Pikatwig: A Hyperdimension Neptunia fic, and the first solo one that is going on your account aibou.

KKD: Yea… as the Crossover King, this is kinda awkward for me… admittedly.

Pikatwig: Don't worry.

Neptune: *walks in* Man! Am I glad to be having a new story! Also… where did the title 'Sisterhood Stories' come from anyhow?

KKD: Heck if I know. Pika?

Pikatwig: Actually… strangely, it came from an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, specifically Sisterhooves Social… I can't remember if that was the title of the episode, but I think this works.

Neptune: Oh, okay.

KKD: Yea, I think that's the right title of that episode, Pika. So… let's get started. Now where did I put the new Disclaimer making machine?

Pikatwig: I dunno….

KKD: Hmm… *looks into a corner before finding what looked like a printing press.* Ah! Here it is. *dusts the thing off before getting things set for the new Disclaimers*

Neptune: That thing looks so… old… but rad at the same time.

KKD: Yea. Not easy to get a hold of things like this. *finishes setting up the letters.* Pika, could you place one of those blank black Disclaimers screens here?

Pikatwig: Okay… *takes one and places it in*

KKD: Strap it in. *grabs crank* This thing could get wild once we get the text on.

Neptune: Okay! *straps it in before KKD pushes the crank down, and the white text appears on it.*

DISCLAIMERS: Neither KKD nor Pikatwig own Hyperdimension Neptunia and anything else in this story. They belong to Compile Heart, SEGA, Idea Factory, and their other respective owners.

KKD: So, what do you think?

Pikatwig: Neat.

Neptune: It's certainly neat-o.

KKD: Yep. We better put it somewhere to prepare it for future chapters. *unstraps the Disclaimers before they go flying* Look out! It's alive and loose! *The Disclaimers bounce around before crashing into the screen, cracking it, with the rest of us looking at it, until the glass falls and the story starts*

"Hello. And welcome to a world that is hidden from normal human eyes. A place where the video games you know and love are taken into a new realm of existence. Four lands, representing four consoles and companies, the land of Lowee, representing Nintendo, the land of Lastation, representing Sony, the land of Leanbox, representing Microsoft, and Planeptune, representing SEGA. This reality is one of many realms known… as the Hyperdimension, and-"

"Histy!" a voice shouted, opening up a door in the black background, as in walked a fair skinned girl with light purple eyes and a matching shade of shoulder length hair with somewhat messy bangs with many strands sticking up and few framing her face, wearing two gamepad-shaped hair clips, a deep purple dress with lilac lining along the bottom, center, top, and pockets, along with white spiked edging at the hem, a white, short-jacket over this with a big N button, purple plug-like strings, and purple lining and buckles on each shoulder sleeve, around her neck she wore a simple white choker, her lilac shoes having blue and white accents and were also worn with blue and white striped stockings, and on her wrist she has white bracelets with a soft spiked material and small powder blue spots in the center.

"Oh goodness! . Neptune! I'm trying to narrate!" the voice responded, as the girl, Neptune, walked over to a black curtain, showing a girl that was sitting on a floating book-er… tome with a brown cover and a green gem on it, the girl herself being fairylike in size and appearance, a fair skinned (maybe lighter) girl with dull blue eyes and lightly soft blonde hair. Her bangs curling in both directions, with two, longer curled pieces of hair that reach her chest. The rest of her hair is worn up in pigtails held by a white, black, and blue head piece that covers her ears, and a pair of purple and gold ribbons. Wearing a short, well fitting light purple dress with a blue and white tie and white cuffs. She is also shown wearing long white socks and shoes. The pieces surrounding her have also changed and she gains blue and purple wings, "Neptune…"

"I have to ask… how many Hyperdimensions are there?" Neptune asked.

The girl thought for a moment, actually muttering numbers under her breath before stopping, making the taller girl, Neptune, look in anticipation.

"In terms of exact numbers…" the fairy, Histoire, started, getting Neptune excited, "... I actually have no idea."

"HUH?!" Neptune gasped, somehow slipping on nothing and falling onto her butt, "But you're supposed to know everything Histoire!"

"I know all of what this Hyperdimension has in terms of knowledge, it doesn't expand too much beyond many others." Histoire informed, "Now, if you can please leave… I have to narrate!"

"Fine…" Neptune responded, walking off.

"Thank you," Histoire smiled, "Now… where was I? Ah, yes. *clears throat* This reality is known as the Hyperdimension, and one of the girls you just saw, believe it or not, is one of the goddesses of this land, Neptune, the Goddess of Planeptune, or CPU as they are called here (initials for Console Patron Unit). Next, there is Noire, the Goddess of Lastation, Blanc, the Goddess of Lowee, and Vert, the Goddess of Leanbox. The battles of the companies translate here as well… but it was transferred in the form of a literal war between the goddesses. But at this time… there is peace… which… I don't know how much longer it'll last."

Histoire then smiled a little bit, as she looked out a window and then she heard a song begin to play, "Oh… memories…"

(Cue Intro Theme: Dimension Tripper; Neptune the Animation Theme)

*As the instrumental goes on, there was a focus on the sky, with Neptune standing at the ground, a wide smile on her face, before turning to her friends and the fellow CPUs before the camera panned back up and the Title appeared.*

Hyperdimension Neptunia: Sisterhood Stories

Imi fumei moji noraretsu (An incomprehensible code sequence)

*Neptune and Nepgear sat down together, smiling before picking up controllers and playing a game*

Oshiete KONPAIRA (Tell me what what it means, Compiler!)

*Noire and Uni were busy working before Uni tripped and the papers fell all over the two. The two begin to laugh a little bit.*

*Blanc was working on something while Ram and Rom were drawing a sketch of the three of them, until Blanc saw it was drawn on a book. Blanc growled in anger at them, before her eyes turned red as the area around them turned black in her rage as Ram and Rom scampered off*

*Purple Heart flew off, followed by Green Heart, Black Heart, and White Heart before they are seen fighting Arfoire's forces, each with their own weapon before turning to see Arfoire, Rei, Underling and Pirachu. In the background watching, a few girls watched the battle, but they are all silhouetted out.*

*Neptune and Nepgear ran forward, quickly meeting up with their friends at a park, Compa and IF both smiled at the sisters, happily joining the two.*

*Neptune jumped up into the air, cheering the others on before the camera panned to the sky to see Vert, Noire, Blanc, and Neptune posing*

Chapter 1: The Pilot

It seemed like a normal day as Neptune was playing a new game with a girl older looking than Neptune; a fair-skinned girl with long lilac-purple hair almost waist in length with few loose strands of long hair curling down. Her bangs are usually kept neatly brushed. Her eyes are slightly darker. Nepgear's outfit is somewhat similar to Neptune's but with more reserved styling, almost resembling a school uniform consisting of a white jacket-dress with purple lining consisting of thin double white stripes. A white choker, and around her neck is a pale yellow ribbon/ascot like piece with a N in the center. At her chest is a small pink marking while the pockets and buttons are purple. On her right leg is a white belt like purse object and she wears pink and white striped socks with white and purple shoes very similar to Neptune's own. In her hair she wears a single direction pad button. In the game they were playing, Sonic was battling NiGHTS in a Super Smash Bros style of game, and the other girl won the fight.

