[In the outside world]

[The Kagamine house]

[Eight and Seven looked at each other, and then Seven shook his head, looking at Eight.]

...You first, squirt.

[And then, Seven chomped at the donut. Eight, in the meanwhile, had sighed a bit, too.]

- OK, first things first - You already know that Tomoe Mami and Sakura Kyoko now reside within Sakuya Miki's miniworld, right? And so you may think that things are all right for now, but quite frankly - They aren't.

[And then, Seven waved his paw, still holding the donut.]

...The mini world does slow down the Witching process, but in the end, it only produces even more powerful Witches - Or that's how things have usually worked anyway. It's already started to expell dark energies, which is good for the people inside, we suppose, but not at all good for the people living outside it. The dark energies usually head straight for the nearest Witch Barrier outside, energizing them and making them grow even faster then they would have.

[Rin nodded at that.]

...But wait - The bluehead herself hasn't shut herself up in her dreamworld, right? Wouldn't that slow down the Witchfication process even more?

[The two critters looked at each other.]

- Well, about that, you see...

"She's a fake" [Seven said casually, chomping on a donut]
"She must have conjured up a copy of herself to reside in the outside world, so her firends and family wouldn't worry" [Eight continued] "As for the real Sayaka, she's still in that world. And she's reach a sort of limit point, last we saw. She is transfromed about half way into a witch. But she still seems to have her mind and control of her witch side, and she lost a lot of power."
[Len nodded grimly] "...What about Miku?

[meanwhile, the copy sayaka looked down at the witch hugging her with surprise. Weren't witches hideous wicked monsters, not playful little girls? no, this had to be a trick of some kind!] "You don't fool me, witch!" [Sayaka raised her sword, about to strike the witch through]
[meanwhile in the dream world, Kyouko, Muching on her sandwich, nodded at Mami] "Yeah. I heard classmates talking about a mermaid spotted at the Kojiro river."
"Interesting... Ah, Bebe, hold still! Naughty girl, you alreayd got your new clothes dirty!"
"Think we should check it out?"

[The outside world - Kaganime household]

[Seven and Eight looked at each other, then, quizzically.]

Hatsune Miku's Witch is still in Miki Sayaka's mini-world, as far as we know?

[Eight said, while Seven sighed.]

...And dinna ask me what happened to her "soul core" thing, all right? We still have no idea where those things come from, or where they disappear to after living things die. So creepy!

[And then, Eight shuddered a bit.]

- And according to a rather strange female magic user I once met, even we Incubators have them, too. I have no idea what to think about that - I mean, what would a "soul core" thing even want to inhabit me, anyway?

[The outside world - Outside the school]

[The little Witch glibbered in Witch-speak at Sayaka, then, and jumped away.]

< You're no fun, Oneechan! >

- I don't wanna be any fun for you, you little -

[Copy Sayaka snarled - And then, she blinked.]

...Wait. You talk?

Edited 2015-12-21 06:32 (UTC)

[Len just sighed] "So, what are we going to do about that Kyubey? Just ignore him?"

[The witch just stuck her tongue out at the magical girl] "Meanie onee chan!"
[Strange, how could a witch talk normally? No wait, she was still speaking that witch language, but now Sayaka could understand it.... her thoughts were interrupted by the witch running over to play with the school girl turned ball] "Get away from her, witch!!" [Sayaka ran over and managed to slash the witche's arm]
"Owie!" [The witch sniffled, and started to cry. Her wails were extremely loud and reverbertaing, causing Sayaka to freeze up and cover her ears in pain form the noise]

[meanwhile in the dream world, ]
[Bebe pouted cutely in apology] "Im sorry, Mami nee chan..."
"It is all right, bebe. Just try to eat cleaner form now on." [Mami smiled and patted Bebe's pink head
Kyouko roleld her eyes] "Hey! you gonna answer me or what, Mami?"

[The outside world - Kagamine household]

...Ignoring him isn't going to work, but you're going to have to figure out how to work around his machinations, sure enough.

[Eight said, eventually, while Seven sighed.]

- Yeah, we haveta do that all the time. so buck up, OK?

[And then, they both looked at each other.]

...First things first, though - Number one, Miki Sayaka's Dream World. You're going to have to figure out what to do with it sooner or later, I think. We did think of trying to nab it, and bringing it over to someplace with less people, but - We're not sure leaving it someplace with no easy outlet for the dark energies to go too is a good idea either, you see...

