Mizuki: I'm terribly sorry for Cupcake-chan's temper in the ending of the previous chapter…

I think that tiny thing deserved it!

Mizuki: But that thing looks so sweet and innocent….

…..sw..eet… and… HAHAHAHA!

Mizuki: Um… hey are you ok… your going crazy again… o-O

Mizuki POV:

-In the Morning-

"And so it will be unexpectedly snowy for the following few weeks. It is bearable so just do what you would do regularly; of course bring your coat and…." The weather forecast reported from the TV in the livingroom. "Oh dear…. Just think in our first month here, it unexpectedly started snowing…" My mom chuckled drinking her coffee, "I guess…. But I like it…." I smiled eating my toast, "Well snowy days like this reminds me of the day you were born, Mizuki. You had no idea how happy your father and I were when you arrived- Oh I'll be late! Lock up ok? Have a nice day at school and don't forget your lunch again." My mom glanced at her watch and kissed my forehead and headed out the door.

I should get going as well…. I got up from the table and turned off the TV, grabbing my lunch and bookbag. I dashed to the door and glanced at the window watching the snow fall. I smiled and grabbed my coat from the closet near the door and headed to school.

"Did you decide on a wish yet Mizuki Tsubasa?" Kyubey asked catching up to me and landing on my shoulder. "No… not yet anyway…"

-At Breaktime-

"Ahh… the snow won't make us eat at the rooftop today… so we have to eat in class, this sucks…." Kyouko took a bite of her apple in a irritated way, "I don't know… I like it snowy…" I said smiling taking a bite out of my egg omelet, "I have to agree with Mizuki-chan at that!" Sayaka giggled drinking her water, "I actually don't mind as long as we all eat together! Right Homura-chan?" Madoka smiled packing away her lunch and Homura nodded. "Um, Mizuki, is there a specific reason why you like snowy days?" Mami asked taking one last bite of her egg, "I was born in snowy day and I always have a bunch of fun with my mom and dad on snowy days when I was little."

"…. that must have been nice," Homura said quietly putting away her lunch.

-After School-

"Awww crap we have a ton of homework I don't get…" Sayaka complained packing up to go home, "I say it's way too much pressure being a magical and school girl!" Kyouko said bitting a pocky stick. "I'm gonna be up all night… mhhhh…" Madoka sighed grabbing her bookbag from her desk, "Classes here are actually easier than I thought, back in Tokyo, classes are much harder…" I said putting my textbooks in my bag, "Oh I'm going to check out some books at the mall I saw before, I was gonna ask one of you to come but…" I said looking at the homework on Kyouko's desk, "Ahh, sorry we can't! How about you Homura-chan?" Madoka asked waiting for an answer, "Sorry… I'm going to the hospital for a check-up today." She answered, "I-it's ok, I'll go on my own it's fine!" I said waving good-bye to them and ran out the classroom.

-Sometime later-

This is it! I walked in the bookstore and looked around, I saw a bunch of shelves with books in them. "hmmm… this looks interesting…." I grabbed a book from the shelf called "Live or Die." I looked at the back for the summary, it says it's about a girl who was living in a world where war is everywhere and you either fight to live or do nothing and die.

"What an interesting book…" Kyubey said in my mind.

"I guess… I think I'll buy it."

I walked to the cashier and bought the book, as I was about to leave I noticed a girl with green hair and eyes drop her books in her hand, "Ahh.. clumsy me.."

I walked over to her and started to help her, she looked surprised as I helped, "And I think this is the last of your books, miss." I handed over her books, "Thank you very much," she smiled and got the books from my hand.

"Your Hitomi Shizuki, right?"

"Yes, and you're the new student, Mizuki….Tsubasa."

"Yes, and that novel is quite an excellent selection."

"Oh… your into this kind of stuff?"

"Yup! I really like the one you were reading!"

"Hehehe… that's nice. Um… would…you like to come grab a bite to eat?"

"Sure!"

Hitomi and I exited the bookstore and went to the food court. Hitomi ordered a sandwich with a bottle of water while I just ordered a blueberry smoothie. We sat down and talked for a bit, Hitomi is a really good person to have a conversation with. As we were talking, Kyubey just suddenly ran off somewhere and I wanted to chase after it but Hitomi was still here.

