Mai had never seen this coming. She took steps to prevent this, and yet, there were other plans already in motion. So, she took the necessary steps to prepare. Pep-talks became her best friend, books held stories that told her what to do, what to look for, and when to apply certain behaviors or emotions. What she didn't know, she learned along the way. It had already taken over.

After 4 years of not seeing Naru, Mai has had plenty of time to focus more on school and her future. Top of her class, and graduating from a university early due to outstanding grades has put Mai on a high pedestal. Fast forward to the present, she is currently the 'Oliver Davis' of Japan, and one of the most talented and powerful ghost hunters. What happens when Madoka hears?

After a day of shopping, Mai certainly didn't expect this was going to be waiting for her when she got home. Just a short story! Enjoy!
