"Are you sure doing the report on your dad is alright, Maka? Isn't that like...? I don't know, extremely easy?" Soul said shrugging as they walked along the streets in the early morning light towards class.

"Stein-Sensai said we could do it though, so after class all we have to do is find papa and get him to talk coherently enough to tell us about him growing up." Maka said cheerfully. Suddenly they heard shoes running behind them and both turned to see Tsubaki running towards them. "Hey, Tsubaki, what's…?"

"No time, run!" Tsubaki said grabbing both of them. She began to rush and looked up Black Star who was leaping down off the roof followed by Patty and Liz.

"What's the big deal?!" Soul yelled and yanked his arm away and they all stopped.

"It's Death the kid-kun…" Liz said slowly turning to point as a figure in the shadows slowly approached. "It happened when he woke up this morning…"

"He makes us all sad." Patty said sitting down and lowering her head.

"There, there Patty, it'll be better later." Liz said and suddenly footsteps could be heard and some faint muttering. "Braces yourselves, he's like a wave of despair!"

"I was so perfect… So perfect… I even folded the toilet paper, made sure the dishes where perfectly in line with the contour of the cupboards and even had my shoes laces at the same length…" Kid could be heard groaning.

"What's wrong with him?" Maka asked quickly.

"It's his face." Black Star said slowly.

"He's been taking it harshly." Tsubaki cowered and move back next to her meister.

Suddenly they heard a thud and Death the Kid moved into sight with the exception of his face in which there was a large frying pan covering it. "I'm a useless piece of shit… I should just die…" The pan slammed against his skull again. "My perfection is gone… Even the number eight would run in fear of me." The pan his head again.

"Hey, Kid, you alright?" Soul asked stepping foreword to take the pan away from him. Soul looked at Kid's face which was contorted with perfectly symmetrical tears and streams of mucous.

"My face… it's hideous…" Kid said and pointed to his cheek. "I have one blemish…"

"It's just a zit."

"I'm unbalanced! I need a blemish in the exact same place on the other side!" Kid cried and fell to the ground screaming and cursing. As his fist kept slamming the ground repeatedly Patty looked up and began crying. "Liz! I forgot to put a sock on!"

Liz stopped and slammed he palm against her head. "I can't believe we haven't had a psychiatrist examine them yet."

"Poor Kid…" Tsubaki said slowly.

"Hey Kid! Why don't we just cut it off?" Black Star yelled excitedly.

"Idiot! You'll end up cutting his hear off." Maka said quickly giving him a Maka chop on the head with her text book. "I have an idea that's symmetrical! Tsubaki, do you have your bandages on you?"

5 minutes later…

"It's perfect! So even, same colors!" Kid said rubbing the twin bandages on each cheek. Liz put her mirror away and Death the kid straightened up. "Alright, we're now ready to go to school!"

"It's about time! Soul, Black Star, and Patty have already taken off." Maka said angrily. She turned and walked off with Tsubaki by her side.

"Really, Kid-kun, you've got to get a better handle off your OCD." Liz said.

"You say that now, but you'll be thankful I worry so much when you see how nicely the toilet paper is folded." Kid said walking foreword.