"No way you're winning today Nepgear!" Neptune shouted, as she looked frustrated, her cheeks puffing out, and gasped in worry as she lost.

"Yahoo! Looks like I won again, Onee-chan," Nepgear, smiling in victory, "Now… about our bet."

"No matter how many times we bet it, the answer is always, no! I will not replace Sonic with NiGHTS as the mascot of SEGA!" Neptune told Nepgear.

"Mou!" Nepgear whined.

Neptune just gave a groan in annoyance, before she turned off the game and sat down, "So… what do you wanna do now?"

"Well… I guess…" Nepgear started, before she got a little bit of a mischievous grin on her face, she then tackled Neptune and began to tickle her, "Tickle fight!"

Neptune started laughing out of control in response to this, Nepgear able to tickle her all over the place, before Neptune was able to pin Nepgear down and turn the table before she began to tickle Nepgear back.

"Onee-hahahaha-chan… please stop…!" Nepgear laughed.

"No way, sis. You started this, so it's your turn!" Neptune shouted, as she began to tickle Nepgear's legs, making Nepgear scream louder in laughter.

Histoire floated over and hid behind the corner leading into the room the two girls were in, smiling at their antics, but then letting out a small sigh, knowing she would have to stop them.

"Alright you two, let's stop this little game, and let's get focused; we have work to do," Historie responded, making Neptune groan.

"Aww… but you said we'd get a five minute break," Neptune responded.

"I did. And it's been a half an hour," Histoire informed.

"Really? Wow… time must've flown by fast… that or my watch is broken."

"Let's go you two…" Histoire sighed, picking Neptune up off of Nepgear and guiding them into another part of their home.

At that moment, two figures were walking towards Neptune's place. One of them is a fair skinned girl with emerald eyes and light brown hair that is about waist length. Most of her bangs are long and reach down to her eyes, curling outwards or inwards to her face, with a split on the upper corner side. A few parts of hair frame her face while more of it reaches her chest, about the length of the hair she wears in a ponytail, held with a leafy green hair piece. She wears a black, tank top and short-short style one piece with silver detailing and a belt around her waist. This is worn underneath a dark blue, oversized jacket with black, silver, and white detailing. It is worn open and has a big loose belt that she keeps all of her cellphones on. She wears matching boots. The colors of her cell phone carriers are blue, light blue, green, black, magenta, white, lime green, orange, and light pink.

The other was a fair-skinned young girl whose most noticeable feature was that she has one of the biggest bust in the group. Her hair a light creamy pink color that is somewhat long and curls along the edges worn with a black headband with a C patched on the side. Her eyes match her hair color. She wears a tan-white wool styled tank top with big neck and un-attached sleeves and matching styled boots, but with small ribbons/fuzzy balls at the top. Compa also wears a red plaid skirt, a black choker with a small heart on it, black-brown kneesocks with light pink heart cut frills, and often carries a black hip purse, and heart shaped buttons. Like her headband, both her purse and the heart on the choker has a C logo.

"So Ai-chan, do you think Neptune and Nepgear can use their break to hang out with us?" the pinkette asked.

"Most likely not, Compa. Knowing Neptune, they'd probably over extend their break and are now working," the other girl shrugged as they arrived at where Neptune and Nepgear lived.

"Yea, you're probably right," the first girl, Compa, sighed before knocking on the door anyway. There was a pause, before the other girl simply pressed the doorbell, just to make sure they were heard.

Histoire soon arrived at the door, opening it to reveal the two girls.

"Oh! IF-san. Compa-chan. It's good to see you two… Neptune and Nepgear are currently busy with their work as CPUs… but I do have a mission that I was about to ask if you two could take care of," Histoire told the two.

"Of course. You can count us in," IF smiled.

"But do come in so I can tell you," Histoire insisted.

Neptune sat at her own desk, simply looking over the huge pile of papers she had to work on, feeling overwhelmed, groaning as she had to look through them all and sign each and every one.

"Isn't this fun?" Nepgear asked, as she was almost finished with her pile of papers.

"...is that supposed to be sarcinism?" Neptune asked.

"Do you mean sarcasm?" Nepgear checked.

"Yea, that," Neptune nodded.

"It's no big deal, really. I can really understand why Noire and Uni like to work so much… but not to the point of exhaustion," Nepgear informed.

Neptune just banged her head against her desk.

'Anything… anything to get out of doing this for the rest of today… please… just one small distraction to get me outta here...' Neptune thought.

As if on cue, Histoire hovered in with IF and Compa, making thw two sisters smile.

"Good morning IF, Compa," Nepgear greeted.

"Compa, Iffy, it's so good to see you two!" Neptune smiled.

"Same here, Nep-Nep," Compa smiled and waved while IF simply turned to Histoire.

"So, what's going on Histoire?" IF inquired.

"It's simply a matter of getting Noire, Blanc and Vert to make an agreement on collaborations in matters apart from video games, I have already managed to get the paper notarized, I just need the signatures of Noire, Blanc and Vert. Do you think you two can head over to the other three nations to get this signed?" Histoire asked, handing the paper to IF.

"Sure thi-" IF started, when Neptune got up from her desk and stood by Compa and IF.

"No problemo Histy!" Neptune smiled.

"And what do you think you're doing, young lady?" Histoire asked in annoyance.

"Gonna go help them out, for old times sakes? I'm a CPU myself, and I should have a say in this paper and knotirization," Neptune stated.

"Notarizing," Histoire corrected.

"And sides, Nepgear can handle my work load," Neptune added.

"Onee-chan~, that's so unfair~" Nepgear stated.

"Did you say somethin'?" Neptune asked.

"...it's so fair that you get to go outside and get this paper done, while I sit inside and sign all of your papers for you," Nepgear stated sarcastically.

"I'm glad you think so too! I'll meet you two on the train to Lastation!" Neptune told Compa and IF as she quickly ran out the front door.

"Nep doesn't understand sarcasm, does she?" IF asked.

"Not a bit," Histoire and Nepgear confirmed.

"Note to self, teach Neptune sarcasm," IF muttered, typing it down on her phone, "Come on Compa, let's go and get this done,"

"Hai, Iffy-chan," Compa smiled, as they headed out the door.

The trio was soon on the train bound for Lastation, with Neptune jumping up and down in the train like a little kid would.

"Man, you two won't believe how good it is to get outta that stuffy office," Neptune smiled.