[Outside the school]

[Copy Sayaka shook her head, then, and materialized some earplugs, sticking them in her ears.]

...Yeahhh - Much better!

[She snarled, and then tried to attack the Witch - Only to have her attacks hit the Witch, and fade away in sparklings!]

< Haaah? >

[The Witch stared at the sparkles, and then clapped her hands happily, as Copy Sayaka's mouth dropped open.]

< Do that again, Onee-chan! >

[Inside the dream world]

[Mami groaned, then, and looked at Kyoko.]

...A mermaid? The poor thing - To have to put up with ugly concrete covered river like that!

[Kyoko laughed, then.]

- Come on, let's go check it out - There's no way to know if it's a Dark Shadow or just one of the harmless ones unless we take a gander at it, right?

Edited 2015-12-23 07:19 (UTC)

( len frowned more at that) " and why us? Look no offense but we want nothing to do with this magical girl business."
"Yeah, ask one of those other girls!" ( rin pouted, crossing her arms) " besides we dont even really know this sayaka miki! So its none of our business!"
( len nodded again) " so, unless you can get kyubey to leave us alone, or to turn miku back to normal...)

( copy sayaka gritted and attacked ahain. She couldnt have gotten weak could she! Thr litle witch ran about giggling cheerfully,)

" very well." Mami replied, putting away her lunch
" right! Lets go then!" ( kyouko pumped her fist. even though she had a couple classes left for the day, and she lnew she shouldn't waste her scholarship, but she had to check thisout!)

[The outside world - Kagamine household]

[The two rouge Incubators looked at each other, then.]

...Rin? I do get your point, and we were planning to go and talk to some of the other girls too eventually, but - I don't think it is that simple, to be honest.

[Eight said with a sigh - And then, Seven nodded too.]

- Hey, Rin-girl? You do realized you've become a Magical Girl now, right?

[Rin stared at both of them, and then put her hand to her Soul Gem.]

...Wait a sec, damn it - I didn't make any Contract with any Incubator this time around, I'm sure of it!

[Eight and Seven looked at each other, then.]

...You're right. Hmmm, that is interesting, indeed.

[Eight said - And then, Seven waved a cream colored paw.]

- May we take a look at your Soul Gem?

[And outside the school...]

[Copy Sayaka groaned. All her attacks were just turning into harmless sparkles, as the Witch jumped around happily!]

< More! More! >

- Just cut it out, damn you!

[She said - Ball ! Shizuka was giving her sad looks as she was rolled about by the magical energies, but she had no idea what to do!]

[And that was when an idea struck her.]

...Hey, you!

[She said, and pointed a finger at the Witch.]

- Let's make a bargain. You turn Shizuka back, and I'll - I'll come play with you tommorow, too! What do you say?

[And inside Sayaka's mini world...]

[Mami bit her lip, then.]

...Oh, no - You should take your classes, Kyoko! I don't want your grades to go down - What if you lost your scholarship?

[And then, she smiled.]

- I'm sure the mermaid wouldn't disappear in a couple of hours... I do wish it was after school already, though!

[And then, both Mami and Kyoko blinked as the entire scene shifted. All of a sudden, it was after school, and they were both walking toward the school gates!]

...Did something strange happen just now?

[Mami said, hesitantly. Kyoko looked at her, and blinked.]

- Hey, you feel that way too? I have the feeling something really weird happened just now, but...I can't figure out for the life of me what it was!

[Rin hesitated, feeling frustrated, but eventually handed the gem to the incubators] "Hmph. Fine... And what do you mena, it;'s not that simple!"

[meanwhile,
The witch tilted her head curiously] "Hm? You will?"
"yes, I promise. As long as you turn Shizuka back, and promise not to curse anymore people." [Sayaka kneltdown to the witches leve, trying to smile kingdlyl] "Ok then?"
"Hmm..... ok then, onee chan!"[The witch clapped her hands, and Shizuka deflated back into her normal size and shape. Shizuka groaned and collapsed to the ground tiredly.]

