Having just started watching Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha today, and having only heard of its parent series Triangle Heart by word-of-mouth, I never would have guessed that Nanoha's siblings secretly had combat chops. This gave me an idea...why not write a fic where the elder children have a sparring match with the youngest one?

Hence, this fic:
