Another small one shot here.
Rom had been wondering around the nation of Planeptune, and she had settled at a small shop. She was so sleepy. So sleepy that being awake started to hurt, the other thing was that she didn't realise she was in a book shop...
Rom looked at the book in front of her as she settled down onto a sofa, taking her hat and coat off as she did so. Placing the blue coat onto the back of the sofa.
She yawned as she sat down.
Bad mistake.
The moment she sat down she fell asleep. Completely forgetting about the book she had in her hand which balanced delicately on her right leg as she couldn't stay awake any longer.
This was bad.
She was far away from where Blanc and Ram were - They weren't with her as Ram had been naughty for awhile and Blanc decided to take her home...Forgetting about Rom for some weird reason.
Maybe Ram would remind Blanc about her? Who knew...
And to Rom's mind - Who cares. She was on a soft comfy sofa with the Sun gently beating down on her from behind, onto her neck.
She was warm, safe (as she was in a shop) and comfortable.
[Rom's Dream World...]
Some would not know the kind of dreams Rom would have, but in Rom's dreamy state this time was a big...Rather big fluffy bear. It was around half the height of Rom and it was currently cuddling her. Rom smiled as she hugged it back.
"Bear...Mmmmm..." She giggled.
She could stay like this forever...It was so peaceful...So beautiful...
If only she could share this with Ram and Blanc...Or maybe Miss Nepgear...
Nah, this was for her and her alone.
And she...For some odd reason...
Liked it that way.
[Meanwhile...In Lowee...]
Ram looked around as she settled down for dinner that Mina had made. "Wh...Wait a second- Where's Rom?"
Blanc blinked at Ram, thinking she would have kept an eye on her. "I don't know - Don't YOU normally keep an eye on her? She's probably in the Basilicom somewhere...Or maybe she went for a walk?"
Ram nodded slowly as she began to tuck into dinner. "Maybe..."
Mina lookedto Blanc and the pair had an almost telepathic message to one another - They would go looking for the young Lowee-ian if she was no-where to be found after dinner.
[Planeptune - With Compa...]
Compa walked very slowly away from the shopping centre, she was carrying shopping for Neptune. Recently, her purple and white perka dress had broken in a few places, so Compa offered to sow it back together again. Which Neptune was thrilled with...Although IF had told her just to buy a new one...As the old one was getting tatty anyway.
Compa, being Compa, refused this. Instead she decided to get a sowing kit and do it herself.
Compa blinked as she looked at the time. "Gosh, it's nearly 6PM! I'd better get back before the evening hits..." Compa walked a little quicker but then stopped as her eyes settled on a rather...Flustered store owner.
"What's the matter Alfred? You seem...Worried?"
"Alfred" who Neptune would call an 'NPC' looked to Compa. "I am! I just realised, before closing the shop, that there's still a customer in here and...Well, you should see for yourself-"
Compa nodded and headed inside the book shop, rounding a few corners and then she stopped again. Her eyes settling on a rather adorable looking picture;
Rom was sitting on a sofa...More like laying down on it now - With a soft smile on her face and the Sun warming her body slightly. It was simply...Too cute for words.
Compa put her shopping down to the right of her and approached the Lowee Candidate with her "gentle ways" as IF would put it.
"Rom?" Compa whispered. "Rom? Hey, its time to wake up..."
Rom didn't respond.
In fact, she wasn't even moving...Her chest wasn't going up and down either like it should have been.
Oh...No...
Compa felt her heart start to sink and her brain panic. Tell her Rom didn't...Just... She stepped closer and put a hand on Rom's chest where her heart would be...
Compa's blood felt like it was starting to go cold as outside the weather started to change. It was getting slightly colder. Which was odd for this time of year...
Compa took in an uneasy breath and slowly picked up Rom, putting her arm over Compa's shoulder, she asked Alfred to carry the shopping - Which he did. He didn't have to, but he did.
Maybe Histoire would know what was wrong with Rom?
No point asking Neptune as it wasn't pudding related, and Nepgear would only try to turn poor Rom into a robot, despite what she may think about all dead people being able to turn into robots...Which Compa thought was unrealistic...But still.
[Planeptune - Basilicom...]
"I'm...Back..."
IF took a look to the door, from her position on the sofa before immediately getting up. "What are you doing!? Why is Rom with you!?"
Compa placed Rom very gently down onto the sofa-bed in front of the TV and looked to IF. She turned the TV off as she did so.
"No time for questions! Is Histoire around?"
IF nodded and pointed to the kitchen. "She was going to help Nep cook something..."
Compa sighed loudly. "Not again..."
IF turned her attention back to the not moving Rom. "Don't tell me...There's something wrong with her?"
Compa's expression saddened which had IF worry.
"H-Hey, what's wrong?"
Compa took in a deep breath, closing her eyes. "Iffy...I think Rom's not with us anymore."
Could be made into another chapter...I don't know yet...