[meanhwile]
"Hm. Stange. Ah well." [Mami shrugged.] "It was probably nothing." [They boarded the bus and headed to the Kojiro district to where the mermaid was said to have been spotted. There was actually a nice grassy area near the shore, so Mami had brought along a picnic while they were waiting. ]
"Hm. No sign of her yet..." [Kyouko murmured as she gazed over the water, searching for the mermaid]
"Are you sure this is where she was?" Mami questioned, sipping her tea
"Well, that's what they said!" [Kyouko sighed, a bit frustrated as she looked back at Mami. She did not notice a figure slink out of the water and grab the nearest sandwich. Bebe let out a yelp of surprise. Kyouko noticed out oof the corner of her eye and growled, grabbing the persons wrist] "Try to steal my food, will ya! I'll _" [She froze as she realized who it was. It was Sayaka. But her skin was now blue grayish, her eyes silver, fins on her ears and wrists, nd where her lower half shpould be was now a colorful mermaid tail] "...Sayaka? yiu're the mermaid?"
[Sayaka hissed at her, baring sharp teeth, and pulled away, splashign back into the water

[The outside world - The Kagamine household]

[Eight sighed a bit, then.]

What I meant, Rin, was that since you're a Puella Magi again, you really can't ignore what's going on in the Puella Magi society in general. What if Miki Sayaka's mini world ended up turning into the biggest Witch Barrier ever or something, for example?

[And then, he took a look at Rin's Soul Gem, and blinked.]

...Though on the other hand - This is quite interesting, indeed.

[He poked at the Soul Gem with his paw.]

- Hmm, the golden musical note is still there, but the D'aurich family crest is gone, it seems?

[And then, Seven shook his head.]

...No, it's not entirely gone - Look at the base of the music note, there's still a miniture version of the crest there. And look here...

[And then, the rogue Incubators put their furry heads together, mumbling.]

- How strange - I can't tell where those energy links are going to, at all. And look here - This doesn't look like a normal Soul Gem to me at all, to be frank...

[The outside world - Outside the school.]

[The little Witch grinned, then.]

< Okay, then, Nee-chan - Don't forget your promise! .

[And then, she bounced away and faded, just like that. Copy Sayaka stared at where the little Witch had been, and then she sighed, and bent down to Shizuka.]

...Hey, are you OK?

[Shizuka simply groaned, and then slumped over, closing her eyes. Copy Sayaka started for a moment, but then relaxed when she saw that Shizuka had started to snore a bit.]

- Hey, come on...

[She groaned, and then sat on the ground next to Shizuka, wondering what to tell her when she woke up - ]

[And then, she blinked as she caught sight of her Soul Gem. She de-transformed, and took it in her hand to look at it better.]

[Her Soul Gem was almost all clear, with just one small black spot to the side. Copy Sayaka stuck her nose next to the Soul Gem, trying to get a better look at it - And then, a small ball of dark energies popped out of her Soul Gem, and nearly hit her in the face as it floated away into the skies!]

...Ouch!

[Copy Sayaka muttered, shaking her head - And then, she stared at her Soul Gem again. Even the little black spot was gone, now, and her entire Soul Gem seemed serene and clean.]

[Inside Sayaka's mini-world]

[Sayaka-Oktavia looked up at them from inside the water, then, her mermaid ears twitching.]

< Mami-Candrelo. Kyoko-Ophelia. Hello, hello? >

[That were her friends names, right?]

"And what about that energy link connecting to Len?"
"Well their souls are connected in a way" [The roguen incubators continued examining
Rin pouted and curled onto Len] "I don't care... I don't wanna be involved..." [There was a shuffling as the twin's mother came into the room,still waking up. The twins paused, wondering what if she saw these two strange critters]

[Copy Sayaka blinked and stared.Was that normally supposed to happen? Well,, it was probably nothing... Now, what to do about Shizuka. She couldn't very well left her here, so Sayaka hoisted her up. shizuka finally awoke] "ah.. ah?! Where's that creepy littlle girl and those drawings! It was so scary! I was all fat and round and bouncing and sayaka san had a sword and_"
"Woah, that sounds like some dream, shizuka san!" [Sayaka chuckled]

[Kyouko was aghast and was frozen for a few moments, before they heard her speaking telepatically] "Sayaka..." [though what were candloro and ophelia? though they did sound familiar. Kyouko knelt closeer to the water while Sayaka Oktavia peeked her head out a bit cautiously

[The outside world - Kagamine household]

...You don't want to be involved in what, darling?

[Anabelle said, and sat down besides Rin on the bed. Len sighed a bit in relief, as it seemed like their mother couldn't see Eight and Seven at all, but then his brow furrowed as he realized that their mother had stepped around Eight and Seven even though her eyes had never focused on them.]

