"No, it can't be."
Madoka couldn't believe it, it just couldn't be. They have only met for a couple of days, it just can't be possible.
"But, what if it's 'love at first sight'? That could explain why I've been so interested in her since the very beginning, right?"
This was just so sudden, only a couple more hours remained for a new day to begin, Madoka needed to figure out a plan.
"I know I can't tell her how I feel for the moment. I mean, I may just be a friend to her anyways, and may I add that we're both girls, too!"
The pinkette rolled up in her pile of fuzzy blankets, "What do I do? This is so hard." She was buried under blankets, just wishing she didn't feel like this. "You can form a contract with me, and wish to resolve this."
The sudden voice made Madoka almost jump out of her skin, "Who- who's there?!" She looked around her room, nothing, she glanced towards the shelf that contained her plushies, something was there. A strange cat-like plushie was staring at her.
"Hi, my name is Kyubey. Nice to meet you Kaname Madoka."
"What are you, and how do you know my name?!"
"The small fluffy alien-like cat stepped off the shelf, and landed softly on Madoka's bed.
"I grant girls wishes, and you have the potential to become a magical girl, Madoka."
The girl couldn't help but stare, she pondered for a bit, trying to make sense of things.
"A magical girl, huh? Wait! Did you just say that I could become a magical girl?"
Kyubey nodded, "Yes, I can see you have what it takes. Are you interested?" Was this an open opportunity given to her? If she became a magical girl, she could fight alongside Homura; it'd mean they'd spent more time together.
"I want to, but I'll wait on it. Do you mind giving me some time to think about this, Kyubey?"
"Sure, I can wait."
Madoka smiled at Kyubey, "Thank you. Now, I'll go back to sleep, we'll deal with this tomorrow."
*x*x*x*x*x*
The next day, Madoka rushed through her morning routine, she was very excited. She wanted to tell Homura all about her potential of becoming a magical girl. She didn't even have time for breakfast; she just grabbed a slice of toast and left for school. She dashed through a few street blocks, she was almost there. Madoka finally made the last turn around the corner, Homura's apartment was visible. She could see a familiar figure there, locking her front door.
"Homura-chan, good morning."
The ebony spun around to meet the pinkette, "Ah, Madoka. Good morning." Madoka couldn't help but to feel butterflies in her stomach, she just seemed to like the ebony that much, and she didn't realize Homura was asking her a question either.
"It'd sure be helpful, don't you think?"
Madoka, without even knowing what the question was, simply nodded like an idiot.
"So you agree? You wouldn't mind Tomoe-san helping out from now on?" The pinkette's eyes shot open at the mention of Mami's name.
"Wait? What?!"
"Tomoe-san. You said you wouldn't mind her teaming up with me and helping out from now on."
Madoka mentally slapped herself, why didn't she pay attention instead of staring at Homura. "You want to team up with her?" Homura nodded, "I kind of want to, I could use some tips and stuff."
"Well, if it's to improve yourself, then I don't see why not Homura. Give it your best, okay?"
Madoka couldn't help but feel a bit of envy, but she pushed the negative feeling aside. Instead, she tried focusing in trying to know more about Homura, she still didn't know a whole lot about her.
"Hey Homura-chan? What do you like to do for fun?"
The ebony sort of shrugged, "Besides killing witches, I really don't do much. Why?"
Madoka timidly twiddled with her fingers, "Well, I was kind of wondering if you'd like to spend more time together."
"Hm, I guess doing something different every once in a while can't be that bad." The ebony smiled at Madoka, and the pinkette couldn't help but to blush. "Really? Well, how about we hang out today?"
The ebony nodded, "Sounds great." Madoka couldn't be any happier for the moment being, she was making progress with the ebony.
Maybe now's not the time to talk about my being a magical girl, but I wonder if you'd approve Homura-chan.
"Well good morning you two!"
The familiar voice caused Madoka to shiver, the voice belonged to Mami.
"Mind if I walk with you two?"
"Not at all."
The pinkette fell silent as all three made their way to school, she couldn't help but remember the nightmare she had.
"So, at what time do you wish to train, Akemi-san?"
Homura was about to answer, but remembered she had already made plans with the pinkette.
"About that, we've sort of already made plans to hang out today, can it wait?"
Mami couldn't help but feel left out, "Oh, okay. We'll just schedule for another time, then." She looked away, Mami didn't know why she felt this way, but she was feeling a bit of jealousy.
"Hey, um, if you want, you can hang out with us."
Homura didn't know how to go about asking someone to hang out; she's never done such thing. The blonde's face lit up at the invitation.
"Really? You wouldn't mind?"
Homura nodded, "Right Madoka?"
The pinkette couldn't say no to that, "O- of course." She faked a smile, but no one seemed to noticed, not even Homura.
"Okay, well, how about we go to the mall?" Mami was excited, she could spend time with Homura and… Madoka apparently. Both Homura and Madoka nodded in agreement, "Okay."
"It's a date then," Mami smiled sheepishly at the ebony before her.
A date huh? I don't think so Tomoe Mami!
The pinkette clasped the blonde's hands, "Yeah, a trio date! You, me, and Homura-chan!" Both girls looked at each other while the tension built up around them. Homura didn't even know what was going on, she just glanced at the girls holding hands giving stares at each other.
"You guys seem to get along already," Homura smiled. Both girls looked at each other's hands, and let go.
"Well, I'm off to my floor; I'm a ninth grader after all."
Before she left, Mami spun to glance at Homura, "Akemi-san, do you mind if I start calling you by your first name?"
"No, I don't mind."
With a smile on her lips, Mami pronounced the ebony's name.
"Homura."
She giggled, "You have such a lovely name, Homura." Madoka, however, wanted to just tape Mami's mouth shut.
Leave already, you freshman! Stop flirting already, I'm right here!
She couldn't help but to do something, so she gently squeezed Homura's hand.
"Homura-chan, we'll be late for class, should we go?"
The ebony, once again, completely unaware of the tension, only smiled and nodded.
"Right, let's go Madoka."
Victory! Madoka: 1, Tomoe-san: 0!
"See you after school Tomoe-san!"
Madoka taunted Mami with the brightest smile she could give. Mami didn't take this lightly, she just lost round one.
"So it's like that, pinkie? This means war."
A/N: I'm so so so so sorry! PLease forgive me! I just couldn't find the inspiration, and I was lazy. But please, don't kill me, I beg of you! Ahem, anyway, yeah. Mami declared war. I'm rooting for Madoka, girl I'm glad you stepped up your A-game. I'm so proud of you. As for the next chapter, I'm running out of ideas, any suggestions guys? I don't know what to do next! I'm freaking out here!
