SPOILER ALERTS READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

Kyosuke's soul gem is red,

While Sayaka's is blue,

We don't own characters,

And we've made this fanfic for you

NOTE: We're very sorry we couldn't get this posted earlier, as we were busy drawing the cover. Hey, at least it's up now, right? The cover should be up soon after this too.

Chelsea's POV

"Wake up!" A soft voice sung out beside me. I mumbled something incoherent before rolling over, yanking the covers over my head as I did so. Wait a minute...Fern or mom didn't wake me up that way….

I shrugged it off. The gears in my heads were still too heavy to turn. The rustling stopped and I peeked my head out from the covers, checking if the coast was clear. Blinding light flooded my eyes as the intruder yanked open the curtains, the morning light spilling into the room. "Argh!" I screamed, shielding my eyes from the light. "The light! IT BURNS!"

The prankster giggled before stepping out of the light. My eyes widened as a familiar curl of blonde hair bounced into sight. "Mami-san?" She opened her honey colored eyes and blinked in confusion. "Don't you recognize me?" She asked. I was just about to scream at her until all the memories of yesterday slammed into me like a train.

"Sorry Mami-san….I have a short memory...but I remember everything now…" I laughed and scratched my head.

"It's okay!" She smiled before winking mischievously at me. I looked at her, confused until she pointed at the still sleeping figure of Fern. I grinned back at her. Mami...you are so evil….

"How shall we wake her up?" I whispered, a notebook in hand. "I have ice cubes in the kitchen...how about we do something….creative with them." I ditched the notebook and ran to the kitchen, silently laughing at the master plan we had.

Fern's POV

The dreams my mind makes are strangely intricate. Sometimes they remind me of a witch's labyrinth. Man, those labyrinths were messed up! The first time I watched the episodes with Chelsea, we freaked out in the beginning of the first episode….what was happening? Where was the world?

That also reminded me of Meduka Meguca, an abridged series of PMMM by mahoutroupe. 'Hai...ma homies….my name is Kyubey….give my yo body….' That sentence always cracked me up!

Anyways, back to the dream. Tonight, I was in a coffee shop, ordering ice for some reason, and suddenly I was awoken to a very unpleasant feeling. "GAH!" Someone had put ice cubes in cold water and dumped it on me!

I sat up, cursing. "CHELSEA!" I roared, eyes flashing dangerously. I heard an 'eep' and knew that I found my target. I flung the covers to the ground and stood up, growling. I paused when I saw a surprised Mami clutching the glass of water. We stared at each other for a few minutes before we burst out laughing. Who knew that Mami was a prankster?

"Come on," Mami stood up, already dressed and ready to go, "let's get you signed up for school."

-time skip-

Chelsea's POV

We came out, clutching our new class schedules. Everything had passed so easily. The principal didn't suspect us, even when Fern was seen gawking at the traditional Japanese school uniform. I elbowed her for the eleventh time this morning.

School was going to start in a few minutes and we couldn't afford being signed off as freaks. Mami chuckled and waved us off, saying a quick goodbye. I nodded and bowed again, forcing Fern's head down as well. She glared at me once Mami entered the school. "Was that really necessary?" She asked, rubbing the back of her head.

"Yes." I responded, looking at her pointedly. She sighed, "Fine, I'll stop fan girling over my uniform...but come on….just for once…" She looked up at me with watery puppy dog eyes, anime style! I gave in to her antiques and seeing as there was nobody else around, spun around once, admiring the short skirt as it spun around.

Fern squealed and pulled me into a bone crushing. "KAWAII!" I laughed and squealed back, the excitement of the situation was finally breaking away at my 'cool self'. "I KNOW RIGHT?" The school bell rang, stopping our silly fan girling moment.

Students were arriving and good mornings were filling the air. Suddenly, we noticed a famiilar pink haired girl talking with an equally familiar blue haired girl. This was the day, wasn't it? The day they met Mami and later Akemi! I looked at Fern, a knowing glint in my eyes. She nodded once and grinned.

Today should be a very interesting day.

-*time skip* Katrina: WHY SO MUCH TIME SKIP?-

The day passed by faster than we expected. Everything had passed by in a blurr, making friends, introducing ourselves to the class, and the lessons. It'd been surprising when the students didn't notice or complain about the strange accents in our Japanese. It was a good thing that we took those Japanese lessons before we got these rings.

