A/N: Nyaha~ I'm very very glad that everyone liked the previous chapter. Was I able to redeem myself? XD!
My Lover is a Flight Attendant
By ~W.K.
So... you can still remember...
A certain blue-green haired female...
"Fate Testarossa. Quite an interesting ring to it." This female said as she held Fate Testarossa's Biography and background. "Family History, none. Childhood History, none. Oh, why doesn't she have one?"
She then shuffled into the papers and looked into her medical records. Staring at it and giving it quite an interesting smile.
"Is that so...?" She said in an interested and questioning tone, and then sipped on her milk tea.
"We have to get back to Earth as soon as possible." Carim said as everyone continued their discussion in Nanoha's room.
"But, I'm sure they already know Nanoha-chan what if they attacked again thinking that she's not yet cured? We're putting all the passengers in danger Carim." Hayate answered as she sipped a bit of water from the glass she had brought inside from the cafeteria.
"Then we're leaving Nanoha-san and Fate-san here." The blue eyed blonde answered getting into an argument with Hayate.
"We can't do that! They can't attack Mid-Childa's Airport!" Hayate answered a bit agitated as Fate tried to break them.
"Ha-Hayate. C-Carim-san. Please don't start to have a heated argument. I have an idea." Fate said as they two looked at her, confused. "Why don't we make Nanoha pretend as a passenger?"
"In what statistics do you think would that work, Fate?" Yuuno finally getting some screen time said.
"We have a total of 196 Passengers who have booked the return flight slated for today. If we can get Nanoha to be the 196th or the 197th as an official passenger, she only needs to conceal her appearance and pretend as a passenger seating in the front row, so front flight attendants can see her." Fate answered as she explained. "We will then get one cabin crew short, but if we can get Hayate, to work as a flight attendant, then no one would notice that we're missing one crew, if we asked Shamal-san to be the co-pilot."
"Fate-chan, but aren't you forgetting that you've caused quite a ruckus last time too?" Shamal said as to she was fully informed of all the events in the aircraft, leaked out by Miyuki.
"I'm going to stay in the front flight attendant as Hayate's partner, doing the talk duties so I wouldn't have to fully show my appearance and can only help in preparing the trolleys and talk." The red-eyed blonde answered with a serious expression looking at Nanoha. "Nanoha, please help me." Who received a nod in return.
Hayate and Carim, fully thinking out the benefits of the operation agreed and talked to the airport staff in charge on the booking of the flight to let Nanoha on the spot buy and book the flight and do the mission.
"We…Welcome to flight 5X-327 from Mid-childa. Destination is from Mid-childa International Airport to Uminari International Airport. Departure time is 6:45am and estimated time of arrival would be 4:45pm of the same day with Uminari's time being behind by four hours. Your flight would be led today by Captain Carim Gracia with co-pilot Shamal." Fate said as a sweat trickled from her forehead, despite being in an air-conditioned flight.
She then continued on speaking through the intercom. "We will now demonstrate to you safety measures while you are aboard this aircraft with our in-flight attendants, Yagami Hayate and Takamachi Miyuki..."
As Fate finished speaking through the intercom, Nanoha whistled to catch her attention. Fate looked at her with a confused expression and asked a silent 'Why?' with Nanoha replying her with a 'Not bad,' and a wink.
The blonde immediately blushed and bowed her head to hide it. "Nanohaaaa… please, stop teasing me." At the same time Hayate returns to her seat to buckle up as the aircraft is taking off any minutes.
"Cabin crew prepare for take-off." Carim said as her voice was heard in the entire aircraft with the flight attendants taking their seats from the front and back side of the plane.
Everything went smoothly as they made their trip to Japan. Fate occasionally walks toward Nanoha to ask her if she's fine, Yuuno also does the same only to be shrugged away by the copper brown haired female.
Around only 3 hours left of the flight…
"Nanoha's only been looking out the window, even if she sees nothing but the clouds… and the sun, she won't sleep?" I asked Hayate who's sitting beside me looking around at the passengers.
