Author's notes:

This is something I've wanted to write for quite a while. I got the idea for this last summer, while I was extremely tired. I thought that the quite unique story of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the quite unique character, Osaka, of Azumanga Daioh would work together well. They are also two of my favorite series, even though they're so different.

The story will probably have a lot of spoilers for both Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Azumanga Daioh, and I strongly recommend watching them both before reading this. I'm almost sure that you won't understand it without watching at least Madoka first, anyway.

The first chapter isn't very important to the plot, but I think this is the best way to start this. Madoka started with a dream scene too.

Enjoy.

"Kasuga!"

…

"Kasuga-san, can you hear me?"

… "huh?"

"Your name is Kasuga, isn't it?"

"Oh, right, that's my name... Kasuga Ayumu."

Ayumu, known to her friends as "Osaka", looked around. She was standing in a completely white room, which was empty.

"Huh? Where did that voice come from?"

"You'll see soon. Just walk out of the door behind you and the continue forward."

She turned around and sure enough there was a white door. Seeing that there was no other way out, she decided to do as the voice said.

She opened the door. Behind it was a long, white hallway, and at the other end was another door, much bigger than this one. The ceiling was decorated with eerie lights.

She walked to the other end and opened the door. Now she was outside. It was almost completely dark, except for a small path illuminated with torches leading away from the building.

"Just follow the path."

Most people would have freaked out seeing the path which could have been from their worst nightmares, but being a very unique person she actually found it beautiful.

The path led her to a small park, which was lit by a single lamp in the middle. The park was completely silent; she was alone there. Well, almost.

"Welcome."

She could finally see the speaker, though it didn't seem to actually speak. In any case, it was a small white animal; it looked a bit like a cat, but it had red eyes, very long ears with some kind of rings on them and a face frozen into a cute, yet sly expression. It was sitting on a bench.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Kyubey. And you're Kasuga Ayumu, right?"

"Yea... I think so."

"Good. We need to talk. I have something important to tell you. But this is not a place for that."

"Oh. What is this place anyway? I don't remember there being any parks like this near my house."

"Your dream."

"My dream?"

"That's what I said, right? But that is not important. We'll meet in a few days. Don't worry about anything until then."

Kyubey turned around, jumped off the bench and disappeared into the darkness.

Osaka woke up to her alarm clock ringing. She yawned and then remembered her dream.

"What a weird dream! It feels like it wasn't a dream at all. I can't wait to tell others about it. And that nyaa... I mean cat was so cute."

She looked at the window to see the sunrise. For a while, she thought she saw a white cat smiling at her.

Author's notes:

I hope you liked it :) The first chapter was quite short, but the next one will be longer. I also promise that the next chapter will end with an interesting cliffhanger.

As for when it's ready, that's a good question. Hopefully soon though :)