Now, we were strolling aimlessly down the path to Mami's apartment. Apparently, she was busy with two other new 'friends' and told them to wait at the room for her. Fern had merely laughed and commented on how good it was to make new friends but then shot me a nervous/excited look. This was when the story begun and real mayhem would be unleashed from here.

What are we here for? That little voice in the back of my head called out to me. I hesitated. True, it was strange….what did Ukato mean by we were now the 'anime guardians'? "Fern…." I turned to look at my best friend. "I don't think I'm ready for this yet." Fern turned to look at me.

"What do you mean?" I sighed and ran my hand through my red hair. "We need more information...not on this world but on our powers. We can't just charge into battle without planning first and we defiently can't make a contract with Kyubey."

Fern shuddered. I knew how much she hated Kyubey for causing so much pain to the magical girls. "Good thinking Chelsie….I think it's time we talked to Ukato." I nodded, eyes dull from worry and stress lighting up. Fate might've laughed at us as we stumbled blindly through this world at first but now, the tables were turned.

Fern's POV

Back at the apartment, we closed all the curtains and locked the front door. As a precaution, we headed deeper into the apartment, into our shared room and locked that door too. This gathering was far too important. They would have NO interruptions.

I looked at Chelsea, impatiently awaiting the grand moment. She nodded and smiled at me. Reassured, I concentrated on my ring and we both yelled, "UKATO!.WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!" The moment the words were out my mouth, I regretted choosing that sentence as our 'summoning' phrase. I looked over at Chelsea. She was shaking her head and muttering to herself. No doubt that she regretted it too.

However, the summoning phrase worked. A white flash of light illuminated the room and the same white beam of light opened up in the room. Ukato appeared, reading a manga and looking slightly bored. She looked up at us and her gaze instantly brightened. "FINALLY! I THOUGHT YOU FORGOT ABOUT MEEEEE! I'VE BEEN SOOO LONELY!" She cried, anime tears and sparkles lit the room.

We sweat dropped (anime style...OH YEAH!) as she pranced around the room, stars and hearts following her. "Er…." Chelsea stuttered, trying to catch her attention. Ukato stopped bouncing around, only to meet Chelsea and Fern's gaze with an almost dangerous gaze.

"Anyways...you're here for business, right? Then let's get down with the questions!" Chelsea cleared her throat. "ER, um, yes, well, what exactly did you mean by anime 'guardians'?"

"I meant nothing more than that. You guys now have the responsibility of watching over anime characters and making sure everything turns out like it's supposed to, because if it doesn't, ALL HE** BREAKS LOOSE!" Ukato cried. "A bit enthusiastic, aren't we.." I muttered under my breath.

Ukato pointed at me. "I HEARD THAT YOU KNOW!" She pouted. For some reason she reminds me of Fuko from CLANNAD. Except for the starfish. She sighed, "Anyways. Next question. By the way, just so you guys know, I can't touch material things, like what I'm saying is I can't hold a chair or something so I can't be your solution to every problem. Okay? I'm more of an advice giver."

We nodded. I had expected as much. "Anyways, what if Kyubey wants us to make a contract? I mean, you know how persistent he is. He'll just keep harassing us, and with all those spare bodies, we can't get rid of him." I asked. Ukato was silent for a bit. Then she spoke, "Just do what you guys think is best. There may be a time when you have no choice. Wait until then." She began to glow. "AW COME ON! I WANNA TALK MORE!" She sighed, and looked back at us. "Sorry guys, times up. I'll come back when you call, but only once per day, okay?" We nodded, and she waved as she dissolved into a million sparkles.

Chelsea's POV (Sorry...there's a lot of POV switches…)

When she was gone, Fern turned to me with a serious expression. "Look...Utako didn't answer our question. What DO we do if Kyubey forces us to make a contract with us?" I froze up, I seriously didn't have an answer to that. What if that DID happen?

I went into thinking mode, pulling out all the pros and the cons of the situation. Fern was pacing, muttering things under her breathe. Sweat trickled down my face (anime style….) as I thought of a solution. Almost there…..and….

"HA I GOT IT!" We both yelled in unision. We looked at each other, surprised. "What's your idea?" I asked her, curious. "We could just keep killing him over and over again…" She responded, a mad glint in her eyes as she pulled out a chainsaw from thin air. Like literally, she just reached her hand out into the air and POP! There was a blood-red chainsaw.