[Maybe she could feel them somehow, even though she couldn't quite see them properly?]

[Rin, in the meanwhile, had leaned agaist her mother, her eyes sad and tired.]

- Nothing. It's not important.

[And then, she closed her eyes.]

...I just want to close my eyes, and go back to sleep. I had such nice dreams, Mama - I was just a well to go commonor girl, and I had a mother and a twin brother who both loved me...

[The outside world - Outside the school]

...I was dreaming?

[Shizuka said, frowning. Copy Sayaka pasted on her best game face, and nodded.]

- Oh, yes - And you were drolling a bit too, I'm afraid, ha ha ha!

[Inside Sayaka's mini world]

[Sayaka - Oktavia smiled, then, and went closer to her friends.]

< Mami-Candrelo is still mostly Mami but becoming more Canderelo. Kyoko-Ophelia is still almost all Kyoko. >

[And then, she smiled.]

< But still friends! For ever and ever and ever! Right? >

[The twin's mother sighed and put her arms around Rin] "Oh darling. Of course you have a mother and twin brother who love you!"
[Rin sniffled and resteed her head] "I know..."
[her mother stroked her hair comfortingly] "Darling, is something wrong?"

[Meanwhile, Shizuka blinked and blushed a bit] "Oh. I see then. I don't recall falling asleep really, but,"
"Hey, it's cool, Shizuka san" [Sayaka patted her shoulder] "Anyway, let's head back to class now."
"Yes. All right, Sayaka san..."

[Kyouko frowned and kneelt down] "Sayaka, what the heck are ya talking about? What happened to you, why are you suddenly a mermaid now!"
[Sayaka Oktavia shrugged] "Because, I was meant to be a mermaid..."
"Well, this is strange. But you poor thing, being stuck in that dirty river!" [Mami sighed] "Come, let's go home and get you cleaned up. I'll make you a nice cup of tea"
"Good idea, Mami" [Kyouko hoisted the mermaid up in her arms] "Come on, Sayaka"

[The outside world - The Kagamine household]

[Rin sniffled, and leaned against her mother.]

...Everything and the kitchen sink is wrong, Mommy...

[She said, making herself sound childish at least halfway on purpose.]

[Annabelle chuckled, then, and gave her a hug.]

.....That's OK, darling. Everybody feels like that, sometimes. And with what happned today, and Miku-chan just - just disappearing like that...

[Rin sighed, then.]

- I don't think Miku's gonna be coming back, Mommy.

[Annabelle looked at her, and gave her a hug, then.]

...Maybe, maybe not - I mean, as your father used to say...

[And then, waved a finger at Rin, waiting for her to chime in.]

Sometimes, life throws an entire truckful of lemons at you. In that case, the first thing to do is duck and run, so the lemon barrels don't crush you flat. And then...

And then, you grab as many of those frigging lemons as you can, and go and make lemonade, and lemon cakes, and lemon salad dressings, and any other lemon-y thing that you can possibly think of. Nothing should be wasted - Especially lemons. You can make a fortune that way, OK?

[Rin chimed in - And then, she leaned against her mother, and hugged her tight.]

[The outside world - Outside the school]

[Copy Sayaka and Shizuka both returned to the school, then, only to discover that the school hours were long over, and the only people left there were the people doing club activities.]

...I missed more then half of school!?

[Shizuka said, disbelievingly, while Copy Sayaka sweatdropped.]

[Inside Sayaka's mini world]

[Sayaka Oktavia hummed happily as her friends carried her along. Oh, yes, her house was near here, right?]

[Mami and Kyoko, in the meanwhile, stopped dead as they turned the corner, and the place that was supposed to be Sayaka's house came into view.]

[Sayaka's home was there, all right - But right next to it was something that looked like a gigantic amusement park pool, and some of the sliders were actually curling all around the house!]

...Wheee! So it was true that your family won the lotto, Sayaka?

[Kyoko said eventually, while Mami just stared at the gigantic structure and sweatdropped. What the heck were Sayaka's parents thinking of, anyway?]

Edited 2016-01-04 06:38 (UTC)

"That's right, Rin darling" [Annabelle cooed, stroking her daughetr's hair lovoingly, then involving Len in the hug as well] "Listen, it's been a big night last night. You two can just relax today."
"Ok Mommy..."
"Now, who wnats breakfast!"

