Spoiler for nsfw image:

[Evil Rick]

This is a preview taken from a script for something secret.

Spoiler for Coming soon.:

"Humans are weak, they're weak because they love, love is weak because it makes you blander, and when you're bland, you will never defeat an enemy who doesn't love, an enemy who lack of every "human" feeling, an enemy like us.

The nation of Mild Cha protected by the TSAB enjoyed a long era of pease, the mages... the biological scum that are the mages, though that no enemy would be able to stand against them, they were wrong, they were very wrong. The day we came, noone was able to stop us, we killed them, crushed their skulls, burned their childrens and extingushed every light of hope they could get or imagine.

The TSAB did not put any challenge for our strength, the Mild Cha planet was the first one to fall againts our power, after that, we became an unstopable force, all those who standed in our way, died, one by one, all the planets in which these "mages" lived, turned in wastelands and swamps of fire... all but one.

It has come to my ears, that the remain mages are cornered in a planet called 'Earth', this place will be their final grave. I will show no mercy for them, mens, womens, childrens, old ones... they all will feel my fist and will beg for mercy before I release the axe upon their necks, it has alredy started, there's nothing they can do exept wait for their final moment.

We must act quickly, find every one of them, defeat them, kill them without thinking it twice... I hope I made myself clear... General ROBO_GATSURALLy"

Okay, that's just wrong of me, my bad.

Nope problem there; I thought of the same thing when spawn first changed to that title a while ago...

[Nanya01]

Well guys and gals... (There's a lot of women on this board compared to most others I go to. Which is NOT a bad thing. )

Day in the Life is up on FF.Net.

Reviews are always welcome... For all of the "Relationships" series.

Spoiler for Someone for...Everyone? 5:

“Big Red to Little Red, come in Little Red. Over.”

… No response.

“Big Red to Little Red! Big Red to Little Red! Come in Little Re-”

“I'm right next to you!” Nove snapped, snatching the walkie talkie from Wendi's hand. “And this isn't a stealth mission! We're just going in and getting a table!”

“Ahem,” Dieci coughed, “People are staring.”

Nove flushed and stomped through the door followed by the other six and by the eyes of everyone surrounding them. “We need a table for seven!” Nove nearly scared the seating hostess to death.

Cinque stepped forward and with a dazzling smile added, “preferably in a dark corner where no one will see us... tee hee.”

The woman's face melted into a look of gooey happiness and she gathered seven menus and started to guide them to the darkest of dark corners.

Otto raised an eyebrow and looked down at Cinque as they headed to their table, “Tee hee?”

Cinque shrugged, “When you're someone my size you use what you've got.”

Though large their table was indeed all the way in a back corner. The table gave them a perfect view of the back of Jail's head. However, if he even turned slightly he'd probably see them, luckily he seemed too caught up in his conversation with his lady to pay them any mind.

The all sat around the table, menus in hand. Then the same thought occurred to them all at once.

“Now what?”

None of them had ever been to a restaurant before.

~~~

Was this happiness? Was all that other junk, pretty much his everything up until then nothing more then a precursor to the simple happiness he was feeling right now? Why did sitting in a dimly lit and overpriced restaurant, chewing on dry bread sticks from yesterday's batch, feel better then stealing relics of an ancient past and cloning a child emperor?

“So Mr. Jail what is it you do when you're not saving damsels in distress?” Maria giggled at her own joke.

Ah, that's why... isn't it?

“I'm a scientist.” It wasn't a complete lie. “I do research and development for the TSAB, cybernetic engineering primarily.” Again, not a total lie.

It made sense.

“Wow~~ How cool. Makes a part-time job hopper like me feel useless,” She chewed on the end of a bread stick a little blush crawling up on her cheeks.

After all, all those other things...

“No no, I mean, you're just looking for your own path, right? There's nothing wrong with that, that's what I think, at least.”

Didn't have her there.

…

What exactly was he thinking? Jail turned red from his own thoughts. Jeez when did he become a waxing romantic exactly?

“Mr. Jail are you okay?” She leaned across the table, a worried look on her face. “You look sick.”

Jail tugged at his collar, “It's just a little hot.”

“It is a little stuffy,” she nodded in agreement. She nibbled on the bread stick.

Wait wait wait. Why did he keep noticing the bread stick? The way she kept taking the tip in her mouth and- What the hell? What was it those kind of guys were called in those books? Perverts. That's what it was, Jail was some kind of bread stick pervert!

Maria stood up.

Jail panicked internally, what was it? Had she sensed his pervert rays? Did she have some kind of Perv-dar that had picked up on him?

“Sorry Jail, I have to um... use the restroom, I'll be right back,” and with that she ran off.

And so Jail was left alone. Wait, hadn't that been one of Sein's “Things to look out for”? It was over, he'd failed. Jail's head thudded off to the side it was over, ruined, and he hadn't even started on those “bases” the girls had been going on about, whatever those were.

His gaze fell on a table in the corner. It was weird, the table was set but there was no one at the table. He turned away, wallowing in his ever growing depression in the other direction.

Jail chewed on a bread stick, if he was going to be a bread stick perv he might as well enjoy them.

