[Mami and Madoka are walking through Charlotte's labyrinth to find Sayaka and Kyubey.]
Mami, I uh...
Yes?
I've been thinking really hard about all the different wishes I could make.
Do you have a favorite?
Yes...but you're probably gonna think it's naïve and get upset with me...
Let's find out: what's the wish?
Well...there's nothing special about me...I've never been good at school and I've never had any talents...I'm scared that this is the way my life's gonna stay. Always asking for help and not being able to help when people need it...I can't stand thinking about it...But then I met you, Mami. And you showed me what it's like to stand up for people and really help them. And then, when I found out that I might be able to do the same thing, I don't think I've been happier in my life. And that's my wish, 'cause if I could become a magical girl, it'd be a dream come true for me. I might not be good at anything, but if I could help out people like you, I could be proud of the way I live. That's the best thing I could wish for.
It won't be easy. You will get hurt. You won't have time to go on dates or have fun with your friends.
I know, but after seeing you doing your best, I really look up to you, Mami.
I don't deserve it. You need a better role model.
Huh?
I just pretend to be cool. When I get scared or hurt, there's no one I can talk to. All I can do is cry on my own. It's not fun...being a magical girl...
I hear you, Mami, but you're not alone anymore.
You're right. I'm not alone. [Holds Madoka's hands and starts tearing up.] I found someone who's willing to fight by my side from now on! Will you really stay with me?
Yes. If someone like me will do.
[Wipes away tears.] Oh, look at this. It isn't the sort of behavior you'd expect from a role model, is it? I'm not very good at this sort of things, am I?
Mami...
Anyway, make sure you know what you want. A chance like this doesn't come around too often.
Yeah, I know. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing!
It is a contract, after all, so you might as well try and get something out of the deal. You could wish to be a billionaire or you could wish for the perfect boyfriend...
Yeah, I know but...
Okay, how about this? If you can't decide for something to wish for by the time I finish off this witch, we'll have a feast and you can ask Kyubey for a fabulous cake!
Huh?! Seriously?!
Yes! You can ask for the biggest and most extravagant cake ever! Then we can throw a party for everyone! A celebration to announce the two of us becoming a magical girl duo!
But I...I can't do something like that for a cake!
Then decide on something you want.
...For a cake...?
