1. Five Girls on a Train
Mami put down her tea and stared at Homura looking out the window. It gave her the creeps the way she just
sat there staring.
“Er…Miss Akemi…would you like something to drink?”
“Uhn…?” Homura turned to see the cup of tea Mami was offering her.
She shook her head and continued to gaze out the window.
“Geez…what the hell’s the matter with her?” Kyouko asked between bites of pokey.
“Beats me..though she always has seemed to be rather…” Mami replied and then as though suddenly remembering something or someone,”What happened to Madoka and Sayaka?”
“They went up to the Observation Deck. Trains give Sayaka the willies these days because of…”
“It’s two days.” Homura said softly to herself but loud enough for the other two to hear her.
“Wha..?”
“Miss Akemi..?”
“I think I’d better go see if Madoka and Sayaka are ready for this.” she said as she abruptly got up and walked towards
the rear of the compartment.
She flipped her hair before turning and asking Mami, “You said the Observation Deck?”
Mami nodded.
“That damn girl scares the hell out of me.” Kyouko commented as Homura walked out of sight.
On the Observation Deck Homura found Sayaka and Madoka with their backs turned to the window.
The later showed signs of having been crying.
“I hope your both ready for this. We only have two days.”
They turned to face Homura.
“But Homura-chan…”
“Is she ready to go or not?”
Sayaka glared.
“I’m Alright To Fight Witches, IF That’s What You Mean?…You Traitor Of A Devil!” and stormed out.
Madoka sighed and signaled Homura to sit down with her.
” Do you think we have a chance this time?” she asked. “Do you think we can prevent Kyubey from making the contract?”
Homura frowned.
“I hope so.” she whispered, “If we don’t we all be in trouble.”
In unseen higher dimensions Devil Homura and Goddess Madoka looked across each other from a celestial chessboard.
“How many times is this?” Devil Homura asked.
” As many times as we possibly need.” Goddess Madoka replied, as they reshuffled their pieces for the next round of
Entropy Chess.