[Geez, that much time all ready?] "Shizuka chan! There you are!" [another class mate waved] "Where were you all this time!"
"I'm sorry Aya chan, I fell asleep at the gym! "
"Yes, she's fine now" [Copy Sayaka added] "Well, I'd better head back now" [hm, what could Kyousuke be up to now? No, she'd actually better train...]

[Sayaka Oktavia shrugged. Kyouko raised an eyebrow. How long ago was it that they won the lottery, and how did that big pool already get here? They brought the mermaid inside. As Mami went to make tea and snacks, Kyouko started filling the bath tub and pulled off the ragged remains of Sayaka Oktvia's shirt. ] "Ok, here we go." [She notcied the soul gem on her belly. It seemed different now, with a black casing and the jewel was a swirl of black and blue]

[The outside world]

[Both of the rogue Incubators looked at each other and sighed a bit, then, as they watched the Kagamine family hug.]

- Your mother is right, you two probably should take a break for now.

[Eight said, while Seven laughed.]

...You shouldn't think you've seen the last of us, though, 'cause we'll be back, I'm pretty sure. - Hasta la vista!

[And then, they both rolled under the sofa, softly sneezing as they crawled past the dust bunnies.]

- Really, though, Rin - Ya should clean under the bed once in a while. Aren't girls supposed to be the ones cleaning stuff all the time and everything?

[Seven said, giggling, and then both of the Incubators auras disappeared. Rin looked at Len, and nodded at him - Yes, they would have to talk about this later, she was pretty sure...]

[And in the meanwhile, Copy Sayaka was looking around for a place to transform and train in peace. It was pretty worrying that that Witch had just shrugged off her attacks like that, she did have to admit.]

[And that was when her mobile phone rang. Copy Sayaka blinked, and fished her phone out of her school bag, wondering who was calling her now.]

[Inside Sayaka's mini world]

[Kyoko poked Sayaka Oktavia's Soul Gem with a grin, then.]

...Hey, Sayaka! Did you notice that your Soul Gem looks a bit different, now? It's still pretty, but it's got black swirls inside it!

[Sayaka Oktavia blew some bubbles at her, then, grinning.]

< I know, I know! >

[And then, she pointed at Kyoko's Soul Gem.]

< And now, you're starting to get them, too! >

( copy sayaka looked down at the phome to see who was calling her. It was from homura. Sayaka gave a small sugh of annoyance and answered ) " hello. What do you want."
" sayaka miki. We need to talk."
( sayaka sighed) " about what."
" important things. We can discuss it over a witch hunt. You may keep the grief seed"
( sayaka considered it)

( kyouko frowned and looked down at her soul gem ring) " how can you tell? Lookes fine to me"
( sayaka oktavia just chuckled mysteriously and blew more bubbles. Kyouko sighed and becan scrubbing her scaly mermaid skin with a sponge) "whatever. Les get you clean"
( meanwhile mami was maling tea and cakrs, thinking about what was going on. Oh how strange. Sometimes she thought it would be nice to have a never ending tea party with friends... She looked over at bebe playing with a tea cozy, butterfly in her garden and miss idol in her television)

[The outside world]

...OK, then - I was planning to go talk to you some day or another, anyway. We're probably shorthanded in this area in either case, right?

[Copy Sayaka said eventually, as she decided to take Homura's offer. Two powerful and experience Magical Girls had disappeared all of a sudden after all, and...]

[Copy Sayaka wondered what Mami and Kyoko were doing now - And then, all of a sudden, her mind took a sudden left turn, and she found herself looking at the phone. What in the world had she been thinking of, anyway?]

Um, OK. So where do we meet?

[Homura looked at her phone, and then looked at a part of the city that was filled with half built and abandoned buildings. The ecomonic downturn hadn't been good for Mitakihara either, after all.]

[And then, she told the other girl where to go, and put her phone away.]

[In Sayaka's mini world]

[And then, Miss Idol waved at them from inside her TV set. Mami smiled at her, and poared her a cup of tea. She then got a small tray out, and put the tea cup on a saucer and a plate with some cookies on it.]

- Here I go, then, Miss Idol!

[Mami said, grinning - And then, she pushed the tray right toward the TV set. Miss Idol clapped her hands in delight as the tray appeared right in front of her.]

...Ohhh, thank you, Lady Mami-Candeloro!

