~STORY START~

Today was Erica's birthday, though it felt like any other day to her. 'i wonder if he remembered my birthday..' Erica thought, 'heh..probably not...as usual..' she continued and sighed while strolling through Death City towards her friend's strange home. This "friend" of hers happened to be Stein, they had a weird relationship, he often "joked" about wanting to dissect everything including her sometimes, yet it didn't seem to phase her in any way and she'd just laugh nervously, drawing attention to her from the silver-haired professor.

For some strange reason while walking to Stein's house you couldn't stop thinking about him, could it be that he sometimes scared you or made you nervous?..or that you had just had a terrible nightmare of him dissecting you?...You didnt know why exactly but it didnt really bother you much, strangely your mind started to wander if you liked him. While you were deep in thought you continued walking, and didnt notice two DWMA students who happened to be walking beside you to the professors house.

"Um..Mrs.Erica?...Mrs.Erica!" said the girl (with butterscotch colored hair in two ponytails) trying to get your attention, the student to the other side of you just chuckled, watching you reaction. "Wha?!" you practically screamed, jumping a bit while clutching at your chest,stopping to look around frantically. "O-oh... its just you two..dont scare me like that..your students of Steins right?" you asked while exchanging glances between the two. "Oh! sorry Mrs.Erica i didnt mean to i was just..yah..I'm Maka and this is Soul, if youve forgotten..you helped us a couple times at the Professors" Says the little one claiming to be 'Maka', you stare at them for a second trying to remember them.

"Ah..i remember you,goody two-shoes and the cool kid..oh and dont call me 'Mrs' its just 'Ms'." You replied correcting the blonde,while begginning to walk again. "O-oh right..." the girl says as her and her partner start following beside you again. You just nod, "So...Ms.Erica?.." Maka says quietly and you turn your gaze to her "hmm?". "Since you like being called 'Ms' im assuming you dont have a husband..so do you have a boyfriend then?.." She ask and you stared at her confused. 'isnt that a little personal?..' you thought,before replying with a quick "No.." trying to avoid the awkward stalling.

"hmm..what about Professor Stein?...you to seem pretty close.." She says, and you gasped slightly,choking on the air and breaking into a coughing fit. They students stare at you not offering to help you as you straighten yourself up and clear you throat. "*Ahem,cough cough* ..what are you talking about?..me and Stein are just friends.." You say trying to sound as serious as possible, though inside you were bubbling, but you still didnt really know why. You held your breath as they students stare at you. the blonde one staring intenssely, you held your breath as if waiting for something to happen.

"alright then" she says happily and starts walking again, "C'mon Soul, were going to be late..you dont want to be dissected right?.." Maka says and Soul smiles to you before walking following with his hands in his jacket pockets. 'Phew..that was weird..i should get going to,i'll just stop and get some coffe really quickly..' and you walked into the nearest coffee shop. While you were waiting in line you felt a light tap on your shoulder, to see your old friend from school, he had convinced you into sitting to chat for a couple minutes. He had gotten you to tell him about your birthday and he bought you a small gift card for the coffee shop with the words 'Happy Birthday' on it,you thanked him and placed it in your coat pocket.
