Possible dumb idea- Get Sayaka and Kirika to bond over how much is sucks that their girlfriends don't go to the same school as they do, and use that as leverage to get Kyouko to actually, you know, start attending school again.

[X] Plan Walking On Sunshine
You finish breakfast, shower, change, and ready yourself for the new day. A day where the only thing you have to worry about, is the fact that you have nothing to worry about. Ah, but you're Akemi Homura; you can surely think of something to worry about if you really put your mind to it. It isn't that worrying will bring you peace of mind; rather, having something to worry about gives you focus and clarity; a mission.
You find your mission in Nagatsuki Miyuki. Archer may have checked in on her last night, but there's plenty that could have changed regarding her situation now that it's a new day. You reach for your phone, scrolling down among your contacts until you find her name. You dial, and you wait.
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
For a moment, you don't know if Nagatsuki Miyuki will pick up; or worse, that something has already happened to her; but then, "Hello?"
"Nagatsuki Miyuki, this is Akemi Homura speaking."
"Who?" You feel foolish; you know you said your name to the Shirome girls at some point in time, but you never considered the fact that they might forget, or were never paying attention when you gave your name in the first place. "Oh, right; now I remember. Sorry. What did you want?"
"I just wanted to check in with you, and make sure you and your friends were doing alright."
"Uh... Okay? I mean, you only let us go a few hours ago; I don't think there'd be any time for things to go wrong... You know, worse than they already are, no thanks to you."
"I think I was quite lenient with your friend; though I'm not here to argue how we could have handled things differently. I really am just concerned for your wel lbeing right now."
"Well, outside of this stupid rash I picked up from sleeping in a gross basement for a week, things are going okay. I mean, if you wanted to pick me up some cream while you're busy being concerned, that'd be great."
Now, this is interesting news. "A rash?" Kyouko slept in the church basement for longer than Nagatsuki Miyuki or her friends, but you never heard her complain of any rashes during that time, so you had assumed it would be safe, especially for a puella magi.
"Yeah, right here on the back of my hand. Showed up some time last night. I'm pretty sure I got it from sleeping in the basement, since there's nothing else I could have done that would have gotten me a rash."
"Well, I am sorry to hear that; though I'm also glad that everything else is going well, outside of that. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll be able to pick up any cream for you between now and when I have to be at school." You would suggest that she get in contact with Mikuni Oriko, who lives much closer to her than you do and could probably have Lancer pick her up some cream within the hour, but with things between those girls almost certainly still touch and go, you're hesitant to say anything on the off chance that your intuition or Mikuni Oriko's precognition are wrong about those girls. It wouldn't be the first time either of you have been wrong. "Anyway, if all is well then I'll let you get back to your life. I'm sure you and your friends are glad to be back."
"Yeah... Listen, I know I probably sound kind of bitchy right now, but I really do appreciate you calling me to check in."
"It was my pleasure. Take care, Nagatsuki Miyuki; and don't hesitate to call me if something should happen."
"Right." The line goes silent, and you place your phone back into your pocket. School, and Madoka, await your arrival.
"Homura-chan!" calls the voice of an angel as you approach the usual intersection. You and Madoka hug each other, and with all your strength you attempt to lift her off the ground in order to spin her in your arms. Unfortunately, "Weihihihi, that tickles Homura-chan!" you're only able to lift her a few centimeters, and your twig-like arms barely have enough strength beyond that to spin your girlfriend around. Instead, you've just managed to put her into an oddly-positioned hug.
You set Madoka down, but only let her go after giving her a proper hug this time. You smirk, and lean into her ear to say "Sayaka went on her first date with Kyouko last night; you know what we have to do, right?"
Madoka, sweet, innocent, Madoka, returns your smirk with the most devious look you never thought it possible to see on her angelic face. "We've got to pay her back for all the times she's teased us."
You don't have to wait long before your prey is in sight. Sayaka walks with a spring in her step; you're glad to see that last night's romantic escapades have lifted her spirits, but it'll be a victory all the sweeter when you can finally return all the favours her teasing has done for you and Madoka. "What's up?" she asks, none the wiser as to the plan you've concocted. "What did Kyouko and I miss after we left your place?"
"Oh, not much," you respond, doing your absolute best to hold in your smirk. "In fact, I'll bet you and Kyouko had a much more eventful time than I or anyone else did."
"Tell us everything!" Madoka can't contain herself, launching the operation timetable ahead to zero-now-hundred hours. "Where'd you and Kyouko-chan go for dinner? Did you see a movie? Go to the arcade? Did you kiss her?"
"Whoah, whoa, calm down!" Sayaka has to dodge out of the way to avoid a flying Madoka. "relax, will you? Geez, it's not like I was gonna hold out on you or anything. You guys are my best friends; of course I'd tell you how my first date went." With those words, Madoka appears to unwind, and after taking a few breather moments for herself, Sayaka says "So, we actually ended up going to the movies first. Or, we tried to, but the one we wanted to see was all booked, so we had to give up on that idea. After that, I tried to get Kyouko to come to that sorta fancy-ish place my mom takes me to for my birthdays, but she insisted that fast food from the mall was just fine." Sayaka adopts her best impression of the redhead when she says "Mall's where we first met, ain't it? So it only makes sense fer us ta do dinner there, right?" No one in attendance can hold in their laughter at Sayaka's spot-on impression of her date. "So we get there, and I'm all set to pay for her mountain of food - and seriously, I still have no idea where that girl puts it all - when out of the blue, she decides that she's gonna pay for me. Like, what? I mean, it's a nice gesture and all, but really; I was fine paying for both of us."
