CHAPTER THREE: Dinner With Papa!
I woke up, beeps filled the room and everything was white. I looked over and saw Dr. Stein sitting at a computer very quickly typing. Mid-day sunlight poured through a window the clouds clear the day looked nice, looking over to the other side of me I saw my girlfriend still sleeping. I was completely lost. Where the hell am I? What time is it? What day was it? I heard someone shifting in a chair. I looked straight forward and saw Kid, Liz, Tsubaki, and Spirit sitting.
"Soul-kun! You're awake!" Tsubaki rejoiced giving me a hug as I came to my senses.
"Hey punk! What happened!?" Spirit looked like he was ready to make me go to sleep again.
"The last thing I remember is holding onto Maka as a tree fell through Tsubaki's house" I layed back down, my head hurt really bad it pounded, and having Spirit yell at me was not helping.
"Yeah, when the tree fell through a branch fell on you and Maka, Blackstar was quick to grab her and Tsubaki helped me carry you guys to Dr. Stein, scared my poor Liz out of her mind especially since just moments before you told her your surprise for Maka" Kid explained patting Liz who had a ghost white face.
"What's today? Wait when did that happen? Huh?!" I buried my face in the pillow I had, and snuck a peek at Maka, she looked beautiful
"Well, it happened saturday night and right now its monday evening" Liz ruffled Kid's hair.
"Why am I here? did something bad happen to Maka or me?" I was still so lost.
"No, you guys are fine but that branch did take a whap to your heads and there were a few minor scratches" Stein explained riding on his chair around the room. He tried to go around to Maka but hit the edge of the bed and fell backwards in his chair onto the floor and slid into the wall.
"How long are they gonna be on bed rest Dr. Stein?" Tsubaki asked totally reading my mind.
"Till at least tuesday afternoon" Dr. Stein picked himself up.
The light poured into the room shining on Maka, I hoped she was okay I mean if she wasn't okay it be a very hard proposal. The ring! I sat straight up.
"Is our apartment okay?" I was light headed from sitting up so quick.
"Yeah, since its on the third floor, why?" Kid was confused.
"Good..." I sighed with relief.
"Why are you so worried about it?" Tsubaki patted my head.
"Oh, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't destroyed if the ring got lost I'd have to buy another, and it was a custom!" I noticed a bandage on my arm, I wondered when I would get to be back home.
"Ring?" Dr. Stein tried to roll over again, and failed...again. Liz whispered in his ear. I heard him realize what I meant and saw Maka stir, maybe she would wake up soon. Everyone stared at the confused man with messed up white hair and sharp teeth. I simply stuffed my pounding head in the pillow and blocked out their awkward stares. Ugh just let me go home! I'd rather be hugging Maka than having people stare at me! I decided to sleep till further notice.
I woke up again and found Spirit laying on the floor next to Maka and Kid on the couch. Maka was sitting up looking puzzled.
"Soul?" She whispered.
"Yeah Maka?"
"Where are we?"
"Um, from what I gathered earlier, Steins lab or a clinic"
"Earlier?"
"I woke up awhile ago but after your dad and our friends annoyed me I went back to sleep"
"Oh, what happened? are we okay? I only remember making us some drinks and ignoring some thunder"
"Yeah, we're fine just some minor bruising and scratches, well after you came back from the kitchen you clung to me from the thunder and a tree fell through Tsubaki's house and a branch landed on us, thats all I remember but Kid said I tried to block you from it but it knocked us out" I still whispered not to disturb Kid and Spirit.
"Oh, really? Wow...Well no matter what happens i'm glad we're okay!"
"Me too, they said we could go home tuesday"
"Good! We can still do our wednesday and thursday plans! since saturdays was cancelled to go to Tsubaki's"
"Maka, do you like guitar"
"Yeah why?"
"Well, I learned to play a while back maybe you'd like to hear it sometime?"
"Love too!"
"Awesome! Well goodnight"
"Goodnight!"
I went to sleep dreaming and thinking of a song I'd sing to her I wondered if it would be a good proposal.
TUESDAY MORNING:
I woke up to everyone surrounding us and Blackstar was trying to sign Maka's face. She dodged and moved her face every time the pen tried to write. Swerving and moving Maka fell out of the bed hitting the floor as hard as Stein usually does.
"Blackstar! Get the fuck off me!" She rolled dodging another pen swipe.
"Blackstar what are you doing to Maka?" I grumbled.
