Kyoko would look left and right after leaving school to make sure she wasn’t being followed before weaving through the streets of town. Somewhere along the way she picked up an interloper, but it was just that sweet girl with pink hair from school who seemed to think she was stealthy.

“Madoka, I know it’s you."

Giggling softly, she would step out from behind a nearby tree and walk alongside Kyoko as the redhead made her way to her secret garden. Originally something between a joke and an attempt at a hobby, this well-hidden field of flowers was now a labor of love.

Originally Madoka had come along to help care for the many flowers, but it became clear pretty quickly that she didn’t know the first thing about caring for plants. She was so excited and happy to be around them that Kyoko didn’t have the heart to kick her out of the garden though.

Instead she allowed her cute companion to put her own kind of help to work. She liked to play music for the flowers, insisting it really did help them grow if she played just the right things. She also liked to give each flower a name and backstory, something which amused Kyoko to no end.

"So who’s this one?”

“That’s Percy. She’s the mom of the group and likes to make sure the others are okay."

"And this one?”

“That’s Mad- Err… Madison."

This particular flower was pink and white with lovely petals, it reminded Kyoko a lot of Madoka. This was the most well cared-for flower in the entire garden, something Madoka had taken notice of. She often wondered about what that meant, since the flower was pretty but not especially different from the others in the garden.

"What does Madison want to tell me?”

“T-that she appreciates the care you give her even though she’s just one flower among many.”

The redhead would smile and water the flower, getting a wicked little grin on her face as she sprinkled a little in Madoka’s hair as well. Letting out a little squeal of surprise, Madoka would put on a childish pout and step away slightly.

“Why did you do that?”

“Gotta keep all my pretty flowers watered."

Blushing slightly at the compliment, Madoka would notice as Kyoko came after her with intent to water her hair again. After getting sprinkled on again, she would begin to run around the outside of the field giggling and laughing with the redhead in pursuit.
