5. meet the gang

Chrona walked up the steps to the DWMA. Everyone she passed smiled and waved to her. And some occasionally said, "hey Chrona!" she smiled and waved back. A few guys checked her out. She didn't mind or care.

At the top of the steps stood her friends. She waved to them and they waved back.

"hey Soul, any word from Maka?" she called to the white haired young man as she started to run up the steps.

"I got a postcard yesterday. She's in Istanbul." He was leaning forward on the brick wall and sounded more than happy to tell her the news. "she says she misses all of us, but mostly you and me."

"how is she…" Chrona was cut off by the blue haired young man.

"how can Maka not miss me and my bigness more than you guys?" Black Star almost yelled.

"Black Star!" Tsubaki tried to calm him down. "I'm sure Maka misses you a lot." She sighed. "by the way, Chrona was trying to ask a question."

"Oh, I'm sorry Chrona. My bigness just got ahead of me. Ask all the questions you want." He started to laugh.

"Thanks." She flashed a sweet smile at him. She then looked at Soul with a smile on her face. "How is she doing?"

She looked over her friends. They hadn't changed much since they all met. It had been only 3 short years since then. Chrona herself had changed a lot, but everyone else was pretty much the same. Kid still obsessed over symmetry, Black Star was still obsessed with himself, and Soul was still, well, cool. Liz and Patty were still that dynamic duo, and Tsubaki was still Black Star's faithful kind hearted cheerleader.

"she's good. She wants to know how you're doing." Soul smiled at her.

"good." She smiled.
