A/N: Goddamnit FF messed up the title. It was supposed to be Re;Load, but I guess it's just 'Reload' now. It's alright, I guess.

The first thing I did once I hit the ground was immediately shut up, because I don't want anyone in the room with my physical body to have a heart attack at this screaming comatose maniac.

The second thing I did was look around and try to figure out where I was. The moon was high in the sky, and it was quite the rainy kind of night. From the pink wallpaper and giant syringe leaning against the wall, I'd wager I'm at Compa's. It's been quite a while...

Getting up, I felt myself getting tired very quickly. A month without moving had taken more out of me than I thought. Shuffling over to the door, I was thankful I wasn't going quickly as I felt Compa run into me, her expression utterly confused. Wrapping my arms around her for partly support and partly comfort, I felt her start gently shaking in my grasp.

"...D-Davey?"

"Mmm, morning...how was your sleep?"

Now I feel like a massive jerk.

After Compa's initial shock wore off, she immediately burst into tears and started telling me how much I worried her, along with all of my other friends as well. It was so bad that I couldn't even make out some things she was telling me, amidst the hiccups and sobs.

Thankfully, I was able to calm her down after a full half hour, although her iron grip around my waist didn't lessen in the slightest. For a small girl, I think I felt my ribs collapsing.

"I-I'm just soooo glad yo-you're ok, Dav...D-D..."

"Ah, i-it's ok Compa! No need to cry anymore, honest!"

Running a hand through her creamy pink hair, I let out a sigh of relief as her sniffles slowly died down. I swear whenever someone cries, it makes me feel extremely guilty.

"So...how did everyone else do in a month?"

"O-Ok, I guess...Histy was really sad though, she kept saying it was all her fault..."

It seems I need to spend some time in Planeptune. Really need to spend some time, in fact.

"Sorry Davey, but you need to stay here for just a little while longer. I need to make sure you're fit for travel again, and you might slip back into a coma if you fall asleep so having a trained nurse on hand is-"

"Ok, ok, I trust you, Compa. Thanks for being there for me, hope I won't be too much of a burden to you for now."

Compa gave me a soft smile and shook her head.

"You're not a burden at all, Davey. I wish you came over to see me normally though..."

Bursting out into a sweat, I started to apologize before noticing Compa's growing smirk. It wasn't as malicious as it was teasing.

"You've...gotten quite devious over the time we've been apart, eh?"

"Not by much, Davey...but only where it matters~"

With that, Compa waltzed into the kitchen. I don't know how, but she's gotten more adorably bold than the last time we've seen each other.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Someone is at the door, huh? Well, since Compa can't hear it over the sounds of cooking, might as well get it for her. Getting up with a grunt, I slowly made my way to the door and opened it.

"Hey Compa, just finished a few quests and figured-"

Looking down, I looked at IF with a neutral expression, with her returning it to me.

"...Hey IF."

"..."

"...The bed was comfy."

IF's face remained neutral for a few more seconds before her eyes squeezed shut, tears streaming down her face.

"YOU IDIOT!"

IF jumped up and slammed her face into my chest, knocking the wind right out of me like a professional boxer.

"Oh, hello Iffy! I'm so sorry I didn't tell you earlier, he woke up just an hour ago."

IF didn't bother responding for obvious reasons, and I wrapped by arms around her large coat as she sobbed into my shirt. Planting a gentle kiss on top of her head, I looked back to see Compa giving me a slight pout from the kitchen doorway.

You didn't give me one, I saw her mouth. This girl...

Later, I mouthed back. I guess she was content with that answer, as she walked over to IF and started rubbing her on the back reassuringly.

"Iffy, it's going to be ok. Davey is fine, he just needs to eat a little and be under our watch for tomorrow, that's all!"

Picking IF up, I sat back down onto the couch, Compa following me. Running my hand through her rich brunette hair, I let out a sigh as I got comfortable. Tonight is going to be a long night.

A/N: Hey there, chapter 2 is done super early, rejoice! I hope to have a more productive schedule with this story, seeing as there's less sex involved and I can write in more stuff I want to.

Also, reviews, cool.

HavenofUmbar: I'm planning on keeping H-scenes with the Makers to a minimum, or none at all. They already got their time in the sun, and plus I think I can write in more character development and stuff without having to slot in a long sex scene, so it's all good. Goddesses will be totally getting it, though.

ARISOR: David continues indeed. No dimensional shenanigans will hold him back from...whatever his life goal is. Having a good time? Probably.

ultramannexus94: Thanks, man! Hopefully this story is as good as TLaM was to you, if not better. I'll certainly be trying, anyway.

Guest: Glad to see that you like where the story is going! Your list is pretty much spot on, except that Peashy might make her appearance sooner. Peashy will probably be in Yellow Heart form if I do decide to write in an H-scene for her, but I'm actually not sure on her. Maybe. On the topic of a long story, I hope to get in at least 30 chapters of assorted stuff, goddess scenes included.

Stay tuned for chapter 3, and as always, your input is invaluable. Catch you guys soon.
