Lost but Found Again
Chapter 5
Fun Day Festival
Dear Nanoha,
I'm really excited because the new soccer season is starting tomorrow. Well we're going to be playing indoors right now since it's still cold out, but once the weather gets better we can go outside again. I hope to have another great season.
Enough about me, how are you? I guess you're still busy. Are you working really hard or something? If so, you should take a break. I mean, you didn't even send me anything on my birthday. I'm getting a little scared. If you can, can you write me back please? I want to hear from you. It would make me feel so much better. I love you Nanoha.
Fate
Reading these letters makes me feel worse and worse. How was she even able to manage?
"Hey Nanoha" I look up from the letter to see Fate.
"Hey. How are you?"
"I'm good. I see your reading my letter"
"Yeah. I thought I would read one while I waited" I said putting the letter back in my purse.
"Well let's leave the sadness and let's have some fun" she said dragging me towards the festival.
The Fun Day Festival was held every year in August. There were always fun activities to take part in and always a lot of food to try. I like the fireworks that would come at the end the most. I loved coming, but Yunno didn't. So I was happy that Fate could come since we use to come all the time when we were together.
We made our way towards the bumper cars. It was always our tradition to ride the bumper cars, mini golf and then laser tag. I was happy that when we finally arrived at our destination, there wasn't a long line. I really hated waiting, especially when I had nothing to occupy myself with.
After five minutes, the cars stop and the drivers exit. The operator then opens the gates.
"Come on Fate"
"Settle down Nanoha. You're overly excited today"
"I love bumper cars. You know this"
"I don't see why. I remember the last time we were here you ran into the wall"
"That was when I didn't know how to drive" I pout. "You're going to pay for it"
"Bring it on" We both run for a car.
Fate ended up being ten cars ahead of me. She turns ahead.
"Try not to crash Nanoha" she teased.
"You're going to wish you never said that you meanie" Fate laughs and turns back around in her seat.
My hands tightened around the steering wheel and my eyes evilly glare at the blonde that was going to pay. All I needed was for this damn thing to start. When it did, I zoomed off with Fate in mind.
I maneuvered around the other people driving when they tried hitting me. They were not going to stop me from getting to Fate.
"You're going to pay Fate" I yelled behind her. She was so close to me. She just laughed, which made me even more determined to get her.
My front bumper was inches away from her. I couldn't help the smirk that came to my lips.
"You're mine Fate" I said to myself.
CRASH!
Out of nowhere, this old lady bumped the side of my car, which made me lose control of it and the car ended up getting stuck under the safety railing. I couldn't believe that lady messed up my chances at getting back at Fate.
"Damn you old lady" I said holding my fist in the air. She just giggling
It was embarrassing that I was stuck, but it was even more embarrassing when Fate came riding around. She didn't even say anything, she just laughed pointing her finger at me. It was starting to really get on my nerves when she continued to do it every time she drove pass me. I was really wishing this would be over and I was so happy when it did.
I quickly got out of the car. Fate was already waiting for me. That sick grin she had on her face told me she was going to say something that would bug me.
"I see you still love driving into walls" I pout
"It wasn't my fault. That old lady bumped into me"
"Yeah yeah. Blame it on some old lady" she said teasingly.
"Whatever. Don't believe me then" and with that, I stormed out of the place heading towards the golf course.
"Seriously Nanoha, you need to stop running away from me" Fate said after catching up to me.
"Well stop being the big meanie you are and stop teasing me"
"Okay, I'll try my best not to tease you"
"Good. Now let's go play some golf"
We soon made it to our destination. We paid the fee and received two golf clubs and a blue and black golf ball.
"I'll be talking that" I said taking the blue ball and a golf club from Fate.
"I see you still love blue"
"Damn right I do. I'm sure you wouldn't have let me take the black one"
"You're right"
"You're the queen of everything black" I mumble.
"What was that? I didn't quite hear you"
"Oh nothing. Let's go and play"
We quickly made it to the first hole. It was a simple course. The hole was a straight shot from where we were to start. Fate put her ball down and positioned herself next to the ball and hit it. It went right in.
