Decided to just put this as chapter 3 to avoid confusion.

Disclaimer: I do not own MGLN. (Seriously, if you actually believe i do, that'll be like believing that unicorns are real creatures.)

Realized that i'm too naggy in my story, so decided to combine the first 2 chapters into one. But hey, i'm sorry, this is the first time i'm writing a fanfic or anything else that is this long, so please be gentle?

Warning: Again, horrible use of the english languge because language is really not my thing.

This time, the affair will really begin.

Yunno was not pleased. Not a single bit at all.

He took a sip of his coffee trying and trying to be as collected as possible, he started,"So, tell me again, how did this happened?"

Fate was sitting opposite of her long time friend and showing an all too obvious concern look on her face. She was worried what Yunno would do, considering his strong feelings for Nanoha.

"Well... I..."

"Did you tried to stop her?" Fate was cut off by the strong demanding voice of Yunno.

"I support whatever her decision is. I'm pretty sure she has her own reasons for it, which, i guess is the fact that she herself wants to proof whether she has moved on... Besides Nanoha has always been a little stubborn; once she has decided on something, she won't change her mind."

"Still... Him and her, facing each other for the next 6 months! Listen to that, didn't you find it absurd? I'm sure that jerk of a guy will-"

"Onii-chan won't do anything to Nanoha!" Fate didn't know where that courage of outburst came from, but she did not want to hear any bad things about her kind brother even if he had done something unforgiveable.

Yunno was taken aback. This is the first time he had heard that loud, teary voice coming from the gentle, soft girl he knows.

"Fate-san? I'm... I'm sorry ok? It's just... Nanoha... She had... She's hurted. And now, she has to go through everyday face-to-face the source of her pain... When i think of that, i get really emotional... And, i... just... I..."

Fate put her hands on his after she had realized what she has done and reassured him with her smile. "It's ok, i'm fine. It's that, no matter what, he is my brother and from what i have learnt in the past is that family always stick together... And... I feel..."

Fate removed her hand shortly. She turned to face the other side so Yunno could not see her face. "I'm such a bad friend aren't I? I thought the whole thing would end in time but it just got worst... I feel like i'm betraying both of them, both who are so dear to me. Yet, all i could do is to pretend that i have no idea what's going on. It hurts, it really do..."

"Fate-san... Don't worry about it 'k? As long as i'm here, Nanoha won't get hurted anymore. Although i've been expressing my feelings to her all this years, she still hasn't accepted me yet, but maybe now it will change. In the past maybe it's too much for her, but maybe, if it is as you've said, she wants to move on, then maybe... I have a chance now..." With that, a small smile creept onto his face.

"Ya... I hope so." Fate sadly looked down. At that moment, she finally knows why she felt as though someone stabbed her heart.

"Oh yes, are you guys going to Hayate-chan's New year's eve party this saturday? I hope it's going to be alot of fun. Especially that is a good chance to get Nanoha to know me better."

"I... I'm going and Nanoha is too. But... There's something you should know." Fate stopped, deciding how to continue her sentence. "Since Hayate never knew about what happened 6 years ago as she and her knights were on a year long mission, she invited Chrono too."

Yunno took another sip of his coffee. "It should be fine. As long as we keep him out of Nanoha's sight, and Amy to look after her husband well. The two of them can't get into any trouble."

"That's the problem." There was a worried look on Fate's face. "Amy's not coming because she and the kids are currently on another planet on vacation and Onii-chan didn't go because he's too busy with work. And, Amy forced him to go alone as she thinks that it's rude to reject Hayate's invite."

Somehow, after hearing that Chrono is not just going, but going alone, yunno still managed to maintain his composure. "I'll be fetching Nanoha to the party."

New year's eve at Hayate's house

There was a lot of people at Hayate's house. All hers and her knight's close friends, friends, co-workers and other random people were all her. Well, Hayate and her knights are known to throw some of the craziest and wildest parties, so who could reject their invite?

However, there was one blonde standing outside the entrance, missing out on the action inside. That was Fate. She was walking up and down the door, waiting anxiously for the arrival of Nanoha and Yunno for almost an hour now.

"Fate-chan!"

Then, finally, her wait was over. She turned around, but to add to her anxiousness, she only saw Nanoha appearing out of the shadows.

"Nanoha!" Fate proceeded to hug her best friend. "Where's Yunno-kun? Didn't he said that he will fetch you to come together?"

"I don't think Yunno-kun's coming to the party. I waited for him for over an hour, and then he called me to tell me that while on the way fetch me, his car broke down. He's now trying to fix it, but i think it's faster if i come on my own. He told me to not come, or at least wait until he fixed his car, but i think that by the time the car's fixed, the party's going to be over. And how could i even miss Hayate-chan's party? It's always fun." She ended with her killer smile.

"Wait- what? Yunno-kun's not coming?" Fate was at a loss. Now that Yunno's not coming, how was she alone going to stop the 2 of them from meeting each other? But at the back of her mind, she was disappointed. One of the few reasons she's here tonight besides the fact that best friend invited her and to prevent Nanoha from bumping into Chrono, was because she gets to see him.

