When the seven of them get inside they spot a wide range of people. In one corner Sid is talking with Lord Death. In another Professor Stein is having a somewhat stressful conversation with Marie and Spirit, Maka's father. As they walk in they spot Crona and Ragnarok Standing alone, well alone as you can get when your partner is your blood. He waves nervously as they walk over. "Hi guys." He says. Ragnarok appears and starts insulting them all in his usual way. "What's with this? Last time you guys held a party the Keshin ended up being re-awakened!" Kid sighs and shakes his head. "Honestly can't you be a little bit more civilized? Now I'll be right back. I have to be with father for his speech." With that he leaves taking his place next to Spirit behind Lord Death. "Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy the party and the food!" The crowd stays silent waiting for him to continue. When he doesn't Kid takes over. "After the last few months, we thought it'd be nice if we all gathered together to celebrate the down fall of the demon god Asura! Please enjoy yourselves!" They clap with the other guests but we all know that Lord Deaths speech was plenty enough with out reminding us of what happened. Kid re joins them. Then to Maka's disgust followed by her father. She turns to talk to Tsubaki, making a point she doesn't want to interact with him. Kid and Soul notice this and start signalling for Spirit to back off. He takes one look at Maka nods and walks over to Stein. "I need some air! Is it ok if I go into the garden for a bit Kid?" Maka asks. She's flushing, probably from the body heat. "Sure go ahead!" Kid replies nodding. Maka leaves out the door and the rest of them turn on Soul. "What?"
Black*Star and Crona shove Soul into a chair and stands back while Tsubaki and Liz take over, Patty is looking out the window keeping an eye on Maka with the help of Kid as she keeps getting distracted. "Alright! It's common knowledge that you like Maka." starts Liz crossing her arms across her chest. "And recent information from yourself has brought to light the thought that Maka might like you!" Continues Crona. He's become a lot more confident in himself since Medusa, his mother, was killed. Soul starts stuttering again looking at the three people that surround him. "Black*Star? Wanna give a guy some help here?" He asks. Black*Star gives him a look that says you're-on-your-own-dude-this-needs-sorting-out. Soul sighs and looks around at them all. "Well what do you want me to do?" They all simultaneously face palm and groan as if the answer was obvious. Finally Kid gives him an answer. "Ask her out dumbass!" Soul looks at Kid in shock. He must be really annoyed if he called him that. He nods and gets up to walk over to the door.
Outside Maka is studying a small flower on a bush. It was it's head was red while it's petals where white. "Kinda like Souls eyes!" She mutters to herself. She looks away from the flower and up at the window. She Soul siting in a chair. By the looks of it Tsubaki, Liz and Crona are yelling at him. She shakes her head wondering what he'd done now. She dismisses the fact and continues through the garden. Even though it's freezing and she's only in a skimpy dress she doesn't go inside. The coldness numbs the pain in her heart if only temporarily. She sees a bench and perches on the edge and rubs her arms. 'What am I going to do with myself?' She thinks. She twirls her pigtail around her finger. The sounds of foot steps makes her look up. Soul is walking towards her blushing furiously. "Soul?" She looks at him as if he's grown an extra head. "Maka! I really need to talk to you! This can't wait any longer!" Something in his voice makes her realise how important it is. She nods looking deep into his eyes...
