'Thoughts'

(Harry and Ali's Apartment)

A teenage boy was in the kitchen of his apartment cooking breakfast. His hair was midnight black. His hair was short and unruly. He had brushed it after he had gotten dressed but it didn't look it. He was average height for a sixteen year old. He was tan and had emerald green eyes.

Once he finished the food he had set the table. Soon a girl his age walked into the room. She had long brown hair that reached her back. As usual it was in a braid. She too was tan. Unlike the boy's, who became tan from days spent in the sun, she was born with tan skin. It was a few shades darker. Her eyes were a dark chocolate brown. She was a head shorter than the boy. She hugged the boy.

"Good morning Ali." He greeted.

"Morning Hare Bare. Breakfast ready?" She asked.

"Yeah." He pointed at the table.

"Good. I'm starving." Ali said.

Harry laughed. "Good thing I made plenty."

"Yes it is." She said with a grin.

"Are you ready for our mission?" He asked.

Harry and Ali went to DWMA. It stood for Death Weapon Meister Academy. Harry was a weapon and Ali was his meister.

"Yeah. I just wish Blackstar wasn't going to be there." She said.

The dark haired male grimaced. "Me too. With any luck we won't get paired with him and he doesn't end up on the same island or boat as us."

"One can only hope." The meister said. "Are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah." He told her.

Before the mission started he would see his parents for their monthly visit. Harry was a squib. Once his parents learned they had been distant. He had turned into a triple bladed scythe one day and that was when they left him at the academy. Once a month he was forced to see them. He didn't understand why since he didn't want to see them and they didn't want to see him.

Everytime they left him feeling unwanted. All they talked about was Rose. She was his little sister. She was born a year after he was left at the academy when he was eleven.

Luckily he had Ali and her family. They loved him and that was all he needed. He finished breakfast and left to go see his parents.

This time they met up at a cafe. It was owned by Ali's parents. As usual they didn't bring his little sister with them. He knew about her since they bragged. She was only four and apparently a magical genius. He doubted she knew about him. Harry knew that they were ashamed of him and knew that they didn't want their perfect daughter to meet him let alone know about him. It had been a few years since that stopped hurting him.

"Hello Harry." Lily, his mother, greeted.

"Mother." He wasn't surprised she kept her distance.

"Harry." James, his father, sounded bored.

"Father."

The three sat down. They ordered drinks. It was as usual awkward and uncomfortable. His mother broke the silence.

"How is school?" She asked.

"Good." Harry didn't bother saying more since he knew they didn't care.

"Good." Her smile was forced.

"Yeah."

After that she talked about Rose. Harry barely listened as he counted down the time until it was over. He was thankful that the time he spent with them during these visits slowly decreased the older he got. He nearly breathed out a sigh of relief when they stood.

"Oh look at the time." His mother said. "We must be going. Goodbye."

"Bye."

His parents finally left. Karen, Ali's mom went over and hugged him.

"How are you, dear?" She asked him.

"Better now that it's over." Harry admitted.

"I bet." She glared in their direction. "Here is a couple of brownies."

Harry smiled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome dear. Good luck on your mission." She said.

"Thanks Karen." He said. 'I'm glad I have you guys.' He thought.

"You're welcome Harry."

The weapon left the cafe and went to the academy. Ali was at the front doors waiting for him. He gave her the other brownie.

"Thank you." He said.

"Yup." He bit into the mission.

"So we are paired up with Maka and Soul. We are going to the first island, um Funtime Island." She told him.

Harry breathed out a sigh of relief. "Oh thank goodness."

"I know. I like Black Star, I do but I can't handle being on a mission with him." Ali said.

The last time they were partnered with him they failed the mission. He had alerted the enemy to their presence and they fled. Harry had to restrain Ali from killing the blue haired boy.

After they finished their brownie the two entered the academy. They entered the classroom and went to their seats. Harry waved at the professor as they passed him. They sat down next to Maka and Soul. Maka smiled at them while Soul ignored them. He was busy looking at his manga.

"Good morning Harry, Ali." Maka greeted.

Maka was his best friend after Ali. She had been there when he had been dropped off. While Ali and Harry bonded over sports Maka and him bonded over books. Him and Soul didn't really hang out.

"Morning Maka." They greeted her.

"You good Harry?" She knew that he had met with his parents.

"Yup. I'm ready for the mission." He told her.

"Me too." Ali chimed in.

"So am I. To think many people have been lured to different island and cruises only to get their souls eaten." She said.

"It's clever." Harry said. "It had worked for years until they got too greedy."

"Yeah." Maka nodded her head.

"I'm just glad we get the island and not a boat." He said.

"Why?" Maka asked.

"Sea sickness." The dark haired male said.

"Ah."

"Yeah. It just gets worse when Ali swings me around." He said. 'Just thinking about it makes me sick.'

"Aren't there pills for that?" She asked.

"There are but none of them work for Harry. He still gets sick." Ali said.

"That's horrible." Maka said. 'Poor Harry.'

"Yup. Luckily it's only sea sickness. I'd be screwed if it was motion sickness." He said.

"True."

"Good morning class." Professor Stein said.

"Morning." Some of the class said.

"As you know you are all going on a mission. You will be in groups which you should already know who they are. Some will be taking the cruise ships and others will be going to the islands. You will get an experienced weapon meister duo to help you out." He told them. "First up is Maka, Soul, Ali, and Harry. Your helicopter is waiting to take you to Funtime Island. Your help is already there."

The four stood up and left the room. Harry and Soul shifted to make less weight, more room, and to be already prepared. They were then strapped to their meister's back. The helicopter took off the minute they were buckled.

"As soon as I give the signal you both will jump. The lights flickering twice is that signal." Allen, their pilot, yelled.

"Yes sir." The girls yelled back.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the islands. The helicopter went towards the first. The lights flickered twice once they were over the island.

The two unbuckled and jumped. They used their parachutes and landed safely on the ground. Marshall and Timothy were meister and weapon duo waiting for them. They had seen them land and went over to them.

"You all ready?" Marshall asked.

"Yes." The four academy students said.

"Let's go."
