Author's note: Alright, it's time to continue this dead fan-fic. Cheers to Nanoha and Fate and everybody out there.

" Fate, I want to sleep. Can we just leave all these works until tomorrow pleaseeee?" Nanoha gave a loud groan as she tried to solve an algebra question and coincidentally, mathematics was her weakest subject so it was giving her a huge headache.

Fate replied before she continue to sip her coffee. " No, Nanoha. Your test is due this Friday and we have around three to four days left to help you pass it. Beside, i am sacrificing my sleep here to help you so be grateful and work hard and not just complain about it."

" You are more of a devil than Yuuno. At least he knows the notion of rest." Nanoha muttered under her breathe as she glared at the offending question who was obviously testing her patience.

Fate placed down her cup of coffee and held Nanoha's hand gently, causing Nanoha to give a surprise look at her. " Because, I care about you. I don't want you to go some special supplementary programs and deprive us the chance to go on dates. I am selfish, Nanoha. I want you to be with me every possible moment in our lives."

Nanoha was touched not only by Fate's words but the feeling she put into them. She could feel the sincerity and the love Fate had for her through those words and she knew all of it because she knew Fate wasn't a person who would say such things easily, at least in her opinion.

She smiled at the blond girl who had the same expression and said, " Thank you Fate. That meant a lot to me." Fate gave an embarrassed look after realising what she had just say to Nanoha but she continued to hold her hand while smiling at Nanoha.

" Ahem, sorry if i intrude into both of your world." Yuuno coughed lightly as he opened the room's door which caused the couple to seperate from each other quickly while blushing madly. He gave an amused look at the both of them and admonished them lightly, " Well, I don't mind the both of you declaring your love for each other but mind if the both of you do it after the examination?"

" Yes, dad. Yuuno, maybe you should adopt me after you have become legally adult." Nanoha teased him which caused Fate to chuckle and Yuuno, as usual, had the perfect reply, " No thanks, I rather being your friend than your father. Beside, i don't have a lot of lifetimes to spare you know?"

" Hey, what do you mean by that? Come on Fate, rebuke him." Nanoha turned to Fate for help, knowing that she would help her except that her girlfriend was laughing at Yuuno's reply.

" Geez, everybody just love to bully me. Even Fate, humph." Nanoha turned her head away from the both of them and instead, she turned her attention back on solving that question. Yuuno ruffled Nanoha hair, which she enjoyed it though she tried to hide it from them, and said, " Well, good luck on your revision. Know that all of us want you to pass the test, so do your best. Goodnight then, the both of you. I shall go have my... beauty sleep."

He then quickly ran out of the room as pillows were thrown at him by the both of them. Nanoha then resumed on her revision albeit reluctantly while Fate continued to supervise Nanoha although her eyes were more on her than her work. As Nanoha tried to solve it in vain, Fate couldn't help but grinned at Nanoha's expression which to her, was both funny and cute.

But even Fate had her limit and looking at Nanoha could only help that much. Her eyes started to become heavy and her mind became cloudy as her body tried to force her to sleep and although she tried to resist them, she finally succumbed to her body's wish and she fell asleep.

" Mou, I still cannot solve this question. Fate, mind if you come and help me?" Nanoha cried out in frustration and decicded to ask her lover for help. She waited for Fate's reply but to her surprise, there was only complete silence. She then turned towards Fate and was greeted by the sight of her lying on her bed, sleeping peacefully.

" Mou.. Only they get to sleep, yet I have to do all these questions which are going to take the whole night to complete them. Ahh, forget it. Sleep is still important, i shall leave all these questions for tomorrow then." Nanoha then closed her assessment book and switched off her table lamp, then she headed towards her own bed and slowly and carefully pushed Fate gently to one side while she took up the other side of the bed.

" Goodnight, sweetheart." She gave Fate a kiss on the cheek then she closed her eyes and instantly fell into her dreamland.

Fate POV

I looked around me and see a meadow with the lush green grass decorated over it and with trees acting as ornaments on it. I slowly walked towards it but i don't know for what purpose, just that my body acted on its own. As I continued to walk, a tree which was in front of me started to grow in my view as i get closer to it and when i reached it, it towered over me. I realised it was a sakura tree as petals glided past me and grazing my cheek gently.

I touched the spot where it touched me and realised it felt real. Is it the real world or is it the world in my dream? Then, the same girl who have being talking to me in my dream appeared from behind the tree and she smiled at me.

" You again? Why do you bring me here?" I asked her although the tone was not gentle. She replied with a giggle, " I'm not the one who bring you here. It's you who come here on your own accord."

" Oh really? But why will I come here for?" I gave a skeptical look at the little girl and when she doesn't reply to my answer, I try to press her for it.

