Author's Note: This is my second arc, Dance of the Cherry Blossom. Some new characters will make their appearance in this arc such as Subaru, Teana, Vivio, Amy, Arisa and Suzuka. For this arc, it will be focusing on Fate and Nanoha past which will have an important impact on their relationship but that will be in the later chapters. The first few chapters will be just on the new characters integrating into the story but Nanoha and Fate will still be the main focal point of the story. For those readers that have been following my previous story, this story is for you all.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters in MGL Nanoha except my character, Takeru and all the places I mentioned in this chapter.

PS: I take some of the names of the shops and the shopping centres from Singapore so you all may not hear of it.

Reply to BpHaru: Yeah, I agree that some parts of the story are a bit rush and I apologise for that. I will be writing more of dates between Nanoha and Fate in the first few chapters so as to strengthen their bonds with each other as their love for each other will be tested to the fullest in the later chapters. As for the beta-testers, why don't you be mine? XD

Reply to Syaroan Li Clow: Yup, their future is still shrouded with mystery and all I can say is that the dream is very very vital to the story. Continue to read on :) .

Reply to EanIL: Haha, Nanoha is sharp only on rare occasions but most of the time, she is dense as Yuuno can testify though that is her charm I guess? Continue to review xD.

Chapter 1

Fate POV

"Fate, wake up. You are going to be late for school. Come on, wake up you this lazy bone." I gave a low growl and pulled the blanket over me, hoping to block out the voice.

"Alright, since you won't wake up I shall do this. Here goes nothing." Suddenly I felt two hands grabbed my assets and squeezed them very hard.

My eyes flew open immediately and I sprang up with my face blushing madly with my hands protecting my chest. I narrowed my eyes at Nanoha who was knocked over by me and was lying on the floor rubbing her head. |

"NA-NO-HA!!! Give me a very good reason why I shouldn't kill you." Nanoha winked at me and said with a teasing look and her hands squeezing something in the air.

" Aww, Fate is bigger than me just like Hayate. Why god is unfair to such a cute girl like me. It is so not fair! Fate, I want you to exchange with me." Nanoha pouted,which I found it intensely cute, but I continued to look at her warily.

"You have not answer my question, Nanoha. Why do you do that? Can't you just shake me or even kick me?" She tilted her head to one side and started to twirl her fingers with her long hair. The blue orbs in her eyes snared me such that all my attention was given to her.

"That's because you don't want to wake up so it's not my fault. Beside, my method is effective anyway so you shouldn't complain." Nanoha gave me a peace sign but I'm not buying that. I glared at her then I realised that she was only wearing a translucent night-dress and that her lingeries were revealed indiscreetly.

I shifted away my gaze quickly with my face burning with embarrassment but a lot of images of Nanoha in seductive poses started to form in my mind. Then Nanoha suddenly leaned near me and this time, I could not avoid looking at her nearly bare body which instantly caused blood rushing into my brain.

" What's wrong Fate? Hey, why do you suddenly faint and your nose... Kyahhh, your nose is bleeding. Fate...." Oh god, why must she wears that type of dress? She is just so seductive........

" Urgh, what time is it? Nanoha?" I woke up groggily and when I lifted my head, a loud " THUD" sound was heard as Nanoha and my heads collided.

" Oww, my head hurts... Oh Fate, you are awake already. I'm so worried about you when you suddenly faint and have a nosebleed. Man, you really messed up my bed. Those blood stains are very hard to clear." She gave me a frown but her eyes told me that she was joking. I smiled at her and kissed her, eliciting a blush as she kissed me back.

We stayed in this position for a few minutes before I broke the kiss and changed into a sitting position. Then I noticed that she had changed her clothes and tied her hair into two pigtails. At least her clothes are decent now compared to her...nightdress. Hmm, she sure looks good in her white sleeveless shirt with a … MY SKIRT?

Nanoha must had noticed my stare on her skirt as she blushed and said shyly, " Sorry Fate but this skirt looks so cute that I have to try it on. Do I look good in it?" She stood up and in a ballet-dance style, she twirled around in front of me then she looked at me while waiting for my answer.

