That night

"Your hair is so soft, Maka!" Raiven screamed. "Thanks so much! I love the way your nails naturally curve at the tip! I have to file mine." Maka replied. "Thanks, but seriously, Blair… your jugs." Raiven looked at the kitty's chest. "They're huge." She set her hands on her own. "I'm all jealous!" Blair made paws with her hands. "Thanks, Raiven." She smiled. "Are they real?" "You guys ready yet?" Soul opened the door. "Uh… am I missing something?" he asked when he saw the cat and his sister with their hands on their chest. "Almost, get out, Eater!" Raiven threw a pillow at her brother. "Ugh, you guys take forever! Just hurry up, kid just called me screaming about how we're late." He walked away.

"So… Kid…" Maka smirked at Raiven from the mirror. "Ooh, the reaper? He's cute!" Blair purred. "Your point is?" Raiven continued braiding Maka's pig tails. "My point is that he's been acting weird since you got here!" Maka turned. "Whaddaya mean? I've been here a maximum of twenty-four hours." She said as coolly as Soul as she touched up her deep black eyeliner. "He gets all weird when you're around him…" Maka smiled. "How the hell am I supposed to know how he regularly acts? I just met him today." Raiven finished up her makeup. "But anyway, Crona… he is simply adorable! I just wanna hug him!" Raiven giggled. Maka gave her a serious look. "You're changing the subject." She said bluntly. "Grr, how am I supposed to know, Maka? I don't know him!" "Ugh… you'll see soon enough." Maka smiled.

"Damn, Maka, you actually look like a regular person." Soul teased. "Where's Crona?" he asked. "He went out to the corner store to buy himself a water bottle."

Maka wore a baggy t-shirt (that belongs to Soul) and a pair of pink shorts. "Shut up." She blushed. "Let her be, Eater." Raiven smiled walking up behind Maka.

She wore a pair of bigger red and white Jordan basketball shoes, a black shirt with her middle name on the back (Raider) and the shape of her soul on the front and some white shorts with red stitching.

"Alright, let's go…" Soul smiled leading the girls out.

They arrived at the basketball court.

"It's about time! Have you any idea how asymmetrical your timing was? We agreed to meet here at five! Its half past the hour!" kid ranted. "Ugh… we get it, Kid, we're late." Soul whined. "Uh… Death, err... I mean, Kid… it's my fault we're late, I kind of held on to a conversation with Maka too long and that delayed us." Raiven smiled nervously. "I'm sorry." She looked up at him with glowing eyes. "Well then," Kid cleared his throat. "In that case you're forgiven."

Maka smiled. "Told ya." Raiven pushed her away before running off. "So, we playing or what?" she laughed. "YAHOO!" Black*Star joined in followed by Kid and the others.

They played for a short time, until Raiven sensed something. She froze in the middle of a shot. Black*Star blocked it. "Take that!" he laughed. She gasped. "Crona's coming!" she squealed running to the entrance of the court, her hands holding each other near her chest.

Soul and the others looked at her. "What's she doing?" Black*Star asked. "I think she's waiting for Crona." Kid answered. "Crona?" Tsubaki smiled. Maka and Liz sighed. "That's the last guy you should be worried about." They said in unison.

Crona peered from the corner and met up with Raiven at the entrance.

"Hello, Crona." She smiled. "H-hello, Raiven." He smiled back.

They talked for a while.

"Whaddaya think they're talking about?" Kid asked. "Gah, if its boobs again, I'm leaving." Soul added.

All the others could see was Raiven wrapping her arms around Crona. She wouldn't let go.

"What's going on?" Liz asked, confused at the sight.

"H-hey guys…" Raiven walked over as she dried tears from her eyes. Soul looked up. "Okay, what did that little bastard, Ragnarok do to her?!" he barked, grabbing little Crona from his shirt. "N-nothing…" Crona whimpered as Ragnarok appeared from his back. "Leave me outta this!" he yelled. "Soul, stop…! He didn't do anything…" she yelled grabbing his free arm. "Then why are you crying?" he asked letting go of the boy. "C-Crona… poor thing." She whispered giving him another hug. Crona blushed.

"What about him?" Soul asked. "He doesn't deserve this!" she screamed. "Oh…" the whole group smiled in unison. "You told her?" Maka asked. Crona nodded. "She… she asked me why I'm always scared… so, so I started telling her about l-lady Medusa… then she asked me to tell her more, s-so I told her everything." Crona looked down. "No… it's okay…" Maka smiled sympathetically. "I'm sorry…" Raiven whispered still embracing Crona.
