@ Satashi: more Syn/Vivio story, i can't wait to read.
Have a teaser:
Spoiler for NSFWa:
Vivio grinned, running her palms over Syn's stomach. "Oh come on," She whispered into her ear happily. "Give them a little fanservice..." Playfully she rubbed her hands over her friend's stomach and slowly worked the clothing upwards.
The cheering did little to ease Syn's blushing Fate. "Vivio..." The name was whispered embarrassedly as the girl behind her folded the shirt bottom over her thumbs and pulled upwards to reveal a black lacy training bra. "I'm going to die," The cheers turned to screams of approval and Vivio bit her ear lightly, tailing her palm over the milky white skin.
The shirt was teasingly brought back down and then back up again with another rub of Vivio's hand. The fabric was holstered up slowly and the red and green eye'd girl winked at the on lookers before finally taking it above Syn's bra fully. Black sheer fabric laced with dark purple bows was revealed to cover the non-existent chest of the blue haired one. Arms were lifted slowly and the sweater was finally removed completely.
Blue hair was quickly shifted to try and hide as much as it could and the blushing girl felt a fanservicy peck on her cheek. "Whoa!" The girl supervising the game felt herself at a loss for words. "Now that is what we're talking about!" Several people hooped and hollered at the two blushing girls standing in the livingroom. "This is going to be one wild party!"

Lol, Wanwan. I wonder how Syn got into this whole mess.
Yay! Had more time today so finished the 3rd piece... Yay for minimal angst projects! >.< And yes, the AU world of Artist!Fate is one in which It's All Relative.
Spoiler for Artist!Fate- pt3/End:
Part 3- Fate and Nanoha.
Fate cursed. Badly. "N-Nanoha, what are you doing here?"
Nanoha took a step back, and Fate realized she had been a bit harsh. "Um, g... good morning?"
Fate looked at Nanoha and then followed her gaze to the painting. Sighing, she relaxed her guard and muttered, "It's not finished yet. You shouldn't look at it yet."
Nanoha shook her head vigorously, taking the implicit invitation to step forward to get a better look. A gray shadow of an outline could be seen against the canvas, perhaps as guidelines for the paint that went over it. The hair and the body was largely colored in but... the face was left blank, as if she were a mere shadow of a person.
Fate repeated, "It's not done."
Nanoha nodded simply. The silence extended.
"Why are you even here? Did you come looking for me? It's still really early."
"Ah!" Nanoha remembered why she had left the house in the first place. But seeing the painting, even unfinished, made her realize that her weak attempts would pale in comparison. Fate might even lose all sense of inspiration and stop painting. And it would be her fault. Nanoha shook her head. "I-It's nothing. I was just... felt like seeing your face."
Nanoha blushed almost as red as Fate did. Even though it was consciously a lie... now that she was here, she began to doubt that it was. "It..." Fate smiled hesitantly. "It's good to see you too."
Nanoha fidgeted. If she stuck around much longer, she might actually give Fate her horrible cookies. She took a step back. "Um... well... I should go... I promised my mom I'd help open up the store today." Another lie. Why was she lying for?
Fate didn't seem to notice. "Ah... oh. Will you come by later?"
Nanoha blinked, unsure. "Do you want me to?"
Fate turned her head away, though her gaze flicked over to Nanoha several times as she spoke. "We... we're having a party tonight... Dinner... Maybe some dancing... will you come?"
"At the studio? From when?" Nanoha wondered if she had time to come over. She probably did but...
"It'll be at my father's house... I'll walk with you there if you come to the stuido around 5... It's not far."
It occurred to Nanoha to ask, "What's the occasion?"
Fate blinked and looked at her, the blush fading. "Didn't I ever tell you?" She started to look hurt. "Or did you forget?"
"Forget what?" Nanoha looked as confused as she felt.
"Then... you coming this far out to find me was... a coincidence?"
