"I don't understand! Where else could they have gone?" Ox had asked the librarians if they had seen the four girls walk in, which they hadn't, and he was stumped.

"Do you want to search outside?" Harvar took a step towards the door.

"I guess. Even if we are academic rivals, we are teammates and should help each other." They walked around Death City for a while until the finally stumbled across the group. Homura was bleeding from a major head wound, and Mami was coughing out blood.

"Is anyone near?" That question was addressed to Maka. The blonde girl closed her eyes, supposedly activating her soul perception.

"Ah! I forgot!" Harvar and Ox ducked, though it wouldn't help them at all.

"Harvar? Ox? What are you doing here?" The boys gulped nervously.

"Erm, well…"

"Never mind. Go away." That was Sayaka, glaring at the two boys, who slowly backed away.


"What was that?" Ox and Harvar talked in private, far away from the girls.

"I have no idea." Harvar risked a glance at Lord Death's room. "Should we tell him?"

"No! They were scary…" Ox shivered and Harvar sighed.

"Come on. Let's get packed for the sleepover."


"Mami, Homura, you can heal yourself now." Mami sighed in relief and the two girl's wounds disappeared.

"Do you think they'll say what they saw?" Sayaka looked pretty worried.

"No. Ox is a pretty big coward." Sayaka still looked worried but allowed herself a laugh.

"You were amazing, Maka! You too, Mami and Homura!" All four girls smiled at each other.

"Let's use the grief seed." Mami took her soul-gem, which was in the form of a necklace, and cleared it. Homura did the same and Maka did it to hers, which was in the shape of a ring.

"It's a good thing you guys changed immediately," Sayaka commented as the girls walked back.

"I can't imagine what they would think." Maka smiled.
"I was supposed to attend Kid's sleepover, but after that, I think we deserve a break."

"I agree. Would you like to rest at our house?" Homura opened the door to her and Maka's shared house.

"Wow! It's so big!" Sayaka turned around, taking everything in.

"Yeah, it's mostly because of that whole battle on the moon thing." Sayaka collapsed on the living room couch.

"I could go to sleep here…" she mumbled, making Mami laugh.

"How many souls do you have?" asked Maka in an attempt to make small talk.

"Because of the familiar souls, I'm probably up to 90 by now. It's too bad that Mami can't take advantage of that." Mami laughed slightly.

"I'm okay with that. As it is, I barely manage to keep this small secret. You're not a magical girl yet, Sayaka, so it's not as hard, and Maka, only we know about you weapon blood so there are no difficulties. Anyway, I'm fine to bringing Thomas to 100 souls the hard way."

"Because of this, Homura and I are probably the youngest death scythes." Homura faintly smiled.

"And probably no one will ever know." The magical girls talked for a while before saying their goodbyes. Unbeknownst to them, a snake watched through the wall.

"Hmmmmmmmmmm… I can work with this."
