The enormus Lake was quite, too quite, we had stoped cause of Jasper's coment
"W... What do you mean with something else?" Alphonse asked
"I mean that those villages weren't throwing the corpses to dispose of them... but to feed something"
"Shall we better turn around?" Helga asked, we had just advanced some meters
"Yes, we better return and find another way to cross the river" I said
We started to turn the boat with the rows and sudenly a sound was heared, like a whale, an enormus whale, the sound came from... the lake
"Did you hear that?" Helga asked
"Sounded like an animal" Jasper answered
"Are you kidding? If that's an animal, I can't imagine it's size!"
"Faster!" I comanded, we were rowing the fastest we could, the sound was heared again, closer and closer, in a moment I noticed that Karil was pale
"Karil? Are you allright?" She just pointed the water, when I checed it, I discovered an enormus shadow just below us, it was something like 12 meters,and worse, it was moving
"Stop, stop" I say in low voice, we all remained quietly, after some minutes the shadow dispeared and we can't hear the sound
"I think it's gone" Helga sayed with a nervous smile
Before anyone could answer, an explosion of water came from the lake at our right, from it, an gian shark, an enormus one, bigest that a gray whale apeared making a horrible roar, we were petrificed, we had never saw a Slave so big, this one was a colosus, after his horrble presentation it sumerege itself again
"My God!" Karil screamed
We started to row like hell, from the distance I could saw under the wather, this monster coming in direction to us, really really fast
"Is going to eat us alive!" Hekga screamed, I realise that the monster was going to hit us, that monster was not an idiot, he was trying to throw us out of the boat
"Hang on!" Was all that I coul comand
He past just below our boat with violence, it almost get overturned, I could fell how we were literally flying, thank to God the boat falled well, but Karil had just falled in the water
"Karil!!!" I screamed terrified when I saw her in the wather
"Help!!! Help me!!!" She was screaming, Karil couldn't swim, without thinking it twice, I jumped out of the boat to the wather and started to swim in direction to Karil
"Vivio!" My friends screamed, I reach Karil, but when I just toke her hand, the monster appear at the distance, it was aproaching fast, with his jaw open, showing his several razor sharp theets in direction to us
We both started to swim back to the boat, well, really I was pulling Karil, I sawHelga and Alphonse shooting, but the bullets don't even hurt the monster, Jasper was searching something in the boat
"Jasper, what are you doing?" I hear that Alphonse was asking
"This is a fisher's boat, there must been an arpoon her... I found it!" Jasper answered while taking out an arpoon and launching it against the monster, the arpoon get impaled into the creature, who makes a horrible sound and get sumerged again, the waves provoqued by the monster's sumerge launcehd Karil and me to the boat, Helga and Alphonse helped us to get in
"Did we have more Arpoons?" I asked, but before someone could answerme, the creature hitted us again
"This boat is not going to last long, and we can't kill that Slave with just Arpoons and normalbullets!" Jasper told me
"Theremust be something else in this boat!" Helga sayed
We starting to search in the boat something that may helpus, nothing but arpoonsand some reds
"How aboyt this?" Karil toke a strange box that was bvelowone of the sits we opened it waitig to saw something useless but by our surprise,the box had Dynamite!
"What the hell is doing a Fisher's boat with dynamite?" Helga asked
"Don't ask, just give the thanks!" Jasper answered at the time he grabbed one, turned it on with a match and launched it to the lake, the explosion launched tons of water up, we all started to do the same, launching the dynamites to random places in the lake with the hope of hitting the monster, suddenly the crature came from below and hited us again
"NO!!" Jasper screamed when the box of Dynamite was launched out of the boat and faledd suncking into the lake, we had only one dynamite left, the monster appeared at the distance igoing fast,in direction to us once more
"Now Wath?" Karil asked, after some seconds of silence, Alphonse told
"I have an idea!" He grabed the dynamite left and an arpoon and started to tied them uo with a rope that was in the boat
"I don't know what are you doing but you better get hurry!" Jasper told to him
"Redy!" Alphonse sayed at the time he got up with the Dynamite added to the arpoon
"Launch it! Quick!" I told him
"No, we only have one try, it must be closer" He answered me looking at the creature that was aproaching, then he turned on the dynamite and launched the arpoon, it got inside the monster's mouth
"BAAMM!" Was all that we heared, we covered our faces, I felt the blood of the monster falling upon us, when we rise our head, we saw the horrible creature making his last brath before got suncked with all the smoke and blood coming out from his mouth, finally, it disapeared below the gray waters of that infernal lake
This time, we saw it close, but Alphonse was our hero
Spoiler for El Lago (ASPECT):
They have had a ton of close calls. Alphonse is my favorite character! Go Alphonse! Oh yeah, I can fix all your grammar and spelling before you post each chapter if you want.

The coolest or the scariest? For coolness I would say B The Centurion. For scariness it would be C Ella

I came across this thread (and the previous one) some time ago, and found both to be entertaining reads. Recently a friend and I had something of an agreement when it comes to writing fic, and I thought, well, why not post it up here.
(though admittedly, this is also a means to make that friend actually post on this topic...*prods ikka*)
Anyhow. Fic.
Spoiler for AU fic: The Castle and Back:
"Is anyone there...ah, ma'am?"
A tall figure had just leaned into the tent marked with little else than a sign outside which said "Vehicle Repair and Maintenance". Removing the shades that had been shielding her from the blistering desert sun, a pair of dark red eyes was revealed.
Inside was the storekeeper that she'd just called "ma'am". Truth be told, it was a form of address that was perhaps more than unsuitable for a young woman/girl that looked barely beyond her teens, and the fact seemed to not be lost on the subject of that title, who quickly waved one hand dismissively as if to say "Don't call me that".
"My, this is rare." Smiling widely at her visitor, the proprietor stood up, side ponytail swishing with the action. "There usually aren't many people who come along during this time of the year...too sunny, some say, too easy to get lost, the others tell me."
Looking slightly taken aback at the brunette's friendliness, the red-eyed girl blinked before asking, "Is that so?"
"Yeah. You pretty much caught me by surprise. Well now, how can I help you?"
"Ah, right..." Gesturing towards the rather beat-up utility bike she'd dragged in, the customer said, "I got this from someone who didn't need it anymore, but it looks like some of the parts have to be replaced. The tank needs refilling too."
"OK. Mind if I take a look at it?"
In reply, the taller girl stepped aside - somewhat difficult within the limited space obscured with various things - to grant access. "Please do."
The next fifteen minutes or so passed with idle conversation, mostly centered on the bike or nothing in particular, as the storekeeper went about prodding at poking. At some point, names were exchanged, though it was more a matter of coincidence rather than deliberation.
All of a sudden, the tranquility was broken as a animalistic roar sounded from outside. It drew ever closer, before the entrance to the tent was thrown open and a snarling wolf-like beast bounded in, orange-red fur on end. "Found ya," the canine growled through a muzzle full of fangs.
"It can talk?!" Inopportune as it was, the one line echoed the only thought Nanoha had at that moment.
Glaring at her, the wolf-thing looked, if it was possible, even more disgruntled. Without bothering to reply, it shifted focus back to where it was originally on. "You know what I'm here for, Alicia!"
"...to kill me? I'd like to see you try."
Yes, Alicia. I tried to refrain from names until the very end, but attempted to drop obvious hints as to identity. Did it look too forced, though?
Update coming once I finish fixing whatever there is to be fixed.
Wow you had me fooled. That was good. You could have done without the name and I wouldn't notice, but it was a nice plot twist because I thought it was Fate. Welcome Panther!
Location: In the Netherrealm, thinking who to betray next...

Wow, yea it's still sort of not clear what's going on, but it has a lot of potential. Alicia doesn't seem to get used a lot in fics, so this is definitely going to get interesting. Never would have guessed it's her. I'm looking forward to more.

