Since that night, Homura decided to live a normal life. She went to the school and did the all late homework she hadn't made due the absences for saving Madoka's life from Kyubey's contracts and the witches attacking her in the past.

"So... What did you make to start to do that late homework, Miss Akemi?" The teacher asked.

"It's... Well... A long story..." Homura said "I cannot tell the details, it's personal, you know?"

"Okay, anyway... But you were late all these days and the only thing you have to do to graduate is the last examinations presented in June."

"I... I understand..."

She could see that it was hard to back on the school duties after that desperate war, but she hadn't any choice.

Homura studied hardly all the subjects she had failed. It wasn't a thing that would be done in only one day, and she could cheat in the examinations stopping the time and check the book out, but she promised herself that she wouldn't use these powers in her normal life she's taking.

While that day, Homura still missed Madoka, who was very gently with her, her best friend, the girl who tried to protect many many times in her trips through time... Homura was impatient to see her in the next dream. She's got something important to tell her.

At night, after she had got her dinner and bathing, Homura put her pyjamas and went to bed and waited for her own sleeping... just to see Madoka.

Homura opened her eyes and she could see that it's the same white empty place. Madoka was next to her.

"Welcome again, Homura-chan." Madoka said.

"Hi, Madoka-chan..." Homura hugged Madoka tight.

"Heheh, you're glad to see me, right?"

"Yes... Yes I am..." Homura broke the hug.

"Who're you, dear friend?"

"Fine, fine, I was thinking about you said about taking a normal life, and I'm on it. In fact, I'm studying hardly for the last examinations... And you?"

"I've defeated more demons and saved a lot of people, as always."

"From the past, I think?"

"And from the future too."

"Wow, you're like a traveling soldier from that game."

Madoka got the joke and started to laugh with Homura and she was laughing too. After the laughing, they were in silence for almost 20 seconds.

"Madoka-chan..." Homura said nervously "I've... got something important to tell you since the first time we've met."

"Yes? What is it?"

"I..." Homura was still nervous "When I've started the school where I've met you -in my time, of course-, you were very gentle with me... And... And with me no one was like you before..."

Madoka kept in silence, paying attention to Homura.

"We were friends quickly, and then to best friends... and... I've never met a friend very gentle like you... I was alone, alone in the darkness of loneliness and you were the light for me, illuminating my world..." Homura said all that, less nervous "But, when you died in my time, I've got these powers by Kyubey of travelling time. I wanted to save you changing your destiny in any way." Homura took some breaths "You... You are the best important for me in my life, Madoka-chan..."

"Aww, that's so sweet, Homura-chan..."

"But... When you've become god-like, I wanted to tell you something important... And I don't know that would be your reaction then, so I'll say it directly..."

Then, Homura took some long breaths to relax herself.

"Madoka-chan... I... You're more than a best friend for me... I... I love you..."

In that sentence, Homura closed her eyes tight, praying that Madoka would have a good reaction.

"Homura-chan, I love you too." Madoka answered then.

The Homura's surprised eyes began to fill in tears and she gave her first kiss to Madoka. A very long kiss that took like forever.

While they were kissing, Homura felt a good, warm feeling and... The feeling of a wish since for so long was very... even Homura couldn't find the fitting words to describe it.

After 2 minutes of kissing, they stopped.

"Madoka-chan... I really want to be with you... But I don't know how..." Homura was tearing.

"Me too, Homura-chan... Just give me time to finish with the demons, then I'll look for a way to be with you. I promise."

"You promise?"

"Yes. I promise." Medoka repeated.

"Thanks, Madoka-chan... Thank you very much..."

"The dream's ending. Time to leave."

"Okay, bye... And Madoka-chan...?"

"Yes?"

"I love you..."

Then, Madoka gave Homura a kiss and said "I love you too. Good bye!" while the dream was ending...