~~~

Wendi burst out from underneath the table cloth gasping for breath. “If he'd kept looking for one second more I was gonna die,” she fanned herself off with the menu.

“You shouldn't draw so much attention to yourself Wendi,” Deed gently tugged the menu from her red headed sister's hand.

“But it's hot, it's hot~” she sprawled out on the table.

Cinque emerged from under the table last looking rather frazzled. She'd been stuck at the very center, crammed in with all the others nearly on top of her. She checked to make sure Jail was moping then gave the neighboring, and staring, table a cheerful, childlike smile. “We were looking for my eye, I always seem to lose it~tee hee.”

Either they were too embarrassed for staring, or disturbed by the “answer” but the neighbors suddenly became very focused on their meal.

Cinque returned to examining the strange hard piece of what was supposedly food. “Sein, any sign of Quattro?”

Sein shook her head, “None, I'm starting to think those three were just blowing out hot air.”

“It is better to act today then to regret tomorrow,” Otto answered sagely.

Cinque broke the stick in half and sniffed the end, “by the way, what happened to Nove?” The ninth number was missing.

Wendi wasn't suspicious of the basket's goods at all and was happily munching on the sticks, “She went to the bathroom. Though it's been a- munch munch -while. Want me to- munch -get her?”

The youngest looking number shrugged, “you might as well.”

“Okay~” Wendi bounded off.

Their waiter, a handsome young man, approached them, “May I take your orders now ladies?”

