So Maka and Soul are to be together. They were basically on the brink of confessing to each other. They had been there for each other through thick and thin, never giving up on each other. No matter what the price is. But Soul being a boy, not knowing what his feelings were for Maka, thinking that he could never love the bookworm, how wrong he was. They could defeat anything as weapon and meister but couldn't he couldn't deal with his feelings.

One day they were knitted together. It was almost inevitable that they would end up together. They were the perfect duo, best partners and friends. But one day can change everything.

Maka knew 100% that she was in love with Soul; she was going to tell him in the most romantic way possible. After all they were grownups. 18 years old. Time had really flown by; just yesterday they had started their partnership and friendship. When Soul played the beautiful and haunting piece and said "That's the kind of man I am". Well they had been best friends as well, but she wanted Soul to know her feelings, she had an inkling that maybe, MAYBE Soul had the same feelings. She was walking to the park to meet her other friends in the park. Soul called the gang, he had something special to announce to them. Maka couldn't help but wonder, she had a good feeling about this announcement.

The gang had gathered round a spot in the part, Kid, patty, Liz, Chrona, Black*Star and Tsubaki. Maka had greeted everyone and sat down, waiting for Soul. Soul came, but was not alone. He came with a very cute girl, she had a cute bob and a side fringe and a slender yet busty frame and wore shorts a ruffled shirt and a suit jacket, with sandals. He had his arm around her, and laughing and joking with her. Then they all finally realised when he kissed her cheek in a very romantic way. Maka's heart was cracking, slowly…. The pain was becoming too much, tears were threatening to take over her eyes, but blinked them back, revelling in the fact that she was right. Men were horrible; they were mean and nasty and liked to play around. He was exactly like her father, except the pain was ten times worse, because the man she loved was with another.

The others were all thinking and feeling the same thing. Sadness and pity for Maka, and regret and annoyance at Soul. How could he be such an ass? Even Black*star knew Maka and Soul were for each other, but Soul was being ignorant to his true feelings. They all gave fake-passable happy smiles and welcomed the new girl.

Soul was glad that the gang was so friendly. But maybe a little too friendly? It seemed fake, but Soul pushed away the idea, and thought he was reading way too much, much like his book worm of a partner. Damnit! He was thinking about Maka again! Seriously what was wrong with him? He has a girlfriend for goodness sake's!

"Thanks for meeting here, as you may have already know, I have a new girlfriend, she's called Amber." And he pulled Amber towards him and kissed her nose very sweetly.

Maka felt as she was falling, falling endlessly, hoping it would take her far away, away from the pain. Her heart couldn't take anymore. Her heart had shattered. At the very words "New girlfriend". The others were knew that Maka, was breaking down, feeling numb, they wanted to comfort her, and tell her "it's alright" But in front of Soul and his new girlfriend and not to hurt Maka's pride, they gave fake gushes of "congratulations" . But they couldn't feel angrier at Soul for hurting their friend and being such an idiot.

To show everyone that Maka was fine and feeling strong, she hugged Amber tightly and shook Soul's hand and congratulated both of them, with a fake wide smile and near high-pitched voice. The others were marvelled at Maka's strength and followed her lead.

"Well you've met everyone! Ah, if you wanna catch that movie, we're going to have to get going." Soul said to Amber.

"Ahh, really? I wanted to stay and talk some more… *pouts* Well it's nice to meet you all! Hope to see you soon" Amber waves and walks with Soul, arm-in-arm. Until they walk out of sight. They round on Maka. Maka was looking down at the grass shuffling her left foot, her pigtails drooping down and tears falling on the yellowed grass. The girls patted her back and waited till her tears stopped and she was able to look up, without crying. Kid and Black*Star waited there patiently and awkwardly, they didn't know how to handle a crying Maka, one of the strongest and smartest girl they had known. They didn't know how to handle girls, full stop.

"Soul's an idiot; I really don't know why he got a girlfriend. Seriously he's worse than me, he must be pretty dense." Kid stated simply, handing a tissue to Maka.

"Yeah, and he always talks about y-"Black*Star was about to finish, when Maka put her finger on his lips to silence him.

"P-l-ease don't. I don't want to hear the past…" Maka asked. Black*Star was taken aback; he was more annoyed at Soul, for reducing his own best friend to tears. She stopped and was just hiccupping. The girls decided to take her home, whilst the guys went home too. The girls a sleepover, and they were all comforting her. It was nice to be taken care of. To be showered with care and affection. Maka was feeling very slowly on her path to recovery.

THE NEXT DAY.

Soul had come back from his date very late. He came back mid-day; by that time the sleepover was finished. He came back to a clean apartment, food on the table and a silence. He chucked his coat in his room and went to the plate of food. It had a note:

Here, I thought you would be hungry. Hope date was fun. I will be with the girls. Don't call or worry. You should get some sleep; you are probably tired from a fun night. Have a nice nap.

Maka Xxx

He ate the food, it was delicious, and how Maka cared for him was sweet and nice. The way she knew him back to front was sweet as well. After his delicious meal he thought back to the nap and went to his room and fell on his bed and slept.

Maka, on the other hand was very busy. She was going all over town, with a full notebook, full of plans.
