I was laying on a picnic blanket outside after a hard week of going back to school. It was Saturday, and I was taking it easy with all of my friends. My friends barely changed, with one exception: Crona. Crona was barely like her old self since I killed Medusa. She wore normal clothes, talked more often, and even stood up to Ragnarok (more often than not, she didn't, but still. It was progress.)

"Hey Riley?" Crona smiled.

I smiled, thoroughly enjoying being around my friends again. "Yeah?"

"Can I take a picture of you guys?" Crona asked.

Everyone agreed, and we all stood. I, of course, put my arm around Maka and made a peace symbol. She put her head under my neck, and made a peace sign. Soul gave Kylie a hug, which she returned, smiling. Kid took forever, getting himself in the exact middle of the photo (then running off, crying, when I said 'Even if you're in the middle you won't be symmetrical.' I said sorry, but I don't think he heard me.)

Finally, when everyone was ready, Crona set the camera to take a picture and ran into the shot, standing beside Kid, who was marveling at a tree I pointed at that was symmetrical. The picture was taken, and I came out looking relatively not-bad-probably because I had Maka beside me.

Kylie

Monday, during Stein's lesson.

Rye and I had been moved beside each other, like all other teams had been, and I was watching him draw a large-headed girl. He was fairly average at drawing, but better than I was (I was getting pretty good at stick-figures, though.)

"Who's that?" I asked.

"Maka." Rye said.

"Maka looks nothing like that." I said.

"It's a chibi version of her." Rye said. "It's supposed to look like that."

A watched Riley finish the drawing, and admitted "Chibi Maka does look really cute."

Riley smiled right before a scalpel went through the paper and pinned it to the back wall.

'Where does he get all those scalpels?' I wondered as Stein walked to the back of the classroom and took the paper off of the wall, putting it on the blackboard. He had shot the scalpel right between chibi-Maka's eyes.

Riley put his head on his arms, his face burning red as the class laughed, said things like 'get your mind off Maka!', and asked him if he would draw a chibi version of someone they knew.

"Someone kill me." Riley moaned.

I patted him on the back. "It's not like they hate the drawing, and Maka seemed to like it." In truth, Maka was blushing a bright pink and probably would've Maka-chopped him had she been sitting beside him, but I wasn't going to tell Riley that. "It's okay." I said, patting him on the back.

I was on my broomstick, wondering about Riley. He'd went back to DWMA, according to the information I had. After Medusa was killed and the rumors went around that I was the one who put Riley in the coma after he chopped Medusa to bits, I became an extremely infamous witch. So, obviously, I had no problem finding out about anything I wanted without lifting a finger, and Riley was a very important test-subject. When I kissed him, I didn't do it because he looked good; I did it because I put black-blood into him. And, just like Medusa would have done, I watched what was happening.

A/N: Sorry the chapter was so short.
