The next morning Maka woke up early to make breakfast for Soul. Maka made eggs, bacon, and toast. Soul walked out in his sweatpants and a T-shirt. "Morning, Soul." Maka smiled putting some eggs on a plate. "Morning, you're up early." Soul observed as he sat down at the table. "Yeah, I don't know how I got to my room last night." Maka said getting the toast and putting some on his plate. "Oh, I carried you to your room." Soul smiled his classic grin. "Oh, th-thank you." She smiled and handed him a cup of tea. "So be ready around 6:30." Soul said as he began eating. "Ok, so what are we doing till then? It's Saturday." She said sitting down and eating her breakfast too. "I'm not going to be here. I have to go get things ready for tonight." Soul said before drinking some of his tea. "What? You're leaving me here alone today?" Maka asked looking at him slightly saddened. "Just till I get home. Then I'll take a shower, get dressed and then we'll leave." He smiled kissing her cheek. "What do you have to get ready?" Maka asked in a cute voice, attempting to find out a small hint of his plan. "Not… Happening." Soul smirked before kissing her forehead. Soul got up from his seat and went to his room.

Soul left shortly after going to his room to change. "What am I going to do today?" Maka asked sitting on the couch. Then suddenly she stood up, worry written across her face. "WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?!" Maka ran to Tsubaki and Blackstar's apartment. "Hey, Maka, what's up?" Tsubaki asked letting Maka in. "I need your help! Please come with me!" Maka said pulling on her friend's arm. "Hey, Maka. If you need help let me, BLACKSTAR, help!" Blackstar said running up to her. "NO!" Maka said before her and Tsubaki left.


"Maka…! What's wrong? Where are we going?" Tsubaki asked as she was being pulled down the street. "I need your help picking out clothes for a date." Maka said as she slowed down and released Tsubaki's arm. "You have a date? Is it with Soul?" Tsubaki asked smiling her calm smile. "Yeah, he's gone to get stuff ready… So I decided to surprise him with new clothes," Maka blushed. "Let's go!" Tsubaki chimed as she linked her arm with Maka's. "Thanks Tsubaki." Maka smiled as they walked towards some stores. "No problem." Her friend replied as they entered their first store.

Maka got home around 4pm and got in the shower. After her shower she blow-dried her hair, and styled it down with a small braid. She then went to her room to get ready. The time was now 6:00pm. Maka heard the front door open then close, then heard Soul's door open. "Maka, I'm taking my shower now, be ready when I get out." Soul said walking to the bathroom. Maka didn't reply, just kept getting ready. Soul got out of the shower and went to his room to get dressed. At 6:25 Soul was in the living room, sitting on the couch. "Maka, are you about ready?" He called. "Just a second!" Maka replied before walking out of her room. Soul stood up and turned to look at his date. "Wow…" Was all he could say. Maka was in a black, halter-top dress with lace gloves up to her elbows with a pair of blood red heels. Maka blushed and glanced over Soul's own attire, he was wearing a black suit with a silk red tie and his hair in its normal spiked fashion. "You clean up really well, Soul." Maka smiled. "Thanks. Maka, you look beautiful." Soul said walking up to her. "This is for you." Soul said picking up a single red rose. "Soul, it's beautiful." Maka said accepting the flower and slow sniff at it's wonderful scent. "Come on," Soul said opening the door for her.


Soul's first part to their date was walking to the park where there was a large fountain with lights shining a pale red. An envelope rested on the edge of the fountain safe from the water. "What's that?" Maka said noticing the envelope. "I don't know, why don't you open it to find out?" Soul said walking with her towards it. She picked it up and opened it, seeing a letter from Soul to her.

'Dear Maka,

We met just before entering the D.W.M.A and we've been partners ever since. At times we fight, but at the best of times we are one cool team. And since then, you've become my best friend. I would trust you with my life, as you do with me on every mission. Now here we are, on our first date. Tonight we will visit different locations that mean something to us. At each location you will find one of three things; a letter, a gift, or a surprise. Your mission now is to be able to understand the meaning and where they came from on our journey as miester and weapon. Do you accept? If yes turn to me and take my hand, if no set the rose down and do as you please. I will not be offended but I will be hurt slightly as I love you so much and want to make you more than just my miester.

Sincerely,

SOUL '

Maka finished reading and turned to see Soul turned around facing away from her in case she was to leave. Maka slowly walked up to him and took his hand. "You mean so much to me, I would go anywhere with you." Maka smiled. "Cool," Soul smiled closing his hand over hers. "Ready to set out on your mission?" Soul smirked walking away from the fountain with her. "More than ready," Maka smiled. "Then let's go to stop number one." Soul said leading her out of the park. They walked down the street towards the woods they were in when they learned group soul resonance.
