I suppose I might be confused as to who's actually being written about in that short . I've never read MGLN BlazerS, so if those are the characters kaname08 was referring to, then my apologies.
But if the short had been referring to Nanoha's canon parents, then it's Momoko and Shiro. Sorry if I made a mistake in understanding who the characters were, I saw Shiro and assumed that it was referring to Nanoha's parents .
I can't recall exactly why on this one (hammered out all the details with a friend before I decided to abandon the plotbunny), but yes, Nanoha is really Miyuki's only steady support in this AU. If I remember correctly, it was that Kyouya felt too ashamed of his own weakness to get involved and Momoko turned a blind eye on it to pretend there were no problems... or something.
That makes it even more sad and terrifying for Miyuki!
That makes it even more sad and terrifying for Miyuki!
...and now I'm terrified for Nanoha as well!
That was the idea. The original thought was supposed to be that it caused some serious conflict in Nanoha during first season, because she was in a situation where she would have also benefited from gathering the Jewel Seeds and had to resist the urge for the greater good.

My apologies for the confusion, but just to be clear to everyone here, the Shiro that I'M referring to is the one in my fanfic whose name is Shiro Higurashi. I'm not talking about Nanoha's father in any way, shape, or form when I wrote that short.
However, I might possibly make a change at a certain point in my fanfic because in chapter 5, he was pondering on his "real identity". I'll eventually be taking a slight break from it to work on the background history of the planet that one of my key characters is from.
Momoko and Shiro--Miyuki is Nanoha's sister/cousin .

And An Obligatory Scold...don't waste space on that many quotes. Just explain yourself.
Sure, since the more I think about it, the more I like the trope quoted.
When writing fanfic, it's important to have all of your characters recognizable. OCs are hard to get people to like, as most people are reading fanfic in order to read more about characters that they already know. So when you name an OC such that their name is easily confusable with a CC, you're basically asking for this confusion in any short that comes up that only contains the OC without explanation.
Ergo, I think it's a good idea to never do that with an OC. Always have OC names distinct from all easily recognizable CC names, with the possible exception of really obscure ones (like ones that really should only have the name "Shopgirl" in the credits). In this specific case, the two OC names are close to two particular CC names that would often deal with each other (as they live in the same household), further increasing the opportunity for confusion for those who are coming in without knowledge of the fic that the short is based in.
Also, since you mentioned it, I edited my previous post for space.

Good point right there. I'll try and keep that in mind when I work on the sequel to my fanfic. (Again I apologize for the confusion).
It was a normal day, but also the first warm day that we had since spring began a week ago. The air was still cool but comfortable enough to break out a pair of shorts and a tank top. Since I was off from school for the weekend, I pulled out all the stops and grabbed my favorite clothes. A purple tank top with spaghetti straps was donned, covering a black bra that had bunny faces scattering the straps that were visible. A pair of jean short-shorts that were definitely not mama approved were slid up and zipped. I put on some sandals that also had bunny faces on them near my toes and broke out of the house before I was told to go change.
Once safe, I let Kris bring up a monitor for me and I called Rio first, knowing for sure that the overly energetic girl would jump at the chance to go swimsuit shopping with me. When she came on the line, however, I noticed at once she was in a van. Her parents had kidnapped her into visiting relatives and she apologized to me, suddenly looking even gloomier than she had been when she didn't have any other options. Hanging up, I tried Corona next.
My other best friend was in bed, strangely enough, and soon told me that she wasn't feeling too well. I smiled at her flushed face, wished her the best, and promised to make her lunch on Firesday, when we went back to class.
Almost defeated, I called up Einhart. I really didn't know what to expect with this call, as the girl was normally always busy. This time was no exception, and she answered my call out of breath, explaining that she and Nove were doing some spontaneous training together. Although I really wanted to ask to join in, I held back, knowing I would have been invited if it wasn't something between just the two of them.
With a sigh, I looked down at myself, all prettied up with no place to go. I could go into town on my own, but what was the fun in that? I didn't really want to go back home, as I had just left...Oh, the library! It wasn't outside, but I could definitely get a book to read and sunbath back home!
Now with a place in mind, I went down the sidewalk to the large building in the distance. The walk didn't take me long, as I was kind of power walking, and I happily entered the doors in search of some random book to occupy my time.
Several people called out to me in greeting, and I even got a wolf whistle from a male worker that I knew from all my time in the place. After winking at him, I made my way to my usual section and saw Yuuno hovering in the air with several books around him just like always. Arf was flying around as well, moving books left and right as Yuuno summoned them to himself and scanned for a category. It was weird seeing this, as it always intrigued me. Yuuno actually took in a little knowledge from each book he scanned, even though it was on a subconscious level. Despite knowing the spell myself, and having done it, I still liked watching him do it. The man was really smart, and dependable. He had personally helped out on so many things in the world, he had been named the "Bachelor of the year" by a handful of magazines.
"Vivio," Yuuno greeted me, not even turning to face me.
Arf blinked and looked down, grinning when she saw me. "Vivio!"
"Hello Arf, Yuuno-kun." I beamed up at them and both came down to stand by me. I noticed that Yuuno took in my appearance, and for some reason I shifted to adjust my bra strap. He noticed and a very faint tint of blush shot over his face. HE was so bashful, even something as simple as that would embarrass him... Although I wanted to tease him about it, I instead simply giggled. Arf caught what was going on and her tail wagged back and forth behind herself really fast, one small fang showing over her bottom lip
I find it amusing that, in all your post-Vivid Vivio fics, you manage to find one reason or another to keep Rio and Corona out of events.
I won't ask you to include them in a fic if you don't want to. But the way you keep making excuses for them is awfully conspicuous. Next time, try not mentioning them at all instead.