She looks so beautiful... I am so lucky to have her as my girlfriend. Sometime I wonder whether I deserve her or not... No, I should not think like that. Fate Testarossa Harlown, you should be more confident of yourself and furthermore, it is just yesterday that we become a couple. Yes, I can do it and speaking of Nanoha, she seems to look good in anything. I wonder why until now, no boy has ask her out.

" You look as beautiful as ever, Nanoha. I have never seen anybody that is as cute and beautiful as you or maybe you are wearing my skirt so you look so beautiful." I teased her which she stuck her tongue out at me and retorted, " Nonsense. I am a natural beauty, everyone says so. So there! Beside, you should be veeery luuucky to have me as your girlfriend, uh huh."

Both of us stared at each other for a long time before dissolving into giggles.

"HEY, WHAT ABOUT OUR SCHOOL?" I shouted when I looked at the clock and Nanoha gave me a mischievous smile which meant that she had already deal with the problem beforehand.

"Don't worry Fate. I've ask Yuuno to tell our teachers that we are sick and to excuse us from school though he seems quite unhappy about it. Anyway, let's go out for our first date to celebrate us being a couple." Nanoha said happily as though skipping school was a trivial matter to her but I had a problem with that.

"Nanoha, if my mum finds out that I play truancy I will be dead within seconds when I step into the house...." My words trailed off as I imagined all the tortures that awaited me when I reached home. If I'm lucky, she will not find out about this incident but there is still Chrono.... Sorry Chrono but for me, I have to do this...

" Fate, you look kind of scary. What's on your mind?" I grinned at Nanoha expression which she squinted her eyes, gave a small frown and her ears twitched.

"Nothing, let's go and prepare for our first date." Nanoha giggled and nodded her head happily then we stared at each other.

"Um Nanoha, will you mind leaving the room so that I can change my clothes. It is awkward to have you here..."

"But I don't mind at all. Anyway, we are a couple so why are you so shy about it? Besides both of us are girls so there's nothing much to see or don't tell me you are a boy?" She then gave a shocked look and started to edge nearer to the door.

"Just leave the room, Nanoha. Or else...." I threatened her with a glare but she suddenly launched into me and hugged me tightly.

"Or else what? You are so cute sometime that I just have to hug and cuddle you. Mmn, you are more suited for hugging than Vita."

"Nanoha... Wait a minute, you always hug Vita?" I asked her coldly and at the same time, a strange feeling was surging through my body which made me felt so …. so angry at her.

" Uh huh, she is nice to hug. Alright, I shall give you some privacy to protect your dignity. I shall go out now." When Nanoha released herself from me and was about to leave, I quickly gave her a peck on her mouth then I pushed a dazed Nanoha out of her room.

Somehow, I have a liking for kissing her but her lips are very soft.....

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

1 hour later

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"So where should we go now?Causeway point or shall we take a bite. I know some good restaurants here that provide a lot of yummy food." Nanoha bounced in front of me as she ticked off the names of those restaurants.

I shrugged my shoulder and gave a causal smile. " I leave it up to you as long as I'm with you. That's the most important thing." Nanoha frowned at my answer.

"Fate, this is our first date and I want to make it special for both of us. Don't be so indecisive ok? Beside, you are the one treating me so you better choose a good restaurant." I gave an incredulous look at Nanoha who in turn, gave me an innocent look which had no effect on me.

"Why should I be the one treating? Give me a good reason." I put my hands on my hip and asked her.

" Because you have a better figure than me and that's not fair so you should treat me. No objection accepted. Decision is FINAL!" She shouted loudly which caused a lot of people on the street to stare at us.

"Ok, you win not because of your argument regarding our figures but because if I continue to say no, I will die of embarrassment." I tried to avoid showing my reddened face as I said softly to Nanoha who looked satisfied and then, she looked at a restaurant. " Hey, let's eat there."

I looked at the restaurant she was pointing at and I almost laughed and cry at the same time. She actually choose that place for our first date?

"Nanoha, can I ask you a question?" " Yeah, what is it?"

"I remember you say that you want this date to be special? Why must of all the restaurants in this world, you must choose this one." I gestured wildly around me, hoping to get my message across her.

