Chapter 6 is finally up! This chapter and one more are going to tie up Neptune and Noire's mini story arc. After that, I am going to start up the main story for this fanfic. Don't worry this story is still going to be NepNowa and it's going to focus them more as a couple. These first 7 chapters were just the events leading up to their relationship. Enjoy.

Chapter 6- A Restful Night

Histoire was flying back and forth nervously inside the basilicom housing area. When she got back a few hours ago, she was expecting Neptune to be in her office doing some work or taking the day off. It came as an utter surprise when she got there, that Neptune was nowhere in sight. She wasn't really bothered by this, in fact, she was relieved that Neptune went outside, since that has become a rare thing for her as of lately. What worried her was that it was already dark out and Neptune hadn't even contacted her about her whereabouts. She flew towards the window on her tome book and anxiously observed Planeptune.

"I hope nothing bad has happened. Neptune…where are you?" Lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear two pairs of footsteps that had just walked in from the hallway.

"Histoire, are you okay?" Came a gentle voice from behind her.

Looking behind her, she saw Nepgear and Uni looking at her from the hallway with worried expressions.

"Oh Nepgear, yes I'm fine, just a little worried that Neptune hasn't arrived back yet from wherever she went."

"Goodness, it's already dark and Uni and I wouldn't even know where to start." Nepgear was worried. When she came back with Uni a while back, just like Histoire she was shocked to see that Neptune went out. She hoped that Neptune didn't get into trouble. She tried calling her, but it went to voice mail making her, even more, concern.

As if reading Nepgear's thoughts Histoire decided to speak. "Neptune is a big girl and I am sure she is heading back here already. So don't worry Nepgear."

"Okay, your right." said Nepgear trying to have a positive attitude.

Histoire looked behind Nepgear and saw that Uni was silently standing there. "Speaking of people wondering where other people are, Uni does your sister know you decided to spend the night here?"

Uni was now standing up a little bit straighter after being addressed by the flying oracle. "Um…yes…well, I did try to call her but I think her phone was silent, so I sent her a text message. She is probably still in her office working like she usually does anyway." She pauses for a bit, now looking sad. "I don't think she even notices I'm not there."

"I see." Came the reply from the oracle. She knew that out of all the goddesses, Noire was the most hardworking one, but in exchange for that, she was always distant with people. Flying closer to Uni she puts her tiny hand on her shoulder. "Uni, your sister cares for you, she just has a hard time showing it." She gave Uni a reassuring smile.

"Thank you, Histoire." Uni knew what Histoire said was true, but sometimes her sister made it impossible to believe that.

"Histoire, me and Uni will be in my room. Please let me know when my sister shows up."

"Of course"

She sees them as they walk back together towards Nepgear's room. She flies back to the window and proceeds to wait for the arrival of Neptune, watching the Planeptune city nightlife.

A few hours advanced after that, for it being nighttime now, the main Basilicom areas that hold workflow and audiences to goddesses were now empty. This made things a whole lot easier when Neptune and Noire entered through the main entrance door. In truth, if they could have gone HDD they could have entered through Neptune's office or her bedroom room window but after previous events, that option was no longer available.

"Thank the pudding gods that we finally made it. Man, I'm exhausted." Said Neptune who was holding a half asleep Noire.

"Huh…where here? Oh good. The sooner I stop moving the better." Said Noire, who was at this point feeling like a sack of potatoes.

"I don't get it. Sure I'm in pain but I'm not tired. Why are you?" She looked over at her girlfriend for a response and saw that she was looking down with a blush shown across her face.

"I…haven't been sleeping very good this week and with that fight we just had, I'm exhausted."

Neptune was sad to hear that her girlfriend was already sleep deprived prior to their fight. She gently squeezed her girlfriend as a show of comfort. This act did not go unnoticed by Noire who looked at her girlfriend. "Don't worry Noire because tonight you going to sleep like a baby." She said these words quietly into her ear, making those words only for her.

"Neptune, I'm too tired to respond to that but…that's sweet of you." She promised herself that she was going to be more open with her feelings and that was what she was going to do.

They finally made it to the front door of the housing area after a few minutes. Neptune reached for the door with her free hand, but Noire stopped her before she got to it.

"Hey, so what's going to be our excuse for showing up like this?" She was referring to the state that they were in, with their clothes being slightly dirty and having visible bruises and cuts all over.

"Well, how about your idea about it being an ancient dragon that got the drop on us…when…um…we were exploring a cave for materials?" she shyly smiled at Noire, wondering what she thought.

Noire giggled a bit from Neptune's story. "I…guess that's an okay explanation. Yeah, it should work." She gave a reassured smile back to Neptune.

Histoire was starting to doze off when she heard the sound of the front door open. Now finally awake, she flew to the door to give Neptune a serious talk about her being late. What she saw when she got there stopped her train of thoughts dead in her tracks.

Neptune was indeed back, but she was holding Noire in here arms and both of them looked like they were caught in some horrible accident.

"What in Gamindustri happened to you two?" She worriedly flew close to them trying to evaluate the condition of their injuries.

"Oh Histy, you should have seen it. I called Noire earlier today to help me out in a little cave exploration and we were caught off guard by this big ancient dragon. It was really powerful, but with our combined strength we were able to defeat it." She happily said letting her carefree attitude show.

Histoire looked at Noire to see if Neptune was being accurate. "Is this true Noire?"

Noire looked a little stunned but closed her eyes and began to speak. "Unfortunately yes, Neptune I blame you for dragging me into this. Jeez, the things I do for you, your such a ditz. I'm just thankful that we didn't end up dying." When she was done she glanced at Neptune to see if she didn't offend her. To her joy, Neptune only nodded in approval. This made Noire smile a little.

