[color=SpringGreen]“Welp, looks like it’s time to get goin’,”[/color] Mia announced after checking her wristwatch. [color=SpringGreen]“You ready for the big party, little sis?”[/color]

[color=DarkOrchid]“Gosh, is that really tonight?!”[/color] Connie asked, clearly surprised at how quickly the day had arrived.

[color=SpringGreen]“Sure is,”[/color] her friend confirmed. [color=SpringGreen]“So, have you picked out anything special, or are you just gonna go with your regular magical girl look?”[/color]

[color=DarkOrchid]“Umm… Just my regular look, I guess… I mean, that’s what I always look like when I’m doing… umm… magical girl… stuff…”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]“Yeah, same here,”[/color] Mia replied. [color=SpringGreen]“There’s no way I’d want anyone to know [i]I[/i] was actually ‘Gaia, Daughter of Mother Earth’.”[/color]

[color=DarkOrchid]“Oh, gosh, in that case I’ll try my best to only call you Gaia at the party.”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]“Ah, don’t worry about it,”[/color] Mia said with a grin, while she ruffled her friend’s hair. [color=SpringGreen]“You can still call me Mia. I mean, there’re probably dozens of girls with that name. Just don’t use my [i]last[/i] name, okay?”[/color] she added with a wink.

[color=DarkOrchid]“O-Oh, okay! Sure! I can totally do that! I-I mean, not do that! I mean…!”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]“[i]Relax[/i], Connie,”[/color] Mia told her soothingly as she placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. [color=SpringGreen]“Everything’s gonna be fine, I promise.”[/color]

With that, Mia gave voice to her incantation and was once more transformed into her verdant magical girl appearance. 

[color=SpringGreen]“Now then,”[/color] Gaia said as she twirled gracefully towards the bedroom window, [color=SpringGreen]“shall we be off?”[/color]

[color=DarkOrchid]“Y-Yeah!”[/color] Connie confirmed having changed into her magical girl form as well. [color=DarkOrchid]“Let’s go!”[/color]

...

The trip seemed to fly by in a blur. Before Connie knew it, she and Mia had arrived at the location for the rave, a large warehouse in an abandoned section of town. Faith, Lotus and their friends were waiting for them outside. After some brief introductions and exchanges of pleasantries, they all made their way inside, where Connie was more than a little taken aback by the sheer number of people present. And the [i]types[/i] of people. There were the expected [url=https://i.imgur.com/I8ISULZ.jpg]dark magical[/url] and [url=https://i.imgur.com/RNuNhHz.jpg]monster[/url] girls, of course, but there were also girls who looked [url=https://i.imgur.com/mMnHvgP.png]relatively normal[/url]. [url=https://i.imgur.com/Pg1wm2z.jpg?1]Heroic[/url], even.

Before leaving to chat with someone named Cindy, Faith had explained to Connie that the guards she had assigned to her would be mingling with the other party guests in an unobtrusive manner, but would always be alert to any signs of danger. Not that she expected any, she reassured the easily frightened girl. This was, after all, a party, a place of relaxation and fun. Despite their sometimes terrifying appearances, no one here was likely to cause Connie any harm. Accepting the fairy girl’s assurances, Connie and Mia set out to explore the rave’s venue, and hopefully meet some new friends along the way.