~~Like before, don't sweat the details that midchilda isn't Earth :P ~~
Vivio looked around excitedly as they came to the end of the animal exhibit. On top of Nanoha's shoulders, she smiled brightly as she got to reach up and lightly stroke a tall animal that towered them. "Did you feel it?" Nanoha asked happily.
"Un!" Vivio grabbed Nanoha's pigtails again. "Let's go that way!"
"Ow! Vivio, darling, Mama's hair! Fate-chan, get her for me?"
Fate laughed, reaching up to lift the small child. "C'mere Honey." Setting the girl on the ground, she took her hand. "Where did you want to go?"
Nanoha adjusted her hair, ending up having to take them down and just let it flow out behind her. "The small town?"
"Un!" Vivio started dragging Fate along to the miniature village section of the park. The buildings were all small, being just the right size for Vivio to enter and walk around a little. Random people dressed cartoon character suits sat in chairs waving to all the little people. "Mama, Mama! Can I go in?"
"Sure," Fate watched her child let go of her hand and run excitedly a few feet over to one of the open doors and look around. "She's really excited," The blond spoke lightly while keeping an eye on her.
"Mmn, She will be exhausted before lunch time."
"We can hope." Fate put her arm around Nanoha when she got close enough. "I think we're going to be exhausted as well at this rate. But as long as she's- Vivio!" Both parents darted forward to follow the girl as she went from one tiny house to another. "I swear, she's as bad as you!"
"Me!?" Nanoha stopped in front of the small building and watched Vivio run though it and play with the other kids. "I don't just vanish like...." She glanced at Fate, who was looking at her in a knowing maner. "Okay, maybe I do run off without saying anything..."
"Yup." Both parents followed Vivio again as she waved to them and pointed this time for permission. With a nod, they walked behind her, jogging every now and then, to keep up with her. "Maybe we should get one of those harness things..."
"I am not putting Vivio on a leash." Nanoha protested. "Though if you wanted one for later..." She wagged her eyebrows.
"Only if you consent to the ball gag?" Fate smirked back, getting a hot blush when the flirt was called. "Oh wow, I haven't said anything naughty in a long time!"
"Yeah when I bought that strap-"
"mama!"
"YES!?" Both quickly dropped the conversation and looked down at Vivio, who now had a balloon.
"Drink?" She inquired innocently.
"Here you are," Nanoha knelt down to let Vivio slurp what was left of the slushie. "Did you have fun?"
"Un!"
Fate looked at a map of the park. "We just barely made it past the intro stage of the park... I think there is an Egypt themed section ahead... If we go now we can go on a 'tour' of an old pyramid."
Nanoha grinned. "Too bad Yuuno isn't with us, he'd love that. What do you say, Vivio? Want to explore a pyramid!?" She made her voice sound really excited.
"Un! Un!" Vivio hopped in place. "I want to!"
"Come on!" Nanoha took one hand and allowed Fate to take the other. "Let's hurry!" Together they lifted up, taking Vivio's feet off the ground to allow her to laugh happily while they carried her the first few steps.
Viviowaff combined with B!C (Bunny couple) makes things even more tastier
Spoiler for 174:
”It worked!” The supposedly dead dragon opened his eyes.
”Shackles of Time...” Linque staggered and his hands holding the green whiplike swords trembled slightly.
”It really was true immortality!” Ehcil lifted his body up from the bottom and bellowed towards the sky in joy. ”But complete restoration? I never even had the shackles in my full strenght before.” He glanced at the sleeping monk. ”What a pity. He isn't here to feel your despair.”
The holes in Ehcil's skin were fixed and it shone along with his gigantic wings like leather. A line of razorlike scales ran from his head to tail. Even that he stood on four, his front limbs were much smaller compared to his muscular legs. Small, compared to his body, horns poked from his head, following the jagged back scales. His stomach was striped by something similar to muscles but was just as hard as the black crust that covered the rest of his body.
[All channeling stopped. System failure.] A female mechanical announced inside Ehcil's body.
”Stopped!?” Ehcil denied staring at his belly. ”What is this!?” He turned towards Same, curling up on the grass for more comfortable position to sleep in. ”It was you again!”
”Actually, it was me.” Aren answered confidently from the dragon's right side. His barrier jacket had been dispelled because of the long dark red scales he was covered in. His left hand was turned into tree trunk like cannon and his right had massive claws growing out from it. ”Heartbreaker: shatters every magical restriction around me, including pacts, bonds, magical controlling and mind interfearing.” Dozen lava yellow scales travelled in his dark scales and his left hand's barrel dropped something resembling fire. His moth like wings seemed to be reinforced with the same scales he had all over his body.
”How does a human dare to steal my immortality again?!” Ehcil shook in anger at the sight of the burning tree man. ”But that doesn't matter. I care only for the death of all you and you can't match even my mortal self.” He stomped every bird in the island to flight.
”Forwards, leave this to us.” Nanoha ordered via the communicator.
”Why?!” Subaru protested but found Teana again on her way.
”We didn't even manage to harm his exposed flesh. We're just on the way.” Teana explained and started to walk out from the scene. ”We'll take him with us.” She pointed at the sleeping man.
”But Tia!” Subaru continued.
”We have to know our place.” Teana answered with her back against Subaru and lifted the monk to her shoulder.
”... You're the boss.” Subaru accepted relucantly and helped Teana to carry the man away. ”Come Erio, Caro.” She glanced at the child pair, watching the battle.
”I was only on the way...” Small tears ran on Caro's cheeks.
”Don't worry. I wasn't that much use either.” Erio pat his hand on the girl's back carefully. ”Let's go.” He pleaded with his words and the five walked sluggishly out from the crater.
~--
”How does despair feel?” Ehcil glared at the tired warriors around him.
”We'll know once we have some.” Nanoha loaded cartridges and activated her excelion mode. ”If somebody wasn't already giving their best, now is the time.” She ordered through the headpiece.
”You give me the chills Nanoha-san.” Miachell complimented in her human form. ”Any plans?”
”Aim for the neck with as concentrated damage as possible.” Fate suggested.
”I think it needs either physical or magical to break his skin but it has to be physical to kill him.” Linque deduced, riding on the golem.
”Signum you propably have the most consentrated physical attack.” Fate glanced at the pink warrior high in the sky. ”Unless we count Vita's Zerstörungform, but I'd prefer not using that.” She added.
”I don't like bragging but that seems to be the case at the moment.” She answered, looking at the bow she rarely used.
”I agree with Fate here.” Vita replied.
”You know people. Even if the drag isn't doing anything. My armor keeps draining me. Could we start the plan?” Aren expounded in his scaled armor.
”Alright. Signum take a good aim and shoot once we're finished. You guys keep him still as I and Fate will blast that neck armor to bits.” Nanoha desceneded on the ground and aimed her staff.
”Genol, protect Fate and Nanoha until they are ready to shoot.” Linque hopped down from the golem and ran towards the confident dragon. -Spiccato- He transferred the power of his green blades in the dragon's scales.
”That was sad.” Ehcil eyed pitifully the white haired man. ”I got striped.” He inspected the green streams, running in his body.
”Bear shot!” Vita announced half amused.
-Combustion Release Mark 7- Aren shot at the Gigantformed Graf Eisen held above him and Vita swung her hammer, launching Miachell crouching on top of it at ludicrous speed.
-Avian Aspect: Aerodynamic Dive- Miachell turned fully into bear and dived through Ehcil's both wings, crashing dangerously onto the stones.
”...” A silence of disbelief.
”That was so stupid...” Vita sighed and lifted her hammer on her shoulder.
”Don't do something like that.” Nanoha snickered. ”It's hard to concentrate.” She reasoned and continued loading the shot. Both she and Fate delayed the casting on purpose to allow the rest to gather Ehcil's interest.
”Now, why didn't we aim for the neck with that?” Aren scratched his chin with one of his long claws.
”My wings...” Ehcil spread his majestic wings, that now had bear sized holes in them. ”My beautiful wings... Destroyed again?” He stuttered in denial.
”He looks pissed.” Aren declared, panting heavily. ”Damn it. I'm fully drained.” His armor disappeared and he activated his barrier jacket to cover his naked body.
”I got too confident.” Ehcil commented angrily and turned his long neck, counting his enemies. ”But they will heal.” He managed to sigh before three blue rays hit him from behind and blanked him out briefly.
-Syncronised Orchestra- Linque sang and released the green streams without much effect. Simotaneously, the giant golem rushed in and grabbed Ehcil's jaw, slamming it on the ground followed by a strong landslide that buried both Lanlai and Ehcil's head in the stone. ”Shoot!” He ordered after glanching at the two women.
”But Lanlai-” Fate reasoned.
”She will be fine! Shoot damnit!” Linque continued desperately.
”They know themselves best.” Nanoha comforted her friend and steadied her staff. -Starlight Breaker plus-
-Trident Smasher- The four beams twisted in mid air and hit the dragon's flailing throat.
-Sturm Phoenix- A blazing arrow flew into the dust cloud created by the combined attacks and a bone shattering roar rose from the rubble.

By how easily they get distracted, I still think Nanoha and Fate will eventually lose Vivio through the park. At least she's having fun!

