His Nightmare Before Christmas
Chapter 3
Anything For You
With a bounce behind him, Sninigami-Sama sounded off backstage. "Hello hello, Everybody!" He leaned down upon all of the students. "Thanks so much for coming to our first dress rehearsal!"
"Yes, Shinigami-Sama!"
"Alllllright!" He then tilted to the side. "What scene should we start with today?"
"Sally's Song!" Ana shouted.
"When the Trick-Or-Treaters come in!" Her weapon shouted next. Shinigami-Sama as about to acknowledge his suggestion, when everyone got out of hand. They started crying out for different scenes. But all was hushed once Shinigami-Sama clapped his massive, cubed hands together. It was as if someone fired a gun. Everyone just was either stunned because they didn't do anything, or at full attention; they were used to such treatment. "I have decided! We'll do when the Trick-Or-Treaters come in!"
"So we're both not in this scene." Maka said, looking up at Soul. Soul nodded, only half way. "I am, actually." At that fact, Maka lowered her head. "Oh…"
"But!" Shinigami-Sama interrupted with a finger wag, "Those who don't have a costume must sit out! So our Jack cannot play today!" Both Maka and Soul sighed; for some reason; they weren't in the mood. "So," Marie said, besides Shinigami-Sama, "We're doing Kidnap the Sandy Claws!" All of the Trick-or-Treaters rushed on-stage. "Sweet!" The Lock climbed up. "Awesome!" The Shock soon followed. The Barrel was just as quiet and dark as ever. Stein beckoned all three backstage to make sure everyone was ready and able. Everyone else made their way in one huge crowd to the audience. As the seats filled up, Maka and Soul sat to the side. "I take it Wes is bringing your costume?" Maka asked him as they sat down. Soul nodded, not taking his eyes off the stage as he fidgeted with his hands. "Least it'll be professionally made." Maka said sheepishly. "But what do you have against your brother, Anyway?" Soul took some time to glare. "…Way to ask the most personal question ever." Maka fell guilty. "I-I'm sorry.." The music had started, and so did the song. There were the Trick-Or-Treaters. Happy as could be!
Kidnap Mister Sandy Claws?
"He was always better than me."
I wanna do it!
Let's draw straws!
"And I'll never be capable of his musical talents."
Jack said we should work together!
Three of a kind!
Birds of a feather!
Now and forever!
Wheee!
La lalalalala, lalalalala, lala lalalala, lalalalala!
"And the fact that he found out makes me think he'll get a part and end up upstaging me…" Maka looked at Soul in awe. "No…No way! He'd never upstage you!" Soul glared at her yet again. Wes was a very touchy subject. "And how do you know that? You have no power over that damned cast list, do you, Angel-chan?" Maka found herself blushing at the name Angel-chan and turned away. "W-What if I had support?"
Kidnap the Sandy Claws!Lock him up real tight!Throw away the key and then,Turn off all the lights!
First were going to set some bait,Inside a nasty trap and wait!When he comes a-sniffing,We will snap the trap and close the gate!
Soul's laughter echoed, interrupting their friends sitting nearby. "Support? Like what?"
"The character I play!"
"Don't make me laugh harder, Maka."
"No, Soul. I'm serious."
"Bullshit."
"Jack and Sally are the pair of the play, Soul…" Maka's anger faded; her voice became more calm and compassionate. It was enough to make the stubborn Soul turn his head slowly back to her as hers lowered in thought. Her voice was calming him. "So I'll make sure you stay as Jack…"
"…Thanks, Maka."
Wait! I got a better plan,To catch this big red lobster man,Let's pop him in a boiling pot,And when he's done,We'll butter him up!
Kidnap the Sandy Claws!
Throw him in a box!
Bury him for 90 years,
Then see if he talks!
Then Mr. Oogie Boogie man,
Can take the whole thing over then!
He'll be so pleased I do declare,
That he will cook him rare!
Whee!
"Just a bit higher, Ana!" Marie coached her on. "Kayyy!" She responded, she then raised her pitch up higher. Ana wanted to be a voice actress later in life; so this was easy for her.
I say that we take a cannon,
Aim it at his door and then,
Knock three times, And when he answers,
Sandy Claws will be no more!
You're so stupid;Think now!
if we blow him up to smithereens,
We may lose some pieces,
And then Jack will beat us black and green!
