Chapter 3

Nemow was bored.

Not that he wasn't happy, being in a family comprising of Neptune, Nepgear and Histoire, but... The cat was bored. It was especially easy to get bored when your a cat. It was laying down after eating a particularly large portion of food that evening and was about to fall asleep...When-

"Nemow?"

Nemow's ears perked up as it looked in the direction of the owners voice that spoke its name - It was a girl wearing a green leafy bow in her brown hair... Hmmm... The bow...

"You got a cat...Awww! So cute!"

Nemow looked to his left and saw a girl with peach colored hair kneel down and offer to stroke him, which he gladly accepted. Hey, in this line of life, you had to be grateful for whatever (and whoever) you came across! And it was nice...This kind of petting was nice...So warm...

"Compa...Could you please focus here? I'm trying to understand why Nep of all people was interested in buying a cat and a plant..." The brown haired girl sighed at her peach haired friend.

"Maybe she just wants something to focus on? She has been under stress lately Iffy. You know that by now right?"

"Pfffft. Nep? Stressed? Really?" The girl known as IF shook her head. "I think she could just be trying to hide something...or, I dunno. She could just be trying to find an excuse to stay away from work."

"Calm down Iffy. I'm sure Nep-Nep wouldn't want you to be thinking about her in that suspicious attitude."

"Really Compa? Who's side are you on? Meh...Whatever. I don't wanna think about it." IF took out one of her many phones out of their phone holister and sat down on a sofa...Wrong move.

Nemow jumped onto the side of the sofa and purred, when IF paid the cat no attention, Nemow pounce at IF's head, aiming for the green bow...Causing a reaction from IF.

"Iyah!" IF exclaimed putting down her phone and reaching up for the cat. "Get off of me! I never did anything to you!"

When the cat started to purr, IF felt a blush try to betray her. Nemow felt like a soft cusion resting on top of her head.

A vibrating one at that.

Compa smiled from her position nearby. "Awwww, That's so cute!"

Click.

IF froze and looked in the direction of the clicking sound, only to find Nepgear with her N-Gear pointed at her. "Gear...? Why did-"

"Because you look like you belong with the cat on your head!" Nepgear clarifyed for the confused IF. Actually, was it just her, or was Nepgear glowing? And what's with the sparkly effects!?

Compa tilted her head to the left in amusement while IF now KNEW there was a blush on her face.

"I have to agree with Ge-Ge on this one Iffy. You two look so cute together!"

IF sunk into the cusions while Nemow played with the green bow in her hair.

This...

Was going to take some time getting used to...

Histoire had gone shopping.

Now, ordinarily it would be easy to go shopping - She'd go to the shopping centre, find the immediate needs for Neptune, Nepgear and possibly herself (!) and order it for delivery...But because of the mountain of food Neptune...*ahem* Nepgear had made for the cat and everyone else, they were really low on food supplies.

Histoire sighed. "More like nothing left..." She said to herself.

Histoire looked up at the food store to find it was going to close in around 40 minutes, leaving not much time for the tome to find what she needed and order for some kind of delivery...She might end up needing to calculate the quickest way to get the things she needed and organize the delivery process...This...

Was not going to be easy.
