Sorry I didn't respond to all of them but I LOVE you all. SERIOUSLY :D

"Life changes, and the world can't wait for us to."

The bell. When it sounded that meant that someone had opened the front door. Crap! I forgot to lock it! We all turned our heads towards the door and saw three very well groomed boys walking in.

You have got to be kidding me.

"Whatsup?"

YES. What is up with this situation?

Maka POV

Blue hair, white hair, and black hair all continued to walk in, grabbing some chairs and setting them up around the table, fitting seven people on a four people table. Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, and I were all too shocked and surprised to say anything to them that we couldn't even stop them from walking any closer.

This was the first time all seven of us had been together since that night we broke in.

Liz immediately stood up, leaving her hands on the table. "Hey, the café's closed."

"Doesn't look like it to me." Black Star bluntly stated. He sat down between me and Tsubaki and grabbed my bowl of noodles and started chowing down on it.

"Hey give that back!" I yelled.

"No way, get your own!" Black Star put the bowl of noodles high above his head where I couldn't reach, used his feet to block me when I reached over to retrieve it, and he was somehow able to continue eating it.

"That was my own!" I protested.

Everyone else started laughing at us. Soul, who took a seat next to me on my other side, put the entire palm of his hand on top of my head and forcibly turned my attention to him, who was holding up a plastic bag in the other hand with a huge, gluttonous grin across his face.

"Relax Maka, I brought some stuff from my place." He said coolly then started opening the bag.

I eagerly watched him, anxious to see what kind of fancy food he has his personal chefs cook him at his humongous mansion. All the others watched too, except for Kid and Black Star, probably just excited to get food. We all had our eyes on him as he pulled out some plastic containers filled with salmon both cooked and uncooked, about thirty pounds of steak, crackers and caviar, chicken fettuccini, and a questionable sauce for the breadsticks that I've never seen before.

Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, and I dropped our jaws to the floor and I'm pretty sure Tsubaki dropped her chopsticks because I heard some sort of clanking noise hit the floor. We looked at the food, drooled, then looked up at Soul, who yawned as if the food wasn't in front of him, and then we looked at Kid and Black Star who, like Soul, continued eating the noodles Tsubaki and Patty cooked pretending that the feast was not laid out in front of them.

How can they be so casual around this?

Oh yeah, they eat this every day of their lives. Forgot.

"Is this for all of us?" Liz asked eagerly.

"Help yourselves." He replied nonchalantly.

"How did you get all of this?" I asked in astonishment, also gaping myself.

"Our chefs were making this for dinner and I just took some and came here." He chuckled. "I didn't have the appetite so I didn't really want it then Kid refused to take it because it wasn't symmetrical and Black Star told me to come here and give it to you guys. Said something about Tsubaki telling him your shifts or something."

"Tsubaki!" I said, laughing.

"Sorry guys it just came out!" She apologized, laughing as well.

"Geez Tsubaki, I don't know whether I should be concerned about what else you might have told him, or thankful you got this food for us!" Liz exclaimed, digging in to the things that Soul brought us.

"Yeah thanks!" Patty gleamed, putting Soul's food on top of her noodles and eating them both at once.

I smiled. "This is great and all, but I think I'll stick with the noodles." I said as kindly as I could.

"Why?" Soul asked, raising an eyebrow in innocent curiosity.

"You must really like noodles." Kid commented nonchalantly, eating his share of noodles. Apparently that was symmetrical enough for him.

"Well…not exactly…"

"Maka's never really liked high class fancy food." Tsubaki answered Soul's question.

"Yeah, for some reason she always turns it down whenever it's available to her." Liz added on.

"It's so funny!" Patty giggled, which brought a smile to everyone's faces for a few seconds.

"Really? How come?" Soul asked me.

I shrugged. My mouth was full with food so I had to swallow it before I could reply. "I just don't think it's that great."

"Where would you get that kind of a meal anyways? If I recall you guys don't live like we do." Kid questioned.

"That's a little complicated…" Liz smiled uneasily.

It was complicated, and would require us to detail them on Liz and Patty's long history of being Thompsons. Since they were originally from a family that was almost on the same level as the Evans, they lived like wealthy people. Some people didn't know of their familial circumstances and Liz and Patty would occasionally accidentally get invitations to galas and such and they would bring Tsubaki and I along, and those things always only had food available. The only reason Tsubaki and I were allowed to go was because their father would get four tickets for him, his ex-wife, Liz, and Patty, and sent them all to us. He is a truly generous man.

And then there was good old fashioned stealing or ordering food at a restaurant then leaving before the check came, but they don't need to know about that.

