Becky, Serena, and Peter are eating breakfast back at their apartment. Cereal.
Becky sees Peter in such a great mood.
"You seem like you had a fun time last night?" Becky smiled at Peter.
Looking embarrassed. "Yeah. With our new neighbour."
"Being frisky with her on her first night here?" Becky chuckled as she ate her cereal.
"You seem like you're jealous that I got some instead of you." Peter being snarky.
"You have no idea that I'm keeping myself pure and innocent." Becky is frustrated.
"Pure and innocent?" Peter repeats with a questionable tone. "I doubt those, but I do admire that you have kept it for so long."
Serena seems interested in the topic. "Speaking of such, I have never seen you on a date or any kind of interaction with another person besides Peter and myself."
"When I heard that in order to be a Pink Magical Girl, I had to keep my virginity unless that had been updated. Because if so, I'm gonna attack the trans man down the hallway, because I need something to relieve some stress." Becky is showing some body frustration.
"Why not masturbate?" Serena suggested. "Plus, that's harassment, and I'll bring the police for that."
"Dave will really like that since there's a cell with her name on it." Peter chuckled.
"That's all I can do, but you know that feeling of being embraced by another, there's no feeling as such as that." Becky looked down at Serena. "I want to keep Pete out of the apartment when I do have a partner. And seeing that once I graduated from the Magical Girl Academia, I can finally let loose and go after anyone I want."
"You seem beyond pent up." Serena drinks her coffee in an espresso cup. "But like your brother here, I'll admire your determination that you managed to keep your virginity for so long. Not many Vigilantes got that much will power, willingly to endure body stress."
"Ms. Serena, aren't Pink Magical Girl hopefuls who can date and do the deed? Because I was reading that they're planning on changing that rule." Peter turned to Serena.
"Yes, that's true..." Serena was interrupted as Becky is already at the front door then holding the doorknob as she's slowly taking off her jacket. "But..." Serena turned for a bit to see that Becky was back at the table and putting on her jacket. "The MGGA and the MGA want to keep the image of the Pink Magical Girl. Those kinds of offers will decline. Dating is acceptable but no sexual encounters. At least till you graduate or married."
"What about you, Ms. Serena?" Becky asked her as she's leaning down on the table next to her.
"I prefer an actual Guide like me. No stray allowed." Serena answered.
"Maybe we should go to a pet store to adopt a male cat for your pleasure." Peter joked.
"Peter!" Serena felt offended.
Peter and Serena are laughing but Becky doesn't seem to be amused.
"If I'm not getting laid any time soon, then Serena is gonna suffer with me." Becky said to Peter. "So Pete, who's the girl?"
"Mary Crimson. She said she'll be staying for a month or two." Peter revealed what made Becky suspicious with Serena. "She will be coming by for a booty call. She was quite forward which it did shocked me at first." Peter looked at the door then finished up his meal.
"Where does she live?" Becky asked.
"Floor C, Room 6." Peter answered.
"And how's the tickets!" Becky immediately changed the subject. "You must have been down at the police station in order to pay for them."
Serena's ears twitched then Peter looked up at her.
"Actually, I need to go out of state for those." Peter said to Becky, which shocked her.
"Eh?" Dumbfounded.
"He's right. Since this is Kansas, there's no official MGGA office here. He must go out of state in order to pay for those." Serena added. "The MGGA office is located to the bigger and grandeur states."
"Speaking of which, when are you planning on going?" Becky asked.
Peter signed. "Actually, I was hoping to leave by the end of today. Since the MGGA offices are strict with their business hours. So after you left to confront the Witch, I called my boss for a leave. He can only give me a weekend trip, so I had to make a quick call and request a meeting for these tickets." Peter pulled out the tickets. "I had to take a bus, because the plane ticket is already too much."
"Well, perhaps you should leave." Becky hard back pat Peter while Serena is giving her an ugly look.
"Alright. But I want you to clean everything up while I'm gone." Peter starts dressing up then grabs the tickets. "So don't make any calls, and if there's an emergency, call Dave." Becky is forcing Peter at the door.
"Alright, alright!" Becky agreed. "I clean up my fur off the floor, so this isn't new. Plus I can buy myself some food for once!"