"You say that everytime you sneak out of there, Nep-Nep," Compa pointed out.

"...well, so what?" Neptune responded.

Compa and IF just sighed in annoyance for a moment, with IF motioning for Neptune to sit down.

"Look, we're not going over to play. We're on a mission, we have to get Noire, Blanc and Vert to sign this paper, and then it's straight back to Planeptune, get it?" IF asked.

"I got it…" Neptune responded, 'Oh no! I don't want this to go on forever again. If we get this done lickity split, then I'll be forced into the office… and on such a nice looking day. I need to get that paper away from them… ding!'

The train soon came to a stop, and the trio headed off of it, with Neptune quickly grabbing the paper they needed to get sign from IF and running off with it.

"What the hell Neptune?! Get back here with that!" IF shouted, as she gave chase.

"If I run, we can get this done a lot faster Iffy!" Neptune shouted.

"I don't care. It's you! You're bound to do something stupid with that paper!" IF responded.

"IF, that wasn't very nice," Compa told IF, "It may be true… but that doesn't mean it's right to say."

IF turned around to look at Compa, but when she looked forward, she saw Neptune was gone.

"Gah! She's gone! C'mon, we gotta find her before something happens to the paper!" IF stated.

She and Compa ran off to try and find Neptune, unaware she was hiding in an alleyway.

"Perfect, and now," Neptune stated, hiding the paper in her back pocket, and grabbing a blank paper from off of the wall, before she sent it right into the air, "A double that they won't notice isn't the paper we need signed."

After she saw the blank paper was a good distance into the air, she walked out of the alley and gave a whistle, getting the attention of IF and Compa.

"There you are Nep-Nep," Compa smiled.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" IF shouted in anger.

'Oh… angry IF. Not good… better deploy the upset strategy,' Neptune thought, as she turned around and made it seem like she was crying.

"Oh no, not this again," IF groaned until she saw tears dripping down, "Oh… oh… uh… I'm sorry for yelling at you Neptune… you know I sometimes have trouble controlling my anger…"

"Iffy… why do you have to be so mean~" Neptune whimpered, making a convincing crying act.

"...*sigh* Look, if it'll make you feel better, we can get some ice cream before we get the paper signed here, okay?" IF responded.

"Uh… I think we may have a problem…" Compa informed, pointing at the decoy paper Neptune tossed into the air, "Uh… Nep-Nep, is that the paper we need to get signed?"

"Huh? Uh…" Neptune started, looking up to see her decoy, 'Let's see… ice cream now, or trick them so we can go on a wild goose chase and have some first chapter fun? Hmm… Meh, we can get ice cream on the way, so… wild goose chase it is.'

"...yes," Neptune said in a squeak voice.

"...are you kidding me?" IF groaned.

"Sorry but I tripped and… then you started to yell at me so I couldn't explain right away… and… I'm sorry!" Neptune responded, before she began to cry.

"Oi vey!" IF groaned.

"But we can go after it! I can see it going!" Neptune informed, as she began to run after it.

"Let's go Ai-chan!" Compa smiled, as they followed after Neptune, the two friends following her. They soon stopped by an ice cream store called 'Royalty Heart Ice Cream' with Compa and IF looking around for the paper.

"Where's the paper Nep?" IF asked.

"I… lost sight of it around here…" Neptune informed, as she looked around, "But… as long as we're here… can we get that ice cream?"

IF gave an annoyed sigh, but realized that if Neptune was going to get serious about searching for it, she had best do what Neptune wants.

Neptune smiled as the three walked in, the sunset backdrop of the place being a nice welcome. Neptune quietly grabbed a flyer for the place, but quickly grabbed a second one, seeing that it mentioned a cheaper prices on Saturdays, and thought it would be nice to keep in mind.

"...three sea-salt ice creams, and on one of them, put a little chocolate syrup on it," IF ordered, the lady behind the counter tallying up their order, being 20 Credits. IF sighed and took out the money needed and got the ice cream to her friends.

"This better be good," IF groaned as she and Compa bit into theirs, and both smiled in genuine surprise, "Salty… but sweet."

"So good…"

"Whenever Histy allows me and Nepgear-nee-chan to get ice cream, we always come here and get this flavor," Neptune informed, "It's one of the best by far…"

Compa and IF just enjoyed their ice cream, with Neptune quietly sneaking out and getting ready to let the second flyer fly, but not before she enjoyed her ice cream, getting some chocolate on her lip, making her giggle. After finishing her treat and disposing of the stick, she let the second flyer fly into the air.

"Minna! I see it!" Neptune shouted, pointing to the second flyer.

"After it, quick!" IF shouted, moving her ice cream out of her mouth, thusly she and Compa followed Neptune, though IF came to a sudden stop, holding her head in pain, "Aw… brainfreeze…"

"Shouldn't have removed it so fast," Neptune giggled before she saw the flyer was out of sight, and they just so happened to be right in front of Noire's house, she then quickly took out the real paper they needed to get sign and showed it to Compa and IF, "Hey! I got it!"

"Good job Nep-Nep," Compa smiled.

"Well… that's a relief," IF responded, holding her head in pain for a moment, "Nep, you go on ahead and get Noire to sign it, we'll catch up in a moment."

"Okie Dokie Lokie," Neptune smiled, heading on for the door of the house, giving the door a good knock and waiting, but much like an impatient child, she was having trouble waiting, tapping her foot on the ground.

"I'll get it," someone said from inside, the door opened up, revealing a light skinned girl with long black (almost light blue colored) hair with most of it worn down reaching her chest with some of it worn in pigtails held with light blue and black ribbons. Her eyes are red, and she was wearing a black dress with milky blue lining, an odd belt like piece with a bow behind it and a big circle with white lining connecting the dress to her collar. She wears long fingerless black gloves with milky blue coloring at the top and similar short boots. On the left side she can be seen with a small device that is most likely a cellphone (or even a PSP in reference to her theme).

"Oh, Uni-chan," Compa smiled, heading up, with IF following.

"Hello there, Compa-san," the girl, Uni, smiled, "IF-san, Neptune-san. What brings you here?"

"Just some business regarding your sister," IF answered.

"Yep… boring business as usual," Neptune sighed, with Uni nodding.

"Noire-onee-chan… Neptune's here," Uni called out.

"Why is she here?" an older female voice asked.

"Official CPU business," Uni responded.

"Is she accompanied by anyone?" the voice asked.

"IF and Compa," Uni informed.

"Let her in," the voice responded as Uni let the three inside, Neptune in awe at the inside of the house, there being quite the number of rooms, very spacious, decorated in a very steampunk yet Victorian style with chandeliers above, and nice furniture, but the building was dark along with pipes everywhere.

"This place always looks so cool…" Neptune giggled.

"You know what we say, we only do everything," Uni responded.

"Too true," Compa nodded, making Uni blush a tiny bit as she stopped by a room with a glass window.