[Then she realized she should let her friends know she couldn't join them , after all Madoka had left her messeges hoping she was ok, so she texted then telling them that she still had things to take care of. After that, she headed off to where Homura would meet here. There would probably be witches in that sort of area anyway.]

meanwhile]
"You are welcome, Miss Idol." [Mami didn't realize at the moment why she called her Candleoro, or that she could understand the stange language.
[After scrubbing sayaka Oktavia clean,, drying her off and dressing her in a clean shirt, and blushing a bit as she realized that sayaka oktavia wasn't wearing underwear, not that mermaids needed that, Kyoko carried the mermaid out to the living room and placed her on the couch.
Mami came out brightly with a tray of yummy looking tea and treats] "Here we are!"
"Thank you!" [Sayaka oktavia grabbed it hungrily]

[Inside Sayaka's Mini-World]

[Mami-Candelero - and yes, that name felt right, now - smiled happily, then, as she saw all her friends gathered around her.]

...This is good and comfortable.

[She said, as she poared Sayaka-Oktavia tea, and pushed the plate of cakes toward her.]

- If only life could be like this, all the time. Happy friends, and tasty tea and cakes...

[The black stripes floated through her Soul Gem, then, lazily and prettily. Mami's Soul Gem was slowly changing it's shape, becoming slightly more like a Grief Seed...]

[And that was when there was a cough, and the TV screen buzzed!]

[Miss Idol blinked as a purple something pushed it's way past her stage-room inside the TV set, and waved at the other girls outside.]

< ...Young Ones! It is good to see more younger sisters who are serene and happy, indeed! >

[The thing that was trying to talk to them looked like a happy cartoon ladybug. Sayaka-Oktavia grinned at the TV screen, and waved her hands. So did Mami-Candeloro, while the little Witches ooh'd and ahh'd.]

[Kyoko, in the meanwhile, was just staring at the TV screen.]

< And now, I bring an invitation from the Walpugis Queen herself! Yes-yes?>

[In the outside world]

[Copy Sayaka looked around the abandoned buildings with a grin.]

...All right, then, transfer student - I'm here!

[Homura, in the meanwhile, was raising her eyebrows at her from her perch on a nearby building.]

- There is something strange about your aura, Miki Sayaka, though I'm not sure what it is. Has anything strange happened to you, recently?

[Sayaka's aura felt somewhat, well, flat, for lack of a better word. It didn't feel like it was contaminated or anything like that, quite the contrary, but...]

Edited 2016-01-11 06:31 (UTC)

[Mami Candleoror perked up more at that] "Oh really? Please do tell?"
[the ladybug bounced cheerfully, still smiling] "you are cordially invited to the walpurgis festival and the queen's arrival and celebration at the end of the month!"
[The mini witches cheered at that. Their queen was coming!]
"Ah, we would love to!" [Mami candloro clapped her hands] "Shall I help with the party?"
[At the mention of the queen and the festival, something felt bothered in Kyouko and the remainder of Sayaka in Sayaka Oktavia. Was this fetival, a good thing? Something was upcoming? What was it...]

[meanwhile]
[Copy Sayaka frowned at this remark and crossed er arms] "You mean aside from me being a magical girl and madng the contract?"
[Homura shook her head] "It has been ever since last night." [Did Sayaka even remember Miku Hatsune's transformation last night? Did any of the girls? And, Mami and Kyouko were still nowhere to be seen,,

[Inside Sayaka's Mini World]

[Mami-Candeloro blinked, then. The end of the month? She did have the vague feeling that that was important, but...]

- But wait - Something special is going to happen at this festival, correct? What is it?

[The ladybug Witch smiled happily, then.]

< Oh, yes - At long last, our time has come! Our Lady has been gathering energies for ages and ages, but now, at long last, we have enough to turn the entire world into a paradise!>

[And then, she smiled again, and blinked her eyes.]

< None of us will ever have to lose our minds or our words again! And we will live for ever and ever, then, happily ever after. Oh, you are so lucky to be alive at this moment, Young Ones - For from now on, none of us will be trapped in our own Nightmares, ever again! >

[In the outside world]

[Homura sighed, then, and rubbed her eyes. No, the Miki Sayaka in front of her was not a plastic figure pretending to be a real girl, what the hell was her idiot subconcious trying to tell her, anyway?]

...Do you even remember what happened last night, Miki Sayaka?

