Puella Magi Falsus Magica (A PMMM Quest)

[] "I wanted to stop her. Keep her from running."

You held your side while in pain before letting out a shaky breath. You slowly had your wounds heal as you got back up your feet. Homura kept her boot on Yuri's face while you worked to respond to her quip.

"I wanted to stop her. Keep her from running," you replied as you looked down at Yuri unconscious on the ground.

"Right... And where did that get you?" Homura asked as she took her boot off Yuri's face before picking her up by the arm. She then glanced behind you and Kaguya as Madoka came into view, out of breath from having to run.

"Homura-chan... You're too fast," she wheezed as she held her chest in exhaustion, "Slow down will you?"

"Apologies but I had to react quick..." Homura said as she held Yuri up towards Kaguya, "You'll want to lock this one tight."

"Noted," Kaguya murmured as she looked at Yuri with a look of concern, "Thank you for subduing her. If... If you would, there are girls around willing to put her in containment again."

Madoka turned to her friend and nodded, "Go. I'll patch Yukina up."

"I'll live," you murmured with a wince as Madoka worked on patching you up.

"No you won't not unless you let me do my job," Madoka growled as she made sure you kept still, "Hey, hey don't pass out. Focus on me."

"Trying hard not to," you replied as you held your head. You felt your seeds squirm within you before you tried calming them with deep breaths. Madoka brought you to a wall and had you sit there while she assisted in healing your wounds.

"We were called here once people found out about the commotion. Homura and I were the fastest to respond. What happened?" Madoka asked with a serious expression.

"We've been breached. Yukina here stopped the culprit before they could kill us. It was the Envoy," Kaguya explained as she stood by your side, "I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for Yukina."

"Not good. If anything happened to you after that fancy speech you gave then people would be more doubtful of the operation tonight," Madoka said as she moved her hand over your shoulder, "Luck doesn't begin to describe it but... Yukina managed despite everything."

"I try," you muttered.

"You try too much," Madoka said as she narrowed her gaze at you, "You're dying and you just go battle the Envoy of all people without regard for your life?"

"Don't have much left to live. I'll help anyway I can," you told her with a frown.

"Homura's right in giving you the stink eye. What was your plan?" Madoka sighed as she shook her head.

"Please don't remind me..." you grumbled as you shook your head. You then turned to the hole Yuri made and grimaced, "This wasn't the prep time I was expecting..."

"Instead of getting some rest, we're all spooked. It would seem that the Envoy did her job in rattling us... Still, we can't let this feeling fester," Kaguya said as she turned your way, "I'll have to go talk to the other Captains and have them rally the girls. We need everyone ready for tonight... Yukina, we'll need you there too. So rest up for now, okay?"

"Got it..." you nodded as Kaguya glanced at Madoka and nodded before moving off.

"I'll be handling you now. Don't worry, I was a school nurse's assistant back in Mitakihara. I have my way with injured people," Madoka assured you as she pat your head, "Still, this was quite the mess, huh? Just before the final battle too."

"Yeah. I... I'm sorry for getting hurt," you told her with a somber look.

"It's fine. Because of you no one got hurt too badly. You even managed to stop Yuri," Madoka said with a smile as she helped you up.

Homura soon came to view as her hair swayed behind her. Her twinkling purple eyes turned your way and reported, "Yuri's been contained. We should get this one somewhere she can rest."

"You're not wrong there..." Madoka giggled as she supported you, "Well then, any place you want to go?"

You thought about it before you parted your lips to speak. The two girls raised their eyebrows when they heard your answer.

.....
....
...

The bar was quiet when Madoka brought you there. Walking in, you truly felt at home. Touko and Kaito were still watching over Sai so there wasn't anyone in the bar at this time of day. Plus no one would go drinking at two in the afternoon.

Madoka and Homura opened the lights while you turned on the air conditioning. The familiar feel of the bar soon returned as you turned on the lights behind the counter. Taking off the cloths covering the glasses, you knelt down and took a look at what was stored in the fridge.