"My sister's just down the hall and in the first room to your left. I need to make sure my gun skills aren't rusty," Uni informed, "Hey… you wouldn't mind watchin' me Compa-san?"

"Maybe another time, I'm kinda busy," Compa responded, "Sorry."

"It's okay… I understand," Uni sighed, as she headed on in and got to practice.

The trio soon arrived at the room that Uni had instructed them to go to. Neptune gave a knock at it, and soon someone opened it, this person being a pale-fair skinned girl with very long black hair about waist length, worn up in long pigtails with two-piece black and blue ribbons. Her bangs are neatly combed, framing her face and she has very noticeable red eyes. She wore a fancy dress consisting of dark blue, white, red, and small amounts of gold lining and buttons. The dress part covers a red with black spiked lining cloth while the breast part is white, along with the skirt which has black lining on both layers. Behind this is a blue bow, matching a smaller one worn around her neck attached to a black and white collar. In the center is a gold piece. It's revealed in an image that this is like a bustier and can be unbuttoned from the front.

"Hello Neptune," the person, Noire, said simply, "Compa, IF. So… what brings you here? Wanted to visit in order to get some new pens so Neptune can actually do her job?"

"Ha ha. You know as well as I do that Lastation has the best pens… but that's not why we're here… right now, anyway," Neptune responded, pulling out the paper, "Histy-chan wanted you and the other CPUs to sign this."

"Oh yes, I remember that… but I was told only Compa and IF would be coming to deliver the paper," Noire replied, "Does Ms. Slacky need a reason to get out of her office and have fun frollocking throughout Gameindustri?"

"Shaddup," Neptune blinked, handing her the paper.

Noire couldn't help but giggle a little bit before clearing her throat and looking at the paper, "So… this paper is about us CPUs teaming up and stuff? Haven't we worked together before?"

"...yea… but… uh… don't question it. It's a simple plot for a pilot," Neptune responded.

Noire just didn't know how to respond to this, and raised an eyebrow, Compa and IF just blinked.

"It's to say collaborations are… more able to occur. Say… diplomatic issues, the CPUs can collaborate on stuff like that," IF informed, "It's just to allow collaborations in areas aside from fights and video games."

"I see… well… in that case…" Noire started before signing the paper, "Why do I get a feeling that this is important for Neptune due to her being… her."

Neptune simply gave an annoyed growl, with Compa and IF walking off with the paper.

"Hey Noire… do you have any blank pieces of paper I can borrow?" Neptune asked.

"Yea… why?" Noire asked in confusion, "Do you need them to actually write up papers or reports of your own?"

"Yes indeedy," Neptune nodded.

"Uh huh… well… glad to see you're finally taking your job seriously…" Noire smiled, handing Neptune some paper.

"Now… as long as nothing stupid happens, we can get this done," IF stated, just glad they were able to get out of there.

"So, I'd assume our next stop would be to Lowee, right?" Compa checked.

"Yea. The train should be heading off soon, so we can go there and get Blanc to sign this paper," IF nodded, with Neptune walking up and following them, looking at the small stack of papers Noire had given her.

"So… did you two know that Lowee has the best ramen in all of Gamindustri?" Neptune asked.

"Yes," Compa and IF nodded.

"Maybe we can get some when we go there," Neptune figured, making IF and Compa blink.

"If we have enough time Nep-Nep," Compa responded.

'Oh… I'll make sure we have plenty of time...' Neptune thought, a mischevious smirk forming on her face as the three got onto the train bound for Lowee.

Later, on Lowee, the trio walked off the train, ready to get to work, Neptune now wearing a big white hoodie-like dress with purple striped cuffs, lining, and a purple hood. The outfit had pale, ice blue and light lilac accents. As well as a zipper section, two big round pockets, a big zipper with an N on it, and strings resembling a plug. And all of that was mainly to keep her warm in Lowee's colder climate.

"Nep-Nep… I really like your other outfit a bit more… but I'm just saying," Compa informed.

"Yea, but again, Lowee's a Winter Wonderland, and this is the warmest thing I had on me," Neptune replied, looking at one of the papers she got from Noire, before lunging forward to get the paper they needed to get signed, and taking off.

"Not again, damn it Neptune!" IF shouted, as the gave chase.

Neptune was once again able to hide in an alleyway.

"Perfect and now… blank's away," she said to herself, sending a blank paper flying.

However, Compa was busy talking to IF when she saw the paper flying.

"Uh… Ai-chan…" Compa started.

"Don't tell me… that baka lost the paper again?" IF responded.

"She did," Compa responded.

"I asked you not to tell me…" IF groaned before they rushed off after it, Neptune giggling to herself before she popped out and joined up with them, "...how can you lose something two times in one day?"

"...dunno," Neptune shrugged, "Butterfingers?"

"Just catch that thing!" IF shouted, as Neptune ran forward and was able to catch it, but she saw she was in front of the ramen hut she had mentioned earlier.

"Hey… we're right by it…" Neptune stated, "And all that running did work up quite an appetite."

"How can you think of food at a time like this!?" IF shouted until she heard her stomach growl, making her blush sheepishly.

"...I think our stomachs can speak for themselves…" Compa stated.

Much to Neptune's joy and IF's annoyance, the three went into the ramen hut to get some food, Neptune smiling at how great it was.

"So warm… so yummy…" Neptune smiled, slurping up the noodles, "Place me in a kimono and let me work here and I'd be a happy, happy girl."

"You'd really do any job if it didn't involve paperwork, wouldn't you Nep-Nep-chan?" Compa asked.

"You could say that," Neptune nodded, as she continued to slurp her noodles down.

IF simply ate her own bowl and just gave a bit of a sigh, knowing A, how much this meal would cost, especially since Neptune was on her fourth bowl, B, that they would be late getting the paper signed, and C, Blanc would get really mad if she knew they stopped for ramen.

"Can you please hurry up Nep?" IF asked politely, the CPU of Planeptune nodding and quickly slurping up the last of her noodles.

"But let's not forget my fortune cookie," Neptune smiled.

"Can you please take it, and read it on the way?" IF asked.

"Okay," Neptune nodded.

After paying, the trio was now back on the trek to Blanc's house, Neptune opening her fortune cookie, and after eating the cookie part, she looked at her fortune.

"'Trickery and deceit will only wind you up in trouble. Be truthful and you will prosper.' Heh… fortune cookies are odd sometimes, aren't they Compa?" Neptune asked.

"But sometimes they're true, I remember one time I got a fortune that read 'Watch the sky, for you will meet a dear friend', and that night, I met you… or rather… you fell from the sky before I found you and nursed you back to health," Compa giggled.

"Well… we're here," IF stated, "Hey… you two go on ahead and get the paper signed… I gotta respond to a text really quick."