They all stared at him blankly. Orders for what?

~~~

Shhhhhhhhhh.

Jail was a nice guy. No, that wasn't really being fair to him, plenty of guys were nice, Maria had met a lot of them and dated a few, but Jail wasn't like them, not really.

Maria put her hands under the cool water rushing from the tap. It was always important to be hygienic. That's what her dad had always said.

Jail was- well to be honest she liked him a lot. As much as anyone can like someone they'd really just met. It was a shame that- a shame that- that there were no towels.

Maria looked in despair at the empty towel dispenser, “oh just my luck...”

“Do you need a towel? I took an extra.”

Maria turned around, “Thank you very much.”

A pair of glasses glinted, the bespectacled brunette holding out a paper towel shook her head, “Oh no need to thank me.”



Wendi grasped the bathroom door's handle. She tried to tug it open but felt resistance. “It's locked?” The cyborg shrugged, “well it is a bathroom after all.” And she turned and walked away.

Spoiler for A/N:

Oh Jaily poo~ You're not a Bread stick perv, you're just very much out of your element. Despite his age and his crazies I'd think he'd be very much naive and innocent when it comes to love. All his information comes from reading shoujo manga after all.

Not much in the way of action this part... really it was more set up for the next part ha ha.

Previously

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

...

Oh dear. Quattro and Maria together in the same room? That can't possibly end well.

Spoiler for "Master Etna! Master Etna!:

"Master E- yip!" The Prinny was cut off when he was held by the beak by the person he was addressing.

"Why must you be so loud?" she hissed at him before letting go. As if having a second thought, she grabbed the beak once again ("Mmph!") and tossed the Prinny away from her, making a satisfactory 'boom'.

The other Prinnies looked subdued (read: terrified) but another brave soul-in-a-penguin-suit seemed willing to brave Master Etna's wrath.

"Dood...?"

The Beauty Queen opened one eye to regard the advanced Prinny. "You guys are really persistent today," she observed, implying permission for the demon penguin to speak.

"Master Etna, your power level isn't even close to theirs! You heard what their power levels are, dood!" He tried to keep himself quieter than the first one, but he wasn't all that sure he succeeded.

"They measure them differently," Etna said lazily, closing her eyes again. Of course, not before tossing a knife into the head of the Prinny that had last addressed her. He fell over, and the others backed away, eyes wide. "My power level reflects my experience, after all." Then she clenched her hand, her eyes still shut, but managing an angry face anyway.

"I will be the only red-haired loli anyone will ogle! This 'Vita' is going down!"

My title's been the same since I joined. I love it when people notice

Oh my! Poor Vita. Maybe Agito can distract Etna?

Or maybe Prinny!Precia is running around..? *Is shot*

[Satashi]

And now, without any farther delay...

An Erio/Caro short! WOOHOO!

Spoiler for Lucky:

Everyone told me that I had no idea just how lucky I was. Living with Erio, the heart throb of not only the preservation community, but also of the village nearby. I never really noticed before now, after they told me to take a good hard look at him. My friend and house mate was sitting on the balcony, back against the wall of our house. His left leg was propped up and his right hung off the edge while his eyes stared off into the sunset. Body still slightly damp from his shower, he wore nothing but a pair of shorts, letting me finally realize that somewhere along the way he had developed a six pack of toned abs.

Tanned skin and firm muscles, unruly hair that he had decided to try and grow out into a ponytail for some reason. As I walked over to him, he glanced my way and smiled before turning back to look out over the vast forest area that we protected together. Our house was high on a mountain that overlooked the preservation, giving us a View that Fate called 'simply breathtaking'. I suppose that's why we spent a lot of our free time on the balcony.

How long have we been together now? I knew it was a while, but I was honestly shocked when I realized it had been almost five years. We were teenagers now, approaching what Nanoha had called 'the danger zone'. True, we were getting more mature, but I never thought about it.

After all, we shared a bed. We have been since we first came here. We even took baths toget-

I blushed hard, suddenly understanding why Erio had always been so shy about that. All at once I felt embarrassed, knowing that we couldn't possibly do it anymore. Granted, we haven't in years, but I never once considered it until this moment.

Yes, I was lucky. Lucky to have a friend like him, someone who would protect me while I protected him. Someone who respected me and cared, who not only was innocent like a child but mature like an adult. He cooked with me, kept the place clean, didn't go out partying with the others too often, and always made sure I knew he was okay when he was out in the field alone.

Erio helped the local police force often, saved many animals from poachers, visited the local orphanage regularly, and always still found time to smile at me. As I stepped closer to him, I felt my lips turn into a smile as well. I was rather fortunate, wasn't I?

My arms rested on Erio's knee and he looked over at me as I bent over to rest my chin up on them, using him as a prop. A small chuckle came and he looked back over the treetops again, gazing out at the orange and red sky as the sun's final rays cast over the foliage.

