thanks vivi for reviewing

It's Quiet, but Not Lonely

Mami: "That takes care of the cleaning! I'm sure it will be hectic until morning, so it's better to be prepared."

Mami
[Today I've invited all my kouhai over for a pajama party!]
[If they're to enjoy this to the fullest, I need to provide the utmost hospitality!]

Madoka & Sayaka
Sorry for the intrusion!

Mami
Welcome!

Madoka
It's been a while since we've had a pajama party, huh!

Homura
Yeah! It's exciting to stay here with all of you.

Kyouko
I'm not big on the whole noisy crowd thing,
but if you're goin' through all this trouble for us, then acceptin' the invitation's the polite thing to do.

Sayaka
Hey, Kyouko!
It doesn't matter how many times Mami-san invites you, you can't just keep leaving all the work to her!

Mami
Huhuhu...it's okay, Miki-san.
And Sakura-san, don't you worry.
There's all sorts of sweets, tea, and fun games prepared
for us to enjoy all night, so there won't be any time to turn out the lights!

Madoka
Mami-san, this cake is so delicious!

Kyouko
No, seriously, I could eat this all the time!

Mami
Thank you.
The effort to make it paid off.

Homura
B-But is it okay to be eating so many sweets in the middle of the night?

Sayaka
Ah~, sweets right before bed is a quick ticket to getting fat, isn't it.
Guess I'll stop with this last one.

Mami
Oh, that's too bad.
I was thinking of making the perfect tea to go with this cake just now.

Sayaka
.....
M-maybe just one more then!

Homura
I-I suppose so...!

---

Kyouko
Check it - Joker! And three-of-a-kind sevens!
No one's topping that, am I right?

Sayaka
How naive you are, Kyouko.
Here comes a revolution - three-of-a-kind eights and four-of-a-kind fives!

Kyouko
Wha! Seriously!?

Sayaka
Hu hu hu. Looks like that makes me the rich girl now...

Mami
Then we'll just have to return the revolution, won't we?

Sayaka
Ehhh?

Homura
This is the 3rd time a revolution has been returned...

Madoka
Mami-san, you're amazing!

Mami
Well? Will you match me again?

Kyouko
...Ahh, I guess I'm done. I'm gettin' worn-out.

Mami
Then what shall we do next?
Stargazing? Our nails? Pillow fight? Board game?

Kyouko
Oi, just how much stuff did you prepare...
I mean, it's already past 1 A.M. and I'm gettin' pretty tired...

Sayaka
Hmm~...is it time to tuck the little one into bed?

Kyouko
Haa!?

Mami
...Huhuhu.
There's still plenty of night left, so let's continue the fun!

Madoka
Suu...suu...
(...H-huh?)
(Am I...on the sofa?)
(That means we...all fell asleep!?)

Mami
.....

Madoka
(Mami-san... She doesn't look well?)
Could this mean...

Mami
――っ!?
K-Kaname-san!?

Madoka
Mami-san...are you okay?
You must be tired of taking care of us...

Mami
...Eh? Ahh - it's nothing!
Nevermind that, let me get you a hot drink.

---

Mami
Huu...that was close...
(It's not that I'm tired of it, it's just...)
[I wanted to have a good time with everyone tonight...]
[When I'm awake and alone, the quiet room just feels so huge, and the sounds of every little electronic strain my ears.]
[I thought this would be another of those nights where I would feel that loneliness...]
(...I couldn't possibly tell her that, though.)

Madoka
Mami-san, I'm going to help you too.

Mami
Kaname-san...

Madoka
To help you sleep well,
please let me show my hospitality to you this time, Mami-san.

Mami
.....
Huhu, thank you.
Then let's have this drink and be off to bed.
[The pajama party ended much quieter than I was expecting, but to be cared for on a night like this, maybe it isn't so bad.]
