Tropes/Tempting Fate

## Cherry Magica

* Cherry says that her team will never be apart. Unfortunately, she herself dies and becomes a Perserver while her best friend Valerie turns against her and becomes the villainess Queen Vera. However, there is a positive part to it: while it seems for most of the series that her hope for Valerie's eventual redemption is just a naiive wish, this finally comes true in the equivalent chapter to "The Ending of The End."
* Before losing an arm to a Vertex, Cherry assures herself that Valerie will bring her phone to her and begs her to help protect her. Seconds later, Valerie kicks Cherry's phone further away from her and smiles when the Vertex bites off her arm.

## Nina Magica

* In the equivalent chapter to the Cheerfulverse episode "Disaster Looming," Nina says "Aw, come on, even if a village betrays us, we'll never be apart!" A violent Nicole then suddenly punches her in the face, and as a result, poor Nina becomes a Broken Bird.

## Tale of the Two Non-Magi Cherries

* In "Fish That Come to the Net," Melody thinks that she isn't needed to fight Vertex. Seconds later, time stops, and Melody is transported to the Jukai for the first time.

## Madoka Magica

* In the equivalent of "Pokémon Emergency!", Kendall says that's it's not like the Pokémon Center is going to blow up. Seconds later, Gigi's Ember ignite's Weezie's gas, causing the Pokémon Center to explode.
* After the Squirtle dress the Magis in clown suits and clown makeup after Madoka doesn't make it back in time, Elizabeth tells Homura not to worry since the whole thing turned out to be a huge prank. While this is true and she is well-intentioned, Homura witches out in the next chapter anyways.

## Bailey Magica

* In "Behaver," Dragonet (rattling off various real-life synonyms for "magic user") snidely says that she wouldn't care if her Trainer became "a witch, a wizard, a warlock, a mage, a majo, a sorcerer, the Wicked Witch of the West, or whatever." Seconds later, however, Bailey runs over to tell everyone that Elizabeth has become a witch, causing Dragonet to become *very* shocked and making it obvious she actually does care.

## Serena Magica

* At one point, Nanette says "What can go wrong? The performance is going to be a SMASH!" Soon, Serena and her partners become zombies, and Nanette herself gets possessed by her own ancestor just to flip the witch that caused it off.

## Lillie Magica

* In the equivalent chapter to "Faba's Revenge!", Marie says that it's not like an Ultra Beast is going to appear out of thin air and carry someone away. Seconds later, the Ultra Wormhole created by Nebby's evolution into Cosmoem causes a Nihilego to come out and drag Lusamine away, much to Lillie's and Gladion's horror.

## Melody Magica

* Elis says that having a third daughter will be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, Nicole's naiiveness and curiosity ends up accidentally harming herself and trashing the house, and causes Elis herself to go to the ER after Nicole doesn't know what a fork is for and stabs her in the eye.

## Cherry Magica 3

* After seeing all the Creatures chosen as Magis, Eileen nervously says "What if not everycreature is always so accepting?" before brushing it off due to the Vertexes attacking. However, this becomes reality in the far future where the species live separated from each other with no magic.
* After transforming for the first time with his friends, Sandbar says that he can't wait to use his powers to create "massive sanddunes and stuff." Unfortunately, his Dream Pixie does not give him a weapon, and the Magic of Friendship tells him he doesn't have any combat power, causing him to facefault.

## Elizabeth Magica

* Positive example: Event Horizon, while electrocuting her, tells Elizabeth that "all [she] [has] left to do is hand [her] light over to [her] and fade quietly out of existence!" The latter, however, asserts that she will *not* give up and manages to free her soon afterwards.

## Rosie Magica

* Another positive example: Avvy, Dolores, Kyubey, and a few Taisha priests are wandering around searching for teenagers who are Chosen Ones. While Avvy loudly shouts at crowds of civilians hoping to find a Chosen One, Dolores snidely says that they'll never find any Chosen Ones anytime soon... and is instantly proven wrong when time suddenly stops and the former three are transported to a dimension filled with various teenagers after a brief montage shows them in their hometowns confused and checking their phones while time is stopped. This pessimistic remark is also enough to set Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow free from their imprisonment.
* At one point, Piper says that Autumn won't ever make a mess with her powers. Seconds later, the latter trips and ends up involuntarily using a spell and splattering jelly all over everycreature.

## Katy Magica

* A mostly positive example: The night before her death, Melody admits to Melissa that she terribly misses her friends and family and wishes she had died long ago to join them. In the next chapter, she finally reunites with them at long last.

* In "The End of the Princess"...
	+ Cynthia brushes off a dream she had as meaning nothing. However, many chapters later, Katy and Evelyn realize how wrong their friend is.
	+ Katy thinks that Melody has won the latest battle. Seconds later, she gets strangled to death...and Katy strikes back *at the cost of sight in her left eye*.
	+ Kylie assures the others that a miracle will surely happen and Melody will come back to life... yet at the latter's funeral, Katy and the Taisha have to gently break it to her that none has occured.