Now it's Sayaka's turn to join in the laughter, saying as she fails to compose herself "So after we ate, we went to the karaoke place for a bit, we sang for a bit, we kissed for a bit, and then, Kyouko said she wanted to take the party back to my place."
Hitomi's face goes scarlet, and she brings her hands up to stifle a gasp, saying "Sayaka-san! You- You didn't!"
"What?" Hitomi's words give Sayaka pause, but once the gears in her head are working again, "No! Oh, gods no Hitomi! I mean, I thought the same thing at first when she said that, but it turns out she just wanted to check out my apartment. Geez, Hitomi, I'm not stupid or anything. I mean, yeah, we kissed, but we didn't go any farther than that."
"So what happened after that?" you ask. "What happened once Kyouko brought the party back to your place?"
"Well, mom was home, for once, so I introduced them to each other. They got along pretty well, and then we just, kinda, ate ice cream and watched terrible movies on TV for the rest of the night." Sayaka is smiling as she recounts her date; that's a good sign, probably. It doesn't sound like anything went too terrible, aside from not being able to see the movie they wanted to. "Then we kissed goodnight, she went home, and I went to bed; and now here I am telling all of you about it."
"You didn't offer to walk her home, Sayaka-san?" asks Hitomi in a clearly false indignation. Somehow, even though you never gave her the memo, it appears that she's decided to get in on the teasing just as well. "What a terrible way to treat a lady."
"We're both girls, Hitomi; and I mean, if I'd walked her home, then either I'd be walking home by myself, or Kyouko'd feel like she had to walk me home; either way, one of us was walking home by ourselves. At least Kyouko's able to take care of herself if something happens." Sayaka looks to you. She says nothing, but with that look in her eyes she doesn't have to. "But nothing's going to happen, right?" You nod.
"So..." Madoka approaches Sayaka, her face as innocent as an angel, but as slick as a devil she asks "Is Kyouko-chan a good kisser?"
"Compared to what? The goodnight kisses my mom used to give me when I was little? Yeah, probably. Maybe. I don't know." Then, just when victory appears near, Sayaka smirks, and turns the tables on you when she says "Of course, you're probably better off worrying about your own girlfriend's kisses, and leaving me and mine alone." Sayaka's retort leaves Madoka thoroughly scarlet-faced.
"So, while we're on the topic of dates," you say, trying to move the conversation away from an avenue you should have expected Sayaka would be able to turn to her advantage. "Hitomi, how was your evening with Kamijou Kyousuke?"
Even though she had been smiling just moments before, the mention of that boy's name still casts its shadow on Sayaka's face. You doubt she'll ever be over that boy. "It was pleasant, thank you for asking Akemi-san. I was helping Kamijou-kun get through some of the schoolwork he missed while he was in the hospital, though somewhere along the way we decided we'd rather watch a movie together, so that's how we spent our evening as well."
"And did you and Kyousuke-kun kiss goodnight as well?"
Hitomi shakes her head, sending her emerald locks bouncing as she responds to Madoka's question with a "No. I've already told Kamijou-kun that I intend to save our first kiss to celebrate his first recital after he's done with his physical therapy." Well, at least it's somewhat concerting to know that of all your be-coupled friends you aren't alone in lacking for the touch of your lover's lips.
Not like a certain other friend of yours, who you doubt could survive for one day without kissing her lover. And speaking of Kure Kirika... "Hey! What took you guys so long?" As always, she and Tomoe-san are waiting for the arrival of you and your friends. "We were waiting here a whole-" Kure Kirika checks the time on her phone, saying "-two minutes later than usual. What gives?"
"That would be my fault," you say, feigning an apologetic bow for the chocolate-haired girl. "I made the mistake of getting our group wrapped up in discussing Sayaka's date with Kyouko."
"Oh yeah, so how'd that work out for you two?" Kure Kirika asks, turning to Sayaka. "I told you, everything would go great, didn't it?"
"Yeah... I guess it did." Sayaka says, shuffling awkwardly before forcing herself to say "So, uh, thanks, for telling me it'd be alright. I actually had a lot of fun with Kyouko last night." It's good to see that there's no more tension in the air between those two, but you're doubtful that Sayaka will find it easy to speak to Kure Kirika for some time still.
"Oh, Kirika-chan! I almost forgot to tell you!" All eyes are on Madoka; yours included. What could Madoka need to tell Kure Kirika? "So last night, I learned that your mom works for my mom; and mama's all excited about inviting her, and Archer, and Homura-chan, and you to our house for dinner some time. Do you want to?"
Taken aback by Madoka's question, Kure Kirika can only scratch her head, saying "Uh... I dunno. I mean, thanks, I guess. I'll let my mom know she's invited, and see what she says."
The others file in through the main gate, leaving only you and Kure Kirika still standing around. "You know, Kaname Junko is only inviting Archer and myself because your mother has a crush on him."
"Yeah, I figured as much," Kure Kirika says.
"Knowing her, I'm sure she has some sort of plan to use this dinner as a way of setting up Archer and your mother."
"Again, I figured that was her plan."
"You know what that means, don't you? If our parents end up together, that'll make us step-sisters." You smirk, clapping Kure Kirika on the shoulder as you say to her "Well, then I guess I'll see you around, big sis." That sounded weird, and as you walk off, leaving Kure Kirika stunned, you wonder what compelled you to say that to her in the first place. Maybe Archer's rubbed off on you more than you realise.

