Judgement Day
Outside on the track, a temporary stage was set up, the third years about to commence with their acts. Two teachers were supervising, making sure that the students wouldn't get too rowdy. With all of the third years assembled, seated by classes, some pairs began to nervously fidget. In front of the stage a small desk was set up, where Kagami and Konata sat; a huge pile of paper next to both of them.
'Fate-chan?'
Fate smiled at the sound of Nanoha's voice.
'Hai?' she asked.
'Are you nervous?'
'A little…'
'Don't be! You can do it!' Nanoha cheered on.
'Thank-you but there's so many people,' Fate responded.
'More people to be amazed by your skills.'
Fate nervously laughed, their conversation cut off by Kagami's voice.
"Everyone, please quieten down."
Voices trailed off, mouths shutting, stopping so that the judging could begin. Standing up from her place at the desk, Kagami picked up the microphone which was situated on the desk. She turned to face her fellow third years.
"We will now begin the judging. Please do not talk during acts; it is very rude and disrespectful. I understand that some of you are very apprehensive about coming up in front of so many people, but just relax and have fun. The first three acts will be called up; after the first pair has performed we will call up the fourth act, who will prepare while the second pair performs. While preparing please be as quiet as possible. After you perform please make your way off of the stage, then to the changing rooms. After getting changed etc, you will then take your seat, please do this after an act has finished. Your act will be judged on many different aspects such as organization, confidence, the act itself things along those lines." Kagami took a breath.
"Are there any questions?" she asked. Looking around, she saw no hands go up. Nodding her head she finished,
"Well, then let's begin. The first three acts are…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two girls struck a final pose as the music to their dance ended. Claps and cheering were heard as they came out of their poses, bowed and then left the stage.
"Ok, next up is Shugo Kitamura and Fate Testarossa," Konata announced into the microphone. Fan boys and girls could be heard gasping in anticipation. The boys' idol would be performing with the girls' new idol. Fate and Shugo walked onto the stage, Fate carrying a guitar, Shugo carrying a music stand with the guitar tabs. Sitting down on the chair which was waiting for her, Fate took a deep breath. Shugo placed the tabs in front of Fate; Shugo took his place at the front of the stage, microphone in front of him.
"What will you be performing?" Kagami asked after both had set up.
"We will be doing the song Hero by Enrique Iglesias. I will be singing and Fate-san will be playing the guitar," Shugo replied smiling at Kagami. Nodding her head, Kagami sat back and waited for the performance to start. Turning to Fate, Shugo received a nod, a sign that she was ready. Shugo nodded back and said into the microphone.
"This is dedicated to the girl who means the world to me." Fan girls squealed, thinking that Shugo meant them. Never unlocking his gaze from Kagami's, he listened as Fate began to play the guitar.
"Would you dance if I asked you to dance
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
And would you save my soul tonight
Would you tremble if I touched your lips
Would you laugh
Please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you loved
Hold me in your arms tonight"
Fate smiled when she heard Shugo start singing, hitting each note perfectly and on time. Everyone else seemed to smile as well, calmed by the voice.
'Shugo-kun is putting his all into this…I wonder who the girl is,' Nanoha thought to herself as she followed the boy's gaze. It lead straight to Kagami.
'Kagami-san?' Nanoha inquired to herself.
"I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear that you'll always be mine
Would you lie
Would you run away
Am I in too deep
Have I lost my mind
I don't care, you're here tonight"
Continuing to look at Kagami and Shugo, Nanoha couldn't help but observe Konata's reaction. Konata was watching Kagami intensely, sadness in her eyes. The taller girl took no notice as her gaze was fixed on the stage, more like on someone; Fate. She was gracefully moving her finger over the guitar neck, creating the necessary notes.
"I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you
Am I in too deep
Have I lost my mind
Well I don't care
You're here tonight"
Kagami took her eyes off Fate and they moved to Shugo; holding his gaze for only a moment before they again moved on. Turning to face her partner, Kagami smiled. Konata smiled back. The end of the song quickly came.
"I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
And I can be your hero
I can kiss away the pain
And I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
And I can be your hero"
Silence remained after Shugo sang out the last words, only to be broken by students simultaneously beginning to cheer and whistle. It was a standing innovation. Fate and Shugo blushed as they both bowed, only to receive louder cheers. They made their way off stage and to outside of the changing rooms.
"That went very well," Fate said, blushing.
"Yea, it's all thanks to you though Fate-san, you helped me gain the courage to do this."
"No, I did nothing; you did this all by yourself." Fate smiled, getting a smile in return.
"Shall we head back?"
"Hai."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slowly the number of pairs left to do their acts dwindled down until it finally reached zero. It had taken slightly longer than expected since breaks were needed. Sighing out in relief, Kagami made her up onto the stage with Konata. Double checking their choices, Kagami walked up to the microphone. Everyone fell silent awaiting the results.
"Thank-you for your patience, we will now be announcing who we have chosen to perform on Friday. If you and your partners name are called out, please come onto the stage."
Konata now spoke into the microphone.
"Fate Testarossa and Shugo Kitamura." Cheering followed as Fate and Shugo made their way onto the stage, the cheering not quietening down. They thanked Kagami and Konata and then they bowed again to the crowd.
"Everyone, please quieten down, we wish to continue," Kagami said into the microphone, trying to create order.
"Everyone!" she yelled, but still nothing happened. "List-"she was about to yell again but everyone fell silent. Kagami looked puzzled as to why, looking around at faces she couldn't tell. Lots of the girls had flames in their eyes, jealousy evident. Looking over at Konata, she caught a trace of…jealousy? Pain? Kagami glanced over at Fate who seemed just as shocked as everyone else, but she smiled. Kagami felt warmth cover around her stomach, a warm breath tickling her ear.
"I love you," the voice echoed through the microphone.