"She won't. She's one of those people who have got a hard time sleeping while sitting down. She only manages to fall asleep whenever she's dead tired, or having a head ache. She falls asleep maybe but for around 5 minutes 30 minutes the longest, if she's not too tired." Hayate explained as a slight 'ding!' was heard signaling for a passenger looking for a flight attendant. "Hold on, Fate-chan."
Nanoha really does look tired… ah her head dropped, she hit it on the window cover… she shrugged it off. She put her elbow on the arm rest, reclined the seat a bit, and then rest her head on her palm. Ah, her head fell again. She must've been really tired, but she's still doing her job, looking out for everyone.
She looked at me and caught me looking at her. I immediately blushed as she flashed me a smile. 'Isn't it in situations like this, the person who turned to look should blush…? Maybe not.' I walked up to her and smiled.
"Do you need anything?" I asked her. She then looked at me and smiled again.
"If I answered 'You' would you give it?" She told me and chuckled. I half-raised my eyebrows, and stared at her. "I'm only kidding. I'm okay. Don't worry about me too much ne?"
I watched only her for the last few hours of the flight and I actually had fun since we were silently talking from a far. I wonder if we understood each other fully… maybe. There's something with her that makes me feel complete, although I don't know what it is.
After all passengers had gotten off from the plane, the crew went back to the main office with Nanoha and Shamal going straight to the clinic, and the rest giving a report to Lindy Harlaown.
"Oh, so that's what happened… Griffith-kun, please ask a few male flight attendants to have a stake-out on suspicious people in Fedikia. Chrono-kun, go with them." Lindy explained as men inside the main office hustled out. "And Fate-chan~ Even if it's your first day, technically second, I give you three day offs to take care of your senior."
"E-Eeeehhh? We-well… that felt a bit unreasonable… but reasonable at the same time." Fates muttered under her breathe and looked at the Admiral. "Yes Ma'am!"
"Good answer. Carim-chan, Hayate-chan, come into my office for full reports and planning, and Fate-chan, come to my office after you've seen Nanoha-chan, okay?" Lindy said as the two followed them, whereas Yuuno went back to his post and Fate gave her a stern nod and walked towards the clinic.
"Shamal-san…? Nanoha…?" Fate called as she entered the clinic and saw Nanoha slowly buttoning her office uniform. "What are you doing, Nanoha?"
"Nyaha~ Shamal-san said that I can start working toda—"
"Fate-chan, I didn't say that at all, Nanoha-chan is just a workaholic, that she says she's fine so she's going back to work, 'nyahaha'" Shamal said as she perfectly quoted Nanoha's signature laugh at the end of her sentence that made Fate chuckle.
"Lindy-san just gave me a 3 day day-off to take care of my 'senior' so I guess it goes for you too, Nanoha." Fate said and smiled.
"Tch. Shamal-san, you were 10 hours ahead of me." Nanoha said and pouted, whereas Shamal just gave her a pat on the head. "Oh well, I've been cornered by a Doctor and a worry-wart, I guess I have no choice."
"Wh-who-who is a wo-worry-wart?" The red eyed blonde said as she stuttered, perfectly caught in the moment that she had been worried. "D-Don't tease me, please."
"Takamachi Nanoha, please proceed to Lindy Harlaown's main office after your check up." The base intercom called on to her as they all agreed to let Nanoha go while Shamal talked to Fate more.
"What happened to Nanoha?" Fate asked as Shamal walked around her office and sat on her table.
"Oh, she's fine. She's having breathing difficulties though, no matter how she denies it." Shamal said as she wrote some prescriptions on paper and rips it to give to Fate. "That is the side effect of the injected medicine it'll last for roughly 2 – 3 days. She needs complete rest, and she can't tire herself or it'll be harder to breath. Don't do anything vigorous okay?"
"Wh-what…? Vi-Vigorous… activity..?" Fate said as she blushed, remembering the remnants of that 'night' and vigorous activities. Shamal raised her eyebrow at the long haired blonde and winked. "I-I won't do that!"
