Disclaimer: I do not own Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

Okay, this is that NanohaxFate piece I said I would write, much earlier than I implied it would be, except for one thing. I decided to make this a full chaptered story instead of a oneshot, which is understandable considering that it would require way too much writing to fit it all in a oneshot. Especially considering that I don't know how long this will be yet.

First off, I believe some introduction to the setting is in order. You see, this is one of those High School AUs, so you might want to leave now if you don't like them. Since I didn't want to include the Forwards in this, I am forced to use OCs instead, if you don't like that, I am sorry.

Without further ado, enjoy.

"Waaaaah! Look out!"

"Ow!"

It all began with a chance encounter, between one person that was lost in her thoughts and not looking, and another moving so fast that she couldn't see what was in her way.

"Oh, sorry there, I wasn't looking."

"No, it's my problem, I should have been more careful."

Yet, without the two being as distracted as they were, the events to come would never have happened.

"Oh, don't be silly, it was my fault. Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Fate Testarossa. Who are you?"

Yes, it was an accidental collision between Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa that started it all. The story truly begins after the two have crashed, and after Fate had just introduced herself. In other words, right where the above dialogue left off.

"Me? I'm Fate Testarossa. Who are you?"

Fate introduced herself to the brown-haired girl that had just crashed into her, although she was wondering why the stranger hadn't bothered to introduce herself first. After stopping to think for a moment, the stranger began to talk.

"I'm Na-"

Before this mysterious person could introduce herself, however, someone interrupted her. Specifically, a blue-haired girl had called over from down the hall.

"Hey there! Aren't you coming?"

"Yeah, yeah, just wait a bit!"

Sighing, Nanoha stood up and turned to Fate, and quickly apologized before running off, leaving Fate wondering what the heck was going on exactly. Shrugging it off, Fate stood up and was about to walk away when her friend Shya stopped her.

"Wow, was that just Nanoha Takamachi, surprise to see her here, in my opinion. Anyways, Fate, wanna head to History together?"

"Sure, I don't mind. Say, who did you say that was?"

Sighing, Shya, pushing her green hair behind her ear, which pretty much everyone that knew her knew that signaled that she was enthralled at the other person's lack of knowledge. Pulling out a short book from inside her uniform, she opened her mouth before Fate stopped her.

"Wait, can you just give me the short version?"

Looking disappointed, Shya pouted for a second before putting on the same energetic look she had before Fate stopped her, and continued.

"Fine," She started, putting away the short book that she had pulled out. "That was Nanoha Takamachi. I'm surprised you don't know her."

"Well, excuse me for not aiming to be a reporter like you."

Although she wasn't usually as emotional as that, Fate felt that since her friend was so energetic, she should be as well.

"Are you kidding me? She's, like, the most popular kid in school. From my intel, I've gathered the fact that the boys all think she's attractive beyond belief, and all the girls just seem to flock to her, noticing all the attention she gets, not to mention how intelligent she is. General consensus seems to say that she's pretty rich, but that hasn't been confirmed yet."

"Really? Oh well, guess we should start heading to class now, the bell's about to ring."

In history class, the teacher started talking about how America was formed, which Fate thought was especially weird, considering that yesterday they were talking about how Japan was formed. It seemed that he felt a need to go over everything they had in their first year of high school. Hopefully, he would let them actually learn something in their second year, but... things weren't looking too good. Not that it mattered that much, anyways. If they just spent the entire time reviewing, then things wouldn't be too hard. Better than the Algebra Honors class, which, coincidentally, was up next.

In this class, tests were given frequently. And on extremely random things.. For example, today's test had been on equations that were so long, they took 20 lines just to get to the = sign. Keep in mind that the lines are as long as a magazine, sideways. Yesterdays was on uses of the Pythagorean theorem, while using it on triangles whose measurements were so strange, that it wouldn't be uncommon for an answer to be at least 50 digits long. That was when most students just put down random numbers so that they didn't have to calculate that long. Fate was one of the few that actually put down all 50 numbers.

Anyways, the school day progressed as it did the other days, and as Fate was walking home a hand stuck out of the bushes and pulled her in, just when she was in a spot nobody else would see this happening. By the time Fate had registered what had happened, she looked up and saw that the one that had pulled her in was Nanoha, and that the surrounding area was surprisingly spacious. Seeing the questioning look on Fate's face, Nanoha seemed to read her mind and answer the question that would be on everybody's mind.

"Oh, sorry about that Fate, I wanted to talk to you privately, but that's really hard to do when you have so many groupies following you. I swear, they're crazy! It's so hard to lose them before getting back home."

"I... See. So what did you want to talk to me about?" Fate responded, clearly wondering what the heck was happening.

"Nothing, I just wanted to apologize for crashing into you earlier. I'm Nanoha Takamachi, by the way."

"What do you mean? As I said, it was my fault."

"Well, either way, I just wanted to apologize. Say, I am curious though, you didn't know who I was. Can I see your schedule? I wanna know why."

"Sure." Fate responded, not knowing what to say to someone after they apologize once they pull you into a bush to have a private conversation. Nanoha's following comment knocked her out of her tranced state.

"Wow, we have a good number of classes together. Strange we didn't meet each other before, huh?" Nanoha remarked, circling all the classes they shared before handing the schedule back to Fate.

"Well, I prefer to stay out of the attention, so I probably just ignored it when everyone grouped together."

"True, you seem like that. Well, anyways, guess I've gotta go."

As Nanoha ran off, Fate glanced down at the schedule and saw that Nanoha was putting things a bit lightly, out of 5 periods a day with 2 unique ones besides those, they shared all but 5 classes. One normal class, and 4 unique ones. Deciding to think about it later, Fate decided to go and remind her mom to make a lunch tomorrow, for the Physics field trip, which coincidentally was one of the classes she shared. Not that she expected to see the girl on it, considering that she apparently had a large fanbase, Fate started walking home, wondering what exactly that brown-haired girl she had met today was up to.

That's it for now, please tell me what you think and what I should work on in a review. Thank you.
