Working off writers block while I come up with more ideas for my other fics

This is inspired by Shaun Garin's it could always be worse role reversals fic… but in my own way.

I do not own Negima or Nanoha

Chapter 1: the reason Nano/Fate is canon in fan fiction.

Nanoha Takamachi was a normal 9 year old girl in elementary school, a line heard throughout time and space… a different name and age in every repetition of the phrase… yet throughout time and space you knew every time you saw that phrase things would not stay that way for long… this is the day that Nanoha Takamachi's life took a turn for the amazing.

Unaware of this fact Nanoha Takamachi woke up that morning at the same time she usually did, ate breakfast in a leisurely matter all while admiring the saccharine peace of her completely normal life… yet longed for something she didn't have.

"Nanoha there's a package for you from your pen pal from whales" Nanoha's older brother Kyoya exclaimed from the living room, holding a large box in his hands marked fragile as well as a smaller box with holes in it. There it was… at least that was what she thought at the time.

Nanoha raced over to the living room and exclaiming in joy as she first opened the holed box, revealing a pure white rodent with a small note under it, taking it out from under the rodent Nanoha read "take good care of him, his name is Albert Chamonile (or Chamo for short) he loves to cuddle with people… maybe your sister would like him" Nanoha looked at the little ferret and called her older sister Miyuki over.

The poor thing was strangled in a marshmallow hell once her mother got a hold of him.

Opening the larger box, Nanoha found that it was full of various knick knacks and junk from whales including but not limited to, English tea packets (her mother liked them) a plush toy in the shape of a dragon (Miyuki said she wanted it) a sealed letter addressed to her brother and father (she didn't know what it was about but she wasn't going to ask), and set of custom tarot cards that her pen pal said that he would get her in his last letter, with another note attached to the back which read "to Nanoha, these cards are used to predict possible future events, don't rely on them too heavily. They might have an answer to your future problems but always remember that real magic is hard work… and that magic can make these cards predict any future you may choose to follow" Nanoha re-read the letter a few more times before turning the note on the back "p.s. don't go to the fridge any time soon" putting the cards into her bag Nanoha walked out of her house to the bus stop around the corner from her house.

The bus arrived two minutes later than she expected.

Walking over to the bus stop Nanoha saw a peculiar sight, a white haired boy wearing a grey jacket and pants, looking in her direction, looking around Nanoha saw almost no one in her general vicinity and looked back to the boy, finding that he was now right in front of her and seemed to be much too close for her own comfort, 'WHO-?" Nanoha began her frantic rave of questions before getting a look at the boy's smoky grey eyes and instantly getting lost in them from the depth of them, un-able to decide if he was either staring into her soul or if she was staring into his.

"You have such strange eyes" the boy said, looking at her with the same cold stare as before "so nostalgic… these eyes; they remind me of someone I once knew" walking away from Nanoha the boy reached the other side of the street before the bus arrived, obscuring her view of him. Looking around the bus Nanoha found that the boy had disappeared.

On the bus Nanoha found her two best friends Arisa Bannings and Suzuka Tsukimura sitting in the back of the bus and proceeded to talk about pointless subjects that she only half cared about, all while thinking about the white haired boy and his remark about her eyes "he had such beautiful eyes… why was he commenting on my violet eyes… his eyes were much more appealing" Nanoha thought as Suzuka and Arisa turned their attention to her.

"Hey Nanoha you seem out of it are you okay…" Arisa asked being the first to notice Nanoha's strange behavior.

Nanoha snapped out of the strange reminiscence session long enough to hear Suzuka's question of "hey Nanoha did you receive those Tarot cards you asked for yet?"

"Oh yeah… yes they came in the mail today" Nanoha responded taking the not yet opened set of cards from her backpack and quickly taking them out.

"Only 6 cards… that's a bit limited" Arisa commented grabbing the deck "although the pictures look nice" the pictures in question were in fact very nice, the first being a picture of an armored knight donning thin silver colored armor and wielding a basic foot soldier sword and a kite shield in a ready position, the second was an angel adorning a pure white dress and posing, the third was a picture of a nasty looking black werewolf striking at something unseen by the holder of the card, the fourth card had Suzuka in a slumped posture with her looking at a large book in her hands; yet not reading it, fifth was Nanoha with her arms in an interesting martial arts pose, almost as if she was supposed to have swords in her hands, finally the last was Arisa dressed in a black jacket and jeans, looking at the viewer with a confident smirk.

"You know Arisa you look good in those clothes" both Nanoha and Suzuka commented at the same time "although I don't know why my picture looks like that" Nanoha said after a few seconds of looking at her own card.

"It could be that the artist thought you were like that because your family teaches sword arts" Suzuka supplied, taking a better look at the Nanoha card. "I mean you never gave your personality to the artist, only a picture"

"I guess you're right"

"I know I'm right"

"How?"

"Women's intuition"

Both Nanoha and Arisa stared at the purple haired girl for a few seconds before shrugging and dropping the matter altogether.

The boy from earlier looked at the bus with interest "that girl… those eyes… could it be a coincidence… or…" the boy's eyes narrowed "it appears that I've finally found you… master" the boy disappeared in a blur of movement; following the bus to Uminari elementary school.

Nanoha's life was about to be turned upside down… by nothing other than her own destiny… her own fate…

And the lyrics of love start playing a gentle tune
