[Ah, nope, sorry - you're just getting a view of Tsubomi's room... oh, wait, there's her hand, waving.]

Ohhh, so tired... after everything that's gone on - the show, not sleeping, those monsters showing up... I think I'm ready for a vacation.

Too bad school's back on. I wouldn't mind going back to the beach...

O-Oh! Sorry, everyone...

[And Tsubomi slowly slips out of bed and trudges to her computer, typing in a few things...]

[Fail!Locked to Hayate]

Hayate, are you okay? I didn't expect everything to happen so fast. Or to have to rescue you so quickly. Though... I'm curious. I saw some other people out there besides me, you and Aqua. Were those your family?

WHAT?! What then... I... I don't even... what's with Book then? Why is it going to do that?

[Hayate had really no idea what the book was truly capable of.]

[Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

If we knew why it did that, people probably would've stopped in one of the other times it got completed and destroyed everything!

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

No... there has to be a way... a way to complete it without sacrificing anything...!

[Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Hayate-chan. This... this has been going on for years. Every single time it's completed, the Book goes berserk and destroys everything.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

But how... I don't know I... I'm going to lose everything then... my family, my life... how can I just sit by and watch everything be destroyed because I want to live!

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Hayate-chan! You're not listening to me, even if the book is completed, it's still going to kill you! No matter what, you can't let them complete the book!

We'll... we'll try to find some other way, I promise.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

I... I....

[Hayate took a deep, shuddering breath and nodded.] Okay. I'll... make sure they don't do anything, just to be safe. And you guys can handle it. I promise.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

[ Nanoha lets out a sigh of relief, before thinking about what they can possibly do next. ]

Okay. Good. Thanks Hayate-chan...

I promise that we won't give up, that we'll find some way to stop this and keep you safe.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

Okay... I'll try to make them see reason. I know they mean well, it's just, well... they're doing what they believe they can do to keep me safe.

I can't fault them for that honestly.

But try to find a way, please. I don't want this to go bad.

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Umm.... I know that you care about them a lot and all, but are you sure they don't know what happens if the Book is finished?

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

From what I've been able to pry from them, completing the book will give me unlimited power, and I wouldn't be able to be touched by manipulation. I'm sure they also mean well. And it seems like they seem unaware of the Books true nature.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

I... I see.

[ She frowned as she thought about it. As if this stupid thing needed to get scarier. ]

I'd... I'd ask them if they remember what happens after the book gets completed. Maybe something's... well, wrong there.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

All right, I'll ask them. I hope I can get a straight answer from them. It would be bad if I couldn't.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Okay...

[ That's really all she could ask, after all. ]

I'll... I'll make sure to go check with Chrono to see if we've figured out anything that we can do to stop this yet.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

All right, and thanks Nanoha, for worrying about me.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

There's no reason for you to thank me for that Hayate-chan. That's what friends do!

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

Hehehe yeah, we're friends! There's nothing that'll change that.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Nope! Nothing!

... Anyway, I'll talk to you a little bit later. Once we know what we need to do, okay?

Re: [Not locked at all]

[lil_tanuki]

Okay, I'll talk to you later then. And good luck.

Re: [Not locked at all]

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Thanks Hayate-chan. Talk to you later.

[ And yeah, now she's going to go ahead and disconnect, because she really needs to go figure out just HOW she's going to save Hayate and the world. ]