Finally looked at them again! Therefore I vote for b) The Centurion, because he looked cool and lasted for quite a bit.
Upon writing a little more on this, I have come to the conclusion that I should stop writing this fic. Why? Because it was originally intended to be a small side-story dedication to Junkedcat's fic but ended up taking life of it's own. Instead of doing a more of a "inside look on Nanoha" I ended up re-wording his story, and that isn't right.
So, as of now, Richgirl!Nanoha has been removed from FF.N and will no longer be updated past what I am about to post (that was written before I decided this and has JC's approval)
Junkedcat has told me that he would be happy if I continued doing shorts on his story, even if I didn't want to do RG!N anymore. So, from this post onward, any "Richgirl!Nanoha" updates will be nothing more than a small little short in his time line, just like other people write shorts on fellow author's here. Also, it will be AS exclusive.
Before this starts any kind of debate or something, I'll state this: My decision is final, and it has already been removed. Also, JC (Isn't it so much easier to say JC than Junkedcat?) had nothing to do with me deciding to quit. He actually was offering me help and was proofing the story for me and giving ideas. So don't think we had some type of argument or anything
Anyway, I'm gonna post the chapter here and then what little I had of the next chapter before I stopped will be converted into a "short" to further promote Landscaper!Fate.
Spoiler for Richgirl!Nanoha VI:
I sighed out as I laid face down on the massaging table. I had one person doing my nails while another was massaging my back. A third person was rubbing my feet and would eventually give me a pedicure when this treatment was finished. Although, my weekly spa trip normally relaxed me to no end, I couldn't help but feel down today. It has been a few days already since my...incident... with Fate, and I was still upset over it. I wanted to talk to her, to try and get some explanation as to why she did that, but I had no idea how to contact her. I also wanted to know how she saw me. Was I a friend, an annoyance, or a toy? She paid attention to me, but what did she want?
Richgirl!Nanoha VI
By: Satashi
It was Thursday before they came back to my yard, almost two weeks since I last saw them. I ran many scenarios over in my mind since then, but each one left me more confused. Fate was hitting on me all this time and I didn't notice. She was gay, or at the very least openly bi-sexual. This didn't bother me, as I fully understood wanting to do your own thing, but at the same time it confused me. I have never been hit on by anyone, let alone a girl. I didn't know how to take it and it boggled my mind to think that Fate, of all people, wanted me... like that.
Her eyes met mine and I gripped the curtains nervously. Her face went through several different emotions before she started walking again. The weather outside was dull and gray, clouds hanging thick with the promise of rain. I guess they couldn't do their work when the yard was muddy, so they were trying to squeeze in whatever they could before it started to pour. If that was the case, then I wouldn't see them again for another long while after this... Which meant I didn't have a choice of waiting.
I moved to my vanity and started putting on my makeup. I went light today, just enough to appease my mother. She always liked me to look my best, and it became a habit over the years to always touch myself up when going out. Slowly, I walked downstairs and watched the group work from the kitchen for a long while. After checking to see if we had any, I started a fresh pitcher of lemonade and even remembered to cut out a little of the sugar this time. I tested it and puckered my lips. I didn't like it at all, but I was hoping Fate would.
I waited outside on the patio, watching the crew of three work on my yard for what must have been half an hour. Finally, a few drops of rain started to fall, making the man in charge curse rather loudly. He called for a round up of what they were currently doing so they could get ready to call it a day. Fate, thankfully, seemed to be done. Her eyes glanced over at me and I held up the glass of lemonade in a questioning manner. I could tell she was reluctant to come to me but I stood up anyway, walking to the end of the patio and holding it out with both hands.
By the time she reached me, I was already debating running back inside. I just might have if not for the fact that her hand took the glass from me. She offered a small “Thanks,” and sipped on it instead of drinking it all like last time.
“Too sweet?” I asked, trying to gather my courage and push back the images I had of her above me.
“Huh?” She looked at me oddly a moment. “Oh. Oh, no, yes, I mean...” She looked to the side. “A little...”
“I will try better next time.” My words made her look back up at me. “...Fate?”
“...Yes?”
“Why did you...do that?” Her eyes looked away from mine. “Please... please look at me.” Slowly red eyes came to meet mine. I was scared but at the same time I had motivation. I haven't left my house once since that night, and I missed the freedom. In order to get that back, I needed my courage again. Fate, the girl who started all of this, was the only one right now who could give me that. If I was a toy to her, then I would stop trying. I would just live my life the way others wanted me to. If it was different, if she really did see me as a person, then that alone was enough to give me faith to keep trying.
“I...” She swallowed and I could tell she was thinking of several things to say at this moment. Finally, she met my eyes and told me the blunt truth. “I wanted you.”
She wanted me. “Why?” I asked again.
“I just...did.” She tried to move her eyes from me, but for the first time in my life, I stepped to the side to make sure she couldn't. The motion made her looked rather shocked, and I rubbed my hands together nervously out of habit. “...That didn't give me any right to do what I did,” she admitted to me. “I shouldn't have done that. Really. I'm sorry.”
“Please... don't do something like that so suddenly anymore okay?”
“I promise I won't.” She looked a little hopeful now. “Can you forgive me?”
“Yes,” I answered quickly, blushing when she realized how eager I was to hear those words. “Um... Yes.” I tried again.
“Why would you want to talk to me again after that?” Her curiosity must have come up when I seemed so ready to forgive her.
“Because... you paid attention to me.” I brushed some hair behind my ear. “The first...to ever pay attention to me.”
“...Do you still want me to walk with you?”
“Yes.”
She grinned. “Can I still hit on you?”
I looked away. “I can't tell you not to...”
Fate moved to stand in front of me this time. “Can I work slowly on you?”
“Slowly?” I caught the teasing tone in her voice and I felt my lips turn up ever so slightly. She was her old self again, back to the girl who first drew my interest.
“Yeah,” She agreed. “I really do want you. Maybe I can work on you enough to do it with me willingly?”
I laughed softly, feeling that the joke was only half serious. “Maybe,” I evaded her from both my own shyness at the question as well as not really knowing what else to say. “I don't know how to react to this.”
“Surely you've been hit on before?” I shook my head. “No shit, really?” I was taken aback from her language but she went on before I could say anything. “You really are sexy you know.”
“Wha-?” I took a step back, losing my control over the conversation and feeling that familiar emotion once again rise up in my chest.
Fate took a step forward and leaned her arm up on the patio railing next to me. “I won't lie, you're smoking hot and I have it bad for you.”
“Is that...” I blushed hard, a little intimidated. “Is that why you say such strange things?”
“Yes.” She softened and her red eyes looked really caring for a moment. “Really, Princess, I'm sorry for what I did. I can joke all I want, but what it comes down to is me doing something I shouldn't have. Yes, I think you are sexy but it gave me no right to jump you like that. I promise it will never happen again.”
I believed her. Fate's eyes were a window to her thoughts, and I found myself able to read her mood quite easily. “Fate? May I ask something?”
“Yes?”
Before she started getting playful again, before she started hitting on me, I had to know. “How do you see me? ”
She smirked and I lost my lock on her eyes. “As a hot little girl I wouldn't mind taking my time on.” She touched my cheek with her fingertips. “You are nice to be around; like a friend or something.”
“A friend?” I repeated, eyes wide.
“Yeah,” she was fully teasing again. “Granted, I still get hot and wet just looking at you, but a friend indeed.” I blushed hard, both excited and embarrassed so badly I couldn't even speak anymore. “Tell me,” she leaned forward. “Will you give me a chance?”
I swallowed thickly, wanting to both say something and to run and hide. “Fate...” I managed out, getting a grin.
“FATE!” the male's leader's voice rang out over the yard. “Come on! It's going to rain!”
“Che,” Fate scoffed and I realized that a faint sprinkle had started coming down in the time we had been talking. “867-5309 .”
“Huh?”
“My phone number.”
I blushed. “O-okay...”
“Call me.”
“S-sure..” I felt my throat tighten.
“Slow, huh?” Fate looked at me. “May I?” She took my hand and I meekly nodded at her. To my surprise, she dipped down and kissed it. I felt my heart jump into my throat and I could only look at her with wide eyes as she winked and walked around the corner and back into the yard. “I'm coming!” She yelled out rudely. “Keep your pants on!”
“How about you keep yours on and get your ass in my truck!” The man yelled back.
I leaned back against the patio and fanned myself, breathing a little hard from my nervousness. That had most definitely turned out different than I thought it would.
I lay on my stomach, staring out the window into the pouring rain. My bed was soft, and the covers warm but I still couldn't sleep. I wanted to go out tonight, but I knew there was no way I could. As I rolled over onto my back, my eyes looked at the pink phone laying on my nightstand. I could call her, but then again it might just be a bother. True she stayed out late and all but...She did tell me too. Was it okay to call on the first day I got her number? She said specifically 'call me' so surely it was?
Moving over, I picked up my phone and looked at the contact list filled with names of people I never even spoke to. Fate's number wasn't stored but I had it memorized. I felt as if it almost rude to add her to my contact list, as it was filled with people I never wanted to talk to, but needed to know the numbers of. I flipped through it as I debated dialing. The maid service, my mom's cell phone, my house phone, my father's cell phone, father's work number, father's second work number, and finally a string of names of the people I went out on a date with. I put their names in so I would be sure not to answer when it rang. Now that I think about it, not answering my cell phone was the first thing I ever did that might be considered 'wrong'.
Slowly, I punched in Fate's number and stared at the screen. Four rings. I would let it ring four times... If she didn't' answer then I would hang up. Forcing myself to press send the button, I held it to my ear nervously. My breath was held as the phone rang out the simple tone in my ear. A second ring came, followed by a third. When the fourth was about to start I heard a click and finally a voice. "Yeah?" I tried to greet her back but I was still nervous. "Hellooooooooo?"
"Fa-Fate," I squeaked out. "It's... Um, I'm-"
"Princess," she answered for me in an amused tone. "Wow, calling the first night, I'm impressed."
"Am I... bothering you?" I sat on my bed and covered my legs with the sheets.
"I was just thinking about you," she cooed into my ear.
"R-really!?" I brought my hand to my chin, taking the covers with it. "Um... what... about...?"
Fate chuckled. "All kinds of things."
She also thought about me when I wasn't there? I felt so...flattered! "...Like what?" I tried again
"Different things," she avoided me again in a teasing tone.
"Mou, tell me." I insisted. "Please?"
"Pretty please?"
"Pretty please?" I repeated her words hopefully.
"Nope." I almost sighed into the phone. "What are you up to? Staying up late?" The topic turned to me now.
I lay back on my bed, too fidgety to stay still for too long. "Normally, I go to my room around ten but I don't actually sleep until later. This is the only time I have privacy so I enjoy it."
"You enjoy yourself?"
I caught the teasing tone and, having heard the phrase before, I knew immediately what she meant. "Fate... I don't..."
"Sure you do," she insisted.
"No... Really... I..." I stammered for words. Was she going to tease me again?
"Hey, Princess, tell me something?"
"Yes?"
"Tell me about your day."
My day? She was really interested in my day? I held my phone with both hands, feeling excited to have someone honestly ask me that question. "My, my day was great! " I heard a small chuckle and a request for details. "Well," I was sitting up again, smiling in my dark room illuminated only by my night light. "I, I woke up a little early today and ate breakfast, then I lounged around my room a little while and I looked out my window while reading, I love to read, and I saw you come so I went downstairs to make some lemonade, I hope it wasn't too sweet for you, I'll make it better next time, and I waited for you to be done so I could talk to you, you didn't get in trouble for talking did you, and I-"
"Whoa!" she laughed into the phone. "Princess, you have said more in the past single sentence than you have since we've met! Let me get a word in if you ask a question."
"OH! Oh, I'm... I'm sorry..."
"Don't be," Her voice was amused. "But what set you off like that?"
I felt embarrassed now. "No reason really. Just….A good day."
"A good day huh? How about I give you a nice rubdown to make it even better ?"
"I had a massage this week already," I politely declined her, going with the flow of topic change to better calm myself down.
"Come on, I have magic fingers."
"Really?" I was amused by her choice of words.
"Yeah," She got husky on me again and I recognized it as her 'flirty' tone. "Girls say they feel electricity from them."
"Oh really?" I actually giggled at her. I was embarrassed from the tone she was giving me but at the same time I was interested in hearing more. What was it like to be gay? To like other girls? Why did she want to hit on me so badly? Why did she like me? So many questions I wanted answers to. "Hey, Fate?"
"Yes, Princess?"
"Why do you flirt with me?"
"How dense can you be?" She sounded a little exasperated. "I told you; I want you. In my bed. Screaming my name."
I blushed darkly. "Fa-Fate..."
"You asked."
So I did...At least she was honest with me. "That's... a little scary."
"I told you I will work slow. Until you're ready."
"You sound sure of yourself."
"I am." She sighed out contently and I heard her shift around on her bed. "But I won't force you into anything you don't want. All you have to do is say 'stop' and I will. You have my word."
I had to force myself to ask the next part. "So...You are going to keep... flirting and hitting on me?"
"Unless you stay stop, yes. Yes I am." I didn't know what to say. I really had no idea how to respond to that. "So," Her voice was laced with excitement. "You aren't saying stop."
"I-I don't want you to stop! No, no. I mean-" She was laughing so hard I felt my cheeks warm up noticeably. "I meant that I don't want you to stop paying attention to me! No, that sounds so self-centered, I..." I was so confused on what to say right now I just went silent and allowed her to keep laughing.
"Princess, you're too much. I will enjoy this."
"...Really?"
"You got it."
"So all these things you say to me... they have double meanings don't they?" I wanted to get the topic off me before she could continue embarrassing me.
"Maybe," She teased me. "Are you okay saying these things? Your room isn't tapped is it?"
"Tapped? you mean so people can listen? No, no my room is soundproofed, just like the rest of our house. Daddy is very strict when it comes to certain things. Being disturbed during work is something that really sets him off, so we have a rule in our house: If the door is closed, do not disturb ."
"So...you could scream at the top of your lungs and no one would hear you?"
"M...maybe..." Was this a double meaning?
"I'll have to test that... Can you do me a favor?"
"Yes?" I would do anything for my friends!
"Scream my name? Preferably in a syrupy sweet tone."
"Wha, what!?"
"Come on, please?"
"Bu...but..." I looked around, despite knowing no one would hear or see me. "Why?"
"Come on, just do it?"
"But..."
Fate grinned. "Come oooooon."
I swallowed. "Fa... Faaaate."
"Oh that was weak. Scream it out?"
I swallowed. "Faaaaate!" It still barely came out more than a whisper.
"Come on Princes, scream for me!"
I held a hand to my chest and almost did scream it this time "Faaaaaaaaaaaate!"
"Oh wow that was hot!" Fate seemed very pleased. "I can't wait to hear that while you are under me."
Oh my god, she wanted a scream like that!? I hid my face in my pillows. "Fate, don't make me do things like that!"
"You didn't say stop," she reminded me.
"But... but..."
"Princess?" I stopped stammering. "Thanks."
I blushed. "...You're welcome." I did manage to make her happy, even if it was just a perverted little fantasy of hers. After everything that happened I'm sure she felt really bad as well... the way she looked this afternoon while working and the way she apologized repeatedly confirmed it. She deserved a little something. Besides, I had a safety word now. I felt like I could trust that word, even if I couldn't quite trust Fate's actions right now. I would place my bets on that. "If you need something," I spoke after a while of silence. "...Just ask, okay?"
"Hey, same to you." She yawned lightly.
"You're tired," I stated the obvious. "I'll let you go. Did I call too late?"
"No," She seemed happy right now. "Call me again, okay?"
"Um, when should I call?"
"As long as I’m home, anytime. What about you? Can I call?"
"I'd rather not," I apologized. "I'm actually... sneaking these calls. If anyone found out they would ask questions..."
"Ah, and I'm just hired help hitting on their daughter."
"N-no! you're not-!"
"I know," Fate didn't seem offended. "Over protective Daddy doesn't want his daughter getting muff dived on."
"...Muff dived?"
A snicker. "Me licking your pussy."
“I don't have a cat,” I blinked, hearing soft chuckles in the background. “...That meant something really dirty, didn't it?” I thought hard, wracking my mind for what little slang I knew for perverted action and blushed hard when I came up with something I was fairly sure was right. “So," I coughed. "Um... I'll call you okay?" Please, Fate, don't press that topic...
"Don't worry about your bill?" A topic change.
"I have roll-over minutes, no one will ever notice that I'm actually using them."
"In that case call me tomorrow too."
"I can? Really?"
"Hey, I told you I'm going to work on you... makes it faster for me."
I was almost used to this by now. "Okay, I'll call you sometime after nine."
"Promise?" I knew something was coming after this but I had to bite.
"I promise."
"Good, it's a date then. G'night!" She hung up before I could say anything.
Upon writing a little more on this, I have come to the conclusion that I should stop writing this fic. Why? Because it was originally intended to be a small side-story dedication to Junkedcat's fic but ended up taking life of it's own. Instead of doing a more of a "inside look on Nanoha" I ended up re-wording his story, and that isn't right.
So, as of now, Richgirl!Nanoha has been removed from FF.N and will no longer be updated past what I am about to post (that was written before I decided this and has JC's approval)
Junkedcat has told me that he would be happy if I continued doing shorts on his story, even if I didn't want to do RG!N anymore. So, from this post onward, any "Richgirl!Nanoha" updates will be nothing more than a small little short in his time line, just like other people write shorts on fellow author's here. Also, it will be AS exclusive.
Before this starts any kind of debate or something, I'll state this: My decision is final, and it has already been removed. Also, JC (Isn't it so much easier to say JC than Junkedcat?) had nothing to do with me deciding to quit. He actually was offering me help and was proofing the story for me and giving ideas. So don't think we had some type of argument or anything
Anyway, I'm gonna post the chapter here and then what little I had of the next chapter before I stopped will be converted into a "short" to further promote Landscaper!Fate.
Spoiler for Richgirl!Nanoha VI:
-cut-
It's sad to hear that the fic will be discontinued, but it's your decision that must ultimately be respected. It was fun while it lasted and it was nice to see Nanoha starting to grow during this chapter.

