Ah i feel like writing angst!

But don't worry there's not really any in this chapter.

Ninja Trio's Best: No! Cold is bad! I'd rather go swimming than be cooped up in my room with 20million layers on. Also me too :D I thought it would be cute if he gave her a piggy back. :P

KamiNoMa: Ah i HATE Excalibur i swear if he was real i would shoot him.

YukikoXChan: Yeah i think lots of people want her to dump Kirikou for Soul, including me. :P

Thanks to everyone else who reviewed. Your reviews = my love. :D

I'm getting sick of saying it...I don't own Soul Eater!

Chapter 7

"Thanks for agreeing to help me Tsubaki." The mousey brown haired girl said, running up to her friend, who was waiting patiently on the corner of the shopping district.

"No problem Maka-chan. I'm looking forward to seeing what dress you choose!" The weapon responded, smiling.

Maka sighed, what dress would she get? What colour suited her? Should she get an over the knee dress or above the knee? And on top of that, what shoes would she get? Arg it was all too hard!

'That's why i brought Tsubaki along remember?' She told herself. 'She always knows what suits me.'

"Come on Maka-Chan! We don't have that long." Tsubaki smiled, dragging her into the closest shop.

They tried on heaps of dresses, but none of which Tsubaki thought were good enough for her friend. The weapon complained that they were either, too dull, too loose, too revealing, not revealing enough, not the right colour along with a long list of other pathetic excuses. At this rate they weren't going to find anything good enough. But Maka thought most of the dresses she had tried on looked fine. Besides it wasn't like she was expected to blow anyone away with her "beauty" and dress like you normally would aim for at dances. Well except for Kirikou, but he didn't count. Though it sounded mean, Maka didn't care what her "date" thought of her, it was a one sided relationship after all.

Tsubaki sighed, probably out of annoyance.

"Tsubaki do you have a dress yet?" Maka asked, realizing that she did not know this information yet.

"Mmm yep, I got mine yesterday with Liz and Patty." Tsubaki mumbled, looking through the endless amounts of clothes on the racks, but still not finding what she wanted.

"Oh really! You should have told me earlier! What's it look like?" Maka asked exuberantly, grabbing her friends hand and jumping up and down like a 5 year old that's just been told the greatest thing in the world.

"It's not that exciting..." Tsubaki mumbled. "Umm it's sleeveless, long and dark blue." She finished, looking down, embarrassed by Maka's sudden enthusiasm.

"Oh! Why did you choose blue?" She paused. "...Could it be you wanted to match Black*Star?" She giggled when Tsubaki blushed, proving Maka's theory to be true.

"Maybe..." She mumbled, trailing off, blushing more.

"Could it be that Tsubaki-Chan likes Black*Star more than just a friend?" Maka grinned bending over to look at her friend, who still had her face down, obviously embarrassed.

"Don't ask me those sort of things so suddenly!" She replied raising her voice, and head to look at Maka, who was still grinning.

"I'm taking that as a yes!" she giggled, grabbing the weapons hand and skipping out the shop door. "Though i don't see what you see in him..."

"He's different at home...I guess i know and understand him better than anyone else does." Tsubaki explained, regaining her normal composure after Maka's outburst.

"Whatever, he annoys me. Oh! Lets go get something to eat!" The meister said, changing the subject after spotting a sushi bar across the street.

Maka was happy for Tsubaki. Besides Black*Star wasn't going to get anyone else, and Maka wouldn't find it surprising if it was only subconscious pity love that Tsubaki was giving him. But it made her think. First Kid and Liz, now Black*Star and Tsubaki? Where did she fit in? Wasn't it supposed to then go her and Soul? Kirikou was not in this equation. So why was he intruding on the pattern? Everyone else was getting together with their Shibusen partners BUT her and Soul. The realization filled Maka with sadness.

Maka hid her depression from Tsubaki while they ate.

"So Maka-Chan...We've talked about me, what about you? Do you like Kirikou as much as he likes you?" Tsubaki asked, dipping her sushi into the soy-sauce puddle before popping the roll into her mouth all the while focusing her attention on Maka's response that was yet to come.