"Well don't bother with things that have nothing to do with me! Heck, anything that doesn't deal with me is inferior and simply not as exciting!" Black Star shouted, laughing obnoxiously.

"Whatever you say." I stated, shoving another serving of noodles into my face. I really didn't care about how I looked when I ate in front of the guys. They're practically my friends now, so why should I act any different? Oh yeah, because their rich. Screw that.

It might look bad, having all these people that weren't supposed to be in the café, well, be in the café, but we didn't care about that. First, we're rebels and delinquents, like we'd care about that crap anyways. We'd do practically anything out of pure desire and just because we wanted to if it was for fun. And second, these are high class people we have over, the really "up there" kind of people. There was the President's son, an Evans and his bodyguard, and the Thompsons if Liz and Patty really count, so our boss really shouldn't care.

We all ate in silence for a while, completely infatuated with whatever food we were shoving into our bodies, so Soul brought up another topic.

"You know bringing this food isn't the only reason we came. There's something else we need to talk to you guys about." He said.

"Oh really? And what's that?" Liz asked, mouth half full. Soul leaned back in his chair, tilting it onto its two back legs, and crossed his arms.

"My family's throwing a party, and I want you four to come."

All four of us stared at him in astonishment with our mouths wide open. Some of my noodles even fell out of my chopsticks because I wasn't paying attention to it. "Excuse me?" I exclaimed.

"You heard me." He smirked.

"So what do you guys think?" Kid asked.

"Are we even allowed to go to something like that?" Tsubaki said.

"Even if we aren't Tsubaki, you know we're going to go anyways." Liz laughed.

"Break in~!" Break in~!" Patty sang, jumping up and down in her seat.

"Another break in…" I looked at them in amazement and sweatdropped. They weren't serious, were they? We just became wanted criminals because of what happened at the last party, even though they have absolutely no idea who did it. I'm sure if we went to this party full on with no disguises they still wouldn't know it was us.

"I can't break in! I'd be too noticeable! No, no, go on without me!" Black Star shouted, acting very dramatic.

"Relax, no one's going to have to break in." Soul assured us, then turned to his friend. "And will you shut up Black Star my parents invited you in person."

Black Star crossed his arms. "I-I knew that! I was just making sure you all wouldn't come up to me and ask me to break in with you guys."

"And why would we do that?" Liz asked.

"Because you obviously want me to be with you at all times! And that includes when you break in. I can understand I mean I can barely handle a day without myself."

"I thought Soul said no one was breaking in?" Kid stated casually.

I looked at said person, and he was rubbing his temples. Poor guy, only has these two retards as his friends. Although in some weird way, I feel like this was our way of getting along with all of them. I saw his muscles were all tensed up, screaming to me a little more loudly. I shook my head to look away, and when I turned back to the others I only heard the end conversation between them.

"Just wait a few days and we'll get our own invitations." Liz waved something Kid said off with her hand.

Surprisingly, Soul jumped in. "The party's tomorrow."

"Oh, well then…" Liz gave him a friendly glare and he just smirked.

Damn, no more tensed muscles.

"So you wanna give us the details?" I ushered him.

He looked at me for a few seconds after I called him out, closed his eyes, and then just began to talk. "My family's throwing a party in celebration of, my brother's… achievement, on playing last night." It looked like it was hard for him to say that last part, and after he said that, I wasn't too surprised that it looked like he wanted to vomit. Compared to his reaction last night, or this morning, this was a miracle he wasn't wearing a frown like a tattoo. "They're inviting pretty much everyone in the town, and if you four can pull it off, they won't even notice you aren't rich. You need an invitation, so I'm gonna send someone to give them to you guys tomorrow morning."

"Your brother's playing~?" Patty asked in completely innocent curiosity.

I quickly changed the subject, fully and completely aware of what he was talking about. "S-So we're going undercover?" I asked.

"Sounds like our kind of thing, right Liz?" Tsubaki smiled.

"Fun~! Fun~!" Patty exclaimed in a giddy fashion.

"Not really, just show up and act like you know what you're doing." Kid cleared things up with us.

"But you're an Evans right Soul? Why can't you just say that we're your friends?" Tsubaki asked sincerely.

If I was the one to ask Soul that, I'm sure he would feel a little depressed. But since it's Tsubaki, I could tell he let it slide. That's right, she didn't hear our conversation last night, or this morning, so there's no way she could've known his situation with his parents. Well, to tell the truth, I wasn't too sure about it either. I wonder how he's feeling right now. But I did have to admit it was strange, he was a direct relative to the Evans, namely their son, so why couldn't he also have a say in the guests?

