Hello! Come one! Come all! I am alive, and wish to share my joy!

To those of you who don't know me, I'm a riot. My name is Joe, I often go by XT-421 on the internet. I won't lie, I like to brag a little, my stories tend to be really entertaining. I put a lot of effort into them, and I have a knack for story telling. Almost all of my stories traditionally have one element in common, and that is XT-421 himself. You'll see him, I'll spoil that much, but I have to get off this topic before I reveal too much.

This story was tricky to write, (still writing it, really) and it gets harder as I go on. However I expect it to be very rewarding in the end.

I would like to do a shout-out here, and it is worth noting that I have never done something like this to the extent in which I did it. Most of the stories you've read from me have been me being concitedly awesome solo. Of course, I'll ask opinions, but often, I disregarded them, and never really accepted any input. Not this story. This story's plot was hammered together not only by me, but also by a man with the Penname Dragonkey258. Never before have I been cornered enough to say it, but this story honestly wouldn't have been published if not for this guy. He knows his stuff, he's good with fanfiction. He often berates himself for not having enough fans, (so go see his work, it is interesting.) He writes a little differently than I do, but surely that will be refreshing. I will list them in babble-speak to you, the parts he is responsible for idealizing at the end of the story, but I assure you that it is easily 25 percent of the story that he idealized. Not to mention the other 60 percent that he essentially convinced me was a good idea.

But, now let me explain how the fanfiction runs.

PREFACE: I DID NOT READ THE MANGA. THERE ARE FEW REFERENCES TO THE MANGA. I apologize sincerely, but spinelessly beg you to reconsider reading this regardless of the lack of Manga references.

Let's do a little comparison.

Ok, so, Hayate no Gotoku as an anime is wild, often over-the-top, it breaks the fourth wall every so often, it makes references to other animes.

My story attempts to mirror that. Occasionally, there will be points where I break the fourth wall as a narrator, and I also do my best to reference other anime shows within the story.

I also tried my best to adhere to the characters as they are in the anime. This is my most mature work to date, yet it is also my most childish.

BUT WHO AM I KIDDING? You don't want to listen to me blather on about how my story operates! You'd rather read it!

So, without further ado,

Hoshi Shirushi Kara Futte Gotazoku!

Enjoy!

[hr]

It all begins with the stars.

A pair of emerald eyes stared up into the violet skies just after the sun had finally set. Her blonde, excessively long pony tails hung, partially twisted behind her head as she gazed upon the starscape before her in a daze. She was thin, young, and poorly underdeveloped for her age of an early fifteen year old girl.

They say that when a young girl with longing casts her wishes to shooting stars above, her deepest desires will be answered.

She knew her desires very well.

"Hayate..." she whispered, barely inaudible.

"Yes, Milady?" The blue haired butler was already standing at attention behind her.

"Idiot! I wasn't asking for you!" She growled angrily, shooing him away.

What she wanted was for him to be the good boyfriend he said he was on that one fateful day that they had met. Since then, she gave him a well paying job and saved his life once or twice.

She was the granddaughter of the Sanzenin mega-tycoon patriarch. Her name? Nagi Sanzenin.

She wanted nothing more than Hayate's love, even though he scarcely showed it to her. Instead, he showed it to just about every girl Nagi knew. She had personally caught Hayate with Ayumu Nishizawa the Hamster, Hinagiku Katsura the president of the student council, her best friend Isumi Saginomiya, Sakuya Aizawa, another good friend who happened to be more developed, and her own maid, Maria.

Nagi was bitter about it, for the most part. He showed affection to just about anyone, but her.

Her wish was simple, and a shooting start had just flown over the horizon. I wish Hayate would show me that he loves me.

Her wish was actually quite complicated. Even after two years of having him as a butler, Nagi still had no idea that when Hayate fumbled the words "I want you" out of his mouth, he was actually insinuating a kidnapping because he was so broke. He was too embarrassed to ever admit to this fact, and so, Nagi had lived under the delusion that Hayate wanted her as a girlfriend.

Of course, the wishing star was not an ordinary wishing star. Were it ordinary, it wouldn't be worth mentioning as a major plot element. No, this wishing star was strange. After being wished upon, it changed color, from white yellow to burning green. Two colors erupted, as if fighting over one another, a red and a purple, both shimmering with the green aura. It happened so quickly Nagi didn't even admit to seeing it.

The small earthquake though, that made her panic and leave the balcony she was staying on. Frightened, she crawled into her bed and called for Maria, who was presently nowhere to be heard.

