Neptune finally got to Lastation's basilicom and saw Uni walking around doing a bunch of paperwork.
"Hey Uni, do you know where Noire is? She was supposed to meet me on a quest." Uni stopped what she was doing for a moment, then glanced at Neptune.
"Nope, have no idea where she is..." She stood there for a moment, then put down the stack of papers she was holding. She grabbed a blank piece of paper and a pen, wrote something on it, then held it up for Neptune to see.
It read: Noire is hiding in her office, she doesn't want me telling anyone where she is, she can hear everything we say.
Neptune grabbed the paper and pen from her and wrote something else on it, then showed it to Uni.
It read: Why is Noire hiding in her office? Uni just took the paper and pen and shrugged.
Neptune thought to herself, then had an idea. "Well, I guess I will have to come back later then, can I use your bathroom before I go?"
Uni smiled. "Sure, it's upstairs to the right." Neptune waved to Uni, then went up the stairs.
When she got to the bathroom she noticed that Noire's office was across the hall from the bathroom, so she could probably hear something from here too if she wanted, creepy.
Neptune looked around the bathroom and spotted Noire's toothbrush, which she picked up with a smile.
"Oh lookie here, it's Noire's toothbrush! I wonder if she would notice if I did anything to it..." She looked behind her to the office door, which didn't move.
"Like say...I dropped it in the toilet?" Before Neptune could even react Noire came speeding out of her office and tackled Neptune to the ground, grabbing her toothbrush.
"Don't you dare do anything of the sort!" Neptune just looked at the position they were in, with Noire on top of her, holding her arms down, and their faces almost touching.
"Wow Noire, I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff. But please...be gentle..."
Neptune grinned as Noire's face turned red, then she jumped off of Neptune, pushing herself to the nearest wall, while Neptune started laughing.
"Shut up! I was just trying to stop you from doing anything with my toothbrush, that's all!"
Neptune got into a sitting position and wiped the tears away from her eyes.
"Sure Noire...So why are you hiding in your office, I mean, more then you usually do?"
Noire, stiffed up for a moment, remembering what she was doing before Neptune came. She got up from the ground.
"Come to my office."
Neptune nodded and got up as well, following her to her office, where she closed and locked the door.
"Did you go fight that robot?" Noire asked as she sat down in her office chair, and Neptune sat on the small couch that was in there.
"Yes I did, it only attacked my suit, but I could barely scratch it. Then it held me up and I think someone took a picture, then it tossed me down and left."
Noire nodded and looked down slightly. "It...it did the same thing to me...And, the robot was the one that took a picture of you, because it took a picture of me too."
Neptune looked at her and tilted her head. "Then why didn't you come to help me fight it?"
Noire sighed. "I was going to, but then before I left I got an email from someone which had the picture of me..."
Neptune just scoffed. "So?"
Noire stood up suddenly. "What if others have seen that picture of me? Or what if I do something and people get sent these emails. I can't have people seeing me like that! I am a CPU!"
Neptune smirked. "So is that why you have been holed up in your office? Okay, first we need to figure out where this robot came from."
Noire sat down in her chair, and looked away.
"Do you have something to say Noire?" Neptune got up from her seat.
"I...may have built it..." Noire mumbled quietly.