"Yes. I still got it"
"That was just pure luck Fate. I can do better"
"Oh really. Well go right ahead"
I glared at her before putting my ball where it needed to be. I position myself next to the ball and after taking a deep breath, I hit it. The stupid ball went flying over the hole into the grass. I have to remember next time to keep my mouth closed.
"Hahaha. I see you still can't make the ball go in" I pout.
"It was the winds fault"
"Yeah right. Just admit that you stink at this" she teased.
"Never!"
She was right though. I did suck at golf and it showed terribly. By the time we made it to the eighteenth hole, I already had +30. Fate on the other hand could have beaten Tiger Woods any day. She would always make Par or Birdie, even on the most difficult courses. It was frustrating.
"Yes. Another Birdie" Fate cheered after finishing the last hole. "It's your turn Nanoha" she grinned.
"Show off" I huffed before placing the ball down. I positioned myself next to the ball and right when I lifted the club, Fate stopped me.
"Stop Nanoha. You don't want to hurt anyone, do you?"
"Is it just me or does it seem that your teasing has increase to a dangerous level"
"Well I have a lot of teasing to make up for" she smirks. "But seriously. You're never going to make the ball go in the hole if you swing like that"
"Then how should I swing then?"
She didn't say anything. She just walked over to me positioning herself right behind me. I felt my breath hitch a little at the feel of her breasts on my back and her lower reign being glued to my body. The icing on the cake was when she placed her hands firmly on my hips. I almost yelped in surprise at the sensation. I had to calm down.
"A-and how exactly is this going to help me?" I said dizzily.
"Because" she whispers in my ear. Her breath sent chills down my body. "when striking the ball, you have to move your hips along with the swing" and to demonstrate her point, she moves my hips the way they were supposed to be moved as I swung the club at nothing. "Now" she says while placing her arms around me to hold the club with me. "all you have to do it hit it"
I took a deep breath before Fate and I lifted the club and doing what she told me, I moved my hips as we let the club hit the ball. And it went in.
"Yay" I yelled as I turned jumping on Fate and placing her into a hug.
"Okay okay. Stop trying to kill me"
"Sorry about that" I let her go. "Thanks for helping me"
"No problem. Now that you've only brought your miserable score down by one point, let's go before you embarrassed yourself even further"
"Meanie" I said kicking her in the butt.
"Hey" I stick out my tongue before running to return the ball and club I had.
"Now that was mean Nanoha" Fate said after we returned the balls and clubs.
"So! It's not as mean as you and your teasing. I had to get revenge"
"And I'll get my revenge when we go laser tagging. You're mine you hear me"
"Bring it on blondie" and we both glared at each other before we briskly made our way towards the laser tag building
My mind set that was focused on destroying Fate in laser tag was forgotten when a sign caught my attention.
"Boat Ride of Love. Hmmm sounds interesting"
"Nanoha what are you doing? Let's go"
"Hey Fate, let's go on this boat ride" Fate walks beside me and reads the sign.
"You do know that it's a ride for couples, right?" she looks at me curiously.
"So. I want to get on"
"Okay after laser tag" and she begins to walk.
"No, I want to get on now" I whine.
"Come on Nanoha. I wanted to go laser tagging. I haven't been in awhile" she gives me a stern look and I pout. I knew that was the only way to get what I wanted.
Slowly but surely, her stern look faded. YES!
"You're such a child Nanoha"
"You're wrong. It's only when I want something. Now let's go" I said before pulling her over to where the boat was.
The boat was like those romantic boats the people ride in Italy. I was cute. After paying the fee to get on, the man on the boat helped us in.
"You gals ready?" the man said once we were seated
"Yes"
"Enjoy" and with that, the man used the long stick to get us moving.
I was speechless at how beautiful everything seemed to be. The setting sun glistened on the water. Animals swam on top of the calm surface. Everything just seemed perfect.
"It's beautiful isn't it Nanoha?" I could feel her arm wrapping around my shoulder.
