"what is the one wish you would trade your soul for?"

"MADOKA NO! Don't let it trick you!"

"I wish..."

It hurts. Is this what sayaka felt when she turned? I can only feel pain.

"bwa!"

I woke up with a start in my bed.

"Oh God! That hurt!"

I remembered everything. Magical girls, the witches they fought, Homura, my wish. My wish! I checked my body for a soul gem but failed to find one. I guess it doesn't work like that. Probably for the best as I don't want to be a magical girl, especially after feeling what it's like to turn.

I go downstairs and do my morning routine.

I got to school and made sure I was on time. Hitomi and Sayaka were waiting for me. My body froze, I was shaking. Sayaka spoke to me for the first time since that fateful moment.

"Hey Madoka! What's up? Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost!"

I walk up to Sayaka and pull her in for a hug. Tears roll down my face.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, oh God I wish I could tell you but you would never believe me! I guess this is how Homura feels."

She holds me out, obviously worried but smiling to try and chear me up.

"Calm down Madoka I'm fine so there is nothing to apologize for! Who is this Homura person anyways?"

My eyes widen, I've said too much haven't I.

"Well... Um... I'll tell you at lunch! Bye!"

I take off running to school. Hitomi and Sayaka follow me and call for me to slow down.

Class was starting and our teacher was being as crazy as ever. Does anyone even listen to her lectures on egg cooking? Anyways she also announced the arrival of a new student. Homura akemi of course.

"She's been in the hospital with a heart condition. Please make her feel welcome!"

I didn't really do to much at first. There wasn't any opportunity to jump in without looking weird. I waited until she had me take her to the nurse.

At first we walked in silence. I don't have any of the questions I had last time. I simply waited until we were alone. When we got between the 2 sections of campus she suddenly turned around.

"Makoka. Do you treasure the-"

I cut her off.

"Homura. How meny times have you given me that speach?"

Her jaw dropped. No way she ever would have expected that response.

"Homura. You told me there was I time loop I was forgetting about. What did you think I was going to wish for? I just wanted to never forget you and what happened"

"I wish to never forget what happenes. No matter how much time repeats itself!"
