A/N: Well, people, I'm not sure, but as my reconciliation for not updating my other story for so long, here is another that I have been planning to put out, along with Akiron-san… I'm sorry if I almost forgot about this little collab project we are supposed to have… I'll be testing the waters first with this chap… Please read and review and tell me if I should continue with this story. Thank you very much.

Sapphire and Burgundy orbs clashed together. Not one giving to the other. Both of them were staring, they knew, and yet no one wanted to break it.

How did it end up like this?!

Nanoha woke up in her bed, slowly rubbing her eyes, trying to adjust to the sudden burst of sunlight caused by her open curta-…. Open curtains?!

"Good morning Nanoha! Geez… it's been a full hour since your alarm clock went off. How is it that you manage to sleep through something that loud? At this rate, you're gonna be late for your first day at your new school." Nanoha's sister, Miyuki, stated.

"What?" She replied, sleepily processing what she had just heard, then her eyes widened. "WHAT?! I have to hurry!" Nanoha said as she fell from her bed, tripping over the sheets and stumbling into the bathroom.

Yep… This was the start to a LOOONG day.

Nanoha rushed down the stairs fixing her tie. She quickly gobbled up her bacon and eggs, no hesitation present in her eyes. She was determined to make it to school on time. Kissing her parents on the cheek and giving her siblings a quick hug, she bid them farewell and ran out the door with a piece of toast in her mouth. The perfect clichéd scene.

After barely making it onto her train, Nanoha checked her reflection in the train's window. She looked a little roughed up, probably because of all the running she had done. After fixing herself up, she took one last look at her reflection and gave herself a satisfied nod. 'Not bad' she thought. The uniform of this school was pretty neat, with light blue blouses covered with a gray vest and white blazer, accompanied by a white skirt and red tie.

The school Nanoha was going to attend starting this 2nd semester was famous for all the prestigious families sending their children to study there, aside from that, the school did peovide a wonderful education and a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Nanoha sighed. How could she keep up with all these amazing people there? She was pretty sure she would meet geniuses of all sorts, maybe someone who could cure the horrible taste of medicine for a change.

Oh why did she ever choose this place of education?

Oh right. It was nearer than the public school, plus she was offered a scholarship here. No wonder. Nanoha just hoped that Arisa and Suzuka accepted their scholarships as well. No way she was going through this alone. They did receive the offer together.

Upon arriving at the gate, Nanoha's eyes widened with surprise and gleamed with happiness. There at the gate, stood Arisa and Suzuka waiting for her, warm smiles plastered on their faces. Nanoha ran up to them.

"Arisa-chan! Suzuka-chan! You came here too?" Nanoha said squealing in delight.

"Is it really that much of a surprise?" Suzuka questioned, since she knew Nanoha wished with all her heart to be with them at the same school. It was also for… other… reasons.

"Well, not really for you, but Arisa-chan! I thought you were going to stay at the dorms of that boarding school your parents wanted you to attend?" Nanoha turned to the blonde in question.

"Well, I talked to them about how the three of us received scholarships here and they found it okay." Arisa replied.

"You just didn't want to be left out, right?" Suzuka grinned teasingly.

"Sh-Shut up! Be grateful at least." Arisa muttered, flustered.

"Yeah,yeah… we're grateful, very grateful!" Suzuka said hugging Arisa, making the latter blush.

"S-suzuka…." Arisa whined.

"OK, ok… enough with the flirting you two. Let's go inside already." Nanoha teased, adding to Arisa's embarrassment and making Suzuka flush lightly.

The three of them had only transferred here during the 2nd semester due to the planning, mostly on Arisa's persuading her parents, so none of them were familiar with the school.

"Let's see…" Arisa said, looking at a guide manual. "It says here that this school is composed of a nursery, kindergarten, elementary, middleschool, highschool and college. The complete educational package, so to speak." She explained trying to read the map, because currently, the three of them were… lost.

"I still can't believe that this school is this big. I wish we weren't lost…" Suzuka sighed, exasperated.

"Well, I guess it is pretty normal. We just transferred, we missed the open-house and orientation, not to mention, we don't know anyone from this place and we've only been here once and that was to file our applications, unless you two have been here other times." Arisa stated. They both shook there heads.

