Days went by, getting closer and closer to my party. It was now only…four days away, and I was getting nervous. But I didn't let it show

I sat down next to Silara and prepared myself for another lesson on dissection.

"This is so stupid!" I whispered to her.

"Isn't it?" she replied, and rolled her eyes.

Stein wrote something on the chalkboard and stepped away so everyone could see what it read. My heart dropped.

POP QUIZ: DISSECTION

I barely ever paid attention in class! I usually stared off into space or drew in my notebook. Stein handed out the dang test to everyone and told us we had the whole class to complete it.

"Begin." he said.

Okay, how many questions? Forty-five?! Crap…

I sighed and printed my name at the top. With an uneasy feeling, I started the test.

After School

"That was stupid! I mean, come on, a test on dissection?" I complained to Soul and Maka.

"Well, that's Dr. Stein for ya." Maka said. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Stein… Geez, where do I begin? He sent me and Silara to Weapons' Training and pulled us out on our first day! Dang, he really needs to make up his mind." I went on.

"Stein may seem like an idiot, but he's not. He helped us defeat the witch Medusa. Numerous times." Soul spoke. He wasn't really defending Stein, but more assuring me of what he was really like.

We arrived at their place soon. Maka and I sat on the couch while Soul made dinner for the first time. Well, the first time I'd ever seen.

"Hey, Angel. Soul and I are having a movie night tomorrow. Everyone's invited and the girls and I are having a sleepover afterwards. Wanna come?" Maka asked. I thought it over for a moment

"Sure. Did you invite Silara too?"

"Of course I did!" she lowered her voice a little, "I'm trying to convince Soul to go over to Black Star's or Kid's for the night. You know, so he won't bother us."

"Well too bad! I live here and nobody's making me leave. Especially when the place will be filled with girls." Soul chimed in, causing me and Maka both to jump. I grabbed a pillow and chucked it at Soul's head.

"Ow! Watch it, Red!" he shouted.

I giggled and turned back to Maka. "Tomorrow night will be interesting."

The Next Day

I pulled a bag down from my closet and packed a blanket, my brush, clothes for tomorrow, and my pajamas. Slinging the bag over my shoulder, I grabbed a pillow and walked out the door. It was still light out and it made me feel a bit better. I stopped at Kid's so we could all walk together.

"Hi, Angel. Come on in. We'll only take a minute." Liz said as she answered the door. I noticed there were three bags on the couch.

"Whose bag is that?" I asked.

"Two are mine. One's for clothes and the other is for make-up. The extra is Patty's, obviously." Liz replied.

"Oh, joy. Make-up…" I said sarcastically.

Kid and Patty came downstairs. "Are we ready yet?" Kid asked. Liz and Patty nodded their heads and we all left for Soul and Maka's.

At Soul and Maka's

When we arrived, Silara and Tsubaki and Black Star were already there. The girls were in their pajamas already. I went to Maka's room and changed into my black pants with white skulls on them and my red tank top that had a silhouette of a bird on it and pulled my hair back into a ponytail.

I sat down on the couch next Silara. She wore a jersey style nightgown that was blue and green and had the number eleven printed on it. Her hair was down and neatly scooped back with a green headband.

"Know what we're watching?" I asked her.

"Nope. Well, Maka said something about a horror movie." Silara answered.

"Cool."

Soul sat down on the other side of me. "Hey Red. You talking 'bout me?" he said.

"You wish. Actually, we were talking about the movie."

"Oh? Yeah, it's kinda creepy."

"Good, I wanna be up all night!"

"I know I will be." Soul glanced around the room at all the girls. He ended with me.

I punched him in the arm. Soul looked almost sorry.

Maka came out of her room, a movie in hand.

"Movie time!" she said, raising her arms in the air. There was a cheer from everyone in the room.

"This'll be a scream!" Patty said from across the room. I couldn't help but smile.

Before the movie started, Maka made everyone get off the couch. She and Soul pulled the cushions off and flipped the inside out, revealing a mattress.

"Okay! Now everyone will have more room." Maka said, gesturing for everyone to sit back down. We all resumed our previous positions. A few people sat at the end so they could see the movie better. I rested my head against the back of the couch. Only it wasn't the couch. It was somebody's arm. I looked over.

"Soul, move your dang arm!" I said, shoving him away. He smirked at me and I rolled my eyes.

The movie started with a look at the full moon during a thunder storm. Well that's not cliché.

After the Movie

"Later guys." I said, waving to Kid and Black Star. They waved back and left.