"Okay, suit yourself," Neptune nodded, as she and Compa headed for the door, while IF just sat back by the gate, looking around the city, admiring it's Japanese-style feel while also showing a sort of mushroom like village in a way.

Neptune and Compa entered the house, only to hear a young girl talking. They walked over to the living room and saw two young girls, twins in fact. One of them has shoulder length brown and dark blue eyes. She also wore a winter jacket over a plain gray and white overall dress. The jacket is pastel blue, the jacket itself having puffed sleeves and a frilled center part with many golden buttons, a collar with a big bow and six puffballs strategically placed. At the ends of the cuff is white fur lining and a big golden button. She wears a cap like Blanc's and have boots resembling their jackets. She also both wears shoulder purse, the extra color is hot pink.

The other looked almost identical, having longer brown hair that goes down her back reaching her chest. She has dark blue eyes like her sister has. She was also wearing a pastel pink winter coat over a plain gray and white overall dress, the coat having puffed sleeves and a frilled white center part with many golden buttons, with a big light blue bow on the collar and six puffballs strategically placed. At the ends of the cuff is white fur lining and a big golden button. She wears a cap like her older and twin sisters and has boots with a similar color scheme with her coat. She has a light blue purse on her right shoulder, while the other has a pastel pink one on the opposite side (the pink and blue on their color schemes are inverted)

"Rom… you've had the TV all day, and it's been nothing but that silly pony show! It's my turn to watch TV!" the long haired girl wearing pink shouted.

"...N-No! I… want to keep watching… you had TV all day yesterday…" the short haired girl in blue, Rom, told her sister.

"So what?! There wasn't anything fun on yesterday! Today the Adventures of Spyro is on!" the girl in pink shouted back.

"Ram… please… I haven't had TV in days now… you hog it like a pig…" Rom responded.

"So what?! You could watch that pony show all the time online; they upload the episodes as soon as they finish airing on TV. Adventures of Spyro doesn't have that luxury yet, so fork over the remote!" the girl in pink, Ram, shouted back.

"Times like this… I'm greatful I only have Nep Jr.," Neptune whispered to Compa.

"I can see that… and you mean grateful, don't you?" Compa responded.

"Whateves, it's all the same," Neptune responded.

"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT THE HELL UP!?" a new voice shouted, as a short, pale skinned girl with short sandy-brown colored hair reaching her neck and dull blue eyes walked in, wearing a big white cap with light blue ruffles and a brown and gold under and center piece, a white dress with dark brown lining and markings on it. Around her neck is a light blue choker with a single white stripe in the middle and blue gem/badge in the center. She also wears power blue sandals with a white ribbon around in her right leg resembling a bandage.

"And there's Big Sister Blow Up," Neptune muttered.

"I'M TRYING TO WORK, PLUS, NEPTUNE'S LITTLE HELPERS ARE GOING TO BE HERE WITH SOMETHING IM...portant…" the girl shouted, before she looked to see Neptune and Compa standing there, "Oh… uh… hello,"

"Hi Blanc," Neptune waved, "How're ya doin'?"

"Oh… Neptune… Compa… where's IF? Isn't she with you?" the girl, Blanc, asked.

"She's waiting for us outside… for some reason," Neptune informed.

"So… can we please hurry this along so that Iffy-chan won't get sick?" Compa asked, as Neptune handed Blanc the paper.

"We can, as soon as I know what this paper is all about," Blanc responded.

"Just some collab-stuff, allowing us to collab in more than just fights and games," Neptune answered, "It's mostly for laws and the like,"

"And I'm assuming Histoire is making this because-" Blanc began to ask when...

"Make a joke at my expense, I will fight you," Neptune growled.

"Well… you're as angered by my teasings as I am yours. Fair enough. You don't anger me, I won't you," Blanc stated, smiling a little bit.

"Just sign this dumb paper already… please," Neptune responded, Blanc nodding as she did so.

"Give me that remote Rom!" Ram shouted, as Rom ran with the remote.

"...I need to ditch one of them with Vert one of these days…" Blanc muttered.

"Just give em somethin' to do so that they won't focus on silly little sibling things…" Neptune told Blanc.

"...did you just give me helpful advice?" Blanc gawked.

"Well… yea, kinda," Neptune smiled, taking the paper back from Blanc once she signed it, "Nintendo and SEGA may be rivals… but that doesn't mean we can't be friendly rivals…"

"...thanks Neptune, I owe you one," Blanc giggled.

"Oh hey! Before we leave, quick question I have to ask," Compa started.

"Fire away," Blanc shrugged.

"Is that Rayman leak for Super Smash Bros 4 real?" Compa inquired.

Hearing this question took Blanc back, and made her eyes turn white with a black rim around them, "The what leak for Smash Bros 4?"

"Just look online, there's this leak with Rayman in the character selection screen for Smash 4," Neptune informed, making Blanc take off for her computer.

Compa and Neptune headed back outside and they met back up with IF, who was currently putting one of her phones away.

"So… how'd it go?" IF asked.

"We got it signed," Neptune informed.

"...uh… I was talking to Compa and about that leak. Did Blanc confirm it real or fake?" IF inquired.

"Well… yea, we got the paper signed, as for the leak… she… uh… didn't know," Compa informed.

"Darn," IF sighed, as they headed off for the train station to get to Leanbox.

"Hey… do you two know what Leanbox is famous for, apart from it's beautiful landscape?" Neptune inquired.

Both IF and Compa took a moment to think, neither of them having really had to take the time to look at Leanbox, due to being there mainly for mission purposes, so, they gave a shrug.

Neptune sighed at this for a moment, internally fearing there'd be nothing to distract the others with, before she remembered, "It's pastries and fashion."

"Neptune, we don't have time to stop for fashion, so for once, actually TRY to hold onto the paper, and don't take us halfway around the landmass just to get our job done… pretty please?" IF asked.

"...I'll try…" Neptune responded.

Soon the trio arrived at Leanbox, Neptune now back in her normal attire, and were actually still on course, when IF's phone began to ring.

"Hold on a sec, I need to take this," IF informed "Yo, what's up?"

-IF, where the heck are you three?! You've been gone almost two hours now!- Histoire demanded to know.

"Oh… Histoire. G-Gomen, Neptune was being little Ms. Butterfingers and lost the paper, twice! Once on Lastation, and once in Lowee, getting us sidetracked along the way," IF answered, "We're on Leanbox, though, so it shouldn't take us any longer to-"

IF stopped, seeing Neptune and Compa running off.

-IF, you still there?- Histoire asked.

"...and Neptune lost the paper… again…" IF sighed, as she began to hurry after them, "I'll have to call you back!"

The trio was now outside a pastry shop, with Neptune looking at all of the baked goods.

"I really hope that the patisserie isn't such as… overly-dramatic or excessively passionate about his or her work," Neptune stated.

"You'd never know… people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes," Compa stated, as she and Neptune headed on in, when bells and whistles went off.

