Setting
The DWMA is in Death City. The special Academy for Meisters and Weapons in training. Death city is a city full of people who work together to keep it peaceful.
it had been a long day she had been walking around Death City since early morning. having only gotten here the night before. "aahh i want food!"moaning of course Muzai didnt know where the nearest resturant was and she was lost to top it all off.
both her eyes were closed as she stumbled about mumbling things about food and being lost. then it hit her and both her eyes snapped open to reveal two eye colors. her left a beutiful pale blue while her right was gold and seemed to glow and swirl with diffrent shades of gold.
"FOOD" whooping with joy she ran towards the delicious scent only to find a couple walking by who were startled by her outburst and walked away from her. "Dammit where the Hell is all the food!"she cried out and continued once more to stumble about in search of food.
her eyes closed once more she stumbled onto her knees then onto her face. her but in the air for a moment before sliding out onto her stomache. hearing her stomach growl loudly Muzai poked it "dont worry my sweet little tummy ill put some yummy things in you soon" and Muzai began to think about all the food she would eat and fell asleep mumbling something about milkshakes and fries while lying on in the middle of the cold cobblestoned street. dreaming of flying bacon and singing pancakes.
The boy looked up hearing some mention of milkshakes. Why did this catch his attention you ask? Because milkshakes are awesome, that's why. Unfortunately, Arthur saw neither ice cream, nor any of the other ingredients. What he did see was a girl about his age sleeping in the middle of the cobblestone street.
"I'm not getting involved." he said to himself. "She's probably fine. No, she definitely okay." There was a short pause, in which he almost managed to walk away and mind his own business. Instead he walked over, muttering under his breath as he did. "Okay fine, but I know I'm going to regret this."
Looking down a the unconscious figure figure, Arthur gently nudged her with his foot. "Excuse me, miss? Are you alright?" Getting no response he knelt down and shook her shoulder. "Miss?"
suddenly her dream changed she could feel something nudge her but had no idea what it was but she could faintly hear a voice.
the nudge then turned to a shake as someone touched her on the shoulder and her dream shattered into black. suddenly she sat up her left eye open and she lashed out at whoever touched her. "The Hell do you think you are you perverted Bastard!" her fist connected to someones face and she looked at who she punched only to find a small sickly looking boy.
"ack"her anger soon changed to worry. 'crap i dint kill him did i' nervously she switched eyes and looked through her right eye. she saw faint swirls of blue and pink;blue meaning he was a guy and pink he was sincere in his actions. "aww crap umm are you okay kid i didnt mean to punch you like that thought you were a pervert hehe"letting out a nervous laughter. as she awaited his response. Muzai felt guilty and she sat back on her heels her finger touched her chin in a nervous manner and she gave the boy a sheepish smile.
Managing to sit up, Arthur said, "I'm fine don't worry. It's my own fault. Frankly, I should have seen that coming. Oh, and I'm not a kid. Just short." Lightly he touched the bruise that was already forming, but quickly withdrew his hand at the resulting pain. "Nice punch. What were you doing sleeping in the middle of the street?" Arthur then pulled himself to his feet and offered a hand to help her up.
taking his hand she stood up swaying a bit from lack of food. she looked staright realizeing she didnt see him and looked down. "pfft haha you really are short hhaa aaw you look so cute!"giggleing she grabbed his cheeks like a grandmother would and continued giggleing but soon let go when she noticed the pained look on his face.
"oh sorry, well for one i was sleeping on the ground because im hungry" folding her arms. her stomache then let out a loud grumble and she looked down at it rubbing her tummy. "aahhaha you dont happen to know where i can get some food do you?" her stomache let put a second growl this one louder than the one before as to emphasising her question.
"Ice cream." She said.
She patted her partners head, "Let's go get ice cream, since we're done with Lord Death's quest, plus we collected enough souls for today."
He ruffled her hair in a playful way as they walked out of the bottom part of the city and close to the top. They stopped in front of the shop and began to order. Matthew looked for a while and said, "Can I get the Oreo?"
He nudged Ace telling that it was her turn.
"With extra sprinkles, and chocolate sauce. Don't forget the cherry."
The Banana split sundae was the biggest ice cream they had on the menu. She put down the menu, and folded her arms on the table.