"I'm going to sign her face! It will make her get better faster because of my stardom!" Blackstar jumped on the bed to look like a star but failed and looked like a moron standing on a hospital bed.
That gave Maka just enough time to stand up and sneak from behind him. "MAKA CHOP!" She slammed 's dictionary on Blackstar's huge head and ego knocking him out to the floor.
"Very nice awakening" I huffed. This was uncool, Blackstar trying to sign Maka's face and almost stepped on her and got himself knocked out. Waking up in my bed would've been better.
"Ah, good morning , now that you're awake I can give you your check up before being able to go home" rolled smoothly in his chair before twisting the huge bolt in his head.
"Don't call me that" I sat up seeing Kid reorganizing something, Blackstar drooling passed out on the tiled floor, Liz tried to calm down Kid as he was furiously reshelving the room, patty sang, Tsubaki helped Maka get back into the bed.
"Hai Soul! Thanks for um, distracting the moron" Maka giggled. So cute. had me do regular things, take my blood pressure, checked for internal bleeding cause the stupid branch landed square on me, I checked out well but fairly grumpy just cause I woke up to symmetry morons with sharpies and well, enough said.
Wednesday morning: (I had nothing more to write there so I skipped the day and went to wednesday)
"Soul!" Maka called talking on the phone. I was watching tv when her father called.
"What" I changed the channel, disney was so uncool for a cool guy like me.
"Do you know how to get to Olive Garden?"
"Yeah"
"Thats where papa will be at eight"
"Got it! Sounds nice"
She hung up the phone and sat next to me when suddenly I remembered, Tomorrow's Thursday! I gotta write that song! I convinced myself it could wait and turned on Call of Duty. I was straight into the game, fighting and winning being a hero!
"Soul, why does Blair want me to look so perfect tomorrow? Whats up your sleeve?"
I didn't answer I was way into the tame to hear her. When she stood up in front of the tv blocking my view.
"Maka! Move! Let me finish this level! Hold on! Move!" I looked around her best I could but she stood in the way. She leaned down and turned the tv off. "NOOO!" I got on my knees and curled up. "Noo-NO!" MAKA WHY NOO!".
"Who are you? Kid?!" I did look like Kid when he's curled up. "Why is Blair acting weird around me?".
"How should I know? She's a cat and a stripper, who knows what goes on in that mind of hers!" I sniffled putting my game controler away. Of course I knew why Blair was like that but at least she's keeping the secret unlike the surprise party Tsubaki planned last year, she went around telling everyone and without knowing it told Maka. What a disaster...
"Thats true, she just said it had something to do with something you said"
"Oh, I don't know. Anyway, what time is it?"
"Noon, why?"
"I'm going to go do somthing, my doors open if you wanna hang out!" I went to my room and pulled out a notebook. I wrote down the words that I had in my head to sing making sure it mentioned every great aspect of Maka.
A few minutes later after I finished writing Maka came in and sat by me. I'm sure she wondered why I was suddenly so suspicious and nervous. I didn't care much she would think i'm losing it by tomorrow if the anxiety keeps building.
"Oi, Maka what do you think your mom thinks of me?" I was curious to know since I hoped to marry her.
Mid-day sun poured in the window warming us up. "Well I sent her a picture of us and told her about you, she thinks that you look pretty cool and sound nice she really wants to meet you!"
Nice! She thinks I'm cool! I am cool! "Nice! I'd love to meet her too!" It was awesome she thought I was cool most people think i'm a freak with my sharp teeth, stark white hair and, red eyes. Hiro! I need to call Ox! I'm gonna get Blackstar and together we're gonna kick his ass!
"Only a few hours till we have to go see papa bleh, I wonder why he wanted to hang out so bad"
"Can I borrow your phone? Mines charging" I was gonna call over Blackstar and call Ox so we could chew him out, and maybe even call Hiro.
"Sure, I'm gonna go start getting ready for dinner" Standing up, I pulled Maka into a hug she smiled and went to her room. I called Blackstar hoping he would pick up since it was from Maka's phone not me.
"Oi! Blackstar here god of gods! Can I help you!?" He answered stuffing food in his face, he's always doing that but now was not the time I had to get Ox for leaking information.
"Blackstar! Get over here now! I might let you beat someone up!"
"OKAY! BE OVER IN A SEC!"
After hanging up he appeared at my door and I explained the plan he agreed but asked why I was so mad at Hiro. Anyone who makes Maka cry, will cry! I thought cause its true, if Hiro did anything to mess this up for me he well lets just say he would have a nice long nap. Next I called Ox with Blackstar by my side.
