When Maka and Taylor arrived Soul and Wes were fast asleep. Soul lay in the bed snoring up a storm while Wes was almost falling out of his chair. Their expressions were identical one only being a little bigger than the other. Taylor walked over to Wes and hit his arm. "Wake up you idiot! It's the middle of the day!"

Wes woke and fell to the ground from being startled. He rubbed his head and stood. Looking a lot more like Soul because of the messy hair he asked, "How'd you get her back here? I didn't actually think you could do it."

Taylor glared at him, "I'm a master of persuasion!" He muttered under his breath something about not inviting her next time. She yelled in return and woke Soul.

He mumbled a bit and then sat up, "Maka?" He looked drossy. From the look of his eyes he was still not in the same time zone as 100%.

She walked over to him, "I'm sorry." Sitting down in the chair closest to him Maka held his hand. "I was in the wrong. I'm not saying you weren't as well but you're not in the best shape right now so I'm temporarily forgiving you."

Soul smirked, "I swear I'll tell you everything."

Taylor sat by his feet, "Already taken care of."

"Are you serious?" Wes was still acting a little tired. "And you aren't worried about Alexa?"

Maka perked up, "Who's Alexa?

Soul's hand felt cold, "She's my old stalker. Imagine Blair on stair odes. She tried to cut off all of Taylor's fingers and toes so she couldn't touch me." A shiver went up Soul's spine.

Maka looked over to see Taylor in tears. It took all she had not to laugh. "She's so scary! Soul, you forgot to mention she killed my fish! Poor innocent Bubbles! He was so young and she let him die in a toilet filled with cleaner! She locked me in the closet for eight hours after that!"

Wes deadpanned, "We didn't tell her we were coming to see you. It got worse without you around Soul. Alexa would always ask, 'Where's my white rabbit?' Unfortunately I see her a lot because of my mother. She likes the freak. She says she's a good influence because of her charity work or whatever. I've tried a million and two times to tell her but I always get the same thing . . "

Soul and Wes both mimicked their mother in a girly fancy voice, "Alexa is an angle. You could learn a thing or two from her, dear. I should call her and invite her for a weekend at the cabin."

It impressed the blonde that they were so good at the impression. Maka stood up with confidence in her eyes, "I'm not scared of some stalker! I deal with Blair everyday! And she stuffs her boobs in your face to wake you!"

Taylor seemed to get mad, "What?" Her eye seemed to twitch when she commented, "I can't wait to meet her."

Wes looked at Soul with a serious expression, "What's your secret?"

Maka chopped him. "Maka Chop!" It felt strange when he looked up to her like he had no idea why she had hit him. Soul laughed. It was a genuine laugh. He did so for over a minute and just as Maka thought he would stop he got louder. He only finished when Black*Star and Tsubaki came through the door.

Black*Star glared at Wes then to Taylor they both just acted like nothing had happen. Tsubaki walked in and greeted Maka and Soul. Black*Star approached Soul on opposite side of the bed as Maka. "Do you want me to chase these guys out?"

Soul laughed and shook his head, "No but thanks anyways. They're cool."

He pierced Taylor with a stare, "You just give me the word, okay?" She glared back and after a few seconds she flipped him the bird.

"Okay." Soul smirked. "You people do know you don't need to be here. I'll get out in a couple days. I'm cool with no company."

Maka held on to his hand. "Don't be stupid."

Taylor laughed, "Wes and me have nothing else to do, yet." Her smile made both Maka and Soul worry a little.

Tsubaki asked in her polite voice, "Yet? What are you planning on doing?"

Wes covered his face with his hand. "I won't be here for much longer. A couple of hours ago mom called. She said if I didn't get back to the concert tour she'd come here herself."

Black*Star exploded with laughter, "HAHAHAHAHA! You still take orders from your mother! You're a mommy's boy unlike the great I who answers to no one!"

Soul spoke to the sad looking Wes, "It was awesome to see you after so long even if you threw my whole life on its side. It was cool to see you." They exchanged knowing looks and Wes stood from his seat.

"I'll be back Soul as soon as the tour is over. This isn't like our last good bye, expect to see me soon. I'll be barring surprises!" After brushing his clothes off of imaginary dust he left.

Black*Star turned to Taylor, "Aren't you going to follow him?"

"No, I'm an artist. I can work anywhere." She sat at the end of Soul's bed. "And if I left that would interfere with my schooling."

"You didn't?" Soul looked horrified. "Taylor, tell me you're joking."

"I'd be lying. Before I went to go pick up Maka I filled out an enrollment form for DWMA." She twiddled her thumbs knowing how upset Soul was. "I want to find out what all the fuss is about. It's just a plus that I can easily keep an eye on you."

Maka had only taken one thing out of what she had revealed to them all. She was enrolling. She needed a new weapon. She was moving on from Soul. This was progress in her mind. If she was lucky enough she'd fall for him too and then all of her problems would be solved.

Maka smiling commented, "There are always tons of new students. You'll probably get a new weapon in less than a couple weeks."

She looked stunned, "I already have a weapon, Soul."

"What?" Soul yelled. "No I'm Maka's Partner Taylor! I'm sorry but that's just how it is."

Maka stood, "You aren't taking Soul from me!"

Taylor stood as well. She had an inch or two on Maka. "For now we're sharing him. And that's not your choice." The two girls stared at Soul waiting for a reaction.

Black*Star murmured, "Girls have the weirdest tastes I swear."

Soul in a very stern voice looked Taylor in the eye an corrected her, "You're not going to be my partner. I'm sorry Taylor but that was in the past. Maka is my partner now."

Maka felt triumphant till Taylor spoke in an even tone, "The summer when I let you hide at my family's cabin for like months, I lied to people's faces thousands of times over and over again. Including, Wes, your mother, my parents, countless fake worried fat cats and you can't even do me this one little favor."

Soul wavered and Maka's jaw slipped a little from its closed position. He defended, "But Taylor-"

"Soul, are you serious? How many times have I bailed you out? How many times have I rushed half way around the world for you? How many tattoos do I have because of you? Do you need to see the one on my ass? Is that what it's going to take?"

She turned to show him a better view. Black*Star perked up as she shimmied her pants down to show the top of a medium sized heart. Soul stopped her obviously not wanting anybody to see the full view, "Okay! I'll be your partner part time! You win!" Maka was pissed, shocked and preparing herself mentally for the coming storm.
