"I'd say you did plenty," Miria said with a gesture toward the unconscious pink team.  "Unless those guys weren't also your doing."  

There was a pause while Mr. Raptor introduced himself.  Not the most original name, bit not like Miria was really one to talk, there.  He didn't really stick around long, but did leave the crate he'd secured behind, and got a "you can count on me!" to see him off.  She took a seat on the crate to continue the conversation.  

"I thought magical girls were just a thing on children's television shows.  I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised with everything else going on in this town."  And there go the comments Maple's probably already had far too often.  "And you use magic."  So she was mistaken.  Magic...was probably worse.  Another variable to worry about, certainly.  And just something that made Earth curiouser and curiouser.  

"I suppose I shouldn't pry too much into how your magic works, but I am curious.  It's not like magic is something one just sees every day.  I guess you're another of the heroes running around Grailham, then?"

"Whether it be on children's television shows or in real life, a magical girl's mission will always be the same - to bring smiles to everyone!" Miracle Maple gave Miria a wink, "if there's trouble in Grailham, I'll be there! Because that's what heroes do!"

Kaede woke up on fine morning, still groggy from a good night's sleep.

"She said I did plenty, Trinity!"

"Yeah yeah, just eat your damn breakfast already, you've got a whole day ahead of you," Trinity sighs.

After which, Kaede would check the old snail mail.

"Would you look at that, Trinity!" Kaede squeals, "there's a new cafe! And they've got directions! I say we check it out before I invite any friends there!"

"You have friends?" Trinity raised a brow (or equivalent).

Kaede gave Trinity a deadpan look, before looking away and returning to the house to prepare to head out.

[hr]
"This is the place. They boast some pretty good strawberry shortcake!"

"They also boast subpar graphic design," Trinity adds, "actually, what part of this looks like a cafe?"

"Yeah, good point," Kaede says, then speaks to a random man that just so happened to be Greg, "excuse me, Mister, where's the cafe?"

"Right this way, Miss."

"I'm a boy."

"... apologies. Mister."

With that, Kaede was lead into a room, where he was locked in ans immediately greeted with a rude display of kunai launchers - the road ahead blocked by them. Kaede's eyes widen.

"I think I've established that I am not dying until I get a girlfriend," Kaede utters.

"No you haven't," Trinity replies.

"I did now!" Kaede says, whipping out a bracelet, before taking a red-coloured trinket out.

"Maple Driver, activate! Insert Maple Stamp!"

"Sparkle~ Sparkle~" the 'Maple Driver' spoke in response.

"Enter Inferno Stance!"

"Strawberry Blaze~" the 'Maple Driver' continued to contradict his words.

"HENSHIN!"

"Change~"

A blazing typhoon surrounded him as he rushed forward, the sheer power of his transformation melting the kunai and obliterating all the machines. When the flames dispersed, a magical girl with a ponytail that fluttered like flames appeared.

"We did this joke already, didn't we?" Miracle Maple said as she looked at the burnt, charred and melted kunai launchers. "Oh right, one more thing - MAGICAL GIRL MIRACLE MAPLE: INFERNO STANCE!"

A pose was struck by instinct.