I was truly, truly, lucky.

@Satashi: Highway to the Danger Zone!

I wrote that Prinny!Precia...

Just in case you forgot...

Spoiler for Refresher for Prinny!Precia:

"Mama! Mama!"

Fate blinked as Vivio rushed into the house. Nanoha was gone on a seminar for the weekend for new training methods and techniques. Not that Fate or Vivio blamed her, since her work was important. "Vivio, what's wrong?"

"Look what followed me home!" She smiled and pointed to a...

"A Penguin?" She blinked, looking it over. It was a dull gray color, had peg legs and a fanny pack on its front. "Is it lost from the zoo?"

"No, dood. I was ordered to come here and work for you." It said and raised a flipper at Fate.

Fate blinked a few times. For some reason, the creature looked really familiar to her.

The Prinny, meanwhile, was holding back from lashing out. That stupid Lamington, making her reincarnate into a penguin, one with no power and she couldn't do anything to harm the one she was assigned to, nor anyone in the house, which made what she was going through even worse.

Though, it might not have been so bad if she didn't have to serve the clone of her real daughter. It just wasn't fair to her!

@Satashi: Cute short is cute. :3 Can't say anything else other than that. Good job.

I did read that! Maybe Master Etna should use her in her plan to be the only person anyone is Loli for. (After all, Everyone Is Loli For Etna, but that doesn't mean some people are also loli for others. Etna discovered this, and is rather peeved about it)

Maybe to make it a little more safe, I should add in the love triangle with Lutecia? But then again, in 6th Division, Erio becomes a spy instead of a preservationist.

Yeah, he did.

He ended up with both of them, didn't he?

Lucky punk.

...

Any chance for an update on that in the future, Satashi?

[Nanya01]

Okay, another session of back and forth between myself and RadiantBeam. (She's a LOT of fun to work with. )

this is chapter 2 of "Day in the Life"

A little more humorous and serious at times than some of the other parts...

To be honest, I NEVER thought that "Relationships" series that we've done would take off as well as it did.

Spoiler for Telling:

"You ready for this, Yuuno?"

Yuuno smiled shakily even as Arf squared her shoulders, looking like a soldier going off to war. "If I said no?"

"You'd still have to do it, anyway." Arf's eyes softened slightly as she looked up at the man. "Yuuno, come on. You know they won't like it either way, but they'll hate you if you hide and get killed on a mission."

Yuuno blew out a long breath. "Good point."

Of course, being ready mentally and physically was really blown out the window as he was tackled to the ground. "N...Nanoha?!"

"Hi!" She smiled at him, a very... Seductive look on her face as she ran her fingers through his long hair. "Mmm... You look good enough to eat right now..." She whispered to him and kissed him on the lips fully.

Arf stared at the two, she hadn't expected the flying tackle greeting. At the rate she's going, he'll be naked and in bed with her before he can tell her. She thought and sighed before clearing her throat.

It didn't help as Nanoha was trying to get Yuuno's shirt off of him.

Arf blushed, while she could handle the talk, she REALLY didn't want to watch Fate's lovers go at it. "Nanoha!" She yelled, getting the brunette to stop and look at her. "uhh..." Arf's eyes widened and she backed up from the glare that she was receiving.

"Nanoha..." Yuuno gasped for air. "Please... I... I need to tell you something."

Blinking, she pouted at him. "Mouuu... And I was all ready for some fun too!"

"That's obvious." Arf muttered, gulping as Nanoha turned to look at her again. "Nothing, nothing!" She laughed nervously, closing her eyes and rubbing the back of her head.

Quite suddenly, Arf felt Yuuno deserved far more credit than he got. Any man who could come home to that and still live to tell the tale was made of the stuff that inspired legends!

"As interesting as this is to watch..." Arf coughed as Nanoha glared at her again. "Can we come inside? Yuuno and I need to talk to you and Fate."

Nanoha continued to glare a moment longer, but when it became obvious Arf wasn't going to go away she grumbled and lifted herself away from Yuuno. "Darn it," she muttered, and shot a look at Yuuno. "When she leaves, Yuuno-kun, you're mine."

Yuuno gulped. Whatever Nanoha had planned for him, he desperately hoped she'd talked it over with Fate.

"Nanoha? Nanoha, don't tell me you're tackling Yuuno again..."

Fate came out of the front door, took one look at her two lovers, and sighed. Noticing Arf, she blinked in surprise before smiling.

"Arf! Long time no see. What brings you here?"

She smiled, though it was a little strained considering that she thought the wrath of god (or the white devil) was about to crash down on her. "Well, Fate... Yuuno and I... We need to tell you something..."

"You two aren't secretly lovers are you?"

Arf face-faulted. "How did you get THAT?!"

Fate blinked a few times before laughing in relief. "Oh thank goodness, I knew those rumors were wrong."

Yuuno rubbed his head. "You two need to stop by more often so those rumors don't start up..."

Arf shot him a look once they got inside. "Um, Fate, Nanoha... How much do you two know about what's going on with our superiors?"

Arf and Yuuno both noticed two distinctly different reactions to the question.

