By Nodoka
This is my first Negima so go easy on me guys. I just had a pipe dream to write this because I'm waiting for Hikari to show up! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, read Century Sleepover). In any case, since I can't continue at the moment, I'm just going to write this up while I have the time. Enjoy.

Everything had been as it should've. Ever since the girls of 3-A came back from the past and broke the contract between Asuna and the Devil, everything went back to normal quickly. As they had many questions for Negi-sensei, like his powers and stuff like that, things went back to normal after the next day. And surprisingly, even Asakura-san was very secretive about it, saying "she didn't want to have her precious teacher turned into an ermine. No story is worth that."
Asuna, out of all of them, was very, very confused at what happened, considering her entire past just changed with a blink of an eye. But, she got over it and eventually calmed down. For now anyway.
"Nodoka-san." Negi-sensei said calmly, waking the girl from her daze.
"Oh, sorry!" She answered, trying to cover up.
"Read page 67 please, Nodoka-san." Negi answered.
"O-Okay!" She replied nervously, standing up with the book in her hands. As she read, Negi reflected on everything that just happened.
Man, what's going to happen now? Negi asked himself. I've given a pactio to every single girl in the class, not to mention a ghost, a robot and a vampire. How that makes sense I'll never know…He looked up to see Nodoka still deep in reading the page as the others followed along in their books. And all these girls…they'd love to keep my secret, I'm sure. But things are gonna get a lot more complicated now.
"Negi-sensei…" Nodoka said while blushing, snapping her teacher out of his thoughts. "I'm done."
"Oh yes. Thank you, Nodoka-san." Negi-sensei replied. From there on, the lesson went smooth as ever, and the bell came sooner than young Negi thought.
"Well, I have to go to a meeting, class. So, see ya later!" The child teacher announced on his way out.
"See ya later, Negi-sensei!" The entire class chimed. As soon as he was out the door, the entire class huddled up into a circle.
"Alright, so, everyone know what's going on tonight right?" Ayaka asked.
"Yes, yes, we got it. Tonight we're all going to an all girls sleepover at your house. I don't think anyone in this class could possibly forget that," Asuna answered smugly.
"Alrighty then. Guess there's nothing to discuss, meeting adjourn—"
"Wait a second," Konoka interrupted. "What do we do about Negi-sensei?"
"What do you mean?" Nodoka asked shyly.
"Well, everyone knows that a boy can't come to an all girls sleepover."
"Okay, then what's the big deal?" Asuna asked.
"Isn't Negi-sensei afraid to sleep by himself in a big room?" Konoka inquired.
"Yeah? So? It's just one night, he'll be fine."
"Yeah…but you never know what could happen to him by himself…" Konoka replied.
"He's our teacher, and a mage for that matter, why would we need to worry about him?" Asuna answered coolly.
"He may be all those things, Asuna," Ayaka answered in a serious tone. "But he's still just 10."
"So?! He's faced demons, powerful mages, and giant dragons! You think staying in a room by himself for one night is going to kill him? C'mon, get real!"
"That is true, but he's still just 10! After all he has his own fears, right?" Ayaka asked. Asuna sighed and paced the room around each and every girl. Finally, she submitted and came back to the circle of discussing girls.
"Alright, so what do you suppose we do? Have someone stay behind and keep him company?" Asuna joked.
"That's a great idea!" Ayaka squealed. Everyone in the class (except for Asuna) beamed with excitement of having a job of staying behind with Negi. But then, some of them sighed, knowing the sleepover would be a one time thing, something not even Negi would get between. "I shall take the glorious honor of staying behind myse—"
"No." Asuna said simply, placing her palm in the middle of the blonde's hair.
"Why not!?"
"Well, for one. The sleepover's at YOUR house, stupid. I'm sure you wouldn't want us to wreck the place while you're here. And two, we don't trust you. Who knows what you could do to Negi-sensei while we're gone." Yue inquired, taking another sip from her apple juice box.
"Yue's got you pegged there, Iincho." Asuna added, smirking.
"Aww…" Ayaka sighed. "Well, who's it going to be then? How 'bout you Konoka?"
"No can do. If I don't go, that means Setsuna can't go, and that would be wrong to Setsuna," She answered happily.
"Makie?"
"Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss sliding down your banisters all night for the world!" She smiled, bouncing up and down.
"Mana?"
"Are you paying me?" She asked seriously.
"No."
"Then that's your answer."
Ayaka sighed. "Fumika and Fuka?"
"What now?" Fuka asked.
"We want you two to sleep with Negi-sensei."
"W-W-Whaaat!?" Both pink haired twins yelled, a hard blush shown across their faces.
"No no no, I'm not ready for this type of commitment!" Fuka yelled.
"I'm not a big girl yet!" Fumika screamed, running around the room with her sister behind.
"Wait, we're not talking about that kind of 'sleeping with him'!" Ayaka screamed, trying to calm the twins down. In the end, they ended up running out the door, screaming something about they weren't mature enough for it.
"Nice." Asakura laughed.
"What about you Asakura?"
"And miss the chance of getting some monstrously huge scoop at your house? No way!"
"Ku-Fei-san?"
"Sorry, but no."
"Kaede?"
"No can do."
"Haruna?"
"mmmm….nah. No thanks."
"Asuna?"
"Are you kidding me? I've see enough of that brat as it is. No thank you."
"Yuna?"
"Sorry, I wanted to practice at your house. Your auditorium is awesome…"
"Ako?"
"Don't wanna."
"Akira?"
"Nuh-uh."
"Will anyone do the job!?"
No one said a word. Everyone just looked at each other nervously, saying nothing. Finally, one brave girl stepped up.
"I-I will do it." Nodoka said. Haruna winked at Yue, who couldn't help to smile at her friend's bravery.