Heh, I see that you've made references to a few things we've talked about, Satashi. Thanks, I hope you continue this

Better to have them mentioned than to not for what I have planned. Vivio going out on the town would instantly call her friends. I could have changed it to her going to the library right away, but she wouldn't have dressed like that to stay indoors.
Besides, if I didn't mention them, there would be several other people going "Um, I think she would have called her friends at least." Can't please everybody.

"Buh?" That was unusual, getting smacked in the face by blankets when she was sleeping was weird. Sitting up, she blinked and looked at her bedmate, frowning. "Hayate?" She asked, her eyes widening as she saw that Hayate had stripped out of her pajama pants and even her top was off of her, leaving her in just her panties, groaning and panting. "Hayate!" Vita yelled and put a hand on Hayate's shoulder.
"...Vi...Vita..?" Hayate groaned and rolled over to look at her blearily. "...hot... Too hot..." She groaned and shivered, before grabbing the blankets and putting them over herself. "Cold..." The brunette said softly, her teeth chattering as she tried to get warm, even though she had just been complaining about being cold.
Vita was silent for a moment before slipping out of bed. "Just rest, Hayate, I'll call Shamal." When Hayate just groaned, Vita slipped out of the room to pull up a view screen. "Shamal?" She frowned as she got a "privacy mode" to appear. It meant that Shamal would be able to hear audio and communicate back and forth that way, but no video to go with it.
The sleeping blond groaned and rolled over, cracking an eye open to look at the screen that appeared in her room. "Vita, if you're calling just because Hayate's not home again, I'm going to be very upset." She muttered and slowly sat up. Thankfully only Hayate and the other knights could actually call her there directly. "What is it?"
"Something's wrong with Hayate. I think she's sick, she's complaining about being cold, then hot and she's groaning and shivering." The worry in Vita's voice was unmistakable. Then again, it did get Shamal to sit up fully.
"I'll be right over." Shamal said softly, glad, for once, that Miyuki wasn't at home right now.
---
"Well?" Vita asked Shamal, who shook her head.
"She's sick." Shamal sighed softly. "High fever too. It's probably the flu." Under the blankets, Hayate could only groan as she shivered and tried to push the blankets off of her before Shamal stopped her. "Don't, you'll make it worse."
"Too hot." Hayate groaned and whimpered.
"What should we do?" Signum asked as she tightened her bathrobe around her body. She hated looking at Hayate being so weak at that moment, but there wasn't much that she could do about it.
"Besides keep me out of the kitchen?" Shamal said with a small smirk on her face. "Just make sure that she gets some warm food, soup's generally a good idea, into her."
"What about her fever?" Zafira asked as he looked at Hayate.
"Try and keep her warm and... No, Hayate, you have to stay covered." Shamal turned to Hayate and pushed the blanket back down as Hayate tried to kick out from under it.
"Too, hot..." She groaned in such a pitiful way that it made Shamal's heart ache just to look at her. "Please?" Suddenly Hayate started shivering and curled up slightly. "C...C...colllld..."
"Zafira." Shamal didn't need to speak twice as he jumped onto the bed and rested his body right next to Hayate's, sharing his warmth with her. "Alright, the most we can do right now is just keep her warm. If Hayate needs to get out of the bed, make sure that she's dressed, in blankets and resting on the couch." Left unsaid that it would be better for Hayate to just sleep in bed and not leave it unless absolutely needed.
Vita frowned as Hayate groaned and tried to toss the blankets off of her. "Hayate?"
"Need... Not going to..." Her face was rather green as she tried to get out of the bed. "Please... Gunna..."
Shamal wasted no time and threw the blankets off of Hayate, picked her up and ran to the bathroom. She had seen this so many times in the past year that she knew exactly what was coming. "Get me some towels." She told Vita and Signum as she opened the bathroom door and got Hayate over the toliet, just in time as her mistress finally gave up holding it in.
Wincing, Shamal rubbed Hayate's back as Vita brought her a large white fluffy towel, which she used to drape over Hayate's back and give her a sense of modesty. "Let it out, Hayate, let it out." The only response she got was a gurgle and groan from her mistress.
"This is normal?" Vita asked as she looked on helplessly. She had seen Hayate sick before, but that was generally a fevor or something minor, this seemed a lot worse.
"No." Shamal shook her head. "Could just be a flu or she could have gotten pnuemonia." The blond could only wince as Hayate coughed up some more and dry heaved into the toilet. "It's okay. Shhh... It's okay." She rubbed Hayate's back, hating how she wasn't able to do much at that moment.
"Shamal?" Vita asked as Hayate finally stopped and started to relax.
The blond sighed as she wrapped the towel around Hayate's chest, leaving their mistress in her panties and a towel, as she motioned for Signum to give her a wet cloth, which she used to wipe at Hayate's mouth lightly.
"Stop..." Hayate moaned, getting a shake from Shamal in response.
"Sorry, Hayate." Shamal said softly as she helped Hayate back up. "You need to rest, okay?" Hayate only groaned in response as she was led back to her room and put under the blankets. She smiled as Vita gave her a bucket and put it down by the head of the bed. "If you feel like throwing up, just use the bucket, but for now, just get some sleep, okay?" She only got a groan from Hayate as the sick woman closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep.
"Well?" Vita asked, worried for Hayate as Shamal led the others out of Hayate's room.
"I'll need to do a better scan of her to know for sure." The blond shook her head. "But the best I can say is that she has the flu. If it's pnuemonia, she'll need to go in for treatment." It didn't seem like it, but Shamal didn't want to take any risks, not with anyone's health and especially not Hayate's health.
Signum rubbed her eyes lightly. "You get what you need, Shamal, we'll make sure that she's okay."
"Just make sure that she sleeps, stays warm and eats food that's easy on her stomach." There was a flash of light across the sky, a few moments before a loud crack of thunder ripped across the sky, getting a slight jump from the four of them, as it was rather sudden and loud. "Great..." Shamal muttered as the rain started falling pretty heavily. "Not even morning yet, not a great way to start the day."
"Shamal..." Vita got her attention. "Just make sure to get back here fast enough to help Hayate."
The blond nodded and smiled softly. "Yes, that's fine."
(---)
Sighing as she looked out at the rain, she could only wonder why it felt like a perfect day to stay at home and do nothing. Bringing up a steaming hot cup of coffee to her lips, she sighed as she slowly took a sip and swallowed the bitter liquid. It was starting to brighten up, but it only served to show just how gloomy and dreary the day was.
She had heard that the overcast of the weather could influence people's emotions and attitudes. Looking out at the day, she honestly didn't disagree with them. Sighing, she was about to grab something to munch on and curl up in front of the fireplace reading a book when there was a knock on the door.
"Moment!" She called out, wondering who was out there this morning, especially in this weather. She blinked, several times as she saw the damp, flesh-clinging mop of redhair, the tired eyes, and the shivering body of the girl. "Nove? Come on, you'll get sick."
"Thanks, Lindy." Nove smiled softly and shivered as she was pulled inside.
Sighing, the older woman looked at her dripping guest. "Hold on, lemme get you a towel."
Nove nodded as Lindy left the room. Honestly, she didn't know why she was up so early in the day, she just was.
A few minutes later Nove was sitting in the living room in a large t-shirt, her underwear and a bathrobe that Lindy had given her. "My first question is..." Liindy said as she offered a warm drink to Nove, who took it, smiling softly. "Just why are you up so early and why are you out in the rain?"
"That's two." Nove said, sighing softly as she looked at the drink in her hands. When Lindy only sat down near her, she sighed. "I couldn't sleep. I've been up for about three hours now, I just got dressed and went where my feet took me."
"So, you ended up here?" Lindy asked as Nove shook her head.
"I was about six or seven blocks away when the rain started up."
"That was a half hour ago!" The green-haired woman couldn't believe it as Nove nodded, shivering as her body started to register just how cold she was. "Okay, you're going to stay here until you're both warm and dry and the rain has stopped."
"...Thanks." Nove smiled gratefully.
"Not a problem." Lindy nodded at her. "So, what's wrong?"
"What makes you..." Nove trailed off at the look Lindy was giving her.
"Nove, I might not be your mother, but I know that when people are upset, they wake up a lot earlier and easier than they do when they go to bed fully relaxed. So, what's wrong?"
"...I... I'm not sure." Nove sighed after collecting her thoughts. "I'm not sure how to put it, honestly."
"Then just talk." Lindy said gently as she leaned back into the couch. "Sometimes it's best to just talk about whatever." She smiled as Nove took a drink of the warm liquid and shivered slightly.
