DISCLAIMER: YEAH, I DO NOT WONT TO PUT ONE UP BUT YA, YA YOU KNOW WHAT GOES HERE.

Maka sighed as she watched the clock tick slowly. She had two months of school left and something felt off about it. Ox and his friends had been quiet as of late and that bothered her. That something that had bothered her happened after lunch when her friends left for a band recital leaving her alone and subjected to teen pressure.

Ox smiled as he and his friends took a seat at her table.

"So Miss Albarn, you think you can escape me so easily." He smiled as Maka sighed. Why was she even here?

"What do you want Ox, the whole school knows my secret and seem unfazed and you're still lower than me academically? I say I win." Maka smirked, mulling over her small victory.

"Your father doesn't approve." Harvar stated.

"I'm eighteen, he doesn't have to approve." Maka replied coolly, Soul would be proud.

"Little Miss Maka Albarn, pampered and spoiled her whole life. Well it's time to bring you down; girls take care of her!" Ox ordered as Kim and Jackie grabbed her and pulled her to the bathroom.

Soul and Wes laughed as they toasted their new gig. Suddenly the doors burst open and a tuff or blonde darted past them crying. It wasn't until Maka and Soul's door slammed shut that the two brothers moved in.

"Maka what's wrong?" Soul asked as his brother downed his whiskey and placed the now empty glass to the door.

"Go away both of you," she screamed, whipping away her tears.

"Come on, let big bro Wesley and your idiot boyfriend in." Wes begged as Soul glared at him.

"Why am I the idiot?" he asked.

"Because you let what ever happened, happen." The brother explained.

"I said go away," she repeated as Soul grabbed the skeleton key for the room.

"Kay pigtails, you got two seconds before I open the door!" Soul ordered as Wes began counting down. Once he got to zero both brothers rushed in the door.

They were stunned when they noticed Maka's bruised and tattered form.

"Maka, what happened?" Soul asked as both he and Wes sat beside her.

Maka remained silent; both men were very protective of her.

"Maka please, tell us what's wrong? Maybe we can fix it?" Wes asked as Soul stroked her hair. Both brothers waited anxiously for her to speak. Maka only cried harder though, as she buried her head in Soul's neck. Wes sighed as he patted her knee and embraced the two loves. Whatever had happened to her shook her pretty good?

It was a week until she was able to return to school. Tsubaki had brought her homework loyally every day and her other friends had done recon on Maka's incident. It was the Thompson twins, who found Ox boasting about it. Once the Evans brothers heard the news, immediate action was taken.

"Ok troops, today we execute operation make their heads spin." Soul smirked as Maka fidgeted behind Wes.

"Yahoo, finally I get to make that pee wee actually participate in a physical activity!" Blackstar hollered.

"Yes, this should be fun." Tsubaki agreed as she smiled reassuringly to her pigtailed friend.

"He, he, bitches gonna die!" Patty smiled evilly as the group backed up slightly.

"That's right Patty, just don't really kill them." Liz said as Kid cracked his knuckles.

"Ready to go," he asked eyeing the small group of people. Soul and Wes pushed Maka forward as Tsubaki and Liz grabbed her.

"Show them you're a big girl Maka." Soul smiled. He and Wes would prepare the trap while the Kids and Blackstar would draw the group in.

Maka remained silent as she followed her friends to P.E. Liz was in charge of making the bullies follow them.

"Ok, so tonight's plan is to watch Wes and Soul perform in Red rain, right?" she announced as Jackie and Kim eavesdropped on them. At Maka's nod she continued.

"Tsubaki is Blackstar bringing you?" the Asian teen nodded as Patty wrote down the directions.

"Don't forget it's a private couples only gig, so no others should know." Liz smiled as her sister handed Tsubaki the directions.

Maka smiled as her and the sisters watched their friend hurry off to pull off her part of the plan.

"So, Patty Thompson." Wes began as he and Soul set up for the nights gig. Soul eyed his brother before debating his answer.

"What about her?" he asked timidly as Wes set up the drums.

"she's cute." He replied as his younger brother raised an eyebrow.

"Thought you said you were done with the younger chicks?" he asked as they paused their plan.

"She's different." Wes smiled as he pictured the younger Thompson sister.

"Sure, but you'll have to fight for her." Soul smirked. This news seemed to confuse him.

"Listen bro, something's just don't need to be messed with." Soul explained as his brother nodded.