"Hello! Ox here!"
"OX YOU BASTARD!" Blackstar jumped right in front of the phone almost through the window.
"What did I do?" Ox was playing innocent. That was uncool!
"Don't fucking play innocent! I heard you telling Hiro about our conversation! All for Kim! She hates you man! And you go leak my personal information to Hiro! Maka's fucking ex boyfriend that made her cry!? Where's your heart!?" I yelled into the phone shoving Blackstar aside.
"S-Soul I'm so sorry he promised to get Kim to like me I had to! I- I'm so sorry" Ox stuttered a lot.
"SORRY DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING YOU PEICE OF SHIT!" Blackstar was also shoving me.
"Hiro better not do anything or I'll have Blackstar go all god like on your ass!" I was pissed that he has the nerve to say sorry after what he did to ruin Maka and I.
"No! No! Please! Not Blackstar!" Ox begged, I know his weakness now! I snickered. Next I called up Hiro, I was sure he would answer fast since I was using Maka's phone. Of course when it comes to stupid ex's I was right and he quickly answered with one ring time frame. Of course he did. I huffed.
"OI! MAKA! ARE YOU OKAY?! I LOVE YOU! COME BACK TO YOUR HIRO!"
"NOPE! ITS THE ALMIGHTY BLACKSTAR HERE TO KICK YOUR ASS FOR MANIPULATING OX!" Blackstar had an amazing intro Soul's Face: ~-~'
"Alright listen punk! I know what you made Ox do and if you come near me or Maka without our permission you won't see daylight ever again!" I cracked my knuckles, I was gonna kick his ass if he didn't listen.
"S-Soul! I-I dont care what you fucking say! Maka will be mine! I'll propose to her myself if she would accept! Your bad people Soul Evans! Being in gangs! Fighting a shinigami their first day of school! You may be her partner and saved her from death but your a bad influence!" Hiro spat trying to lower my self esteem but not only did it make me mad, it enraged Blackstar since he wasn't mentioned.
"ALRIGHT YOU WIMP! I'M HANGING UP BUT YOU ARE SO DEAD NEXT TIME I SEE YOU!" Blackstar screamed in the phone. He hung up and without a word walked home. I looked at the clock it was already 7:30. I rushed putting on a suit with thin stripes and combing my hair I tried to put on the tie but failed...miserably...I actually almost choked myself.
"Soul! Ready to go?" Maka stood in the living room in an emerald dress that went to her knees with ruffles on the side and a golden ribbon around her waist, instead of normal pigtails her hair was down by her shoulders very precisely curled with her always shaggy bangs in her eyes.
"Um kinda can you fix my tie? I'd prefer not to choke myself" I showed her my tie mess. I began to sniffle. Oh crap! Not a nosebleed!
"Soul?"
"Hmm?"
"Why's your nose bleeding?"
"Um- ah um, you look really pretty!" I was quick to change the subject hoping she wouldn't mind.
She fixed my tie and helped me stop bleeding. Hopping on my motorcycle we were off to meet her father. Once there we saw Spirit with yet another girl under his arm. I put my arm around Maka to prove she was mine and only mine! Just in case Hiro showed up.
He saw us and it was all over "MAKA! GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" he shoved us apart.
"I oughta say the same to you papa" Maka escaped his hug and went back over to me.
"Please take a seat I assume the whole party's here?" The man at the desk showed us to a table. I once again, despite the looks from Spirit placed my arm around Maka once more. we sat at the booth and looked at the menus.
"Anyway, hi papa! How's a goin'!" Maka smiled despite Spirit and I's hatred.
"Fine Maka! I bought a great new condo! Perhaps you can have it if you get married someday it's very nice! Up in the newer part of Death City! Why don't you come by sometime!?" Spirit calmed down and sneered at me as the lady under his arm got up to take orders.
"Awesome papa! Thank you!" Maka smiled drinking her ice tea.
"Ya know spirit, when your not sucking up to Maka, your not so bad" I smirked. Maka was so surprised I said something nice to her father I simply smiled at her best I could.
"Thanks kid" Spirit also looked confused.
THE NEXT DAY:
"Maka-chan! Come start getting ready for your date!" Blair shouted as she shooed me off to my room. Sitting in the room I decided to memorize the song and what I would say. I pulled out the box with the ring. i dusted it and sat it on the desk next to my acoustic guitar.
"Tonight is gonna be great!" I smiled reading my song and making reservations.
