Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa is shaking Aki Kurosawa. Aki is a girl that has slightly darker blonde hair than Haruna- keeps it shorter and wears some sort of plastic wave clip in her hair. She is dressed in the Infinity Uniform. She is currently being shaken by Haruna at the shoulders. "Everything needs to be perfect! It was a mess the last time she was here!" complains.

Corvus (Also now conspicously a seagull but also still recognizeable as Corvus somehow) is playing a game on the computer that seems to be a silly browser based MMORPG F2P deal and largely ignoring the chaos of the Kurosawa sister around him today. He takes a sip from a local gas station chains big sippy cup.

"Hey now..." says Aki. "I'm sure everything will be fine!" she smiles. "Why are you so worried anyways? I've met lots of your magical friends already, right? so----"

Haruna grips Aki and tugs her in. "She isn't magical! She's like... normal!" she beams. Aki blinks blinks and blinks. "...oh! Well. Uh. That's nice! But..normal is a strong word Haruna.." she mutters.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" says Haruna worriedly.

Aki sighs. "Right. So. Does she know?". Haruna keeps a finger pointed skyward as she lowers it down at Aki. "That's right she does! BECAUSE CORVUS HAS A BIG MOUTH!" she says, finger suddenly pointing Corvus.

"Keep me out of this!" complains Corvus. Aki sighhhhhs. "Fine, let's...get this over with how much does she know?"

"That I'm a Pretty Cure! And my identity! and that's it. Cuz. I abused it...."

"...to get a cake one day...."

"...that I lef....." Aki just raises her hand exasperatedly again. "Wow, you are like the /worse/ at identity keeping." she says. "Fine...when is she coming over here?"

"Any minute now!" says Haruna happily!

Aki looks around. "This place looks like a torando ran through it!"

"I KNOW HURRY!"

So they do! Rush rush rush rush clean.

Madoka should be arriving any moment now.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Visiting friends who live in the school dorm is fairly simple. It usually means that all Madoka would have to do is go up to the correct floor after classes and knock on right door. That isn't so much the case today, not because Haruna's dorm is especially out of the way, but because Aki had recently been rescued and had thus only just moved into the dorm herself. Which meant she needed a housewarming gift.

    Okay, so maybe she didn't -need- one, but Madoka wanted to get something for her, especially since to her knowledge any parties intended to be thrown for her return hadn't actually happened. Or maybe Madoka herself just hadn't gotten the memo?

    Regardless she had to run off to the mall to get something before returning to Infinity, and thus she arrives having given Haruna at least a little time to get things in order. A soft knock comes from the other side of the door and any peeking done through peep holes in the door one would see Madoka standing there patiently holding a package wrapped in yellow paper and a pretty red bow tied around it.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
There is pretty much a rush of 'Wind and Water' throughout the dorm as things get cleaned. It gets to 'acceptable' just in time for the knock to come! "That's her!" exclaims Haruna.

There were no major return parties. Haruna /demanded/ a cake before she went to save her sister- but that was mostly under stress and duress. Really, Haruna just wanted to collapse and dissapear with her sister for a week and just talk her ear off and she did that.

Haruna answers the door and smiles. "Madoka-chan!" she says as she offers a hug before accepting the gift politely- she doesn't pull it out of her hands at least. She bows poltiely. "Thank you, come inside." she says as she politely leads Madoka inside this time instead of dragging her in like last time.

Corvus waves from his spot sat on the desk in front of the computer keyboard. His F2P browser game character appears to be level 63 right now. "Hello Madoka." he says.

Aki peeks at Madoka and head tilts before smiling, and offering a wave. "Hello.... Madoka...?" she says. She looks at Haruna inquisitivly. Haruna blinks before blushing and hurrying over and whispering something into her ear. "Ah- Kaname. Hello! I'm Aki Kurosawa!" she says with a soft bow. She seems more reserved at least. Haruna shoves the gift into Aki's hands. "You get to open it!" she says.

Aki looks down at the gift with a sweatdrop and politely sits down to begin opening it. "Madoka, this is Aki, this is my sister!" she beams.

Aki politely speaks up. "So I heard my sister doesn't keep secrets very well." she says with a tsk. "Does she know about me, too?" she asks.

Haruna answers innocently. "Know what?" you can practically see the halo form.

Aki rolls her eyes. "I'm a Pretty Cure too. Since, I know you know Haruna's secret." she smirks over at Madoka. "Together-- we are........"

