* Hayate embracing a badly wounded and clutching a shattered Device Vita in episode 25. "[[IronicEcho Cloud Knight Vita and Iron Count Graf Eisen... There's nothing in the world... that they can't destroy.]]"

** Which is also somewhat terrifying, considering this conversation took place WHILE Nanoha was charging up a quintuple Starlight Breaker, the strongest attack that has ever been seen in the series before or since. Which she FIRED AT Vivio. Granted, that was the only way she had to save her, and at considerable risk to her own health.

** In one episode, Nanoha encourages Vivio to stand up on her own after she trips over. In the finale, [[spoiler: after Nanoha and Vivio have been [[IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight forced to fight each other]], culminating in Nanoha hitting Vivio with her strongest possible non-lethal attack, the reverted-to-normal Vivio is collapsed in the resulting crater]] and Nanoha tries to approach her, only for Vivio to tell her to stay back. It's a heartbreaking moment, until she continues, "I... I can stand on my own." and Nanoha realizes that, instead of being afraid of her, Vivio is trying to make her mama proud of her.

---> '''Vivio:''' ''(crying her eyes out)'' "Mama... ''Save me!''"

** In a flashback in episode 22, Schach tries to talk Nanoha into giving up on the idea of finding a good mother for Vivio, knowing full well that she's the perfect candidate for that. Nanoha gives all sorts of self-deprecating reasons, including her love of flying and how she'd "already been shot down once", looking rather melancholic about it... at which point Vivio, not wanting to see her mama be sad, comes to cheer her up and pats her on the head. With one gesture, Vivio melts her (and every viewer's) heart and shoots her down again.

** Vivio is clinging to Nanoha, who is telling her she'll be her mama. Fate intervenes, and notes that she's also her mama, in a way. Vivio, of course, looks pretty confused, as, like most kids, she seems to believe one should have [[HideYourLesbians one mama and one papa]]. She starts almost crying in confusion, and calls out, "Mama?" to which both Nanoha and Fate answer back, in perfect unison and the sweetest tone imaginable, "Yes?" Vivio [[HasTwoMommies finally gets it]], smiles with still-misty eyes, and hugs them both.
*** Actually, it seems you got that scene mixed up with another equally heartwarming one from Episode 14. On the previously described scene, Vivio just asks "Nanoha-mama and... Fate-mama?", then "Mama?" to which both of them respond in the way above described, each holding one of her hands and she smiles. On the second scene that I am referring to, Nanoha and Subaru are trying to explain to Vivio that Nanoha is going to be her guardian, and the girl obviously doesn't get it, so Subaru says that Nanoha is going to be her mother, Vivio asks "Mama?" a few times to which Nanoha finally says "Yes?", and then Vivio jumps into her arms and starts crying, clearly in happiness and relief as has finally found her Mama. D'awwwwwwwww X 2!
** Vivio sees Fate-mama's pictures of Precia, her birth mother, and Lindy, her adoptive mother. She seems a bit confused as Fate explains how one gave her life while the other raised her, but then finally pieces it together, realizes that Fate, like her, [[HasTwoMommies has two mothers]], and gives a smile that would melt even the coldest heart.
*** The phone call with Lindy beforehand was rather sweet as well; a little bit of business, but mostly just a mother and daughter being... well... a mother and daughter.

* After Signum and Agito enter [[FusionDance Unison]] in the end. "Agito, I feel warm when in Unison with you..." Agito doesn't answer because she is too busy wiping off sudden TearsOfJoy.
** [[EarnYourHappyEnding Well-deserved tears of joy]]; she finally found her perfect Unison partner, just like Zest hoped she would.

