A/N: This is part of a series. White And Purple and Black And Green are connected to the same story line. A true sequel to White And Purple will be made after this fic is finished. Also I suggest you read White And Purple first if you haven't already, just to avoid confusion.

It had been a week since Blanc and Neptune's relationship was announced. Everyone's reaction was positive. Her friends had wished Neptune the best of luck in her new reltionship, and one of her friends (Compa) actually threw them a congratulatory party. Nepgear had warmed up to Blanc being around more, and the twins...well, you could say they were 2 of 3 people who didn't like their relationship.

The 3rd person being a twin tailed Tsundere named Noire.

Currently, Noire was in her room, absolutely failing to cope with what had happened. This had been the most gut-wrenching, most absolutely painful week of her eternal life. Never before had she felt such despair, or such animosity to a single person then right this second. She thought she had her, but it turns out fate had different plans for the CPU. The very thought of the situation had brought Noire to the brink of tears.

She lost Neptune. To Blanc.

Neptune had chosen Blanc over her.

Neptune, the girl she had been there for when Blanc broke her heart, had gotten together with the very same person who had broken her heart in the first place.

It's not like Noire expected this to happen. The Lowee CPU had failed to show her face ever since she hurt Neptune. When Noire heard about her friends state, she knew that was her chance. Years of failing to tell Neptune how she truly felt would finally be relinquished by this opportunity. Of course, Neptune herself was worse for wear. She was a blubbering, sniffling and tear stained mess by the time she got there. All she heard was Blanc's name, followed by another crying session.

But despite that, Noire stayed by her side. She was there for Neptune. She comforted Neptune. It was all HER. And then out of nowhere, Blanc shows up and everything is alright!?

Noire gripped her pillow, the aching feeling in her heart whenever she thought about Neptune would not go away. It was all Blanc's fault. If she hadn't interfered, Neptune would have been hers!

Noire wasn't ready for this. She had to accept that Neptune had fallen in love with another, but she didn't want to accept it. She wanted to pretend that Neptune was still available, that she could still be hers...

Who was she kidding?

Neptune would never be hers now.

Blanc had gotten to her first.

And as if to rub salt on the wound, her own little sister had gotten together with Nepgear the same day Neptune and Blanc announced their relationship.

To Noire, that was an absolute betrayal. The fact that Nepgear reminded her so much of Neptune certainly wasn't helping matters. Watching her sister succeed in one of the few areas she was weak in crushed Noire. Uni had achieved love, Noire failed it. Uni was probably having the best time in her young life, while Noire layed in her bed, pitiful, crying, and broken.

Why? WHY did it have to be this way!? Why didn't Blanc just back off? Why did Neptune have to fall for her? It wasn't fair dammit! She hated Blanc, she hated Blanc so much for what she did. She stole Neptune from her, leaving Noire in the dust. She hugged Neptune, she kissed Neptune. And Noire was left to cry over what could have been.

It was all. because. of. HER.

Noire had never felt such anger towards another person before. She wanted to rip her little head right off her shoulders. She wanted to yell, she wanted to scream at the Lowee CPU for taking Neptune, but she knew that would never happen. Her own embarrassment would keep her from spitting it out.

That just left one last question: Why didn't she confess sooner? She had more than enough time! Was it really her own embarrassment that kept her from admitting her own feelings? Noire hated herself for that, she had an entire week and she did nothing to seize the opportunity. If only she confessed sooner, then Neptune would be with HER, not Blanc.

If only...

Unbeknownst to Noire, Uni had been worrying about her older sister ever since she told her Neptune and Blanc were together. She consulting with Nepgear about the situation.

Nepgear, her GIRLFRIEND.

Uni blushed a bright shade of red. It seemed like just yesterday when Nepgear called her and asked her to come over. Uni was more than happy to visit, but the purplette sounded like she was in a rush. The first thing she saw when she got there was Neptune and Blanc's clothing sprawled out in Neptune's game room, followed by various noises, noises that Uni didn't want to think to hard about, in Neptune's room. Following this madness was a fiercely blushing Nepgear, asking Uni to follow her to her room.

What followed, was Nepgear shutting and locking her door Her face was red and she was fidgeting a little. Uni asked what was going on, and she was met with a good long kiss on the lips from Nepgear. After that was a few minutes of Tsun from Uni, which then lead to confession time. It was the most blissful, and certainly memorable, night of the Candidates lives. The only thing that kept it from being perfect however, was the noises that came from Neptune's room. It just seemed to get louder and louder, until eventually it just stopped all together. Uni didn't want to know what happened in there, but Nepgear had an idea (she had read one of Blanc's R-18 books by accident one time. She never returned it.)

