Mama,

I've told you about how glad I am that Soul and I both love Pokémon, right? And that he happily agreed to do paired costumes with me! I don't know if you got those letters, but I'll keep trying.

Last year we went as an Eevee and an Umbreon. I was the Eevee, of course. And I think I looked cute. Of course, papa gushed on and on about it but got quite as soul came out as an Umbreon. And oh, did he look dashing as an Umbreon.

Now I'm almost done with the Pikachu costumes. This is going to be fun. We both chipped in to buy certain things, and Soul did help out with the sewing. I didn't know he could sew, He always keeps surprising me

Liz likes to tease me and say we are acting like a couple. Tsubaki just stands up for me and says it's our relationship. We are not, are we? I mean I guess we 'Friendly flirt' but nothing more… I think. He has reiterated that he would never go out with a flat chested girl like me. Plus I have no experience in romantic stuff. One of the closest this I have had to a boyfriend is Soul, if that tells you anything.

How are your travels going?

Please help,

Maka Albarn

P.S. I would love to get some pictures of them

Mama,

So, we have the evening planned out. First, after we get home, I will make dinner and we will change.

He told me that after the party he has something that he wants to ask me. I asked why he couldn't ask me earlier. He couldn't look me in the eye and he didn't give me a straight answer. He said that 'it is too awkward to say now.' Well then. Do you think he's asking to leave me for another partner, Mama? I thought he was different. Maybe he's just like papa to…

But when he can't look me in the eye I know something is up. I know most of his quirks and things by now. It gets more and more curious. I need to go to school now. At least there is no school tomorrow.

I'll write more after school,

11:26 am

Mama, I know it's not after school but I think I know what's up with Soul! I think he has a crush on someone! The way he was acting and blushing was his typical, "cute girl clogging senses" act. But if this is the case I'll still have him as a partner, so that's something.

My nosiness won out and I ended up asking Tsubaki about it. Only because Black * is too much of a loud mouth to tell him anything! Especially if you want to keep it a secret. Tsubaki actually confirmed my theory, more or less.

Her usually kind and soft demeanor gave way a little when she gave me a sarcastic 'really?' look. This raised even more questions. She told me, and I quote, 'Duh!'.

I asked her, "Tsu, what does that even mean?" She then walked away saying we have to go to class. She's right of course, I have to get to class too.

After school

Mama, we're about to leave, dinner s finished and cleaned up after. I have all my homework done and I studied some, so you don't have to worry about that. Patty says I worry too much about that, but she folds her tests into giraffes, so… anyway, We are changing into our costumes. The whole time at dinner Soul looked nervous. I asked him about it but he evaded the question.

We are about to leave. The party is at Kidd's place. I wonder how many people will mess with the 'symmetry'. He will flip out if people do. Soul knocked on my door telling me we have to go or we will be late. He is also asking me what I write in this journal of mine. HA if only he knew.

Picture enclosed is of us (A.N Here is picture of them Sorta…. media/Animal%20Onesie/pikachu% )

Talk to you tomorrow, Mama

Your devoted daughter.

Mama!

It is four in the morning, just got home, and I can't believe what just happened.

It started when Soul saw his ex-girlfriend. He quickly grabbed me aside. He asked me if I was a good actor and, without even waiting for my answer, asked me to play the role of his girlfriend for the night. Much too quickly I had said yes. I shouldn't be this eager just to be this close to him… he's my partner and a boy…

Anyway, as he turned around, I grabbed his sleeve and asked how to act like a girlfriend.

He asked me, "Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

I told him "not unless a preschool relation counted" It's not like I was about to tell him he was the closest thing to a boyfriend I have ever had. He is the one constantly teasing me about how I have no sexual appeal anyway. Why is he surprised!

He slightly laughed to himself. I'm sure he would tell everyone I was pouting but I totally wasn't. I did, however, scold him that I was the one helping him not the other way around. He told me just to grab his arm and giggle at what he says. Me giggle? No damn way and I told him that.

Against my own word though I did grab his arm and dragged him to Tsubaki. I stuck us a conversation with her when this girl came up to us.

She was dressed in a slutty witch costume, hat and all. Soul barely looked at her, much to my surprise. Her boobs were practically falling out of her dress. And the skirt doesn't even reach the bottom of her butt. She was just his type.

She was the stereotypical bottled blond. The roots were turning brown again, maybe she forgot to dye it before the dance?

She tried to talk to Soul, who gave me a funny look. I took the hint, and I saw that his soul was uncomfortable. So I started to intervene in the opposite of a girly giggly voice. My voice was stable and normal and I asked if she knew my 'boyfriend'. She acted like a snippy asshole when she answered. Her voice was clipped and tightened. She had the nerve to tell me I wasn't his type, that I was "much too flat chested to be his girlfriend". That is verbatim, by the way. "Too flat chested to be his girlfriend" I know I am not his type. But it still stung to hear again.