Shinigami-Sama rejoiced at the perfect harmony the three were giving. "Good work! Keep at it!"
Kidnap the Sandy Claws!
Tie him in a bag!
Throw him in the ocean then,
See if he is sad!
Maka was let go from Soul's hug, and smiled at him. "Anything for you." The two began to get lost in each other's eyes. It was true; Maka loved Soul's rubies that were intense with compassion and determination. Soul loved Maka's emeralds of seriousness yet they were always so cheery twords him. He has never seen them without one star. Screams from the stage stopped the daydreamers with a scare. Both wondered what Black Star had done wrong now if it wasn't for the fact he was right besides them. They turned to the stage; seeing the performance was halted.
Thanks to a familiar purple cat. She had her costume on, yes. But only the hood was on right. The neck of the outfit was torn down to her chest with cleavage; and the collar was the only thing censoring her besides the hoodie itself which didn't cover her lower parts. Luckily, she had white underwear to match. "Bu-tan is ready for her part!" Blair exclaimed. "FFFFFF!!!" Soul had a nosebleed; having to whip it on his red, black and white stripped sweater; now with even more red. "GODAMNIT, BLAIR!" Maka screeched, "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STAY IN CAT FORM!"
"Oh!" Blair finally realized. She looked down at her smutty outfit. "No wonder Bu-Tan had to get it custom made…"
"Get off the stage!" Blair proofed into pink smoke at Marie's yell; now her familiar cat size. Sure, the hoodie was torn, but she still had her regular cat one. "Bu-Tan better now?"
"VERY!" Soul yelled as she scampered backstage. He turned his gaze to Maka, who had her head in the palm of her right hand. "Why Blair as Zero…?"
"Why is it that big of a deal?"
"Because there's a scene with you she could easily take advantage of.. Its not fair."
"What the hell? How is it not fair?"
"It just…! URH!" Maka turned back to the stage in her huff and watched the annoying idiot Black Star and her best friend Tsubaki get up on the stage. They were doing the town meeting scene when Jack went missing. But all the other citizens were back stage. "She better not do that opening night…" Maka mumbled, Soul still In range to hear it. "Why do you care?" He said, raged a bit. "I just told you!" She hollered back, "Did you listen to me?? You never listen!"
"Since when have I never listened?"
"That party where I asked you to pl--!"
"Playing the piano is different." At their bickering, Tsubaki looked over and began to worry. She hated it when they fought…"Really?" Maka screamed again, "How is it different, smartass?" At her question, Soul stood up and began just walking away, and out. His stubborn meister followed. "Answer me, Soul." But grabbing his shoulder to stop him is where Maka took a wrong turn. He shook her off and turned around coldly. A stare is what made her cringe. "You said you'd do anything for me, right?"
"Of course! Have you not heard me the last ten times?!" Maka's tone was raised again, which just enraged Soul to the point that his stare got colder. And there was so much he could have said instead, but alas.
"Then butt out."
Maka's entire body tensed. He was so cold to her that she felt like a block of ice from his stare, and the words that were now scared over her heart. It took him three seconds to realized that that had hit her before he decided to continue making his way, and slammed the door. Maka just stood there as Marie ran around. "Scene three rehearsal!" She ran over at the sight of Maka all alone. But right when Marie had bounced her way over, Maka's head was now lowered; her eyes shadowed so no one would see her tears. Marie blinked cluelessly. She looked left, then looked right. Soul was gone. That was unusual for them, ever since they got the part. One would think they had hooked up over the fact, but that wasn't the case. Obviously. "…Where's Soul?" She asked with a head tilt "Upset, no thanks to me…" She mumbled darkly, choking back tears. "Aw, sweetie…"
"No, I-I'm fine.. Did you need him for something?"
"No, but I do need you…think you can do it?"
"Y-Yeah!" She rubbed her eyes with her arm, forgetting the dress had no sleeves. Owch. "Let's go!"
"Alright…"

Have you guys realized that there's at least one cussword every chapter? .-.; I'm sorry; I should get out of the habit, eh?
I was gonna put a key here, but I figure its more helpful if you listen to the song while reading to figure out who's who. :3
I feel so sorry for the gang; they must be scared after Blair's Zero mishap. XD;; And does anyone know what scene Maka's referencing? I'll give you a cameo if you want it!
