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.

"I'll call him."
Bella calls her dad. "Hi Dad. Yeah, Solvei's over. Mm-hm. Right in one, is that okay if it's okay with her aunt? Yeah, there's plenty. Sure. Thanks, Dad. Love you too."
She hangs up. "Sleepover is a go on this end."

"I'll call Ghys."
She calls Ghys and talks to her in Thulic. Ghys is glad she seems to be feeling better now. Ghys asks her just what she expects to be doing at this sleepover. Solvei giggles and protests innocence. The call ends.
"Well, she felt the need to make a dirty joke about it, but she's not suspicious and she's not upset and I'm allowed to stay over, so let's call that a win."

"We are not supposed to have my bedroom door closed if we're in there together, incidentally."

"Really? He knows we're only fake dating, right? He was there when we had the conversation."

"Yes, but he knows I'm a real lesbian. This is just the first time I've had a girl over at his house, my mom doesn't have this rule."

"I'm not usually this social," says Bella. "Nor have this much contact with the teenage social scene in Forks, since in the past I've only been here summers. So I wasn't sure how he'd jump - before I came out the rule was boys, but the stated justification was that they could get me pregnant, and he didn't update it till now."
gloriousdawn
"I cannot get you pregnant," says Solvei. "Or at least that would be a really unhelpful use of magic."
onceandforall
"So unhelpful. Don't wish me pregnant. I could have an argument with him about the logic of this rule but we aren't actually dating, he'll trust me to the point of not requiring that he be home whenever you're here, etcetera."
gloriousdawn
"Yeah. But it would be nice if we could have the behind-closed-doors kind of conversation even when he was home. What with all the magic going around. ...I wonder what the reproductive status of magical girls is in general? I mean, Ghyslaine looks the same age now that she did in 1801, something is clearly going on with her biology..."
onceandforall
"I mean, she healed me from worse than wrinkles and arthritis, maybe she just freshens up annually or something. ...We could try having conversations telepathically if Kyubey will relay but we don't know if she can eavesdrop."
onceandforall
"Yeah. Think this batch of questions justifies calling it over? Charlie will be at work for another hour or so."
gloriousdawn
"I think if the 'teleport small objects' line of inquiry pans out, I'll know what my wish is going to be. So sure."
onceandforall
"Right. I'll yell at him in my mind in case she can eavesdrop and my voice is less suspicious than yours."
Kyuuuuuubey. C'mere.
Kyuuuuuubey. C'mere.
And there is its face at the window. Hello! Have you chosen your wishes?
gloriousdawn
"We're still thinking about it," says Solvei. "And we have some questions."
I don't mind, says Kyubey, and it hops into Bella's lap and lets her pet its fluffy tail.

Solvei giggles. She sits next to Bella and also pets Kyubey's fluffy tail.
"Let's see, what were some of the things we were going to ask... can we wish for something that's more like 'I want this specific magic power' than like 'I want this specific thing to happen'?"
"Let's see, what were some of the things we were going to ask... can we wish for something that's more like 'I want this specific magic power' than like 'I want this specific thing to happen'?"
You can! What you wish for will affect what magic you're best at even if you don't wish for a power, but if you do it's guaranteed.
Magical girls can do a lot of different things if they pay the cost to their soul gems to do it. They can change and move objects that are near them, and create weapons of their signature style to fight witches, and heal, and make their bodies faster and stronger and more agile than a normal human's body.

"And wishing for a power makes it... cost less than it would have otherwise? What determines how much less?"
