A/N Helloooo! Its Gabi here, starting this story that was requested by my TOTALLY AWESOME friend SpoonMeister13x8. (You are amazing, enough said.)

Hope you guys will like it! And please, REVIEW! Let me know what you think!

Here is some info on this story… its set in a made-up colonial-like time period. This story is based off of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, (thank you Shakespeare for being such an amazing writer), but don't worry, I'm adding my own drama and extra stuff too it…. And no one will die… yet. :P

Anyway….On to the story! :D

-CHAPTER ONE-

-A MEETING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT-

-Third Person Point of view-

The sound of clanks and shouts that once echoed through the streets of Death City stop. Of course this used to be a natural occurrence; the followers of the two highest families in Death City were rarely ever seen not fighting with each other.

But now, Lord Death has decided, if there were any more fights concerning the personal feud between the two families, the persons involved could be punishable with death.

It was tragic actually, that the two families hated the each other. For, soon the Evan's and the Albarn's would realize their feud to be meaningless to the two who were about to change everything the families were used to.

Maka Albarn was seventeen years old and was the daughter of Spirit and Kami Albarn. Maka hated her parents and everything they stood for. She was one to support peace and justice while her parents did not care if their petty feud with the Evans family almost caused a civil war within the city. Maka tended to cause trouble, just to annoy her neglective parents.

Soul Eater Evans was eighteen years old and was the son of Rosalyn and Joseph Evans. Soul also happened to dislike his parent's feud with the Albarn family. He was an amazing pianist, yet he didn't truly like all of the attention that came with being such a great musician.

The two have never met and then, as if fate had changed its mind, a meeting to be concerned about occurred.

He had been walking home from one of his classes at Death City University, and suddenly ran into someone unfamiliar, yet very familiar at the same time.

He had turned a corner of one street and she had turned the corner of another, and they literally ran into each other. Maka and Soul fell onto the ground in a heap from the sudden impact, Maka dropping her newly-bought paper and Soul dropping his folder of music, the sheets scattering across the dirt road.

They both recovered quickly and Soul, out of gentleman's courtesy, picked up some of Maka's papers and she picked up some of his papers. The both stood and faced each other.

Maka turned a bit red because of her clumsiness.

"I'm—"

"I'm—"

They both start to say sorry at the same time, cutting each other off, each slightly blushing.

"I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to knock down your papers like that." Maka says quietly.

"It's alright, no harm done, right?" Soul smiles showing off his white pointy teeth.

She looks up into his red eyes, smiling slightly. "Yes. No harm done."

They both say goodbye and walk in their separate directions, never thinking that they would ever see each other again.

Let alone fall in love.

-Maka's POV-

I walk home humming to myself a song I heard a while back, skipping along the dirt path leading to the big double doors of my family's mansion. I am eager to get into my room, lock the door, and write the afternoon away. But before I could even step inside the house someone behind me calls my name, and I stop dead in my tracks for a second and then sprint like hell to somewhere. Anywhere, as long as he is not there…

"Miss Albarn! Miss Albarn! Maka! Hello? Can you hear me? It's Ox!" I hear his footsteps getting closer and I speed up, but it is a futile attempt, because I feel a hand on my shoulder and I know I have lost this race, and so I turn around with a fake smile on my face.

"Hello, Ox. It's so nice to see you."

"Why it is isn't it?" He says buttoning one of the loose buttons on his coat.

I lightly brush off my dress, it had gotten a little wrinkled and dirty when I fell before, and when I just ran. "Ox, may I ask why you are here today?"

"I just wanted to see a beautiful girl, and talk with her."

"Ugh…Ox, go away, I don't want you here!" I say, storming off towards the door, rolling my eyes.

God, will he ever just leave me alone?

"But I brought you flowers as well!" He says running up next to me, once again. He holds them out in front of me and I take them out of courtesy, a lady should never refuse a gift, even if it is from someone you despise.

"Thank you, Ox. That was very nice of you." I finally reach the door to my home and gently smile at my stalker.

"Now, I really must be going. Bye Ox!" I open up the door, slip inside, slam in in his face, and lock it before he decides to come in and stay for a while.

I run through the many familiar corridors of the mansion and head towards my room, encountering some of my maids on the way.

"Hello Patricia, Elizabeth. How are you today?" I stop and ask them nicely. They were fixing some of the curtains in one of the hallways.

"Good, thank you." Liz says.

"Hello Maka!" Liz's younger sister says, hoping off of the ladder she was on, and spinning around in a circle.

As energetic as ever, I think.

"Maka… would you mind if I asked you a question?" Liz says coming closer to me.

"No, not at all. You two are some of my closest friends."

They really were, Liz and Patty, my new nick-names for them, were my two closest friends next to my nurse Tsubaki. They were all around my age, Liz was 18, same as Tsubaki, and Patty was 17 like me. They worked around the house, but they were more like sisters than maids. They really only worked for the money to spend on other things, my parents welcomed them into our family years ago, and so were always eating with us and even had their own rooms in the house.

"Well… was that Prince Ox who was talking to you before, and did he give you those flowers?" A smile slowly places itself on her lips. While my smile fades.

"Yes. It was Ox." They both squeal happily.

"Oooooooooh Maka! Prince Ox likes you!" Patty claps her hands skipping in a circle.

"But I don't like him!" I say, my cheeks getting pink in anger.

"You may not like him, but your parents do." I hear someone say from behind me.

I turn to see Tsubaki walking towards us with a smile on her face.

"I know they do Tsubaki. And that only makes him more determined to make me fall in love with him. Though, I know that will never happen."

"I wouldn't be too sure." Liz says. "You never know what could happen. I mean, something could happen in an instant and he could sweep you off your feet."

"Ughh… don't even say that." I groan at them, causing the three to laugh.

"Maka, how about I make some tea, and we can go in your room and hang out for a while?" Tsubaki suggests.

"Wait!" Patty screams, causing us to flinch at the sudden outburst. "We should go to the dress store! Maka needs a dress for the ball!"

"Oh yes, she does, doesn't she?" Tsubaki says, the thought dawning on her.

"Yes! I love dress shopping! Oh, and we can make Maka look so pretty!" Liz exclaims.

"Great…." I say rolling my eyes dramatically. "But if I get a dress you all are getting ones too, because you are all coming to the ball with me. I'm going to need backup if Ox tries to do anything… weird or crazy… or both."

"Then it's settled. We are going dress shopping!" Tsubaki says before the three of them drag me out of the house and down to the dress shop.

Oddly enough, as my friends babble on about other things when we walk, my mind drifts towards the thought of the boy I ran into today.

I wonder if he'll be at the ball.

So how'd you guys like it? Please review!