" Well, no answer there? So i guess it's true that you are manipulating me in my dream huh?" She stared at me with her unusual eyes and said softly, " No, I'm not controlling you or anything. Just know that it is not coincidence but it is all fate that all of these things happen."

I was about to retort back when she suddenly appeared in front of me and placed her finger on my lips. " Hush, Fate. Do you like this sakura tree?"

I raised my eyebrows at the unexpected question she asked me but nonetheless, i replied. " I find it pretty." She lowered her head in disappointment and asked softly, " Just like that?"

I nodded my head then suddenly, she grabbed my hand and placed it on the tree. I was about to ask her what's she doing when suddenly, i felt a sense of connection with the tree. It was as though the tree was part of me or to put it accurately, I was part of the tree. I tried to remove my hand from the tree but it was as though my hand was glued to it. Fear started to grip me but then, i felt warmth on my hand.

I looked at the source of warmth and realised that it was the little girl who was placing her hand on mine. She smiled at me then said, " Do you realise it now, Fate?" I continued to stare at her, not knowing how to reply her then it suddenly hit me like a jolt of lightning.

" Hey, aren't you Vivio?" She looked startled at my question then she gave a mysterious smile and said, " Go back to sleep, Fate. You will know all of the answers in the future."

A sense of vertigo overcame me and i lost conscious, again retreating from the dreamworld.

I woke up suddenly, and realised that i was no longer in the world in my dream but in the real world, the world where Nanoha and I live. I sighed, aware that it was stupid of me to take the dream seriously but it was so real, such that i had trouble distinguishing reality and drean.

" This sucks really. At this rate, I will go crazy." I muttered to myself. I then realised that i had fallen asleep during the supervision and that Nanoha was sleeping beside me. I groaned and gave a face-palm, knowing that Yuuno would give her an earful for this but when i saw the peaceful expression Nanoha gave when she slept, I gave up all thoughts of waking her up and asking her to study.

" Oh well, i let you off for today then." I stroked her face and she gave a soft moan then she suddenly gave a " nyahaha.".

" She's just like a kitten. Cute and innocent, even while she's sleeping." I mused to myself then i gave a loud yawn before i could stifle it. I then kissed her cheek, which she again moaned softly, before falling asleep.

I was about to fell asleep when i felt something crawling onto the bed. I woke up reluctantly and was wondering what it was when that thing asked with a slur, " I want to sleep with Fate onee chan and Nanoha onee chan."

I gave a sigh of relief when i realised it was Vivio. She gave a yawn and squeezed herself between Nanoha and I and fell asleep before I could say anything. I scratched my head and was pondering whether I should carry her to her bed when I realised that she had the same expression as Nanoha when she was sleeping.

I was struggling within myself over the decision of returning her to her bed and the look on her face did not help matters. Finally, i gave up and tried to sleep in a side-way position so as to make more space for Vivio and which i had to sacrificed my own sleeping space.

3rd person view.

" Ring... Ring..."

" Urgh... Can somebody turn that alarm off?" Fate muttered as she tried to shut the ringing sound by grabbing the pillow and covered her ears. Finally after a few seconds of ringing, Fate gave a groan and cursed the clock under her breath as she walked groggily towards the alarm clock and turned it off.

She then gave a yawn and proceeded back to the bed for her sleep when Yuuno entered the room and said with a smile, " Wow, you are such a early-riser. Unlike Nanoha who always sleep like a log and I have to spend half of my morning just to wake her up."

Fate rubbed her eyes blearily and went to the bathroom to clean herself. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went back to their room, feeling refreshed and ready for another school day. She was amused at the sight of Yuuno shaking Nanoha until Yuuno himself was exhausted while Nanoha continued to sleep.

Finally when Yuuno, with the help of Fate, managed to wake Nanoha up who was in a bad mood, the both of them went to the dining room quickly so as to avoid Nanoha who was cursing and grumbling while she was washing herself.

They ate their breakfast and changed into their uniforms, then they set out for school after Nanoha wrote a note for Vivio which had some instructions in it.

They were then joined by Chrono and Vita who was questioning the trio over the night revision. She gave a disappointed look when the three of them answered her and she complained, " Tch, nothing interesting. I thought Nanoha or Fate will do something interesting but guess I'm wrong."

Nanoha turned red and looked away while Fate just shrugged and determined to look at anywhere but Chrono and Vita while Yuuno laughed softly. Vita looked at their reactions then she shrugged and started to hum a tune from " Secret Ambition". Chrono gave a disinterested look and instead chatted with Yuuno about the various upcoming computer games.

Fate then grabbed Nanoha's hand which elicted another blush from her and held it as they walked towards school. When they reached the school gate, Takeru and his cronies were standing in front of the gate, chatting around and pointing at the girls walking into the school while giving dirty smiles at them.