"Congratulations! You're our 1,000th customer! You win a fabulous prize, a free outfit of your choice from Lumiage Fashion, plus your order today will be free!" the lady greeting customers smiled, making Neptune cheer as she was handed a ticket.

-What's going on?- Histoire asked over IF's phone as Neptune and Compa were placing their order from the pastry shop.

"We're at a pastry shop…" IF informed, "Neptune lost the paper… again, and led us to… 'Belle-Vert Pastry'. Ugh! And now she's going to get a free outfit from some outfit store,"

-Wait… how many times has Neptune lost the paper you need to get signed?- Histoire inquired.

"Everytime we've gotten to the landmass…" IF informed, "She's lost the paper, and we've made detours before she's found it."

-UGH! :( *sighs* -_- Neptune's been faking you two out so she doesn't have to get back to work.- Histoire informed.

"Wait… what?" IF responded.

-Yea… that's why I was only asking you two to do it, so you could get it done without getting sidetracked like Neptune. -_-' ...just… get Vert's signature and get Neptune back here… I'll punish her when you get back…-

"Alright… see you soon," IF responded, hanging up. She felt like she was about to explode, and even felt like her hair would catch fire, but then IF took a moment to inhale and exhale, calming down for a bit as she gave an annoyed groan.

"Here," Compa smiled, handing IF a doughnut.

"Thanks…" IF sighed, as she took a bite out of it, before she saw that Neptune had a box of doughnut holes, cupcakes, mini pies, eclairs, and a huge bag filled with macaroons.

"This just spectacular! Leanbox has the best treats in all of Gamindustri! Come on! Let's get to Vert-chan's place already!" Neptune giggled as she showed the paper they needed signed and walked off.

"Man… Nep-Nep's always so ecstatic when we go to see Vert, isn't she?" Compa asked IF.

"...I never noticed," IF shrugged, "Hey Compa… I'm just gonna tell you this now, Neptune never lost the paper we needed to get signed,"

"...really?" Compa responded.

"She faked us out so we wouldn't get back to Planeptune so soon…" IF informed, before she groaned, "Compa… how long have we known Nep?"

"Almost five years now," Compa responded.

"And yet we still fall for her tricks…" IF sighed.

"...I guess?" Compa sighed as well.

The trio continued to walk, still eating their food along the way.

"Have you ever wondered why Neptune's stomach doesn't get puffy given how much she eats?" IF asked Compa curiously.

"...I dunno. Maybe she exercises a lot… her company is the owner of the world's fastest hedgehog," Compa responded.

"Or maybe all that sugar and stuff goes someplace else?" IF shrugged.

"Maybe it goes into her henshined assets," Compa joked, making IF laugh.

"Okay… that's actually kinda funny," IF laughed, "And maybe that's why Vert's are so big. I mean… this pastry stuff is all on her landmass."

The two just laughed a little about their joke, before calming down once they arrived outside the quiet abode of Vert, seeing there was someone sitting outside sipping tea. This woman having fair skin like many others, being the most curvy and busty of the girls, having long curled light blonde hair with long bangs neatly framing her face. She has sad blue looking eyes, usually not fully open. She wore an emerald green dress with gold markings. Big/loose light green and white gloves and along the top part of her skirt is a big peach/orange bow. Around her neck she wore a big piece of white collar with green lining around the bottom and a very thin white cloth connecting the dress and neck piece together. At the center is a gold circular piece with a small blue gem in the center and tiny red ribbon with gold in the center.

"Hi there, Vert-chan!" Neptune waved, smiling happily as she did so, getting the blonde's attention.

"Neptune-san, it's good to see you," Vert smiled, "So… what do I owe this nice unexpected meeting?"

"First off… I got you some macaroons," Neptune informed, handing a box to her, "Second off… some paper that needs your signature."

"Oh yes, I was wondering when Compa and IF would bring this my way. So… what took so long? You get distracted with the loveliness that is Leanbox?" Vert inquired.

"...maybe," Neptune shrugged, "Not like… something lovely isn't before me right now,"

Vert blushed at this compliment, smiling a bit as the two goddesses stared at each other for a while until…

"Ahem! Not to be rude, Vert-san, but we need that signature as quickly as possible; we've wasted enough time as it is," IF pointed out, handing Vert the paper.

Vert simply gave a nod and wrote her signature down on the paper, before handing it to Neptune, causing the CPU of Planeptune to blush a little bit, before handing the paper to Compa. Neptune just smiled a little, before IF picked her up by her shirt collaer and dragged her off.

"See you later Vert-chan!" Neptune shouted as IF dragged her off, Compa running to catch up with the two.

"Okay, we're finally back," IF sighed before seeing the papers Noire gave Neptune before swiping them, "I'll take those."

"What was that?" Neptune responded.

"Look Nep we need to talk-" IF started.

"Shh…" Neptune responded.

"No, you need to hear this!" IF responded.

"No, no seriously, be quiet," Neptune stated, as she listened closely.

"What's going on?" Compa whispered.

"Monster attack," Neptune stated, as the train came to it's stop, Neptune quickly ran out, with Compa and IF quickly following.

"Oh boy," IF groaned, pulling out some blue blades she held in her hands while Compa summoned a giant syringe. The trio arrived to see a swarm of small blue slime creatures that had a raindrop-like body shape with the ears, tail, and face of a dog.

"Dogoos… that's what's causing a panic?" IF asked.

"Well… they can be threatening to Level 1-ers," Neptune responded with a shrug.

"So… what's our turn order look like Nep-Nep?" Compa asked.

"Hmm… well, how about you first, then IF, then me and we sweep em up!" Neptune responded.

"Sounds like a plan," IF nodded.

"I'm goin' now!" Compa smiled, rushing forward and attacking the Dogoos, poking them with her weapon before injecting them with something that made them dissolve into data. She then dodged something moving close to her, she then looked to see that they were blue and pink colored ghosts with a bow at the head.

"Oh great… those Ms. Blinky things," IF groaned.

"You'd think that the people who own Pac-Man would be kinda ticked by these things," Neptune commented.

IF just shrugged Neptune off and hurried forward and attacked the Ms. Blinkies, taking them out with no problem.

"That was almost too easy," IF noted before they heard a cawing sound, and then they saw some sort of giant partially mechanical bird flying overhead, "...me and my big mouth…"

Neptune gave a smirk, and dusted herself off.

"No need to worry… this is just the job for a CPU Goddess," Neptune smiled, as she posed, "Hard Drive Divinity Henshin!"

She then posed… and absolutely nothing happened.

"Eh? Uh… Hard Drive Divinity Henshin!" she shouted, and still nothing, "...What the heck is happening here?!"

The bird then swooped down and knocked Neptune into a nearby tree.

"Compa-chan… I need healing…" Neptune informed.

"Do you really?" Compa responded, "Or are you just lying?"