"Ever since sis and Blanc got together, she's been so happy. But your sister is-Goodness Uni, are you Ok?" The sound of Nepgear's slightly worried voice snapped Uni out of her thoughts. They were both sitting on Nepgear's bed, and the concerned Candidate started feeling Uni's head, for it was very red. It took Uni a second to realize that Nepgear's face was mere centimeters away from her's, and when she did, the temptation to kiss her right then and there was maddening. But somehow, someway, she managed to hold back. She couldn't kiss Nepgear, not now anyway, there were far more important matters to address right now!

"I-I'm fine, just...thinking..." Uni trailed, blushing and gently brushing Nepgear's hand off her forehead.

"Oh. Thinking about what?" Nepgear asked.

"T-That's not important! W-We need to talk about my sister!" Uni exclaimed, trying to steer back to the original topic.

"R-Right. You said she's been in her room all week?" Nepgear asked. She was just as worried about Noire's current condition as Uni was. This was someone who was there for her sister, this was someone she considered a friend, and to hear about this upset the Candidate greatly.

"Yeah, she hasn't left her room once. It's gotten so bad, that Kei has to bring food to her. And that leaves ME with all her work." Uni rubbed her wrists when she said that. All the writing and stamping she had to do was giving the poor girl serious carpel tunnel. Her hands felt like they were going to break off at any moment. She wasn't a workaholic like Noire, as such her hands weren't used to the gratuitous (to her anyway) amount of work Kei would endlessly pile on. Even though all the work Uni was putting in kept Lastation's shares at a comfortable level, she just wasn't prepared for all this! She was working her hands to the bone here! Frustrated, Uni let out a sigh and continued to massage her wrist.

Nepgear, noticing Uni's frustration, took one of her hands and gently massaged it. Uni blushed from the contact, but made no effort whatsoever to stop her. They were in a relationship after all, so this type of intimacy was kind of expected.

"I learned how to massage from Compa. Even though she's...not the most capable nurse, she's a darn good masseuse." Said Nepgear, being ever polite on not insulting her friends obviously poor nursing skills. Nepgear had to give the girl credit for trying, but by the end of the day she was hurting more than helping.

"You don't have to be so nice Nepgear, she's as bad a nurse as Blanc is as bad a writer." Uni remarked. Doing that made Nepgear give her an upset look.

"She's my friend, I don't want to hurt her feelings. And Blanc is...well, she's trying to improve..." Nepgear couldn't even say anything good about Blanc's writing. She was subjected to one of the CPU's stories (that Neptune TOTALLY did not copy on a thumb drive without her knowing, that'd just be silly) and while Nepgear gave her points for her spelling and grammar, the whole story was just laughably bad...

Wait, what were they talking about again?

"What am I going to do about Noire?" Uni asked, unintentionally answering Nepgear's unspoken question. "I'm really worried about her, and I don't know what to do."

Of course, they both knew the exact reason why Noire was upset in the first place. Her crush on Neptune had been fairly obvious throughout the years. They could only imagine what Noire must be going through now that she lost her, but chances were it wasn't anything positive. Neptune and Blanc certainly wouldn't be any help in this situation, because one: They were pretty much the cause of Noire's state to begin with, and two: They were in the "honeymoon phase" of their relationship, where nothing mattered to them but each other. So they were pretty much useless right now.

"Don't worry Uni, we'll figure something out..." Seeing the saddened look on the Candidates face, Nepgear gave her a quick kiss on the lips. Immediately Uni turned beet red and wide eyed. Even after a week of this, her mind and her heart were still simply not ready for this type of affection from the purple haired girl.

"You're so cute when you're embarrassed."

"S-Shut up..."

Smiling, Nepgear brought Uni in for a comforting hug. Blushing even harder, Uni didn't even bother trying to resist and simply wrapped her arms around her. Besides being in desperate need of a massage, she would take a hug from Nepgear over the former any day.

(Lastation, Noire's Bedroom)

Noire felt absolutely pathetic. She knew that crying her eyes out in her various pillows wasn't going to do anything. The damage was done, Neptune would never be her's now. She could feel her heart shatter when those thoughts creeped in her mind. This was all Blanc's fault, and she never wanted to look at her damn face again. If she just so happened to see Blanc again, she didn't know what would happen. If worse comes to worse, a fight will most likely break out.

Right now, Noire didn't want to think about it. She was left to wallow in her own sorrow for a week, and she showed no signs of perking up. This wasn't going to last forever, Noire knew that, but she wanted to at least attempt to cope with the current situation before doing anything.

"Lady Noire? You have a visitor." Came the voice of Kei, who had been just a bit worried about Noire, but was much to focused on-wait, a visitor?

Noire wasn't expecting anyone, she had pretty much distanced herself from everyone after she heard the news, so who wanted to see her? Noire wanted to ask, but her throat felt dry, and she had just finished crying, so she couldn't. She heard the door open slowly, and Noire heard someone enter the room. Rubbing her tear stained eyes, Noire sat up to see who had entered, and who she saw was the last person she was expecting.

"V-Vert?"