Haruna begins giving Aki a glare...

"Passionate Rush Precure!" she says dramatically.

Haruna throws her head back and forehead smacks. "That's not even a little cool sounding!" she complains.

Haruna looks back at Madoka. "We're still working out the team name." she asides. "Any ideas?" she asks. "Aki's kinda stink."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka smiles happily as the door is opened for her, "Hi, Haruna-chan!" She accepts the hug warmly before offering over the gift she brought, "This is for your sister. It's just a little housewarming thing, nothing much." As she steps inside she peeks around a little, seeing the results of Haruna's rearranging of all the furniture to be able to accommodate two people. She looks impressed!

    She also notices Corvus over at the computer and can't help bug giggle a little at how much of a gamer the bird has become. She feels sorry for the people who compete with him- not having to sleep or go to school is a big advantage! "Hi, Corvus," she says while sending the now-Fairy a friendly wave, "You got a makeover!"

    Then she's giving a ever so slightly shier smile to Aki, and even after Haruna offers her name she bows politely, "Madoka Kaname, 8th grade! You can call me Madoka, if you like." Then, realizing something that the two of them have a bit in common she adds, "I transferred into Infinity just before the end of the first term; my family had was just returning from overseas after we moved there for my mothers work for a few years." She's fairly new to the school, too! A soft giggle, "The classes here are very hard!"

    Then a motion towards the gift, "Yes, you should open it!" If she does she'll find a square wooden framed ceramic tile of about nine inches on each side. It's been painted with the scene of some unknown ocean beach, the tide high with waves rolling in. Far out in the water there's a tiny sailboat, and a few seagulls are up circling in the sky. It's a nice piece and well done, but also doesn't excessively expensive or anything. The frame has a wire attached to it so it could be mounted to a wall somewhere, or set on a shelf near the wall and leaned.

    "I hope you like it," Madoka offers with a smile. At the announcement of the team name the ping haired girl lifts her hand to her mouth as she giggles, more at Haruna's overreaction and complaining than the name itself. Then a look of minor surprise as she's asked for ideas. "Me? Um... well, what is your Magical Girl name, Aki-san?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Aki peeks at the picture and stares at it for a bit, before smiling. "This is wonderful. Thank you." she says warmly. "I am... going to find a place for this right now." she says standing up and walking to a small cupboard in the corner as she opens it.. "Where are the tacks..." she says.

Haruna beams! "Aki is new to Infinity, yes! She was at Mitakihara but uh--um...." she sort of fumbles. "Well you know.. that already... at least, you know the story in the news." she says with a smile. The offical news story was something like 'Former Mitakihara student belived dead in fire found alive after being in two year coma.'. So probably something to do with that.

Aki find a long tack and hangs the picture carefully, stepping back and smiling. It's hung somewhere over the computer. "Cure Tide!" she says. "I'm Tide. She's Gull." she says pointing at Haruna. "Do you get the theme?" she winks. "So the picture really suits me at least... the beach is.. my special spot. You know? Haruna's too." she says as she sits down.

"Hopeful Wave Precure!" she suddenly points at Haruna. Haruna groans. "That's horrible!" she says. "And--why does it need to end in Precure!?" she says.

"Because that's how all the /best/ Pretty Cure teams end thier names!" she insists. "Also, we need.. a henshin phrase...."

"....surging with elation... rising elevation...!..... HOPEFUL WAVE PRECURE!" she says.

Haruna siggggggghs and rubs down her face.

"Isn't..the whole little intro thing we're forced to do like enough!?" she says.

"Nope!" insists Aki.

Haruna sort of deflates. "Anyways..." Haruna says. She smiles. "Thank you for the gift Madoka-chan~" she says. Then she leans forward.

"So...." she says. Eyes wide a little.. a little glistening. "How did things go with that boy you almost kissed at the dance!? Did you follow up!?" she asks.

Aki eyes go wide. "Haruna...! Seriously!? You can't just ask that!" she says.

Haruna turns to face Aki. "Why not!?" she says.

Aki bites her tounge for a moment.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    "You're welcome!" Madoka replies, seeming to be very happy that her gift was appreciated. It's obviously not faked too otherwise the girl wouldn't be hanging it up on the wall. "Ohh," she sounds lightly when told that the beach is a special spot for the both of them. "I'm really glad I picked that one." With a soft blush she adds, "I almost got you one that had kittens playing on it." Because who wouldn't love adorable playing kittens? "I just thought this one was really pretty... and seagulls!"

