"What," Erebus and I asked in unison. "What is impossible?"

"I… umm, nothing, nothing. I just made a mistake. You're compatible. I just thought I saw something but I must have been seeing things," Kidd said. Yeah, sure, a mistake. His face was still a bit, well, surprised and confused. I wanted to ask him about it, but Kidd was a weird person, and anything could make him freak out. He had that I-don't-want-to-give-away-anything look written all over him.

"Okay then," I turned to Erebus, who was daydreaming, apparently. Stars seemed to sparkle in his eyes while he did that. Oh dear I really didn't want to like him. If he was going to be my miester and we went out and broke up, I would have to find a new miester. This could be really, really bad. "So, Erebus, what about the whole weapon-miester thing? We could enroll at the DWMA."

"Huh?" Erebus zoned back in. "Oh, yeah. Give me a day or two and I'll tell you. 'Kay?"

"Got it." I ripped a piece of paper off his fridge and scrawled my number on it. I handed it to him. "Text me when you've got an answer."

I spun on my heel. "Bye." Walking out the door was hard. I wanted to stay and have talks with him and hang out on the couch and watch movies together and… oh my, I really was getting out of hand. Inhale. You're not in love. Exhale. You're getting a partner possibly. Or at least a good friend. Anyway, where was Kidd? I felt a hand on my shoulder. Why did he always do that? It's not like Kidd was my Dad or something. Ugh, he needed to be more casual. What was with the suit? It was like, 1000 degrees out!

"Hey, Anj?" Kidd said a bit timidly. That was slightly scary, because he was usually so cool.

"Yeah, what?"

"Well, when I said there was something strange, I meant your souls are nearly the same thing. They are the same soul. I don't know what to do about it. My advice is to enroll and ask Lord Death about it."

The news hit me like a freight train. I was sort of scared and I wanted to go home. Did our souls split? Maybe our souls were … never mind. Kidd probably just made a mistake. I was different from the boy with my number. I was me.

I realized that I should be getting home, as it was already four-thirty. As I jogged down the sidewalk, I realized that there were things I never noticed before. I noticed the cracks in the sidewalk. How did they get there? And how did the little plants break through cement when I could barely throw a basketball into the hoop? I sensed a presence of weakness which I did not like at all.

Heuh! I made a strange sound as an arm wrapped around my stomach and stopped me from jogging. I felt all the air leave me. Who was that? I didn't want to be kidnapped! I quickly turned around my head to see who had me in a french dip. I guessed it was accidental, but it was still pretty awkward. Why had Erebus followed me here? Um, that was weird. I took out my earphones.

"Well, looks like I have a stalker. Also can you let me go? This is pretty painful." I commented.

"Uh, err, sorry. You almost ran into the street though! So I had to stop you! And anyway the reason I followed you here is because you forgot your sweater. You should take out your ear buds occasionally. I have to go home so bye!" He said with a slight blush appearing on his face.

"M'kay bye!"

As soon as I got home I flopped on my bed. This was a long day, so many things happened. I just wanted to eat my dinner and go to bed.

"Sweetie! Time to eat! Did you have a good time?" my mother called from the floor below me.

"Coming!" I replied. As soon as I got down the stairs, I smelled the amazing pasta dish awaiting on the table. I love pasta. With a passion. Like, insanely.

"So did you find a miester yet?" my mother asked.

"What's a miester?" AJ, the 5 year old devil of the family asked while he flung his half eaten spaghetti into the center plate. While my mother explained, I tried to sneak some bread from the other side of the table.

"Anj, eat your salad first," my father ordered. I didn't like this dressing but whatever. I could deal.

"Mum! I think I found a miester! His name is Erebus, and he said he'll tell me if I can be his weapon. Isn't that great?" I told my mother. "Kidd said he'd be a great miester, and we had compatible wave lengths!"

"Awesome." My mom said while gently taking some of the bread I tried to have earlier.

I cleared my plate and ran upstairs after grabbing the bread I desired so badly. I ate the bread and fell asleep watching videos of cute little kittens.

Zzzzt! Zzzzt! I heard my phone vibrate at about 5:30. Who was it now? Who is up at five-thirty AM?

Ugh, summer was supposed to be a time where I could sleep in. I picked it up.

I like the weapon-miester thing. You have a deal. Should we enroll next month?

I knew this text was from Erebus. Awesome. I felt like smiling and screeching but all I could do was hug my blanket with enough force to rip it. I just wanted to hug him, I guess. This was quite possibly the best day of my life. I ran down stairs and out the door in a tank top and some grey sweatpants and jumped on my trampoline for about an hour. I was ecstatic. When my mom found me, however, she was not so happy I woke her up so early. But of course when she heard that it was because I got a miester she was all happy for me. I quickly was offered a cup of hot cocoa (it was a cold summer morning) and we talked and talked about enrolling me in the DWMA and how I should behave and when my father woke up we had to tell him as soon as possible. In the end it was decided that

I was going to the DWMA

I would be living with Erebus if he agreed to let me

I would get monthly packages of food from my mum and dad.

It was all a good plan. But I couldn't remember something. What was it? Then I realized, what would living with the same soul feel like?