Well, I have to say that I'll be disspointed you won't be continuing RG!Nanoha, but if you feel you were only rewording JC's fic, then there's no point in arguing, especailly when your decision is final.
I loved the chapter though ^^
Cute, sweet, a little embarassing
I'll be happy to read your shorts too.
Oh, and I'll be looking forward to new chapters from JunkedCat ^^
I finally finished chapter two of Medieval!Nanoha. It's mostly talk and explanations, but I'm hopefully trying to get some action started in chapter three.
Spoiler for [Medieval!Nanoha] Chapter 2:
2. Second Scroll – Search
“Bring them to me! Do not come back without them!” Those words… those harsh and commanding words… she could still hear them clearly in her mind, whenever she closed her eyes. They kept coming back, at a point of almost obsession and she would stop at nothing to fulfill her order. Nothing.
Those were the thoughts of Fate Testarossa as she held her scythe at the man’s throat.
“I will only ask once more. Where did he go?” the girl repeated the question. The man was shivering under her grip, trying to find a way to escape or blend even more with the tree he was currently pinned to. Warm beads of sweat were falling down his face out of nervousness. Although the girls’ tone wasn’t harsh, it had a sort of commanding feel and the look in her burgundy eyes told him that she would cut his head off without second thoughts if he couldn’t satisfy her with his answer.
“I-I… th-ey… the boy went east!” he tried saying. She girl sighed and lowered the scythe from his chin. “Let’s go, Arf.” She motioned towards the older woman behind her. The man, thinking he had escaped tried to run away, but was caught by the woman and knocked down unconscious.
“That wasn’t very helpful, nee Fate?”
The girl shook her head. They continued on leaving the unconscious man behind. They hadn’t found out anything else relevant to their cause, but still, Fate disliked having to kill without reason. The woman, Arf, was a former failed thief whom Fate had found wounded when she was little. Little Fate had taken care of her and now the two were inseparable. Arf had found a home and a purpose in life, while Fate had found a friend and a faithful companion. They were currently searching for one scholar named Yuuno Scrya, who was supposedly to be heading towards the Capital. Thus far, their search hadn’t had many results, but people proved to very talkative under the pressure of a scythe.
“We’ll continue our search in the morning.” Fate beckoned to her companion. It was already getting dark and they had spend most of they day monotonously walking. The two stopped and made their makeshift camp and ate some of their provisions before preparing to go to sleep.
“Sleep well, Fate.” Arf said, but the girl already had her back turned and didn’t reply.
---
It took Yuuno a very long time to get his friend out of shock and even a longer time to get her on her feet and moving. The events had affected Nanoha greatly and she refused to believe anything like that had ever happened. She had always believed she would live her peaceful life with her parents and learn to take care of the bakery. Then one day she would find a husband, probably from the village or around it, marry, have some children and die of old age. She dreamed of going in the world and seeing and doing things that no other person had ever done before, but reality had always been cruel and kept her with her feet on the ground.
Now, here she was, having just blasted a human being and now running away from the very village that she had known her whole life. It was surreal.
“What… happened?” Nanoha broke the silence that had been dominating them for the past few hours. The first rays of sun had started appearing on the sky and the two had finally stopped to rest from their continuous walk.
“Raiders attacked your village.” Yuuno replied as he went and put his back against a tree. There was a long and inevitable talk incoming. The silence that came from Nanoha told him he should continue. “I think they were after this!” the boy reached to his bag and showed it to Nanoha.
“An empty bag?” the container looked old and worn, barely worth even one loaf bread. Why would anyone want that?
Yuuno sighted loudly. “I guess there’s no reason to keep it from you now. You’re very much in this as well now.”
“My name is Yuuno and I belong to the clan of Scrya. I am an apprentice at a local monastery from the countryside. I was tasked with transporting an important set of artifacts named Jewel Seeds, recently found during an expedition. On route to the capital and very close to you village I was attacked by local bandits who probably mistook them for precious stones and stole them. Then I was found by you and you sort of know the story from there on.”
“Those raiders who attacked your village must have been hired to get these artifacts. They’ve been following me for the last weeks, but up until now I’ve always managed to loose their trail…”
Nanoha nodded slowly. Yuuno’s story sort of made sense, yet she still had a hard time understanding the whole thing. There was one problem that was still heavy on her mind. “What about that longbow?”
Yuuno sighed once again. He was sighing quite often in a very short period of time and it helped increase Nanoha’s worry that things were far worse than what she could grasp.
“Nanoha… you possess magical powers. It’s a special condition that happens when a human body develops an additional component called Linker Core. It cannot be seen and it’s nigh impossible to realize one has it unless it manifest itself in some way. In your case, you became attuned with a focus and allowed the power of the Linker Core to flow freely. Attunement is usually done by having the blood of the subject connect with the focus. It’s an irreversible process.”
Nanoha nodded once again. There was no need for words at that point. In just a few hours she had been in a state of shock and confusion far too many times. Her mind was probably numb from it all and she took the situation in quite calmly. Looking at her hands she saw the scratch marks that she had received when she had fallen during the initial attack. They were covered in already coagulated blood from the minor cuts that had already begun to heal. So that’s where the blood had come from. And when she had touched the bow… disturbingly it made sense.
The sun had already fully claimed its spot on the skies. They had been talking for at long time. The forest was quiet though. Nobody had followed them. Nanoha wondered what had happened to her parents. Were they alright? Could she go back? The answer was probably no. Although she had never seen it, she had heard tales of what the church did to these so called witches and wizards. Yet, in every story, the witches were portrayed as evil and gruesome beings that brought suffering into the world. Yuuno, as herself, were now supposedly one of these beings. Yet she didn’t feel evil. And Yuuno had struck her as a very king and gentle person as well. She began to wonder just what was true in what she had been told up till now. The answer came in the form of Yuuno handing her out the bow.
“Here, it’s your now. I have no further use of it.” He told her. Seeing the puzzled look on her face he continued. “You are its master and the rightful person to wield it. Once attuned, only the bow’s master can use it properly. Go ahead, take it. You can give it a proper name if you want.”
Nanoha took the bow in her hand. It felt light and heart warming, as if most of her previous insecurities had passed. “Raising Heart.” She muttered. As if in acknowledgement, Nanoha though she saw the red jewel on the bow lighten up, but disregarded it as a show of light.
“I’m sorry for dragging you into this, Nanoha. It was never meant to happen.” Yuuno said lowering his head to stare at the ground and looking genuinely sad.
Her family was alright, Nanoha ultimately decided. It was impossible for them not to be. They had always told her that whatever she chose to do in the future, she would have their support. There was no turning back and only going forward now.
“It’s okay!” Nanoha said managing to put a smile on her face. “So, what are you going to do from now on?”
“I need to go and retrieve the Jewel Seeds, but first – “
“I’m coming with you!” Nanoha cut him off swiftly. Yuuno looked into her and saw a glitter of determination he hadn’t seen before in the girl. She was definite that she wanted to come with him, no matter what. It sort of made him happy.
“You’ll need to learn to control your power though. You may have been lucky up till now and a few times in the future but one day that luck will end. You see, magic is naturally attracted to heat, therefore if you shoot the projectile will go towards the nearest heat source. That way, even if the arrow misses, you will still probably hit what you want to hit if it’s a human, but without control there are numerous ways it can backfire, since there is no telling towards what heat source it will go first. It’s tricky. I don’t want you to accidentally shoot me, or worse, yourself!” Yuuno said the last part almost laughingly.
Nanoha listened carefully to his explanation. The whole atmosphere between them had lightened up and it seemed even Yuuno had taken away part of the seriousness in his voice. The two had been on the same wave line during the whole discussion, to a point that they began understanding each others reasoning without the need of an explanation. Nanoha knew she could count on Yuuno.
Everything that needed telling having already been told, the two decided to set off on their newfound quest, following whichever road appeared before them.