-->'''Erio:''' ''(blasts Fate with electricity)'' "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
-->'''Fate:''' ''(gently holds Erio despite burns on her hands)'' "See, Erio. Right now, you're full of unhappy feelings, and thoughts of unforgivable things. I certainly wouldn't be able to understand all of it. But I want to try and understand at least a little. I think we can share some of our unhappiness. I was the same as you, Erio. Told I was unneeded by the person I loved. Told I was a failure. It was painful, and lonely. I felt like dying. But, unhappiness doesn't last forever. Fun things, happy things, if you look, you will certainly find them. I'll help you search. So please, don't hurt others in your sadness."

-->'''Fate:''' ''(salutes)'' "So it’s okay. Give us your orders like always with pride in your heart."

* Teana's "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." as she sobs in Nanoha's arms after falsely believing that she held her back out of fear she'd surpass her, then discovering that Nanoha's real motivation was to [[spoiler:protect her from the same hideous injuries that have befallen Nanoha herself due to constant overstraining]] and that Nanoha had long arranged her training in the very same direction she wanted to go herself, if only she had a bit more patience. Seriously, what can be cuter than a die-hard {{Tsundere}} in a situation like this?
* Almost every scene with Vivio. [[{{Moe}} She's just that adorable.]]

* When Fate has been paralysed by Scaglietti's BreakingSpeech about how she's treating Erio and Caro just like her mother treated her, Erio and Caro counter by giving a YouAreNotAlone speech about how much they love Fate for all the things she's done for them.

* Toward the end of Episode 13, there's a nice friendship moment between Hayate, Nanoha and Fate.
-->'''Hayate''': To me, you’re the people who saved my life and my beloved friends. I don’t know what will happen to Section Six, but…
-->'''Fate''': You already told us that when we joined. Both Nanoha and I chose to be here knowing that. It’s okay.
-->'''Nanoha''': Besides, getting me into the instructors’ squad and setting up Fate-chan’s examinations were things you and your whole family was instrumental in.
-->'''Fate''': So now we need to help you achieve your dreams.
-->'''Hayate''': That’s no good, we’ll keep helping each other forever.
-->'''Fate''': That’s what friends are for.

** The morning Nanoha wakes up and notices Vivio sleeping next to her on the bed that Nanoha and Fate share. She gets up to get ready for work, and Vivio starts whimpering in her sleep when she notices that Nanoha is no longer next to her. Nanoha then picks Vivio up and places her next to a sleeping Fate. Fate then, [[SleepCute without waking up]], turns and holds Vivio. Nanoha then smiles and leaves for work.
** In one episode, Nanoha encourages Vivio to stand up on her own after she trips over. In the finale, [[spoiler: after Nanoha and Vivio have been [[IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight forced to fight each other]], culminating in Nanoha hitting Vivio with her strongest possible non-lethal attack, the reverted-to-normal Vivio is collapsed in the resulting crater]] and Nanoha tries to approach her, only for Vivio to tell her to stay back.

** Vivio, in tears, tells Nanoha that [[spoiler:she's not a real person, that Nanoha and Fate aren't her real mothers and that she deserves to die because she's a PersonOfMassDestruction who only had one purpose, which was powering up a massive warship. Nanoha shakes her head and tells her that no matter how Vivio was born, she's still the little girl that Nanoha had been taking care of and the girl in front of her wasn't fake or a monster or anything like that]]. Nanoha then asks Vivio what she truly wanted.

* The manga [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_shoujo_lyrical_nanoha_strikers_the_comics/c009/14.html shows]] how Fate met Erio, after saving him from an unethical research institute. Discarded by his parents and realizing his existence was fabricated, Erio violently lashed out at anyone who got close. Fate pays him a visit, and tries to talk with him.
-->'''Fate:''' Erio, you can't just flare up at people like that...

* The scenes of Zest, Lutecia, and Agito in the third Sound Stage. The fifth track in particular, which begins with Lutecia being adamant about reaching the next town before lunch for the sake of Agito even though she was dead tired, leading to Zest giving her a piggyback ride so she can sleep on his back while he carries the both of them there. It's just a sweet scene that shows how much the three of them care for one another, which also makes this a bit of a TearJerker if you listened to it after ''[=StrikerS=]''.
