patty were there but the other three weren't.

"Good morning!" Maka greeted the sisters.

"Oh, hi, Maka!" Liz smiled at her. Maka smiled back and went to her seat. As soon as she went to her seat Tsubaki and the boys went in the room. Tsubaki greeted her as usual and sat beside her. Black Star saluted at Maka before he sat down and Soul smiled at her softly. Maka smiled back.

"Why did you arrive just now? You always come early before me?" Maka asked Tsubaki.

"I had to clean a few things…" Tsubaki sighed. Maka smiled as Tsubaki laid her head on her desk. She knew that she had a hard time with the boys, especially last night where it got a little out of hand between them. After a few hours, the bell rang for lunch break. They went out of the classroom and they saw Kid.

"Oh, Kid!" Liz's eyes sparkled and ran to him.

"Oh! A pleasant afternoon to you, Liz!" he smiled. The gang followed her.

"I'd like you to meet my friends! This is Maka, Tsubaki, Black Star, Soul and my sister, Patty!" Liz excitedly introduced them. Kid nodded in acknowledgement.

"It's nice to meet you!" he greeted.

"Well, we're going to have lunch in the cafeteria, you can come with us if you want" Tsubaki invited him.

"I would love to!" Kid said. Black Star seemed a little envious with how Tsubaki invited him.

"Let's go then!" Tsubaki said and they went downstairs in the cafeteria. As they sat down they saw Kid wipe the seat of the chair before sitting down. They all sweat dropped.

"So, you and Liz are dating?" Black Star asked straightforwardly. Liz's eyes widened and shot a glare to him saying 'Oh, you did not just do that Black Star! You're so dead when he leaves!'.

"Well, as a matter of fact, yes. We have been" he gleefully said.

"Black Star, be more respectful… He's a member of the student council" Maka whispered to Black Star.

"Oh, is he?" he whispered back. "So, you're a member of the student council, huh?"

Maka face palmed.

"Yes…" Kid smiled. "And I would like you to know that the current savings of the school is 1111…"

They all looked at him with jaws dropped.

"And that's what I like about you!" Liz grabbed his arm.

"And you Liz, is the embodiment of perfection" he said back. Black Star covered his mouth.

"I think I'm going to be sick" he said. Patty laughed. "Suck it in" Maka whispered to him. They had a few conversations and it finally landed to the part where Soul and Maka didn't want to talk about in public.

"Hey guys, did you know that Soul and Maka have a date tonight?" Black Star asked for it. Maka grabbed the nearest book and smashed it onto his head.

"Really?" Liz slammed the table with a wide grin on her face. Tsubaki remained calm because she already knew this.

"That is so cool, Maka!" Patty giggled.

"Well, y-yeah but…" Maka avoided eye contact with Soul and Soul did the same while they blushed.

"That's nice, you two are getting along quite well" Liz winked at Soul. Soul threw her a look. They continued to eat and Black Star was still unconscious. They stood up and went upstairs to their classrooms.

"Um, Maka… Speaking of later tonight…. I'll pick you up by 6?" Soul shyly asked.

"Um, s-sure. Six would be good" she smiled at him. Soul smiled back. After enduring the last few hours of school they went outside and got home.

Maka rubbed her neck as she went to her closet. "Hmm. What to wear…" Maka chose from the clothes on hanger. She tried to match them. She did it a few times until she lost it.

"Urgh… I can't do this…" Maka lied down her bed massaging her forehead. She wasn't like Liz who had a perfect sense of fashion. Maka sat up and blew her bangs.

"This is my first date and I don't even know what to do!" Maka acted like a little child. This was important for her. Sure it was just a date but it wasn't just a date. IT'S A DATE WITH SOUL DAMN IT! The boy she always admired from the very start of them meeting. She began to dream about it again until a knock from the door shook her ears. She worriedly looked at the time. It was 5. No way Soul will be there one hour early. She stood up and opened the door. She was surprised when somebody covered her mouth and dragged her in her bedroom.

"No, buts!" it was Liz, Patty and Tsubaki. Patty laughed as Tsubaki laughed nervously. Liz ran to her closet and raided it.

"W-what are you guys doing here?" Maka asked, sweating.

"Duh! We're going to help you with clothes!" Liz answered.

"I'm already fine with that!" Maka lied.

"Oh yeah? Then what clothes did you pick right now?" Liz stopped and faced at her raising her eyebrows. Maka's eyes shifted nervously twirling her fingers.

"Ok.. Fine, I don't have any clothes decided yet…" Maka looked away. Liz sighed.

"Man, sometimes you really need to get your mind out of books!" Liz continued what she was doing.

"Um, what she means is – you need help from her when choosing clothes" Tsubaki put it on in a more soothing manner. Who knows? Maka might take that as an offensive statement. After all, she loved books so much. Liz then finally saw a perfect match.