+ Yes, the way magic is used in the Nanoha universe just went down the drain and replaced. Any problems?

Stepping up to the platform, one hand reached to touch the pole as the other one trailed the hem of her shirt. Long blond hair fell over her shoulder as she slowly waved her hips to the music. As she stepped forward her hand moved up her stomach, moving the shirt up along with it. Tailing over her tummy, the the girl winked her ruby red eye before pulling her shirt off teasingly. Nanoha stood in shock as she watched the show, eyes going wide as her special person twirled around the pole before rocking her body against it and slowly trailing the tip of her tongue along it. Grinding her body against the shaft, bluejeans were ever so slowly undone and wiggled down. Black panties were revealed as she placed her back against the support and started wiggling her hips. The brown haired girl finally snapped out of her daze and started walking over to her, blushing furiously as a bra was tossed on the floor.
“Okay,” She spoke, getting a curious look. “What in the world is this!?”
Fate didn't know what to say either. One hand held the box while the other took away the wii remotes from her daughter's hands. “Wii Strip.” She read aloud, looking amazed at her confused daughter. “What kind of games are these?”
“But, it's a video game,” Vivio's innocent voice declared. “I play it all the time, wasn't my dance good?”
The two mothers looked at each other embarrassedly. “Um, yes darling, but... this isn't the kind of dance you should be doing.”
“Why?” She tilted her head to the side. “You let me play Dance Dance Revolution all the time.”
“It's...” Fate tried, drawing a blank for words. “You're just... not allowed to pole dance better than mama, okay?”
“FATE-CHAN!” Nanoha blushed furiously. “Don't tell her that!”
Vivio blinked, looking down at the case for her 'wii strip' game. “But...It's fun...”

Spoiler for Disney World 2:
Vivio looked around excitedly as they came to the end of the animal exhibit. On top of Nanoha's shoulders, she smiled brightly as she got to reach up and lightly stroke a tall animal that towered them. "Did you feel it?" Nanoha asked happily.
"Un!" Vivio grabbed Nanoha's pigtails again. "Let's go that way!"
"Ow! Vivio, darling, Mama's hair! Fate-chan, get her for me?"
Fate laughed, reaching up to lift the small child. "C'mere Honey." Setting the girl on the ground, she took her hand. "Where did you want to go?"
Nanoha adjusted her hair, ending up having to take them down and just let it flow out behind her. "The small town?"
"Un!" Vivio started dragging Fate along to the miniature village section of the park. The buildings were all small, being just the right size for Vivio to enter and walk around a little. Random people dressed cartoon character suits sat in chairs waving to all the little people. "Mama, Mama! Can I go in?"
"Sure," Fate watched her child let go of her hand and run excitedly a few feet over to one of the open doors and look around. "She's really excited," The blond spoke lightly while keeping an eye on her.
"Mmn, She will be exhausted before lunch time."
"We can hope." Fate put her arm around Nanoha when she got close enough. "I think we're going to be exhausted as well at this rate. But as long as she's- Vivio!" Both parents darted forward to follow the girl as she went from one tiny house to another. "I swear, she's as bad as you!"
"Me!?" Nanoha stopped in front of the small building and watched Vivio run though it and play with the other kids. "I don't just vanish like...." She glanced at Fate, who was looking at her in a knowing maner. "Okay, maybe I do run off without saying anything..."
"Yup." Both parents followed Vivio again as she waved to them and pointed this time for permission. With a nod, they walked behind her, jogging every now and then, to keep up with her. "Maybe we should get one of those harness things..."
"I am not putting Vivio on a leash." Nanoha protested. "Though if you wanted one for later..." She wagged her eyebrows.
"Only if you consent to the ball gag?" Fate smirked back, getting a hot blush when the flirt was called. "Oh wow, I haven't said anything naughty in a long time!"
"Yeah when I bought that strap-"
"mama!"
"YES!?" Both quickly dropped the conversation and looked down at Vivio, who now had a balloon.
"Drink?" She inquired innocently.
"Here you are," Nanoha knelt down to let Vivio slurp what was left of the slushie. "Did you have fun?"
"Un!"
Fate looked at a map of the park. "We just barely made it past the intro stage of the park... I think there is an Egypt themed section ahead... If we go now we can go on a 'tour' of an old pyramid."
Nanoha grinned. "Too bad Yuuno isn't with us, he'd love that. What do you say, Vivio? Want to explore a pyramid!?" She made her voice sound really excited.
"Un! Un!" Vivio hopped in place. "I want to!"
"Come on!" Nanoha took one hand and allowed Fate to take the other. "Let's hurry!" Together they lifted up, taking Vivio's feet off the ground to allow her to laugh happily while they carried her the first few steps.
WAFF! Oh how I love it. Can't wait to see more. You know what would have been funny, ff Vivio overheard them talking and asked what they were talking about.

Because it was originally intended to be a small side-story dedication to Junkedcat's fic but ended up taking life of it's own. Instead of doing a more of a "inside look on Nanoha" I ended up re-wording his story, and that isn't right.
So, as of now, Richgirl!Nanoha has been removed from FF.N and will no longer be updated past what I am about to post (that was written before I decided this and has JC's approval)
Junkedcat has told me that he would be happy if I continued doing shorts on his story, even if I didn't want to do RG!N anymore. So, from this post onward, any "Richgirl!Nanoha" updates will be nothing more than a small little short in his time line, just like other people write shorts on fellow author's here. Also, it will be AS exclusive.
Before this starts any kind of debate or something, I'll state this: My decision is final, and it has already been removed. Also, JC (Isn't it so much easier to say JC than Junkedcat?) had nothing to do with me deciding to quit. He actually was offering me help and was proofing the story for me and giving ideas. So don't think we had some type of argument or anything
Anyway, I'm gonna post the chapter here and then what little I had of the next chapter before I stopped will be converted into a "short" to further promote Landscaper!Fate.

