How to Save a Life

Chapter 1.

The Temperature was mild in Planeptune on the Sunny day of April 5th. No-one really kept an eye on the year though... Time flew by so quick.

Neptune walked into Planeptune's central police station.

Confused at first, she looked to the officer. "Who's in here? And for what reason?"

The officer looked to Neptune. "Ah, Lady Purple Heart, we caught one of the White Sister's after she murdered RED last week."

Neptune blinked in partial confusion. One of the White Sisters? Nah, couldn't be! Why would, more to the point - How, would Rom OR Ram cause this kind of thing?

"Let me see her."

"By your orders."

Neptune followed the officer into the police station and to the cell. She looked into the cell through the window thanks to a footstall and saw Ram staring at the wall looking very sorry for herself.

'Silly girl...' Neptune sighed. "I'll go and talk to her, you got the keys to the cell?"

The officer rose an eyeridge at Neptune. "I don't think you should go near her. We were about to deportate her back to Lowee with no chance of coming back."

Neptune looked at the officer. "Look, I know that girl in there. She would never put her foot out of line. Further, if and when Blanc or me hears about this kind of thing - One of us ends up down here faster then normal. Just be thankful its me and not Blanc."

The officer nodded. "Fine."

Opening the cell, Ram didn't look to see who came in as Neptune stepped in and stood at the front of the cell, just within reach of the officer (Just in case really).

"Hey kiddo."

Ram looked to Neptune, and it hit Neptune like a ton of breaks, she looked VERY sad. "Hi Auntie..."

Neptune offered a small smile. "I heard about what happened." She walked in and sat down not far away from Ram. "Wanna tell me what you think happened?"

"It was stupid." Ram sighed. "I went running across the forests, along the top with RED in the highest branches. Soon enough, she trips and I turn around to try and get her when she falls. I jump out of the tree to try to get there before her and...Well..." She sniffed. "I ended up landing on her, breaking her back and neck at the same time."

Neptune nodded several times. "Sounds like you've had a bad time lately. Hey, have you called Blanc?"

Ram looked at Neptune with a look of melancholy. "You think I'll call Blanc after something like this? No Way."

Neptune rose her eyes to the ceiling and back to Ram again. "I figured you'd say that."

"Added to that, she probably doesn't want to see me now..."

Neptune bit her lower lip. "That's probably true, in your world I mean."

Ram tilted her head to Neptune. "What do you mean? I killed someone Neptune... I KILLED someone!"

Neptune nodded. "I get it, I get it! Look, if there's nothing you can do about it now, think about how to make things a little better. RED's parents don't know where she is, she got amancipated a long time ago. If you want someone to live with... Come and live with us. I'm sure Junior wouldn't mind." She saw Ram shake her head. "Well, the offers there just in case, alright Kiddo?"

Ram nodded. "I know... Thanks Nep..."

Neptune smiled warmly at her. "From the looks of it, I'd say you need to cry. Give it awhile in that emotion and I'll be back. Probably with Blanc hot on my heels."

Ram giggled sadly. "Thanks."

Neptune nodded as she put a hand on Ram's shoulder, making the white sister begin to cry. "Look at you, you little mess. I'll see what I can do regarding the charges. Just...Take it slow. Not easy, just slow. You need to."

Neptune let go of Ram's shoulder as Ram put both her hands on her face and began to cry seemingly endlessly. Neptune turned and headed out of the cell and looked to the officer.

"I'd like to see the charges."

Officer Brightenbeck nodded her head. "Sure thing, Lady Purple Heart. I'll send the warrant to your office."

Neptune nodded and headed out of the police station, heading for the Basilicom.

[Later That Day - Planeptune Basilicom]

Neptune walked into the lounge part of the Basilicom where she lived with Nepgear and Histoire and looked to her work desk. There was one piece of work to be done. Nepgear must have done the rest.

Neptune walked over and sat down. "Lets see..." She felt her breath get caught in her throat.

/Warrant for execution of White Sister - Ram/

Neptune felt her collar get extremely hot as she felt anger build up very quickly, immediately getting out her decline stamp and hit it so hard on the paper that it almost made the stamp snap in half/Shake the desk.

Nepgear had only just walked into the living room with tea and biscuits when she saw, Neptune, almost ready to tear a Fenrir's head clean off of its own shoulders, then use it as a decorative ornament.

Nepgear gulped. "Sister? Are you okay?"

Neptune looked to Nepgear. "I'm...I'm..." Neptune sighed. "I'm okay. It's just there was a warrant to kill..." She trailed off.

"Kill...Who?" Nepgear gasped at first but allowed Neptune to continue.

"R...R...Ram."

Nepgear's eyes widened at first as did Histoire's who had just arrived. "That's awful Neptune."

"You don't need to tell me twice Histy."

"So... What are you going to do about it Neptune?"

Neptune looked to Nepgear. "Simply put? I'm going to adopt Ram."

"But she's the twin-candidate for Lowee...You can't-"

Neptune looked to Histoire next. "Tough. I can't and I won't allow them to kill or even execute Ram over this. It sounds like an accident. So, that, is what, I'm going to rule it as."

Neptune pulled out her elict and stamped on the declined paper to refuse and rebut the order.

Histoire sighed and shook her head. "I sure hope your right about this Neptune."

Neptune nodded.

Nepgear bit her lower lip. "I sure hope the people who want this don't come after us as well..."

Neptune looked to Nepgear. "Enough please Gear. I'll chat to you later." She sighed and looked to the window, "I'm going for a walk." She stood up and walked towards the elevator when Histoire AND Nepgear stood in front of her. Well, Histoire hovered.

Histoire immediately looked very stern at Neptune. "We can't let you go out when you're thinking like this - Your judgement is clouded."

Nepgear offered a sad smile in almost...Similar way. "I'm sorry."

Neptune shook her head. "I need a break. Let me have a break."

"No."

Neptune lowered her head so her eyes were covered. "If that's the way it has to be..." She turned around and before Nepgear or Histoire could do anything she had raced out towards the balcony, jumping into the sky and transforming - Heading in a certain direction:-

Lowee.