The three continued walking till they reached a fountain at the center of four walkways that seemed to intersect. They sat down on some of the benched near the fountain. The sun was bright, but the atmosphere was cool with many trees around the area. Over all, it was a pretty peaceful and secluded place.

"Ugh, what time is it anyway?" Arisa asked, placing her head on Suzuka's lap as she sat down and hugging her waist tightly in the process, making Suzuka blush profusely.

"NO IDEA…" Nanoha replied, lying down on the bench next to Arisa and Suzuka's, while covering her eyes.

The gentle breeze was soothing to the tired transferees and they didn't mind sitting there peacefully, with a little hope of someone finding them and showing them to their destination.

"Ummm… are you three skipping classes?" A soft voice questioned.

Nanoha took her hand from her eyes and found herself staring deeply into pols of burgundy. Now we are at our current situation.

Arisa and Suzuka just sat there watching the other two, but as time flew by, Arisa took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere. "Ehem…" Arisa cleared her throat.

Realizing what she was doing, Nanoha snapped out of her trance. "O-oh… I'm very sorry." Nanoha apologized, breaking eye contact. 'What is she apologizing for?' Arisa and Suzuka sweatdropped.

"A-ah! It's ok… I didn't really mind…" the stranger replied. 'What are we missing?' Arisa and Suzuka looked at each other and shrugged.

Nanoha took a look once more as the girl straightened up. Nanoha realized that she must have bent over her. She instantly blushed. The girl was very, VERY beautiful. Blonde hair, wine red eyes, slender body and waist, big b-" Nanoha shook her head to gather her thoughts. 'Bad Nanoha, Bad Nanoha' She mentally slapped herself for having such thoughts about someone she just met.

"Um… I'd like to ask again if you are skipping class. Wait… come to think of it, I don't think I've seen you before. Are you intruders?" The blonde said, a beam of light showing in her hand, forming a sword. Her once warm voice, turned hostile.

"W-wait! We can explain." Nanoha said, trying to solve it before things got out of hand. 'Powers huh… Light Control, maybe?' The three transferees thought. "We're transfer students here and we kinda got… lost along the way, Nyahaha." Nanoha was obviously embarrassed with their situation, but nervous as well. One wrong move and-

"Oh… OH! Ahaha… sorry for that." The blonde beauty said, retracting her weapon. 'Thank goodness' The other three thought. "Fate. My name is Fate Testarossa- Harlaown. Nice to meet you, ummm…?" She looked at Nanoha and her companions.

"Oh! This is Tsukimura Suzuka and Arisa Bannings, my friends." Nanoha said gesturing towards the two. Fate nodded to them in acknowledgement to which they nodded back. "And I'm Nanoha." She finished.

"Nanoha? Any last name attached?" Fate said, to which Nanoha reacted nervously. Not everyone knew about her last name's legacy, but some elites did. She wondered if the students here knew. She opened her mouth to reply, but was instantly cut off.

"I don't think she can tell you that yet." Arisa cut in. Nanoha mouthed Arisa a small thanks, to which she waved her hand in a gesture that showed it was alright. 'Good thing me and Suzuka are here… this girl might've spillied.' She thought.

"Oh? Well alright then." Fate raised a brow, but did not push it further, sensing the privacy of the matter. "How about we get you to your cla-" As she said that, the bell rang, signaling the dismissal of classes.

"I guess that means we go to class tomorrow?" Suzuka said questioningly.

"I guess so." Nanoha replied.

"Ummm, guys, " Fate said, gaining there attention. "If you'd like, I can wait for you tomorrow at the front gate so that you won't get lost." She offered.

"Really? Thanks a lot, but are you sure it's not too much trouble?" Nanoha asked.

"Yeah it's fine"

"Don't have club activities or anything?" Arisa confirmed.

"Nah. There's only two of us anyway."

"You won't get tired of waiting?" Suzuka said worriedly.

"Listen, do you want me to wait for you or not?" Fate said frustrated.

"Yes please!" The three answered in Chorus.

"Alright then. Meet you tomorrow?" Fate said.

"Ummm…" Nanoha interjected.

"Yes?"

"We don't know how to get back to the gate." Nanoha voiced out.

"Oh… right. Let's go then."

"Yes!"