"You mean how I'm worried about Ginga because she decided that it would be easy to just run away and not face us?"
Lindy nodded at the redhead, who looked at her drink silently and unsure. "Yes, that..." She trailed off as Nove looked at her sharply. "I'm sorry. I can't imagine it's easy..."
"How could you know?" Nove grumbled as she put her drink down, she didn't feel like drinking anything, before looking at the older woman. "You had a husband, a son, adopted someone who's probably candidate for mother of the year, have grandchildren and make having friends and family look easy and..." The redhead's eyes widened as Lindy suddenly grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled the shorter girl against her.
"Do you really think that any of it is easy?" She asked softly as she held a stiff Nove in her arms, her hands rubbing Nove's back and the back of her head gently.
"No..." Was all the redhead could say. She could get away from Lindy if she wanted to, but for some reason, she just wanted to stay there. "But, she said things that hurt... And then... Then she just left for no reason, she didn't even try to work it out! She just left and wouldn't say anything to me or Wendi!"
Sighing, Lindy shook her head. "Nove... Sometimes, sometimes we can't always sort out our feelings by just talking, and sometimes we need to get away from each other, to not talk to each other until we can sort out our own feelings." Her hands rubbed Nove's back, trying to get the girl to relax just a bit more.
"But, just leaving doesn't help!" Nove protested, her muscles slowly starting to relax almost against her will. "Going quiet, being alone with your thoughts... It just eats you out from inside."
"I know." Lindy shook her head. "But some people need time to themselves, even if it would be better to just talk about things." She smiled softly as she felt Nove relaxing more and more in her arms. "But holding back emotions aren't the best either." She wondered what Nove would do, she had gone quiet and wasn't saying anything.
"I wish I could shut them off." Nove whimpered softly. "It would be so much easier without them."
"Do you really believe that?" Lindy asked Nove gently. "It's easier to live without emotions, but nowhere near as fullfilling. All you feel is emptiness that needs to be filled."
"So, why couldn't she just stay then?"
Lindy didn't say anything for a few moments as she rubbed the younger girl's back. "Because she loves you, and she hurt you. We're all people, crazy, emotional, stupid people that hurt the people we love the most with the things we do."
When Nove gave no response, Lindy looked at the redhead's face, before chuckling softly. "Sleep well then." She commented softly, before blinking as Nove hugged her tightly. "Well, this is interesting." Shrugging it off, she leaned back to rest on the couch.
It was this scene that Amy walked in on about an hour later. "Doesn't this look familiar?" She asked, giggling softly when Lindy looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Amy, could you be a dear and get me some coffee?" Lindy rolled her eyes as Amy nodded, giggling as she left. "Thank you." She nodded as Amy gave her a steaming hot cup.
Amy laughed softly as Nove shifted in her sleep. "You seem to have a way with young girls, Lindy."
The green-haired woman rolled her eyes at that. "Har har, Amy."
Amy put a hand up to her mouth as she giggled while Lindy took a sip of her coffee. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Nove adopted you to be her mother." Amy just couldn't help but compare Nove resting on Lindy to when she caught Fate taking a nap while laying on a sleeping Lindy all those years ago.
Lindy twitched at that and looked at the giggling woman. "I doubt she looks at me like that, Amy. I'm just giving her advice and guidence."
"Mmmhmm..." Amy had a grin on her face as she got up and went to the kitchen. "I'll make an extra-large breakfast today." She had seen Nove eat before and wanted to be prepared.
Lindy sighed and looked at the sleeping redhead before her eyes softened. "Poor girl." She only got a mumble of something about blueberries in response.
Lindy decided that it would probably be for the best if she didn't know what Nove was mumbling about.
About an hour later, Nove was gently shaken awake by Lindy. "Huh?" She blinked a few times as her vision came back to her. "Uh..." Her face turned red and she scooted away from Lindy, who chuckled at that. "Sorry."
"It's okay, though I think my body went kind of numb from that." Lindy laughed softly. "But I thought that you'd want to be up before Karel and Leira got up for breakfast." She held up a hand to Nove. "Will you be a dear and help this old woman to the table?"
"You look younger than dad does." Nove said as she helped Lindy up off the couch.
"Thank you." Lindy smiled as the two got to the table just as Amy came downstairs with Karel and Leira, who both stumbled after her sleepily. "Morning." She smiled at her grandchildren before turning to Nove. "You might want to call home now, I'm sure that they're worried about you."
Nove nodded and pulled up a view screen to call her home. She just hoped that her family wouldn't be too upset with her disappearing.
(---)
Cinque, dressed in a silver robe over pink kitten pajamas, looked up as she saw the "incoming call" screen. "Yes?" She answered, surprised as Nove, who looked half asleep, look at her sheepishly. "Nove? Where are you?" She didn't even know Nove was gone yet.
"I'm at Lindy-san's." Nove responded and sighed. "Can you tell Wendi, dad, and Dieci not to worry about me?"
The small girl nodded and smiled at her. "Sure. But you shouldn't just disappear like that." She could hear some people in the background laugh as she said that. She guessed that it was kind of amusing to see a short girl with one eye closed chewing out her taller, younger sister. "I'm glad you're okay though."
Nove's face turned a light shade of red as she looked away. "Thanks... I'll see you when I get home later, my clothes are just drying over here and I'm having breakfast."
Cinque nodded and smiled as Amy's two children ran into view on the screen and started making funny faces, getting Nove's attention as she playfully growled at them and "attacked" them by tickling their bellies. "You have fun then." She said before turning off the video screen.
It was a few minutes later when Wendi came rushing down the hallway, looking nervous and scared. "Where's Nove?"
"At Lindy's place." Cinque was glad that Wendi calmed down right after that. "She called a little bit ago, since she didn't want us to worry."
Wendi then got a confused look on her face as she sat down. "But, Lindy lives way across the city."
Cinque nodded as she took another drink of her coffee. She didn't especially care for it, but it was more appropriate than tea this early in the morning. "I know she does. I don't know why or how Nove got there, but if she got there by walking, she would have had to have been out since before two this morning."
"Oh..." Wendi trailed off, sighing as she slumped in her seat
"Wendi?" Cinque couldn't help but be concerned.
"I dunno, I think... I think Nove's trying to distance herself from me right now." The look on her younger sister's face nearly broke Cinque's heart.
"Wendi, I don't..."
"Heh, wouldn't be the first time, I mean Ginga already left, so why not Nove?"
"Wendi..." Cinque was getting more concerned as Wendi's eyes were tearing up. This wasn't like her at all. Then again, this wasn't something that the redhead was used to dealing with fully. Neither was Cinque, now that she thought about it.
"And if that's the case, then who knows when everyone just ends up leaving me and..."
"Wendi!" Cinque yelled, getting her attention. "Good. Now listen, I don't think Nove's trying to distance herself from you on purpose. She wanted to let you know that she was okay."
"Really?" The redhead looked a lot more relieved when the silver-haired girl nodded at her. "Sorry, it's..."
"I know." Cinque said softly, patting Wendi on the shoulder softly. Emotions were raw at the moment for her sisters. Genya hadn't even been around much. The last time she had seen him was three days ago and he looked like hell. Whether that was from the situation that his daughters were going through or stress at work, she didn't know. Stepping away from the table, she smiled at her sister. "Come on, help me make breakfast for everyone."
"You mean, you, me and Dieci, huh? Dad's not here again."
Cinque frowned softly at that, but nodded. "Yeah." She didn't know if Wendi wanted to see their father right now, but she hoped he was alright. She and Dieci could check it out after after breakfast. "So, what are your plans for today?"
"Nothing, really... You going to go see dad?" Cinque nodded at that, "I'll come with."
"Huh?" If she could open her right eye, Cinque would be staring in pure shock at her taller sister.
"What?" Wendi blinked at her as she worked on making breakfast. "I worry about him too."
"I thought you were mad at him." Cinque commented as she went to the fridge to get drinks.
"Well, yeah, I am." Wendi admitted and sighed. "That doesn't mean that I don't love him. He took us all in, he didn't have to, but he took us all in and made us part of his family. And we're all human, right?"
Cinque chuckled and nodded, smiling as she got the stuff from the fridge. Maybe Wendi was upset, but hopefully she'd be able to recover from this.
Or at the very least let their dad get forgiveness.