"Hey, McDonald is nice ok? Beside, it has been a long time before I've eaten fast food so it is special to me, nyahaha. Anyway Fate, say "ahh"" Nanoha grabbed a French fry and tried to feed me.

Nanoha has a strange notion on special but as long as she is happy, that's fine by me. Come to think of it, it has been a long time that I've eaten fast food so that means that this meal is special to me too according to Nanoha.

I opened my mouth obediently and allowed her to feed me without any protest so that I could continue to see the happy look on her face which was priceless to me. Some people gave us strange looks but I ignored them and I guessed that Nanoha did not even notice them since her eyes had been on me all the while.

"Fate, you has something on your face." When I was about to use my hand to rub it off, she suddenly leaned towards me and kissed that spot. I was stunned for a while and I felt that my face felt very hot all of a sudden.

"Mmm, taste like chilli sauce. Wow, Fate tastes yummy. Hey Fate, next time will you allow me to eat you? It won't hurt at all." I let out a gasp and my face started to burn as I took in her seemingly innocent question.

Oh god, does Nanoha knows what she is saying? Mum, Chrono, your dear daughter is going to be taken away by her girlfriend. Please forgive me....

"Fate...? Oh my god, Fate has fainted with a nosebleed again today but I have done nothing.."

"Urgh, where am I? Nanoha...?" I opened my eyes blearily and Nanoha's concerned face loomed in my vision.

"She seems alright. Man, there goes our first date. Ends in a fast food restaurant, what a joke." Nanoha gave a sigh and I touched her face gently. " I'm sorry Nanoha. I'm really really sorry about today's date. I will make it up for you tomorrow ok?"

"Um sis? I don't think dating with Nanoha is on top of your priority list as you see... Mum is blowing her top right now. You are considered very lucky if you can live till tomorrow." A boy with black hair replaced Nanoha in my vision and gave a grimace to me.

" Chrono? Wait a minute, why is Yuuno, Chrono, Hayate and Vita here? Don't tell me...."
Yuuno, Hayate and Vita laughed when I gave a groan and slapped my forehead in frustration which I winced in pain.. When I looked at Chrono and Nanoha, they nodded my head which my head then dropped lifelessly onto Nanoha's lap.

I just screwed up today's date with Nanoha and worse of all, this is our first date. So much for being special.I hope that Nanoha is not angry at me...

Looking at my downcast face, Nanoha held my hand and rubbed it against her face which somehow cheered me up. " Don't worry Fate. You've not mess up today date. In fact, you cause this date to be memorable to me so I suppose today date is not a failure. Thank you Fate."

I could not help but gave a smile when I heard those words from her as I knew that they were from the bottom of her heart. I then sighed and glared at the Chrono and the others who were giving mock love-sick faces to us.

"Ok then, I suppose we should head for home now. By the way Chrono, I want you to forget what you seen today and to pretend today is just a typical school day which I attend school as usual. Do you get it, my dear little brother?" I put my arm around him and whispered into his ear softly which his face became very pale of a sudden though I could swear it was not my fault.

"Alright, we are going to be sepearate here. Goodbye, everyone." A chorus of goodbyes followed Yuuno's words and Nanoha then gave me a look of longing. " Aww, I don't want you to leave my side. Take good care of yourself ok, Fate? I love you."

"Uh huh. I love you too Nanoha. Sorry about today's date. I promise that I will make up for you by at least ten fold tomorrow if I can still live." I then gave a kiss on her forehead and ran after Chrono who had actually left me behind.

"Fate, may I remind you that tomorrow is a school day? Don't tell me you are going to skip school again?" Chrono raised his eyebrow when he asked me which I grinned at him.

He rolled his eyes and gave a loud groan. " Why am I doing this... Anyway, congratulation. Nanoha and you are officially a couple now thanks to mum and me. How will you repay me?"

" I will repay you by doing this!" I hugged him tightly and shouted loudly, " I LOVE NANOHA!"

He then muttered, " Wow, luckily I recorded it in my handphone. Thanks for your declaration of love for Nanoha, big sister."
