In hopes that JC will release another installment of Landscaper!Fate, I wrote up another Richgirl!Nanoha short.

For the new people here, "Richgirl!Nanoha" is a small dedication short series to JunkedCat's "Landscaper!Fate". You should read it, it's great. You can find the link on the second post, first page here.

Spoiler for Richgirl!Nanoha:

"Why? Did I agree to let you do this?"

Fate's voice was obviously bored but I was having too much fun to mind. She had promised me that if she let me do this then I would go out with her again on the town. I personally think I got the better end of both deals, as I got out of the house and was able to put fake nails on Fate's hands. "Because," I answered her question simply. "Isn't this fun?"

"Having my nails filed down to nothing isn't really my idea of fun." Fate frowned and looked at her left hand, which I had done first. Each nail was extremely short and her right hand was getting that way as well.

"They will be pretty." I blew on her hand and smiled in satisfaction. "There, now we just need to glue them on."

"Wait, glue?" She blinked at me.

"Of course, silly, how else would they stay on?"

"I dunno," Fate had apparently never thought about it before. "I just...thought they clipped on or something- hey don't laugh!"

"Sorry," I giggled a little as I dabbed her nails. "Don't move." I gently lined up the press on to her fingernail and pushed it down firmly once I was sure of it's position. Fate looked at the addition to her hand and from what I could tell, actually seemed to like it. "See? It's really short, but it looks nice." I had chosen a simple pair for her. Nothing long or weird looking, but a simple cover to her bitten and scratched nails that even seemed to be a little dark thanks to whatever chemicals she always touches.

"It's...not bad." Fate gave me her hand back and I took it, dabbing on some glue onto the next one. "Though, I just really like holding your hand."

I felt my cheeks color and decided not to reply. Instead, I smiled lightly and pressed on the nail, glancing up embarrassedly.

Fate sighed and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Finally! I hate this stupid plot of land!"

"Watch you mouth," Chrono warned her lightly. "We don't need anyone hearing how much of a pain in the ass this area is."

The blond smirked at her friend and caught a drink thrown at her. One glove was removed, drink swapped hands, and the other followed suit. As she walked to the truck with her partner and new guy, she tripped when reaching to the door and grabbed a hold of the handle to keep from falling over. A small click was heard and she felt a weird sensation on her fingertip. Looking at it, she frowned. "Dammit, I broke a nail."

A crash was heard behind her and when she looked, both males were looking at her in shock. Chrono was even pointing at her pink fingernails with his mouth hanging open. Fate growled and opened the door hard, smacking him in the face. "Not a mother #*@^$)% word."