"An Evans?" Liz and Patty both exclaimed. I looked over at the two of them, completely taking my attention.

I sighed in fatigue. Here we go again. I keep forgetting all of these things, like that those two don't know that Soul is an Evans and that Black Star is his bodyguard, and I'm sure Black Star told Tsubaki about him being a bodyguard. All of this memory loss began since I met those three lunatics, maybe I should see a doctor about it or something.

"Yeah, you didn't know?" Kid asked them, and pointed his fork towards Soul. "That's Wes Evans' little brother." He said it so nonchalantly. Shut up Kid, you're the President's freaking son. You're damn lucky none of us are calling you out on that. Wait, why aren't we calling him out on that? That's something pretty huge.

"SHUT UP!" The two of them shouted, then Liz looked over at Kid. "Don't be playing us now!"

"Kid…" Soul snarled at his friend in a threatening way, who only smirked back, clearly content with harassing his friend like that.

"And here I am thinking it was just going to be another boring gala. I was wondering what kind of family you were, inviting only rich people and apparently playing or whatever." Liz laughed.

"So what do you play~?" Patty asked all bubbly and what not.

"Nothing in particular." Was his response.

I quickly turned to him with an eyebrow raised. I was aware that I was the only one out of the four of us who knew that he played piano, well actually I kind of just assumed I was the only one, but to not tell them, I had to admit I was a little taken back. I thought he would be a little more open to them.

"An Evans who doesn't play an instrument? Wow, can't say I've seen that in my life." Tsubaki commented. Okay, that just validated my previous assumption. Apparently I was the only one out of the four of us who knew.

"Hey, I never said I didn't play anything." He quickly defended.

"I don't suppose you'd care to tell us?" Liz tried to persuade him.

"No, you don't suppose." He looked over at her with a seductive smirk, no, it wasn't a smirk. Now it was some sort of alluring crooked smile.

Liz laughed and teased. "Well aren't you the charming one?" By the way she was cracking up, I knew she wasn't falling for it.

"Who me? Why of course I am!" Black Star randomly budded in.

Kid stood up, wiping a napkin on his mouth and looking outside the café window. "It looks like our limo's here. You guys are coming with me to my house right?"

"Yeah." Soul replied and followed Kid's actions. He stood up and then Black Star also followed after him. "Be there at 8, no earlier." He demanded with his back to us as he walked towards the door.

I don't know why but I stood up out of my own seat and ran outside to catch up to him. I put a hand on his shoulder and turned him around. Kid and Black Star were currently stepping into the limousine and their chauffeur was holding the door open for us. "Hey, we never said we were going."

He looked down on me with lazy eyes and shrugged. "I'm just going on hope and assumption here."

I gave him a concerned expression. "Look, I'm not so sure this is a good idea. We're wanted fugitives remember? And if your parents found out you invited us to your party…" I paused, on my words, maybe I shouldn't have brought his parents up, but hey it was for a good cause. "…I just don't think I'm worth that kind of trouble."

He raised an eyebrow at me. "Since when did this become about you?" I was about to punch him but he felt my rising anger and then quickly laughed and put a hand on top of my head. "Relax, I'm kidding. If anything I'm touched you would care about other people that much."

"Shut up."

He smiled. "Well the others looked like they wanted to go, so what's holding you back?"

I looked away. "Nothing really, I just have a feeling all of us hanging around each other like this it just-"

"You're so interested in what my life is like." His voice all of a sudden became serious, and when I looked up at him after he interrupted me, his face was completely stern to match his tone. He shoved his hands in his pockets. "So why don't you come with me to the ball."

It didn't really seem like a question to me more than it seemed like a demand. But something made me freeze on the spot. He just asked me personally to go with him to the…ball? Is that what high class parties were like? Balls? Wait, that's not the point here. I noticed that I was staring at him in disbelief that he has just said that, and not in a joking way but in a sincere and stern way, that I didn't notice the others were around us until they screamed for him.

"Hey Soul! Get your ass in here we're doing an all nighter at Kid's!" Black Star shouted in complete excitement.

"Yeah I'm coming!" Soul shouted back. He turned to me again. "So will I see you there?"

I pouted, silently fumed to myself, and sucked in my pride long enough to agree. I sighed. "Geez, you're such an idiot." Yes, an idiot indeed. That's what I was at least. He knows how curious I am about his life, about his past and the way he lives in the present. But at least it wasn't some sort of trick, because if I went I'd be going to his house, I mean mansion and experience what kind of parties he grew up with. I was secretly intrigued by this.

