I wrote a complete chapter and 2 incomplete chapters to the sequel to Day in the Life before finishing it up.

So, got kinda sidetracked by Infinity, but up to chapter 18 in Future Tense.

"Ah, but you see, Hayate has an excuse for all this villainous behavior! She lost two members of her family, and wants to make sure no-one else goes through that! It's very deep and - oh, she brought them both back to life? Nevermind, then."

[itanshi1]

Spoiler for my thoughts on future tense hayate:

Wasn't the only thing, call it a cascading resolution. Besides, they still died to her. She doesn't want to look at them as programs, but rebooting them is doing just that. Order is her goal and power corrupts so eh i dunno.

I should let kaijo explain that one

Maybe not side stories, but I really wish I could write one Nanoha chapter without being haunted by both a Fate Stay Night/Assassin's Creed and a Zero no Tsukaima/Dragon Age xover bunnies Dammit, just another fight scene to go, focus!

She had only very recently got them back. And they weren't the only ones who died, either. Remember, the first one to go was Nanoha.

But yes, Hayate does seem to be going a wee bit extreme, eh? Wonder if there is still something more going on that we don't know, yet? ;p

On a slightly different note, going with the recent discussion about delays and such, the next chapter of FT will be delayed a bit. Work has been kinda heavy lately, and so I haven't had time to finish up the last couple of scenes. Unless I catch a break sometime this week, it might not be until the weekend when I get it out. x_x

Meanwhile, on Earth...

Arf looked at Lina in confusion. "You want me to do what?"

Lina rolled her eyes at the pup. "Look, of everyone I know, you're both the only one who's fully trained in magic and the only one who can be around her without raising suspicions."

Giving Lina a flat look, Arf would have been pouting if she was in her human form. "I have dog ears and a tail in my human form, I don't think that people at the school are going to over-look that." She yelped as Lina grabbed her and pulled her to eye level, giving her an irritated look.

"Listen, I can ask her to withdraw from school, but right now, I'm not in the best of conditions for casting magic to deal with her. The only other ones that could are Filia and Chrono, and they're both too old to be around Arisa all the time, you're the only one who can look her age, be in her class and look after her."

Arf shuddered slightly, the irritation on her face was pretty obvious, and even with that glamor up, Arf was pretty sure that Lina's eyes were glowing. "I can only cast the Blam Blazer! Remember the last time I tried to use the Ra Tilt? I passed out and Fate complained about feeling her body going cold. And I can't even use the Nemesis Breaker. How the heck am I supposed to help?"

"Well, at least you have good complaints." Lina nodded to her. "One, you can teleport, provided you remember the Astral Bind that Yuuno taught you," Arf nodded slightly, that was one of the things that Yuuno had taught her back on Lina's home world, "okay then, you should be able to get out of there if things get really bad. Two, if that fails..." Arf blinked as Lina held up a fancy-looking hilt and grinned. "Use Bodigar to smack her around."

"The Axe? But..."

Lina rolled her eyes at the confused pup. "First, turn into your human form." She let go of Arf, who turned into her child form. "Hmm... Can you make yourself a little older than that?" Concentrating, the small girl grew slightly. "Perfect, you look like you're about her age, now..." She twitched and looked at her belly. "Calm down, huh?" Rubbing her belly, she sighed as she knelt down slowly.

"Are you okay?" Arf was understandably worried, Fate was so happy at the thought of being an older sister, as was Nanoha, that she didn't want anything to happen to Lina or her son while the redhead was pregnant.

"I'm fine." She patted Arf on the head, ruffling the small girl's hair. "Anyway, you need to hide your ears and tail." Nodding as Arf sighed but complied, Lina clapped her hands together. "Excellent, now, let's get you into a school outfit."

"Uh..." Arf blinked at Lina. "What?"

"You're going to be going to school," Lina groaned as she stood up, she had forgotten how much of a pain it was to carry around a baby in her belly, "you're going to need a different name though."

