"Love or Hate?"
Lyrical High School… A well known all-girl school for talented and gifted girls… Not only known for its smart students, but also to its very competitive clubs in different aspects especially sports.
The pride of this school prestigious school is its tennis club. Not only have they competed to interschool competitions but also fought their way to the nationals. And right now, the aces of the said club were having a practice match which is always a must-see event for almost all the students.
The crowd squealed when a blond paired with her purple-haired partner entered the very luxurious court with high-class facilities to make sure that the players will get the best treatment whenever they train there. There, the blond went to their assigned bench while the other one walked towards a certain brunette.
"Good afternoon, Hayate-chan," the purple-haired girl said to her friend. "…having a great day today?"
"Good afternoon to you too, Suzuka-chan," the brunette said as she looked down at the girl from her current seat while giving her a beaming smile. "… and yes, I am having a great day today."
"You don't need to ask her that Suzuka…" the blond intervened as she walked towards their direction. "Judging from the camera that she's holding right now, and I'm pretty sure that it is full of girls with indecent stolen shots, there's no doubt that she's really having a great day."
"Good day to you too, Arisa-chan… lively as ever…" the brunette said then pouted. "Mou… You make it sound so wrong… I call this art and passion, you know… Girls' features should be treasured so I cherish and kept them using my precious camera…" she then clasped her hands as if she's praying… " I want to thank the heaven above for letting this wonderful device be invented."
"And~~ here comes the twisted philosophy of the Great Hayate Yagami…" Arisa retorted that made the other girl pout even more… "Your ideas always has something to do with perverted stuff… you're like some dirty old man with your so called passion and hobby,,."
"Hey! How rude Arisa-chan! The girls don't even complain with the things I do… And FYI, it is art and passion…" The girl jumped from her position but the blond just went to her bench again.. "Hey! Get back here! Listen to me, will ya!"
"Oh please… They don't complain 'cause they were easily deceived by your angelic, innocent face as if you can't even hurt a fly or something,,," the blond replied not even looking at the other girl as she fixed her racket. "You're also popular that's why they can't resist your actions… Poor innocent lambs…they don't even know that they were about to be eaten by some nympho wolf…"
"Hey! I'm not like that..! Stupid Arisa!" Hayate was about to smack Arisa in the back of her head but she was easily dodged by the blond. "But I'll take the angelic, innocent face, though."
"Yeah, yeah… I'll stop when you quit your perversion, Hayate…"
The girls around the fence just kept squealing as they watched the two exchange teases and retorts which they really find very amusing… Suzuka, who was also watching as her friends make a scene, finally spoke again. "Speaking of popularity, where are those two anyway?"
The two didn't respond but their attention was caught when suddenly….
"Kyaahh!"
"Stunning as ever, Nanoha-sama!"
"Good day, Nanoha-sempai!"
The court was filled with squeals and cheers when a brunette entered the court wearing a pink mini-skirt paired with white sleeveless that hugged her well-toned figure… She even added a white wrist band in her right wrist and a pink visor. She was already holding her white racket and a pair of tennis shoes that completed her sportswear.
"Speaking of the devil…" The blond said as tapped her racket over her right shoulder. "What took you so long, slowpoke..?"
The girl stopped and took a glance at her screaming fans. "Good afternoon, everyone!" She waved her hand and gave them her best beaming smile that swooned the crowd and waved their banners with 'We love you Nanoha-hime' written on it.
Then, she walked towards her friends. "Hey guys…"
"Good afternoon, Nanoha-chan…" said Suzuka with her very soft facial expression.
"Hey, Nanoha-chan!" said Hayate while she cheerfully waved her hand at her. "You really have so many fans waiting just for you…"
"Nyahaha… Hayate-chan, they just like watching tennis games that's why they're here." Nanoha said as she rubbed the back of her head because of embarrassment.
"Ho-ho-ho~~… You're way too humble Nanoha-hime…" said the shorter brunette with teasing tone as she took some pictures of Nanoha using her camera from different angles. "If it's just for the amusement…" She stopped for a while and pointed a finger in the fans' direction. "…then why do they even bother making those banners?"
"Nya-ha-ha…" was the only response of Nanoha with a slight blush on her face as she posed for her friend who started taking some snap shots again..
"Yo! Slowpoke…" said Arisa as she placed her right hand on her right hip while tapping her left foot. "Like I said, what took you so long? I thought we're having a practice match today."
"Enthusiastic as always, Arisa-chan~~~…" replied the brunette and just giggled in her friend's words since she's already used to it. "Ahh.. gomen, gomen… I just finished some school work that's why I was late…"
"Okay… I'll let you go this time but- where's your stupid partner?" the blond said with a very irritated tone which was just ignored by her friends, given that she's always like that. "You do know that this will be a doubles match and not a 2 on 1 match..."
