To get away and relax a bit from my fics that I am working on, I'm going to have a short ficcy just for fun. This is a small CYOA that will be just a few parts long. Although it is a CYOA, it has a slightly more serious tone to it though is still romance. Vivio is the main star here and its up to everyone here to decide the outcome of this important moment. Please make your vote BOLD AND RED
"Vivio?" Nanoha's voice came as she peeked her head into her teenage daughter's room, seeing the girl laying face down on the bed. "I've been trying to contact Kris for a few minutes now, its time for dinner."
"I'm not really hungry," the reply was muffled by a feather stuffed pillow. No other words were said, but Nanoha still walked over and sat down on the bed. The teen felt a hand on her back so she moved to rest her cheek onto her pillow. Looking up at the curious expression on her mother, Vivio let out a small sigh. "Mama... I feel strange."
"Tummy ache?" Nanoha asked lightly, trying to remember if she made sure her daughter got her flu shot this year.
"No... Its just..." A small sigh made her hair flutter up and fall back onto her face. " The winter dance is coming up next week, you know?"
Nanoha felt a small smile come onto her face, which was quickly repressed. "Yes?" She tried to sound encouraging, knowing full well that Vivio had already turned down several requests to be escorted.
"I..." Closing her eyes, she tried to voice her feelings. "I got a letter in my shoe locker today."
"Oh?" Nanoha's hand lightly scratched Vivio's back.
"Einhart... She asked me to go with her in a letter..." Reaching out slowly, she pulled the letter from under her pillow and lifted it up.
Nanoha took the letter and looked at it with a smile. The stationary was a bright blue and white with snowflake designs. Perfectly written letters were neatly on the lines in a graceful calligraphy style, making the mother smile at the time it must have taken to write. The message itself was rather long, but strangely to the point, addressing the fact that she was humbly requesting a real date. The ending confirmed that a turn down would be understood and respected but wanted the chance to try and develop a closer relationship with her if possible. "Its a lovely letter," Nanoha finally spoke. "She must have written it several times."
"I know," Vivio's voice was laced with joy, which only made Nanoha more confused.
"Are you afraid it might not end well and hurt your friendship?" Nanoha went back to rubbing her daughter's back encouragingly.
"No, its not that... I read it after school while waiting for Syn to walk home with me. Einhart ran ahead of course...But..." Red and green eyes turned to look up at her mother. "Syn... On the way home, asked me to go with her."
"Oh," Nanoha's eyes widened slightly. "A real date?"
"Syn... doesn't like dances. She actually wasn't planning on going to it at all."
"What made her change her mind?"
Vivio took a long inhale through her nose. "She knew Einhart asked me..." The hand on her back stopped moving, so she confirmed the thought before it could be voiced. "Syn... told me she didn't like the idea of me going with somebody else."
"That's..." Nanoha felt a little bit of annoyance towards the blue haired girl.
"That's just how Syn is," Vivio defended her friend. "It was okay when other people asked me but... She knows Einhart really wanted me to go with her as more than a friend and... she told me that she wanted to be closer to me more than anyone else and felt as if she would lose that chance if I went with Einhart... In her own little way, Syn is trying to say that she likes me, even if she's too... Syn-like... to say it."
"I see..." Nanoha wished, more than ever, that becoming a parent came with the answer book to all of her daughter's potential problems. "What do you think about this?"
"I don't know what to think... They're both my best friends, and all at once it just..." Another sigh came and she closed her eyes again, resting on her pillow. "I just don't know."
The mother kept her eyes on her daughter laying on the bed and tried not to sigh as well. "How long do you have to answer?"
"The dance is this weekend."
This time Nanoha gasped. "That doesn't give us long at all!" She thought fast, going over picking out a dress, matching things to go with it since Vivio didn't have any formal wear, and trying to think if they could get her a make-over in time. Once she got over the fact that she was jumping the gun a little bit, she settled down enough to re-address the situation. "Okay... Do you... feel for either of them?" The idea of Vivio going on a date was nothing new to her, as the girl had been out a handful of times with random people, but the thought of her little girl actually developing feelings was something she hadn't pondered on.
Vivio didn't answer at first. Instead, she gave a small hum to encourage the comforting back scratching to resume. After a few moments went by, Vivio opened her eyes and looked across her bed and over to the picture on her nightstand showing her with all of her friends. "The thought of turning either one down and making them sad really makes my chest hurt, but lying to either one also feels bad... Mama... I think I like both of them." Nanoha felt her heart break when Vivio's helpless look went up at her, honestly expecting for the mother to have the answer ready to give. "What do I do?"
"I... I think..." Nanoha tried to force a smile. "I think right now you are putting too much on yourself. Come downstairs with me and try to eat a little bit and calm down. Once you've had a moment to settle you can look at the situation with a new perspective."
The daughter slowly nodded and pushed herself up from her bed before being helped to her feet. "Okay... I'll give it a try."
A.)Eat dinner, then practice Strike Arts to clear Vivio's head.
B.)Eat dinner, then go take a walk to get away from everything for a moment and think.
B.) A typical choice.
B too ^^
I'm not sure if using bold and red format for the vote is something necessary, since this thread is specifically for this fic and counting votes should be easy. Anyway, if people doesn't know how to make bold red letters, just copy/paste this: [color=red][b][size=15]write your vote here[/size][/b][/color]
And thanks for sharing this fic with us, Satashi~
Then I will choose...B, a good walk is always a good way to think, at least for me.
Ok i'm going to vote for ...
A.)
coz its a more Einhart route? ^^
Give me a C, because I don't think that Vivio should give preference to any of them if she doesn't know how she feels.
Also, a question to the people posting in this thread: do you see the borders of the posts in this thread in pink color?
its a definate C. for me as well.
Vivio have to decide it herself.
She's too indecisive now to make a choice, so C it is.
And yes Haru, I saw magenta borders on the post.
Maybe if she talks with them she could clear her thoughts.
Let's start with Einhart A
why? because she is the reason I'm reading this fic. ^^
edit: I almost forgot Haru. Yes, they're pink.
A for me
I choose C, because Vivio hasn´t feelings yet clear.
And Haru, I see magenta borders too.
I think I will choose C. Nanoha might be angry If I choose A or B. Hehe
the answer is of course C.
i hope no one poke fun of vivio and voted for D.
I choose C, I don´t think Nanoha will choose the other options xD
I choose B., please, Nanoha, Fate, don't kill me, I'm sorry !!!
Give me a C please, I don't want our sweet Vivio to take after her mamas in this subject xD Thanks for including Fate in this chapter by the way ^^
:,)
If I was Einhart, I'd done the same thing as her, and slap Vivio senseless.
I was sure the D woud've won with the guys at AS-Nano, I find the end really disappointing. *sighs*

Yeah, it's a pity that a good fic must end this way. I was enjoying of this story and hoping to see more of Ein... well, maybe next time.
I'm going incognito~ I considered a mustache but it'd be itchy.

Ouch. I hope they will stop fighting and be lovers again
