             The next morning hadn't even come, yet here the three magical girls (and Kyubey) were, waiting in the woods before sunrise on a Sunday morning.

             "We're gonna kick their asses!" Tabbi bounced back and forth, ready to fight.

             "Tabitha..." Charlotte subtly reminded her how important it was to stay calm as they waited for the other girls. She began to pet the quiet Kyubey in her arms.

             "I know, I know.... I'm just sayin' I got my guard up this time...." Tabbi explained. "I wasn't ready last time...."

              "Are they..... Here yet...?" Cate sat in the grass, leaning up against a tree, practically asleep.

             "No not... wait.." Tabbi checked her gem and sensed the girls off in the distance. "They're almost here..."

             Charlotte checked a pink watch that she had made sure to put on that morning. It was 4:58AM. The new girls were planning to arrive perfectly on time; no sooner, no later.

              After silence for what felt like years, the two girls revealed themselves from under the dark shadows. Both were in their magical uniforms.

             "Good morning." A dissatisfied voice and expression greeted everyone from the fox-themed redhead.

             "Good morning~" Charlotte smiled confidently, knowing that the girls were fearful of her. This was exactly the situation they had hoped to be in.

              With her lower lip raised into a scowling frown, the magical girl continued. "We have decided...." She looked back slightly at her yellow-themed friend who nodded in agreement. "...Not to kill you all."

             Tabbi raised an eyebrow at that remark, feeling offended that this chick thinks she can win in a battle against someone with all the knowledge in the world.

             "You should all be very grateful!" The girl continued, raising her chin in a stuckup manner.

             Without letting a chance for Tabbi to bark back, Charlotte responded. "That is very kind of you both... I apologize, I don't believe I caught your names."

             The red haired girl glared at Charlotte as the sun-themed magical girl spoke up. "I'm M-Mimi, and this is Rae-"

              "Reagan Corder!" The girl named Reagan snapped, not taking her eyes off the pink-eyed blond.

             "It is a pleasure to meet you both. My name is Charlotte. This is Tabitha and Catherine."

             "Call me Tab Tab~" Tabbi tried to be more casual, now that the situation had calmed down.

             "Hi..." Cate was now standing, still using the tree to support her.

             "Very well.... Charlotte... Catherine.... Tab Tab..." Reagan addressed the girls as properly as she could while still clearly dismissing them as not worthy of her time.

             Tabbi had to put her hands over her mouth trying not to burst out laughing at hearing the girl say 'Tab Tab.' Charlotte rolled her eyes backwards as she attempted to not comment on another one of Tabbi's amusing moments.
