Hewo! Hope you're having a nice day! :3

DISCLAIMER: 'COURSE I DON'T OWN ANY OFFICIAL MADOKA MAGICA STUFF LIKE THOSE NONEXISTENT PLUSHIES

いきましよう!

"Heh heh. Mami! Kyouko! How good it is to see you two today!" I tried my best to sound normal, but judging by their faces, I don't think it worked.

"Uh...Homura? You still sick or something?" Kyouko took a bite of her apple.

"I agree, is something wrong, Homura?" Mami sipped some tea.

Where the hell did she get tea from?

"No, no! I'm fine, it's just...uh," c'mon Homura think! "I've been gone for a few days, so I just felt like giving a little greeting!"

They stared at me for a while and I genuinely thought they were going to kill me, but they just shrugged it off and Kyouko let out a "meh".

"So, Sayaka! What ar-" Just before Kyouko could even ask I cut her off, which was probably a mistake.

"Anyway, just have a question, so I'm just going to drag the both of you over here."

I grabbed Mami and Kyouko by their arms and dragged them away as fast as I could to destroy that akwardness I just created. I can't help it though, I'm anxious and I need to know EXACTLY what this timeline is. I took one last deep breath before I decided to speak.

"...Soooooo..."

"Well? What is it?! I was right about to ask Sayaka something until YOU butt in!"

"Calm down Kyouko, let her speak."

"Whatever." Kyouko just rolls her eyes

What is wrong with me? Okay... one... two... three:

"So, how long have you been Magical Girls?"

WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL? Who just asks that? Ugh... me of course...

"I'm sorry, what're you talking about?" Kyouko turned to Mami. "Do you know what this is about?"

"Afraid not." She shrugged.

"Uh...right..." I looked down. "Sorry, that was a bit pointless."

"Kyouko!" Mami scolded in a disapppointed tone, I guess she kind of misread the me looking down part.

"Look, sorry, I guess I can get a bit out of hand sometimes, but don't worry. We'll still be your friends, you know?" She smiled.

"Mhm." Mami finally seemed more satisfied-sounding.

My head darted up ,to meet her eyes, as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog. It caught me off -guard and started to make me wonder, just what kind of timeline is this?

"Hey, don't look so down, would you? We should go, classes are going to start again soon."

I just nodded my head and followed after them back to the table.

I still can't say Magical Girls are completely out of the equation, but where did my weapons go? They've completely disappeared, leaving me with no way to escape if this timeline isn't what it looks to be.

-After school-

"Hoooooooomuraaaaa!" Out of the corner of my eye I could see Madoka waving her arrms.

"Yo!" WHAT IN THE FUDGE, WHY? I CAN'T EVEN DO A PROPER GREETING FOR MADOKA.

"Oh...yooo!" She said back, but when she says it it sounds way less horrible.

"I'm bored, wanna do something or go somewhere? You know, just quality time together?" Hmmm, I must've caught that wrong...

"Sorry, I don't think I quite got that."

"Oh." She came a step closer and it almost made me step back. "Would you like to hang out with me?"

I knew this timeline wasn't real. I knew it. MADOKA WOULD NEVER ASK A COLD PERSON LIKE ME TO GO OUT! (Assuming she's asking me on a date)

"What are you? You're not Madoka!" I pulled my gun out. (Except I didn't because it wasn't there)

She started to laugh, a lot, and I loved the sound of it, it made me lower my arm and stare.

"I'm so glad you're back, Homura!" She tackled me like she would do to Sayaka.

Like the dumb bit a am, I just sat there surprised and stared. I want this to be different though, so summoned just barely enough courage to hug her back. It felt so nice I didn't want to let go, I never want to let go of Madoka, but it made remember every time I failed her and it just made my grip tighter. It made my tears fall. It made me sob.

"Homura! You're kind of crushing me!" I really didn't want to, but we pulled apart.

"It's alright Homura! We could even go to my house if you want!" She grabbed my hand and started dragging me through the neighborhoods.

"TAIYAKI!" We both spotted a Taiyaki stall and bought red bean ones then decided to go to the park.

After we finished our food we just lazily sat on a bench and looked up at the sky, it was getting a bit dark.

"I'm sorry Homura, but I think I should go home now it's almost dinner." She got up.

"Ok." It came out a whisper.

Don't leave, I wanted to say.

"Okay! I'll see you tommorow then!"

I just stared at her back for a while until getting hit by a block of realization and I started to run towards her.

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN!" I grabbed her wrist and stared at the ground.

"Homura..." Tears were forming in my eyes again and I was becoming what I used to be before.

That cowardly girl with glasses who was so weak she couldn't even save her friend. The Homura Akemi I still am in the inside...

It looked extremely questionable in public, but Madoka decided to stand on her toes and push her lips onto mine. Now, THAT, caught me EXTREMELY off guard!

She stepped back and looked away for a second with burning red cheeks.

"Sorry, I just thought, th-that you'd stop crying if I somehow surprised you."

I was shocked, but it gave me confidence, I slid my hand across my face and felt nothing out of place.

"It worked." For the very first time I spoke loud and clear.

It was like that kiss changed everything, it gave me new strength.

"See? I promise I won't leave you at all! I know! You can come have dinner with me, everyone would love to have you over!" Madoka held her hand out.

"Okay!" I GRINNED and HAPPILY took it.

Huh? My voice...it sounded lighter and higher...

Yusss. I am one year older than I was yesterday, yaaaay! Sorry I was gone so long I had to go on a school trip for quite a few days and when I got back I was all tired out. Anyway, hope y'all are doing awesome and see ya in the next one!
