Hi Everyone! So this is a fanfiction of Strawberry Panic! (obviously) on Tamao and Chikaru! So I just finished watching the anime, and I loved every moment of it except for the end. I have nothing on Nagisa x Shizuma, but WHAT ABOUT TAMAO-CHAN?! Lol you could say that I was one of the butt-hurt guys. But Tamao was my favorite character, so what can I do? Well, write a fanfic to start...

So yeah, I would've like it for Tamao to have someone...

Anyways, enjoy and review plz!

She knew it was going to happen. The way she danced with Nagisa. The way she was holding herself back. It was so obvious.

Dancing with Nagisa was so amazing. She enjoyed every moment of it. At the same time, she hated it because Nagisa never really felt anything back.

So of course Tamao would push her. It was the right thing to do. What kind of friend would hold their best friend from happiness?

Still, the curiosity was still there.

What if she held her back? What if she said to Shizuma that Nagisa was hers? What if…?

Images of the day flashed through Tamao's mind as she stared blankly into space sitting of her bed. The bed across from her was unoccupied, as the person who slept there, was with her lover. A tear slowly flowed down her cheek, but her hand immediately wiped it away. She clenched her teeth and her hand clawed her blanket.

She told herself she wouldn't cry.

But it was so hard not to. The fact that someone you love was taken away from you and the fact you could have done something to stop it hurt her so much. It was literally watching her souls being taken away from her.

Did she really do the right thing? No one else but Nagisa, Shizuma, Miyuki and her knew that the former Etoile was in love and tried to hold it back. So, why did she let her go?

Nagisa…the way she danced with her made her feel so relieved.

Holding back with all her strength, she plopped on her bed, not even pulling up her blanket, and mentally cried herself to sleep.


Chikaru knew what had happened. If she didn't, then how would she be the one that comforted the girls when they needed help.

Nagisa, Tamao, whoever, she would help. It wasn't like she signed up to be the one. Her personality would not allow someone who is suffering to suffer anymore.

It was strange how people looked at you like that. Immediately, she was respected from many of the girls.

The Etoile selection…wow…

Needless to say, she didn't expect that to happen. Everyone didn't.

Watching Shizuma run away with Nagisa, she heard something behind. She heard a "congratulations". Mentally, she knew who that person was. She just needed to find out if those words were sincere.

The Lulim president sat in her dorm, pondering. When she thought about it, she didn't know much about Tamao-chan. Sure, she was friends with Nagisa, and was seconds away from being the next Etoile, but besides that, she was just another friendly, intelligent girl at this school.

That's why no one paid attention to her when Nagisa got taken. All of the attention fell on the red-haired girl.

Chikaru saw something in Tamao-chan though. Something that was hidden under her thin smile and beautiful face.

A hand flew to her mouth as she started to giggle. Tamao-chan was underrated in terms of how pretty she was. Maybe because she was overshadowed by the people she was with. Shizuma was just pure beautiful. Nagisa was the definition of cute. Miyuki had a commanding atmosphere that almost attracted people.

It was understandable why Tamao-chan faded in the background.

Chikaru stood up and groaned. "Thinking can really hurt the head" she muttered to herself. "I'm going to make something to eat." She exited the room on that happy thought.
