Welcome to my first story of this series! (^^)

It is a story of Madoka and Sena seeing each other for the first time. As it is not mentioned in the anime, I roughly make up how old they are when it happened. In the story, Madoka is about five or six, when Sena is ten years old or something similar, I guess. And the whole story will be written in Madoka's POV. As she is small, the wordings used are all easy and straight forward.

Enjoy and remember R&R! So here we go! :-)


Today is Saturday. I go to my grandma's workhouse as usual. I like the workhouse because I can see many beautiful dress there! They are all designed by my grandma. I can't wait to see them again! I dash to the working room and open the door.

...

I see a stranger boy starring at me, with a pen on his hand and lots of papers on the table.

...

I close the door.

Who's that? Grandma is here designing lovely clothes every Saturday... but today it is a boy! It is very unusual.

Grandma, where are you?

I am too shy to say anything to the boy, so I quietly wait outside the room, for grandma to come.

Waiting for about ten minutes, grandma is still not coming. I start to lose my patience. Although I have never talked to any boys, but this time I must gather all my courage, because I must stop him if he is a thief coming here to steal grandma's designing idea!

I again open the door gently. And I open my mouth, "who... who are you...?"

"Don't you know that it is impolite to ask anyone's name without saying who you are?"

...

I close the door.

It is so frightening! I am extremely afraid. The boy is impolite. Luckily, I see grandma walking to me from far. I immediately threw myself into her arms.

"Grandma, you finally come! There is a boy inside! I am afraid!" I cry inside her embrace.

"Oh! My sweetheart," she giggles, "sorry for not telling you earlier. It's time for you two to know each other. Come, let's get inside!"

She hold my hand again and open the door. I am not that afraid as grandma is here now.

The boy is still there, but this time he gives grandma a bow respectfully.

"Sena-san, so hardworking are you! This is Madoka-chan, my granddaughter." She introduces me to him.

The boy slightly nods his head, "Sena Tsubasa here."

"Sena-san have just come here to learn designing!" Grandma adds, "From now on, he will always be here!"

I slightly nod my head too, but still feeling nervous, because it means I will always see him being here. Can I get along with this boy?

"Surely you two can get along very well!" Grandma's words answers the question in my heart.


The next Saturday.

I again come to my grandma's workhouse, but I don't know if it will happen again that there is only the boy alone.

I open the door quietly to a mini gap and look inside. Again! Only Sena-san there! He is concentrating into his work so he do not notice me. Oh my god! I am feeling nervous again!

But as grandma said in last week, I must try my best to get along with him.

Take out all your courage! Amahane Madoka!

I take a deep breathe and open the door wide. Sena-san looks here.

"G... good morning." I say, with my hands trembling.

"Good morning." He replies shortly, and then go back into his work.

In the following ten minutes, we remain there without saying a word. I am extremely embarrassed by the atmosphere.

Finally, my uncomfortable feeling overcomes my nervousness. "Can... can I have a look tonyour paperwork?"

"... Whatever you like." He answers, keeping himself gazing at the paper and without looking at me for a second. He is impolite!

But actually, I am curious to see how a student of grandma's design is. I put my head closer to take a look.

It is amazing.

He is drawing a dress, with style similar to grandma's, but with less decorations and more creative designing idea.

And this is the first time for me seeing a dress design that I wish to wear, other that of grandma's.

"Why... why are you interested in designing? It is rare to hear a young boy designing dresses, especially dresses in cute style." His designation makes me more and more curious.

"Amahane-sensei is a great designer. It is the first time for me to see her design on TV. I am attracted by it."

On TV? "Is it that TV commercial selling the Angery bear?" I am quite sure.

"... Yes, it is."

That TV commercial is the most attractive one I've ever seen. My idol, Hoshimiya Ichigo, wears a pretty Angery Sugar dress, with a lovely teddy bear in her arms.

"After seeing that commercial, I become a big fan of Angery Sugar. Hoshimiya becomes my idol too."

Oh! Ichigo-chan is his idol too!

He continues, "I wish one day I can have a chance to see my own design being worn by her. I respect Amahane-sensei very much, so I am aiming to be a designer as great as her, even on top of her."

"It is impossible!" Almost immediately, I yell to him as loud as I can be, "grandma is the greatest designer ever! It is impossible for you to ride above her!"

Sena-san again replies me by silence.

I am fed up by what he has just said. He's nuts! I want to find my grandma. So I turn and leave the room.

Before I again open the door, I turn back to Sena-san, and speak, "may your wish come ture!"

It is, I guess, the kindest blessing I have ever made.