"Yeah it is" I say before leaning closer to her resting my head on her shoulder.
Nothing else was said. I don't think anything had to be said to know what was going on in our minds. We were just so happy to be near each other.
Fate can really be a meanie, but she's warm and sweet. That's what I love the most about her.
~0~
Finally, the fireworks that I had been anxiously waiting for was about to start. I was really excited about it.
"You seem to be really excited"
"Of course. You know that I love fireworks"
"I know. I just hope you're not buying them anymore. Lives would be in danger"
"Fate! It wasn't my fault that it went berserk and caught that woman's hair on fire" I pout.
"Whatever you say, but I know what I saw"
Fate was really asking for it these days. She's such a meanie.
Before I could retaliate, I man with a microphone came on stage.
"Good evening everyone. I hope you all have been enjoying the festival. Now we will have the fireworks. Enjoy" Everyone began to clap and make cheers.
As soon as the man got off the stage the fireworks started going off. I was just in aww. It was such a wonderful sight. I was always amazed every year at how they were able to make things using fireworks. The fireworks made dragons, skyscrapers, people and more. I could tell that the crowd was amazed as well from the ohs and awws that they made.
I glance at Fate. She had a beautiful smile on her face that made my insides warm. She looks really beautiful with the colors shining on her.
I wrap my arms around Fate's arm because I was starting to get cold. She looks at me for a second and smiles before she goes back to watching the fireworks. I still couldn't figure out why touching Fate always made me feel warm. I had never felt that way with anyone else. I was enjoying the feel of her and I began hugging her arm tightly just to feel it more.
I had forgotten about the fireworks at that point. My focus was only on Fate. She felt really good. I never wanted to let go of this arm. To my dismay, Fate removed her arm from me. I would have pouted if she didn't wrap her arm around my shoulder and pulled close to her. I look at her curiously and she just smiles.
"You were cold right?"
"Yeah" it still amazed me how she knew me so well. She always knew me better than everyone.
Resting my head just above her chest, I wrap my arms around her waist. She pulled me closer to her, wrapping her arms around my shoulders, placing her chin on top of my head. I felt at peace in Fate's arms. I was just happy that I could still be in them after all these years.
I look back to see the rest of the fireworks. When it shot off, a red heart appeared. Never had I seen a heart being displayed at the festivals. Was it a sign?
~0~
When I made it home, I felt like I was in a daze….a love daze. I felt like I was floating on air or something. I really enjoyed being with Fate today. She always made me happy.
"You seem to be in a good mood" I was. "The festival was that good?"
"Yeah. I had so much fun with Fate" It seemed that Yunno's face broke down at Fate's name. "What's wrong Yunno?"
"Why didn't you invite me to go to the festival with you Nanoha?"
"Because you don't like going. I don't see what the problem is"
"Nothing. There's no problem at all" and he went upstairs.
I guess Fate was right about Yunno. He's probably scared or jealous, but I didn't really care too much at the moment. I was in such a good mood and I wasn't going to let him mess it up.
I make my way downstairs and grab the next letter and begin reading.
Dear Nanoha,
I called your house today. I wanted to tell your parents that I was coming back to Japan in order to surprise you, but what I was told me was rather disturbing. I was told not to come because you didn't want to see me anymore. Is that true Nanoha? Please tell me that what I was told isn't true. I know that I've been gone a while, but this isn't like you Nanoha. You wouldn't say something like that. Not to me. We love each other Nanoha. I love you more than anything, so please tell me it's a lie. Please write me back. I was told not to call anymore. Tell me please. I don't want to lose you. Never you. I love you Nanoha. Please love me back.
Fate
If I didn't realized that Fate had written this, I would have crunched the paper. My parents not only kept Fate's letters from me, but they also told her things that I never even said. They have really done the unforgivable. This would not go unpunished.
Man this chapter was really a pain to write. I had everything that I wanted to say, but it just wouldn't come to me the way I wanted. So it probably isn't the greatest chapter, but I hope it was okay. Please review of course. Onwards to the next chapter (which I didn't have a problem with )
