Black*Star POV:

"Tsubaki!" Black*Star was running away from Soul with a huge grin on his face. He went straight towards his weapon, who looked like she was containing her laughter. To anyone else she'd just look normal, but Black*Star knew her too well.

Maka looked quite surprised at the speed at which he was racing, but even more so when he picked up her best friend on the way, whizzing around the next corner, carrying her like a potato sack. Not that she should be surprised- after all, what kind of God can't run fast?

He put Tsubaki down outside the bathrooms a couple halls away. Tsubaki brushed herself off.

"B-Black*Star, that was quite uncalled for. What were you doing-"

"I have a secret."

Tsubaki looked at her meister closely. "Then you'd better not tell me, Black*Star, or it won't be a secret, you know."

He inched closer so that he was just 6 inches from her face. "If you tell me your secret I'll tell you mine." He said, deciding this was a good a plan as any.

Tsubaki's eyes widened slightly. "Wh-what secret?"

"Oh, c'mon, Tsubaki! I'm not stupid. What were you talking with Maka about?"

"Black*Star, I don't think that's something I can just tell-"

Black*Star backed off a little bit. "Fine, I'll go first!"

"But, Black*Star, you shouldn't-"

"Hey guess what? Soul likes Maka!"

Tsubaki POV:

"Your turn now!"

Tsubaki paused. Firstly, she wasn't sure if she should tell Black*Star Maka's secret. Then again, if Soul liked her back, who's to say she couldn't help her friend?

"C'mon, I'm waiting!"

"What if I were to tell you that Maka likes him back?"

Black*Star smiled widely and, almost fiendishly. Tsubaki now felt a little regret for having said anything- maybe she just should've kept her mouth shut…

"How about we get them together, then?" Black*Star smirked.

"Black*Star, we shouldn't meddle-"

"Oh, c'mon! Stein will have joined an animal protection club by the time those two realize they like each other! We could, maybe, just speed the process along a little, you know?"

Tsubaki still wasn't so sure.

"Don't worry Tsubaki, I already have a plan!" and now she was worried.

But as he explained his plan, suddenly, Tsubaki didn't really feel that apprehensive anymore. In fact, it seemed like a pretty good idea…