"Uh, mom, what are you doing?" Arf yelped as she tossed the hilt of the weapon to her. "But... I never..."

"Look, Miyuki has the Sword of Light, this is the next easiest to hide on your body." Lina rolled her eyes at Arf. "Arf, I'm worried that Arisa and Suzuka are going to be attacked by that Mazoku again, I can't ask Chrono to look after them, since he might get pulled away at any time. And Filia would have to pose as a teacher if she was to be at the school, you're the only one I can ask."

"Why not ask her to just get out of school until Nanoha, Fate and Yuuno get back?"

Lina smiled at her. "I've thought about it, Arf. And, yeah, it would be a good idea, but I don't have the authority to do that. I can't just ask Arisa and maybe Suzuka to leave school and expect people to go along with it. At the very least, I'd like you to keep an eye on them until Nanoha, Fate and Yuuno come back, okay?"

Arf sighed and slumped, nodding. "Sure." She found herself in a hug a moment later. "Mom..?"

"You're a good girl, Arf." Lina smiled as Arf practically nuzzled her belly. "Come on now, let's get you into an outfit, I need to make some calls too..."

Arf nodded and looked at the axe handle in her hand. "...Light come forth?" She yelped as the thing lit up. "Woah..." Taking a few swings forward, she grinned as she heard the thing hum in her hands. "This might be interesting."

(---)

"Good morning, class." The teacher smiled as she walked into the room. "Before we begin, I'd like to introduce a new student who will be here for the next few months."

Arisa blinked, it wasn't often that a new student was enrolled in class. Though, considering that Hayate wasn't going to join school until next year, and Nanoha and Fate were off-world with Yuuno, who didn't even go to school with them, it would be nice to have a new person in the class. Behind her, she heard Suzuka gasp, and it wasn't hard to guess why, as she saw the person who walked into the room. 'What's Arf doing here?'

The redhead smiled and bowed to the class. "My name is Kara, I'm studying abroad this semester and my parents thought it would be a good thing to spend some time in Japan."

"Excellent." The teacher smiled at her. "It says here that you're staying with the Takamachi family?"

Kara nodded at her. "Oh yes, very nice family."

Smiling more, the teacher gestured to an open desk near Arisa. "You can sit down there."

"Thank you." Kara smiled as she walked to the seat in question. "I hope that we can all be good friends."

"Yes, well," smiling as she sat down, the teacher began the day's lessons.

(---)

Later...

Arisa looked at Arf as she and Suzuka finally managed to get the familiar away from the crowds. "Just what are you doing? And Kara?"

Kara blushed heavily. "Mom wanted someone to watch over you two in case the Mazoku showed up." She said softly to the two of them. "And Arf's not a good name for girls, so I chose Kara out of a book mom had. It's simple, easy and I'm less likely to screw up with it."

Suzuka frowned softly, but nodded. "Okay, but what do we do if she shows up again?"

"Hope that she doesn't do anything." Kara sighed heavily. "I can't do any spells that would leave a mark on her anyway, mom gave me a weapon to fight her if I had to, but let's just hope that she's not doing anything.

The two girls nodded.

(---)

Meanwhile...

"I see, it's too bad that our gym teacher got sick so suddenly." The principal looked at the green haired woman in front of him. She was dressed in sweat pants and a tight white t-shirt "You can cover for him? What are your credentials for teaching kids physical education?"

The woman smirked as she adjusted her sunglasses. "I can rip doors off their hinges without any effort and I know the perfect way to motivate children to doing their best."

"Well, I dunno..." The principal trailed off as she leaned forward, letting him see down her shirt partially.

"Trust me, when I'm done with them, those kids are going to be a lot... Healthier... Or extremely traumatized, I'm not sure which."

"Well..." He trailed off and shook his head. "I can't just have you fill in on the spot, but there needs to be a gym teacher today, so, I'll have one of the teacher aides supervise, if things work well, then you can substitute, if not, then I'm sorry."