"Here!" Liz faced Maka. Her left hand with a green plaid skirt and her right hand with a white polo shirt.

"Um, n-no… That polo shirt is tight and I-!"

"That's what I like about it! Now try it on!" Liz charged at Maka.

Liz sighed as she placed a bag of ice on her head. Patty laughed her ass off on her sister.

"Man! Now I know how Black Star feels" Liz narrowed her eyes to adjust her dizziness. Tsubaki fanned her as they sat on the couch. Then they heard a door click open. They all together faced at the direction of Maka's bedroom. Maka came out wearing what Liz had told her to wear. Liz's eyes sparkled and went to her. Maka's curved body showed with what she was wearing. The polo shirt had a few floral designs on the sides of it so it didn't look so plain.

"There! You look cool!" Liz rolled her sleeves up to her elbows neatly. Tsubaki smiled and went to her as well. She untied Maka's pigtails and brushed it. Patty went to her room and came back with the sandals she saw.

"Wow! Patty, nice pick! You really are my sister!" Liz raised her thumbs up. Patty chuckled and placed the sandals on the floor. Maka carefully removed her shoes and went to the sandals.

"Wow! You look gorgeous, Maka!" Tsubaki complimented her. "yeah! You look like a princess!" Patty followed. Liz sniffed teary eyed. "That's my girl!" she said.

Maka smiled and looked away as she blushed. "Thanks…" Maka said. That was the first time anyone had ever told her she was pretty. Probably because she didn't show it in the past years. Maka looked at the time and saw that it was a quarter to six.

"Hmm. Is Soul picking you up by six?" Liz placed a finger on her chin. Maka nodded.

"We'll be here until you come back. It's for your house to be guarded too" Tsubaki said.

"A-are you sure?" Maka asked. Patty raised her arm and nodded. "YES!"

Maka smiled. She was blessed with such good, caring and kind friends.

"Guys… Thank you for all… I owe you a lot!" Maka hugged all of them.

"It's no problem, Maka. We'll support you all the way!" Liz said as she hugged her back.

Knock Knock

"Ooh! That must be Soul!" Liz whispered and elbowed her. Maka blushed as she nodded. Maka sighed as she went to the door.

Knock Knock

Maka pulled a strand back to the side of her ear before she opened it. Soul looked at her in awe and Maka did the same. Soul was there standing and so they were in their same positions as they met. Only, Soul wasn't a delivery boy this time.

"Um, h-hey!" Maka took the initiative to greet him.

"Uh, h-hey! G-good evening!" Soul smiled. "G-good evening to you too…" Maka said. Soul then stretched an arm out to her. Maka looked at it.

"Shall we go?" Soul asked. Maka nodded and took his hand. As Maka closed the door and went down with Soul, the girls in the apartment rejoiced. Soul took a helmet and gave it to Maka. Maka looked at it then to Soul.

"Sorry, it's nothing fancy…" Soul apologized. Maka smiled.

"Hey! It's fun to try something new!" Maka put on her helmet. She knew that in every guy in romance novel book she read didn't drive their love interests with a motorcycle but this is her own story. Her own fairy tale. Soul smiled back and put on his. He and Maka hopped on the motorcycle. Maka looked around for something to grab on. She grabbed on the handle on the motorcycle's back. She would be shy to grab onto Soul all of a sudden.

"You should hold on to me…" Soul said as he turned the engine on.

"O-ok…" Maka slowly wrapped her arms around Soul's waist lightly.

"Tighter" Soul said. "H-huh?"

"I mean, you wouldn't want to fall of my bike, would you?" Soul blushed inside his helmet.

"Mmmkay…" Maka held her grip tighter. Soon, Soul started driving. Soul stopped in front of a fast food restaurant. Surprisingly, Maka knew and favors this place. They mounted off the bike and took off their helmets.

"I hope you're not expecting too much… This is all I can offer…" Soul scratched his head.

"Soul, stop apologizing! I love this place!" Maka jumped in joy.

"R-really? You do?" Soul's lips started to go up on his cheek. Maka nodded.

"Well, we do have something in common, huh?" Soul took her hand and went in.

"This is where I spend the break on my job…" Soul said.

"Oh… Your job!" Maka suddenly remembered.

"Um, no need to worry! It's my day off" he calmed Maka. Maka sighed.

"I thought you skipped" Maka said. "Well, even if it wasn't my day off, I'll try to convince my boss to accept my leave… For you" Soul chuckled. Maka blushed.

"I-I use to come here when I'm all out of food… I'm pretty much known by the manager here" she chuckled. "I see"

A waiter approached them. "May I take your orders?" he asked. They nodded as they both told the waiter. The waiter listed them down and went away for their orders. A few minutes later, he came back with two trays. He placed the orders on their table and bowed.

"Thank you for coming! Though I must say you are a very cute couple!" he then left. Maka bowed and turned red when he said this.