Nanoha frowned. She didn't like seeing Fate sad. "Maybe I didn't. What are you referring to?"
"Today's my birthday. My 21st."
"But you said..." Nanoha stopped, realizing that it /was/ about two weeks since they met. "Oh. It was today? You never said. You only said it was 'in two weeks'."
Fate looked away. "It's okay. But can you come? I know it's short notice but..."
Nanoha grinned. "I'd love to. My mom probably won't mind either. Hmm... should I dress up?"
"Ah... don't feel you need to. It'll be casual."
"Oh... okay." Nanoha paused. Why was Fate so quiet all of a sudden? "Fate?"
"Hm?"
"Are you all right?"
Fate blinked as if she were just coming out of a trance. "Hm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, I'm not a very talkative morning person."
"Tired?" Despite Nanoha's earlier desire to leave, she found herself stalling for time to stay. "Did you stay up late?"
"Not really. I went to bed relatively early..." Fate smiled. "For me at least."
Nanoha frowned, but didn't really question it. She looked at the painting again. "When do you think you'll be done?"
"On some level, I don't think I'll ever be done. But I'll be done with the basic coloring by tonight. After that it's just tweaking and modifying for effect."
"That soon?"
Fate looked at her. "I have the day off, so I have time to paint. I'll be going back to the studio before people start walking around here though."
"Oh..."
"Why? What are you thinking?"
"Ah, nothing!" Nanoha laughed nervously even as she considered what she would get for Fate as a birthday present. These cookies definitely wouldn't suffice. "Um, um, I'll see you tonight then. I'll leave you to your, um, work."
Fate continued to give her an odd, confused look, but nodded. "I'll be waiting."
Nanoha raised a hand as if she was going to gesture about something, but it fell limply back to her side. "Um... yeah. Bye." With that, Nanoha rather unceremoniously ran off.
--
The daytime hours passed rather quickly, with Nanoha frantically looking for something that she could passably give to Fate as a gift. It had to be something good, something worthy of someone artistic like Fate who cared more about feelings than material value. It was a little past the lunch rush hour when she hit upon an idea and went looking for the necessary instruments to help implement her plan.
Meanwhile, Fate passed a rather boring day painting, although she did receive many the occasional visit from the neighborhood children who came bearing gifts like worshippers to an altar. It was sweet, but her thoughts were centered more on Nanoha. What would she give her? Would she give her anything at all? Fate still had to think of what she would get for Nanoha for her birthday in another couple of weeks. She knew there was no obligation to do so, but she still wanted to nonetheless.
Around four, Fate put down her paintbrush, gave her work a sweeping glance, and then placed a light cover over it. She was just getting out of the shower when Precia knocked on the bathroom door.
"Fate, Nanoha-chan is here."
"Okay, tell her I'll be out in a second."
"Hmm... It's been 'a second', Fate."
"Precia-san! I'll be ready in ten minutes tops!"
Precia chuckled. "If you say so, Fate. I'll be downstairs keeping her company then."
"All right."
Fate scurried around upstairs, hopping across the room as she tried to put on a sock while going from the bathroom to her bedroom. She ended up tripping and falling on her bed, but she picked herself up again quickly and continued getting ready. Soon, after a last glance in the mirror, Fate headed downstairs. "Sorry to keep you wai-"
"11 minutes and 2 seconds. Tsk, tsk Fate."
Fate rolled her eyes. "Whatever, I'm here now, aren't I? Sorry, Nanoha."
Nanoha smiled and shook her head. "No, it's okay. Are we all going now?"
Precia nodded. "If little Miss-thinks-she-can-keep-guests-waiting-just-because-she's-the-birthday-girl hasn't forgotten anything, we can leave right now."
Fate was about to retort when she remembered something, looked in her purse, cursed, and ran up the stairs again.
When she returned, Precia teased, "What did you forget? Keys?"
Fate answered, "I refilled Arf's food and water bowls."