Fate stiffened. Went completely stiff and still, and a worried look entered her gaze that hadn't been there before.

Nanoha, on the other hand, just blinked curiously. "What about our superiors?"

Seeing the three look at her, Nanoha got the feeling she really didn't want to know.

(---)

After making sure that she was sitting down and everything was explained to her, carefully, it really didn't surprise Yuuno that Nanoha grabbed him and hugged him tightly. "Can't... Breath..." Okay, maybe a little too tightly.

"Nanoha!" Fate yelped as she loosened the hold her female lover had on Yuuno, who took a deep breath of air when Nanoha's death grip loosened.

"Won't let them, no. Won't let them take you." She rocked back and forth, trembling. "What will happen if you get injured, or worse?" She still hated what happened to her father and how bad it had been for her and her family afterwords.

The more Arf watched this, the more she got impressed with Yuuno.

Yuuno took another deep, cleansing breath of air. As much as he loved Nanoha, her pregnancy had made her amazingly clingy.

"I won't be alone," he managed to wheeze out. "Arf wants to come with me."

"Yeah." Arf grinned. "I'll back his butt up so he doesn't come home in a body bag. Besides..." She shrugged. "We're talking worse case scenario, Yuuno gets sent out. Lindy and Chrono are fighting against it, so it might not even happen."

"But, in order to protect him..." Fate began as realization dawned on her.

Arf nodded. "I'll need more of your mana to get back to my adult form. I'll still use my puppy form so that I can conserve more energy, but, is it okay?"

Fate smiled at her softly. "Arf, if you're there, I won't worry as much..." Both Arf and Yuuno let out sighs of relief. "That doesn't mean that I still don't worry about you though." She pulled her small familiar into a hug. "You were always looking out for me... I just don't want you hurt."

"I know." Arf sighed as she hugged Fate. "But let me look out for you this way too. I don't want to see you cry because Yuuno got badly hurt. At least I can be there to make sure that he stays safe."

Nanoha sighed and loosened her grip on Yuuno. "I... I can't talk you out of this, can I?" She slumped in her seat, depression covering her practically palatable in the intensity around her.

"It isn't me," Yuuno murmured. "It's the higher-ups. They've been putting pressure on everyone lately."

Arf nodded quietly, but even as she did so something hit Fate; a belated realization:

Even if Arf went with Yuuno, that didn't mean he'd be safe. If anything, he could easily die trying to protect her.

He could...

"Yuuno." Fate motioned for him with her hand, glancing at Nanoha as she rose. "Can we talk?"

Yuuno nodded and followed his lovers into the privacy of the living room. Arf raised a brow.

"... Good luck, ferret-boy." She sighed. "You're going to need it."

Sitting down on the floor and leaning against the wall, Arf looked up at the ceiling wearily. Why does everything have to be so dammed complicated? She wondered, ironically mimicking what she had said years ago about the Book of Darkness.

(---)

Yuuno looked at Fate, he couldn't recall a time that she had been so, so emotionally drained. "..I take it that your talk with your brother didn't turn out quite as well as you had hoped, huh?" Seeing her eyes narrow at him, he held up his hands. "Sorry, Fate. I haven't had to deal with the top brass too much, so them asking me to go back out onto the field was rather surprising to me." Especially since he had gotten that information only a couple of days ago.

Fate slowly relaxed. "You probably just saved your life right there," she murmured.

Yuuno believed it. He really, truly did.

"Yuuno-kun?" Nanoha's voice was uncertain. "These missions... you'd keep yourself safe as top prority, right?"

He cringed at that.

"I..." Oh, hell, he couldn't lie. "I'd try," he said at last. "I'd act as a guardian, not a fighter, so I'd mainly protect the mages. If I had to..." He shrugged helplessly. "That's what the higher-ups said."

"But, you wouldn't hesitate to protect them, would you?" Seeing him shake his head, Nanoha sighed. "You always were good about protecting those around you, Yuuno." She smiled softly at him. "Even when we were kids, you always tried to protect me."

"Nanoha, I... Believe me, I'd rather be either at the library or here at home."

"We know." She had a small, sad smile on her face, one that ate at him even worse than if she had been angry. "I know that you would rather stay at home and help raise our children... And I know that you wouldn't want what's going to happen to happen..."

"But we are part of the military..." Fate sighed sadly. "Missions like this happens a lot..."

"Even if we don't like it." Nanoha finished that sentence. There were a LOT of times in the past that she, Fate and Hayate had to skip school and miss social gatherings simply because of missions that popped up, they knew how bad it could get.

They disliked it then...

They really hated it now.

"Fate, Nanoha... I can only promise you that I'll do everything I can to make sure that Arf, myself and everyone I'm with comes back safe and sound." If he had to go, he was going to make sure that he did all he could to ensure the safety of everyone around him.

"I'll hold you to it, Yuuno-kun."

Nanoha rose, took two steps towards the kitchen, and hesitated. "Oh, hell." She whirled on her heel and tackled Yuuno, sobbing.

"Dammit, I don't know what's worse," she whispered. "Knowing what could happen to you, or knowing that it hurts so badly! It didn't hurt like this before!!"