--[X] Pay attention in class, but come to a realization based on the data points you have available to you
---[X] Something Miyuki mentioned is bothering you. She said she has a rash on the back of her hand where conveniently your own original Command Seals popped into existence, Oriko's previously mentioned marks appearing on a Puella Magi Master candidate she was about to kill, and Miyuki's known to be one of the Master candidates; could that rash be an indicator of her possibly getting closer to manifesting Command Seals and automatically summoning the last remaining Servant? In the first place such a rash should have healed already due to Miyuki being a Puella Magi, who have slightly enhanced natural healing factors, so the fact that she's had it since she was at the Church is suspect unless she's contracted some kind of super-virus or disease that's causing the rash

----[X] informing her that you kind of need an answer in regards to Saber sometime today, as it appears that one of the Shirome girls might be close to manifesting the ability to summon Saber
-----[X] None of the Shirome girls are really "allied" with you, and you only just came down off of preventing them from trying to kill Oriko without any bloodshed on either side, so you'd much prefer that none of them summon such a powerhouse of a Servant

----[X] asking her - in all seriousness - if she thinks that if Archer and her mom do get together, on whether or not the dragon will deliver them another child or if them already being there would be enough to prevent that from happening
--[X] After classes go to the Archery Club and do Archery Club things
---[X] Ask them if they'd be up for hanging out after school sometime this week when everyone's available
----[X] They could go out to the mall, go to some event that comes up, etc.
---[X] Ask Kasuga-san if he has his eyes on any other girls if things with Tomoe-san never come to fruition
----[X] Tease him by suggesting that he could always try to get to know Mochizumi-san better, since they spend so much time together here at the Archery Club as the Captain and Vice-Captain
You know, I just had a thought. Maybe Bazett is hiding from Rin to avoid her wrath? Rin would be a superior to Bazett after all, considering her status, and Bazet did kinda fail to prevent the situation from getting as bad as it was even though there was little she could do.
Also, Homura's likely never went through sex-ed yet, as she's only 13ish and she's been stuck in the hospital for much of her preteen time. That is how I justify the stork question.