"That reminds me, I'll be taking my card with me." Peter said to Becky that she started choking him.
"And why not leave your adorable baby sister without any spending money for actual food?!"
Speaking while being choked. "Because I need that money in order to pay for the bus ticket back home. They're quite expensive. Plus I spend most of my money to pay off the bills, so you're no help when it comes to that. But I did leave you some money in the cabinet next to the fridge."
Becky let go and checked. She sees around $500. "I can get myself some pizza, and maybe something fancy."
Peter cleared up his throat. "Don't spend it on fancy food. Just food that can last a weekend, alright?!"
"I got you!" Becky smiled.
"Then I'll go ahead. See you later, then." Peter is about to leave the room. "Just don't do anything stupid then." Looking worried. "I don't want to come back to an empty home."
"It'll be alright!" Becky gives him a thumbs up.
He leaves the apartment.
Becky sat next to Serena with a relieved expression. "Did you know where to go?" She asked Serena which confused her for a bit.
"Beg your pardon?" Serena asked.
"I don't trust anyone with the name Mary after encountering the Familiar. Plus, we never had a new neighbour in three years. Plus, Room 6 on Floor C has been vacated much longer. But her just here after fighting against her Familiar, things are looking up for us."
Serena took a long thought till she realised what Becky was saying. "Oh! That's quite true! Perhaps we can trap her here in this complex!" Serena agreed to what Becky was saying.
"Then we need to slide in an SD card. Plus I want to get my brother out of harm's way, this is a perfect opportunity." Becky walked up to her brother's bed.
Serena walked in with Becky. "Do you think she must have left some Magic traces?"
"I want to believe it, so can you call Detective to come here?" Becky asked.
"Right away!" Serena pressed the collar in order to make a call.
§
Peter is at the bus station for his ride, looking at the tickets.
An orange and white cat sat next to Peter, over his shoulder.
"So someone in this town is a Magical Vigilante?" The cat spoke with a peaceful and elegant tone.
Peter turned but not bothered by the cat speaking. "Oh, so..." Peter was bothered by the actual person next to her. "Woah!"
Next to him is a small but frail looking girl, around Becky's age. She's around 5'1". Black haired girl with an Egirl look. Loose black shirt that reaches on on her thighs. Leggings with a skirt. Shoes. Black lipstick, purple eyeshadow, and eye contacts. Black finger paint.
"Never seen a girl like you before?" Peter isn't impressed by the Egirl look, but that she seems unhealthy by looking quite boney that made him worried. "Do you need anything to eat?! I think my sister is about to order some pizza, so you can have it all!"
"Actually, no." The cat spoke up. "She's not that quiet of a girl."
She finally speaks. "Sorry for causing you trouble. So are you becoming a Magical Guardian?" She spoke with a girly tone. "But I'm not an eater."
Peter seemed to see her arms. Looking quite grossed out by how much bone is showing, but trying to keep his eyes towards her eyes but her neck is quite distracting.
"I want to apologise that I can't stop staring." He bows while his body shakes, knowing he must had offended her.
She seemed confused then looked at the cat. "Raye? Do you know what he's apologising for?"
Raye looked up. "I believe he has never seen a girl who suffers a severe case of anorexia nervosa. At least in person."
"I wouldn't say suffer." She seemed to not be bothered by him. "But let me introduce myself then. The name's Mackenzie Callihan, but call me Kenzie for short." She smiled while giving him a peace sign.
To Peter, smiling seemed to be the only thing that looked healthy. He kept looking around to avoid the awkward looking. "Peter Wolfe, and I'm here to pay for my sister's tickets. She's the Magical Girl, but anyways, you should go meet her. We live at the Emerald Apartment Complex at Floor D, Room 3. And if you're a Magical Girl, I'm sure you'll get along with my sister."
"Ah!" Kenzie bowed. "Then I'll welcome myself to your apartment, Petey."
"Again, I deeply apologise for my action and reaction." Peter offer a handshake, but she walked up to him to give him a small quick kisses on the cheeks.