[Mami Candloro and Sayaka Oktavia's eyes shone at that] "That sounds wonderful!"
"Yeah, it's, great" [Kyouko paused. This didn't sound right...]
"Indeed!" [the ladybug witch nodded at sayaka oktavia.] "you've made a nice start, mermaid sister!" [she nodded then to mami candleoro] "And thank you for cheering up our rose sister, our box idol sister, and of course our little sweet sister!" [the ladybug blinked and smiled some more] " Ah yes, also at the celebration, our lady shall pass the crown to our next queen! With a kind and pure soul, she will be the one who create our paradise!"
"Oh? Who is it?" [Kyouko asked, still doubtful, though somehting subconciously was trying to tell her otherwise]
"Ypu'll find out soon enough." [the ladybug witch giggled] "Of course, you still have a while to go before the transition, you stubborn silly! Hurry up, you're missing the fun!"

[Copy Sayaka blinked and still ffrowned] "Well yeah. A witch attacked at the concert, of course!"
"And do you emember who the witch was?"
"It was some doll hiding inside a magic tv." [They defeated her, right?"

[Inside Sayaka's Mini World]

< But now, I have to go, for I have miles to go and many other Young Ones to talk to before I sleep! - See you later at the Ball, Young Ones! >

[The ladybug Witch said, and then disappeared back into the TV set, waving all the while. Miss Idol waved at her again as she danced through the stage area and left behind the curtains.]

...I'm missing the what, now?

[Kyoko sighed, and then turned toward Sayaka-Oktavia, who flipped a fish tail lazily at her. Kyoko sighed again, and then started to wipe at Sayaka-Okvatia's hair and fish scales with a towel, talking all the while.]

- You know, Sayaka - I keep having this weird feeling that something really strange is happening right before my eyes, but I can't figure out what it is. It's like I'm trapped in a Wonderland or something, except that this Wonderland seems to be much nicer then the one Alice was tossed into, ha ha ha -

[In the outside world]

[Homura sighed, then - It wasn't like she hadn't already figured out that something even stranger then usual seemed to have happened yesterday, but...]

[...Oh, well, at least Madoka was safe for the moment, anyway. Or so Homura hoped.]

...Fine, fine. Alright, then, Miki Sayaka - Could you try transforming in front of me, so I can get a good look at your aura while you're doing it?

[And then, Homura paused.]

- No, wait. Miki Sayaka - Have you transformed at all, after what happened last night?

[Copy Sayaka paused, then.]

...I did, and I fought a really weird Witch today, but...

[And then, she made a face. She didn't want to mention what had happened, to be frank - It really was sort of embarrassing.]

< What could be strange or bad? > [Saykaa Okatvua murmured, stretching] "Everything is well...."
"You sure everything, then how did you end up a mermaid for some reason? finding you in the river! We thought you were aat that fancy music school!" [Kyouko frowned] "N=And you're being so, nonchalant about it!"
[Tere was a hissing noise and a whisp of darkness as the spare grief seeds Mami had finally woke up, releasing several more witches. Mami Candleoro smiled at that] "Ah, more friends! Welcome!

[meanwhiel]
"But?" [Homura raised an eyebrow.
Copy Sayaka shook her head, flustered ] "It's none of your business, transfer student!" [suddenly their soul gems started blinking as they sensed a witch nearby] "Never mind that! I'm going after the witch!" [She transformed and ran off, skimming the consturction work]

[Inside Sayaka's Mini World]

[Sayaka-Oktavia looked at Kyoko, and blinked.]

< But I'm at the Academy too, when I feel like it? And so is Kyosuke!>

[Mami-Candeloro nodded at that.]

The Academy doesn't have any rules against mermaids and sirens joining up, correct? I mean, it would be really strange if they did - Sirens are tranditionally considered to be one of the best singers, after all!

[Kyoko sighed, then, as several more little Witches came into the room and plopped themselves right next to the sofa.]

< We're hungry! Feed usss! >

[A little one that looked like a tiny little painter doll piped up.]

[Mami grinned, then, and started to poar more tea for the newcomers.]

...Yes, of course!

[And then, Kyoko groaned.]

- Something's still weird, though - I can feel it in my bones!

[The outside world]

[Homura sighed, then, as she felt Sayaka transform.]

...Why in the world are your power levels so low? And your aura -

[The bluehead's aura was clean as a whistle, but also as flat as a board. It really was strange, Homura thought - It was like somebody had exchanged a beautiful big opal with a big blue plastic imitation or something!]