Hugging her back, Yuuno didn't know what to say. He honestly didn't. "Nanoha..." He whispered to her, holding her tightly, protectively.

A moment later, another pair of arms wrapped around the both of them, as Fate rested her head against Yuuno as well, silent tears falling down her face as Nanoha and Yuuno wrapped an arm around her, holding her close.

Not a word was said between them for a long while.

Peeking around the corner, Arf narrowed her eyes as she watched. Even if she got badly hurt or worse, she would make sure that Yuuno came home. The thought of Fate being in more pain than she had been as a child was like an ice stake through her heart. And she couldn't stand that thought.

"Yuuno, Nanoha..." Fate murmured, before she kissed Nanoha on the lips, then kissed Yuuno on the lips as well. "It hurts me too... My heart... It feels like someone stabbed me with a cold blade and twists it each time I think about what could happen to you."

Yuuno didn't know what to say. He'd always known, of course, that Nanoha and Fate loved him; and he knew that sometimes, for them, it was hard to show it. Seeing them now, it truly hit him.

"I'll come home." Yuuno's voice was soft. "I don't know how, or what I'll have to do, but I'll definitely come home."

Nanoha looked at him, tears glistening in her eyes. "I... I don't like being alone... Yuuno-kun... Fate-chan..." When their arms tightened their hug on her, she leaned up and kissed Yuuno on the lips, before kissing Fate. "Please... Don't leave me alone."

"We won't." Fate whispered to her. "We'll never leave you alone, Nanoha."

Around the corner, Arf quietly slumped against the wall, resting her head in her hands. She took a deep breath and stood up, darting out of the kitchen into the bedroom, knowing that was where Fate kept all her communication stuff. In only a few minutes, she summoned up a contact screen.

"Arf?" Lindy blinked at her, confusion written all over her face. "Is something wrong?"

Arf was suddenly grateful that Vivio had gone to visit Momoko and Shiro; she didn't need to see this. "Lindy, that thing you and Chrono are fighting the superiors about... how's it going?"

"They're stubborn." She admitted after a short while. "It's not easy."

"Lindy, please..." Arf wasn't used to begging, even if she was a puppy at times. "It's tearing them apart." Tears welled up in her eyes. "It hurts to watch them right now. You... You have to do something."

"Arf, please calm down." The green-haired woman clearly didn't like what was happening either. "Besides, don't you think that I've got a plan?"

The small familiar blinked in confusion at her. "Lindy?"

Lindy smiled. "I don't pick my fights unless I have a good plan to back me up," she said simply. "I can't say much more than that, but Chrono and Amy are pulling some strings."

"But... Lindy, I don't understand."

"It's simple." The green-haired woman blinked thoughtfully. "The superiors want to send Yuuno out into the field, right?"

Arf nodded.

"But they seem to have forgotten that whenever he was out fighting in the past, Nanoha, Fate, or both were with him."

Arf nodded again; suddenly, it dawned on her.

"Don't tell me... you're going to threaten the higher-ups with Nanoha and Fate?"

The older woman winked at her. "Possibly." She smiled at Arf giggled at the thought. "My daughter is rather scary when she gets upset. I think Signum still flinches around paint."

Smiling as Arf fell to the floor giggling, Lindy couldn't help a rather dark thought come to her mind. I know that the younger mages need support, mentoring, and actual experience even Nanoha and Fate had that phase. She just hoped that she could keep all the younger, inexperienced mages from any real dangers for awhile. It wasn't just Yuuno, she had seen the reports of the newest recruits and even the three Admirals agreed with her on keeping them away from the more dangerous stuff.

She just hoped it was enough.

"Hey, Lindy..."

"Yes, Arf?"

"If Yuuno does go out into the field, I'm going to go with him."

"Arf?" Lindy blinked as the little familiar got a determined look in her eyes.

"Fate will worry about Yuuno, so will Nanoha. If I can help him so that he can go home every day, I will."

Lindy blinked again; after a moment, she chuckled.

"I expected you'd say that," she murmured.

Arf shrugged. "What can I say, I like the kid."

The green-haired woman smiled. "Yes, I know." She hesitated. "Arf?"

"Yes?"

"How did they take the news? Nanoha and Fate, I mean."

"Like I said, it's tearing them up inside..." She sighed. "Lindy, please... Remember how bad it was for Fate when Nanoha got badly hurt? Fate and Nanoha... They're clinging to Yuuno... Trying to keep strong but..."

Lindy was silent, but nodded. "Very well."

"They don't like it," Arf mumbled. "They don't like it, but they're trying to accept it... since it's the brass that's giving orders."

"They don't like it," Arf mumbled. "They don't like it, but they're trying to accept it... since it's the brass that's giving orders."

Lindy nodded. "I'll keep doing what I can. You make sure that they stay safe."

Arf nodded as Lindy smiled and said goodbye before hanging up.

"Fate... If he is sent out, I'll keep him safe, I promise you." Arf swore to herself softly.

Will Yuuno get sent out? Will there be crossover cameos? Will the Nakajima sisters get in on the action?

I... can't honestly tell you that.

...

I can't, either.

The way you two handle this, NxFxY is much better than I'd think. I've only ever seen the three-way in porn-without-plot stories. This is good stuff.

Wow! Thank you!

That means a lot to me.