The moonlight illuminated her world as she tended the garden. Maria, Nagi's maid and caretaker, and, for all intensive purposes, the boss of the Sanzenin Manor, was tidying up her special flower garden in the patch just behind the mansion. This was one of the ways she expressed herself. She loved these flowers, to the point of protecting them from visitors as she had done to Hayate when he had first arrived to the manor.

Little did she know, she was being watched.

Ok. The moon is on my side tonight. I like Maria. I want her to know. Hayate kept repeating this in his head. He knew what Lady Nagi had told him "if you lay your hands on Maria, I'll make you wish you were fired." But, he really did like her, and he wanted her to know. Perhaps, if Maria laid her hands on him...? No! Indecent thoughts! I will just say that I like her.

Hayate walked from behind the bush and into the clearing where Maria was.

"Oh, Hayate, I didn't hear you coming."

Hayate bit his lip and his body started to tremble slightly. A core feeling, rattling him from the inside out, was slowly building inside him as he tried to visualize the words he had just thought.

"Maria, I-"

Maria perked up. Secretly, she too wanted him to say something.

"I- I really, really like you."

Perhaps for the first time in history, Hayate was able to take his thoughts from his brain, transfer them through his mouth, and make them come out how he had thought them. Basically, he was terrible while speaking to girls on an emotional level.

Maria's face flushed pink. Yes, this is exactly what she wanted to hear. But no, she could not respond appropriately. She gave herself a moment to compose herself, tormenting Hayate with the wait, and responded.

"Hayate," she began so sincerely, "I am sorry." Hayate's heart broke a little. "In other circumstances, I'd love to accept your offer, but, I can't. Nagi specifically does not want us together. Forget about liking me. That is the easiest path for the both of us."

She checked her watch, noted the time, and sat back upright. Holding back tears she lifted herself to a standing position, her flowers mostly done, and began to speak again.

"It is late. I must be off to bed. Again, I'm sorry Hayate, it just can't happen."

This is why you don't ask girls out Hayate, they all hate you! He yelled at himself. He was terrible with women.

As Maria darted off to the shed to put away her gardening tools, she sobbed silently. Hayate trudged back towards the mansion to sleep in his eloquently mediocre bed, millions of times better than the floor of his old house.

In minutes of getting to his room, Hayate feel asleep, not even bothering to get out of his uniform. He was exhausted and defeated, and he may or may not have been crying.

Maria entered the shed to place her tools away. Tears openly flowed from her face. She was very conflicted. She wanted Hayate as badly as he wanted her. However, she knew too well that it would break Nagi's heart to see the woman she looked up to and the man she aspired to be with, together as a couple. She let loose a deep, long-withheld sigh and recollected herself. Wiping away her conflicted tears and turned around the moment she was done placing her trowel on a rack.

She gasped when she looked into the doorway. Barring her exit from the shed was a seven-foot-tall machine with pointed spikes where its ears should be, glowing emerald eye panels, and silver and purple armor plating that glimmered in the spring moonlight. Apparently, it must have appeared when she was sobbing.

"Shie nok ta'l, Maria." It was an oily, masculine voice that came from the robot. Marian was stricken with fear, mostly from its menacing appearance. "Lek hab," the robot scratched at its head, "Ich hab, nein nein, das ist nicht japanisch. Ein moment bitte." The robot paused letting Maria recollect herself. There was a button in front of her, next to the robot, perhaps she could lunge for it. Were she able to press it, the Sanzenin Special Forces would be there in a moment's notice.

She lunged.

Before she could blink, she was already caught in the robot's arms.

"No, no, no, little Maria, you're coming with us." It clasped a hand gently but more than firmly on her mouth, clamping it shut. "You see, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. And no, we've taken many precautions as to being found. Klaus and the Special Forces will only see static, a small technical difficulty that will never be debunked.

"But, don't worry, we'll treat you right." The robot smiled sinisterly and walked her out of the shed. Maria blinked to find herself encased in metal; the robot had taken her inside itself, like an exoskeleton.

"Up up and away! Now, my daughter," the robot was addressing another of its kind somewhere out of visible sight. "Initiate phase two!"

Maria was taken further and further away, past the clouds and into the stars, right with the robot until, to Nagi and Hayate below, she was one with them.

And Nagi, who was very unused to sleeping alone, slept alone, already asleep, afraid of the loud noise that shook the ground minutes before.

And such concludes chapter one of this story. I will update violently quick in the beginning, and slow by around chapter 3. This chapter was about 4.5 pages. The whole story is estimated (at present) to be more than 200. You can expect more than 20 chapters out of me easily.

Rest assured NagiXHayate fans, you'll get your fluff. And, I am working on a parallel story that is M rated so you perverts can have your way with the endless possibilities that this story ends up creating. (Contact me for more information.)

Until next time my friends!
