It started from a dream (Splatoon manga madoka magica au)

Chapter 7: Specs' wish

The wind was heard blowing through a window while a female with long blue tentacles and headphones looked out. Bobble was outside of the room she was in. The short tentacled female breathed in and out before walking in, smiling like always. The female heard the footsteps then looked over "oh, hi Bobble!" She exclaimed. Bobble waved before sitting down beside her and digging through her bag and taking out a cd. "It's for you Headphones," Bobble said before the other female pulled it out. "Wow. Thanks a lot for getting me this, you're like this amazing expert at finding rare cd's." She said as it was a squid sisters and off the hook cd that was sold out as soon as it was released. "Nah, I guess I'm lucky is all," Bobble replied. The female then took a cd player that was on the table and put the cd in while taking off her headphones and put in one earbud while Bobble lifted up her hat a bit to put in the other. "I wish I could hook it up to a speaker and play it loud but the nurses would kill me." The long tentacled squid told Bobble. They then noticed how the earbuds were stretched all the way out so then leaned closer together. Headphones then pressed play and maritime memory began. Bobble started to silently listen to the music as she remembered that Headphones woke her up in the middle of the night telling her to turn on the tv. She then snapped out of it as she heard Headphones sniffling and looked up to see her looking out the window and crying while trying to move her hand.

Bobble then looked down, feeling bad for her.

It was now later at night and Specs had a ribbon in his hand. It then turned into a gun as he yelled "Tiro Finale!" and shot it. The monster then disappeared as the gun disappeared. "Woah, Specs your so cool," Bobble said as her and Goggles came out of hiding. "This isn't supposed to be fun. What we're doing is very dangerous, don't forget that okay." Specs told them before detransforming and jumping down from the lamp post. "Roger that." That's when Goggles realized something "how come a grief seed didn't pop out this time?" He asked. "It wasn't a witch, It was a familiar acting without its master. They don't carry grief seeds." Kyubey told him. "It seems a shame to have to fight it and not get anything." "We can't really let familiars do what they want. If we did they'd eventually become the same as the witch they split off from. Well, shall we go now."

The group was now just wandering around. "Have either of you decided what to wish for yet?" Spec asked them. "Nu-uh, how about you?" Bobble replied then asked Goggles. Goggles just looked down and said "no..." "That doesn't surprise me. It's hard to think under pressure." That when Goggles looked up and said "Maybe it would help if you told us what you wished for." Specs then stopped in his tracks. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be nosey! It's fine if you don't want to say." Goggles quickly apologized. "For me it was different...." It was then a flashback to when he made his wish. He was walking home with Headphones since they lived close to each other and a car came speeding around the corner and hit them. Headphones was right in front of the car and she died on impact. Specs was lying there next to her when Kyubey saw them. "I didn't have the luxury of thinking about it first." Specs then held out his hand towards Kyubey and Kyubey granted his wish, knowing what he wanted. The flashback ended with a flash of white light as Specs opened his eyes.

"It's not that I regret my decision, we're both alive after all and I think the lives we have now is much better than being dead. But if you have the chance to think really hard about what you want, you should take as much time as you need. That wasn't an option for me." Specs told them as he said the last part quietly. "Wait, did you say we-" Goggles started but got cut off by Bobble. "Hey Specs, I was wondering. If you make a wish does it have to be for yourself?" "Did he say we?" Goggles asked but didn't get an answer. "Hm?" "Let's say that, and this is just an example okay, say there was someone who was having a way worse time than I was. Would it be bad if I used my wish to help them out?" She asked as Goggles forgot about the we thing and asked "Are you talking about Headphones?" "It's an example, I'm not talking about anyone." "You can wish for whatever you want. There's no rule that says you have to be the one to benefit from it. It wouldn't be the first time that happened." Kyubey told them as he looked over at Specs.

"Actually that might not be the best idea, if you use your wish to grant someone else's you should be careful that you know why you're doing it. Are you really doing it for someone else's benefit? Or the opposite, you're doing it for the other person's everlasting gratitude?" Specs asked, saying the last question in a cold voice. That when Goggles started to realize who 'we' was "Specs..." "The motive behind a wish is what matters most, you know." The magical squid continued as he said the last part quietly. "That's kinda harsh, I was just asking," Bobble told him. "I'm sorry but I had to say it now before it was too late. If you're not 100 percent sure why you're doing it, you'll most definitely regret it later." He told her and she then looked down to the side before looking up. "I guess you're right, maybe I was being a little naive there. Sorry." "It's okay. It's a hard decision to make, isn't it? It's not something you need to rush into." Specs told them as Goggles sighed. "As far as I'm concerned the sooner you decide, the better," Kyubey told them. "Oh please, haven't you heard? People don't like pushy boys." Specs said as they all started to laugh.