Cracking an eye open, Hayate groaned as the brightness bothered her. Which was weird, since the lights were off and all the shades were drawn. Rolling over, she sighed as she felt a nice fuzzy blanket next to her and snuggled up to it. "Comfy..." When she heard a slight chuckle, she opened her eyes and blinked blearily at the blue and white blur in front of her. Blinking a few more times, she reached up to rub her eyes and clear them. "Zafira? What are... urgh..." She groaned and dropped her head back to the bed. "I don't feel good."
"Shamal says you have the flu." He told her quietly. "You were complaining about being cold and too hot, so I stayed close in case you needed another body."
She nodded, grateful he was here. "Where's Vita and Signum?"
"Signum's still here, she doesn't have to leave for work for a bit. Vita had to go in to fill reports for students since Yuuno and Nanoha are both going to be gone soon."
Hayate coughed as she heard that. "What about..."
"Shamal cleared your schedule and Vita was rather worried about you." So was everyone else in the house, but he didn't want Hayate to try and tell them all she was okay when she was sick.
"Sorry." She said softly and coughed, groaning as she did so. "It hurts..."
"Shamal said it was a bad flu bug that bit you, but at least it's not pnuemonia." If he was in his human form, he'd be frowning as Hayate's face scrunched up in clear discomfort as she groaned in pain. "Signum...
"I got the medicine here. Is Hayate up?"
"Up and not well." Zafira didn't even hear anything more as a moment later Signum walked through the door with a glass of water and some medicine in her hands, Agito and Rein floated behind her, worried.
"Here." Signum helped Hayate take the medicine. "Shamal wanted me to call her when you woke up."
Panting as she lay there, Hayate could only nod as a view screen appeared in front of her, Shamal's face appearing on screen as she looked at the sick woman. "Hi, Shamal... Sorry."
"You're awake now, that's good." Shamal said, smiling softly. "And you just got sick, nothing can be done about that, though I would prefer it if you didn't work yourself to such exhaustion that your body gets to sick to recover." When no one laughed, though Hayate did smile softly at that, Shamal cleared her throat. "The good news is, it shouldn't take more than a week for you to recover, as long as you get enough rest and all the other good things good girls do when they try to get better."
Hayate giggled at that, before coughing and groaning. "I feel..." Her face was turning green before she was rolled to her side where a bucket was held up to her mouth.
The others in the room paid no attention to Hayate as her stomach expelled its contents until she stopped coughing and slowly lowered the bucket.
"Hayate-chan!" Rein cried out as she offered to wipe Hayate's mouth with a slightly damp cloth.
"Thank you." The brunette smiled as Rein cleaned the trace amounts of vomit around her mouth. "I'm sorry that I'm a being a problem."
Signum shook her head. "You aren't. Agito."
"Yes?" The small device looked at her curiously.
"When I leave for work, I'll need you, Rein and Zafira to make sure that Hayate is taken care of."
Agito nodded seriously. "Sure." She wouldn't let anyone down.
Signum nodded, as much as she hated the though of leaving Hayate alone, she knew that between Rein, Agito and Zafira there wasn't much she had to worry about, even so when she saw Hayate's sick and smiling face, she really didn't like the thought of anything happening.
"I'll be okay, Signum. Go to work." Damn their master, looking at her so pleasantly and smiling so weakly, even though she knew she couldn't do anything at that moment. "I'll just sleep."
Sighing, the pink-haired woman nodded and looked at Zafira, who nodded slightly to her in response.
"Don't worry, no one's going to get Hayate-chan while we're here." Rein said, a determined frown on her face. It only made her look funny and cute, rather than dangerous. Which was probably a good thing, in Signum's opinion.
"If something happens, we'll call you, Vita and Shamal." Agito said gruffly.
Signum nodded and looked at Hayate, who was closing her eyes as her body forced her to go to sleep and rest more. Still, she couldn't help but worry.
"I'll be back later." She said quietly as she slipped out as the others nodded, the view screen with Shamal turning off, promising to look in on Hayate later.
"Rein, we should make Meister something good so she recovers faster." She heard Agito say as she left the room to get ready for work, which caused her to smile softly.