Just before Nanoha can give her reply….
"Kyaahh!"
"She's here, she's here! OMG!"
"Stunning as always, sempai!"
"Good day to you, Fate-sempai!"
"Cool as always, Fate-sama!"
The students went havoc when a blond entered the premises. She's wearing a black tennis skirt and black tennis tank which was covered by a black hoodie. She carries a tennis bag and holds a black racket in her left hand .Her silky blond hair waves wonderfully as she walked towards the bench. She also wears a white visor and pair of tennis shoes. The blond stopped for a while to glance at the screaming girls for a second but she didn't show any smile. Instead, she just looked at them with cool demeanor then continued to walk.
A/N: I know, I know.. Too much black but hey,,, that's Fate-chan for you… XD And if you're worried that the girls will get mad at her because of her aloofness… well don't… because… *smirk*
"Kyaahhh! Sempai, look this way too!" a girl said with too much excitement.
"Sempai's cool eyes… Sempai's sexy burgundy ahhh—"another girl said then fainted.
"Fate-sama is so cool!" said by another girl with a giddy tone.
"We love you, Fate-sempai!" said by a group of girls as they wave their banner with 'We love you forever, Fate-sama' in it.
The screams became louder but it was just ignored by the blond as she continued her preparation. The four girls were quite shocked with the fans' commotion.
"And… Speaking of the other devil." the shorter blond said as she rolled her eyes and point a thumb at Nanoha who is currently at the back with the photo session. "Stupid Nanoha here is late because of some stupid school work so what's the reason of the ever cool Fate for being late?"
"Hey! I'm not stupid!" the brunette said then pouted. "My excuse is very reasonable, Arisa-chan."
"I just visited some of the sports club especially the track and field." The blond said with a very calm tone ignoring Nanoha as well as Arisa's tone since she's already used to the blond already. "They said that they want to discuss something so I complied since I'm also a member too even though it's just temporary whenever they need additional players."
"An academic freak and a sports freak," Arisa retorted with crossed arms. "But still, both of you made us wait so better get your butts in the court already and let's start this practice match!"
" I see- you still like wearing your very feminine sportswear… Takamachi-san..," Fate said as she took a glance at the brunette.
"Rebellious as ever with your gothic clothes… Testarossa-san." Nanoha said as carried her racket and walked towards their assigned court,
The blond followed the shorter girl but stood in the front row of the court, "I'd rather choose simple colors than your rainbow-colored choice of colors."
The students outside the court noticed the two aces' exchange of retorts so they gave their all out support to their respective idols.
"Don't worry Fate-sempai… Black really suits you the best than those random colors!"
"Hey! Don't call Nanoha-sempai's choice of clothes as random!"
"Well, it's really random than Fate-sama who looks really cool in her sportswear!"
"Yeah, yeah! It really fits this afternoon to wear that gothic-like sportswear!"
The two factions continued their exchange of retorts as they tried to defend their beloved sempais while the three girls were just standing as they watched the ruckus that was happening because of their two friends' presence.
"Those two never cease to amaze me because of their influence with the students," said the purple-haired while she calmly gazed at the situation that they were into. "One moment, the court is quite silent but then, a crazy tantrum started when Nanoha-chan and Fate-chan enter the premises."
"Well, it's already a given since they're really popular, y'know. Not to mention, they are the number one pair in this prestigious school…" the shorter brunette said as she snapped some pictures of the fans and the pair. "And also with their respective reputation."
"Yeah, yeah… Nanoha is known for being one of the top students but people love her most because of her cheerful and friendly personality. Moreover, they really find her very adorable especially when she smiles." Arisa said with a matter-a-fact tone. "The other one is one of the top students too but she's more famous because of her athleticism, especially on track and field. Even though she has this aloof personality, the students find it cool and really admire her a lot."
"Well, don't forget the Nya-ha-ha" said the brunette as she tried imitating Nanoha's laugh "And as for the other one, it's not like she's really that cold especially when it's just the five of us."
"You're right about that, Hayate…" Suzuka said and sighed. "It's because of that misunderstanding during the first day of school that's why she was forced to act like that."
"Well, whatever… Let's go Suzuka… We'll gonna beat the hell out of them this time!" Arisa said with burning passion as she walked towards the back row of the other court. Then, she stopped again and pointed a finger at Hayate. "And you! Stop with those perverted snapshots and do your job already… I swear… I can't believe that the manager of this club is some dirty old man who likes taking pictures…"
"Hey! I'm not some dirty old man! I'm a delicate girl who happens to have a sense of art and passion unlike you!" The brunette stopped from taking pictures and went back to her previous seat as an umpire. "Stupid, stupid Arisa-chan!"