"Oh my… I'll better be going now. I still have prep school, it's been wonderful talking to you, Mizuki-chan! See you at school!" Hitomi grabbed her bookbag and ran off.

Thank goodness… now to find Kyubey. I sighed and ran to where Kyubey ran off to earlier but now confused since there were two paths, until I heard Kyubey in my mind.

"Mizuki! Come to the birthday supply store, quickly!"

"W-why?"

"You'll know when you get there."

I sighed and went off looking for the birthday supply store Kyubey was talking about. " 誕生日ジョーの(Birthday Joe's)? This must be the place…." I slowly walked into the store and looked around, "It looks normal here… where's Ky-" I suddenly noticed my surroundings change, it still looks like a little kid's art project, but the theme is different… it's like some birthday party. I should have know… Damn Kyubey really want me to wish something… I walked around the strange place looking for Kyubey or more importantly… a way out. Then some gift-wrapping paper came out of nowhere and wrapped around me from behind, "I…..c-can't….bre…ath…." I struggled getting the wrapping paper of me, but no good. "I can save you, just wish for something." Kyubey appeard in front of me.

I guess…. I don't have a choice….unless I wanna suffocate to death. "F…ine…I….w-wish…"

"Hey! No fair you get all the fun little missy~"

A girl jumped down and cut off all the wrapping paper off me and placed me on the ground. I coughed a little finally able to breathe properly.

"You ok little missy?"

I looked up and saw a girl with shoulder-length, copper-blonde hair with two pointytails and some of her hair down with a long-sleeve light orange top and a short dark orange skirt, with her hazel/amber eyes looking at me, and she wielded 2 morning star(it's basically a stick and at the end it's a spiky ball).

"Um…ya….I'm ok," I said getting up and fixing my uniform, "That was a close shave! You almost became a magical girl, little missy!" She said pointing at Kyubey.

"So what?"

"What do you mean SO WHAT?! Anyway….. I guess you'll have to follow me until I kill the witch ya know if you wanna get out."

We walked around the place for a while and ran into a few familiars but of course were merely a nuisance. "You know…. I never thought a human would be stuck in a witch's labyrinth , but I guess Kyubey's pestering you, right?" She said trying to make things seem less awkward,

"Well I guess…"

"Hehehe~ I'm Nokoru, Nokoru Sonozaki." She extended her arm for a handshake and smiled.

"I'm Mizuki…. Tsubasa…" I smiled shyly shaking her hand.

"Well I guess we better hurry things up a bit if we wanna meet the witch today, Mizuki-chan!" Nokoru did't let go after the handshake and just started running dragging me along. "Oh, by the way… I like your hair! Especially how you fixed if with your hair down and two dark blue ribbons on each side of your head(Think of Tohru's hair style from fruit basket)!" Nokoru said smiling as we ran.

We kept running until we saw a huge decorated door, "Is this where the witch is, Nokoru-chan?" I turned to Nokoru and she nodded, "We can finally leave after I kick this witch's ass!"She smiled and opened the door charging head-on with the huge- monster in a dress with a party hat. It was continuously throwing huge gifts at Nokoru and a bunch of ribbons tried to tie her up, but she avoided all of them and hit the witch a number of times, "I had enough of playing tag with all of your familiars, witch…." She said as her weapons got bigger and bigger and they were glowing. I watched with amazement and Nokoru finally hit the witch with her weapons and the witch disappeared, making our surroundings normal.

"Yay… I did it…"Nokoru kinda lost balance and knelt down panting, I rushed over,

"A-are you ok?!"

"Hey, don't worry about it, Mizuki-chan! I-I just used a little too much power again, that's all."

Then a weird gray gem appeared in front of Nokoru and she took it.

"W-what's that?"

"It's a grief seed. Sometimes witches hold these things and magical girls use grief seeds to cleanse their soul gems so we have more magic."

"I see."

Nokoru finally stood up and used the grief see on her soul gem and was about to run out, "Wait! I haven't really thank you properly yet!"I called out putting my hands to my chest, Nokoru just smiled and said, "Don't worry~ We'll meet each other real' soon!" and just ran off.

Huh? What does she mean by that?

That's all for now!

Mizuki: Ahh…. Soooo much things… to understand about magical girls and witches.

Nokoru: And special thanks to The Cutest Otaku! Arigato Ota-chan! ;3