"A-a-a-ah…" Soul was also red and turned back to the food.

"Well… that's unexpected…" he laughed nervously. Maka laughed with him.

"Well, let's eat!" Maka said as they started to dig in. They ate and talked about a few things about their life. They felt very comfortable around each other.

"You know Maka. You look very beautiful tonight. Not like you didn't before. You just look very astonishing tonight…" he said. Maka smiled.

"Thanks… Actually, you look very h-handsome too" Maka complimented him back.

Silence~

"Hey, I want to show you something!" Soul stood up and dropped the money to the waiter.

"Huh? What is that?" Maka followed him with her eyes. "Just trust me!" Soul grabbed her arm lightly. Maka stood up and followed him to his motorcycle. They went on and drove. They mounted off and took off their helmet.

"Close your eyes" Soul said. "O-ok…" Maka did so. She trusted Soul. Soul gently led her the way until she felt some grass tickling her feet.

"Um, S-soul? W-where are we?" Maka uneasily asked.

"Shh, we're almost there…" Soul answered. Maka nodded. They walked and walked until they stopped. Maka could only hear crickets chirping and felt a cold breeze on her back.

"Ready?" Soul asked. Maka nodded. "Open your eyes" he said. Maka slowly opened them and widened with the view in front of her. She gasped as she saw the beautiful view in front of her. It was a large lake. You could see the city lights from afar, reflecting on the clear water.

"Wow…" Maka gawked at it.

"Like it?" Soul asked.

"I love it! I never knew such a place existed… It's so beautiful…" Maka wrapped her arms around her. The two both sat down on the grass. Maka felt a little chilly and held herself tighter.

"Here" Soul took off his jacket and wrapped it around Maka.

"Thank you… But aren't you cold without this?" Maka worriedly asked. Soul shook his head. Maka took a deep breath.

"You know, I've always read such a scenery in the books. I often get jealous when they described it…" Maka said. Soul looked at her gentle face.

"Thank you, Soul… For making this true…" Maka smiled at him.

"That's the first thing I thought too. I've always imagined something like this but I thought, it was too perfect to exist. But while I was on my job, I accidentally parked my motorcycle in front of here… After that, I stop by here every day to look at it" Soul said. Maka made a happy sound. She placed her hand on the gap between her and Soul. Coincidently, Soul had the same action. Their hands were connected. They both blushed. Maka slowly took it off but Soul caught it.

"Uh…" Maka looked at him.

"Maka… I've been always… admiring you since the day we met and… and" Soul began to start his confession but he can't seem to finish it. Soul looked down.

"Soul…" Maka whispered. "I-I-I… I started to… I-I" Soul looked up and saw his face was inches away from Maka's. As they both stared into each other they slowly leaned in closer. Soul's hands started to let go of Maka's and held the right side of her neck lightly. They slowly closed their eyes. And as soon as a firework display began in the city, visible from them, their lips crashed into each other.

Soul's motorcycle stopped in front of Maka's apartment. He looked at his watch. It was 9. They were together for three hours. They both mounted off the bike and went in.

"Um… So, see you tomorrow?" Soul shoved his hands inside his pockets as Maka went unlocked her door. A click sound was heard. Maka slowly turned to face him.

"Sure!" Maka smiled at him. Soul blushed and smiled. He was about to turn away when Maka wrapped her arms on his neck and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you… For everything" Maka softly said. Soul smiled. "I should be thanking you too" he then hugged Maka.

"Bye…" he went downstairs. Her eyes closed as she reminisced what happened earlier. That date. That kiss. Everything that she thought was only for the movies came true. She turned to her door and reached for the door knob. The door opened and she was greeted by the girls.

"Oh! Liz, Patty! Tsubaki!" Maka smiled at them. They smiled at her.

"Ehem!" Liz cleared her throat. "We saw that" she raised her eyebrows repeatedly. Maka's cheeks turned red.

"W-what?" Maka pretended not to know anything. Tsubaki and Patty giggled.

"Tell us everything and as in everything, girl! You need some explaining to do!" Liz dragged her inside.

Soul walked outside the apartment and stopped in front of his bike. He rose one hand slightly with fists closed.

"Yes…" he whispered as he smiled. He blushed as he got to his motorcycle and drove away from the apartment.

"So… This is where you live, huh?" a guy talked to himself as he looked at the large apartment with leaned body on the wall and crossed arms. His grin grew big.

Phew! I am sweating over here! Seriously! You guys will probably find the beautiful scenery scene with SXM similar with my other story 'Broken Inside' and if an anime, 'Shakugan no Shana'. When I imagined that kiss it sent shivers down in my spine!

Ooh… I love cliffhangers… Who do you think that creepy guy is? This story needs conflict! This story will have 5-8 chapters more, not so sure yet… But as I said from the earlier chapters that this story will only have 10 or 15 chapters less. Ok! Bye! See you next time!
