A/N: I still love that last chapter. I used to really dislike BlackStar but as times went on I sorta got a soft spot for him. There's a little part of me that wants to hug him just 'cause, ya know?

So now... reviews, people. That's the real deal. (said that last part to someone the other day and they acused me of watching dickinson's real deal. Let it be known that never in my life have I watched that. In fact, I barely watch tv anymore!)
Akamaruwolf323 - I love your reviews. They always tell me exactly what you like which is awesome. I think BlackStar's mostly moron with a sprinkle of mature here and there ;) I think Soul would probably take it pretty cool, because in the actual anime/manga Soul never says anything about her father that could upset her which is pretty cool :)
yuuki24688 - Aww, ya never know. He could sing like an angel really ;P
Dancing in Crimson - I think you are gonna love how Soul starts to deal with his little crush... trust me ;D I'm excited just writing about it.
Mouers - thank thank thank you for reviewing ;)
SoulEater Wonder - I'm actually blushing now and grinning like an idiot. Your comment totally made my day :D I'm glad your so into this!
sherry yuki - Will do ;)
foreveraliangel - When BlackStar's there, IT'S ALWAYS VODKA FUN! YAHOO! ;P
AnimeFreak8 - Hope you love this chapter!
Spixie303 - I also love the last line ;)

I can't stop listening to 'somewhere only we know' by Keane.

Okays everybody, now from Soul's little crush realization to Maka's little 'omgomgomg I'm in way over my head' realization ;) You guys will probably be mad at me for messing with you after this chapter. :P

5. I'll crush this crush

Maka POV

When Soul had stepped away from me, something in me had been a little... disappointed. I'd instantly crushed that part of me with protests and so Soul had spent lunch being given the silent treatment. The only noise there had been was BlackStar and his stupid 'make me a sandwich' jokes, which had eneded when I'd pulled a book out of my bag threateningly.

After I'd choked down lunch, I made a rapid excuse I couldn't remember and high-tailed it out of there. When I got to my dorm, I slammed the door behind me, breathing heavily and Liz and Tsubaki looked up at me, my back pressed against the door and breathing heavy, like I'd just out-ran the devil himself.

Liz took one look at my panicked expression and told Tsubaki to get the ice cream out of the fridge immediately.

I was sat down at the table with a pot of ben and jerry's. Liz looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Tell us everything."

And I did. I don't know why I'd been so quick to comply, but I think it was Liz's no nonsense tone and Tsubaki's concerned look. I told tehm about my cheating loser of a papa and how for the first time ever, I'd found myself slightly interested in a guy.

Liz, of course, was the first to give her opinion. "Harsh quick judgement, Maka. Not all men are so bad."

Tsubaki nodded in agreement, but I shook my head. "No. I've seen guys like that everywhere and I don't think there's any guy that's not capable of it."

"What about BlackStar?" Tsubaki challenged.

"He's not a guy, he's a blue haired monkey." I replied without missing a beat. That was a belief I'd held almost as long as my men-are-cheaters belief.

Tsubaki frowned, but Liz smirked. "Yeah, well, believe what you like. I can't believe a girl that looks like you has never dated though."

I shrugged. "BlackStar would usually beat up anyone who didn't take no for an answer. Monkey or not, he's got my back."

There was a moment of silence, before Liz stood up abruptly. "Ok, well I gotta get back to Patty before she crayons the walls. I just came over here to tell you I'm holding a party over at Kid's place tomorrow and I want you both there, especially you Maka, since you got out of the last one so quickly. I won't be over here to make sure you dress presentably, since I gotta keep Kid from exploding over assymetrical stuff, so I'm sending over Patty." She looked me in the eyes. "And again, no you can't opt out on this."

I sighed, accepting that I had no chance against the force of nature that is Liz. I nodded and she got up with a grin. "See you there."

Liz POV

Maka's got a crush? Well, this is certainly going to be interesting. Very interesting, indeed.

A/N: Dangerous girl, that Liz. You guys are gonna love what's to come because I can tell you now, it's gonna be fun. *smiles evilly*
Also to those of you who may think Maka's over-reacting slightly, imagine if you thought every guy's a total dickhead and then some guy comes along after a life of never having cared about dating and suddenly you find yourself attracted to that guy? First crushes always make ya panic, people and so does the crushing weight of a long held belief.

Right next chapter I'll be introducing the sorta bad guy to this thing. Yes, he's Asura, but in this he's just a creepy stalker with the intent of killing Maka. I'll also be introducing Chrona, Ragnarok and Blair ;) Oh and it'll be in Maka POV (sorry guys!) because I need her first, then Soul. Apologies to the Soul fangirls. You'll just have to try and survive.

Yeah, I didn't intend to have Asura this and he won't play a major part, but he'll pop up here and there and add a little drama to this thing.

Oh and I'd like to tell you a little something. I wrote four chapters on Sunday so that means
a) I'm super-smug about writing so fast (new record!)
b) I'll have a chapter update for you everyday up to Wednesday, possibly Thursday. :) Since I can't post them all at once :3 It'd spoil my fun ;P

Review or I'll steal your clothes and replace them with Blair's.
It'll be embarrassing for you, trust me.
