Inspired by Men-dont-scream's Nep-mom creations, I present to you:

Mother's Day, Ultradimension Style

A Hyperdimension Neptunia Fan Fiction

by Derald Snyder

Part 1- Nep-Mom

*Planeptune Basilicom, Hyperdimension*

"Hey, Big Nep! Just the girl I was looking for!" exclaimed Neptune as she walked into the room.

The adult Neptune looked up from her Nep-Note. "Hm? Oh hey there, small me! Whatcha need?"

"We~ll, I took a walk in the Ultradimension today, and you'll never guess who I ran into!" She stepped aside, allowing another person to walk into the room...

Adult Neptune's eyes went wide at what she saw... Lilac-colored hair secured with a d-pad button clip... matching eyes set into a mature, round face with eternally blushed cheeks... a blue-and-white off-the-shoulders sweater held in place with a thin neck strap... dark-colored short shorts and dark pantyhose... and white boots with a blue border...

"NEPTUNE!" the woman cried in joy. "There you are, my darling baby girl! Give your mommy a big ol' hug!" Without waiting for an invitation, she promptly glomped the older Neptune in a bear hug, the girl's eyes shrinking to circles as her jaw dropped from shock. "Ohhh, look at you, you've gotten so big...! And you've filled out nicely, too!"

"Maaaaaaaa...?!" Big Nep heaved out, nearly unable to breathe.

"Hmmm?" Neptune's mother finally let go to look her daughter in the eye. "What's wrong? I know it's been a few years, but aren't you happy to see me again?"

Once her lungs restarted, the older Neptune took a few deep breaths, before turning to her younger counterpart. "Little Nep...?"

"Yeah?" the CPU tilted her head quizzically.

"I really hate to say this to you, but..." She took a deep breath. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE?!"

Her scream shook the entire Basilicom to it's foundations...

*A few minutes later...*

"Is that better, Miss Nep-Mom?" said Compa as she finished treating her patient's ear.

"I told you, my name is Umbriel..." the woman in question sighed. Along with herself and Compa, Histoire, IF, both Neptunes, Nepgear and Uzume were all present. "Honestly Neptune, what's gotten into you? I finally get to see you in Goddess knows how long, and you screech my ears off...?!"

"nothappeningnothappeningnothappeningnothappening..." Big Nep moaned with her face buried in her hands. "someonewakemeupwakemeupwakemeupwakemeupwakemeup..."

"Um, you're already awake, big me," the younger Neptune sighed. "And I think you kinda owe your Mom an apology..."

"Not to mention the rest of us," IF spoke up. "You almost made us think Kurome was back or something..."

"Hey, watch it!" Uzume protested.

The other Neptune groaned before finally sitting up and opening her eyes. "Damn it... not a dream..." She heaved a sigh in resignation. "Sorry, everyone... guess I flew off the handle there..."

"Would somebody care to explain what led to this?" Histoire inquired, turning a critical eye to the CPU Neptune.

"Well, I was just walking through the city after visiting Plutie, minding my own business," Neptune explained, "when suddenly this lady comes outta nowhere, babbling about having finally found me and giving me a bone-crushing hug. Or that's what it felt like, anyway... At first I thought she was like, delusional or something, so I transformed to get her off me and snap her back to her senses. Did she freak out when I did that..."

"I'm sorry," Umbriel apologized. "I truly believed you were my daughter at the time... and I couldn't believe you were a CPU..."

"So then what happened?" Nepgear pressed.

"Well, she started babbling even faster, so, as much as I didn't wanna do it, I had to slap her across the face just to get her to stop," Neptune sighed. "After that, I was finally able to explain myself, and she realized what a mistake she made... So, we had some tea and chatted for a bit, and then I put two and two together and realized she must be Big Nep's mom, so I brought her here. Figured it was kinda fitting, seeing as it's Mother's Day over there and all..."

"...I see," Histoire nodded. "So you were just trying to do something nice for your dimensional counterpart, and it ended up backfiring."

"There's a reason I flew the nest, ya know..." the older Neptune sighed. "I mean, OK, I see where you're coming from, Small Nep, but still..."

"...Are you still upset at me for throwing your bug collection into the furnace?" Umbriel ventured.

"Wait, you did what?!" the smaller Neptune gasped, her eyes shrunk to circles.

"...That was the final straw," Older Neptune glared at her mother. "I think I'm old enough now that you can't tell me what I should do with my life anymore..."

"Now look here," Umbriel frowned, "All I wanted was for you to do something more constructive with your life then just collecting creepy-crawlies." She briefly shuddered in disgust. "Honestly, I don't know how you could even *handle* those disgusting things..."

"They're not disgusting, they're fascinating!" Big Nep shot back. "And as far as doing something constructive... well, does helping save this entire dimension from falling into eternal chaos, darkness and despair count?"

Umbriel raised an eyebrow at this. "...Are you serious?"

"Come on, Mom, you think I'd lie about something like that? I mean, everyone here can back me up on this, right?" Everyone else immediately started chattering in agreement. "I mean, it was kinda my fault the whole mess started to begin with, but I did my best to make up for it by infiltrating the bad guys' side and try to sabotage their plans from within!"

