Actions worthy of rewards

"Thanks for helping me take the pictures down Shirou." said Issei while looking at his friend who was currently moving three of the frames to the student council's room. "Thank you to, Sakura."

Sakura, who was taking two of those frames simply nodded with a smile before moving elsewhere.

"Ehmmm, Sakura the student council's room is the other way..." said Issei with a confused expression.

"I know." replied Sakura with the same smile on her face as she continued to go in the opposite direction.

"Don't mind it man." said Shirou before following Sakura.

"You are also going in the wrong direction..." muttered Issei extending his hand, however he simply shook his head and decided to ignore this. He was extremely annoyed at the situation so they could do whatever they wanted with those frames, as long as they helped him take them down he didn't care.

"This must be a message." said Sakura with a smile.

"Indeed!" replied Shirou. "She must be asking us to continue helping others."

Sakura nodded with the same smile. This past two days had honestly been the best of her life, there was no pain any longer, she got to spend time with the guy she liked, she was saved by an actual goddess, her servant Rider came to protect her... everything was like a dream come true.

"You are daydreaming again Sakura." said Shirou, making Sakura blush.

That's right... her crush began calling her by her name, making her blush like a little girl. It got even better since Shirou told her to call him by his name. "I'm sorry about that... Shirou... I was just thinking." she said, her voice getting lower and her blush deepening.

Shirou continued to smile kindly as they arrived to the archery club's room and placed the frames down. "It's fine, we just need to repay what we were given like the purple-haired woman said and I am sure the Goddess will be able to help others as well!"

"Yes!" replied Sakura excitedly as she too placed the frames down. They were planning on leaving them here for now until they figured out how to copy Aqua's face to distribute it during their conversations with others.

On one of the hallways, Rin and Artoria continued walking with awkward expressions, ignoring the stares focused on them. They passed another one of the countless frames that were nailed around the building, but they ignored it and kept moving forward. They took down a few at first, however after the got over a dozen and they still were many remaining they simply gave up and decided to ignore it. They had class so it's not like they could stay all day getting pictures out of walls either.

Looking out through the window of the classroom, Rin saw her sister and Shirou walking while carrying some of the frames, smiles on their faces as they talked about something she could not make out.

A sad smile appeared on her face. She was happy to see Sakura so happy, but at the same time it was slowly consuming her knowing that there was nothing she could do to help. Aqua saved her, Shirou helped her, heck even Caster had done more for Sakura than Rin herself had.

Shaking her head, she decided to focus on something else. Sakura was fine now, she was happy... happier than she could be with Rin.

"Are you okey, master?" asked Artoria, who was sitting next to her.

"Yes..." muttered Rin, still a bit distracted.

"Tohsaka! Christina!" said the professor loudly. "I believe your little... prank was already enough, so there is no need to not pay attention in class don't you think?"

Rin could only spend the rest of the class staring blankly at the board while different ideas kept passing through her head, Aqua had totally made this day impossible for her, so she needed some revenge! That's right, Aqua would usually prank and annoy others all the time, so how hard could it be to annoy her?

After a full school day of avoiding the questions of other girls and the blushes of the boys, Rin was finally heading home with Artoria. She had tried to talk to Sakura several times throughout the day, however she ended up doing nothing.

"Are you sure this will work, master?" asked Artoria once Rin finished telling her the plan.

"I am certain of it!" replied Rin. She spent nearly the entire day planning and she was definitely proud of the results. "She will absolutely fall for it, all we need to do is follow the steps."

"I understand." said Artoria with a determined expression. She too had to spend the entire day ignoring the stares of others and it certainly wasn't a good feeling, it was just so... awkward.

Eventually, they arrived at the temple were they had been staying for a while and began going up the stairs. Once they arrived at the house and headed to Rin's room, they were greeted by an... unexpected sight. Aqua was currently on the bed while a blindfolded woman in a maid outfit was giving her a massage.

Rin felt a vein pop on her head. "Aqua! What do you think you are doing?!" she asked screaming.

"Ahh master, you are here already? That's good, come lie down next to me." said Aqua while tapping the other side of the bed. "Saber, go get on a maid outfit and give master a massage, I am sure her day was stressful so it's time to relax a bit."

Artoria's eyebrow twitched while Rin was simply about to loose her mind.

Aqua had to jump up as her instincts flared up, narrowly dodging a red beam of mana that came in her direction and destroyed the bed.

"M-Master..." said Aqua in a nervous tone. "Calm down master, I am sure we can come to a peaceful solution regarding whatever it is you are mad about."

"You know perfectly well what I am mad about!" screamed Rin while firing more beams.

"I swear I wasn't doing anything with Rider over here okey? She was just giving me a massage!" screamed Aqua while dodging.

"Huh?" asked Rin confused. "I am not talking about that obviously! I mean the portraits all over school!"

Aqua stopped moving and a huge smile appeared on her face as she closed the distance between her master and herself. "Ahhh I see! You loved my surprise so much that you wanted to give me a reward yourself, but you got jealous when you saw Rider touching me because that is exactly what you wanted to do!" said Aqua while nodding her head wisely.

Artoria could only stare at her master who looked as if she had lost all hope.