    She also nods a little to the story that had been in the news. It had been quite a shock to her when she came back to find her old school had burned down, and hearing that people had died made her sad. But at least one of those was now alive and well, so she puts on a smile!

    The two sisters talk back and forth about team names and henshin phrases and Madoka can't help but giggle some more. She looks between the two with a bright smile on her face. And unfortunately for poor Haruna she seems to be agreeing with her older(now younger?!) sister. "Well if you want my opinion... Ocean Spray Precure," she chirps in a playful tone. She looks upwards for a few moments since henshin phrases are mentioned.

    She does a little pantomime of poses, "Splashing on the sand, giving a helping hand, Ocean Spray Precure!" She laughs at herself while smiling to both of them. Yes, she's very into the whole flashy magical girl thing. It probably has something to do with the fact she's started hanging around Mami Tomoe recently.

    Then things turn ~serious~ as Haruna ask about the boy she danced with. Her face turns slightly red as she blushes, "Um! Well, I did follow up and Takashi-kun and I are dating now!" Even more blushing! But it's the happy embarrassed kind rather then the squirmy uncomfortable kind.

    Also if the girls look closely she is wearing a necklace now, though whether it's simple or elaborate is hard to tell since it's worn under her shirt. The gold chain is visible around her neck though.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Aki thinks about this one, all but forgetting being upset at Haruna for the moment..."Ocean Spray Precure... that could work...nrg...I'll think about it."

Haruna whines. "I'm right here too and I'm a team mate too so i get to vote too!" she complains! "Maybe...." Aki says. "No Maybes!" Haruna says. Corvus chimes in as the game says he is now Level 65. "Aki's the veteran. She gets to decide!" he says. "I'm pretty sure that's how these things work." he says.

Haruna hrmphs and crosses her arms in pure sass- but really, she can't be upset at Aki forever because she was also without her for two years and lord there are /way/ more stupider things to argue with a sister over than this.

She peeks back at Madoka and her eyes light up brighter. "That's great Madoka!" she beams! She does peek at the necklace though- she doesn't inquire about it. If Madoka wanted it showing off, she'd had worn it as such. "If you need any advice or someone to talk to about it, I'm here!" she wags her finger a bit as if she knew anything about this.

"Yeah, like you're the expert on dating miss 'hide from boys forever'." Aki says. Haruna stamps her foot. "That was two years ago!" she cries.

Aki merely grins, Haruna turns back to Madoka.

Corvus decides he's had enough of the one sided conversation. "Madoka-chan, ask Haruna about her and Hannah-chan! Ask her how that's going!" he says. He's clicking the mouse madly somehow despite having wings.

Aki merely grins coyly now. Haruna just blushes wide. "You jerk!" she says at Corvus.

"I was asking Madoka-chan about her new boyfriend and you are trying to make this about me!" she blushes fiercely.

Aki adds. "And Hannah-chan." she says.

Haruna whinnnnnnnnes.

"Fine it's true!" she says looking back at Madoka. "I and Hannah-chan are dating and we're super adorable together!" she insists. "I made us matching hairclips and everyth-----! OH! The Hairclips....!" she begins to suddenly take off towards her dresser suddenly. Well. That changed quickly.

Aki and Corvus have a small giggle fit together.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka doesn't know much about how Precure teams operate but when she thinks about Mami for a moment she realizes that it probably is the veteran who makes those kinds of important decisions. Still, it wouldn't be very nice if she didn't pay any attention at all to her sisters input. She's not about to butt into the actual argument, though.

    On the other hand she looks over to Corvus when he speaks and can't help but gasp, "Two levels already?"

    She's blushing more as her romantic life garners her a cheer, though she squirms shyly for a moment when she notices that eyes are no the necklace. Since it isn't asked about she doesn't make to show it off- it's not that she doesn't like it... but it's embarrassingly nice! She also makes a little giggle before nodding, "I'll keep that in mind, Haruna-chan!"

    She's caught pretty off guard when she Corvus casually mentions that Haruna is dating Hannah. "You are?!" It's obviously a look of complete surprise for a few moments, but then she smiles. "I'm really happy for you, Haruna-chan! I guess that means things didn't work out with your 'smoldering hot jerk'."

