At first, all she could see was a bright, white light as far as the eye could see. There wasn't much she could do, including moving any part of her body. All she could do is remember her past.
She could remember the city she lived in, the school she went to, the people she barely know, the magical girls, their dark secrets they held without even knowing it, and of course, her best friend.
Madoka...
She could remember every single timeline she made, every witch, every time her friend had died, every time her friend turned into a witch, and even every time she killed her best friend so she doesn't turn into one of them until her friend decided to make a wish that changed everything.
Madoka Kaname...
She failed to stop her friend from becoming a magical girl, and now her friend can no longer have a normal life with only one person who remembers her.
Madoka, I promise to protect this new world no matter what. No matter how much it changed.
After so long, the light begins to fade away.
Homura open her eyes to the unfamiliar surroundings of someone's home, finding herself laying on top of a kitchen counter with a small pillow under one of her hands for some reason. Sitting up, she could see there was also a small living area and a room that seem to belong to a child. Homura carefully slip off the counter and started to check her surroundings.
In the back of the home, there was a platform and behind it was a door with a star that have a different colored circle on each point of the star. Yet that wasn't the thing that interested her. It was the painting above the front door.
The painting was of a woman with pink hair and a white dress. Homura knows the woman isn't Madoka when she became a god since this woman's hair was much more curly, her dress is definitely different compare to Madoka's, and she was a bit... chubby, but that didn't took away the fact that this woman was quite beautiful.
W-Where am I? Homura thought, confused.
Homura realized that she's wearing the same clothing as she wore as a magical girl, except for the metal lining around her Soul Gem was gone, and her Soul Gem felt much more attached to her skin, almost like it's apart of her now.
"What's going on?" Homura said to herself.
She felt herself going stiff by an odd sound behind her, but she quickly went back to the kitchen and hide in the sink's cabinet, trying to avoid the people who just came in.
"Must you continue to attach me to a leash? It's humiliating!"
"Well, we still don't trust you to be by yourself."
Homura heard the sound of a fridge being opened and a different female voice saying, "Also, you're still kinda bad. Not super evil bad, but still kind of bad."
"Is that suppose to be a compliment?"
Then a rather monotone, female voice said, "You do realize that the mystery gem is gone, right?"
There was a small moment of silence until the second female voice Homura heard shouted, "She escaped?! I knew we should have bubbled her! Or at least brought the gem with us!"
Bubbled? Homura thought, confused.
"But if we bubbled her, then we could have never known if she'd be good or not since it wasn't cracked." Homura heard a noticeably male and young voice say. "Maybe she's hiding somewhere."
Homura froze, hearing the opening and closing of the cabinet doors in the kitchen around her.
"Steven, I don't think she would just hide in the tem-"
Homura let out a frighten squeak when her hiding place was revealed by a young boy with curly, black hair, who shouted, "Found her!"
Homura quickly burst out of the sink's cabinet and ran for the front door.
"Catch her!" A think woman shouted as she magically pulled a spear out of her gem on her forehead.
Homura's purple eyes widen as the woman with a cube-shaped afro and the purple girl magically took out weapons of their own. The green woman hid behind the couch, probably to avoid the fight.
The woman with the afro was able to block the front door, cracking her gauntlet covered hands. Homura let out a sharp gasp, trying to run for the window in the bedroom area until she fell down onto her face. The young girl look up to see the purple girl smugly looking at her, holding onto the black whip that was wrapped around Homura's ankles.
The thin woman approach Homura, then pointed her spear at her, saying, "Who are you? And why are you here on Earth?!"
Looking at the woman, Homura didn't understand what's going on. Mostly because it's a drastic change from the previous universe Homura lived in. These woman does have some qualities as the magical girls from her universe, such as the gems where they can take out weapons. The most noticeable thing that differs between these women and the magical girls of her previous universe is the fact that the women are women, or at least the thin woman and the woman with the afro looks like women while the purple girl seems to be more like an older teen, and it was impossible for a woman to become a magical girl where Homura came from.
Madoka, did your wish change the universe so much that it allow women to become magical girls? Homura thought, confused with what happened to this universe.
"Guys! Guys! She didn't do anything wrong." The boy with the curly, black hair said, standing between Homura and the woman's spear.
"Steven, you can't defend her like this." The thin woman said, putting down her weapon. "She could be from the Home World to try to save Peridot!"
"She doesn't look like she could be from the Home World. She doesn't even look like a normal gem!" The green girl said, crossing her arms over her chest. "I mean, her skin isn't even a similar color as her gem."
Home World? Homura thought, still confuse about all of this.
"She isn't wrong." The purple girl said with a shrug, earning an embarrassed smile from the green girl.
"If she's not a gem, then what do you think she is? She have a gem on the back of her hand. There's no way she could be half human, and there's no way she could be from the Kindergarden!" The thin woman exclaimed.
"Calm down, Pearl." The woman with an afro said.
The afro woman turn towards Homura and ask, "It's best that you answer our questions if you know what's good for you."
"As long as you answer my questions as well." Homura said, trying to keep her cool.
AN: I was debating with myself if I should wait until the fourth StevenBomb is over to make this, but I felt like I couldn't wait any longer. I hope you like this story, even though this is my first time writing a story for both Steven Universe and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, so I hope I got their characters right or at least pretty similar to their characters. Please enjoy.
