Bella moves. It's uneventful. She's not thrilled with the rain.
New kid shows up at the high school the next day. Hello, the high school. Hello, the students in the high school.
Hello, Jessica.
Jessica's very talkative. It's almost hypnotic.
"So what's Arizona like?"
"Well, sunnier."
"I bet! Wow, have you ever seen snow before?"
"On TV."
"Ha ha ha! Oh man is everybody really tan? Do you hang out at the pool all year round ogling boys?"
"I'm a little too gay to ogle boys."
"Oh! Oh wow. Okay. So um, I know this is a really small town, but guess what?" says Jessica.
"What?" asks Bella.
"We actually have a lesbian here! HEY SOLVEI!" Jessica hollers across the entire cafeteria.

She shakes her head.
"There's a shortage of people who know I exist and need to call me something. I - this will no doubt sound scintillatingly crazy, but - I talk to Solvei sometimes, and she's tried to think of something to call me, but neither of us came up with anything that really stuck."

"Of ways you could have gone crazy, considering, that one sounds reasonably functional."

"So, like, I have been friends with Solvei, and now this is sort of weird, and apparently my life was saved by an evil person with magical powers and that is also weird, and apart from sort of noting those things the rest of my brain is all I want magic powers so bad."
There is a silhouette at the window.

Not-Solvei freezes when the view out the window changes in her peripheral vision.

And Bella looks around when not-Solvei goes still.
"Wh-"
Oh.
Bella draws the curtain aside.
"What is that."
"Wh-"
Oh.
Bella draws the curtain aside.
"What is that."
My name is Kyubey! says a voice in their heads. May I come in and talk to you?
I am! You can just speak to me in your mind, like this.
If you direct your thoughts at me, I will be able to hear them. It doesn't matter very much right now, but it would be useful if we wanted to talk privately somewhere in front of normal people.
I want you to form a contract with me and become magical girls!
onceandforall
"Why now, why us, what's the catch, can you read thoughts that aren't directed at you, and how big a wish can you cough up?"
Well, says Kyubey, you both have the potential to become magical girls! Working together could help you, too. I can only read thoughts that are directed at me. And a wish can be anything! But I'm not allowed to offer any suggestions, and when you contract for whatever you most wish for, you agree to become a magical girl, and fight witches.
Once you are a magical girl, you will need to fight witches. The contract is that you will receive a wish in exchange for that.
You would need a lot of magical potential for that! There are girls with more and less natural talent and neither of you could sustain a wish that size. But it could still be amazing, far beyond what most humans think of.

"If we tell you something we want, how well can you guess whether we have enough magical potential to get it?"
Very well! I have to be able to do that to do my job.
