A/N: Well, it's a new year; I've been in hiatus for over four months due to school, so let's see if I can actually finish a fanfic by then.

Be warned, there will be an OC, which will be introduced through the story. Also, the timeline is complex; the CPU Sisters/Candidates are existing, but MK2's events didn't happen, the first game did happen, and we're in the first game's landmasses. Hope that made sense to you :)

Anyways, if not, not much of a difference. Just read and enjoy~ :D

It's been a year since peace came after the four CPUs had saved the world from Arfoire, and exterminated the monsters. However, even after giving up their powers, the Basilicom accepted each of the previously-CPUs, due to the fact that the new CPU didn't come yet. Each CPU was very happy about this, as they didn't have a backup home. When their sisters came from Celestia...well, they all "d'awwww"ed all over the place, except Blanc, who actually smiled and hugged them.

Who knew that Histoire had another surprise for the four...Apart from me, the narrator of all mega brainfucking thin-

...Ahem. Sorry. Anyways, back to the story. Now then, little did they know that this surprise was going to shatter the peace they worked hard to make. It all began when Neptune started to eat waffles instead of pancakes...

(Neptune's POV)

The sun sucks...Why can't you let me keep sleeping? Geez...I need to go get me some of those tasty pancakes Nep Jr. made...

I grabbed the stove, opened it, and there they were; a heaven to behold, the pancakes my sister made. This was crafted like a goddess made it...oh wait. Irony. My sister is a goddess. Both literally and figuratively.

I microwaved them to make the pancakes warm. I poured syrup over them, and took a bite. Surprisingly, it was crunchy. Wat.

I looked carefully at the supposed pancake, and after careful examination, it was a waffle. I freaked. "NOOOO, WAFFLES! WAFFFLEEEESSSS!"

I tried spitting it out, but it was too late. It had entered my body, and was on its way to destroy my body. Nepgear came out in her pajamas, groggy. "What happened, onee-chan?" she asked ever so sleepily.

I shook her shoulders.

"I ATE A WAFFLE! NOOOO!"

Nep Jr. still looked sleepy. "You sure, onee-chan? I put the pancakes in the fridge..." and miraculously, she fell asleep on her feet. Meanwhile, I sighed, grabbed the pancakes, and microwaved those.

While I was waiting, I incinerated the evil waffles. I rejoiced in their burning, sugary defeat.

I munched on the pancakes, delightfully chewing and while that all happened Nepgear came out of her room, dressed in her usual school uniform. She greeted me with a smile "Good morning, onee-chan."

"Hey, Nepgear!"

She grabbed a piece of toast, poured a glass of Planet-Milk, and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yup! I was dreaming of a place where..."

"Where?"

I smiled, and said, "There were millions of delicious cupcakes and tasty pie!" Nepgear giggled. "Typical of onee-chan." we finished our breakfast, and Nep Jr. said she wanted to buy some new clothes. I thought of the paperwork stack I had in my "office", and then shook it off. Naturally, Ge-Ge reminds me of it. "Make sure you do some of that paperwork on the desk, alright?"

"What? No! I want to go with you and buy all sorts of pretty clothing! C'mon, please?" I putted on a pouty face, hoping Nepgear falls for it like usual.

"...Fine, but finish when we come back, alright?" I win. As usual.

"Alright!"

As it turned out, I only got myself a new pair socks, along with a new hoodie that I really liked. It really fitted me well, looks and personality-wise. I was wearing them throughout the trip after I brought it. After that, we ate some new kind of chocolate coconut ice-cream. It was very well done, and it tasted like when Nepgear tried to make her first chocolate ice-cream: Sweet. On the other hand, Nep Jr. brought some t-shirts and jeans, but wore the same school uniform she'd always wear.

"Onee-chan?" Nepgear asked.

"Hmm?" I replied, concentrating on the video game I was playing.

"Weren't you supposed to do your work?"

Oh god. The Evangelist will be all over me if I don't.

"Right, thanks, Nepgear!" I paused my beautiful game, where I was beasting on an online shooter game. I dragged myself over to my "office", but it's really just the Sanctuary for CPUs, which used to be me. I don't know why it isn't Nepgear yet. I mean, there are no CPUs existing other than our sisters. Yet it's still our job to take care of the land. Sigh...Histy, is this what you meant? 'Cause it's a bad idea.

I looked at the pile of reports from today and yesterday. Well. I took the first one, and thus started the endless torture.

"There! Done!"

After a two hour torture of seemingly endless reports on trading between Lastation and Leanbox, interactions with Lowee, and crimes, which makes no sense whatsoever, since I thought I restored the peace in Gamindustri.

Speaking of that, it's been a year, hasn't it? Since we beat Arfoire, everything's been very quiet. No outbursts of trouble in certain areas. It makes me longing for the days where we went monster bashing. Those were the days of glory, when I managed to transform and just go beast mode on anything I saw fit. Well, almost anything. Some occasions, Compa and Iffy would stop me.

While I was thinking of the good old times, Nepgear was entering the room with some cookies and milk. "Here you go, onee-chan. Something for your hard work."
"Oh my god. Really? Thanks, Nep Jr.! I love you!" I tackled-hugged her. She managed to luckily set down the set before I tackled-hugged with my undying thankful-ness.
"...Ahem."
Huh? I hear a familiar voice. Sounds like...
"Missed me?"
I peeked on the shoulder of my sister, and saw Histy in the door, looking very, very exasperated. "Histy! How've you been? It's just ship-shape over here! (^-^)/"

Histy smiled a bit. "Well, at least you're still doing your duties as a CPU, instead of forcing Nepgear to do it."
"What? I wouldn't dare! She's my little sister! Elders have to care for their young or whatever..."
"Hmm. Well, congratulations. Anyways, I'm the new Priest to take care of the CPU. Luckily, you did your paperwork, or I would've had to force you to as my first command..." I gulped. I guess I'll have to thank Nep Jr. for saving my behind... "So, since you're done, go relax for a bit. I'm sure you deserve it. Oh, but don't-"

I didn't hear that last part, I just grabbed Nepgear and ran out the open door. WOOOO, FREE TIME! I wonder what I should do. Invite the other CPUs and their sisters? Play some games? Go outside for some fresh air? After some consideration, I thought I need a breather, so I opened the door leading out. Now, this may confuse all of you readers and pervs (if there is any reading this.), but this is when things got out of hand. When I thought my life would get more exciting. When HE came.

"Hi..." A boy around my age, wearing a black hoodie and regular blue jeans, with an N symbol like mine, hanging from his belt with a chain. "My name is Zaiden...You're Neptune?"

"Yes...?" At first, I replied with caution, thinking he's just a salesman. But what he said next was much more surprising.

"Well, I'm the CPU you gave your powers to. And also your brother."

A/N: Welp, I tried. I think there's too little "4th-wall breaking". But either way, I really think I tried my best, and if there's anything wrong, please put it in a review, and I'll PM you with my thoughts. If you're a guest, I'll answer the questions in the next chapter. But other than that, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! I will try my best to write and produce more chapters, despite my conditions in school and such. But otherwise, I'll see you next time :)
