Mami was far too focused on getting where she was going, than thinking that any snooping roommates would be following her out into the night. Taking the Gem out of her hair, Mami held it in her hand, squeezing down on the strange warmth of the magical trinket.

Looking everywhere, Mami was searching for the entrance to the barrier. It should be nearby, she thought, feeling that telltale pull of a Witch. First, she might as well transform, to keep herself safe from attacks. Looking around for anyone watching, Mami squeezed on her Gem and started her transformation. Her clothes vanished, replaced by ribbons spiraled all around her body, squeezing just a little tight until they seemed to pop and become her magical girl outfit. All Mami had to do was adjust her hat a little to finish her transformation.