"That simple?" She sounded surprised and the principal shook his head.

"Not quite, but you seem willing and able, if you're as strong as you say you are, and I'm not one to turn down someone who's willing to substitute for a little while."

She shrugged at that. "Alright, works for me." 'Can't believe how easy that was, mental manipulations were never my strong point, surprised he fell for it.'

Still, she was supposed to be on vacation, and Lord Dolphin did say to avoid bringing as much attention to herself as possible.

Oh well, this was... Going to be fun.

Spoiler for Comments:

Yeah, that's right, Arf's under cover to protect Arisa and Suzuka from their gym teacher. XD

[Justin_Brett]

Still sort of kills any development you could have had there. If the main villain has everything she wants, suddenly she's not that sympathetic anymore. Not that you've really been trying to make things gray, but the potential was there.

It also brings back people you'd killed to establish the setting as bleak, but I guess given what they are it's acceptable.

Oh, that is going to be fun isn't it? Reactions will be priceless. What do you do if your teacher is a enemy... prove they don't have a liscense and take legal action.
Why do I have this 'School of Rock' thing in my head, except it's gym with Riksfaito becoming incredibly awsome?

Winter Break don't last that long.

it's been over two weeks now since they started training.

The excuse is that they're in Europe learning stuff.

Remember the last time I tried to use the Ra Tilt? I passed out and Fate complained about feeling her body going cold. And I can't even use the Nemesis Breaker. How the heck am I supposed to help?"

"Well, at least you have good complaints." Lina nodded to her. "One, you can teleport, provided you remember the Astral Bind that Yuuno taught you," Arf nodded slightly, that was one of the things that Yuuno had taught her back on Lina's home world, "okay then, you should be able to get out of there if things get really bad. Two, if that fails..." Arf blinked as Lina held up a fancy-looking hilt and grinned. "Use Bodigar to smack her around."

"The Axe? But..."

Lina rolled her eyes at the confused pup. "First, turn into your human form." She let go of Arf, who turned into her child form. "Hmm... Can you make yourself a little older than that?" Concentrating, the small girl grew slightly. "Perfect, you look like you're about her age, now..." She twitched and looked at her belly. "Calm down, huh?" Rubbing her belly, she sighed as she knelt down slowly.

"Are you okay?" Arf was understandably worried, Fate was so happy at the thought of being an older sister, as was Nanoha, that she didn't want anything to happen to Lina or her son while the redhead was pregnant.

"I'm fine." She patted Arf on the head, ruffling the small girl's hair. "Anyway, you need to hide your ears and tail." Nodding as Arf sighed but complied, Lina clapped her hands together. "Excellent, now, let's get you into a school outfit."

"Uh..." Arf blinked at Lina. "What?"

"You're going to be going to school," Lina groaned as she stood up, she had forgotten how much of a pain it was to carry around a baby in her belly, "you're going to need a different name though."

"Uh, mom, what are you doing?" Arf yelped as she tossed the hilt of the weapon to her. "But... I never..."

"Look, Miyuki has the Sword of Light, this is the next easiest to hide on your body." Lina rolled her eyes at Arf. "Arf, I'm worried that Arisa and Suzuka are going to be attacked by that Mazoku again, I can't ask Chrono to look after them, since he might get pulled away at any time. And Filia would have to pose as a teacher if she was to be at the school, you're the only one I can ask."

"Why not ask her to just get out of school until Nanoha, Fate and Yuuno get back?"

Lina smiled at her. "I've thought about it, Arf. And, yeah, it would be a good idea, but I don't have the authority to do that. I can't just ask Arisa and maybe Suzuka to leave school and expect people to go along with it. At the very least, I'd like you to keep an eye on them until Nanoha, Fate and Yuuno come back, okay?"

