"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."
- Homuras ringtone, installed on the phones of all her daughters acquaintances.
Sayaka watched bemused as Homura finished up a 'conversation' on the phone.
"... I will find you, and I
will kill you."
A moment of silence.
"
Understood?"
"YES MA'AM I'M SORRY MA'AM-" yelled a voice from the other side of the line, "I WONT BOTHER YOU OR ANYONE WITHIN A GENETIC DISTANCE OF FOUR-"
"Five."
"-OF FIVE FROM YOU, MA'AM, HAVE A GOOD DAY MA'AM!"
Homura sighed, putting the phone away and raising an eyebrow at Sayaka's glare.
"I can't believe you," scoffed the blue haired woman, "I'm pretty sure that guy just wanted to help out, you didn't have to hunt down his number and scare a year of his life off him."
Purple eyes
smoldered. "Are you implying Madoka and I can't take care of our own baby girl?"
But Sayaka just shrugged her off. "You
can't go on with your life without making mountains out of every single anthill you come across, can you?"
Homura turned off the glare, recognizing it wouldn't affect the bleunette. "I'm not taking parenting advice from
you, Miki Sayaka."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Both women turned to watch Kyouko sitting at a bench a few metres away, who in turn was watching a little blue haired boy, who was currently inching carefully away from a angry, hissing cat.
"Moooooooooom!" squealed the little boy.
"I'm no helicopter mama," scoffed Kyouko, munching on a breadstick, "sink or swim, kid."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the kid continued to backpedal frantically from the terrifying, declawed house cat.
Homura's eye twitched as she noticed Sayaka subtly pumping her fists.
"Come on boy, punch back," she murmured, watching intently, "don't let that cat scare you."
"I rest my case," muttered Homura.
"Good afternoon," said Oriko and Kirika, passing by. "Say hello," told Kirika to the girl walking in between the two, holding onto each of their hands.
Said girl turned to Homura and Sayaka, looking up at them with huge, shining eyes. "Hullo!" she yelled.
Homura and Sayaka smiled at the girl and her moms, the picture of a completely normal, healthy, happy family.
"Good afternoon, Kures."
"Hello tike, hey Kirika, Oriko."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the Kure family moved on.
Kyouko looked back after the Kure left, sharing a
look with Sayaka and Homura.
"Those gals are
weird," she said.
Her wife and her friend nodded.
"Mom!" the three turned to the little boy, who held the purring house cat in arms. "I made a new friend."
"... Good job!" Kyouko ruffled her son's hair.