"Hey." She addressed to Matthew. "Don't forget what day is tomorrow."
Ace stared at him with anger and she reached into her pocket. She held something in the air and slammed it down on the table. Matthew flinched a little at the loud noise that she had made. She took her hand off the object and revealed a wallet. He recognized the wallet and soon remembered, "OH! RIGHT! It's our anniversar-EGH!"
Ace had slammed her fist on his head. She sat back down and watched smoke rise from his head, she did punch him really hard. He lifted his face from the table and rubbed his head in pain, "Sorry, I feel like a jerk for not remembering."
"Idiot, I'm not surprised you forgot." She said but not looking at him. She was staring at the people that were walking around Death's Plaza.
It was all silence until their order finally came, out of kindness Ace asked Matthew "Do you want a bite? If you want you can have the cherry..you know I don't like cherries."
That was her sign for I forgive you.
While he was chewing on the fruit ha looked out upon the city and asked, "You want to do something special tomorrow? Like see a movie or anything?"
Matthew swallowed and continued speaking, "There is a movie that's out that's a horror. Or we could see one that's just comedy."
He gave her an intense stare waiting for her answer.
Matt's eyes intensed less, he was in shock that Ace didn't want to celebrate.
She grabbed her spoon and continued eating her sundae.
She looks up from her sundae and pays attention. Matthew stabs the paper cup with the end of the spoon. He then aims for the wall behind the trash can. He throws the cup at the wall and it bounces into the trash can, "I haven't done that in a while. And why do you want to collect souls tomorrow? We should take a break from all of that work!"
She changed the subject "I want to collect as many souls for you as soon as possible. Our goal is to make you a death scythe after all. Maybe we could do something after, but I wanted to do something.. I know it sounds extreme but I wanted to jump off a cliff!"
Ace sounded insane, but she was dead serious about jumping over a cliff.
Matthew looked at her with confusion and worry, thinking that she might be suicidal.
She gave herself a face palm. "I want to go to Death's overview of the city. [Picture in introduction] There's a balcony there and it doesn't seem to high up, and I don't know we achieved so much, wouldn't it be exciting to jump of a cliff? I'm sure we both will land fine. And yes I know we do crazy stuff that puts our lives on the line, but this is a crazy idea that's such a rush!"
He didnt like it, but he does scream like a girl.
Matthew had a pondering facial expression debating whether it was a better idea to die today or tomorrow.
The waiter came and picked up her sundae, "I'm so full.. so what do you say Matt?" she said with a big grin.
He looked at his partner who had her pleading face on. He couldn't resist her pleading face, it was just too cute. Sighing, he nodded his head in agreement, "Alright."
Ace got up quickly and started to head towards the balcony, but Matthew stopped her, "ON ONE CONDITION!"
Ace turned around to see her parnter right in front of her with a stern face, "We watch 2 movies tomorrow."
"Awwww...."
"Hey, then we would have the rest of the afternoon to collect souls."
"Yay!"
Then the two partners sped off towards the building.
It was a bit windy, her hair was going crazy.
"Wow it's been already seven years Matt?" And she let out a sigh. "We haven't talked to my family for seven years..we've only had each other for that long. And just a couple of years ago joined the Academy."
It was late afternoon, and under the balcony is a busy side walk, but it wasn't busy for some reason.
She turned to her soul partner and said "Promise we'll jump off this bridge when you become a Death Scythe? Cause if we do, that means neither of us died while trying to make you a death scythe."
The view was so great and there was a small pause.
"Well.. are you ready?" She reached her hand towards Matt.
They both stared down to the sidewalk and looked for a while. Matthew looked over at her again, "I promise to do my best. So, lets do our best."
Ace nodded at Matthew. Matthew put on smile but it faltered a little when he closed his eyes and waited for his partner to jump.
"On the count from 3 to Jump!"
"....3"
"....2"
"....1"
"Jump."
....They both jumped from the balcony, it was actually pretty steep. The adrenaline, the rush, the excitement raised to the fullest.
They were going pretty fast, their eyes were watering. Of course Matthew let out a loud scream.
Ace tried to cover his mouth with her other hand while they were falling down the balcony.
People that were walking from the sidewalk saw a big shadow on top of them and looked up. "Wha- what's that? Two suicidal teenagers?!"