Nanoha asked, "She's not coming with us?"
Fate shook her head. "Father doesn't like Arf in his house. He thinks she's plotting a one-animal conspiracy against him to shed on every single piece of furniture possible."
"Oh..." Nanoha laughed and started walking towards the door when Fate placed a guiding hand on her shoulder. "Does he-"
"Nanoha, is that a guitar?"
Nanoha followed Fate's gaze and tapped the case affectionately. "Yeah. Do you mind if I play a little something at the party?"
Fate shook her head vigorously. "Do whatever you want."
"Within reason, of course," Precia added. Fate nodded as if that was what she had been implying.
The walk to their destination was filled with light chatter about Fate's Father and his adopted children with odd nicknames based on when they were adopted. Nanoha shared a little about her family, her family's bakery, and about herself, mainly through questions from Precia, who hadn't had as much time to chat with Nanoha.
"Well, this is it."
Nanoha stopped and stared. "I thought you said we were going to your father's house."
"We are. This is where Father lives."
Nanoha pointed at the big pearly gates and stammered, "T-That's not a house! That's a mansion!"
Fate pouted. "Same difference, isn't it?"
Nanoha huffed as Precia secured clearance for them, allowing them to walk up the long driveway to the front entrance. "About as much difference as Arf being a chihuahua."
Fate grinned and took Nanoha's hand, running down the path with her friend in tow. "Come on, don't sweat the small details!"
At the door, a purple-haired maid bowed as Fate arrived at her own party, although it was a small family gathering nonetheless. Well, it was about as small as anything else recently associated with Fate at least. Attending were, aside from Nanoha, Fate, and Precia, Fate's father who liked to pretend he was hip by having people call him JS (only to be called Mr. Spaghetti instead), his ten adopted children, his second wife, and his wife's child by another man, Suzuka. Considering Suzuka had been classmates with Nanoha since grade school, it was a bit surprising that Nanoha had never met Fate before now, but Fate explained that she rarely went to this house and she didn't know Suzuka very well at all. Upon seeing 'the Numbers' again, however, Nanoha did recognize a few, although there were many new faces among them. Even still, she didn't feel as nervous as she had walked out of her house feeling.
Shortly after re-introductions had been made, dinner was served, and that was a grand affair, with nearly every seat of the long table being filled. Nanoha commended the cooks for putting all this together so quickly, to which Suzuka leaned over and whispered to Nanoha that they had been cooking all day in preparation for this.
While everyone was relaxing in the living room afterwards, a chant started up for Fate's sake, sounding very much like, "Open gifts, open gifts, open..."
To which Fate looked at her parents, who nodded approvingly.
It was then that one of the Numbers (Nanoha forgot which) suggested that they play a game where everyone put their gifts in the middle of the room and mixed it all up. Fate would then be blindfolded and be forced to crawl through the barrage of gifts. Whichever one she picked up would be the one she opened. This plan was a bit flawed in nature, but as it gave the Numbers a chance to make Fate dizzy, they didn't really care.
Nanoha looked down at the small giftbox she had brought and while everyone was running around like geckos with their tails cut off, she discreetly placed hers in the farthest corner possible from where Fate was spinning half-heartedly.
And then it started.
As Nanoha expected, Fate reached everyone else's gifts before hers, and she was content with that. On the thirteenth gift (As only fourteen people were there to give her gifts), Fate peeked around to see where the last one was and that was when she caught Nanoha watching her. Watching her with a knowing smirk.
But as Fate looked around, she couldn't see the last gift. She knew it had to be Nanoha's so... or had she tricked her? Tricked her into believing there was a gift when there wasn't?
"Nanoha~ hint?"
Nanoha chuckled. "Put the blindfold back on."
Reluctantly, Fate did so, moving towards where she thought Nanoha was, but stopped when she heard movement. When she stopped, they stopped. She moved forward again, and they moved as well. Fate tried to follow the rustling as best she could, but as she was crawling on all fours, it was difficult to discern anything from her own rustling. Eventually, however, her hands closed over something small, a box, and she stopped again.