    Oh, right, the two hadn't talked since Haruna was about to go on that date. No wonder she was so surprised! Though when she thinks about it a moment it makes a little bit of sense. Hannah did care about her enough to go help her rescue her sister, right?

    She blinks a little as Haruna rushes off at her own mention of hairclips and she looks between the giggling girl and bird as if curious for an explanation. Then after a moment she steps a little closer to Aki. "I'm really happy to hear that you were rescued safely, Aki-san. I know you have Haruna-chan, and maybe you don't need it, but if you want help adjusting back to things or just want someone to talk to you can ask me. It's not really the same as with you, but I also know a about what it's like to come back and have everything be just a little bit different."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Aki looks at Madoka with a little hopeful smile. "I honestly don't even remember anything." she says. "I left to go help a friend setting up a dance. Something happened, I did my best to help but overdid it. I woke up with my sister looking a little older and I'd been misplaced two years." she says quietly, peeking over to the farside of the room as Haruna digs through the dresser, she's still looking.

"Honestly..." she smiles. "Haruna was a little shy...and quiet... and very introverted. I wondered if she'd ever find a way to make a friend besides me--and.. I wake up. She has--all sorts of friends and I can never shut her up when she gets talking now, and she was a Pretty Cure, too--and--all I ever wanted was to be a team with my sister." so she takes Madoka's hand. "If you want to help me Madoka..." she says with a genuine smile.

"Find a way to shut my sister up. Please." she says with a caring, but playful smile- somehow keeping a straight face. Corvus begins giggling again. "But more seriously..." she says. "Thanks for being Haruna's friend. She can be a little odd, right?" she asks.

Haruna ah-has! from across the room and comes back, having heard /nothing/ of that conversation, but can hear Corvus giggling. She purses her lips.

Aki raises a brow. "Smoldering hot jerk?"

Haruna blushes fiercely. "Erm------"

Aki squints.

Haruna groans. "There was... a guy... I met... when I.. you know.. the.. witch thing and... he was kinda... hot and-- and... uhm... he's kind of a dark jerk and--- does bad things but he was still hot so I went out on a date anyways even though I knew it was going to end horrible and I really should had just lept at Hannah-chan like I wanted...."

Aki sort of smacks her forehead in disbelief. "Ugh I swear to god. I am going to actually die because my sister makes terribly bad romantic decisions and I can't even belive it." she says.

Haruna manages to compose herself as she holds up a hairclip! It looks like hers, except the feathers are dyed pink and trimings are pink and white. The feathers are a little shorter, but all mostly the same length and arranged in a fan. "I'm making hairclips! I got some in Natt's House and Minami Mart is selling them too because Aki works there now! Um... I made this one for you. It's.. nothing special. I mean... um. I made it! It's special because it's unqiue for you!-and... you don't need to wear it, but I want you to have it, anyways. If anything, you can give it to someone else, right? That's okay if you do!" she says with a smile.

"I'm making all my friends one, really. Just...I put... a lot of work into Hannah-chan's...I don't want you to think this one is less special.." she admits.

Aki nods. "She did. She spent like two days on Hannah's. The others she churns out like crazy!"

Haruna beams! "I work really hard! I think they look cute! Aki gave me the idea of making them for sale..." she says.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka looks slightly sad when Aki tells her about getting losing two years worth of time, but hearing that she's getting what she always wanted, being in a Precure team with her sister is more than enough to cheer her up. "Then... even if it took some bad things to make it happen, I'm glad your dream is coming true, Aki-san!"

    Her hand is taken, Madoka not resisting this at all, and she's asked an odd question. She flushes a little and stifles a giggle even as Corvus lets his out, only to nod softly. "That's not something you have to thank me for, Aki-san. I'm really very happy to make friends. And I think all of my friends are a little odd, in their own ways. But you're welcome."

    When Haruna comes over to her and gives her the hairclip she accepts it and looks it over carefully, "You made this, Haruna-chan? It's very nice!" And it's even made of feathers dyed her favorite color. "I like it. Thank you!" She then gives a small shake of her head, "I'm not going to give it away. I'll keep it so that whenever I look of it I'll think of you, Haruna-chan." And since she doesn't want to crumple it reaches up and puts it in her hair for safe keeping, right in front of her left pigtail.

    She listens as Haruna explains about the guy she asked on the date to her sister, laughing a little at the reaction it gets. Then with a smile she suggests, "If you're worried about the kinds of decisions she's making, maybe you could find someone to date and teach her how to make good decisions by example?"

