Maka was sitting on the couch, reading a book about resonating with your partners, when the front door burst open and Soul and Black*Star walked in, looking very smug about something.
She eyed them warily, not trusting their smug looks. “What did you two do this time?”
Soul grinned at her. “We got you something!”
Maka stared at them, still not trusting their smugness. “What is it?”
“I’LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS! IT’S GREAT BECAUSE, I, YOUR GREAT AND MIGHTY GO-“Soul elbowed Black*Star. “And Soul… GOT IT FOR YOU!” Black*Star finished. Soul held out the package.
Maka took it and opened it cautiously. Inside laid a new Kindle. “So you don’t have to lug around all those heavy books all the time.” Soul said pointedly, looking at Black*Star who nodded enthusiastically at him.
“Wow, guys, I don’t know what to say!” Maka beamed at them. “I’ve wanted one for a while, now.”
Soul grinned at her and said “How about ‘Thank-you’?” He refrained from adding “Tinytits”.
Maka smiled at him. “Thanks!” She suddenly frowned. “What’s the catch?”
Black*Star and Soul exchanged worried glances. “Uh, t-there’s no catch!” Soul stammered.
“RIGHT! YOUR GOD HAS NO NEED FOR CATCHES! HE IS TOO GREAT AND MIGHTY FOR SUCH SMALL THINGS AS ‘CATCHES’! I WONT SURPASS GOD BY A ‘CATCH’”
Maka looked dubiously at the two of them, “Ri-ight.” she said.
“So anyway, we had to come and give that to you. Uh, hey Black*Star! Wanna go play some basketball?” Soul awkwardly guided Black*Star out of the house. “Whew. Glad that’s over. Do you think she knows why we gave her a Kindle?”
Black*Star rubbed a large bump on his head, having been placed there by Maka’s book. “I don’t know, but my head sure remembers!”
Soul sighed, “Let’s hope that we get a few less concussions for now on.”