As she was taking off the blindfold, she felt warm arms wrap around her, and she smiled when she looked into Nanoha's eyes.
And then Nanoha was gone, walking back to her seat. Fate noticed Nanoha saying a few words to her parents before pulling out her guitar, but set her sights on opening the gift. Her heart beat a mile a minute thinking it might be something extreme like a promise ring or expensive earrings, as that was the type of box that it came in.
She was more than a little confused when she found a gleaming yellow triangle... a pendant? But it wasn't the type of material typical of pendants... She held it in her hand, the box falling amongst the haphazard mess of all the other gifts, and she looked up at Nanoha.
Except... Nanoha wasn't at her seat anymore.
The maid was just placing down a stool in the middle of the room, where a lone light shone down on whoever sat on it. Nanoha sat down, setting the guitar on her lap as she requested, "Fate, I'll show you what my gift is for. Could I borrow it for this song?"
Wordlessly, Fate walked over to Nanoha and placed the triangle in her hand. The slightest of tingles danced between their fingers at the contact, but neither said anything about it. At Nanoha's gesture, Fate sat down just a little in front of Nanoha, oblivious to the fact that everyone else had gathered 'round to listen as well.
After a few practice strums, using the triangular pendant as a buffer for her fingers, Nanoha cleared her throat and began to sing.
[cue song]
Hmmmmm...
If I were a painter, mixing my colors
How could I ever find, the [red] of your eyes?
The canvas can never, capture the light of your smile
Of your smile
Fate smiled, remembering how much she had agonized over the same problem, regarding her painting of Nanoha. Nanoha smiled just then, only affirming to Fate that it was an explicably wondrous feeling, receiving that smile. She felt like she was looking upon an angel... except better because Nanoha was a living, breathing person right in front of her.
And girl, if I were a sculptor, working in marble
I couldn't hope, to copy your perfect face
The curve of your body, the feel of your skin
My hands could never, ever trace
Fate blushed, recalling the day before when her hands had traced Nanoha's body. Until that day, she had considered scrapping the painting and making a 3-D sculpture, but the realization that it was a futile effort stopped her. Cold, hard marble was nothing compared to holding Nanoha's warm body, and she was reminded of it again just now when Nanoha had hugged her. She felt the sudden urge to hug Nanoha again, but restrained herself.
Chorus:
So I'll try and find a melody as beautiful as you
Find the words to say your eyes are [redder] than [red]
Fill my voice with the emotion I'm feeling for you
And now, when the beat is so strong
I'll give my heart in a song
She could feel her heart beating faster within her chest as Nanoha's voice rang out, proud, clear, as perfect as the rest of her. Well, if one had cared to point out mistakes, Nanoha seemed to have difficulty hitting high notes with both her voice and the guitar, having to concentrate on either one or the other, but Fate didn't care. She knew what Nanoha was trying to convey, because it was the same thing her own work was attempting to show the world.
Oh girl
If I were an actor, I could be someone
Someone who'd always know, the right things to say
But as soon as I'd see you, I'd forget all my lines
And you'll never know, what I feel inside
Fate closed her eyes as she let the words and the memories they invoked spill over her. They had only know each other a short two weeks, but it had felt like so much longer. Their first day together, Fate spoke to her as she might a close friend turned rival, and her mouth has said things her mind would never had had courage to say otherwise. She remembered being stunned by the suddenness of her appearance, the undeniable feeling of being a godsend from her muse that had gone on vacation. When Nanoha started to respond in kind, her mouth had lost its bravado, leaving her confused mind and haphazardly happy heart to pick up the pieces.
