Magical Girl Cherry Blossom - MG Prequel

Chapter 2 - I have a tattoo?

~~~ Configuring and naming Hanma

Sakura fell asleep quickly even with the other two girls talking. Thankfully they were being relatively quiet which helped a great deal. Once she was asleep though the dreams started. In the first dream she was in an open field of some sort and there was an older female standing in it facing her. Before she even spoke somehow Sakura knew it was a representation of the hammer. She took a moment to look down and she was in the silly outfit again. It was the stereotypical MG type outfit comprised of some cute version of a girl's school uniform. "Why can't I wear shorts and a blouse?"

The Magical Item rolled her eyes. "Because you are a Magical Girl and there are certain rules which need to be abided by. One of the first is what clothing is appropriate. This means you need to wear some sort of uniform which identifies you as what you are. Hence the middle school uniform with the addition of strategically placed parts which look like armor. You also have some sort of Magical Item and for you it's a nice shiny hammer. You do think Thor is hot right? Should I give you some sort of cute Thor based schoolgirl armor?"

Sakura glowered at her for her suggestion. She couldn't imagine something sillier than some sort of Thor slash schoolgirl uniform. With her luck she would end up with a helmet with ogre horns and cute little skulls or something. She had a warped sense of humor but there were boundaries she wouldn't cross. "Don't you dare even think of making some sort of Asgardian schoolgirl abomination. Can I at least have some bloomers under the skirt? If I am going to be jumping around and fighting, I really don't have the urge to show my panties off." She looked contemplative for a moment. "Well unless there are cute girls around who might want to check what's under the skirt. In that case I could live with it."

The MI growled at her. "Cherry Blossom that's utterly inappropriate. While working you shouldn't even contemplate having your bottom or panties checked out and especially by other girls." Just for good measure she crossed her arms and had a stern look on her face. "Now for a different subject, first you need to come up with a name for me. It doesn't matter what it is, well within limits, since the act of naming me seals me to you. Once that's done nobody except you will be able to do anything with me."

She had to snicker at her. "Hey, I am a teenage female with all the lovely hormones surging through my body. It causes acts of stupidity, thoughts of sex, gives you acne, and makes vampires hungry one week a month." Sakura starting giggling when the hammer mentioned only she would be able to do anything with her but managed not to comment. "Fine how about Hanma? It is easy to remember and appropriate."

Hanma started at her and frowned. "What do vampires have to do with..." She covered her face and groaned. "Cherry Blossom that was horrible and you need to wash your brain out." She groaned again just for good measure. "So, you want to name me hammer? How creative a name. Initializing and processing." Her voice dripped sarcasm when she spoke.

Sakura watched her and could have sworn she heard the beeps, whistles, and other sound from some of the shows from the 70's. Hell, it looked like her eyes were blinking in time with the sounds as well. "Man, I hope that's just sound effects. If I have a magical item with old tech in it, I am going to be upset."

After several minutes of dream time had passed and Hanma was still doing the beeping and flashing eye thing Sakura decided to lay down and relax. Before she realized it, she had fallen asleep. The next thing she remembered was some god-awful noise jolting her awake and she almost screamed. As she was catching her breath, she realized it was someone's alarm clock and they weren't waking up.

Before she could throw Hanma at it, Chiyo growled and rolled out of bed. She slapped the alarm off and jerked the covers off Aiko and rolled her off the bed. From watching the way Chiyo did this it was a normal occurrence which made Sakura bury her head in her pillow and groan. "Great, an alarm to wake the dead and she still sleeps through it. One of us might not live very long if this is a daily occurrence."