There was a pounding on the door, or maybe that was his head? He wasn't sure anymore. "Come in." He called out, rubbing his eyes. Maybe he shouldn't have been at the office for the past week or so? Blinking a few times, he rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes as three people walked into the room, all carrying something. "Cinque? Dieci? Wendi? What are...?"
"You look like hell, dad." Dieci pointed out the obvious as she got to his desk and, after setting what she had down, carefully started taking the stuff off of his desk and putting it on the floor. "Wendi and Cinque spent all morning making breakfast for you and I got you a change of clothes." She looked him over and grimaced slightly. "Go get washed up and changed, we'll get breakfast set up."
Genya tried to get a word in edge wise, but Dieci wouldn't hear any of it as she got him up and into the changing room and gave him the new change of clothes. "And don't come out until you've washed up and changed!" The long-haired cyborg ordered him.
A few minutes later, Genya, his face slightly damp and a new change of clothes on, reappeared from the room as he looked the three over. "Didn't expect this..." He trailed off, chuckling as Cinque grabbed his arm and dragged him to his chair.
"Sit down and enjoy yourself, dad." She smiled pleasantlly, but looked at Wendi, who was a bit silent as opposed to how she normally was as she served him some food and drink.
Smiling, Genya accepted the food and drink as he and the three girls all sat and ate in comfortable silence for several minutes.
"Sir!" Someone that he didn't completely know, though that might have just been his sleep-addled brain, even so, he gave the underling his attention. "There's some work that needs to be done and..."
"Is it needed right now?" Genya interrupted, narrowing his eyes at the underling, who gulped at the annoyed expression.
"Well, no but..."
"Then leave me."
"But sir..." The underling gulped and took a step back as Genya got up and frowned at him.
"Listen, this is the first time in over a week I've seen my daughters, they spent time this morning making me breakfast, getting me a change of clothes and coming down here to see me, and you're trying to bother me before I'm done enjoying myself with them?"
"Uh, well, it's kinda important..." He gulped as Genya frowned more at him.
"Can it wait?"
"Well, yes, but..."
"Then get out of here before I lose my temper and let me have a meal with my daughters in peace!" The poor underling gulped and nodded, backpedalling so fast that he tripped over his own feet as he backed out of the door.
The three blinked at him as he walked back to the desk and sagged back into his chair. "Um... Wow..." Dieci was stunned, to be honest.
"...Go dad?" Cinque pumped her arm in the air while smiling weakly, trying to encourage him.
He rubbed his forehead. "Sorry, I didn't mean for that."
Cinque shook her head. "It's okay, we know how it goes." Genya nodded, grateful that she understood at least, and looked at Wendi, who was looking at her plate silently. Sighing, Cinque tapped Wendi on the shoulder, getting a shocked look from the redhead. "Go on, we'll keep the food warm."
Genya looked at the redhead as she stood up in both confusion and slight hope. The two left the room to stand just outside the door in the hallway. "Wendi?" He asked after a few moments of looking at her back with her arms crossed behind her.
"Why aren't you at home anymore?" He honestly never expected that question from her. "You're gone a lot, I know that you're busy, but you always take the time to call home and let us know." She seemed to slump at that. "Everyone's leaving me... First Ginga, then you... Now Nove doesn't even want to spend a full night at home with me anymore."
"Wendi... I..."
"Cinque's going to be joining the rescue corps soon and Deici's getting interested in being an engineer, I know that Nove's interested in helping people like Subaru does and I want to help too, but... It just feels like everyone's slipping away on me." She knew it was crazy, stupid and overly worrisome, but she couldn't help but feel like things were changing for the worse.
"...I thought you were still mad at me." Genya could only say lamely.
She whirled on him, frowning heavily. "Of course I'm still mad at you! You went and withheld information from us! You could have told us at anytime that Ginga and Nove were sisters! You could have tried to stop us from getting too attached but you didn't! And yet..." She sighed and slumped visibly. "It hurts worse when you're not there. I might be mad, but... I hate it when there's no one around. I don't like... I don't like it when I'm alone."
"Wendi..." Genya trailed off before putting a hand on one of her shoulders. He was surprised when she suddenly hugged him. "I'm sorry, I really am. I wish I told you sooner."
Wendi didn't say anything, she just held him tighter. "I'm sorry too... I didn't... Please... Just come home." She could feel tears leaking out of her eyes at that moment. "I just want my family back."
Genya nodded and hugged her back. "Sure. I promise."
Behind the door, both Dieci and Cinque smiled as they listened in on the conversation. They weren't sure how Nove would take everything, but at least Genya and Wendi might have been able to start mending bridges.
(---)
Groaning as she was shaken awake, Fate looked at Nanoha sleepily. "We there yet?"
Nanoha giggled softly at Fate's comment and shook her head. "Not yet, we'll be landing in ten minutes though." She turned her head to look at the seats behind her. "Vivio, make sure that you have all your stuff."
"Okay, mama!" The girl in question smiled as she went about grabbing her bag that was above her.
Smiling, Nanoha turned in her seat, since she was sitting between Fate and the wall, to see the sleeping baby girl next to the window. "You're a good girl, Alicia." She said softly and leaned forward to check on Yuuno, Isamu and Sora. A soft smile came to her face as she saw Yuuno laying against his chair, sleeping softly while his arms were around both of his sons, both asleep, thankfully, and holding them close to him. "Raising Heart." She whispered softly, giggling softly as the device floated up and snapped a quick image capture. It wasn't quite the same as a photograph. After all, for that, she would need a camera and Raising Heart was no camera.
Nanoha sweat-dropped as she got a mental image of Raising Heart going "this is no camera, girl, no camera!" and wondered where that came from.
"Yuuno-kun..." She smiled, whispering softly as she shook him gently. "Time to get ready to get off."
Groaning, the blond cracked an eye open to look at her. "How much longer?"