So I'll try and find a melody as beautiful as you
Find the words to say your eyes are [redder] than [red]
Fill my voice with the emotion I'm feeling for you
And now, when the beat is so strong
I'll give my heart in a song
Fate opened her eyes slowly, returning Nanoha's steady gaze. Her gentle smile. An expression of pure adoration for the one she was looking at. Fate noticed that the music was slowing.
There's no other way (no other way)
That I know to say (I know to say)
Baby, how much I love you
And if you'll only give me a chance
Fate flushed, wondering if Nanoha really meant it. Her eyes said she did, but it was just a song, wasn't it? Not every word could be taken literally. Fate steeled herself for the off chance that Nanoha didn't love her the way she loved Nanoha. And all the while, her heart willingly melted at Nanoha's song.
Oh girl,
(Chorus x2)
I'll do, I'll do what I do
You know why, know why?
Your eyes are bluer than blue
Uh huh, yeah,
I said I'll do what I do
I'll give my heart in a song
You know I'm not a painter, actor, baby
It dont matter
I'll give my heart in a song
Oh, you're so beautiful
Give you my heart in a song
Nanoha strummed the last few notes, her voice becoming almost as soft as a whisper, "Oh, you're so beautiful... Give you... my heart in a song..." After a few seconds, she let the guitar fall silent, as she held the triangle pendant out to Fate. "I may not be as talented as you, Fate, but you have become my inspiration and have strengthened my resolve to improve myself. This pendant, Bardiche, represents the way you bring out... more beauty in myself than I may ever recognize... and... when I'm with you... it doesn't hurt to spread my wings and experience new things... new feelings... But in any case... Happy birthday, Fate. I... I hope you liked it. Because... because..."
Fate stood up then and put a finger over Nanoha's lips as the other hand closed over Bardiche. "Thank you, Nanoha. I loved it. And I'll treasure this forever."
"Fate..."
Whistles and cheers from their audience caused simultaneous blushes to sprout up on their cheeks, but neither really minded. The party continued, neither saying anything in particular about Nanoha's gift until Fate was walking Nanoha home afterwards.
"It's not yours?"
"The guitar? No, of course not." Nanoha laughed nervously. "I don't own a guitar. This is my dad's. I borrowed it for tonight. Ah, but Bardiche is yours now. So don't worry about that. Keep it."
Fate smiled wide as she realized what her birthday gift for Nanoha would be. "Do you like playing guitar? You never mentioned it before."
"Nyahaha..." Nanoha rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "I learned from my dad, but I stopped playing several years ago."
"Oh... why?" Fate hastily added, "If you don't mind me asking."
"It's all right." Nanoha stretched and placed her hands behind her back. "Dad got really busy with the store after that and... I don't know, I kind of just... lost interest. It's one of those things where you think, "if no one's listening, why am I playing", you know?"
Fate nodded sympathetically. "But you played really well tonight."
Nanoha laughed. "No I didn't. That was so-so. My dad can play it much much better."
"I still liked it." Hesitantly, Fate reached for Nanoha's hand, and was rewarded when Nanoha wrapped her fingers around Fate's. "I liked it... because you were singing it for me."
Nanoha trailed to a stop as they came close to the park where they had met. Turning to Fate, she said, "Fate... I have to tell you something."
Fate tilted her head to the side, silently prompting her to continue.
"I... I want... I like..." Nanoha closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath before trying again. "Fate, I really, honestly, truly... like you. I won't jinx myself and say 'love' just yet, but I think that might be a possibility, too. But... what I wanted to ask you was... do you think... we could be... more than friends?"
Fate smiled as she gently squeezed Nanoha's hand. "Nanoha... I 'really honestly truly like' you too. And I was just thinking... if we could be more than just girl and girl, artist and inspiration. And for tonight... as a thank you for tonight... I'd really like to... kiss you..."
Nanoha smiled as she broke her connection with Fate's hand and pulled her closer. "Why are you blushing over such a little thing? You've kissed me before, without asking even.
Fate protested, "That was just on the cheek! I mean..."
