(Funny?) Nanoha One Shots
While thinking of ideas to write about, I decided to start digging up the darkest secrets of Section Six, since everybody loves secrets, no?
So, here comes the first one.

Mobile Section Six's Secrets – Part 1 – Case named Erio Mondial
The forwards of the Mobile Section Six were, as usual, happily enjoying their lunchtime together.
"Say, Erio..." Subaru somehow managed to get the words out despite the fact she was busy stuffing food into her mouth.
"You said you were raised in the Bureau's Main office, right?" This earned the straightforward girl a nasty glare from her partner.
"Yeah. Although, in fact, I've never been there." This drew some confused looks from the others, so Erio went ahead to explain.
"Actually, it's just a lie Fate-san came up with. She couldn't exactly tell the Bureau, or Commander Hayate for that matter, that she was going to take a gangster as a subordinate, now could she?"
Everybody stared at him dumbly. What he had said just made no sense to any of them.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Erio-kun?" Teana was the first one to regain her wits and proceeded to demand an explanation.
"Oh, just that before I came here, I wasn't exactly a 'good' citizen. I used to be quite a trouble maker back then...Had me a gang, even." There wasn't a hint of humor in his voice
"Eh--?!?" Subaru was astounded by this sudden revelation, and Caro could only stare at her best friend's face trying to determine whether he was joking or not.
Teana on the other hand seemed suprisingly calm about all of it. Then, after watching the other two's reactions for a while, she burst out laughing.
"Ha, ha-haa! Th-that was a good one, Erio-kun." Subaru and Caro didn't quite seem to understand the sudden development the situation had taken.
"Uh...Tea?"
"Ha-haaa... What? You didn't seriously believe all that? Haa-ha!" Teana was holding her stomach, laughing so hard she had tears forming in her eyes.
"Huh? You mean--?" Subaru turned back to Erio, who had a huge grin on his face.
"Ehh--?!?" Subaru finally caught up on the situation, and her cheeks flushed bright red from embarrassment. Caro, on the other hand, seemed more relieved than embarrassed.
"That was a really good one, Erio. Almost had me there." Teana congratulated the boy, after the laughing fit had finally passed.
"Wasn't it?" Erio still had a victorious grin all over his face.
"Gee..." Subaru was still clearly angry about having been fooled.
"It's because you're so gullible." Teana's comment earned a grunt from Subaru.

Later that day, while studying, Subaru accidentally came upon an article about a mass-homicide incident in an orphanage in the capital of Mid-Childa.
Reading the article, she learned the incident had happened four years ago, around the same time she had been saved by Nanoha.
Apparently, all the people in the orphanage had been slaughtered mercilessly with a knife. Evidently the work of a psychopath.
The article stated that the culprit hadn't been captured. The prime suspect had been the only orphan whose body wasn't found – Morio Endial. There had been no sightings of him after the incident, though, so the investigation had met a dead end.
"Huh? Wait--? Morio Endial..." The name somehow caught Subaru's attention. It reminded her of something...someone.
It had a very familiar ring to it, too. The answer was right there, right in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach it. After a while, she simply gave up.
"Oh, well...Maybe I was mistaken." With that, she continued where she had left off her studying, efficiently forgetting everything about the article in a matter of seconds.

He hee... Erio's dark past has been revealed (Or has it?)! Now, after writing this, I wonder if I should write one about Signum (The incident mentioned on the 2. chapter). But I doubt it'd be anything spectacular.
I also thought if I should put info on my current projects on my profile page, but...Maybe one day.