Arf sighed and slumped, nodding. "Sure." She found herself in a hug a moment later. "Mom..?"

"You're a good girl, Arf." Lina smiled as Arf practically nuzzled her belly. "Come on now, let's get you into an outfit, I need to make some calls too..."

Arf nodded and looked at the axe handle in her hand. "...Light come forth?" She yelped as the thing lit up. "Woah..." Taking a few swings forward, she grinned as she heard the thing hum in her hands. "This might be interesting."

(---)

"Good morning, class." The teacher smiled as she walked into the room. "Before we begin, I'd like to introduce a new student who will be here for the next few months."

Arisa blinked, it wasn't often that a new student was enrolled in class. Though, considering that Hayate wasn't going to join school until next year, and Nanoha and Fate were off-world with Yuuno, who didn't even go to school with them, it would be nice to have a new person in the class. Behind her, she heard Suzuka gasp, and it wasn't hard to guess why, as she saw the person who walked into the room. 'What's Arf doing here?'

The redhead smiled and bowed to the class. "My name is Kara, I'm studying abroad this semester and my parents thought it would be a good thing to spend some time in Japan."

"Excellent." The teacher smiled at her. "It says here that you're staying with the Takamachi family?"

Kara nodded at her. "Oh yes, very nice family."

Smiling more, the teacher gestured to an open desk near Arisa. "You can sit down there."

"Thank you." Kara smiled as she walked to the seat in question. "I hope that we can all be good friends."

"Yes, well," smiling as she sat down, the teacher began the day's lessons.

Later...

Arisa looked at Arf as she and Suzuka finally managed to get the familiar away from the crowds. "Just what are you doing? And Kara?"

Kara blushed heavily. "Mom wanted someone to watch over you two in case the Mazoku showed up." She said softly to the two of them. "And Arf's not a good name for girls, so I chose Kara out of a book mom had. It's simple, easy and I'm less likely to screw up with it."

Suzuka frowned softly, but nodded. "Okay, but what do we do if she shows up again?"

"Hope that she doesn't do anything." Kara sighed heavily. "I can't do any spells that would leave a mark on her anyway, mom gave me a weapon to fight her if I had to, but let's just hope that she's not doing anything.

The two girls nodded.

Meanwhile...

"I see, it's too bad that our gym teacher got sick so suddenly." The principal looked at the green haired woman in front of him. She was dressed in sweat pants and a tight white t-shirt "You can cover for him? What are your credentials for teaching kids physical education?"

The woman smirked as she adjusted her sunglasses. "I can rip doors off their hinges without any effort and I know the perfect way to motivate children to doing their best."

"Well, I dunno..." The principal trailed off as she leaned forward, letting him see down her shirt partially.

"Trust me, when I'm done with them, those kids are going to be a lot... Healthier... Or extremely traumatized, I'm not sure which."

"Well..." He trailed off and shook his head. "I can't just have you fill in on the spot, but there needs to be a gym teacher today, so, I'll have one of the teacher aides supervise, if things work well, then you can substitute, if not, then I'm sorry."

"That simple?" She sounded surprised and the principal shook his head.

"Not quite, but you seem willing and able, if you're as strong as you say you are, and I'm not one to turn down someone who's willing to substitute for a little while."

She shrugged at that. "Alright, works for me." 'Can't believe how easy that was, mental manipulations were never my strong point, surprised he fell for it.'

Still, she was supposed to be on vacation, and Lord Dolphin did say to avoid bringing as much attention to herself as possible.

Oh well, this was... Going to be fun.

Spoiler for Comments:

Yeah, that's right, Arf's under cover to protect Arisa and Suzuka from their gym teacher. XD

Are we gonna have a drill sergeant of a teacher? Riksfaito might find her true calling beside being a Mazoku And somewhat a stalker for Yuuno... XD

Even more so when 1,000-2,000-word papers every couple of weeks are the norm.

Does that mean we'll get another chapter of Future Days soon?