I didn't even give him a chance to say anything back to me as I turned around so my back was facing him, and walked back into the café. Still fuming, yes, because I absolutely hated it when people used my weaknesses against me. The thing was, I never had any weaknesses that could be used against me, until I met him. Ha! Go figure.

The chauffeur closed the door for us and then drove off with the guys, not that I saw it happen or anything I was purposely facing my back to him. When I sat back down to the table, the three of them gave me questioning eyes.

"What was that about?" Liz asked, obviously prying. She smiled. "A little secret love confession maybe?"

I threw a breadstick at her and hit her right in the middle of her face. "Give it a rest, it's not like that. And he just made sure that we were going tomorrow."

"A party that we don't have to break into? Seems like my kind of thing for once." Tsubaki laughed.

"I'm all for it~!" Patty giggled. "Even if it won't be as fun since we aren't sneaking in~!" She said with chipper gloominess.

"We have some dresses you guys can try on again." Liz assured Tsubaki and I.

"Sounds great!" Tsubaki clapped her hands.

"Hey um…guys…"

"Yeah Maka?"

One of my eyes twitched. "The guys left us all this food to clean up."

They all followed my gaze to the table and the floor beneath the table, and realized I was right. There was garbage everywhere, mostly from Black Star I would guess.

"Well that's just splendid."

~THE NEXT DAY~

The day after Soul invited us to his family's gala, Liz and Patty had Tsubaki and I over at their apartment, which was right next door so it didn't matter anyways, and had us try on all of their old dresses. It amazed me how they were able to fit all of their old fancy clothes and their street clothes all in one closet. I secretly think that they put some in our closet because from time to time I would find shirts or skirts that weren't mine or Tsubaki's.

Being the masters of makeovers that they are, I allowed them to dress me and do my hair. They insisted on putting makeup on me but I preferred to do that myself because if I let them do that to me I might as well be wearing a mask. After the other three dolled themselves up, I sat in a chair, wearing one of their old dresses and watching myself in the mirror as Liz brushed my hair. Instead of my usual pigtails, she decided to leave my hair down and curl it a little, putting it half up I think. I wasn't too sure I couldn't see the back of my head.

I looked over to see Tsubaki doing Patty's hair after she had done her own hair, but there wasn't much to work with because of her short haircut, which is actually why the 'makeover master' let Tsubaki do her hair. "So you excited?" Liz asked me.

"W-Well, yes and no. I'm actually really nervous, I've never legitimately attended one of these parties because we were actually invited this time." Laughing as I confessed.

"Relax, all you have to do is stay as quiet as you can and eat like you know what you're doing." Liz said so casually I almost felt like her advice was useless, how was I supposed to do any of that?

"Easy for you to say! You and Patty used to go to these things." Tsubaki commented on the side.

"Hey! We were younger back then~!" Patty defended.

"Well do you think you could teach us some things about, etiquette?" I asked Liz, who had finished my hair. Amazing how fast she was.

She smiled in regret. "No, sorry. I can't remember too much. All I know is that you should always behave yourselves and act mature or something like that."

"Isn't that risky? What if people realize that we aren't one of them?" Tsubaki asked, continuously brushing Patty's hair.

"Well technically we were invited, so they can't really do much but look down on us and call us vermin or whatever." Liz replied. She even laughed at the idea that they would degrade us. Really, she's so unpredictable.

She had a point, their son invited us personally. I wanted to ask, but I couldn't ask because I don't think Soul would appreciate me saying anything about his family. I wanted to ask them if they thought his invitation was legitimate because it was his parent's party, and his parent's didn't really like him that much. Tsubaki asked him last night, but he said he never got the chance to answer. Inside, I knew it was because his parents were old fashioned high society, and would never allow us to go friends or not. I would give the excuse that he was the heir to the Evans fortune, but that title belonged to his brother Wes.

I decided to play along. "That's right, we're practically untouchable." All four of us laughed at my rebellious attitude.

It was about half past seven, and we had to get there before eight, by Soul's request, so we did some last minute touchups and finally left. A limousine was waiting for us outside the gate of the complex, and when we got down we were getting many looks from our neighbors and those who happened to pass by. Four girls who looked extravagant walking out of an apartment building like ours entering into a limousine was just bizarre. I smiled.

The Thompsons, always going all out.

So this chapter was kind of boring sorry it was like a setup for the next chapter. Like a transition chapter you know? Get ready for the next chapter because it's gonna be huge (:

And sorry for it being so short compared to the other one. It's practically half its size!

PLEASE REVIEW (it keeps the idea juices flowing hahahah)
