Chapter 2. An explanation.

This is the second chapter people, so hello again readers and readets (lady readers?). Anyway before I start rambling let's go! Nearly forgot, I would like to thank Starlight AT for her help in this. Thanks Senpai!

Disclaimer: Gen Urobucher owns Madoka and Square Enix owns her move set this time around.

Mami sighed as she watched her newest student eat the cakes in front of her. They were at her apartment sitting at the triangular table, tea and desserts before them. "Madoka," the older girl spoke causing the younger to put her cake down. "I'm curious about your wish. Those techniques you used." Images of Madoka's swordplay and earth magic flashed in her mind. "As you might not know, depending on the wish you make affects your magic."

"Oh so say I wished for a ability to draw really well my magic would involve that?"

The older girl smiled at her student's example. "Precisely. If you tell me your wish then I shall do the same. Does that sound fair?"

Madoka pondered this for a second, her wish wasn't that special but... She wanted Mami to trust her. She saw the loneliness in the older girl's eyes. Not telling her would only harm their relationship. "My wish was... I wanted to become braver. I'm always relying on other people and I'm not that special. So when Kyubey came to me, I made that sort of wish."

-Flashback-

"That's amazing..." Madoka said as she watched her friend Sayaka play a new game she had purchased. The bluenette had chosen to play as a rather muscular man that bought a slight blush to the pink haired girl. From what she could see, he looked like an amazing fighter, swinging that sword around, no fear in his eyes. It was amazing to her. "Sayaka, what's the characters name?"

"Getting interested are we Madoka?" Sayaka teased causing the girl to blush deeper. "Who would think your first crush was from a game?"

"Sayaka chan" she whined at her best friends teasing grin. "I-I was just curious that's all."

"Sure you were," was the reply. "Anyway, the character is known as Jecht or the great Jecht."

"Great Jecht?" Madoka asked confused.

"It's what he calls himself." As she finished the sentence, a bell began to ring. "Lunch is done already?!"

"Maybe you should have continued to eat your lunch instead of tease me," the pink haired girl replied with a small grin.

-Time skip-

"Are you certain of your wish?" The white cat/weasel/bunny creature asked. It's unblinking red eyes seemed to peer into Madoka's soul as she looked into them. It's large white tail moved in a rather hypnotic kind of way. Gold rings floated around the long ear protrusions attached to it's regular ears. A red teardrop mark rested on it's back looking as if it could open. "Once you make it, you can't change it."

"I..." 'I can't turn back; this wish can help me become more of an ideal person. For myself and for my family and friends.' "I wish to become more brave like Sir Jecht."

"Your wish is granted." The creature spoke. A purple glyph appeared around Madoka as magic rushed into her body. A bright light enveloped the abandoned basement of the mall. As the light died down, Madoka stood there in a pink dress wielding a monster of a sword. "Congratulations, Madoka Kaname. You have just become a magical girl. Your wish was easy to grant since the potential you have matched the level of the wish." 'Her Potential... It's impressive. I wonder why.'

"Heh thanks Kyubey," The girl answered confidence filling her voice. She began to swing her sword around several times, getting a feel for it. "This power... This is the power of a champ."

Unfortunately Madoka let go of her sword at the wrong moment. It spun in the air several times before landing with an odd noise.

-SPLAT!-

-Flashback end-

"Kyubey didn't tell me that I would only get courage when I transformed though. I think that's because I accidentally crushed him... Now he won't go near me." The younger girl looked down, feeling like she had wasted her wish. A hand on her shoulder broke her out of her train of thought. "Mami senpai?"

"I'm not going to lie to you Madoka, it was a selfish wish." Before she had a chance to look down again, Mami continued. "But... Nevertheless I like your wish." Madoka's eyes widened with surprise in them. "You wanted to become a stronger person, to have courage so you could help yourself and then help others. The only other thing I don't agree on however is that you got the idea from a video game and I am assuming, this characters powers. Not to be rude Madoka, but I think a bow would suit you better then a sword." 'So that's why Kyubey isn't around. I'll talk to him about this later.'

"I might have to agree on that one." Madoka smiled deeply at her senpai's answer. "Um Mami senpai, what about your wish?" The older girl sighed as she closed her eyes.

"I didn't have a real chance to think about it. I was in a car crash and... My parents lost their lives... If Kyubey hadn't of come..." Mami's body jolted as she felt two arms wrap around her. "Madoka?"

"Mami senpai, I am so sorry you had to go through that alone." Tears rolled down the younger girl's cheeks as she held the older girl. "I promise you Mami senpai. I will stay with you for as long as possible." Mami's body froze as she took in her kohai's words. It was exactly what she wanted. Someone to stick by her. Tears began to roll down her the older girls eyes she hugged her student back. It was too easy to tell if it would stay that way but for now... She would face the day with a bright smile.

-Line break-

"Madoka," a black haired girl muttered as she stood on top of one of the nearby buildings. From where she was standing she could see into the blonde curly haired girl's apartment and she was not happy at what she saw.

"This timeline... How could she have already made a contract with Kyubey? What could have changed?" She took a deep breath in as she tried to figure out what her next step would be. "I haven't gone to class just yet... And I can't warn her there. It's far too late for that." She watched as her one and only friend hugged the blonde girl. She frowned deeply at what was happening. "If Mami Tomoe falls, Madoka won't forgive me and would fall into despair... What can I do?"

Taking another breath in, a thought occurred to her. "I can't keep her out of battle if she is learning from Mami. But if I can team up with both of them, I can keep Madoka and Mami Tomoe safe. That will be my plan for now... Unless something changes. This is for you Madoka, never forget that."

That's number two done. I hope this is a good length for chapters… if not oh well. Anyway read and review if you would like to. Thanks for your time, people.