I sighed out as I laid face down on the massaging table. I had one person doing my nails while another was massaging my back. A third person was rubbing my feet and would eventually give me a pedicure when this treatment was finished. Although, my weekly spa trip normally relaxed me to no end, I couldn't help but feel down today. It has been a few days already since my...incident... with Fate, and I was still upset over it. I wanted to talk to her, to try and get some explanation as to why she did that, but I had no idea how to contact her. I also wanted to know how she saw me. Was I a friend, an annoyance, or a toy? She paid attention to me, but what did she want?
Richgirl!Nanoha VI
By: Satashi
It was Thursday before they came back to my yard, almost two weeks since I last saw them. I ran many scenarios over in my mind since then, but each one left me more confused. Fate was hitting on me all this time and I didn't notice. She was gay, or at the very least openly bi-sexual. This didn't bother me, as I fully understood wanting to do your own thing, but at the same time it confused me. I have never been hit on by anyone, let alone a girl. I didn't know how to take it and it boggled my mind to think that Fate, of all people, wanted me... like that.
Her eyes met mine and I gripped the curtains nervously. Her face went through several different emotions before she started walking again. The weather outside was dull and gray, clouds hanging thick with the promise of rain. I guess they couldn't do their work when the yard was muddy, so they were trying to squeeze in whatever they could before it started to pour. If that was the case, then I wouldn't see them again for another long while after this... Which meant I didn't have a choice of waiting.
I moved to my vanity and started putting on my makeup. I went light today, just enough to appease my mother. She always liked me to look my best, and it became a habit over the years to always touch myself up when going out. Slowly, I walked downstairs and watched the group work from the kitchen for a long while. After checking to see if we had any, I started a fresh pitcher of lemonade and even remembered to cut out a little of the sugar this time. I tested it and puckered my lips. I didn't like it at all, but I was hoping Fate would.
I waited outside on the patio, watching the crew of three work on my yard for what must have been half an hour. Finally, a few drops of rain started to fall, making the man in charge curse rather loudly. He called for a round up of what they were currently doing so they could get ready to call it a day. Fate, thankfully, seemed to be done. Her eyes glanced over at me and I held up the glass of lemonade in a questioning manner. I could tell she was reluctant to come to me but I stood up anyway, walking to the end of the patio and holding it out with both hands.
By the time she reached me, I was already debating running back inside. I just might have if not for the fact that her hand took the glass from me. She offered a small “Thanks,” and sipped on it instead of drinking it all like last time.
“Too sweet?” I asked, trying to gather my courage and push back the images I had of her above me.
“Huh?” She looked at me oddly a moment. “Oh. Oh, no, yes, I mean...” She looked to the side. “A little...”
“I will try better next time.” My words made her look back up at me. “...Fate?”
“...Yes?”
“Why did you...do that?” Her eyes looked away from mine. “Please... please look at me.” Slowly red eyes came to meet mine. I was scared but at the same time I had motivation. I haven't left my house once since that night, and I missed the freedom. In order to get that back, I needed my courage again. Fate, the girl who started all of this, was the only one right now who could give me that. If I was a toy to her, then I would stop trying. I would just live my life the way others wanted me to. If it was different, if she really did see me as a person, then that alone was enough to give me faith to keep trying.
“I...” She swallowed and I could tell she was thinking of several things to say at this moment. Finally, she met my eyes and told me the blunt truth. “I wanted you.”
She wanted me. “Why?” I asked again.
“I just...did.” She tried to move her eyes from me, but for the first time in my life, I stepped to the side to make sure she couldn't. The motion made her looked rather shocked, and I rubbed my hands together nervously out of habit. “...That didn't give me any right to do what I did,” she admitted to me. “I shouldn't have done that. Really. I'm sorry.”
“Please... don't do something like that so suddenly anymore okay?”
“I promise I won't.” She looked a little hopeful now. “Can you forgive me?”
“Yes,” I answered quickly, blushing when she realized how eager I was to hear those words. “Um... Yes.” I tried again.
“Why would you want to talk to me again after that?” Her curiosity must have come up when I seemed so ready to forgive her.
“Because... you paid attention to me.” I brushed some hair behind my ear. “The first...to ever pay attention to me.”
“...Do you still want me to walk with you?”
“Yes.”
She grinned. “Can I still hit on you?”
I looked away. “I can't tell you not to...”
Fate moved to stand in front of me this time. “Can I work slowly on you?”
“Slowly?” I caught the teasing tone in her voice and I felt my lips turn up ever so slightly. She was her old self again, back to the girl who first drew my interest.
“Yeah,” She agreed. “I really do want you. Maybe I can work on you enough to do it with me willingly?”
I laughed softly, feeling that the joke was only half serious. “Maybe,” I evaded her from both my own shyness at the question as well as not really knowing what else to say. “I don't know how to react to this.”
“Surely you've been hit on before?” I shook my head. “No shit, really?” I was taken aback from her language but she went on before I could say anything. “You really are sexy you know.”
“Wha-?” I took a step back, losing my control over the conversation and feeling that familiar emotion once again rise up in my chest.
Fate took a step forward and leaned her arm up on the patio railing next to me. “I won't lie, you're smoking hot and I have it bad for you.”
“Is that...” I blushed hard, a little intimidated. “Is that why you say such strange things?”
“Yes.” She softened and her red eyes looked really caring for a moment. “Really, Princess, I'm sorry for what I did. I can joke all I want, but what it comes down to is me doing something I shouldn't have. Yes, I think you are sexy but it gave me no right to jump you like that. I promise it will never happen again.”
I believed her. Fate's eyes were a window to her thoughts, and I found myself able to read her mood quite easily. “Fate? May I ask something?”
“Yes?”
Before she started getting playful again, before she started hitting on me, I had to know. “How do you see me? ”
She smirked and I lost my lock on her eyes. “As a hot little girl I wouldn't mind taking my time on.” She touched my cheek with her fingertips. “You are nice to be around; like a friend or something.”
“A friend?” I repeated, eyes wide.
“Yeah,” she was fully teasing again. “Granted, I still get hot and wet just looking at you, but a friend indeed.” I blushed hard, both excited and embarrassed so badly I couldn't even speak anymore. “Tell me,” she leaned forward. “Will you give me a chance?”
I swallowed thickly, wanting to both say something and to run and hide. “Fate...” I managed out, getting a grin.
“FATE!” the male's leader's voice rang out over the yard. “Come on! It's going to rain!”
“Che,” Fate scoffed and I realized that a faint sprinkle had started coming down in the time we had been talking. “867-5309 .”
“Huh?”
“My phone number.”
I blushed. “O-okay...”
“Call me.”
“S-sure..” I felt my throat tighten.
“Slow, huh?” Fate looked at me. “May I?” She took my hand and I meekly nodded at her. To my surprise, she dipped down and kissed it. I felt my heart jump into my throat and I could only look at her with wide eyes as she winked and walked around the corner and back into the yard. “I'm coming!” She yelled out rudely. “Keep your pants on!”
“How about you keep yours on and get your ass in my truck!” The man yelled back.
I leaned back against the patio and fanned myself, breathing a little hard from my nervousness. That had most definitely turned out different than I thought it would.
I lay on my stomach, staring out the window into the pouring rain. My bed was soft, and the covers warm but I still couldn't sleep. I wanted to go out tonight, but I knew there was no way I could. As I rolled over onto my back, my eyes looked at the pink phone laying on my nightstand. I could call her, but then again it might just be a bother. True she stayed out late and all but...She did tell me too. Was it okay to call on the first day I got her number? She said specifically 'call me' so surely it was?
Moving over, I picked up my phone and looked at the contact list filled with names of people I never even spoke to. Fate's number wasn't stored but I had it memorized. I felt as if it almost rude to add her to my contact list, as it was filled with people I never wanted to talk to, but needed to know the numbers of. I flipped through it as I debated dialing. The maid service, my mom's cell phone, my house phone, my father's cell phone, father's work number, father's second work number, and finally a string of names of the people I went out on a date with. I put their names in so I would be sure not to answer when it rang. Now that I think about it, not answering my cell phone was the first thing I ever did that might be considered 'wrong'.
Slowly, I punched in Fate's number and stared at the screen. Four rings. I would let it ring four times... If she didn't' answer then I would hang up. Forcing myself to press send the button, I held it to my ear nervously. My breath was held as the phone rang out the simple tone in my ear. A second ring came, followed by a third. When the fourth was about to start I heard a click and finally a voice. "Yeah?" I tried to greet her back but I was still nervous. "Hellooooooooo?"
"Fa-Fate," I squeaked out. "It's... Um, I'm-"
"Princess," she answered for me in an amused tone. "Wow, calling the first night, I'm impressed."
"Am I... bothering you?" I sat on my bed and covered my legs with the sheets.
"I was just thinking about you," she cooed into my ear.
"R-really!?" I brought my hand to my chin, taking the covers with it. "Um... what... about...?"
Fate chuckled. "All kinds of things."
She also thought about me when I wasn't there? I felt so...flattered! "...Like what?" I tried again
"Different things," she avoided me again in a teasing tone.
"Mou, tell me." I insisted. "Please?"
"Pretty please?"
"Pretty please?" I repeated her words hopefully.
"Nope." I almost sighed into the phone. "What are you up to? Staying up late?" The topic turned to me now.
I lay back on my bed, too fidgety to stay still for too long. "Normally, I go to my room around ten but I don't actually sleep until later. This is the only time I have privacy so I enjoy it."
"You enjoy yourself?"
I caught the teasing tone and, having heard the phrase before, I knew immediately what she meant. "Fate... I don't..."
"Sure you do," she insisted.
"No... Really... I..." I stammered for words. Was she going to tease me again?
"Hey, Princess, tell me something?"
"Yes?"
"Tell me about your day."
My day? She was really interested in my day? I held my phone with both hands, feeling excited to have someone honestly ask me that question. "My, my day was great! " I heard a small chuckle and a request for details. "Well," I was sitting up again, smiling in my dark room illuminated only by my night light. "I, I woke up a little early today and ate breakfast, then I lounged around my room a little while and I looked out my window while reading, I love to read, and I saw you come so I went downstairs to make some lemonade, I hope it wasn't too sweet for you, I'll make it better next time, and I waited for you to be done so I could talk to you, you didn't get in trouble for talking did you, and I-"
"Whoa!" she laughed into the phone. "Princess, you have said more in the past single sentence than you have since we've met! Let me get a word in if you ask a question."
"OH! Oh, I'm... I'm sorry..."
"Don't be," Her voice was amused. "But what set you off like that?"
I felt embarrassed now. "No reason really. Just….A good day."
"A good day huh? How about I give you a nice rubdown to make it even better ?"
"I had a massage this week already," I politely declined her, going with the flow of topic change to better calm myself down.
"Come on, I have magic fingers."
"Really?" I was amused by her choice of words.
"Yeah," She got husky on me again and I recognized it as her 'flirty' tone. "Girls say they feel electricity from them."
"Oh really?" I actually giggled at her. I was embarrassed from the tone she was giving me but at the same time I was interested in hearing more. What was it like to be gay? To like other girls? Why did she want to hit on me so badly? Why did she like me? So many questions I wanted answers to. "Hey, Fate?"
"Yes, Princess?"
"Why do you flirt with me?"
"How dense can you be?" She sounded a little exasperated. "I told you; I want you. In my bed. Screaming my name."
I blushed darkly. "Fa-Fate..."
"You asked."
So I did...At least she was honest with me. "That's... a little scary."
"I told you I will work slow. Until you're ready."
"You sound sure of yourself."
"I am." She sighed out contently and I heard her shift around on her bed. "But I won't force you into anything you don't want. All you have to do is say 'stop' and I will. You have my word."
I had to force myself to ask the next part. "So...You are going to keep... flirting and hitting on me?"
"Unless you stay stop, yes. Yes I am." I didn't know what to say. I really had no idea how to respond to that. "So," Her voice was laced with excitement. "You aren't saying stop."
"I-I don't want you to stop! No, no. I mean-" She was laughing so hard I felt my cheeks warm up noticeably. "I meant that I don't want you to stop paying attention to me! No, that sounds so self-centered, I..." I was so confused on what to say right now I just went silent and allowed her to keep laughing.
"Princess, you're too much. I will enjoy this."
"...Really?"
"You got it."
"So all these things you say to me... they have double meanings don't they?" I wanted to get the topic off me before she could continue embarrassing me.
"Maybe," She teased me. "Are you okay saying these things? Your room isn't tapped is it?"
"Tapped? you mean so people can listen? No, no my room is soundproofed, just like the rest of our house. Daddy is very strict when it comes to certain things. Being disturbed during work is something that really sets him off, so we have a rule in our house: If the door is closed, do not disturb ."
"So...you could scream at the top of your lungs and no one would hear you?"
"M...maybe..." Was this a double meaning?
"I'll have to test that... Can you do me a favor?"
"Yes?" I would do anything for my friends!
"Scream my name? Preferably in a syrupy sweet tone."
"Wha, what!?"
"Come on, please?"
"Bu...but..." I looked around, despite knowing no one would hear or see me. "Why?"
"Come on, just do it?"
"But..."
Fate grinned. "Come oooooon."
I swallowed. "Fa... Faaaate."
"Oh that was weak. Scream it out?"
I swallowed. "Faaaaate!" It still barely came out more than a whisper.
"Come on Princes, scream for me!"
I held a hand to my chest and almost did scream it this time "Faaaaaaaaaaaate!"
"Oh wow that was hot!" Fate seemed very pleased. "I can't wait to hear that while you are under me."
Oh my god, she wanted a scream like that!? I hid my face in my pillows. "Fate, don't make me do things like that!"
"You didn't say stop," she reminded me.
"But... but..."
"Princess?" I stopped stammering. "Thanks."
I blushed. "...You're welcome." I did manage to make her happy, even if it was just a perverted little fantasy of hers. After everything that happened I'm sure she felt really bad as well... the way she looked this afternoon while working and the way she apologized repeatedly confirmed it. She deserved a little something. Besides, I had a safety word now. I felt like I could trust that word, even if I couldn't quite trust Fate's actions right now. I would place my bets on that. "If you need something," I spoke after a while of silence. "...Just ask, okay?"
"Hey, same to you." She yawned lightly.
"You're tired," I stated the obvious. "I'll let you go. Did I call too late?"
"No," She seemed happy right now. "Call me again, okay?"
"Um, when should I call?"
"As long as I’m home, anytime. What about you? Can I call?"
"I'd rather not," I apologized. "I'm actually... sneaking these calls. If anyone found out they would ask questions..."
"Ah, and I'm just hired help hitting on their daughter."
"N-no! you're not-!"
"I know," Fate didn't seem offended. "Over protective Daddy doesn't want his daughter getting muff dived on."
"...Muff dived?"
A snicker. "Me licking your pussy."
“I don't have a cat,” I blinked, hearing soft chuckles in the background. “...That meant something really dirty, didn't it?” I thought hard, wracking my mind for what little slang I knew for perverted action and blushed hard when I came up with something I was fairly sure was right. “So," I coughed. "Um... I'll call you okay?" Please, Fate, don't press that topic...
"Don't worry about your bill?" A topic change.
"I have roll-over minutes, no one will ever notice that I'm actually using them."
"In that case call me tomorrow too."
"I can? Really?"
"Hey, I told you I'm going to work on you... makes it faster for me."
I was almost used to this by now. "Okay, I'll call you sometime after nine."
"Promise?" I knew something was coming after this but I had to bite.
"I promise."
"Good, it's a date then. G'night!" She hung up before I could say anything.
Sad that its over. But oh well. I liked this last post. Nanoha and Fate are back to normal and Nanoha is finally getting some of the dirty jokes. She's so naive sometimes! Was that just a random telephone number? I loved the cellphone conversation. Especially Nanoha screaming Fate's name. Looking forward to the shorts.