    Is Madoka teasing them?! Well, the room does have kind of a playful, teasing atmosphere when it comes to dating things, doesn't it?

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Aki smiles. "There was a guy I was dating! But.... it's been two years and kinda being "dead" (You can feel the airquotes!) puts a whole dampner on that and all and really---I'm not too torn up about it. I'm in no rush." she asides. "Unlike my sister who immediatly freaks out when Hannah went and did a thing recently and she totally broke into her apartment and cooked her an incredibly large amount of this American thing called 'Brunswick Stew'." she mutters.

Haruna crosses her arms. "You're being really silly! I did no such thing!" she says.

"Look, Haruna, I have all the text messages right here!" she says holding up Haruna's phone. Haruna BLUSHES fiercely and snatches that away before Madoka can read or touch it. "That's mine! Fine--I admit it! I got a little worried okay!?" she says. "And.. cooked stew...for weeks.. like... I bet. Hannah-chan. Is so sick of that stew right now." she says crossing her arms and looking grumpy now.

Aki giggles and pats Madoka on the shoulder. "Okay Haruna ain't gonna ask so I am." she says to Madoka. "That necklace. That /has/ to be a gift. Let's see it!"

Haruna does peek back at the necklace. She does blush. "Well..um. I was trying to be polite but..." she mutters.

"Can we see it Madoka? I'm curious too now actually.." she says. "..is it just a gold chain or...?" she asks, peeking.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    "Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that. It must be very hard for you, to come back after so long and for all your friends to have thought you died. Even a boyfriend..." That seems to make her a little sad even though Aki says it doesn't bother her much. After a moment she adds quietly, "It was probably very hard for them too, losing a friend like that..."

    As the two go back and forth over cooking a lot of food for Hannah she perks back up a little. "I don't think that's a bad thing. It just means that Haruna-chan cares about Hannah-chan very much, and going over to cook for her is a nice way to show that as well as saying it."

    She's polite enough not to look at the messages on the phone when Aki tries to show her, mainly because of the way Haruna reacts to it. She also ponders for a moment and adds, "Also, Hannah-chan gets herself into a lot of trouble." A soft sigh and she looks down, shaking her head slightly. She's seen the medical records. They're a little terrifying. "So if Haruna-chan worries about her more than someone else, you should probably forgive her for it."

    The necklace is brought up by Aki and Madoka hops in place and lets out a surprised eek. They noticed! Well, she shouldn't be too surprised. The pink haired girl takes in and lets out a breath. She actually has to calm herself because geeze, Takashi.

    She reaches under her shirt and pulls the necklace out so it's resting on her upper chest, outside of her school jacket. "Takashi-kun, the boy I'm dating, gave this to me for Christmas. He can be very bold." She holds her hands together behind her back and shifts embarrassedly on her feet.

    It's a set of three pink emeralds dangling down from the chain. The two are a small round gem with a very large, exquisite and no doubt ludicrously expensive teardrop shaped gem beneath it that catches light and glitters gorgeously. Below these, dangling a little further, is a much smaller but still top quality round cut gem. All three are placed in gold settings.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa looks at the large, expensive gems with awe. Aki looks impressed, but less awed. Aki is more jaded to a degree probably to things while Haruna is more 'new' to these things. So the responses are different enough. "That looks so pretty and---expensive!" she says.

Aki laughs. "That's an understatement. I can see why you hide it, I'd be a little weirded out...."

Haruna sighhhhs. "I wouldn't...if... Hannah-chan bought me a pretty ring---I'd wear it and show it to /everybody!/." she says. Aki rolls her eyes. "Yeah of course /you/ would." she smirks at Haruna.

Aki peeks back at Madoka and smiles. "I know Haruna-chan cares a lot for Hannah. Even if I don't quite approve of her for various reasons." she admits. "She makes Haruna happy and that's kind of all I could really ask for in the end."

MEANWHILE, Corvus whistles bird-like. "Now I know what to tell Hannah-chan to get you for Christmas if she asks me~" he says.

Haruna huffs! "You better not! Bes-besides I still need to get her a gift first..." she crosses her arms and huffs. "..it /needs/ to be special right now..." she says pleadingly.

Corvus nods. "Yeah, we'll figure something out. I'mma ask Hannah's pup next Poker night." he says.

