SoMa: Happily Ever After
Chapter One.


Night had fallen on Death City. Today was the night of Grand Ball and everyone has been invited. Tonight was night were there rich and the poor could come together. It was a beautiful night and many things will happen. But tonight we will focus one specific couple. This will be their love story.

"Maka come here, darling." Her mother called from across the room. The said girl ran across the room. "Yes, mama," The young girl asked.

"Turn for me. I want to get a good look at you before we go." Her mother said with a smile. Maka twirled around in her beautiful blue evening gown. This will be her first time going to the Grand Ball. She was so excited she couldn't wait to leave.

"Oh may you look so beautiful, in that evening gown. I'm so proud of you. I can't believe you are six…teen." He voice cracked. She could not hide her tears and pulled her daughter into a hug.

"Thank you mama," The young girl said as she hugged her mother. They stayed like this for couple of seconds and then her mother pulled away and wiped her tears away and smiled. "Maka, I have something for you." The young girl's mother walked to the dressing table and took the small box that once laid on the table in her hands. "Maka, I would love it if you wore this to the ball."

"What is it?" Maka asked. He mother opened the box and took out a beautiful masquerade mask. It was sliver and outlined with light blue, with a beautiful blue rose on the side. "Mama, it's beautiful!" Maka exclaimed. "Where did you get it?"

"This is the mask I wore to my first ball and like this year the theme was a masquerade. I also thought you would love to wore it for your first ball." She said with a smile. "I would be honored." Maka's mother took the mask out of the box and put the mask on her daughter. "How do I look?" Maka asked.

"Why don't go take a look for yourself." Her mother said. Maka walked the mirror. She liked what she saw. She couldn't believe she looked so beautiful. She turned around and gave her mother an approving smile.

"Let's hurry and get down stairs before you father's goes on a rampage."

----------------------------------------------
"Maka, be careful okay." Her mother said.

"Yes mama." She said.

"And don't talk to any boys!"  Her father scolded.

"Don't worry I don't plan on falling in love." Maka said annoyed. "If all men are like papa I don't want to fall in love," Maka thought.

"Well go have fun, okay. Remember to meet us back here by 12. Am I being clear? No later than 12." Maka's mother said.

The girl nodded and watched her parents put on their masks and disappear behind the door. Maka took a deep breath and followed after her parents. She stopped at the doorway and saw how beautiful the place looked. Everyone was laughing, smiling, and dancing. Once Maka used to dream of this moment and she imagined she would meet her prince and fall in love. But seeing her mother in pain because Maka's father would always cheat on her was so horrible that she swore that she would not fall in love. Just the thought of being hurt like that would bring her to tears.

Maka quickly escaped the scene and went out to the balcony. It was so beautiful. If only she had someone to share this beautiful scene with someone. She laid her hand on the railing and looked up at the sky. She thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad to fall in love. At least she wouldn't feel so lonely. But still she could not bear the thought of pain that she might have to go through.
Then she felt a hand go over hers. He heart started to beat faster. She couldn't bear look at who had laid there hand on hers. And before she knew it their hands were entwined. She looked at their hands and she liked how it felt, the warmth of their hands together. But she pulled away quickly.

She walked away but he followed. It was like two kids playing hide and go seek. She hid behind a curtain and he would find her. She laughed and she would run away. This time she turned around and was going to tease him, but he was not behind her. Her heart sank." How childish I was to think he would follow me. It had to end at some point," She thought.
"I got you." She heard someone whisper in her ear. She quickly turned around. And he locked his arms around her. She laughed and smiled. "You look really beautiful." He said. This was the first time a guy had actually said that to her. She looked up at him his eyes were a beautiful red and his hair was snow white but yet he looked like he was around her age.

Maka looked away and said, "Thank you."
Music filled their ears. The white haired boy took Maka's had in his and bowed. The asked, "May I, have this dance?"

Maka blushed she could not even say the words yes so she just nodded.
Maka put her free hand on his shoulder and he put his free hand on her waist. They slowly danced in the shadows. He then let go of her waist and twirled her around. Maka laughed and then he pulled her back in and she lost her balance and fell onto him. That made him lose his balance and bump into the wall and they slid down onto the floor. Maka blushed and he laughed. "Sorry." She said

"It's okay, don't worry about it." He said. Maka looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and looked into her eyes, "I think this is the most fun I've had in a long time."
Maka giggled and she stopped to look at him. Their eyes locked and the leaned close to each other and lips met. His lips were so warm and soft sending a tingling feeling down her body.

She heard it the clock ringing. Time had passed so fast and it was 12. Maka wanted to stay but she could not stay. Maka pulled away. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'm sorry…. I… I … I have to go now." She stuttered. She picked herself of the grown and began to walk away. She hopped he would stay and not follow her. Because if he did she wouldn't be able to part from him. She closed her eyes and hopped she would meet him again. He took hold of her hand and turned her around. "I know this will sound uncool but I don't want you to leave."

"Mama, papa please forgive me for what I'm going to do."