"Alright." Ayaka submitted, slamming a huge contract with over 50 pages on the table. "Sign the contract."
"Eh!?" The rest of the class screamed.
"This contract states all the stuff you cannot do to Negi-sensei. The punishment for breaching the contract is…well, let's just say you don't want to know." Ayaka answered. The shy girl gulped and signed her name on the bottom line.
"Alright, we're good to go!" Konoka squealed.
"We leave at 6:00 girls, so be at the train station by then!" Asuna yelled as she ran out the door to pack.
Meanwhile…
"So, you understand now, Negi-kun." Takamichi said.
"Yeah, I understand." The child teacher responded.
"Good. As long as you can be absolutely sure the girls will not say anything, you're free to go," Konoemon answered. "But man, that's one amazing story. Go in the past 10 years, making a pactio with all the girls in your class, and defeating the devil as well as getting rid of the curse on Asuna. It's amazing all that you did didn't mess up the timeline, let alone actually pass by the Magic Association. I was actually surprised myself after hearing that they'd let you off so easy."
"Yes. Such a story while still in training wouldn't usually go by the Magic Association so easily. You're a very lucky man, Negi-kun." Takamichi added. Negi smiled.
"Yeah, I guess I am. I only wonder how the rest of the year is going to go."
"I'm sure you'll be fine," Kamo answered. "After all, you've got 31 partners on your side. That's pretty good for a 10 year old." He snickered. It's also great for my wallet. 31 pactios total times 50,000 ermine dollars equals jackpot for Kamo! He greedily smiled and slipped back into his owner's pocket.
"Well, you're free to go Negi. Good luck," Konoemon said, turning around in his chair. Negi bowed and walked to the door. "Oh, and Negi."
The boy turned around and answered, "Yes, sensei?"
"Don't push yourself too hard."
"O-okay." And with that, he left.
"How did that story pass in the Magic Association anyway?" Takamichi asked.
"They figured that since it was to help humanity, it was okay."
"But wasn't it just Asuna-kun?"
"Yes, that is true. But it was considered something so unbelievable that punishing the boy for trying to save her would just be cruel. After all, all he did was go back in time, risk the entire space time continuum, reveal his secret to 31 girls, and fight hell itself to save her. You got to admit, he did a lot of risky things to save that girl."
"That is true, but when you say all those things together, it sounds really bad to me." Takamichi added with a hint of worry.
"Haha, I guess you're right. But that, the one reason they didn't revoke his powers completely was the fact that they think that boy will have a great future. After all, he is the Thousand Master's son."
"Hmm…I suppose you're right." Takamichi answered as he walked out of the room.
"Heh heh, my, what a boy indeed." The old man said to himself as he gazed out the window.
Back with Negi…
"Ehh!? You're all going out for a girl's sleepover tonight?" Negi said, dazed.
"Yeah, it's going to be really fun! It's a shame you can't come, Negi-kun." Konoka said, packing her pajamas in a suitcase.
"But why can't I?" Negi pleaded.
"It's an all girls sleepover, Negi-bouzu. Meaning no boys." Asuna answered as she packed another pair of clothing.
"But this is an all girls school and I'm here."
"That is a good point, but you're a teacher. There are other male teachers here as well, so the answer is no." Asuna responded as she closed her suitcase. "Well, that's it for me. Ready Konoka?"
"Yep!" The brown-haired girl answered as she closed her suitcase.
"Well, I guess it can't be helped. But it's gonna be real quiet tonight." Negi sighed.
"Oh don't worry. Someone volunteered to stay behind and keep you company," Konoka said, causing Negi to perk up a little.
"Huh? Who is it?"
"You'll find out when she gets here." Asuna teased as she winked at him.
"Aww…Asuna-san, you're so cruel." Negi whined.
"Yes. Yes I am. We'll see you sometime tomorrow, Negi!" She waved as she closed the door, leaving poor Negi behind.
Meanwhile…
"I can't believe you actually volunteered! I'm so proud of you!" Haruna yelled happily at her shy friend.
"I-I-I…Thanks?" Nodoka responded nervously.
"Well, you've got the whole night with Negi-sensei, Nodoka. Do your best." Yue told her as she finished packing.
"Y-Yeah…" Nodoka said. The whole night with Negi-sensei…She thought.
"Well, we're going to go to the train station early, I suggest you get to his room early too. You know, so you can ease into the moment." Haruna teased mischievously.
"Wh-wh-what?!" Nodoka yelled nervously.
"She's right, Nodoka. If you go too late, you'll lose your opportunity. He might even be sleep when you get there. Try getting there early so you can just talk, that way it won't be so awkward later on." Yue added.
"Oh…okay."
"Good, well, we're off! Good luck Nodoka!" Haruna said as she left the room. Just as Yue was leaving, she gave her friend a stern, trusting look to signal exactly what she wanted to say. Then, without a word, she was gone.
"Ah…What do I do now?" Nodoka asked herself. She looked at her 3 most private possessions on her dresser. Her 3 books that she made extra care to take care of. One, her card that transformed into her mind reading book, a talent that came in handy on pretty much all occasions. Then, there was her diary, which she started writing about a month ago just to get her thoughts out. And then, there was her own creation, a book she started writing not so long ago. A book she'd probably be ashamed to ever let out, a very perverted love story.
She blushed, remembering all the things that just came to her by accident. She'd one day decided to write them down to try and at least release them, but the thoughts only ended up getting worse and more developed. If anyone discovered those thoughts, of course her "bookstore" lifestyle would become a whole 'nother deal. Sighing, she decided to take all three of them with her. She might get some free time anyway, so it was okay to have them just in case.
After quickly changing her clothes and grabbing her books, she quickly scurried off to her teacher's room.