"Less than ten minutes." She said softly. "Time to get all our stuff together." She smiled as he nodded and shifted in his seat to get the boys into their carrying seats.
Roughly forty minutes later, mostly due to having to wait for their luggage, the group found themselves walking out of the spaceport. Vivio looked around excitedly. She had been off-world several times, but only to places that her parents knew and allowed her to go, so this was all new for her.
"So, who are we looking for?" Fate asked Yuuno as she pushed the babies in a stroller while carrying a bag on her back. Thankfully the three were still sleeping and not demanding a whole lot of attention.
"I'll tell you when I..." Yuuno began, but was cut off as a voice that had delight dripping off of it cried out.
"Yuuno!" An older, slightly portly woman cried out in joy as she ran up to him and hugged him tightly. "I haven't seen you in so long, nephew!"
Nanoha, Fate and Vivio could only stare in shock at the woman. She had some wrinkles on her face, though her cheeks were slightly round, considering that her body was the way it was, the cheeks looked normal for her. Her hair was black with some graying streaks and she wore a pair of light gray pants and a light blue shirt.
"Air... Air..." Yuuno gasped as the woman let him go. Panting he took a look at her and blinked a few times. "Aunt Rita?" Honestly, he only barely remembered her face and the name was the first thing that popped up in his head.
The woman laughed and nodded. "I'm glad to see that you remembered me, it's been so long." She smiled brightly and slapped him on his shoulders.
"I'm honestly surprised you recognized me." Yuuno chuckled softly.
She waved it off and laughed at him. "Please, it's not hard when the paper's all abuzz with celebrity births..." She trailed off and looked at the women behind him meaningfully. "And then there was that little announcement that popped up in a more recent paper that the two famous aces got themselves engaged to a young man from the Scrya clan. Imagine my surprise when your name popped up." She giggled at his dumbfounded look.
"I, uh..." He stammered out as she laughed at him.
"Oh, don't worry about that." She waved him off and looked at Nanoha, Fate and Vivio more thoroughly. The older woman walked with Yuuno to the two younger women and the children. "My, my..." She looked them over with a critical eye, getting a nervous look from them, before she laughed. "Color me impressed, nephew." Suddenly she smiled and grabbed Nanoha, since she wasn't holding the baby carrier, in a hug. "Welcome to the clan, nieces." She patted Nanoha on the back for a few moments before letting go and giving Fate a much lighter hug, patting her back as well. "I'm glad that Yuuno managed to get such lovely ladies to agree to share him."
Fate blushed as Nanoha laughed softly. "Honestly..." The blond trailed off, looking at Yuuno, who smiled and shrugged helplessly. "This was never a situation that I imagined that I'd be in, ma'am."
"It isn't one that anyone expects to be in." The older woman smiled at them. "And, please, call me "aunt Rita". Ma'am makes me feel old."
Vivio smiled brightly at that. "Okay, auntie!" A moment later she was pulled into a hug as the older woman practically squealed and hugged her tightly.
Yuuno could only chuckle softly. At least it wasn't a bad reaction.
A little while later, Nanoha could only stare in shock at the house that Rita had taken them all to. "Um... Wow..." She hadn't expected such a grand house.
Yuuno chuckled nervously at their awestruck expressions. "Really, Nanoha, your childhood friends had houses that were pretty much the same size, what's the big deal?"
"It's well..." Nanoha trailed off, not really sure how to put it. "You never struck me as well off..."
Rita laughed at her statement. "Dear, just because most of our clan are archeaologists doesn't mean that we're poor. This is just one of the clan's houses."
Isamu chose that moment to wake up and look up, laughing and waving his arms in the air, wanting to get picked up and held, it was made all the more amusing as Fate still had a dumbfounded look on her face as Isamu laughed up at her.
Seeing Fate not making a move, Vivio rolled her mis-colored eyes and picked her little brother up and giggled at him. "Fate-mama's silly, huh?" All she got was a happy look on Isamu's face as he laughed and kicked his feet in the air harmlessly.
Rita laughed softly. "Come on inside. There's not many people around right now. But that'll change in two days."
Yuuno, Nanoha and Fate all looked at her in confusion as she smirked at them. "I'm not sure that I..."
"Family reunion!" Rita exclaimed, grinning happily. "The news of Yuuno getting engaged and coming home has gotten all of the clan abuzz." She sighed softly. "It's too bad that only a small portion of them will make it here in two days, but there will be lots of your cousins that you haven't seen in so long!"
Vivio blinked as she heard that and walked over to Yuuno and tugged on his pant-legs while holding Isamu. "Yuuno-papa?"
"Hmm?" He asked, kneeling down to look her in the eye. "What is it, Vivio?"
"Does this mean that there's going to be a lot of ferrets running around here?" She asked innocently, getting a sweat-drop from Yuuno while Nanoha face-faulted and Fate laughed nervously.
Shaking his head, Yuuno chuckled at her. "No, Vivio. Not everyone turns into ferrets like I can."
"Oh..." Vivio blinked a few times, before nodding. "Okay."
Smiling, Yuuno gently took Isamu from Vivio as he stood up. "Come on, let's get inside and get our stuff put away."
"Okay." Vivio grinned at him as she and her mamas followed him inside.
Watching them walk inside, Rita smiled happily, glad for Yuuno. If anyone in the clan had managed to go out and make a life for themselves, it was Yuuno.
Spoiler for Notes:
The "Go dad" thing is something I stole, err, borrowed from Kaijo, who wrote a rather humorous fic where Genya ended up married to Megane, Lindy and Shamal.
The "No camera, girl, no camera." came as a shout-out to Rambal Ral from the original Gundam series when he went "This is no Zaku, boy, no Zaku." to Amuro Ray. If you know anything about the original Gundam, then you know that Amuro Ray was called "The White Devil" there, just like Nanoha's called the White Devil in her series.
Yuuno not remembering who his family is? That goes against fanfiction, right? Well, honestly, yeah, but let's face it, we all have lots of aunts, uncles and cousins in our families (anyone born from the 1970s to 1980s tends to have parents that have at least 8 brothers and/or sisters) and it's not easy keeping them all in order. Doubly so when you don't see them for years.
The title name, when I started this, I had just recovered from a nasty cold myself, so it worked rather well for the chapter title.