"Did you succeed?" Her mother asked pointedly.

"Eh, well, I foiled a few minor plots, but they caught on to me pretty quick, so I had go back to the good guys' side and help the old-fashioned way, by kicking lots of butt!" Neptune finished with a smile.

"In Big Nepsy's defense," Uzume spoke up, "I kind of share some of the blame for what went down myself..."

"Is that so?" Umbriel turned to the redhead. "In that case, I think I'm going to need a more detailed explanation of what happened..."

"In that case, you might wanna sit down, Big Nep-mom," the younger Neptune sighed, "'cause this is gonna take a while..."

*One long explanation later...*

"...so in the end, you accepted your hatred, and the good you and bad you merged into one," Umbriel summarized. "Is that about right, Miss Tennouboshi?"

"Uzume's fine," the redheaded CPU said. "But yeah, you nailed it... and after touring Planeptune a bit, I realized just how foolish my hatred had been..."

"Well, being sealed away in isolation for decades would make just about anyone snap," Umbriel pointed out. "Perhaps, if you had had a mother-figure like myself, you wouldn't have lost control of your power and gone off the deep end..."

Uzume couldn't help but smirk a little. "Heh... you might have a point there, Umbsy..."

"Umbsy...?" Umbriel blinked.

"Er... should I not call you that?" Uzume asked.

"...No, that's fine," the older woman smiled. "It's rather cute, actually..." She then turned to her daughter. "And honestly, Neptune, I'm proud of you for what you did... even if was atonement for an earlier mistake."

"...Thanks, Mom," Adult Neptune finally smiled. "And don't worry, Crostie's staying locked up in my Nep-Note for good this time!"

"I'll get out someday!" Croire protested from inside said Nep-Note. "You can't keep me locked up in here forever, dammit!"

"Pipe down or I'll feed you eggplant next time!" Neptune growled. The notebook promptly fell silent.

"Well, that was a bit strange," Umbriel muttered, her eyes shrunk to circles. "It almost seems cruel to have her locked in such a tiny space, though..."

"Not from my perspective," Histoire spoke up. "She's apparently a recorder of history like myself, but she has it her head that she has to make it *ahem* interesting..." The fairy shook her head in disapproval. "Which is precisely the opposite of what her role should be..."

"Yeah, and it's not the first time she's caused us trouble, either," IF added. "Although, we did end up establishing a permanent gateway between our dimension and yours, so I guess it kinda worked out..."

"Heyyyy, I just got an idea!" the younger Neptune exclaimed. "We CPUs might be born from the Shares in this dimension, but in Ultradimension, the CPUs were human at one point, which means they have mommies too! So I'm gonna go ask Plutie and the others about their moms! Sayonara!" She immediately ran out the door before anyone could react.

"Wait!" Histoire called after her, to no avail. "*Sigh* That Neptune... what lengths she won't go to to avoid doing her job sometimes..."

"Maybe she could have used a mother herself," Umbriel mused.

"Um, Miss Umbriel," Nepgear spoke up, "I'm just curious... is this Neptune your only child?"

"...Yes, she is," the woman noted with a sad look. "I would have liked to have more, but... well, I had some complications when I gave birth to Neptune. I won't go into detail, other than to say I nearly died on the operating table."

"Y-you almost died?!" Compa gasped in disbelief.

"What the nep?! I've never heard about this before!" the older Neptune exclaimed, her eyes shrunk to circles. "You just told me you couldn't have any more kids...!"

Umbriel's face took on a guilty look. "Well, after my condition stabilized, the doctors had my tubes tied... I remember the surgeon telling me point-blank, 'If you were to ever have another child, it will kill you.' So, I had to be satisfied with what I had..." She turned back to Nepgear. "So, as much as I hate to say it, there's not going to be another you anytime soon..."

The CPU Candidate looked on the verge of tears. "Goodness... I had no idea... I-I'm sorry for bringing back bad memories..."

"Oh, there there..." Umbriel sighed as she hugged Nepgear consolingly. "It's not your fault, Nepgear, there's no need to cry..."

"Sheesh... well, that puts a few things in perspective..." the adult Neptune muttered. "No wonder you were so adamant about me doing something constructive with my life..." But then, her cell phone suddenly rang. "What the... hello?"

"Just so we're clear," Vert's voice spoke up, "You may NOT claim this Nepgear as your little sister, because I already have! It doesn't matter whether you are Neptune or not!" She then hung up.

"Uh... okay, that was random," Adult Neptune groaned in disbelief. "This must be one of those old comedy tropes like you see on TV... All that's missing is the laugh track." Just then, laughter from several people was heard.

"Wh-where did that come from?!" Umbriel gasped.

"From beyond the fourth wall, most likely," Histoire sighed.

"Fourth wall?" Umbriel looked around a bit, before seeing you from beyond the monitor. "Oh, hello there!" she waved. "I hope you're enjoying the story so far! Be sure to leave a comment or review, please~!"

"Wow... like mother, like daughter," IF sweat-dropped.

Everyone gathered muttered in agreement, as the older Neptune buried her face in her hands out of embarrassment once more...
