Sorry, I was out last night. Here's chapter 3. Thanks for the reviews :)


Nanoha watched the screens. "Your power had very much potential when you first got it. You were very strong, and adapted well. You forced yourself to grow, and though it was tough, you proved it was worth it." Nanoha held onto her staff tighter. She knew these things were true. "Past your limits, and beyond. You followed your dreams Master. Now you have a Daughter, and a family. Please.. Smile.
"You're right.." Nanoha said. "And tonight's mission, won't stop me. It will be tough, but me and you now have a chance to prove our true power." Raging Heart returned into a gem, and floated around Nanoha.


Vivio had slept for about an hour, and was still out. Fate had just come in the door, and was looking around for Nanoha. "Nanoha?" No answer. "Nanoha?!"
"Fate." Raging Heart said.
"Ah, Raging Heart." She smiled when the gem floated over. "Where's Nanoha?"
"Master is sleeping." Raging Heart floated over to the couch, where Nanoha was asleep. "She had cried for some time, I do think her sickness is trying to take over again. We must make this camping trip memorable."
"I agree.." Fate carried the brunette to bed, and tucked her in.


Later that night, Fate was in the bath with Vivio, who had recovered, and they were waiting for Nanoha. "Nanoha-Mama should be home soon, right?"
"She should be. But let's get out of the bath now. I think its time we finish packing your things, and have a snack, don't you?" The little girl laughed, and crawled out of the bath, and ran across the floor. She dried off, and pulled on her Pj's, then ran out to the kitchen area. Fate did the same, and then walked out, draining the water.

10pm rolled around, and Fate got a little worried. Vivio had a snack, and was now cuddled up infront of the TV, waiting for Nanoha to come back. When she came in the door, she said sorry, and went for a bath. When she came out, she smiled, and helped Vivio finish packing.

Everything was placed at the door, and ready to go. Only they would need to leave tomorrow. They all snuggled into bed, and fell right off to sleep, excited.


In the morning, Fate was first to wake up, so she brought all the stuff down to the van. She put Vivio's booster seat in it, and then arf came down in her teenage form. "Fate!" She smiled.
"Oh, Arf." She smiled at her familiar. "It's been a while in that form."
"Yeah, well.. I wanted to change it up you know. Where's Vivio? I want to show her." Arf wore her old clothes, a simple tank top and shorts. Fate laughed.
"Nanoha is getting her dressed, and then we'll be on our way." She started the car. "You have the cooler, right?" Fate asked.
"Yeah, and we'll buy some stuff on the way there. I'll go get the cooler." She ran off.

Nanoha came down, with Vivio, who was running to the car. "Fate-Mama! I'm all better!" She smiled. Vivio was in a light blue dress, and her hair was up with blue ribbons.
"Well that's good. Arf has something to show you when she gets back." Fate smiled, and put Vivio in the car.
"Arf-san?" Nanoha asked.
"She's gone to get the cooler." Fate explained. "Did you bring down some of the snacks?"
"Yeah, I packed them in the box in the back." Nanoha said.

Just then, Arf came back to the drive off area. "Here's the cooler!" She stuck it in the back. "We'll go shopping and pick up our supplied in a minute." She got into the car.
"Whao.. Arf, you look so cool all grown up!"
"A-Ah, yeah. Fate created me to be older once we left our home world, so I could help take care of her."
"Whoa!"

About five minutes later, Fate was pulling out of the TSAB, ready to start the vacation. Hayate and the others were in the Van behind them, happily driving. They had walkie-talkies to talk to each other. "Can we get some coffee or something?" Hayate's voice came through the walkie-talkie, since Signum was driving.
"I think that's fine." Nanoha said, looking at Fate who nodded. They drove to the closest Tim Hortons, and drove in.
"Welcome to Tim Hortons, can I help you?" A voice asked. Fate leaned out the window a bit, and spoke.
"Can we have, a box of 40 timbits, and two large double doubles." She said.
"Sure, please drive up." Fate drove up to the window, and payed.

After getting coffee, the drive continued. It wasn't to far away, about 3 hours drive if you got the groceries and made pit stops.


They packed up the food from the grocery store, and got back in the car. "Nanoha-Mama, we got a lot of stuff, didn't we?" Vivio seemed exited.
"Man, now we're only about 50 minutes away! I'm so exited!" Arf said. "Now, let's go!" She smiled. Nanoha laughed a bit, and looked at Fate, who started the car. They pulled out of the parking space, and continued.

Once they were down the road, Hayate's car was the first to stop, seeing as how they were the first cabin. They waved, and drove up five more minutes, and parked their car. The cabin was beautiful, with a deck and everything. There was an upstairs, with three rooms and a bathroom. On the main floor, a kitchen, and a bookshelf, with a couch and small TV.

They went in, and unpacked. Loading food into the small working fridge, and the cupboards. A few snacks were on the table, and some on the counter. Nanoha tried to place things in certain spots. Vivio was trying to choose between two swim suites with Sacred Heart. "Blue.. Or pink..?" She asked. Sacred Heart shrugged.