"I was thinking….we're gonna have to make the contract with Kyubey, so why not mess with his teeny weeny brain of his?" Fern stopped her ranting, confused. "We're gonna have to make a wish...right? And why not wish to never become witches..." I winked deviously at her.

"BRILLIANT!" Fern nearly roared, pouncing on me. "WE SHALL MESS WITH THAT MONSTER'S MIND AND CONFUZZLE HIM FOR ONCE! HE SHALL FEEL THE HATRED AND THE SORROW WE FEEL! LET'S GET HIM!" Fern pointed at a random spot in the room, which happened to be the bed and closed her eyes, concentrating. I knew she was trying to summon Kyubey.

In a puff of black smoke, a familiar pink monster bounced onto our bed. He turned his gaze to us. "Hello. My name is Kyubey. Who are you?" I shivered. HOW COULD IT TALK WITH IT'S MOUTH SHUT LIKE THAT?

"I'm Fern...and this is Chelsea, my best friend. But I know you already know all about us, especially our secret...right?" Fern had walked up to the bed, glaring down at Kyubey with hatred. "You listened in on our conversation...didn't you?"

As soon as Fern said that, horror filled me. It wasn't the horror that Kyubey knew we weren't from here. Just the horror that even HE had THE NERVE to stalk me. I stood next to Fern, glaring down at Kyubey too.

Kyubey didn't react to our accusations, just swirled his long white tail around and dipped his head. "Looks like you're really smart girls after all." He looked up at us, pink eyes flashing. I cringed, knowing that THAT particular question was coming up.

"Would you like to be magical girls? You have the powers to change the world, you-" "Yes." I blurted out, cutting into his little speech. Fern looked at me, surprised. Never before had I interrupted anybody. Never before had timid little Chelsea ever responded to somebody with so much confidence. I was proud of myself.

Kyubey stayed silent, staring up at us for a few minutes before nodding. "Alright...I guess you already know the procedure, don't you? So, what's your wish?" He wrapped his tail around his body and looked at us expectantly.

"Yes, our wish is too never become witches...EVER." Fern stepped forward, taking over the leader role. I was surprised on how straight forward Fern could be sometimes. Kyubey was surprsied. None of the other girls had ever made wishes like this...EVER. These girls must be sharper than he thought they were. "That'll...that'll change your destines as magical girls...forever." He responded, not dropping his cool attitude. (Like he ever could...he has NO EMOTIONS...)

Fern's eyes hardened. "I don't believe you hard us clearly. We accept fighting witches to the death and risking our lives for one wish...you promised each and every magical girl to grant any wish in the world. Well this is our wish. Suck it up buttercup! Equivalent exchange hurts sometimes." Kyubey dipped his head again. "Very well. Let's get started."

Fern's POV

I gasped as Kyubey reached forward with his white ears, aiming for me first. I tried to flinch away but something kept me frozen to the ground. I tried to scream but my throat was parched, no sound came out. The ears kept coming closer and closer.

Before the ears plunged into me, I looked at Chelsea through the corners of my eyes. She was standing there, petrified, a look of horror on her face as the ears plunged into me, grabbing my soul and ripping it out successfully. She gave a dry sob then turned away, tears spilling down her face.

I tried to get up, to move, to comfort her and tell her that I was fine but my stupid body wouldn't respond. As soon as my soul was taken away, my body went limp and I well backwards...into oblivion.

Chelsea's POV

I couldn't do it anymore. All the confidence built up from the small talk we had with Kyubey had shattered as I watched the ears plunging into my best friend and ripping out her soul. I saw Fern look at me through the corner of her eyes but it was all too painful to watch.

I turned away, tears running down my face. Just when I thought I'd calmed myself, the ears approached me. I gave a dry sob as the ears reached out to me. I couldn't move, couldn't scream as the ears continued their quest.

Then, I remembered how brave Fern was, not even shedding a tear and was instantly ashamed of my own tears. I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes, welcoming the darkness as Kyubey claimed my soul for his own. I wouldn't give in. I wouldn't listen to that monster's orders. The wish would keep us both alive and well. We could protect the ones we loved and that was all that mattered. My body, frail and weak, fell to the ground with a dull thud as darkness washed over me.
