Patty POV

The front door banged open. And guess who walks in? The blue-haired troublemaker, Black*Star, and his dark demon blade, Tsubaki. Awesome!

I love those guys! They're hilarious! :D I thought, sitting somewhat awkwardly close to Kid.

I know, I know, how can it be awkward if he's your meister? Well, it can, so there! My mind flashed back to that fateful day...

No. Don't think about it. I concentrated on the present. I giggled again, and waved.

"Hey, it's Black*Star and Tsubaki! Hey, Black*Star! Hi, Tsubaki!" Everyone else just stared at them. It was a teensy bit awkward between

Black*Star, Tsubaki, Kid, and I, and I'll leave it at that. So there. Soul was the first to snap back into reality. "Black*Star? Tsubaki?

What–What are you doing here? It seems like everyone's gathering here today!" Black*Star laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Oh, come on, Soul! You know exactly why I'm here! Or... at least, Maka and Crona do!" He laughed again.

This time, his laugh sent shivers up my spine. It was a lot creepier than his usual one. Maka's eyes widened, and Crona gasped really loudly.

Blair looked up at him, and so did everyone else. He turned beet red. "S–sorry..." He muttered, looking down.

Maka patted his shoulder reassuringly. My sis nodded, looking relieved. "Yeah... I think Black*Star and I are thinking the same thing,

cause I think that I came for the same reason..." She trailed off, looking at Kid. He nodded in turn, too.

"I also came for the same reason as Black*Star and Liz." Soul looked confused, so was I. "Wait... what? What is this they're talking about,

Maka?" She blushed slightly, and looked at her knees. "None of your business, Soul." That was odd. Maka usually didn't act like this,

she didn't blush or get bashful easily. And it was really spontaneous, too. Blair purred, jumping from Crona's lap again to the small coffee table.

She sat down, blinking innocently at all of us. "Well, now it's become everyone's business, right, people?"

She paused, her yellow eyes fixed directly on the two subjects in question. "Maka and Crona are secretly dating!"

Memories came flashing back to me, all in a blur. The time I secretly dated someone, someone other people might not think highly of.

I immediately felt sympathy towards Maka and Crona. There was a long, pregnant pause. "Blair, you bitch!" Maka shrieked,

jumping up from her seat, and storming of towards her room. Crona blushed deep red, and ran off towards the door.

"I have to go now... sorry... bye!" He stammered, and left quickly. The door slammed shut, and all was silent.

I saw Kid sneak a quick glance at me, then looked away again. Hmph. So he was remembering my situation too.

There was another long awkward silence. Soul coughed. "Wow. I mean, I always knew they were close, but not that close."

We all nodded in agreement. I saw Kid, Black*Star, and Tsubaki all sneak another subtle glance at me again.

So they were all thinking of the time Black*Star and I secretly dated. Why Liz didn't know, you might ask It was cause it was too painful.

Whatever, though. I now felt for Crona and Maka. I don't think Blair should have told everyone here.

Memories flashed through my mind like a strong spring whirlpool. Black*Star and I... our first kiss; our late nights meeting up in alleyways,

running around Death City 'till dawn sometimes; our notes passed in class; our pranks on our friends; being caught by Kid and Tsubaki,

who had figured out together over time; our breakup. I stood. "Okay, guys!" I said loudly, a wide grin spreading across my face.

Everyone looked up and watched me. Now was my chance to finally say what I wanted to say,

finally help in some way other than turning into a twin demon pistol. I could finally speak up and be heard.

"Blair, you shouldn't have done that. How do you Maka and Crona feel right now? Embarrassed? Ashamed? Pessimistic, and for Crona, more

pessimistic than usual? Depressed? Peer-pressured? Revealed? Guilty?" I ranted on, listing the different things I thought they might be feeling

right now, based on what I had once felt. Then, finally...

"They had their secrets. We all have ours at some point, and we all have no right to give away other's secrets for any reason, unless the bearer

chooses to say so. I'm not just speaking to Blair right now, I'm speaking to all of you. Kid, Blair, Liz, Black*Star. You guys all figured it out,

maybe by accident or clever thinking, but you all still did. You all came here today to only question them about it, and now look what you've

done. You've left them both in tears, maybe even to the point of heart-crushing breakup. I should know..."

With this, panting and out of breath from all of my scrambled emotions, I sat down again.

There was the longest silence I had ever experienced. Blair was mewing quietly in distress, her ears laid back, eyes slitted, shivering.

With a pop, she turned back into a young women. She was actually wearing skinny jeans and a T-shirt, nothing slutty.

She must've felt really badly at that moment. She looked at me, lamp yellow eyes greatly saddened.

"You're right Patty, I really shouldn't have done that. I was actually just really excited for them, They're both so nice to me, and I–"

I cut her off. "Well, everyone makes mistakes. But I think they're still both really angry at you, Maka especially." She jumped up.

"You're right! I'm going to find them, and apologize to them immediately!" She ran off, Soul following, leaving me with Kid, Tsubaki, Black*Star,

Kid, and Liz. Tsubaki and Kid rose slowly, and looked at each other, then to me.

"Patty, I'm so, so sorry..." Tsubaki started, then trailed off. Kid nodded, and looked at me directly in the eyes. I could read them easily.

They were sorry for being the cause of Black*Star and I breaking up. Oni-chan, Liz, looked very confused, and I didn't blame her. I smiled at

them.

"S'okay! Now, we should probably just wait for Blair, Maka, Soul, and Crona to come back!" I said cheerily, walking over and plopping down next

to Black*Star. He had been unusually quiet the whole time, and looked over at me in surprise. He grinned, I smiled.

"Meet me tonight, at the usual place, 'kay?" He whispered while everyone settled down to wait. I nodded. I was now happy again,

not happy with a mask on my real feelings.