"Mah— Mah— Calm down you guys... Arisa-chan, stop teasing Hayate-chan already." said Suzuka who just smiled at her two friends and followed the blond but positioned herself in the front court.
Meanwhile, their opponents where just waiting for them very calmly while checking their racket but didn't even bothered talking to each other.
Hayate blew her whistle giving the signal that the game is about to start.
"Don't show off with your clumsiness, Takamachi-san."
"Right back at 'ya, blondie…"
"Hey Suzuka… Remember… We're gonna beat those blasted late comers with our oozing power that can even beat the strongest monster that ever live in the world of darkness!" said the shorter blond while raising her racket up in the air.
The girl sighed after hearing her friend's outrageous declaration. "I know Arisa-chan, but still… we're going to do our best and defeat them normally." She rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Arisa-chan, you're playing too much video games again in your home, weren't you?"
The blond didn't respond that made the other girl confirmed her suspicions since she knew well enough that her family's company is well known for their video games that are really popular and saleable in every market.
The match started when Nanoha, the first player who will serve, smashed the ball with full force while aiming her desired target which was at the closest corner of the court line. It was returned by Arisa but with slight difficulty since the brunette is well-known for her long-range ability and accuracy. There was this one time when the archery club asked her to join them but she politely rejected it because of academic activities and tennis club. Despite her rejection, the said club didn't show any sign of disappointment but instead, they became her fans because of her charm and warm personality.
The ball was about to hit the opposite court but Fate was immediately in position to hit the ball back to their opponents' court. The ball hit the floor without giving the other pair a chance to counteract, giving their team the first point. Unlike Nanoha, Fate was renowned for her speed that's why even the track team pleaded to help their team whenever there's a competition. Even the other clubs asked for her help which were not rejected by the said blond. But still, she clarified that her first priority is the tennis club.
The match continued with lots of adrenaline rush, actions and screams coming from the fans who cheered for their favored pairs. Hayate, on the other hand, did her job as an umpire but still took a chance on getting pictures of the screaming fans. Most importantly, she took pictures of her friends whenever they're in action since it's her only opportunity to get some images with lots and lots of panty shots of her friends without any complain. The audience, nor the players who were focused in the game, didn't notice the perverted smile on her face as she snapped some pictures. Another thing that they missed was her idiotic laugh as if she's in her own fantasy world and the blood that was coming out of her nose.
The match ended in favor of Takamachi-Testarossa pair with a final set of 3-6.
A/N: Hey! Don't blame me if the match was not that detailed since I haven't played tennis. My brain's gonna overheat for too much information if I even dare to think the proper terms and rules… I prefer the 'let's get this on already, leave the rules and manuals for later' idea so forgive me, okay… By the way, I just made that idea so you can just ignore it. \/(^_-)\/
The players walked towards their respective benches.
"Good work, Takamachi-san. You didn't mess up or trip even once this time…" the blond said as she placed her racket in her tennis bag. "Please continue that so that I won't have any problem of getting embarrassed since we played as pairs."
Nanoha gave her a sickenly sweet smile while tidying up her things. "Why thank you, Testarossa-san… Same goes for you… You didn't hit the poles or walls because of your uncontrollable speed and make me embarrassed in front of everyone."
The blond just ignored the girl and walked towards their club room without even saying her goodbye to her partner and the other girls as well.
"Kyaahhh!"
"Fate-sempai is so cool!"
"Nice game, Fate-sama!"
Her fans continued cheering for her as she makes her way outside the court. After the blond left, her partner just went to her other friends who were at the other bench.
"Che! We lost again…" said Arisa with an irritated voice.
"Arisa-chan, we lost in a fair and square game so please try to learn accepting your defeat." said Suzuka as she took a sip from her bottle full of water. "Besides, they are the ace of the aces because of their perfect combination."
"Mou- fine…" The blond composed herself but started her tantrum again when she noticed that her other friends were having some kind of photo shoot. She pointed at the brunette who was currently holding a camera and kept taking some sexy pictures. "Hey, you! Stop your stupid hobby already!"
Then, she pointed at the other brunette who kept posing for Hayate. "And you! Stop indulging her perverted ideas! Geez!"
"Nyahaha-"The taller brunette stopped from posing and picked up her things.
"Mou! Arisa-chan is such a spoilsport…" The girl stopped from taking pictures and crossed her arms because of her friend's complaint.
"Mah- Mah- Arisa-chan, you don't need to shout all the time." The purple-haired girl said calmly then turned to Hayate. "And Hayate-chan, please don't overdo it, okay?"
