So I always imagined Patrica's head to be like Celty's from Durarara! Go to Google and look up "Celty's head Durarara" but with those big framed glasses like Homura's only black.
She awoke and let the rain wash over her. It purified her body but not her mental state which she wished-
She lay there and laughed thinking back; wish.
Her mother (a women with rare auburn hair, she smelled of apples and cinnamon, she looked like an older version of her daughter but with a little more tanned skinned and without glasses and blue eyes) taught her at a young age how to sew.
Weaving, stitching and knitting became skills for her but she didn't want to carry on in her mother's legacy to create toy's, dresses, quilts and blankets.
Despite her mother being a part of the community, most people went to stores and bought their clothes there. Since the business was doing poorly, she wanted to find her own talent and thought about it every time, she hung up clothes to dry.
Her mother urged her to take over the shop as a back up plan but when she told her mother why she refused her mother returned her smile and told her it was tradition to run the shop and proud that she wanted to try her own way in life.
She tried hockey and discovered she was great on skates but she could not take a hit nor could not be coordinated enough with others when it came to trying to make a goal or block a shot.
She ran for class president and lost because not of her lack of a platform or gusto to tackle an issue but because her communication skills were limited and she became nervous in front of her peers.
She had the will but she lacked commitment to keep on going, out of the fear of failure?
She spent many hours devoted to school and studying and was often left at home alone as her mother went out on a date with the rich man, such as when she wasn't helping her mother run her shop.
The time and effort spent studying though were wasted when her mind couldn't comprehend math, history, english or science well. PE was simple and Japanese was her native tongue...Sure she could be a translator but it required her to be great at other languages and she had a hard time with grammar and translating words.
She sulked at yet another C and was watching the shop, she returned from school and hadn't changed (It was a bad habit of hers to not change after school out of fatigue).
She was reading a book on how to be a model when a man, who was well dressed, entered the store. They stared at each other for a bit and she could have sworn he was blushing before he went around feeling cloth. The man talked to himself in mumbles and Patricia shyly looked up at him and remarked how dashing he was before reading her book in silence about the tale of "Lolita", translated into Japanese.
The man (was in a full suit, he looked tone but was skinny) looked at his watch and that's when the door behind the counter opened. Standing there was Patricia's mother in a lovely evening gown she designed, when asked where she was headed, she grabbed the man next to her and they told her that they were on their way to a fashion show and that she hoped that her pieces would impress judges which she carried in hand. Patricia nodded and wished her mother luck.
The man winked at her and said that if her mom played her cards right she might own a franchise of stores, since he was a business man who was rich and looking for an opportunity to expand his empire of brand names.
Patricia smiled, fortune had finally been bestowed upon her family.
She awoke the next day and made breakfast for herself, it was OK but lacked that "omph" that restaurant food had, spices among other things she thought.
She took her glasses to after breakfast and showered. She ran by her mother's room and found it empty. She called out to the house and said that she was skating on roller blades to school and shrugged when no one responded, maybe her mother partied late?
The phone rang and her mother told her she would be staying over at her business' partners estate because the show took place in town about 2 hours away that and she had to talk to some other designers late past midnight at a diner.
She told her mother to be on her best behavior and she laughed and replied that she loved Patricia, she returned the affection.
On the way out the door she froze up, there was a spider. She hated spiders not because of their legs but because of their webs and trapping things in them and the tortured feeling of waiting to be free and they were poisonous.
She skated out the store screaming and almost tripped over a...It reminded her of Eevee's evolution, Umbreon because of the blue rings it had on it's back, and blue eyes that were unblinking and that same expression reminded her of it's sprite.
At school, she was an observer, she noticed issues and tried her best to fix them or suggest ways to improve other's situations but that backfired on her sometimes in that nothing gets resolved or because no one listened to her.
The...Eevee thing followed her and she noticed that others couldn't see it.
She asked what it wanted from her at lunch, alone in a closet and it explained that it granted wishes.
Patricia was a smart girl, wishes belonged in fairy tales and other fiction like genies.
As a test of it's power, it mentally talked to her.
She asked why it chose her and it replied because it she had potential to be a magical girl.
She repeated "magical girl" with a blank look on her face and a finger to her mouth.
It sighed and from it's eyes it projected an image of a magical girl fighting a witch and saving people.
At the end of the "presentation" he said the words that would sell her.
"You could wish to be talented at something."
Patricia gasped.
If it could mentally talk to her then...
"I have to think about it."
"Of course, just call me when you have settled on your wish."
"How do I do that?"
"Just say 'I'm ready' in your mind or aloud and then I will return. For now there are others whom wish to make a wish, goodbye."
It vanished as the bell rang and she came out of the closet some others thought she accidentally was put in there as a prank and she just said that she felt like throwing up after seeing a spider eat a fly, so she ran in there and found a bucket to hurl in.
Days passed as she wanted to word her wish carefully. It became the main focus for her and she lost thought in school, her grades went down but she didn't mind, she always did her homework despite tests bringing her down.
Arriving at home she saw several customers and noticed they were mostly men.
They bought toys for their kids or dresses for their wives and after an inquiry of what size they were and finding out one of her customers was a cross-dresser she napped with a smile that she was able to help people.
Her mother returned home after a few days.
She asked her about a hypothetical wish and her mother admitted that she was content with her life and that the meetings went well she also had other news.
In order to pay back her business partner they were to be wed since he needed a heir to the family in order for him to get more money.
It turned out they were learning of each other on dates and at work so that their compatibility would pay off after an interview to see if she was just marrying because he was rich.
Patricia fainted about the news of marriage and her mother started to freak out.
She expressed a range of emotion when she learned she was the bridesmaid.
Even though her mother was a success and there would be money for her to attend college, maybe she wouldn't her wish after all.
Needing to go on another trip, her mother left her and she noticed that even though she was left alone a lot that she was fine with this.
About a week passed and her mother still had not returned and she called the "playboy" as she affectionally called her father to be.
He called back saying that her mother was in a violent car accident.
They still couldn't find her head.
The rest, expect to see in part 2, tomorrow or later tonight.