"I know." Nanoha leaned over, her lips just barely grazing Fate's, encouraging her to go further. Fate took the bait, closing the distance between them, her eyes drifting closed as her lips touched those soft lips she had tried for hours on end to replicate to the closest thing to perfect as she could.
It was an impossible feat.
But this, this right here, right now, with Nanoha in her arms, kissing Nanoha...
This, was art in it's purest form.
~End~
And yay for open-ended "this is just the beginning" endings?
...you mind notifying when/if you add the epilogue? Really good ending... even if its an open one

Special thanks to Satashi for letting me do this one :3
Spoiler for Give us your screen time:
“Help the shafted,” Zafira called out from his street corner. “Help the shafted!”
Yuuno, still having trouble thinking of what to do with his life started to walk by the wolf man, completely oblivious to him.
“Ooh hey Yuuno.”
Yuuno stopped and looked down, blinking. “Hmm…”
“Give me a second,” Zafira pointed at his hat. “Here in my hat. Come on Yuuno~ it’s as easy as that!”
Yuuno looked the other ways.
Zafira nudged him. “Helping others brings you closer to Satashi. So give me a second.”
“W-well I don’t have that little.”
“Hmm okay then,” Zafira shrugged, “Give me a minute.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Give me five.”
Yuuno choked, “Are you kidding?”
“The more you give. The more you get,” Zafira grinned, “That’s being alive! All I’m asking you is to do what Jesus Christ would do. He’d give me a second, why don’t you”.
“All right, all right, here you go,” Yuuno rolled his eyes and threw a bit of his minor screen time in Zafira’s hat.
“Thanks,” Zafira shook the second around.
“Woah!” Yuuno stiffened up, a far away look forming in his eyes.
“What’s the matter?” Zafira wasn’t really concerned it was more of a reflex.
“I feel generous! I feel compassionate!”
“Really?” Zafira had been making the stuff about Satashi and Jesus up.
“Yeah! I feel like a new person - a good person! Helping other people out makes you feel fantastic!” Yuuno threw his arms up.”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you-”
Yuuno continued with his new revelation, “All this time I’ve been running around thinking about me, me, me - and where has it gotten me! I’m gonna do something for someone else!”
Zafira looked hopeful, “Me?”
“No! Hayate! I’m gonna get her the screen time to make that pointless OVA for the shafted she’s been talking about.”
Zafira blinked.
Yuuno turned to Zafira, “Give me your screen time!”
“What!”
“I need it for Hayate!”
“I need it to not be forgotten!”
“Come on Zaffy!” Yuuno inched towards Zafira.
“Get lost,” Zafira growled.
“It’ll make you feel great!”
“So would an episode!”
“When her dream comes true, It’ll all be partly. Thanks to you. So give me your screen time!'
“I’d like to, but I can’t.
“Give me your screen time!”
“I’d like to, but I need it!”
“Give me your screen time!”
Zafira took a deep breathe, “I’d like to, but I’m shafted!
I can’t! I need it! I’m shafted!
I can’t! I need it! I’m shafted!
I can’t! I need it! I’m shafted!”
Yuuno slapped him.
Zafira blinked then handed Yuuno the hat, “Okay, here you go.”
“Thank you!” Yuuno grinned as a sudden surge took over Zafira.
“Suddenly, I am feeling closer to Satashi. It’s time to stop begging It’s time to start giving! What can I give to Nanoha?” Ever since Nanoha’s fight with Fate the girl had been living on Zafira’s couch. “Something she’ll give to Fate so Fate’ll her back and out of my living room. Ooh, I know! I’ll find Fate a girlfriend!”
“That’s the spirit!” Yuuno laughed
They both started to sing at once. “When you help others, you can’t help helping yourself! When you help others, you can’t help helping yourself!”
“Hey boys, what’s the hat for?” Arf walked up to the two.
“Ooh, we’re collecting screen time!” Zafira pointed at his hat.
