Madoka held a thousand memories in the palms of her hands.

Some of them were colored in black, in sadness. A memory of a bunny, moving out of town, leaving his five friends behind. Another memory, where two girls who didn't know any better die while fighting each other. A boy going to college, leaving his stuffed animals behind. Girls so scared to face the future that they end up killing each other, knowing it won't help.

Some of the other black memories were filled with anger. The same two girls, fighting over what was right: justice or selfishness, in front of a friend. A rabbit, the same one, yelling at a tiger-like animal for ruining his carrots. A dark haired girl, trying to kill an immortal creature because it had hurt her friends so much. Bees stinging a little bear for wanting some of their hunny.

Those memories that were painted black made her sad, but it wasn't like she didn't see any happy white memories.

There was the memory of Homura running up to her in class, yelling, "I became a magical girl! Now we can fight witches together!" There was the memory of a group of a group of stuffed animals sitting around the fireplace, telling stories and celebrating Christmas together. There was the memory of Kyoko saying, "Want to team up to save Sayaka, Madoka?" There was the memory of everyone and their relatives trying to pull Pooh Bear out of Rabbit's door. There was the memory of Mami saying, "You...you'll really stay with me? To fight witches, so I'm not alone anymore?" There was the memory of Pooh and Piglet trying to catch a Heffalump with hunny. There was the memory of Sayaka saving Madoka's life. All of these memories in white, lightening up the world that was tainted with black memories, until the world wasn't just white or black anymore.

It was grey.

Okay, okay, I get it, my one-shot is short (Trust Me will be too, I promise). But this is actually foreshadowing some events that will happen in my Week 12 one-shot: Finale, which will be a Winnie-the-Pooh/The World Ends With You crossover. Also, just warning you, Finale will be extremely sad. It just will be. And possibly be a little too soon, but this is a story I have wanted to write for a while, albeit not in this form, but still. In any case, I hope you liked this! - Element
