"Uhm, a-a-ano?" asked a very uncertain Hinata.
POOF! a dragon blinked where Hinata had stood a moment ago.
"Red dragon," said Toltiir. "Fire breathing and immune to flames. Very useful, I'd think."
"I-I really don't think this is-" began Hinata.
"Oh, that's right, you're one of the good guys," said Toltiir. "Okay. How about-
POOF!
"Uhm," said the black dragon.
"No? How about this then?"
PIFF! The three headed dragon blinked and two heads looked uncertainly at herself. "-but?"
Puff!
"Uhm, excuse me?" said the silver dragon. "I really don't think that this is really 'me.'"
"Why not?" asked Toltiir. "The roll came up 'Magical Girlfriend' after all."
"Magical girlfriend like in manga?" asked Kushina Uzumaki.
"Y-y-yes, what does it actually mean?" asked Hinata, absolutely not blushing or twiddling her foreclaws as she considered being Naruto's 'girlfriend' - but this was an awfully weird dream she found herself in.
POOF! an oddly dressed girl appeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hi, I'm Wikipe-tan!" said the girl. "Who summoned me?"
"I did," said Toltiir. "Definition of 'Magical Girlfriend'?"
"Are you sure you don't want Tropes-tan?" asked Wikipe-tan.
"You're fine," said Toltiir.
"Okay," said Wikipe-tan. "A magical girlfriend (also referred to as exotic girlfriend or supernatural lover) is a female character often associated with romantic comedy anime series,and is sometimes considered a genre of its own, or as the leading lady of the "fantastic romance" genre, which combines the fantasy and romance genres. As their name implies, magical girlfriends typically have unusual powers compared to regular people, magical or otherwise. They feature more heavily in seinen than shonen stories."
"Oh, so my Byakugan?" asked Hinata.
"No, that's common within this ninja world and village. In order to stand out you'd have to have uncommon abilities," said Wikipe-tan. "Ahem. The term 'magical girlfriend' is used loosely, indicating just that the character is a 'romantic interest' of fantastic or science-fiction origins. These sources can be supernatural (Oh My Goddess!), extraterrestrial (Urusei Yatsura, Please Teacher!), or technological (A.I. Love You, Chobits). Regardless of origin, magical girlfriends usually have extraordinary abilities and/or access to an unusual source of power. Unlike a magical girl who primarily uses her powers to fight evil, a magical girlfriend primarily uses her powers for the benefit of herself or those she is close to (such as the male lead.)"
"Thank you, Wikipe-tan," said Toltiir as the summoned spirit vanished. "There CAN be overlap with another genre such as 'magical girl' or perhaps 'super sentai' but this is already a ninja story so..."
"Uhm," hesitantly said the silver dragon. "Can I be changed back now?"
"Are you sure? As a silver dragon you can physically transform to human whenever you want, you can fly, and you have a frost breath weapon," said Toltiir.
