AN: This one is kind of short, mainly because I just realized I haven't written for two other stories since September ^_^;;

Anyway, enjoy this short thing and I'll be back with a big chappie within the next two days!


Lucy and Maka looked between the two boys, curious as to what was going as they walked forward. Soul walked forward with his hands in his pockets, still trying to look cool while Alex was looking Soul up and down. When they were within general conversation distance of each other, they both grinned, their pointy teeth showing. It looked as if they were generally happy to see each other.

And then the punches started flying.

"You've got a lot of nerve acting all cool even though I taught you what cool is, Mr. Best Friend Who Never Wrote or Called!" Alex exclaimed as his fist collided with Soul's face.

"Well maybe if you didn't live in freaking Moscow where there's little to no phone service, we could call you!" Soul replied while his fist simultaneously collided with Alex's face. "And I was the one who taught YOU how to be cool, liar!"

The fist fight went on for a few seconds more, Maka staring at her idiot like she wanted to kill him. Lucy only watched amused by the situation, and remarking that her idiot needed to learn better insults. In fact, she would probably take him under her wing later and teach him the ropes. The two ladies looked at each other, and decided to end this.

"Maka… Chop!" Soul's Meister proclaimed, slamming him with Collective Works of Shakespeare.

Lucy just sighed as her arm became the part of the baseball bat that was used to hit the ball, slamming it into Alex's skull. The two boys had blood fountains coming out of their heads before long.

Lucy and Maka looked at each other… and then laughed. Maka slumped Soul over her shoulders like a sack of potatoes while Lucy attempted to drag Alex out of the store before he ruined the carpet.

"I'm Maka by the way. It's nice to meet you", she smiled while contemplating helping the other girl with her idiot.

"I'm Lucy. Likewise", she barely got out as she was trying to lift Alex. He didn't look like it, but he was pretty darn heavy. "How do you manage to lift him so easily?" She breathed out while rubbing her shoulders.

"Two years around this idiot will give you some pretty good upper body strength." Maka giggled as Soul stirred in his sleep.

Alex twitched for awhile before getting up, extreme groggily. "Had the weirdest dream that I was hit by an 18-Wheeler or something." He stumbled for a half second before Lucy caught him and supported him.

"Well maybe if you weren't being stupid you wouldn't be in this situation now would you?" Lucy scolded while he smiled at her like a crazy person.

"We should take them to the nurses' office over at the DWMA. I'll lead the way." Maka said, as if she had to do this quite often for Soul, who was still asleep, muttering something about yummy souls and making a song out of it.

"I still want to know why guys are just so stupid sometimes." Lucy sighed as she and her idiot followed the more experienced Meister through the corridors of their new school. Eventually, they wound their way to a small but very professional looking nurses' office.

"Soul being stupid again?" A monotone voice spoke from a rolling chair in a corner.

Lucy almost dropped Alex when she saw the man. His clothes looked like they were horribly sewn together, and his body actually looked like a patchwork doll. But the oddest feature about this man was the screw that actually WENT THROUGH HIS HEAD! Lucy began to back up just in case.

"You must be new students, judging by your reaction." The man chuckled as he stood up to his impressive height. "I am Dr. Franken Stein. It's a pleasure to dissect- I mean, meet you."