Should she tell the truth? What if Tsubaki told someone? She stopped herself there. This was Tsubaki she was talking about, her best friend wouldn't tell. So sucking in a breath Maka spoke.

"No...I don't like him at all. I mean he is really nice and all but I don't feel anything towards him." Maka blushed angling her hear down while poking around the bits of rice on her plate. She felt bad admitting it out loud.

"I didn't think so." Tsubaki smiled sympathetically.

"What!" Maka gasped, worriedly, "Is it obvious?"

"No! No! I just pick up on these things. Besides it doesn't matter that you don't like him. Just explain to him that you like someone else...Because you do right?" The weapon grinned knowingly.

Maka blushed, was she that easy to read?

"I couldn't do that to him. The dance is tomorrow night, ill tell him a couple days afterwards." She explained, taking a sip of water from the bottle she had purchased with her meal.

"What are you going to tell Soul?"

Maka almost spat out her water. 'How does she know these things?' she thought. Tsubaki could read her like a book.

"I'm not telling him anything." She glared at her friend who was smiling, obviously knowing that she had pinned her. "Besides! He has no interest in flat chested women anyway!" Maka exclaimed, stretching her arms above her head as a sign that she was done eating.

"Your wro-"

"Anyway! Let's go finish this shopping before it gets too dark to walk home." She cut her friend off, trying to avoid the topic. Maka didn't necessarily want to discuss these problems with Tsubaki who was the perfect example of the perfect woman.

The long haired weapon sighed, but followed Maka out of the door.

After another twenty minutes of failure Tsubaki stopped in front of a large shop window that showed a mannequin dressed in an above the knee black dress.

"Maka, Maka, Maka!" Tsubaki called to her friend who was still walking forward without her.

"Your trying it on." The black haired girl told her.

So without arguing Maka followed her friend into the expensive looking dress shop.

"Can i help you ladies?" The shop keeper asked the duo seeing their searching looks.

"Do you have any other dresses like the black one on the window?" Tsubaki asked, pointing towards the front of the shop.

"No I'm sorry, it's the only one in stock at the moment, would you like me to get it down do you can try it on?" The nice lady offered.

"Yes please, but it's not for me it's for my friend." She smiled looking over at Maka.

"No problem."

The woman disappeared for a minute before returning with the sleek dress in hand. She handed it to Maka and showed her to the changing rooms, which were empty except for her and Tsubaki.

It took longer than it should have for Maka to distinguish how to put it on. But when she slipped it over her head the meister was surprised to find how well it fitted. Not only that but it looked good as well.

The dress was kind of exposing, but with Maka's new grown curves it made her look so good. The back of the dress was exposed, revealing all the way down to Maka's lower back, and the length was shortish, but not short enough to be...slutty. –she settled on- Black seemed to be her colour. Although she would have to wear stockings with it. The front dipped in slightly, just enough to show a little cleavage, but not too much.

To say it suited her would be an understatement.

Maka did another full turn in front of the full length mirror, before opening the door to show Tsubaki.

"Oh wow Maka, it's so pretty! You look so good! I think you should get it." She smiled approvingly.

"Yeah i think i will." She replied, blushing at the compliment.

Maka smiled the whole time she was getting changed. She normally had a hard time finding pretty clothes, what with her unwanted flat chest and all. But she had grown lately. The meister was so glad she had found something so beautiful.

But good things always come at a price. She hesitantly glanced at the price tag.

"AH! Tsubaki! It's so expensive!" Maka yelled, slightly disappointed. She opened the change room door to find Tsubaki counting her notes in her purse.

"What are you doing! If you think you helping pay for this your wrong!" Maka told the weapon.

"But Maka-Chan, its so pretty! I'm not letting you leave until we get it." Tsubaki told her confidently, scowling.

"FINE! You can help me pay but I'm paying you back! Maka huffed.

"Yay!" Tsubaki smiled, jumping up and making her way to the counter.

Maka walked out of the shop feeling both pleased but guilty at the same time.

"I hope it will be ok." She thought out loud.

"I'm sure Soul will love it." Tsubaki replied, smiling, somehow knowing what Maka really meant by that sentence.

Maka blushed, but hoped that her friend was right.