"Be right back." Liz said to us, and went into Maka's room, where all the bags were stored. She came out a second later with one of her bags.

Oh no. I thought to myself.

"I brought make-up!" Liz shouted happily and dropped the bag on the end of the mattress.

"And that's my cue to leave!" Soul said, heading for his room.

"Oh, no, no. You said you wanted to stay, so stay!" I told him, grabbing his arm and pulling him back down on the mattress-couch.

"You gotta be kidding, Red."

"Nope. You can sit through make-up torture with me."

An Hour Later

I didn't let them do any make-up on me except black nail polish. I really am not into all that girl crap. And while the girls beautified themselves, I help myself to some pizza in the kitchen.

"I thought you said we both had to through make-up torture." Soul said as he grabbed a slice of pepperoni and sat down next to me.

"Did I?" I asked sarcastically. We both let out a laugh. Soul's eyes glinted as well as his sharp teeth. I cocked my head and just stared at him for a moment.

"What?" he asked, cocking his head and mimicking me.

"Huh? Oh, nothing." I replied casually. I continued eating my pizza. Soul looked down and played with something in his hands. I couldn't tell what it was.

"What's that?" I asked him. He quickly put it away, as if it were a big secret.

"Nothing." Soul said. I was a little suspicious of what he had. But I was sure it wasn't a bomb. A bomb can't be that small. Not that I thought Soul, of all people, would have a bomb.

All of a sudden, Liz was there.

"Soul… I was wondering…" she started. Soul looked a little sacred. "Can I sleep in your room tonight? You can sleep out here. I mean, I have back problems from always being in weapon form. And it's hard for me to sleep anywhere than a normal bed."

Soul's face lightened. "Ah… what about Maka's room?" he asked. I figured he'd say yes so he could sleep in a room full of girls.

"Maka's sleeping there."

"…Fine."

Liz smiled and thanked as she went back with the others.

"Well aren't you sweet?" I teased.

"Can it, Red!"

I giggled and shoved him lightly.

"Angel, we're playing Truth -or-Dare!" Patty exclaimed.

"You can hide now." I told Soul.

"Thank you." he replied, and dashed into his room. I rolled my eyes.

"Angel, come on!" Silara said. I dragged myself to the living room and sat on the edge of the couch while everyone else sat on the floor in a circle.

"Silara, you first!" Maka chirped.

"Okay!" she replied.
"Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Who do like? As in like-like."

Like-like? What are we, kindergarteners?
"Oh… I kinda like Kid…"

Silara blushed.

"Truth or dare, Tsubaki?" Silara asked.

And on and on it went.

"Angel?" Liz said.

"Hm?"

"Truth or dare?"

"Uh…" I began. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Soul's bedroom door was cracked open. Just enough so he could hear.

"Truth."

"Okay, who do you like?"

His door opened a little more.

"Did I say truth? I meant dare."

"Alright, I dare you to answer that question."

I smiled deviously. "Look." I whispered so only the girls could hear me, and jerked my thumb towards Soul's door. They knew what I meant.

"Well, I like Soul!"

Just as I finished my sentence, Soul fell through his door.

"Soul Evans!" Maka scolded. "Were you eavesdropping?"

His face turned red.

"Uh… a little…" he admitted.

Well, duh…

I smirked and grabbed my pillow, and started beating Soul with it. And it wasn't long before he hit me back with his own pillow.

"This means war." I joked. Silara backed me up and hit him in the head. Pretty soon, it was an all-out pillow fight. Which I bet Soul loved.

Two Hours Later

Everyone had fallen asleep a half hour ago. Except me and Soul.

"So you like me?" Soul teased, popping another movie in.

"Knock it off already!"

He laughed and sat back down.

"Comedy." Soul said, referring to the movie.

"Okay."

"Popcorn?"

"Please!"

I grabbed a handful and shoved it in my mouth.

"This better be funny." I said, still swallowing a few kernels.

"Not really. But I'm tired and this movie puts me to sleep." he shrugged.

"Fine. I'm a little tired too." I replied, sinking down into the covers more. I was wedged between Silara and Soul and Soul was stuck between me and the arm of the couch.

About a third of the way through the movie, my eyes got heavy. Soul was barely awake. I tugged at the blanket and gave way to a blissful sleep.

Soul's POV

I had just fallen asleep when something was put down on my chest. It was Angel.

"Um, Red?" I asked, tapping her shoulder. She was sleeping. I didn't want to wake her, so I just let her lie there. Before I fell back asleep, I found myself wrapping my arm around her pale shoulders.