Spoiler for [Medieval!Nanoha] Chapter 2:
2. Second Scroll – Search
“Bring them to me! Do not come back without them!” Those words… those harsh and commanding words… she could still hear them clearly in her mind, whenever she closed her eyes. They kept coming back, at a point of almost obsession and she would stop at nothing to fulfill her order. Nothing.
Those were the thoughts of Fate Testarossa as she held her scythe at the man’s throat.
“I will only ask once more. Where did he go?” the girl repeated the question. The man was shivering under her grip, trying to find a way to escape or blend even more with the tree he was currently pinned to. Warm beads of sweat were falling down his face out of nervousness. Although the girls’ tone wasn’t harsh, it had a sort of commanding feel and the look in her burgundy eyes told him that she would cut his head off without second thoughts if he couldn’t satisfy her with his answer.
“I-I… th-ey… the boy went east!” he tried saying. She girl sighed and lowered the scythe from his chin. “Let’s go, Arf.” She motioned towards the older woman behind her. The man, thinking he had escaped tried to run away, but was caught by the woman and knocked down unconscious.
“That wasn’t very helpful, nee Fate?”
The girl shook her head. They continued on leaving the unconscious man behind. They hadn’t found out anything else relevant to their cause, but still, Fate disliked having to kill without reason. The woman, Arf, was a former failed thief whom Fate had found wounded when she was little. Little Fate had taken care of her and now the two were inseparable. Arf had found a home and a purpose in life, while Fate had found a friend and a faithful companion. They were currently searching for one scholar named Yuuno Scrya, who was supposedly to be heading towards the Capital. Thus far, their search hadn’t had many results, but people proved to very talkative under the pressure of a scythe.
“We’ll continue our search in the morning.” Fate beckoned to her companion. It was already getting dark and they had spend most of they day monotonously walking. The two stopped and made their makeshift camp and ate some of their provisions before preparing to go to sleep.
“Sleep well, Fate.” Arf said, but the girl already had her back turned and didn’t reply.

