Cherry Blossom

Chapter 3

"I'm sorry, all you wanted was your best friend alive with you, and I had to go and kill you." Hotaru said.

"It's okay, now let's go." Madoka said.

Sayaka grabbed Madoka and pulled her away.

"Madoka can I to ask a favour?" she asked.

The two began whispering.

When they pulled away, Madoka had a serious look on her face.

"Are you sure Hotaru?" Madoka asked the red headed magical girl.

Hotaru nodded, knowing what Sayaka had asked for.

"Yes." she said softly.

Madoka smiled.

"Okay, now let's go back." Madoka said softly.

----------

"Madoka!" Homura called to her best friend.

Madoka turned.

"Hi Homura." Madoka greeted.

"Um, do you want to come over?" Homura asked.

Madoka smiled. "Sure."

As she went, she saw a girl who looked like one of her classmates smile at her, mouth a 'thank you' and leave.

Madoka smiled softly.

Her wish may have been reversed, but she was happy that all of her friends were happy, and most of all that Homura was happy.

----------

"Kyoko! That's mine!" Sayaka snapped.

The two were in a cafe, arguing over who had which cake.

"No it's not!" Kyoko shot back.

Something caught Sayaka's eye and she looked over to see Hotaru smiling at her, she mouthed a 'thank you' to her, and left.

----------

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Anthony asked.

Hotaru walked to the airport with nothing but her familiars with her.

She smiled and nodded.

"They'll be fine now, and so will I." Hotaru agreed.

She got the next plane home to America, and went straight to where the cherry trees were, which were in full bloom.

She smiled softly and threw herself into a pile of the petals happily, ready to go back to her life with just her and her familiars in their home.