" Hey, look who's here? It's the lesbian couples and their dogs." Takeru shouted at them when he noticed the group and his cronies all laughed loudly which made them looked more stupid. Fate just raised her fist in reply and releasing Nanoha's hand for a moment, she cracked them and said, " Look's who here? A bunch of losers whose leader is an even bigger loser than them."

Takeru and his friends glared at her and he said threateningly, " Say that again and I make sure that you regret your words. Don't think that your bunch of dogs can win us in fights."

Fate raised her eyebrows and she laughed at them. " So say the loser who cannot win a girl in a fight. I bet that after you lose to me, you go back crying to your mummy huh?"

Takeru looked like he wanted to lunge at her but he managed to restrain himself in time. He took a deep breath and he sneered, " At least I'm straight. Unlike you and your .... girlfriend who are just a bunch of freaks."

Now Fate wanted to lunge at him and taught him a lesson he deserved but Nanoha grabbed her hand and shook her head silently, beseeching her to control herself. Fate bit her lips and glared at him, pouring as much hatred and venom as possible into the glare. She had never hated somebody so much but Takeru turned out to be the exception.

Yuuno stepped forward and said, " Go away, Takeru. Or else I will report to the discipline master that you are preventing us to enter the school and caused us to be late, then we will see who is laughing."

Takeru narrowed his eyes but was unable to form a comeback at Yuuno so he walked into the school with his gang, leaving a nasty atmosphere behind.

Vita and Chrono rolled their eyes together and said in unison, " What a waste of time talking to idiots." Yuuno patted Fate and Nanoha on the shoulder and gestured towards the school. " Shall we go in? Don't worry about Takeru, he's just an idiot who only know how to spout nonsense."

Nanoha nudged at Fate and asked softly, " Are you ok, Fate?" Fate just nodded her head silently and grabbing Nanoha's hand gently, she then walked into the school with her friends.

" Hey, what's up Nanoha." Hayate cheery voice greeted her once Nanoha reached her seat.. Nanoha just shook her head and replied, " Nothing Hayate. I thought you are busy with your council duty?"

Hayate shrugged her shoulder and sat opposite Nanoha. " They can do without me for a few minutes. So, what is it that is bugging you? And don't say there's nothing cause you suck at lying."

Nanoha sighed then she told Hayate about the whole incident. Hayate gave a thoughtful look then she said, " Well, it shouldn't be a problem about being lesbians for Fate since she had declared the relationship to the whole school. Beside, it's Takeru we are talking about and only idiots will take his words seriously. Maybe you try asking her about it?"

" I will already done it if she is willing to talk to me about it but she's keep having that face of her which shouts " stay away from me". What a great morning huh?" Nanoha then lied her face onto the table and sighed again while Hayate continued to ponder over Nanoha words.

" Alright class, please get back to your seats." There was a mad scramble in the class as the students rushed back to their seats and Hayate continued to give a worried look at her good friend who continued to look lifeless.

After school, Fate was standing outside the school gate and waiting for Nanoha as usual. She knew that she was in a foul mood and all of her friends had suffered from her moodiness and worse of all, Nanoha suffered the most as she accompanied Fate whenever they got free time.

She rubbed her temple and made a mental note to apologise to everybody the next day, especially Nanoha. Well, she thought wryly, she could easily made up to her tonight....

Oh god, she blushed. When had she started to have such thoughts.. She had fantasized sometime before but now, she was seriousy considering doing that to her. Recalling the innocent sleeping face of Nanoha, she dispelled such thoughts in her mind. There's no way she would risk losing that face over such stuffs, even though she desired it but she could control it.

" Hey, Fate. Have you wait for very long?" Fate grinned at the short girl who was panting in front of her and she replied, " Not at all, Nanoha. You don't have to rush yourself, especially since you aren't fit."

" Mou, I'm fit. I passed my fitness test just like you so there." Nanoha retorted which Fate easily countered. " Yeah, i passed with flying colours. You barely passed, so there's a difference."

" Humph, whatever. At least my figure is better than yours." Nanoha puffed out her chest, knowing that she had won Fate but Fate chuckled and whispered softly, " Let's check it at home tonight, shall we?"

Nanoha widened her eyes at Fate's answer but instead of blushing which was her usual reaction, she grinned and nodded her head. " Alright, if that's what Fate desire."

Fate swallowed and she asked slowly, " Nanoha, are you serious about it?"

" Nyahah, of course... not. I can't believe Fate actually believe me, what a pervert." Nanoha laughed which made Fate felt a bit embarrassed and she just walked off quickly, causing Nanoha to run just to catch up with her.

" Oh yeah, Nanoha. Remember that we have tuition tonight so prepare yourself. Yesterday night is too slack for us, so tonight we must work hard." Nanoha groaned loudly and was about to turn about and run away when Fate grabbed her hand and pulled her along with her, laughing at Nanoha's protest.