“It’s for Hayate!” Yuuno offered eagerly, “We’re raising screen time to help make her OVA for the shafted!”
“Give us your screen time!” Yuuno held up the hat.
“You’ll be glad that you did!” Zafira added on.
“That’s just what the screenwriters told me, in season two. Hmph,” She crossed her arms and looked away.”
“But giving feels so great...”
Arf looked at Yuuno, “And I bet it wouldn’t hurt. Your chances with Hayate.”
Yuuno blushed, “Well, that too.”
“I’ll give you a minute,”
“You’re a gentlewolf. And a scholar.”
Amy and Chrono came down the street. Amy giddily exclaimed. “We're so happy! We just bribed the producers with all your wedding gifts!”
Chrono’s eye’s widened, “Honey, don’t tell THEM that!”
“We got about three episodes worth of screen time!”
Chrono loosened his collar, “Uh, yeah, so - thanks, everybody!”
“We’re famous!”
Yuuno looked at them for a minute before launching forward, “Give us your screen time!”
Followed by Zafira, “Give us your screen time!”
And then Arf, “Give us your goddamn screen time!"
“Give us the dough!” Yuuno thrust the hat at them.
Arf and Zafira soon followed suit, “Give us the dough!”
The three of them sung at once, “We’re raising screen time for a shafted OVA, but we’ve got a ways to go.”
Yuuno nudged Chrono, “Sounds like you’ve got screen time to burn.”
Zafira rolled his eyes, “And it’s not like screen time that you had to earn.”
“So give us your screen time –”
Amy looked at her husband, “A shafted OVA?”
Chrono shrugged, “Sounds like a good cause but...”
Amy tugged on her husband’s tie, “Give me your screen time.” She dumped some time in the hat.
Yuuno looked ecstatic, “Oh my gosh! I don’t know how to thank you guys. I mean, Hayate will be so grateful! That kind of screen time is such a great start...”
Arf counted the minutes, “Yeah, 15 minutes.”
“15 minutes?” Yuuno facepalmed.
“Every little bit help,” Amy chuckled half heartedly.
Zafira looked determined, “Looks like we’re gonna have to ask MORE people!”
All of them turned to the invisible 4th wall and addressed all of those on it’s other side. “Hey!
Give us your screen time!
All that you’ve got!
Just fork it on over...”
Arf grabbed Yuuno, “Or some ferrets will get shot!”
Yuuno wriggled, “Hey!”
They all started up again and tossed the hat outside of the 4th wall, “It’s time to pass the hat.”
Arf finished up, “And there’s nothing you can do ‘bout that.”
They all gave the grand finale, “So give us your screen time!
Give us your screen time!
Give us your screen time!
When you help others,
You can’t help helping yourself!
When you help others,
You can’t help helping yourself!
Every time you
Do good deeds
You’re also serving
Your own needs.
When you help others,
You can’t help helping yourself!
When you give
To a worthy cause
You’ll feel as jolly
As Santa Clause.
When you help others,
You can’t
Help
Helping yourself!”
Amy looked down at the much fuller hat, “How much did we get?”
Yuuno sighed, “Not enough I’m afraid.”
Chrono clapped him on the back, “Never say never, Yuuno. We haven’t asked one last person.”
They all threw rocks at the window of one Vice and his roommate Griffith.
“NO! NO! NO! Go away. We’re busy.” Vice stuck his head out the window as did Griffith.
“But it’s for good cause,” Amy called up.
“What’s in it for us? Go away!” Griffith rolled his eyes.
Yuuno looked down trodden, “I guess Hayate'll never get her OVA for the shafted.”
“What’d you say?” Vice and Griffith suddenly had kinder looks in their eyes.
Chrono crossed his arms, “Hayate wants to make an OVA for the shafted.”
