Disclaimer: I do not own anything concerning Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Really though, why do I put these here)
Anyways, here's the next chapter, if anyone actually cares. I do hope they do, though.
A familiar figure was standing in the forest, waiting for something. As he caught the traces of his target, he began forming his magic seal. The green circle finished, floating in front of his hand, getting smaller, when the beast attacked. Wounded, the boy was unable to continue, eventually slumping down and passing out.
A familiar alarm rang out from Nanoha's phone, with its purpose being to wake the girl up. Reflexively acting and feeling for her phone, Nanoha accidentally pushed the invincible phone that could live through any impact off her bed once more. Reaching down, she silenced the phone and got up. "That dream was oddly familiar…" the brown haired girl stated, before the events of last night flashed in her head. Snapping to full consciousness, Nanoha began to observe her surroundings. "This is… My old room! But why?" The girl briefly wondered to herself, before deciding to head out of the room to figure out more about her current situation.
Before she reached the door, she took a quick glance at the mirror, and what image entered her mind astonished the girl. "What the… I'm a kid again! What's going on?" The girl wondered, before deciding to continue her journey downstairs to discover more information. As she wandered out of her room, a certain person sighted and confronted the girl.
"Nanoha! You should tidy up your hair before coming down! Go do that now!" Spoke the person, who could be identified as Nanoha Takamachi's mother.
"Umm, sorry, Mom. I'll go do that now. But before I go, can you tell me what today is?" Nanoha had been reading many novels lately, and it seemed that they were giving her a good idea of what exactly was going on.
"What are you talking about? How do you not know what today's date is?" As she spoke the current date, Nanoha's assumptions were confirmed. Deciding to figure out what exactly was going on in a clearer light while she was fixing her hair, Nanoha did just that.
While she was slowly tidying up, lost in her thoughts, Nanoha realized that she had to hurry up or else she would miss the bus to school, and that wouldn't be a good thing. As she quickly finished up and met her mother once again.
"Oh, Nanoha! That's much better. Can you take this to the table, please?"
"Okay!" Nanoha said with a smile on her face. Whether it was real or not, only the girl who had the smile on her face knew. As she brought the plates to the table, she remembered that she asked about her siblings last time she went through this, so she would do that again. "Say, where are Kyoya and Miyuki?" Inquired Nanoha, although she already knew the answer.
"Oh, they're in the dojo, practicing." Answered Shiro Takamachi, Nanoha Takamachi's father. As Nanoha ran to get her siblings to get them to come over, she had to wonder if any of the others remembered what happened. Or, in this case, what would happen. Nanoha also considered the possibility that her assumption of being sent back in time was wrong, and something entirely different had happened. Either way, she had to wonder who else retained their awareness of later times. As she came back with her siblings, Nanoha Takamachi was deeply caught in her thoughts and theories, and it wouldn't stop soon.
School, if Nanoha remembered correctly, passed by quite uneventfully, and it did again. All that was really noteworthy is that she gained much more time to ponder current events.
As Nanoha and the others were heading to their cram school, Nanoha was focusing in order to catch the incoming telepathic message that was coming from Yuuno. The situation had temporarily made the girl forget about her current hatred towards the ferret/human being. Suddenly, the message came.
Please, help me! Rang the voice of the one currently in ferret form into the future Ace of Aces's mind. Instead of ignoring this and responding to the second call like last time, Nanoha shot out after the first message. Looking for the ferret, Nanoha sent a message back to him. Tell me, where are you! She sent to Yuuno telepathically. Too desperate for help to wonder how exactly this girl knew how to respond, Yuuno instead just responded himself. I'm to your right! Come quickly! Ple- was all he was able to get out before he lost focus. Luckily, this was enough of a hint to send Nanoha in his direction and find him.
"Yuuno! There you are! Are you okay?" Nanoha said as soon as she saw the familiar ferret.
"How… do you… know… my name?" The ferret gasped, before passing out. Nanoha realized two things from this sentence. One, that this really was Yuuno, and two, he certainly didn't recognize her. As Nanoha turned to call for her two friends, another voice rang out from behind her.
Master, good day. Nanoha identified this voice instantly. It was that of her device, Raising Heart.
"What the? Raising Heart, you remember me?" Nanoha said, shocked at this new revelation.
Yes, I do. It appears he does not, however. The device responded, making it clear that Yuuno didn't remember anything.
"We can worry about that later! Right now, we need to bring him to that vet! Alisa! Suzuka! Help!" So rang Nanoha's voice, with a bit of desperation in it.
The trio then quickly ran over to the veterinarian's clinic, where the ferret was brought over and given care. After confirming that Yuuno would be fine, they began to walk over to cram school, where Nanoha was able to convince the others that it would be possible for her to take care of the ferret.
While Nanoha was eating dinner with the rest of her family, she realized that she needed to convince them to keep Yuuno here. Saying whatever she remembered of how she convinced them last time, Nanoha just filled in the blanks with whatever the heck came to mind, and somehow managed to win.
After dinner, Nanoha quickly finished her homework that was quite easy when you have ten years worth of knowledge ahead of the assignment, and was just about to rest and get some sleep after this seemingly long day, when the voice of the ferret rang in her head once more. Remembering that today was the day she got Raising Heart and started her quest for the Jewel Seeds, Nanoha quickly jumped out the window, hoping that she had enough control over her magic that she could hover down. If not, then, well, she would have to hope that a mattress was being brought in.
Nanoha quickly ran over to the clinic, where she could see that the monster was already attacking Yuuno. She also saw the ferret run out, under her legs, and down the street. Chasing after him while making sure to dodge the monster's attacks, she quickly caught up with him ten minutes later. At least, if ten minutes qualifies as quick.
"Hey! Yuuno! Wait up!" Hollered Nanoha as she caught up with the ferret.
"Again… How do you know my name?"
"I had a feeling that was it. Anyways, you called?" Responded Nanoha with a smile.
"Yes, I did." Said Yuuno, holding out Raising Heart with his paws. "You see, I'm in a situation right now, and I would appreciate it if you helped. I'll reward you! Just please, use this and help me!"
"Alright then, I'll help you" Nanoha assured the ferret, taking Raising Heart from him. "Raising Heart, let's go!" She then shouted, leading to a response from the device. Stand by, ready. Set up. Nanoha's Barrier Jacket and device then quickly formed themselves, leaving Yuuno wondering how the girl standing in front of him could be so adept with a device she only got a couple seconds ago, yet alone know its name.
That's the end for now, folks. Please review and drop a comment soon.
