Unexpected Visitors

Chapter 8

Soul waited as patiently as he could because he was just that kind of guy. Maka was getting ready for them to go out and eat, it was taking a little longer then he would like, but being the cool man he was he waited, and waited as best he could. Finally when the girl in pigtails came out, he almost let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, stop dragging your feet and lets go already." Maka said, her hands on her hips as if she was the one waiting for half an hour.

"This is so not cool, great idea, going out with this chick." He muttered a bit upset.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Come on we need to get going." He replied lazily making his way out the door, Maka following close behind.

This should be good. He thought heading down the street.

Maka glanced at her weapon watching his expression carefully. Not that she was reluctant to go, no not at all she was fairly excited. It was just something about it seemed exhausting. Shifting slightly she decided to start a conversation.

"So.." She started hesitantly, which irked her slightly as she was rarely hesitant.

"So..?"

"Where are going anyways?" She asked.

Soul paused for a minute before answering her.

"It's some new cafe that opened up. Black Cat or somethin'. I heard about it from Kid, figured it be kinda cool to check out. It's more on the side of a restaurant too though."

"Yeah, that actually does sound really nice. I think I've heard about it too." Maka said thoughtfully. "I'm surprised you'd choose such a good place, but it figures that you got the idea from kid." She mused, teasing him a bit.

He frowned. "Yeah, I should have brought a cute girl instead of a flat chested book nerd." He replied coolly.

Without a second thought she slammed down the heal of her shoe on his foot with a crushing blow.

"ARGH MAKA!" He yelled at her.

"That's what you get." She huffed walking ahead of him.

A long period of silence passed before she spoke again.

"Look there." She pointed getting Soul's attention. "Some ice cream place, go buy us some."

"Well...alright." He answered rubbing the back of his neck.

As he trotted off she gave out a sigh. This seemed to be more trouble then it was worth. I mean, I guess this is sort of a date right? It's unusual for him to ask her to go out and he was wearing his casual suit. She mulled the thought over before murmuring to herself. "Well whatever it is, it's not going very well."

Soul glided over to a rickety van looking thing that had an old sign saying 'Gino's Special Cream' It didn't sound appetizing to him. He approached the small window and peered inside, but jumped back as a man's face popped out.

"HELLO BELLO! YOU HAVE COME AS EXPECTED, NO?" He practically hollered in his face.

Soul looked at him with disgust his ears ringing slightly.

"NOT MUCH OF A TALKER I SEE." He continued with a loud laugh. "WELL WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU?"

"Can I get a two small regular Vanilla cones."

"OH, NO,NO,NO,NO,NO." The man shook his head. "YOU ARE ON A DATE NO? YOU MUST PICK 'YER WOMAN OF 'ER FEET! GIVE HER SOMETHING SPECIAL!"

"It's just ice cream." Soul told him.

"NO,NO,NO,NO,NO. NO MATTER WHAT IT IS YOU MUST GIVE IT YOUR ALL FOR HER, SHOW 'ER JUST HOW SPECIAL SHE IS." He replied giving soul a poke in the chest. "HERE, THIS IS WHAT I DO FOR YOU. I ORDER SPECIAL, FREE, AND GIVE YOU ONE VANILLA AS ASKED."

"Uh bu-" Soul began, but the guy had disappeared already. He came back a few minutes later with a shining ice cream and Soul's normal one.

"DER YOU ARE SIR."

"Um thanks." He muttered throwing change on the counter for his cone. Before any further conversation could ensue he snatched the desserts and briskly walked away.

"AND REMEMBER SWEEP 'ER OFF HAR FEET!" The stranger yelled after him. He got back to Maka handing her the frozen treat quickly.

"What took so long?" She asked.

Shaking his head he answered. "Don't ask, I don't even know." With a confused look she took the answer and they began walking again. Soul hoped that the night could not get any worse. But he didn't have the best luck, so not cool.

Ok, I don't know why but I found that I am soooo not good at portraying Maka, it's really disappointing :(
