Daven's text reads "I'll come home as soon as class is over." Daven has his hands cupping the sides of his face looking grim and worried. "Did Maka join a gang?" he thinks. A vision of Darumaka in a Team Skull outfit and striking a pose with her arms out and saying "Yo!" Daven thinks "She'd look so cute though..."

Comic page with black line art and pink tones. Daven comes home and sees Team Skull beside his house with smoke coming from whatever activity they're doing. "Oh no." he thinks as a vision of Team Skull encouraging Maka to set logs on fire enters his mind. Daven approaches the gang nervously saying "Maka?" while Team Skull start to turn around. Instead, we see Maka sitting in a bubbling bath. Team Skull made her a little hot spring using rocks and dirt to keep the water in. She's using her heat to heat the water and create steam. She's giggling as she sits in the middle!