Some fresh fruits and a few wines.

"Is this your idea of resting?" Homura asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"It's better if I'm in a place I'm familiar with," you told her as you cracked a small smile.

"Ehhh, I never had a drink before," Madoka smiled at you as she rested her chin on her palm, "You want to give us a shot?"

"Madoka, we're minors," Homura sighed as she shook her head.

"Please, Homura-chan, we've been looping timelines or jumping through parallel worlds enough that we've been doing it for years. We're older than we look!" Madoka huffed with a pout.

"I can make you two something non-alcoholic. If only to put the Assassin at ease," you offered as you got your shaker out.

Homura seemed doubtful of this before she sat down beside Madoka, "Fine... Serve me anything."

"Mama used to drink too when she's feeling good but I doubt she never had anything this fancy... This is for free right?" Madoka wondered as she turned to you.

"Yes. It's on the house," you replied with a nod, "Do you two have any preferences?"

"I'd like something fluffy and sweet. Alcohol is optional if you're feeling bad about it," Madoka said before she turned to her friend.

Homura gave Madoka a weird look before shaking her head, "Bitter. I need something bitter and warm. Though I'd leave it up to you."

"Pretty vague choices... But I'll figure something out," you replied as you tapped your cheek.

================
Note: This is the final Drink Mixing. Make it count, guys.

What will you serve Madoka?
[] Moonblast (Sweet, Girly, Happy)

What will you serve Homura?
[]A Suplex (Bitter, Manly, Burning) (No the drink. Don't actually suplex her.)

You just have the thing for these two. If that's what they decided on, then you weren't one to judge. You only mixed drinks after all. Getting your instruments on the counter as well as the ingredients. The two girls watched you work as you took an apron and wrapped it around your waist. You started to become more comfortable as you recalled the lessons Kaito imparted you. You first set up to make Madoka's drink since it was more convenient for you.

You placed a blender on the side before taking out a chopping board and knife. Putting one of the chilled watermelons and started cutting the juicy bits into cubes before putting them in a glass, enough to reach the brim. You then got some lemon juice and started pouring it into the blender, followed by the watermelon. Madoka whistled at the precision of your work but she hasn't seen anything yet.

Taking some white rum still sealed, you took off the cap and poured it into the blender with the lemonade. You then poured the watermelons too before filling the rest of its space with ice. Turning the blender on, you waited and stared at the contents with great concentration.

"You're really used to this by now, huh?" Madoka noted with a small smile.

"It's a hobby," you blinked as you glanced at her.

"Well... It's certainly something. Madoka, are you sure about the alcohol?" Homura asked with an uncertain look.

"It'll be fine! I'm a Kaname, Homura-chan," Madoka smiled as she patted her friend's shoulder.

The drink was slowly complete once it had become rather slushy within the blender. You stopped it and took off the cap before pouring the drink into a highball glass, filling it up with a cool pinkish color from the watermelon you blended. You smiled as you ended up toppn it off with a bit of some more lemonade before you held it up and stirred with a stirring rod.

Gently mixing it all together before the pink haired girl's eyes, you placed it before you and took the rod out. You added some mint leaves on top of it before you garnished the top with fairy floss. You pushed it towards her and handed her a metal straw.

"We don't use plastic. It's much nicer to the environment," you told her as you stepped back.

Madoka stared at the presentation that went to the drink and hesitated, "It's... Really pretty. Is it really okay to drink this?"

"Yes. I made it sweet enough to not let the alcoholic taste hit you too hard. It's a nice beginner drink but take too much and you might wind up sloshed," you explained as you placed your hand on your hip, "It's a gentle drink. Good for hot days to cool off... Or if you're just in a good mood. It reminded me of you the best with the subtle sting of alcohol being a testament of your strength."

