'''Kyubey:''' ''"Absolutely not. It's out of the question. If either of them became Puellae Magi... [[The End of the World as We Know It|it would mean the end of everything]]."''|From the prologue}}

 

 

A typical day at [[Lucky Star|Ryouou High]] takes a turn for the strange when a [[New Transfer Student|mysterious transfer student]] enters Kagami's class: [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Homura Akemi]]. The new girl [[The Stoic|doesn't show emotions]] and [[The Quiet One|doesn't speak a spare word to anyone]], but whenever Kagami looks her in the eyes she feels something she can't explain. On the train ride home from school, Kagami, Konata, and Tsukasa are attacked by a terrifying creature. Homura appears and kills the monster, then apologizes to Kagami, saying that the attack "wasn't supposed to happen" before wiping her memories of the incident.

 

 

In the midst of the growing chaos, an impossible friendship starts to bloom into something more...

A [[Yuri Genre]] [[Crossover Ship]] fic that aims to be "as awesome as possible", [[Word of God|according to the authors.]]

* [[Feel No Pain]]: The mechanism of this one nature of magical girls is explained as the 'pain switch', where in an extreme case, a magical girl sacrifices her movement and speed for numbness of their body.