"Do what?" Shamal said as she chuckled a little. "Vigorous activity with Nanoha-chan?"
"N-Nothing! If y-you'll excuse me!"
"These two, it's going to be a looooong road."
Lindy's Office…
"Ah, Nanoha-chan, you're finally here." Lindy said as she took a sip of her milk tea. "Can you… get the File #010 Incident Report on the bookshelf inside that room?" She said as she pointed to a room, inside her office, she opened it and revealed a smaller room that has around 3 book small book shelves.
"Eh? O-Okay." Nanoha, although puzzled, agreed anyway.
At the moment Nanoha went inside the room, the door to Lindy's Office once again creaked open.
"I've arrived Lindy-san." A certainly long-haired blonde with red-eyes came inside and sat on the couch in-front of the table as Lindy-san instructed her to, whilst standing from her table to sit adjacent to the blonde. "What is it, Lindy-san?"
Inside the small library, Nanoha, leaned her back onto the door and was shocked to find Fate inside the office, even if she was still inside. Panicking on what she should do, she stayed behind the door, half-eavesdropping into the conversation.
"I read over your profile yesterday evening and found something peculiar." Lindy said as she presented Fate's bio data on the table. "That you have no Family History, Family Background, and Childhood History, why is that?"
"Ah, I didn't know you would ask but… I have a sickness. It's called Repressed Memory Syndrome." Fate answered and looked at Lindy who signaled for her to explain. "It's a sickness whereas a particular incident or trauma causes the memory of that incident and all the memory before that to be forgotten."
"You don't have any intentions to get them back?" Lindy asked as she waited for Fate's response.
"I… Even if I know that the past would be painful, I would like to know everything that I've been through, even if it would hurt me in the present."
"But why is it that you haven't regained any of them yet?"
"It's because, I haven't found any person connected to my past yet, who might've known me from way before, who can remind me, and tell me what happened." Fate said and smiled.
"When did this start?" Lindy asked sipping on her tea.
"Since I'm currently 20 years old, around 11 years ago." Fate answered and slightly noticed Lindy stop drinking her tea for half a second before resuming. "And the earliest that I've remembered is that, I was raised in an orphanage, with Bardiche since I woke up holding on to him, and medical records said that my name was Fate Testarossa."
"Oh, That's pretty much everything in your Bio data, grew up in Uminari City Orphanage since you were 9 years old until you were 16, studied in Seishou Middle School/High School, and a Criminology Graduate with Honors." Lindy said as she re-arranged Fate's bio data.
"Yes Ma'am, that is about it." Fate said as she played with her skirt's hem.
"What would you do… if I told you that I know someone who might've known you from the past?" Lindy said as she saw Fate's shocked reaction.
"I'd like to know them, and of course ask about myself… but I just can't do that out in the open, but if given the opportunity, I'd definitely want to… know more about myself." Fate answered and smiled.
"I see. Well that's all about this interview, take care of your senior okay? I'll call you again, if I found someone who might've known you from before." Lindy said and waved goodbye as Fate exited her room. "Heard that Nanoha-chan?"
Nanoha then opened the door from the back room dropping the Incident Report from her hands as it softly hit the ground. "Why?"
"Because I know that you're the only person who can help her." Lindy said and approached Nanoha, picking up the Incident Report and hands it back at her. "It's in your hands. The decision on what to do about this."
"So… I was right all along…?" Nanoha said as she looked at the incident report title that said "File#010 Jewel Seed Incident"
"What was that all about?" Fate wondered as she walked towards her office table to clean a few stuff and arrange her desk.
Meanwhile Nanoha entered from the front door as to she had escaped from Lindy's hidden backdoor.
"Ah, Fate-chan, you're little baby of a senior is here to fetch you." Hayate said as she almost bumped into Nanoha entering the room.
"Hold on, I'll just finish a few of these." The blonde said and quickly shuffled through her desk.
"Warning! Intruder Alert!"
The whole base echoed as a horde of men wearing kabuki masks appeared.
