[There's a cute pink box with an amulet inside. The card says "Happy Belated Birthday". Homura leaves it for Madoka on the side of the bed so she can find it when she wakes up.
She herself is in the kitchen, reading something and drinking tea.]
[Madoka still hesitates when she reaches out to take the box. Mochi walks in, having heard that she's awake and jumps to purr and cuddle all over Madoka, who smiles gently and softly as she pets the cute kitten.]
Good morning, Mochi. Is Homura-chan awake already?
[or more like is she somewhere in the apartment but whatever. Not like Madoka is expecting the kitten to answer anything, she just loves talking to everyone including animals!!]
[And then the kitten meows an answer but instead of meows, Madoka can understand that Homura is in the kitchen.]
Oh, okay, that's g--
[ . . . CHOTTO WAIT A SECOND!! It's not like it's her first time meeting a talking animal but... it's been a while.]
MOCHI, YOU CAN TALK???!!!
[SINCE WHEN??? Yeah, she still hasn't opened the box and so it still hasn't clicked to her but since she is holding the box, the amulet works already.]
[Homura got Madoka a present of a huge kitten plushie, as well some very cute hair accessories. The most important, though, is the message attached to the kitten plushies ribbon.
It says
"Madoka, I want to ask you something. Whenever you're ready. - Homura"]
[Homura is setting up a Cat Changing Tree (A cat tree for your pets or companion creatures that rearranges itself every so often so it won't get boring.) as well as twopurchases from the charity auction into their living room before Madoka comes home.
The cats are very interested in the box the cat tree came in, of course.]

Five more minutes, okay?
[... Talking to absolutely no one because she's all alone in the room and falling back to sleep.]
or make it 4
Eeeeeeeh, a present?! . . . For me?
[What if it's for someone else? (Really, Madoka, why would it be for anyone else when it's in your room and there's the card too??)]

You might wish to look inside the box before jumping into conclusions, Madoka.

[Yes, yes, Mochi is fine. Surprised by that those sudden loud words from Madoka but absolutely, totally fine and convincing that to Madoka too.]
Good morning, Homura-chan, I hope we didn't wake you up. [ . . . Realizing what she said.] Eeehh? To the box?
[Madoka opens the box, gently and carefully and gasps as soon as she sees the amulet there.]
Oh my gosh, Homura-chan, is this really....?
[The animal amulet, that she has been talking about but hasn't gotten to herself or from anyone until now.]

Yes. I visited the store and decided to get it while there. I figured it would be a purrfect birthday present.