"Compa, what are you getting a-" Neptune started, when she saw Compa give her a glare for a moment, "What?"

IF and Compa didn't respond, as they charged forward at the bird, trying to take on the bird themselves, however, it unleashed a wave of fire attacks right at the two.

"Compa! Iffy! What are you doing? You know you can't take that thing on your own! Let me help, I can beat this thing!" Neptune shouted, with IF walking over to Neptune for a moment.

"Or can you, you liar?" IF responded.

"What are you talking about?! I'm not a liar!"

"That's a lie. See?" Compa blinked.

"What're you talking about?! I never lied to you once in my whole life; we're best friends!" Neptune shouted, as she took a hit from the bird.

"...think long and hard…" IF told Neptune, as she jumped up and hit the bird while it was doing a swooping attack.

Neptune had no idea what her friends were getting at, thinking she'd always told them the truth. But then, it hit her. Her actions all throughout the day. The bird then picked her up with it's claws and carried her up into the sky.

"Compa! IF! HELP!" Neptune shouted.

"Tell us the truth, and we will," IF told Neptune.

Realizing she had no other choice, Neptune took a deep breath and then looked to her friends, "OKAY! I'M A LIAR! I'M SORRY I NEVER TOLD YOU! I USED PIECES OF BLANK PAPER TO DISTRACT YOU SO WE COULD STAY AWAY FROM MY OFFICE LONGER; THAT'S WHY I ASKED NOIRE FOR THOSE BLANK PAPERS! I DIDN'T MEAN TO LIE TO MY BEST FRIENDS! PLEASE… HELP ME! I'LL NEVER LIE TO YOU TWO EVER AGA~IN!"

"Better," IF nodded before she used a long range lightning spell to hit the talons of the bird, and then she quickly jumped up and caught Neptune before she hit the ground.

"This outta help you," Compa smiled, as she healed Neptune.

"Arigato gozaimasu… and I can't tell you two how sorry I am…" Neptune responded, tearing up a little bit.

Both girls raised an eyebrow at Neptune, thinking she was faking it.

"...I really am crying this time…" Neptune responded, as Compa looked and sure enough, Neptune had no real way to fake it.

"She's not faking. Bloodshot eyes, quivering lip, genuine tears of sorrow, expression of regret and shaky body." Compa informed.

Neptune sighed, as a purple glow came from Neptune's heart. She took out a purple disk, seeing it was her HDD henshin disk.

"Hey Nep. Remember your fortune from that cookie?" IF asked.

"Uh…" Neptune started, "'Trickery and deceit will only wind you up in trouble. Be truthful and you will prosper.' Really? This has never happened before now… eh… must be a first episode gimmick," Neptune stated, "Hey… can you two leave this to me? I think it's time Purple Heart gets into this."

"Go right ahead Nep-Nep," Compa smiled.

"Guess it's your stage now," IF added.

Neptune smiled and held out the disk, before shouting out, "Hard Drive Divinity Henshin!"

After what appeared to be some purple water ripples appeared, Neptune was surrounded in a black void in her eyes while others saw her turned into a bright white light, before she posed, causing a purple platform to appear under her before it shattered when she jumped. Her clothes turned into pixels as her hair glowed and grew, readjusting itself as her new outfit appeared after the forming of some wings.

When the light faded around her body, Neptune was now in the form of an older-looking woman, her hair having become a dark lilac-purple while her eyes turn blue. Her hair becomes very long and is worn in twintail braids while her bangs and the hair that frame her face are somewhat longer. Her hairclips turn into small black circular pieces with glowing blue x's on them. Her figure is more mature/curvier, only losing out to Vert, her suit resembling a black skintight leotard with purple segments and silver pieces along it. The boots/leg armor were above the knee.

"It worked!" Compa smiled.

"Now that monster is in for it!" IF added.

"Heh, I'll show all my foes the real power of a CPU!" Purple Heart smirked, pulling out a black sword with a long purple blade, and then charging in the blade glowing with a bit of energy. Purple Heart slashed at the bird, causing it to squeal in pain. It then charged forward and began to hit Purple Heart with a barrage of pecks, almost knocking Purple Heart out of the sky.

"Nep!" IF shouted, jumping up and hitting the bird's wings, while Compa quickly rushed in and healed up Purple Heart.

"Minna…" Purple Heart smiled.

"Don't worry… we got your back, we always do!" IF smiled.

"We're your friends… it's what we always do," Compa added in.

"Arigatou… now… leave this to me," Purple Heart smiled, as IF jumped out of the way, allowing Purple Heart to ready her sword for her final attack, "And now for the finisher! Hissatsu Waza: Neptune Break!"

With that, she charged in at the bird, executing multiple strikes, first along the bird's neck, then around the chest, followed by close to the wings, before hitting it with an uppercut slash, flying up and knocking it down to the ground with a purple wave of energy.

"Wow!" Compa gawked.

"That was a 52 Hit Combo!" IF gawked, as the bird blew up in a data explosion, "That's impressive,"

Purple Heart smirked, giving her friends a thumbs up, before she shone with purple energy, reverting to normal, high fiving with her friends.

Unfortunately for Neptune… she was now in punishment time, sitting at her desk working hard… with her legs tied up to the chair, along with her waist and her stomach.

"So… how long does this go for?" Compa inquired of Histoire.

"Depends on what she does shirking. So for today… no more than three hours," Histoire informed.

"That's whatcha get for ditchin' work, Onee-chan," Nepgear giggled.

"Can I take a break now?" Neptune asked.

"No," Histoire responded.

"But I have to go to the bathroom and I can't hold it any longer…" Neptune whined.

"Is that you being honest, or are you just trying to shirk your duties again? Any more shirking for today will get you another hour tacked on," Histoire pointed out.

Neptune didn't respond, jumping up and down to try and get moving to the bathroom.

"Yea… can someone take her to the bathroom?" Histoire asked.

"I'll do it," Nepgear shrugged, as she took the chair and pushed it forward to the bathroom.

"G-Gomen, Nepgear, if it makes up for it, I won't lie anymore…" Neptune stated, as Nepgear led her to the door.

"And that… is more or less a normal day around here. Neptune and Nepgear shirk, I put them to work, Neptune sneaks out somehow, and gets punished. That's how things tend to be around here… it's not everyday, but it's a fairly normal day around here," Histoire narrated.

"Who are you talking to?" IF asked.

"I'm just narrating," Histoire responded.

"Why? There's nobody here but us," Compa responded.

"..." was all Histoire could respond with.

Nepgear waited by the door for her sister to finish her business in the bathroom, sighing at what she ended up doing the whole day, but she started to get a bit impatient.

"Onee-chan? Are you in there?" Nepgear asked.

No response.

"Onee-chan?" Nepgear asked, knocking on the door.

Again, no response.

