[Fanfic] Another Nanoha Christmas Story

Hope it won't dissapoint you guys ^_^

Its gonna be a fluffy story building up to a Chrsitmas party. It'll focus on all the characters and their relationships. Nanoha/Fate, some Hayate/Yuuno on sidelines, and a nice chunk of Vivio/Syn as well as Nanoha and Fate having "Mama moments"

have a teaser

Vivio grinned up at her mother as Nanoha tried in vain to reach the last inch to staple the lights at the peak of their house. "Can you get it, mama?" She called up, unable to suppress the laughter in her voice.

Nanoha grunted, trying her best not to hop on the ladder. Already at the very top on her tiptoes, she kept struggling to make it. "I can get it, Vivio," came the annoyed reply. "Just... one... inch..." After a few more seconds of trying, she rebalanced herself. "Hayate-chan would never know if I flew up an inch."

"Yes I would," Hayate's voice shocked Nanoha enough to grab a hold of the house to keep from falling off the ladder. "You okay up there, Nanoha-chan?"

"Ha-Hayate-chan!" Nanoha looked down and laughed nervously. "When did you get here?"

"Right about the time you said you would fly. You know there are laws, and I am the one who has to take responsibility when you break them."

"It's one inch!" Nanoha protested.

"Laws are laws, Mama." Vivio called up, much to Hayate's delight. "Want me to gt it for you?"

Nanoha puffed out her cheeks and tried again, balancing as best she could on her toes. "No! I have it!"

The shorter woman on the ground looked over at Vivio with a happy smile. "She's still in denial that you're taller than her now."

"She is not!" Nanoha yelled loudly.

Vivio bit back a laugh. "Mama, just come down and let me do it." Her words made Nanoha look down at her for several moments before giving off a sad sigh. "But you always hold the ladder for me while I put up lights..."

Hayate crossed her arms. "And Fate-chan always get that last little bit for you. Admit it, Nanoha, Vivio hit a growth spurt this year. You were complaining about it when you had to buy her new clothes, like her bras."

"Aunt Hayate!" the blonde blushed darkly and resisted covering her chest in favor of holding the ladder stable for Nanoha's decent. "don't say things like that so loudly!"

With a laugh Hayate shook her head. "Hey, be proud of yourself! The first girl to hit double D before the age of eighteen!"

Nanoha huffed at her friend while giving Vivio the staple gun. "Shush, Hayate-chan."

Vivio climbed the ladder and easily stapled the lights to the border. Once done she started working them down and over to the side to finish off that section of the house. "There, all done!"

Hayate nudged her friend softly. "She's grown up into quite the girl, hasn't she."

"Yeah," Nanoha admitted proudly, but her voice was laced with a bit of sadness. "I can't beleive I've had her for almost eleven years now..."

"Believe it," Vivio told her happily. "And next year I graduate high school. I wonder what apartments I should look at?"

Hayate covered her mouth when Vivio winked at her. Nanoha, on the other hand, crossed her arms firmly. "You're not moving out."

"Sure, sure," Vivio was robbed of her teasing when a truck pulled into the driveway. "Fate-mama's back!" Running over to the truck, the girl looked at the large Christmas tree in the back. "Wow, its huge!"

The blonde opened the passenger side door while her brother got out of teh other side. "Its nine feet."

Nanoha put a hand to her chin. "Will it fit with the star on top?"

Fate nodded. "Yes, our ceiling peaks at twelve feet near where the tree will go, so it will be fine."

"By the front windows?" Chrono asked curiously, letting down the tailgate.

Nanoha shook her head. "I thought we decided to put it near the back wall?"

"No," Vivio disagreed. "You decided that. Fate-mama and I agreed on the front window. Out numbered two-to-one."

Hayate clapped her hands before Nanoha could pout. "On that note, lets get this lovely tree into the house! Ami asked me to make sure dear little Chrono would make it back in time to go shopping with her."

"Shoot me," Chrono muttered under his breath while pulling the tree from his truck bed. "Why do I have to do the hard work, you girls are stronger than me anyway."

Vivio helped with the middle of the tree. "Because your the boy, that's why."

"What about Yuuno?" the male grunted while carrying the tree with Vivio's help, lead by Fate near the front while Nanoha and Hayate discussed placement as if they had a choice in the matter after the two blondies made up their minds.

"Yuuno-san doesn't count," Vivio answered the question. "He's more female than Syn."

"That's not saying much," Fate mused absently. "Okay, Brother, can you make it into the tree stand?"

"Don't call me that," Chrono struggled to get the trunk into the stand. "It's embarrassing."

After watching the small group struggle for a few moments, Hayate finally voiced her thoughts aloud. "Did you cut the tree yourself?"

"No," Chrono sighed out as the tree finally fell into the stand. "We just picked it out."

"Because," Hayate pointed at it. "Pre-cut trees need to be trimmed on the bottom so they will drink the water and absorb the nutrients."

Chrono looked at Hayate and then to Fate. "You're kidding, right?"

"Knew I forgot something." Fate bopped her fist onto her palm. A small silence passed through the group before everyone looked at Chrono again.

"For the love of..."