As Fate breathe a deep breath, she placed both her hands on Nanoha's shoulders. "Nanoha! Why don't we go somewhere else?"

"Why? Hayate-chan's inside!" There was a puzzled look plastered on Nanoha's face as she questioned Fate.

Fate froze. She was definitely not good at such things.

"Come on Fate-chan! Let's go in!" And before Fate could respond, she already felt two hands pulling her into the house.

Inside the house, there was like a million people and there was hardly any space to walk at all. The loud music that was blasting through the roof didn't help at all. However, Fate was relieved. With the amount people in the house, it was almost impossible to find a single person, so she was glad thinking that Nanoha would most likely to be not meething her brother.

After getting self-reassurance from herself that she can pull this off, she came back to the scene, and she came to realise, that Nanoha was gone. She was shocked, she mentally scolded herself for not noticing that Nanoha had already slipped out of her hand when she was thinking it was almost impossible to find a single person.

Her pupils dilated. Now that the only situation that was working for her before, was against her. Fate gives up trying to convince herself that Nanoha will come back, as she decided it was faster to find her herself in this chaotic place called Hayate's house.

Meanwhile, Nanoha was wondering off on her own after she realised that she had released Fate's hand without noticing it. She stopped by the kitchen when she saw Vita and Signum drinking big mugs of beer.

Nanoha walked towards them and teasingly took away the mug on Vita's hand and said, "Kids shouldn't be drinking beer, you know."

"You devil! I'm not a kid! I'm older than you!" Vita siad in retort, which obviously, did not sound any bit of convincing judging at how Nanoha was patting Vita's head.

Nanoha took no notice to Vita's words and turned to Signum who clearly looks a little drunk. "What are you guys doing?"

Signum, who couldn't find her centre of gravity, was wobbling all over the place before she fiercely put her right hand on the table, in hopes to balance herself. "We... were having a beer competition... The one who passes out first... LOSES! AND I NEVER LOSE! CHARGE!" Taking her last few words as motivation, Signum gulped down three more mugs, but eventually, she fainted.

"HAHAHA! I WON! TAKE THAT!" Vita stood on top of the table with both her hands on her waist. "HEY! You! What you... Looking.. at?" Vita pointed at Nanoha.

Nanoha felt a chill went down her spine. She got a bad feYling about this. "I'm not looking at anything..."

"You sound so sober! Here, leeet mmmmeeeeeee help you." Vita jumped down from the table and grabbed a full mug of beer and forced it down Nanoha's throat.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO! GA-" Nanoha tried resisting but all she could do is let Vita pour the beer into her mouth. Vita's strength when she's drunk was just too much for Nanoha. Nanoha knew she was going to get drunk from this as she could not hold her liquor well.

After Vita released Nanoha after what seems like end endless nightmare of pouring beer into her mouth, Nanoha felt weak, and she could no longer think straight.

"BEHOLD! MY CREATIONS!" Vita then turned the two chairs that was behind the kitchen table the whole time, to reveal a very drunk Shamal who was talking to herself while being tied up to the chair, and... Chrono. Who was, also tied up to the chair, and seems to be in a daze. Nanoha believed that Vita was the one that got both of them drunk and tied them up.

There was a soft thump sound after that. Vita had fainted(Or fallen asleep) on the ground beneath her.

After a few hiccups and unbalanced steps, Nanoha reached Shamal and Chrono and somehow managed to untie them. Upon release, Shamal jumped up and ran into the crowd of people screaming "MAMA"S COMING TO GET YOU!" Chrono he, well, just have a dazed expression on his face.

"Cuuuttttteeeeeeee." Was what Nanoha could think of right now. She was drunk and didn't know what was she doing anyway. She grabbed Chrono by his collar and drag him out in the crowd.

Back in the crowd, Hayate was getting ready for the countdown. She grabbed the mike and stood on top of a table and screamed. "Hey people! It's 11:55! 5 more minutes!"

There was a roar coming from around the house. Everyone was all pumped up for the new year, well, everyone except Chrono and Nanoha who were in the first floor toliet together. They were not doing anything. Really. They had found their own corner in the small space and lied down on the floor while leaning onto the wall. They just wanted peace and quiet after the horrible experience with Vita.

"Hey... Nanoha... Do you remember that we had a new year's kiss together?" Chrono started.

"Ya... Hip... That... was fun." Nanoha smiled at the memory invoked by Chrono's question. "-ny. That was funny... Hahaha... We were so young... No! Correction... I was so young, you were still an old man even then... Ha!" Nanoha laughed.

Just then, Hayate announced, "Last 15 seconds!"

Chrono smiled. "Nanoha, the countdown is about to begin… Do you remember that i told you before that it is said that what you do on the New Year will decide how you're going to spend the rest of the year?" "

As indeed, the countdown started.

"10… 9… 8…"

Nanoha laughed out loud

"7… 6… 5..."

"Chrooooonnnnnnnnooooooo..." Nanoha gave a wide grin like an idiot. "I remembered that..."

"4… 3… 2…"

"And so…"

"1…"

Chrono pulled Nanoha in and sealed her lips with a kiss.

"Happy New Year!"