My fics Due to certain things, I am not here, find me over on TFF.
Okay. I was trying to write the Chrono x Fate fic, but it turned out into something else altogether. Since I found it amusing enough, I decided to post here anyway.
Spoiler for Best Place:
"Huuu-hu-hmmmmm..." I smiled at her when she started to humm that song. I can't even imagine how my life would be without her after all these years. We've been together for ten or so years now. And I'm still unable to convey very well everything she means to me.
She opened her eyes and looked directly at mine. "Hi. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah." I answered. She's beatiful, just beatiful. I love everything about her.
"We need to get over with this so we can go back, right?" She said as she continued keying the panel in front of her.
"I'm already done. Just waiting for you, actually?" I said, as I laid my head on the table, looking at her. Memories of our recent mission going through my head. Flashes of pink light going everywhere I couldn't get. I felt safe, whenever she was with me. Strange, isn't it? I always felt that it was my duty to protect her.
She pouted. "Mou. I'll finish this right away, okay?" She's just so cute while pouting like this.
"Don't worry. It's not like we're pressed on by time, you know?" Damn, she's just too cute. "I really love you." I smiled. She blushed heavily, before I realized. "D-Did I just said that out loud?" My eyes widening as I sat up.
She meekly waved her head in a nod. "Hm..."
"It-It's not that... I mean, it is, but it's not..." I tried to stammer something to get me out of that situation. Anything would be good enough.
"I-I need to finish this." Her hands seemed to work even more fast now on the keyboard, but I don't know if she was actually seeing anything anymore.
After a few awkward moments I decided to get up. "I'll go and warn everyone that we're leaving." And dashed out.
She tryed to say something but I didn't listened. All I wanted in that moment was some fresh air. But, as always happens when you think with hormones instead of the brain, I overlooked one fact. "Me too." Was the answer that came in our mental link.
My face got even hotter than it already was. If she said anything more I think I would have fainted.
"Care to take that dumb look out of your face?" One of my female friends said to me as soon as I entered the room. She was reading a book with a strange title. Must be in some of the languages she picked up through the years. "Grinning like a fool like this before your mother's marriage is creepy." She stated matter of factly. Then she looked behind me and smirked. "Ohoo... Okay. You can grin all you want."
I turned around to look where she was looking just to see the one I just left in the other room blushing and looking down. She slowly looked up to me only to avert her eyes back down again, embarrassed. She took a few steps forward in my direction without looking up and grabbed the third button on my shirt. She whispered something so softly that I didn't even hear it, then suddenly jumped up, latched her arms around my neck and kissed me. Her soft lips pressed against mine so tenderly that I felt the strenght in my body fading away until the moment I heard the other one whistle.
"Wow. Wait to go, girl." The other started clapping. "But could you guys care to take in your surroundings before doing something like this. This is a library, you know?"
Spoiler for Author Notes:
Of course, I wrote with a couple in mind, but I cut out some parts, so I think it could be read as more couples.
It should be pretty obvious who are them. But as most people who actually read my drabbles must have noticed, I like to write this kind of confusing thing. XD
I read through SO MANY threads and posts that the only thing I can vaguely remember is
1) Noe apparently loves his Fate pillow...a lot...
2) Godzilla
3) Floods and Uminari
4) Fate is right-handed while Alicia was left-handed (who knew...)
5) Decisions
6) Logs (YAY! XD)
7) Day in the Life is BACK! (lame reference to Night in the Museum 2...)
Ahem....
@Deathcurse: I love the family interaction between Nanoha and her family. Though I was kinda scared to read that Nanoha was acting normal (or as normal as she can be but you get my point).
@Nanya:*hugs Hayate plushie* I can't wait to read more on Yuuno's family. :3
Hurray, a new chapter! Not surprising Hayate would get sick considering all the stress she's been under. Stress does weaken the immune system, making people more sucectable to illness. Wendi's cleared the air with Genya and Nove's working on her feelings too.
I like the last part of this chapter the most and yeah, it understandable Yuuno wouldn't quite remember all the members of his clan, especially since it's been established that he hasn't had much contact with them over the years.
Nanoha being the White Devil is just a fan nickname, though. No one in the series actually calls her that

