A week had passed since the incident with the said "witch", and Nepeta had become close friends with Kanaya and Feferi, who stood by her side to and from school the entire week, looking out for the witches that were infesting the city. On their way to Lestonia High, Nepeta was a few steps behind her two friends so she could think. It's only been a week since then, and Nepeta was still slightly traumatized over the fact that magic and those weird creatures that took over a magical girls soul as soon as they die. Kanaya had explained the whole endeavor to her as soon a they took her home. And Scratch, the name of the cat that they got rid of in a dumpster after the fight, was constantly pushing Nepeta into becoming a magical girl. When they arrived to school, Kanaya said she had to meet up with Rose before class and left before hand, leaving Feferi and Nepeta to an awkward silence. Feferi looked among the crowd of students to find a tall male amongst them, broken sunglasses over his eyes. Feferi got up excitedly, "I'll go get Equius, stay here okay?" Nepeta nodded, eyes wide. She took this time to take out her custom made tablet her deceased mother had given her two years ago before she died. She felt the green velvet that incased her tablet. Nepeta turned on the screen and took out her pen, tapping in information from the weeks events and updating her shipping wall that she was to work on over the weekend. While looking out for potential ships, she felt that someone was watching her. She turned slightly only to find a girl clad in red and black smiling at her.

The girl walked over and sat next to her. She seemed strange at first , but her smile said a lot about her. Nepeta smiled back and both became friends quickly, Aradia sharing her stories of her life with a traveling family.

Aradia Megido was abandoned at a young age of three, sent to an orphanage at six, and was then adopted by a wealthy family at ten. Her family traveled a lot so she wasn't able to make many friends at the schools she been to before this one. She also said that her family stopped traveling due to her step-father's death.

Nepeta noticed that she smiled widely at the word "death". Aradia smiled even wider when she explained how her interest in death began when her father died. Nepeta thought it was sort-of weird for someone to have this interest, but she didn't mind it really.

Feferi came back with a large man following her, his build extravagant. Muscles were slightly developed but still had the body of a bodybuilder. Nepeta smiled, "hi, Equius," she turned to Aradia, "this is Aradia Megido, shes new here," she said with a smile. Nepeta had longed to match her best friend with anyone that he had an interest in. Aradia's eyes went wide when she saw him, a gentle scarlet red climbing onto her cheeks. Equius's face did the same. They both smiled shyly at each other and then the bell rang. Equius rubbed the back of his neck when Aradia grabbed her things, "Shall I accompany to class?" He asked, sweat gathering at his forehead. Aradia giggled and nodded. They both stood by each other as they made they're way to class. Nepeta smiled at and tapped in a new ship on to her tablet.

Class began and Nepeta was happily bound to the teachers every word. It wasn't until he was called to the office that Nepeta knew something really amazing was going to happen.

Kanaya was in charge while he gone, making sure everyone did there work and behaving as the teacher asked.

When Mr. Slai came back, he had a student with him. Short, with jet black hair and dark bags under his eyes, clad in a black sweater. Nepeta felt her cheeks turn red, her heart skipped a beat. Was it really Karkat Vantas? Here? Finally? Nepeta held these feeling inside her. She stared at Karkat as his father sat him down in the desk in front of him.

"Karkat Vantas will now be studying with us, please make him feel comfortable here," the teacher announced.

Nepeta stared at Karkat the entire class, mesmerized by his quietness. The teacher would always say he was loud when something he didn't approve of came ramming at him. Nepeta sighed and smiled letting her mind go off in a imaginative trance.

Imagination world:

Nepeta ran through the grassy fields of an open grassland she found a while back during the summer, spinning and jumping in a white sequin dress. Nepeta ha always kept this happiness inside for a while, and she needed a way to display it with embarrassing herself. This happiness she felt on occasion, or, when ever she couldn't display a sad face. She jump over a small stream, landing on the other side only to find that someone was waiting for her.

His dark hair blew in the wind, dressed in all white. He turned slowly, revealing his handsome face to Nepeta. Karkat Vantas smiled at Nepeta, who blushed. He opened up his arms to her. Nepeta felt her heart skip a beat, was he finally going to accept her? How she dreamed of this, and she only just met him! She ran into his arms and with such force, they both fell into the white grass under them.

"Nepeta, I'm a magical boy," whispered Karkat.

Nepeta was surprised by he erupt comment, sitting up on his pelvis. Karkat smiled up at her, slowly beginning to caress her thighs. Nepeta was startled by the warmth of his hands and gripped the hem of her skirt. Karkat reached up and pulled her into a kiss, causing her to arch her back. Nepeta was surprised by this, receiving something like this from the actual Karkat would really drive her off the wall. Karkat sucked lightly on Nepeta's tongue. Sparks went up Nepeta's spine when her lovers hands slowly crawled up her skirt. Surprised, Nepeta pulled away, sitting up. But other than the fact that Karkat was being frisky, something else had caught Nepeta's eyes.

Off in a distance, a bystander was watching them. The bystander was far enough for Nepeta to only squint long enough to see that the bystander was actually herself. The girl far off was dressed. In magi form. Blue boots with a slight heal reaching up to her knees. A cream colored skirt over a pair of black pants, and a green cropped jacket with a soul gem to clip it together. Nepeta, curiosity getting at her, jumped off karkat, and toward her dream self. When they met, Nepeta knew there was something wrong with the figure in front of her. Blood. Drenched in red blood. Her magi self smiled wickedly at her, holding a grief-seed in her hand. The seed held the cancer sign on the front. Nepeta turned to if Karkat was there, only to find that was sitting in a pool of his blood. Tears filled Nepeta's eyes when she saw the spectacle. If this was what to come if she were to become magical girl, then she rather just kill herself.

School was finally over, and Aradia and Equius had become pawsomely close. Nepeta smiled at the couple as they spoke to each other happily. Equius, being the gentleman that he was, grab her hand and kissed it, causing her to giggle happily. Nepeta smiled at the cheesy said they're goodbyes and Aradia made way over to Nepeta, Kanaya, and Feferi.

"Mind if I walk home with you guys?" She asked, smiling with a blush flushing her cheeks.

"Sure, do leave in the neighborhood?" Kanaya asked. Aradia nodded and they were off.

Today was Friday. Something was gonna happen to the girls, something that happened to them last week, but was planned before hand. Aradia had sensed some movement in an abandoned mansion across the way, taking out her jewel that was glowing a bright red.

"You're magical girl as well?" Kanaya asked, staring at the glowing soul. Aradia nodded and mentioned them to follow her. Her jewel glowed brighter when they went to the side of the house.

"It's here," Aradia announced, pointing to the wall, where a small reality breaking crack appeared.

Kanaya transformed into her magical outfit and took out her a tube o lipstick, swiping the green stick across her lips. Aradia and Feferi transformed as well. When Aradia transformed, her pupils disapeared and her clothes appeared ripped. She floated two inches off the ground as if she was a ghost. Scratch appeared with his blank, paper like face. Nepeta reached out and he jumped into her arms.

"Everyone ready? Nepeta?" Kanaya asked.

Nepeta nodded.

Kanaya's lipstick transformed into her chainsaw. The chains began to rage as soon as she stuck the weapon into the crack. The crack then opened into a large, teacup-shaped door. Everyone jumped through the door and into the labyrinth.