Griffith and Vice started talking together, “OVA for the shafted. We’ve never heard of that…” Their talk soon turned to singing, “OVA for the shafted. OVA for lonely little shafted. When we were new characters in season three. Other characters thought we were lame, laughing at out lack of development—
“Wait a minute you had a backstory,” Griffith glared at Vice.
“—Now we have soundstages… and we’re barely in them… but we don’t need any soundstages if OVA a reality!”
“Here!” Vice and Griffith hauled up a giant sack. “We’ll give you ten episodes worth!”
Yuuno’s eyes bugged out, “Guys! Where’d you get all that screen time?”
Vice grinned and Griffith shrugged, “When there’s little screen time the only way to get a lot is… PORN!”
Everyone took a deep breath for the real finale, “When you help others,
You can't help helping yourself!
When you help others,
You can't help helping yourself!
Every time you
Do good deeds
You're also serving
Your own needs.
When you help others,
You can't
Help
Helping yourself!”
You cant have it, its my screen time...

Cuz while writing Shard Card other possibilities popped up in my head, but it was too late to really support them in my fic. ;_; And then I started thinking of other things...
Yeah, what I'm thinking of really wouldn't be a sequel at all, more like a follow up on the omakes featured in the epilogue... Still in the planning stages anyway. I might even write something completely unrelated before then.
Shard card what if... I cant describe how happy i am to hear that.
Killing humans was its way of entertaining itself. There was none that could stop “it”; the humans were cowards, pathetic. They just screamed when they were about to die… they were so much fun. “It” had decided to reside in an old mansion, since the young ones, in an attempt to give a false sense of valor, would enter the mansion and he had his food served.
The door opened, and the silhouette of a tall, muscular man, was seen. “It” was happy, an adult human had come, and by the look of it, he was a delicious specimen.
The human wear a long red coat and brown pants. The white haired human, stood still in the entrance waiting. The human started walking and “it” followed him slowly, thinking about how the human would taste. “It” never realized that the human slowly took out two guns from inside the coat. “It” groaned in pain. One of “it” tentacles, tried to hit the white haired but, in a second, the man pulled out a sword, half of his size, and cut the tentacle. Before “it” could do anything else, the white haired used the sword and started to cut the body of the creature.
“It”, blinded by the pain, moved its tentacles in an attempt to hit the human, but he quickly dodged the incoming the attacks and, in a fast move, stabbed “it´s” head with the sword. The monster roared one last time before ceasing to exist.

“Did you really do all of that Zaffy?” a young girl asked to the wolf.
“Yes, it was before I worked in the TSAB” the wolf said, and saw the girl yawn. “Now go to sleep” the wolf ordered and covered the girl´s body with a blanket.
“Good night Zaffy” the girl said sleepily.
Zafira what are you telling to Vivio? She is going to have nightmares.

Zafira what are you telling to Vivio? She is going to have nightmares.
Zafira forgot to mention how he saved the orphanage and cured cancer at the same time
Somehow I imagine Zafira ould be a great story teller, 'cause you wouldn't be able to tell what's true and what isn't with him
Zafira: And then there's the time I carried all of the wolkenritter to safety, while I was putting out a fire and preforming a riverdance for the prime minister of Japan.
Vivio: Woah really! *Wide eyes*
Yuuno: No no don't believe him. =-=;

...And now i imagine Zafira as Usopp of One Piece... the mental image... it burnsssssssssss ussssssssssssssssssss
Zafira what are you telling to Vivio? She is going to have nightmares.
Ahahaha that was SO dysfunctional it completely fit the scene. Quietly serious wolf fibbing away, while innocent yet subconsciously twisted Vivio nonchalantly brushes off horrible thoughts that any NORMAL child would have about tentacle monsters.
There should be more 'I, Zafira' bedtime story shorts here. *nod nod*
There should be more 'I, Zafira' bedtime story shorts here. *nod nod*

Yes, give your screen time for the Hayate OVA for the Shafted! That would be one interesting OVA. Give some poor characters a chance.