"Well that's certainly something. You made it on your impression of me?" Madoka asked as she took a sip. Her eyes widened as she looked your way, "I... Wow, it's sweet!"

Homura's eyes widened at how Madoka's golden eyes blinked in delight before turning to her. She held up her hands before a straw Madoka was using was shoved into her mouth. Her face turned burning crimson as she sipped and choked. Homura was sent coughing and holding her throat as Madoka giggled on the side.

"Sweet! It's too sweet and that was-! You shouldn't do that Madoka!" Homura squawked as her face turned a shade brighter of red.

"Do what?" Madoka hummed as she gave her friend a teasing look.

"What you did! An indirect-, you know what? Never mind," Homura griped as she shook her head, "Please forget it."

"An indirect what, Homura-chan? Yukina might not understand it so say it out loud," Madoka smirked as she gave her friend an affectionate look.

Homura tried not to get caught in that gaze and faced you, "Go make mine now. I'm not ready for this."

"Understood," as you took out an old fashioned glass and slid it before you. You kept the white rum you used before and placed it beside the spiced dark rum you just pulled. Placing a can of cola and box of pineapple juice on the counter made Homura raised her eyebrows. You simply smiled at her as you placed a bowl of orange slices too.

You then began to work by pouring the ingredients minus the fruits into the shaker with their proper volumes. Homura watched with rapt attention as you placed the ice within the shaker and sealed it. Holding it up, you began to shake vigorously as you felt the ice rattle within the metal container. You shook it for a few more moments before you took off the cap and gently poured it over the old fashioned glass, letting the drink wash over the crystal clear ice cubes within it.

You then slid it towards Homura and nodded, "Order up."

Homura took the glass and inspected it. She sniffed it and was met with the scent of alcohol and the citrus smell of oranges. You then watched her drink it as and took a couple of gulps. Her eyes shut tight before she placed her drink down.

"That's quite the punch," She let out a shaky breath.

"Ho? The usually unflappable Assassin is giving in from Yukina's drink?" Madoka noted as she sipped her drink with a happy look.

Homura simply stared at her before sipping her own drink and hissing, "It's burning my tongue but goes down my throat well."

"There's another version of it in which I replace the rum with vodka," you offered her with a nod. You then offered an explanation as you held up your hand, "It's a drink which focuses more on the taste rather than the burning sensation as it goes down your throat. The ice and the pineapple juice contributed to that and gave you that hard kick you just felt."

The two girls were impressed by that and looked at their respective drinks with raised eyebrows. They smiled and enjoyed taking careful sips to savor the taste. You cleaned up after yourself for a few minutes before you realized that the two had finished their drinks. They seemed pretty pretty satisfied as they had rosy cheeks.

"It was pretty good," Madoka hummed as she stirred the empty glass with her straw.

"It's talent. I'm sure you'll be a popular bartender once this is all over," Homura cleared her throat as she crossed her arms. She then shrugged and said, "I still prefer tea."

"Oh really?" Madoka said with a raised eyebrow.

"But once in awhile, this may be not too bad," Homura said as she shook her head, "Though entering these establishments with our appearance could prove to be troublesome."

"You should open a bar just like this one. This bar caters to Magical Girls, right? I'm sure there's some of us that'll appreciate another one being made," Madoka said as she crossed her arms.

"A bar of my own, huh?" you murmured.

"Don't you want to open one? This isn't the first one I've come across in my travels but this has been a stand out. One you're managing on your own would be interesting to see," Madoka said a she smiled your way.

"I believe a name should be made first," Homura chimed in as she glanced your way, "One that would befit your tastes would be nice."

"Oooh, smart idea, Homura-chan," Madoka approved with a thumbs up.

You were wiping a glass as you stared at the two of them before you gave it some thought. Well... It was just a hobby at the end of the day but now... You're not so sure. It would be a fun place for everyone but you doubted Kaito would appreciate the competition... Or maybe he would?

"So, you have any ideas?" Madoka asked you with a raised eyebrow.
