Let's Play Basketball!

Do You Really Want A Maka Chop?

As we returned to Death City on Soul's motorcycle, I couldn't help, but wonder if Black Star would have mercy on me and not suggest basketball as our group's activity for today. Probably not.

I gave out a sigh that, thankfully because of the engine and wind, Soul couldn't hear.

'He better not try to pull anything or else he'll be back in the infirmary for a book-related accident again…' I thought.

I pushed the thoughts of Black Star wanting to do another basketball gamble game away and stared blankly off at the scenery that past by. I started to zone out completely as the motorcycle continued towards Black Star's and Tsubaki's house. Coming to a stop, I was taken out of my state of a blank mind.

"Here we are." Soul said as I starting to get off the bike.

Since it had only been nine in the evening back in Paris and coming home on Soul's flying bike (1) had taken an hour or two, give or take (I wasn't really paying attention), it was about one or two o'clock in the afternoon here in Death City, so it was absolutely sensible to be going to Black Star's place right after a mission that took place at night. Hello, time zones!

Anyways, we walked up to the big gate around their house (2) and entered the grounds of the ninja team's traditional Japanese house. We came up to the front door and rung the bell.

Thud, thud, thud! Whap!

"Soul!" the blue-haired ninja yelled, going to tackle his best friend.

"Black Star!" my partner said, trying to stay standing.

"Maka Chop!" I said, producing a book out of nowhere (from my bag that was slung over my should) and chopping the boys' heads, "You two are always so loud!"

As the boys recollected themselves for my attack, Tsubaki came and greeted us. "Hello, Maka!" she smiled at me.

"Good afternoon, Tsubaki!" I returned the smile, "How are you?"

"Great! Everyone's here now that you and Soul have arrived!"

"Yea!" Black Star interjected, "We're gonna play basketball! YAH-HOO!"

Whack!

"Maka Chop…" I said, getting annoyed, especially since he said we would do the most dreadful activity ever invented.

"Black Star, you're not gonna torture Maka again, are you…?" Tsubaki said, warily.

"Don't worry, Tsubaki," Soul said, stuffing his hands in his pockets, "I already called a captain position before we even arrive, so he couldn't torture her."

"Aw, Soul, are you starting to betray me?" Black Star whined before going into I'm-gonna-surpass-God stance, "Whatever the case: be with friends or without, I shall SURPASS GOD! This game is only a test to see how well I can take going head-to-head with my best friend and I WILL pass!" Then, he went into his laughing fit.

The three of us just simply sighed and just went into our own little conversation circle.

"So does Kid know about the game?" Soul asked.

"Yes, he and the sisters had already went to change and came back before you arrive." Tsubaki reported, "Since me and Black Star are ready as well, all that's needed is you two to change and to get to the court."

Soul nodded and looked at me. "Let's go get ready then, Maka." he said.

"Right." I said before remembering something. Turning to Tsubaki, I asked, "Hey, can Crona join us?"

The dark art weapon simply smiled kindly and nodded, "Of course, Maka!"

I smiled, too, and nodded. "Okay," I said, "Then, me and Soul go change and get Crona in his sports clothes as well." (3)

"Alright, then, we'll just meet you three at the court in a half hour!"

Me and my weapon nodded and waved at the kind girl as we turned to head back to our apartment to change and pick up Crona.

"I hope he doesn't do something stupid bet this time." I commented to soul as we got on his motorcycle again.

"If he does, you can always just Maka Chop him." Soul replied, "But I don't see why you're worried. It's me and Black Star as captains, not you."

"I know… I just have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach…"

The face I made was almost close to the Excalibur face.

Author's Note: Hey, if someone can help me out with the ages of the Soul Eater characters. Like I think Black Star is definitely 14 and Maka is most likely 13 at that point, but like, I've heard that's it's rumored Soul is 13, but I honestly think he could be 14 or 15, maybe 16, but that might being pushing it honestly. Then, Tsubaki with her huge ass boobs has to be maybe like 16-18. Then, like the sisters' have to be between 15-18(19). I think Death the Kid could be like 16-18 honestly. Oh, and Crona might be the youngest out of them, lol. Though I'd really like someone's opinion. It's just something I've been wondering for a while and I think it might help with my writing a little. Please help! Thank you!

(1) I'm agreeing with another author from a different Soul Eater fanfiction on the fact they in the series seem to magically get from place to place magically, so in this is Soul's and Maka's magical way of getting from Death City to their missions since, in episode 26, they arrive to their mission in the Czech Republic on Soul's bike.

(2) In the last episode, during the credits, Black Star and Tsubaki moved into that big traditional Japanese house and I'm setting this post-anime, so deal with it, lol.

(3) In the credits of the last episode, it seemed as though Crona was living with Maka and Soul, so I'm going by that.