"Onee-chan, you're in there, right?!" Nepgear asked.

Once again, no response. Nepgear put her hand on the door when…

"AH! I'm still in here Nepgear!" Neptune shouted.

"AH! G-Gomen-ne, I wasn't sure if you ditched us somehow…" Nepgear responded.

Neptune just sighed, as she finished up and walked out, "Okay, now that that's done… is that all the work I need to do, or do I need to keep sitting and working?"

Nepgear just pointed back to the seat and rope, making Neptune sigh in annoyance.

"Just cut to the ending song already…" Neptune said.

*As the ending instrumental began, we see the girls appear, starting with Neptune and Nepgear in their respective HDD forms, initially looking like holograms before they became solid, and started dancing, slowly joined by the other girls.*

I wish deatta kono basho de (I wish we met here, at this place again.)

*Neptune took IF and Compa by their wrists, and they ran off to Compa's house, with Neptune recalling how she met Compa.*

Go fight inochi ga moeru made (Go fight blossom your life as far as is)

*Nepgear walked over and pulled her sister into a hug, before the two were joined by IF, Compa, Noire, Uni, Blanc, Ram, Rom and Vert.*

I don't forget hateshinai tabi e (I don't forget our endless journey)

*Neptune stood with Blanc, Noire and Vert, before the four looked over their four landmasses with smiles*

Promise to you chikai wa hitotsu ni (Promise to you I will be near as one with you)

*Neptune slipped down from something, but before she could fall to the ground, Nepgear caught her, and she was aided by the other CPUs and the CPU Candidates.*

"Kanashimi no kazu dake kizuna ga musuba reru" ("Sadness, sorrow, grief, lament bond with harmony and tied together")

*Neptune and Nepgear were then shown in their room back at home, both of them playing a videogame, with Histoire watching them goof off from behind a corner. Histoire looked at a picture in her tome, and then at the two girls.*

Megami-sama ga oshiete kureta (Goddess please lend me your help)

*Purple Heart stood before the night sky, holding her sword. She looked at it and sighed, seeing there were many enemies before her.*

Everybody now kioku no sora (Everybody now, sky of our memory)

*Purple Heart then flew forward to fight them. She then looked and saw that they were all dead already. She looked up to see Green Heart, Black Heart, White Heart and Purple Sister there, they waved and smiled at her.*

Happiness? Lucky? Your smile?

*Purple Heart giggled and smiled at her friends.*

Darenimo makenai egao ni aitai (I won't give up, till I can see you smile)

*At a cliff, stood several figures that were silhouettes, several of them female,and some of them male. They all looked at Neptune playing around in a park, and they smiled at her.*

Everybody know akiramenai (Everybody know, don't give up)

*Neptune and Nepgear began to dance together, before it cut to show them being asleep at home. It then cut to them working in the office part of their home, Neptune being less than thrilled at this.*

Happiness? Lucky? Your smile?

*Neptune looked at a picture sitting at the side of her desk, which was of herself, Nepgear, IF and Compa smiling.*

Mirai o tsukamou... Love&Peace (Let's grasp the future. Love&Peace)

*She giggled and the camera focused at this as the song came to it's end, finishing off with the girls dancing from the start of this ending sequence, ending with their hands together, the spaces forming hearts.*

Neptune (narrating): Next time on Sisterhood Stories…

Nepgear: I got tickets to 5pb.'s concert!

Neptune, Vert, Noire, Blanc, Uni, Ram, Rom, Compa, IF: YAY!

Nepgear: But… I only have one extra ticket…

Neptune (narrating): So… am I gettin' that ticket Nep Jr.-nee-chan?

Nepgear (narrating): AH! You're just gonna have to wait and see… and all these people doing me extra favors isn't exactly making this easy.

Ram (narrating): This seems so familiar… doesn't it?

Rom (narrating): Kinda does…

Neptune (narrating): Tune in next time to see what happens!

Episode 2: The Ticket Mistress

Neptune & Nepgear (narrating): Keep calm and game on!

Pikatwig: Man, that was fun!

KKD: Yea, and it sure took a while, too.

Neptune: Yea… what was with you two spending time focusing on Lego stuff?!

Pikatwig: I should mention… at the day we finished typing this… er… technically, the day before, I actually built my very first Bionicle toy, the 2015 Onua.

KKD: Well what a coinky-dink, I finally got the urge to get the new 2015 Bionicle sets that same day, starting with Tahu and Kopaka. Now I got this sudden urge to get the remaining 4. I'm not gonna get the Protectors, either!

Neptune: Save the Bionicle talk for Mataranger boys!

Pikatwig: I kinda can't, since somebody will kick me out… *shrugs* Anyhow… overall thoughts on this chapter?

Neptune: I thought it was a blast! ...except for the part where I had to lie to my best friends, and got punished for ditchin'.

KKD: Yea, sorry about that. Plot convenience. But this did establish a lot of stuff without the viewers knowing it. Guess what they are, and when we address them again, check back to see if you're right. In all seriousness, though, I really did like them exploring Gameindustri more, showing off some examples of places on the landmasses. Though I must wonder… if the landmasses are constantly moving away and to each other… why bother having trains?

Neptune: Didn't you know we ditched that system after the first game? I mean… sure, the landmasses are still here, but it's more stable for a train system in this universe…

Pikatwig: She has a point.

Blanc: Also… why was there a joke about that leak, mind me asking?

KKD: Hey, that was Pika's idea.

Pikatwig: And I thought it would be funny.

Neptune: And any word on… any of that DLC stuff for Smash yet?

Blanc: I can't say.

Pikatwig: Anyhow… that bird monster you saw, I actually found it in a pre-release screenshot for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1… not sure if that boss made it into the final game or not… but anyway… that fight scene was kinda a hassle to do… since it took us a little bit to find enemy screenshots.

KKD: It didn't help that even when we had an enemy list, they never gave us images to go with the names… all except for the Dogoos… seriously, why?

Pikatwig: I get they're the Goombas, Motobugs and Mets of the Neptunia series… it's still a little silly.

Blanc: Also… did I spy a little reference to the anime with Neptune's henshin sequence?

Neptune: And a reference to a hissatsu attack from Re;Birth 1?

Pikatwig: Yep, and yep. I felt it was fitting to have finishing moves from the game… and as for the henshin sequences… eh, also fitting.

Neptune: I suppose.

KKD: Yea, I agree. It works, it's better than trying to make up new ones on the fly. So, is there anything else we should point out?

Pikatwig: Favorite part. Mine was the end of the big fight… since it was a tricky scene to do, I like it.

KKD: Yea, that was cool, and it's a close one, but I'm thinking… hmm… you know… nevermind, I'll just agree with you, the final battle was definitely cool, and my fav as well.

Neptune: It was really cool.

Pikatwig: And thus… we're done with the very first chapter. Just Live More!

KKD: Jaa ne!
