Hi guys! It's been a verrrrrrry long time since I last posted any story on here, and I finally found something to spark inspiration. Here's a love story/comedy/tragedy/friendship-dealy-thing that I hope you all like too! Now, without further-ado, DISCLAIMERS: I do not own Puella Magi Madoka Magica or anything related. that all belongs to their respective owners.

CH.1 - PROLOGUE: BEFORE THE STORM THAT TOOK MY FRIEND

"Hey, Madoka!"

Sayaka ran down the sidewalk to her small, pink-haired friend and clumsily tripped to the ground.

"Oh my gosh, Saya-"

"I'm okay!" the high-spirited student said to her friend. " Madoka, I have something important to tell you." The two stopped and Sayaka took the time to catch her breath. Minutes had passed and Sayaka had not said a word.

"What is it, Sayaka?"

'DING!' 'DONG!' "Oh no, we're late for class again! Well, we're already late. What was so important Sayaka?" she looked at her friend who immediately spontaneously combusted into laughter.

"Bwaaahahaha!"

"What is it?" She was staring at Madoka, who all of a sudden started blushing and feeling self-conscious. She grabbed and started fidgeting with her hair as she always does when she's nervous. "Whaa-aaaat?"

"Madoka, you're so adorably cute!" she grabbed her friend and squeezed her tight, in a playful manner. After a second, she let go. "I just wanted to make us late again."

"That's all? You're so devious, you know that Sayaka?" the two looked at each other and started laughing. They continued to nonchalantly walk down the sidewalk to the front doors of the school. When the two eventually made it to class, it seemed as though their teacher had yet another failed relationship problem to share with her students.

"-and that's why you NEVER get a girl a bowling ball for an anniversary present. Ah, Madoka, Sayaka, glad for you to finally join us today." Both girls apologized and went to their seats.

"Sorry Miss Kazuko." Both girls said.

"Well, since you two girls make it your respective duties to be late for class EVERY day, then would you two mind sharing your answers to yesterday's assignment?" The school day continued as it always did. They got their next day's assignment and was about to be dismissed. "Oh, I almost forgot! Tomorrow we will have the honor of harboring ourselves a new transfer student. Be sure to make her feel welcome." The class began to rumble with chatter, group chats about who the new student might be or where she might have came from.

"Way to make it sound like we're holding illegal refugees." Sayaka muttered.

"Now now, quiet down. Don't forget to do your homework. Class is dismissed for today!" She ended it with a smile. The students all rushed with excitement outside to start either their club activities, sports, day jobs, whatever occupied their lives. Madoka, Sayaka, and their long-time friend Hitomi decided to walk together after dismissal.

"So, Hitomi," Sayaka started. "Who's the love letter from today? You sure do got a lot of admirers!" She exclaimed every word. Hitomi looked towards the ground, embarrased.

"Sayaka, you know they're all anonymous. How am I supposed to know?" Hitomi asked, shyly.

"Ya know Hitomi, I see why all the boys like you." She slowed down and crept up behind her friend. Without warning, she embraced her friend and started fondling her breasts. "You got these two big funbags! And you're shy as a bat in the daytime!"

"Sayaka, stop it!" Hitomi exclaimed. "You're so perverse."

"Yeah, but you love me for it!" Madoka and Sayaka laughed as Hitomi hugged her breasts.

"Well, Madoka, you sure are quiet today." Hitomi said.

"Yeah, what's up Madoka? You alright?" Both of her friends were concerned.

"Oh, it's nothing guys," she said reassuringly. "I was just day dreaming."

"'Bout what beautiful!" Sayaka asked. "Lemme guess, you were jealous I was only fondling Hitomi, weren't you?" She had a funny look on her face as she said that. Madoka blushed and quickly said, "No no, nothing like that! No jealousy here!" Her rosy cheeks faded and she looked to her friends. "I was just wondering about the new transfer student."

"Oh yeah," Hitomi said. "I believe that Miss Kazuko said it was a girl."

"A girl! Well maybe she'll be cool enough to join our small friend circle!" Sayaka exclaimed.

"Yeah, it would be nice to have a new friend." Madoka said, full-heartedly. Hitomi smiled and nodded. They continued down the sidewalk from school, and as they passed an intersection, a taxi car drove past them.

"Well girls, this is my road." Hitomi said. She bowed to her friends formally and said her goodbyes.

"Bye Hitomi! Have a good night!" Sayaka said.

"See you tomorrow, Hitomi." Madoka said, smiling with a cute little wave goodbye. The two remaining girls continued down the sidewalk, but not too long after that, Madoka made her way home. Sayaka stopped on her way home to pick up some food for her family.

"So, lettuce, tomato, potatoes, and some fresh apples." the clerk said to her.

"Yessir! Thank you very much." She had just finished paying as she saw a red haired girl run past her with a bag full of apples.

"Hey, you little punk! Get back here and pay for those!" Another clerk ran past her also, butcher knife in hand, swinging wildly.

'Huh,' she thought. 'She had red eyes...' She bagged up her groceries and headed for home, and for some reason, couldn't get that red-haired girl out of her mind. "Why did she do that?" She asked herself this, but was almost positive she already knew the answer. Poverty wasn't rare in their part of japan. "She must've been starving." She herself eventually made it home. It was dark out, and, as nobody knew, magic was at work. Silently, deviously, Sinister beings were working towards something horrible. The cold wind blew soft, that night.

Alright guys and girls, There's chapter one! Not especially long, but there's more to come. I promise. So, until next time. Peace, peeps!
