My partner in crime recently made a Fanfiction.net account but is unable to upload anything until at least tomorrow (You know that thing you have to have an account 'x' old... Something like that) so I'm posting this on his behalf.
So I didn't write this. His Fanfiction.net penname is cannonballninja. Spoiler for Arc-en-Ciel:
It'll be up on Fanfiction.net tomorrow.

Let me say right now: The dialog is very awkward. I don't even know if it's Erika, or if it's Fate speaking.
If that's intensional, that's a really bad way to present it, because I can't make heads or tails. It's an interesting premise, but the dialog makes it hard to follow.

Hmmm really? As a general rule of thumb when only two people are involved in speaking dialog generally goes in a alternating order, unless otherwise noted.
i.e. "Blah" said A "Blah" said B "Blah" "Blahblah" It'd be assumed the 3rd is A responding to B and then the 4th is B responding to A. Of course if it had gone... "Blah" said A "Blah" said B "Blah" "Blahblah" Said A You'd be noting 'A' spoke again before B did. Although usually then you'd just connect it... ("Blah" said A, "Blah") Not to be like saying you did anything wrong or anything @.@; Just pointing that out if it helps any at all. You generally shouldn't need to note whom is speaking after every line of dialog unless multiple characters are involved.

Yeah, but the thing is, the dialog between the two are messed into one paragraph, and that makes it incredibly hard to discern. That's my problem.
That's why it is common practice that every time a different person speaks, it's a new paragraph, like you've done. But in the one you posted, I can't tell if it's Fate or Erika because their dialog is all in the same paragraph. And here's a little something for you guys that you might enjoy ^^ Spoiler for Ways to write long one person dialog:

Guitar is fine, I just gave my opinon :P Also what G-man said is true. I read a bit of the stoy and I was lost in the dialog. Two people speaking in same paragraph really made me lost it. Example: Spoiler for story is long:
That really lost me. Best solution is to just make it different paragraphs then it's fine :3

Don’t worry too much about the “constructive criticism” made by Satashi, an average reader like me normally doesn’t worry about that kind of technical stuff if the fic can be read without problems, the only thing that that really matters is if you like writing it and if the readers are enjoying your work as well.

The sound of an annoyingly peppy J-pop song woke me very rudely from my sleep. My eyes opened lightly and say the image of Nanoha literally falling out of my bed as she reached towards the phone on my dresser. A few seconds passed as the song continued before I saw a hand reach up and flip open the phone to cut it off. It was way too early to be awake, especially after staying up until three in the morning tutoring my friend. Her figure appeared slowly as she crawled up from the floor and stretched out widely in an attempt to wake herself up more. Finally she turned to me and bent over so our faces were close to each other's. A smile greeted me so I sleepily smiled back before getting a peck to the forehead. She had wanted to wake up a little early today and the reason became clear when she reached into her backpack and pulled out a girlish diary, complete with a small golden key to unlock the side strap keeping it closed. Ignoring my friend's desire to write her thoughts in a book, I closed my eyes and tried to get another half hour of sleep before school.

Lol about Nanoha and Yuuno sleeping together . I can't help but feel amused by the image of Yuuno being annoyed by Nanoha's alarm and trying to get a few more precious minutes of sleep, ha ha xD.
Nice intro there ^^ Let's hope the chapter will be done and posted tonight ^^

Wait, that's yuuno?!
err, i can just imagine the look on fate's face if someone informs her of that little arrangement... "They sleep with each other every now and then." fate:......"They what?!" And it's misunderstandings galore after that.

Followed by the very same face that fate has in satashi's avatar Edit: Rest up satashi, if you're too tired to think straight, your stories will end up having excess amounts of crack, hilarious, and reanimated chipmunks on fire. Edit 2: note to self (6am): do not take naps during the day even if you're tired...