It took Yuuno a very long time to get his friend out of shock and even a longer time to get her on her feet and moving. The events had affected Nanoha greatly and she refused to believe anything like that had ever happened. She had always believed she would live her peaceful life with her parents and learn to take care of the bakery. Then one day she would find a husband, probably from the village or around it, marry, have some children and die of old age. She dreamed of going in the world and seeing and doing things that no other person had ever done before, but reality had always been cruel and kept her with her feet on the ground.
Now, here she was, having just blasted a human being and now running away from the very village that she had known her whole life. It was surreal.
“What… happened?” Nanoha broke the silence that had been dominating them for the past few hours. The first rays of sun had started appearing on the sky and the two had finally stopped to rest from their continuous walk.
“Raiders attacked your village.” Yuuno replied as he went and put his back against a tree. There was a long and inevitable talk incoming. The silence that came from Nanoha told him he should continue. “I think they were after this!” the boy reached to his bag and showed it to Nanoha.
“An empty bag?” the container looked old and worn, barely worth even one loaf bread. Why would anyone want that?
Yuuno sighted loudly. “I guess there’s no reason to keep it from you now. You’re very much in this as well now.”
“My name is Yuuno and I belong to the clan of Scrya. I am an apprentice at a local monastery from the countryside. I was tasked with transporting an important set of artifacts named Jewel Seeds, recently found during an expedition. On route to the capital and very close to you village I was attacked by local bandits who probably mistook them for precious stones and stole them. Then I was found by you and you sort of know the story from there on.”
“Those raiders who attacked your village must have been hired to get these artifacts. They’ve been following me for the last weeks, but up until now I’ve always managed to loose their trail…”
Nanoha nodded slowly. Yuuno’s story sort of made sense, yet she still had a hard time understanding the whole thing. There was one problem that was still heavy on her mind. “What about that longbow?”
Yuuno sighed once again. He was sighing quite often in a very short period of time and it helped increase Nanoha’s worry that things were far worse than what she could grasp.
“Nanoha… you possess magical powers. It’s a special condition that happens when a human body develops an additional component called Linker Core. It cannot be seen and it’s nigh impossible to realize one has it unless it manifest itself in some way. In your case, you became attuned with a focus and allowed the power of the Linker Core to flow freely. Attunement is usually done by having the blood of the subject connect with the focus. It’s an irreversible process.”
Nanoha nodded once again. There was no need for words at that point. In just a few hours she had been in a state of shock and confusion far too many times. Her mind was probably numb from it all and she took the situation in quite calmly. Looking at her hands she saw the scratch marks that she had received when she had fallen during the initial attack. They were covered in already coagulated blood from the minor cuts that had already begun to heal. So that’s where the blood had come from. And when she had touched the bow… disturbingly it made sense.
The sun had already fully claimed its spot on the skies. They had been talking for at long time. The forest was quiet though. Nobody had followed them. Nanoha wondered what had happened to her parents. Were they alright? Could she go back? The answer was probably no. Although she had never seen it, she had heard tales of what the church did to these so called witches and wizards. Yet, in every story, the witches were portrayed as evil and gruesome beings that brought suffering into the world. Yuuno, as herself, were now supposedly one of these beings. Yet she didn’t feel evil. And Yuuno had struck her as a very king and gentle person as well. She began to wonder just what was true in what she had been told up till now. The answer came in the form of Yuuno handing her out the bow.
“Here, it’s your now. I have no further use of it.” He told her. Seeing the puzzled look on her face he continued. “You are its master and the rightful person to wield it. Once attuned, only the bow’s master can use it properly. Go ahead, take it. You can give it a proper name if you want.”
Nanoha took the bow in her hand. It felt light and heart warming, as if most of her previous insecurities had passed. “Raising Heart.” She muttered. As if in acknowledgement, Nanoha though she saw the red jewel on the bow lighten up, but disregarded it as a show of light.
“I’m sorry for dragging you into this, Nanoha. It was never meant to happen.” Yuuno said lowering his head to stare at the ground and looking genuinely sad.
Her family was alright, Nanoha ultimately decided. It was impossible for them not to be. They had always told her that whatever she chose to do in the future, she would have their support. There was no turning back and only going forward now.
“It’s okay!” Nanoha said managing to put a smile on her face. “So, what are you going to do from now on?”
“I need to go and retrieve the Jewel Seeds, but first – “
“I’m coming with you!” Nanoha cut him off swiftly. Yuuno looked into her and saw a glitter of determination he hadn’t seen before in the girl. She was definite that she wanted to come with him, no matter what. It sort of made him happy.
“You’ll need to learn to control your power though. You may have been lucky up till now and a few times in the future but one day that luck will end. You see, magic is naturally attracted to heat, therefore if you shoot the projectile will go towards the nearest heat source. That way, even if the arrow misses, you will still probably hit what you want to hit if it’s a human, but without control there are numerous ways it can backfire, since there is no telling towards what heat source it will go first. It’s tricky. I don’t want you to accidentally shoot me, or worse, yourself!” Yuuno said the last part almost laughingly.
Nanoha listened carefully to his explanation. The whole atmosphere between them had lightened up and it seemed even Yuuno had taken away part of the seriousness in his voice. The two had been on the same wave line during the whole discussion, to a point that they began understanding each others reasoning without the need of an explanation. Nanoha knew she could count on Yuuno.
Everything that needed telling having already been told, the two decided to set off on their newfound quest, following whichever road appeared before them.
Spoiler for Something that's supposed to be Notes::
+ Tried to get them into as much in-character-ness as possible and failed miserably.
+ Yes, the way magic is used in the Nanoha universe just went down the drain and replaced. Any problems?
Yay chapter two! We get to see Fate and Arf. I'm guessing that Precia is evil in this. A question about the magic: So how does RH differentiate attacks like divine buster and starlight breaker? It shoots arrows, does that mean the more powerful it is, the bigger the arrow? Oh and you didn't have much description of Bardiche. Does Bardiche look different as well?

Stepping up to the platform, one hand reached to touch the pole as the other one trailed the hem of her shirt. Long blond hair fell over her shoulder as she slowly waved her hips to the music. As she stepped forward her hand moved up her stomach, moving the shirt up along with it. Tailing over her tummy, the the girl winked her ruby red eye before pulling her shirt off teasingly. Nanoha stood in shock as she watched the show, eyes going wide as her special person twirled around the pole before rocking her body against it and slowly trailing the tip of her tongue along it. Grinding her body against the shaft, bluejeans were ever so slowly undone and wiggled down. Black panties were revealed as she placed her back against the support and started wiggling her hips. The brown haired girl finally snapped out of her daze and started walking over to her, blushing furiously as a bra was tossed on the floor.
“Okay,” She spoke, getting a curious look. “What in the world is this!?”
Fate didn't know what to say either. One hand held the box while the other took away the wii remotes from her daughter's hands. “Wii Strip.” She read aloud, looking amazed at her confused daughter. “What kind of games are these?”
“But, it's a video game,” Vivio's innocent voice declared. “I play it all the time, wasn't my dance good?”
The two mothers looked at each other embarrassedly. “Um, yes darling, but... this isn't the kind of dance you should be doing.”
“Why?” She tilted her head to the side. “You let me play Dance Dance Revolution all the time.”
“It's...” Fate tried, drawing a blank for words. “You're just... not allowed to pole dance better than mama, okay?”
“FATE-CHAN!” Nanoha blushed furiously. “Don't tell her that!”
Vivio blinked, looking down at the case for her 'wii strip' game. “But...It's fun...”
Wii Strip!?! Lol. A whole new line of games for the wii system.
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that today's regularly scheduled update of Undercover might be a little late in coming, as late as tomorrow morning, I don't really know. I've got a Political Science exam (a week before the final, I ask you) and a party to go to tonight, so I"m not honestly sure if I'll have the time to get out the rest of the fic tonight.
As of now, it's sitting at around two pages of awful and needs a lot of work. D:
@Satashi -
I rather enjoyed Richgirl!Nanoha, but its ultimately the author's decision as to what they do with the stories that they start. I'm glad that JC is still continuing his end, and I sort of understand why you've stopped writing this particular fic.
That being said, I look forward to your next project.
Location: In the Netherrealm, thinking who to betray next...

Vivio looked around excitedly as they came to the end of the animal exhibit. On top of Nanoha's shoulders, she smiled brightly as she got to reach up and lightly stroke a tall animal that towered them. "Did you feel it?" Nanoha asked happily.
"Un!" Vivio grabbed Nanoha's pigtails again. "Let's go that way!"
"Ow! Vivio, darling, Mama's hair! Fate-chan, get her for me?"
Fate laughed, reaching up to lift the small child. "C'mere Honey." Setting the girl on the ground, she took her hand. "Where did you want to go?"
Nanoha adjusted her hair, ending up having to take them down and just let it flow out behind her. "The small town?"
"Un!" Vivio started dragging Fate along to the miniature village section of the park. The buildings were all small, being just the right size for Vivio to enter and walk around a little. Random people dressed cartoon character suits sat in chairs waving to all the little people. "Mama, Mama! Can I go in?"
"Sure," Fate watched her child let go of her hand and run excitedly a few feet over to one of the open doors and look around. "She's really excited," The blond spoke lightly while keeping an eye on her.
"Mmn, She will be exhausted before lunch time."
"We can hope." Fate put her arm around Nanoha when she got close enough. "I think we're going to be exhausted as well at this rate. But as long as she's- Vivio!" Both parents darted forward to follow the girl as she went from one tiny house to another. "I swear, she's as bad as you!"
"Me!?" Nanoha stopped in front of the small building and watched Vivio run though it and play with the other kids. "I don't just vanish like...." She glanced at Fate, who was looking at her in a knowing maner. "Okay, maybe I do run off without saying anything..."
"Yup." Both parents followed Vivio again as she waved to them and pointed this time for permission. With a nod, they walked behind her, jogging every now and then, to keep up with her. "Maybe we should get one of those harness things..."
"I am not putting Vivio on a leash." Nanoha protested. "Though if you wanted one for later..." She wagged her eyebrows.
"Only if you consent to the ball gag?" Fate smirked back, getting a hot blush when the flirt was called. "Oh wow, I haven't said anything naughty in a long time!"
"Yeah when I bought that strap-"
"mama!"
"YES!?" Both quickly dropped the conversation and looked down at Vivio, who now had a balloon.
"Drink?" She inquired innocently.
"Here you are," Nanoha knelt down to let Vivio slurp what was left of the slushie. "Did you have fun?"
"Un!"
Fate looked at a map of the park. "We just barely made it past the intro stage of the park... I think there is an Egypt themed section ahead... If we go now we can go on a 'tour' of an old pyramid."
Nanoha grinned. "Too bad Yuuno isn't with us, he'd love that. What do you say, Vivio? Want to explore a pyramid!?" She made her voice sound really excited.
"Un! Un!" Vivio hopped in place. "I want to!"
"Come on!" Nanoha took one hand and allowed Fate to take the other. "Let's hurry!" Together they lifted up, taking Vivio's feet off the ground to allow her to laugh happily while they carried her the first few steps

Cute!!!