Haruna looks back toward's Madoka. "Takashi-san must care a lot about you if he's willing to spend so much on you, Madoka! I hope you two are really happy together! You need to send me a picture sometimes! I bet you two are super cute together!" she says.

Aki taps her chin and pulls out her paystub from her first two weeks at Minami Mart. "Hey... Haruna... how much does Hannah-chan pay you for workin for her?" she asks.

Haruna blushes and looks back at Madoka and then back at Aki. "Um. Just... a moment..." she scampers on towards Aki and whispers something which causes Aki to rip her paystub in two on pure shock alone. "Pfff---what!?"

"...that's why I whispered it. Also. I work super hard you know and it's dangerous and stuff!"

"A-anyways It's enough to get Hannah-chan something super special! And---- you something super special too Aki! Because.... I have you back this Christmas! And--"

Haruna turns to Madoka and blushes. "Erm--sorry I almost got...really sappy right there..." she looks down.

Aki nods matter of factly. "Well don't you worry, I know /exactly/ what I'm getting you...." she pauses.

"Wait..."

"No I don't."

"I knew like two years ago and sometimes I forget that."

"Darn!" mutters Aki.

"Cookbooks!" she finally says. "And-----"

"A Proper portable stovetop instead of a hotplate so you can cook some real food!" she says. "So you can practice for Hannah-chan!" she insists.

"There!"

Haruna huffs! "It's no fun when I knooooow!" she says. She turns to Madoka. "Don't you think so, Madoka-chan!?" she says.

"A-anyways!---" she repeats again. "I think I'm hungry and I am not cooking for Madoka on a hotplate so we are going out and it is going to be my treat!" she says grabbing both girls and looping her arms underneath thiers suddenly. "Corvus, lock the door behind us, okay!?" she says.

Corvus gives a little wave! "Sure. Bring me back a burger~"

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka closes her eyes and fidgets with her hands behind her back when the other two girls examine her necklace. Even though she's trying she can't help but blush a lot, especially when Aki mentions that she'd feel weird receiving such an expensive gift. "I know. It really is extravagant, isn't it? But... it's a little different when you know Takashi-kun."

    She opens her eyes back up and tilts her head slightly, "He's the type of person who wants to do the best at everything. He got the highest test scores in the school for the first term, and he has already has a job." Though that might not be as impressive to Haruna and Aki- they both have jobs too! "I think this is the same way... he wants to get me the best and most wonderful present he can find, even if something small would do."

    Suddenly she breaks out into happy laughter out of nowhere, "Though he did get me something small, too!" Whatever it was she likes it a lot.

    She then nods to Haruna mentioning wearing a ring, only to backtrack a little. "I-I mean, it's not that I don't like this very much! It's stunning, and beautiful, and wonderful. ...but for me it's not the kind of thing I feel like showing off every day." She lifts it gently in her hand and stares at it for a short moment, "This is the kind of thing I want to save for very special occasions." And yet she's wearing it every day.

    She set it back down on her chest, leaving it out since they've both already seen it.

    She blinks in surprise when Aki flips out momentarily over Haruna's pay. It's either very, very low or very, very high. And knowing Hannah and how she is about her friends...

    "Oh, Hannah-chan," she says in a slightly embarrassed manner. Then a soft sigh, "But if you think about it, she is the CEO of a big company, and the things she does are very dangerous." She shakes her head a little, "I don't know how she does it. Going to school, running a company, and being a Magical Girl all at the same time. ...I really admire that!"

    At that Madoka gives Haruna a happy smile, followed by a slightly apologetic one to Aki, "Things like that... I can really understand how Haruna-chan could be drawn to someone so driven. That's one of the things I really like about Takashi-kun, too. He has so much passion for the things he does!"

    Madoka has to cover her mouth because she's giggling more when Aki gets Haruna upset by telling her exactly what she's going to be getting for Christmas. She nods to Haruna when asked about it even while laughing more. She feels a bit bad about it, but she's having fun as the two frustrate each other in turn.

    She's happy for them. Even when they get aggravated she can tell it's only on the surface and that deep down they care a lot for each other.

    Then it's time to go out to get food and Madoka returns her necklace back under her shirt. "Your treat, really? Thanks, Haruna-chan!" She smiles to the other girl as her arm is suddenly taken and walks with her out the door. Once outside she gets out her phone and sends a quick message to her dad.

    'I got invited out to dinner with a friend! I'll let you know if I'm going to be late coming home. -Madoka'