This fueled my rage and took over my mind, so when Soul was about to answer when I cut him off and told her that what I lack in the chest I make up for in other ways and I added a wink. A WINK, ME? I was just as stunned, but those two showed it more. To cover for Soul, and to get rid of his blood starting to trickle out of his nose, I told him he knew better than anyone else.

Who knew I was so sly? I winked, again!, at him and his nose bleed almost started again. He took the hint so he grinned at the girl said that I was very fast, very fun

I nearly laughed at the look on the girl's face. Her mouth open slack and something stirring in her eyes. I went on to tell her we need to lease to schedule a double date with Kidd and Liz. Or triple with Corona and Patty too.

The look on Soul's face made me laugh that I stifled into a giggle. He almost looked like he was dreaming. It was so cute. I tried to get rid of that thought as I dragged him to look for Kidd and Liz.

On the way, Soul told me that I was a pretty good actor. I'M SO HAPPY. Me, being the nosy bookworm I am, asked him who that girl was anyway.

He told me, "Madison my ex-girlfriend. (A/N I hold nothing against Madison's. Promise. But It was the first name in my head when I wrote it the first time and my anxiety tells me I have to say something or I will get so much hate) She always comes after me when I have no girlfriend. She always asks who my ex is… It's really weird.. and when I finally tell her so she'll get away from me... A lot of them come out as like. Bi or something. Weird huh?".

I asked if he really didn't know. I didn't hear his reply cause in my head, the gears were grinding. I was trying to figure out how that figured into Madison I assume he said yes though. When a partial click occurred, I laughed in spite of myself. I thought my brain was being too weird!

I then saw Kidd and Liz, Patty and Chrona sitting next to them. The boys in the middle. I grabbed Soul's hand and dragged him there. Kidd commented on how symmetrical we were, a lovely compliment. I thanked him. Corona squeaked out a shy hi and waved at us. Ragnarok screamed a hello at us, the most polite he's ever been and then got candy from Patty. (Patty was training Ragnarok to be nice to people. If he was he got candy; if not he got broccoli. It was actually pretty clever.) Soul and I sat down while Patty and Liz stared.

"What?" I asked confused. Liz pointed while Patty Laughed loudly. My blush radiated from my cheeks to my ears. I was about to let go when Madison came up to us. I didn't notice her, but Soul grabbed my hand tighter. I took it as a hint to not let go. At first I thought she would want to talk to Soul but she turned toward me.

"Can we talk outside?" she asked. Soul said no really fast, as I would leave him if he let me leave with her. I said ok and kissed souls cheek before letting go of his hand.

I whispered "don't worry about me" in his ear and finished with, "see you soon"

We walked to Kidd's backyard. I leaned against one of the two very symmetrical trees, they were tall the leaves were changing to beautiful colors. I had no time to admire it cause the minute I turned to her and asked what she needed and she attacked me.

She turned her arm into a switchblade and swiped out at me. If I were anyone else, it would have cut my skin, but thanks to the training at the school, I could dodge easily. I got pissy cause I had to inform her that she ripped my costume and that she could just answer like a normal person. This totally ticked her off. She attacked again and I of course dodged. She wasn't fast enough, she was an underclassman. Her hand got stuck in the tree, she yanked at it trying to get it out without transforming it back.

I'm ashamed to admit, Mama, but I started laughing. I hadn't realized, at the time, that there was a crowd was starting to form. But I honestly should have expected it. Two girls fighting in Death's mansion, of course it was mostly made up of pervy guys and curious girls.

I only barely heard what she mumbled It was something along the lines of "I can't believe you're his girlfriend." The way she stressed his… it was odd. Does she think I would be someone else's? Then the light bulb went off in my head.

"You shouldn't hide yourself to please someone otherwise you will be unhappy." Her voice seemed to soften, like she was trying to reason with a toddler or a child. Or maybe even Soul. But I couldn't contain the idea that came up and started laughing harder. I was laughing so hard that I fell to the ground. The crowd kept shouting fight, fight, fight over and over but when they saw me fall it started to fade out in confusion. Then Soul burst threw the crowd and saw me on the ground laughing. Madison just kept looking at me and couldn't talk she was so stunned. Soul asked why I was laughing so hard.

I told him the truth. She. Is. A. Lesbian. I figured she mostly goes after his girlfriends because she thinks he has a good taste in girls, or their bodies at least. I mean. He did choose her.

He then said the last thing I thought he would. He said she might go after me next if I say yes. He asked me out. HE ASKED ME OUT! I was so excited I tackled him squealing out my "yes". Oh, but the best part, the best part is that I kissed him!

Your Happy daughter,