The shorter brunette pouted then sighed. "Fine- I'll stop for now." Then, she looked at Arisa with a teasing smile.
"Wh-what is it now, Hayate? Gonna try to smack me again?" said Arisa with a nervous look on her face because she's fully aware that Hayate is always up to something again with her unpredictable ideas.
"Nothing, nothing…" The shorter brunette walked without even looking at Arisa then stopped to turn facing her again. "Arisa-chan is really lucky that her beloved Suzuka-chan is always there to stop her endless tantrum."
The blond was speechless because of Hayate's out of the blue statement while her partner just giggled because of Hayate's tease. The said brunette on the other hand, gave her a victorious smile since she finally got her revenge from Arisa from stopping her so called art and passion.
"B-be-beloved?"Arisa blushed but tried to compose herself immediately. The embarrassment that she just showed for few seconds turned in a dark feeling that emits I-will-definitely-kill-you-for-this aura. "Ha-ya-te!"
The brunette just ignored her friend's threat. Instead, she stuck out her tongue to tease her friend even more then ran away from the said blond.
"Damn you, Hayate! Get back here right now!" Arisa chased after Hayate and they ran around the court leaving the purple-haired girl and the other brunette near the bench.
Suzuka sighed because of her two friends' childish acts but didn't think much about it because of her very composed nature.
"Ne, Suzuka-chan…? I'll go ahead first..."
"Can't wait to see that person again?" Suzuka giggled for she already knew the reason why her friend is in such a hurry.
"Nyahaha- well- yeah…" said the brunette who blushed and scratched her right cheek as she walked towards their club room. "See you later, guys…"
"Go~~ I know that you wanted to spend some lovey-dovey moment." The purple-haired girl waved her hand at her friend. "And don't worry… I'll handle those two so enjoy your time with your special someone."
"Uhnn! Thank you, Suzuka-chan." The girl ran away but still gave her fan some attention by waving and smiling at them..
The purple-haired girl sighed. "I hope that everything will go back to normal again with those two."
Nanoha arrived in their club room and opened the door. She looked around but saw no one so she decided to enter the room. She was about to open her locker but someone hugged her from behind that surprised her
"Gotcha~~…" said by the person slowly but filled with love and longing as the said person hugged the brunette.
"And I missed you too…" replied by the brunette with a gentle and loving voice.
Without even looking, Nanoha smiled and closed her eyes as she leaned on the person's embrace. She made herself comfortable in the embrace as she cherished the moment she spent with her love one.

In the living room…
Nanoha: … *Sighs*
Fate: What is it, Nanoha?
Nanoha: I'm just worried, Fate-chan. *Sighs*
Fate: For what? (Looks at Nanoha with worried face)
Nanoha: For Author-chan… (Looks at Fate)
Fate: Eh? (Blinks with confused look on her face) Why is it, Nanoha?
Nanoha: Fate-chan… Author-chan… Author-chan is… writing another story… (With very worried expression)
Fate: Eh? Nanoha? What's wrong about that?
Nanoha: (Holds Fate's shoulders) Fate-chan…! Can't you see the problem? She's making another story again- without finishing her first story!
Author: (Enters the room) I heard that! *Sighs* Mou- Can't Nanoha trust me with my stories?
Nanoha: No~~~ (Said with a matter-a-fact tone)
Author: (Lowers head) Ugghh.. Figured… (Looks to the left) Mou- Cut me some slack… I just wanna make this for Christmas too.
Fate: (Holds Nanoha's shoulders) Nanoha… relax~~~… Author-chan knows what she's doing… (Looks at Author-chan with suspicious look) Err... I think…
Author: (With shocked look) F-F-Fate-chan… hearing that from you? (Runs away dramatically) Faaaaate-chan you meeeeaniiie!
Fate: Ahhhh- Author-chan… I didn't mean to say it that way…
Narrator: Now that the Author-chan left again, what will happen to her new story? Will it be left hanging again because of the author's unpredictable personality? Let's find out on the next chapter- since I can't ask her right now after she ran away. (Looks at the author) Seriously, she never ceases to amaze me with her unpredictable actions. *Sighs*
Author: (Pouts while standing beside the Narrator) Geez… I'll just take that as a compliment, Narrator-kun. It's a good thing that I'm in a good mood right now because of the songs that I have been listening while doing this.
Narrator: *Gasps* H-Hey! Don't just appear out of nowhere! What if I get a heart attack?
Author: Mou- you're such a worrywart, Narrator-kun. Well, you're not the only one who told me that with that unpredictable personality. *Coughs* Anyway, this is it for now. Hope you guys like this one… See you all next time… \/(^_-)\/