"It's alright. I'm quite used to the awkward stares, just don't make any zombie jokes." She shakes his hand then walked away with Raye taking the lead. "See ya later, Petey!"
"Have a lovely day!" Raye nods to him.
Peter waved back at her. "I hope Becky won't break her. And that's a Magical Girl? I tend to believe Magical Girls are more... fit." Peter thinks to himself as he gets into the bus. "But good for her on being a Magical Girl, and if she got a Guide, then she must be good or even better than Becky." Peter pull out his phone to give out a text. "Just in case, I'll leave a text for her to give her the heads up and don't be insensitive like me." Looking at the bus ticket that reads 'Austin, Texas'. "I can't believe I had to go to Texas to pay this off? And why didn't the Colorado branch open up yet? God, I can't believe this."
§
"Thank you, Detective. Have a good day." Serena sounds disappointed over her call as she's sitting on the table as Becky is cleaning up.
"So what happened?" Becky asked as she's reading the text from Peter.
"Detective said that we got it covered. But if I'm gonna be honest with you, I doubt we could win this fight without help from a professional." Serena said to Becky. "Lucky for you, while I was covering this whole city with SD cards, I managed to call for backup. Whether we get help will be in question." Serena explained as she looked over the paperwork. "Spent all night working on the paperwork."
Becky is finishing up her fur. "After fighting one, I could use the help. Her Familiar was hard enough to beat."
"But you had impressed Detective for the Green Dorm recommendation." Serena leaned back.
"Yeah. But I thought about something, since there's a Magical Girl Academia, but is there a Guide School?" Becky asked Serena about her background.
"It's more of a program, but in a sort of way, yes." Serena made her way down to the couch. "We're lucky that we have this from the crime scene." Pocket watch where Detective put the SD card in.
Becky is looking at the pocket watch. "Such an odd item for a Magical Girl."
"Different Magical Girls have different items." Serena lays down. "Plus how will we get close to her? I'm not looking forward to guiding a Blue Magical Girl, because they look more stressful on working with."
"I'm not a smart girl, but they do sound like an actual pain to deal with." Becky is tapping her head.
The door buzzed for the front. Both of them look at it.
"Did you order the pizza already?" Serena asked.
"No, it must be the heads up that Pete told me about. So..." Becky walked up to it. Through the intercom. "This is Wolfe's Den, but Brother Wolfe is out, so Sister Wolfe is here. So state your business." Becky leans on her side.
"Hello! Your brother told me that you're a Magical Girl, and the Guide is looking for help, so do you mind buzzing me in?" Kenzie said to Becky in a joyful tone.
Looking back at Serena. "Is this the help you requested?"
"I believe so. But I was expecting tomorrow, not today." Serena walked next to Becky. "Mine as well buzz in."
"Alright, come right up!" Becky buzzes her in.
Both of them went to the table, but noticed Kenzie and Raye were at the window of their apartment.
"Holy Shit!!!" Both of them said it out loud.
"Hello!" Kenzie waves at them, but both Becky has a knife ready while Serena has her claws out.
"What the hell is that?!" Becky asked Serena.
"I don't know! Must be a Witch that knows necromancy!" Serena agreed.
Raye knocks on the window. "Is that you, Serena?!" She called her out. "Plus quite rude to you saying this lovely girl here is part of necromancy. So can you open this up?"
Serena leaned towards Becky to whisper. "Make sure you keep the knife in hand. Because I don't trust Raye."
"I'm pretty sure if you know a cat by name, you must know her on a personal level." Becky put down the knife as she whispered back.
She walked up to the window, in order to open it up. "Sorry about that. I just assume from the bones" Becky is being friendly with Kenzie while opening up the window. "Plus, you could had waited down there."
"It's alright." Kenzie smiled as to Becky, it might be the healthiest thing about her look. "I also kind of was expecting on what you would do if something strange just appear out of nowhere."
Becky open up the window for them.
"So you're a Magical Girl?" Kenzie asked.
"Pretty much. The only Magical Girl in Oztown. Perhaps even in Kansas." Becky seems to be taking pride over the idea.
Raye enters the apartment with Kenzie. She walked up to Serena.
"Hello Serena" she smiled at her. "How have you been?"