Shh, you're not supposed to say anything, you baka.
And Homura knows this how? Are you sure you aren't just meta knowledge'ing Homura right now?
She turned 14 just last month, and the only things she knows about sex-ed came from the talk Archer gave to her. Archer's not a complete idiot; he probably went over how babby is formed, and if he didn't he would have at least told her, according to this brave soul,

You mean aside from the incredible amount of hints that's been basically thrown at Homura's face for much of this quest? Like how Oriko references those marks on Puella Magi Master Candidates appearing right before she tries to kill them? Like how the "rash" is conveniently where Homura's own Command Seals manifested? Like how Puella Magi bodies should automatically and easily heal overnight basic blemishes and very minor injuries like rashes (since Puella Magi actually have a minor innate healing factor, aside from their ability to heal themselves using their own magical energy)? Let's be real, Homura isn't that much of an anime protagonist.
That's a very good point, changed "stork" to "dragon". There's no way Archer would elaborate more than what was necessary in order to explain things to Homura, nor is he brave enough to tell her the details of actual sexual reproduction. It is literally a plot point that Shirou (in the VN) sucks at explaining things and that he explains things in a way that could be interpreted differently (not to mention how much that's helped him accidentally romance Saber/Rin/Sakura in all of the routes). Shirou is the anti-Tohsaka at exposition.

Oh, so now you pick up on the hints I throw at Homura. What, was the reveal that Oriko and Caren were related not good enough for you? /sarcasm
She may not be an anime protagonist, but she's not Sherlock Holmes either, and your vote doesn't even attempt to go through the same logical process that rash = Command Seal as what you just told me. Somehow we just know that Miyuki's going to summon Saber if we don't conscript Hitomi right now; and if she doesn't want the responsibility, who's an alternative we can trust that would also be willing to take the job? Sayaka has no ability to keep a servant fed, and for all her magical energy Madoka's been pretty hesitant to take the plunge, so who's left? Are we going to ask Caren if we can trust her far enough not to throw her?

To be fair, that's much more obvious due to that happening very specifically on the first morning in the VN.
(I'm sorry for not getting the Oriko-Caren connection until the reveal, I get it
)But yeah, edited in Homura putting together the data points during a brief moment in class. Also as to who Homura's gonna try and convince to summon Saber if Hitomi refuses, we'll get to that when it comes to it (aka I don't want to bloat the vote even further with a bunch of possibilities that may or may not be applicable depending on Hitomi's answer).

Then forget the bloat, and just spitball some people you think we could/should consider for the role.

Oh, this is going to be fun.
Firstly to address the obvious, Sayaka. Absolute worst case, we have a Shirou situation, we keep Saber out of possible enemy/unallied hands, and Team Homura & Kirika could top Saber off with magical energy once Homura gets better at Inguz.
Next we have Madoka. She doesn't have to fight, she could just happily let Saber leech off her infinity-1 magical energy reserves, and Madoka gets a 24/7 protector. Win-win, right? And I'm sure Homura could probably convince Madoka, since Madoka would be able to help keep her girlfriend safe while Homura's doing Puella Magi stuff via Saber, and she doesn't have to do anything frightening or fight.
Thirdly, Caster. There's no way that he couldn't summon a False Saber a la what Medea did by virtue of his absurdity, Gate of Babylon shenanigans, and/or 'Sha Naqba Imuru'ing his way to doing something similar to Medea, 'nuff said.
Fourthly, we could always go down the fun route and uplift a new Anime protagonist of our own by having Homura/Archer scout the Archery Club for latent Magic Circuits. Of course, there's a reason this is so down here on this list.
I'm sure I could think of more possibilities eventually (most of which would involve OCs/other outside Puella Magi/other Fuyuki/Moonlit World denizens), but I'm gonna cut myself off here for now as to not spend too much time making this post.

[X] Talk to Hitomi about summoning Saber at some point today.
Putting aside whether or not Homura would pick up and the importance of Miyuki's rash she does know that she needs to get Saber sorted out in the near future and would want to see if Hitomi has come to a decision sooner rather than later.

I've already got a Saber in mind for Sayaka, for back when my earlier plans still had her making a contract. This wouldn't be too difficult to work with, outside of Sayaka having shit for ability to feed her servant.
I'm hesitant about this one, because it means I'd have to figure out who Madoka should be summoning as a Saber. I'd also have to figure out why Madoka wouldn't accidentally supercharge the summoning and end up with Buddha, or Jesus, or someone who isn't a Saber that would inordinately and unfairly tip the balance of power to our side and cause me to have to turn Walpol into an ungodly monstrosity just to compensate.
I suppose there wouldn't be any limitations on who Caster could summon, then. This would be my "go crazy and pick whoever" option, wouldn't it?
This one is not going to happen. We've already got a large enough cast as it is, and it's hard enough as is for me to balance everyone's interactions. Saber is just about the last one I can fit in without making it completely impossible for me to handle writing enough interactions with/for everyone so that no one feels left out or undeveloped.