Poor Hayate! All her work finally caught up to her . It was cute to see her family so concerned, and I liked how there were references to her as their family and as their Mistress...it does beg the question of just how they view her, and what they would do as her "family" as opposed to their "mistress"...or I'm just overthinking it .
Nove's lampshading of Lindy's improbable appearance-vs-her-age made me laugh .

"Care to take that dumb look out of your face?" One of my female friends said to me as soon as I entered the room. She was reading a book with a strange title. Must be in some of the languages she picked up through the years. "Grinning like a fool like this before your mother's marriage is creepy." She stated matter of factly. Then she looked behind me and smirked. "Ohoo... Okay. You can grin all you want."
I turned around to look where she was looking just to see the one I just left in the other room blushing and looking down. She slowly looked up to me only to avert her eyes back down again, embarrassed. She took a few steps forward in my direction without looking up and grabbed the third button on my shirt. She whispered something so softly that I didn't even hear it, then suddenly jumped up, latched her arms around my neck and kissed me. Her soft lips pressed against mine so tenderly that I felt the strenght in my body fading away until the moment I heard the other one whistle.
"Wow. Wait to go, girl." The other started clapping. "But could you guys care to take in your surroundings before doing something like this. This is a library, you know?"
Spoiler for Author Notes:
Of course, I wrote with a couple in mind, but I cut out some parts, so I think it could be read as more couples.
It should be pretty obvious who are them. But as most people who actually read my drabbles must have noticed, I like to write this kind of confusing thing. XD
Whew, I see what you mean by it being vague! I admit, I personally don't like reading vague stories...it makes it too hard to cement down in my mind what nuances I should be picking up from the story, since I would interpret details differently depending on which character it was...
Mother's marriage? So if it was Chrono, then who is Lindy marrying? ....

I read through SO MANY threads and posts that the only thing I can vaguely remember is
1) Noe apparently loves his Fate pillow...a lot...
2) Godzilla
3) Floods and Uminari
4) Fate is right-handed while Alicia was left-handed (who knew...)
5) Decisions
6) Logs (YAY! XD)
7) Day in the Life is BACK! (lame reference to Night in the Museum 2...)
Ahem....
@Deathcurse: I love the family interaction between Nanoha and her family. Though I was kinda scared to read that Nanoha was acting normal (or as normal as she can be but you get my point).
@Nanya:*hugs Hayate plushie* I can't wait to read more on Yuuno's family. :3
*falls asleep*
Alavon! XD *glomps*
Normal as in sky-diving, or as in keeping secrets? I admit, it was RB who suggested the heavy family-centric story, and it was interesting to write Nanoha's side of things . I think I like writing Fate's POV more because then it makes Nanoha's sudden, crazy and unexpected actions funnier !
Glad you liked ^^, and that you're out of hibernation!
Corrections in the quote. Though I can't quite figure out who's who in this fic, so could you toss me a bone, please?
Spoiler for Bones:
It was supposed to be Caro x Erio, from Erio's POV and the woman at the library being Lutecia, following the ViVid timeline, ten years after the disband of Riot 6.
Thanks again, man. Already edited the post too.

Wew. Thank god you were only hibernating. I thought that you got fed up with the story, since you didn't commented anymore. (assuming the number 5 is about the fic XD )

. I've never read MGLN BlazerS, so if those are the characters kaname08 was referring to, then my apologies.

The original thought was supposed to be that it caused some serious conflict in Nanoha during first season, because she was in a situation where she would have also benefited from gathering the Jewel Seeds and had to resist the urge for the greater good.