Hey, at least we know from F/SN that a Servant's magical energy reserves come out of the Grail fully charged, and they don't deplete naturally (but rather slowly rise through things like eating) overtime. The amount initially stored would depend on their Mana stat, I suppose.
What if we get Madoka to summon Saber before opening her Magic Circuits? You could just have Archer chime in to say that her summoning a Servant with that much unrestrained magical energy would be prone to incidents of the explosive variety.
As long as Madoka properly makes a contract - even if she wouldn't be supplying magical energy at the start - she would still be able to supply as much magical energy as she wants once her circuits are opened, unlike Shirou in F/SN who got a whole botched non-ritual Grail-induced forced summon.
I would say that he would probably summon a Wraith like Medea was only able to do, however this is Gilgamesh we're talking about. He definitely has a way to summon regular Servants as False ones, even if that Servant's name will probably be Artoria Pendragon (who he would know from Sha Naqba Imuru showing him what his Archer incarnation had been up to).

A master that can't supply mana to their servant.
Gilgamesh. A Caster-class servant summoning a false servant. King Arthur as this War's Saber.
EMIYA as the Archer servant of the War.
A wraith false Assassin used as a catalyst to summon True Assassin.
You really want to turn this into a repeat of the 5th HGW, don't you?
A method that can employ for the supply of mana is to share the contract. A servant with two masters or to be supply with mana from another source. Sayaka could keep the command seal while the mana could be supply by another person. This was what Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald done with his fiance Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri in Fuyuki Fouth Holy Grail in Fate/Zero and the Black Faction with their homoculus prana networks from Fate/Apocrypha.
Gigamesh would be able to summon a proper servant, unlike Medea. In Fate/Grand Order, Gigamesh from Babylonia Singularity, was able to summon an entire set of servants to aid him in the defence of Uruk. The only question that is unknown is that whether he summon them with the Mystics Codes and magical resources from his Gate or he summon them with his Holy Grail. The Gate of Babylonia is confirmed to possess a Holy Grail within it in canon.

That's... a very good idea. Of course such a method isn't exactly well known, nor would Homura and co be able to research how to properly do such a thing in a reasonable amount of time, but if they ask Caster how to do it and he complies that could definitely work.
Pretty sure SVS already confirmed that Caster doesn't have a Holy Grail in his GoB. Actually, also pretty sure it was confirmed in canon that the Grail, when summoning Gilgamesh as a Servant, specifically excludes anything Grail-breaking (get it?) to prevent things from going awry, not to mention the tons of restrictions since the first couple Grail Wars that the Founders had to implement to make sure no Servant goes rogue and mucks things up.
We could ask advise from Rin as well. Rin a decent enough magus that she could likely within a day able to alter the summoning ritual enough to make it possible.
Only in certain scenarios that a neft on Gil will be apply. The only nelfing that had happen to him in canon was Fate Extra and Fate Strange Fake. Most of the time he have access to his full power and he intentional held back on their usage. As a Archer it was because of his pride. As a Caster it because of his maturity and wisdom.
"Hey Rin, you always wanted a Saber right?"

Rin, and to a lesser extent Archer, are the only ones that would be likely to know this; and depending on how well-known Fastwheel's little trick was, maybe not even. I know I brought this up as a possible way to help out whoever summons Saber, but even I have to admit that it would be pretty difficult for the girls to know this was a thing without us bombarding them with meta-information.
Certain scenarios such as "the quest writer doesn't want him to."
While I am not immediately opposed to the idea of Gil breaking the system to have a single servant at his disposal, if it absolutely must come to that, there is no way that I'm going to let Gil exercise the power to summon an entire faction of servants for us. Or let him use a Grail. Or nuclear submarines. Not only would that completely break the balance of power in half, it would also overburden my ability to write for everybody by introducing another seven new characters when we're already working with a full-sized cast as it is.
Save it for the sequel if you want to see another faction.
*Ahem* "I WANT BAEBER! GIVE HER TO ME!"