Histoire was trying to make sense of all this information. "I am surprised that an ancient dragon had that kind of power to take on the both of you, but what surprises me the most is that the guild agency did not have any records or quest on ancient dragon activity in the area."

Neptune and Noire's eyes turned white with dark outlines at hearing what Histoire said. It dawned on Neptune that Histoire had spent the whole day at the guild agency and Planeptune's guild agency was famous for always having monster whereabouts down to an exact science, always knowing their patterns and locations.

"Ha ha! Histy, come on! The cave that Noire and I went was a little far outside of Planeptune, also this ancient dragon looked like it was new to the area, but no worries it's gone now."

"That's a shame because if it had a quest, that could have been some wonderful shares for you." She sighed, but she was happier to see that they were okay, aside from the injuries. "Did you at least manage to get your materials?" She folded her arms to her sides in a questioning manner.

This time both Neptune and Noire spoke at the same time.

"No!"

This startled the small oracle making her almost fall out of her tome book. Noire was the one to follow up on the topic.

"I-I m-mean no, it turns out that Neptune had her information all wrong and the materials weren't even there. Can you believe that?" she said sounding sarcastically surprised

Neptune had a sour face in response for being painted in such a way, but she knew this was how Noire acted when she tried avoiding conversations; cold to the bone.

"Well, it doesn't matter now. I am just relieved that you two are okay. Though I strongly suggest that you two get some rest and let your shares heal your bodies. If you'll follow me Noire I'll take you to the guest bedroom." She turned around and started moving to the direction of the guest bedroom.

Noire was not sure why, but when Histoire mentioned the guest bedroom she tightly grasped Neptune's right hand that was around her waist with her right hand.

Neptune noticed the action when she felt the pressure on her hand. She locked eyes with Noire and in that instance, she understood what Noire wanted. "Um…Hey Histy, I think it would be best if Noire stayed in my room so that we can help each other clean up." She tightens her eyes due to how tactless that excuse was but hopefully, Histoire would buy it.

Histoire turned back around to see Neptune. She had a feeling that something was off with these two, but she was already tired due to the long day she had. "Very well you two, I will see you tomorrow morning." She once again turns around to go to her bedroom.

Neptune and Noire sigh in synchronization, acting as if they just dodged a bullet. They were about to start moving when Histoire turned back around once again. "Oh Noire, I almost forgot. Your sister is actually here, staying the night in Nepgear's room, but they have already fallen asleep."

"Uni Is here?" She knew that she and Nepgear were doing guild quest today, at least that what Uni told her.

"Yes, they were doing errands all day and Nepgear told her to stay for the night since it was getting dark already."

"Hmm…thank you Histoire, I'll let her sleep and catch up with her tomorrow." Neptune noticed that her girlfriend's tone of voice was hesitant as if she was thinking of something.

"Goodnight you two." With that she flew to the direction of her room, leaving them now by themselves.

"That was a close one but I think she bought it pretty well." Neptune smiled doing a fist pump with her left hand. She began moving herself and Noire to the direction of her room, quietly going into the hallway and pass her little sister's room.

"Hey Neptune, sorry If I was a little harsh on my lines." She looked down a little ashamed of herself for being once again too cold.

"Nonsense, I think you did a perfect job at it, plus it convinced Histy."

Noire was happy that Neptune wasn't mad at her, but she felt that she could have gotten her point across without making Neptune look bad.

When they got to Neptune's room. She put Noire on her bed so that she could rest. Looking down she saw her Noire plush doll on the floor causing her to swallow hard. Knowing that that was a conversation for a later date, she casually kicked it underneath the bed.

Noire's face had a relaxed smile compared to that of a desert wanderer that finally found a source of water. Her eyes were closed when she started hearing noises and feet moving back and forth. When she opened her eyes Neptune had a towel and a set of pajamas in one hand.

"Okay, Tired Heart. I'm am going to go take a very painful shower and when I am done you can go ahead and use it but for now, just take a small nap." When she mentioned a painful shower, she was referring to the act of having hot water running through her cuts and bruises.

Noire nodded as Neptune closed the door to the bathroom. Noire laid there just looking at the ceiling. Even though she was tired she couldn't sleep just yet. She was still finding it hard to believe that this morning she was waking up in her bed with her conflicting thoughts about Neptune and now she was in Neptune's bed now waiting for her girlfriend to finish up. She couldn't help but smile that Neptune was now her girlfriend. When she kissed Neptune on that grassy field she was scared of what the future held for them, but that kiss made her realize that she couldn't hide her feelings, no matter how deeply she buried them. " I will make this relationship work, for Neptune, I am willing to change." She said to herself now looking very determine before letting sleep overtake her.

She was not aware of how many minutes she was asleep, but the next thing she knew; she was being shaken from her shoulders. With eyes now open, she saw the tired face of Neptune staring right back at her. She noticed that her hair was wet and she had on purple pajamas.

"Hey there sleepy head, how are you feeling?" Neptune's voice was gentle and sweet as she spoke to Noire who was underneath her.

All the blood had rushed up to Noire's face, at the unexpected sight of waking up and seeing her girlfriend's face so close. She didn't mean to do it, but she ended up pushing Neptune off of her, which resulted in Neptune falling over the front of the bed.

"Ouch! Was it something I said?" Neptune's face looked pained as the top part of her body was on the floor and her bottom part was still partially on the bed.

"Oh, Neptune I'm sorry, you startled me and then you were so close…a-and…j-just here let me help you." She pulled Neptune up from the ground and placed her back on the bed, but that was not all she did. She wrapped her arms around the small purple haired girl from behind. "I did it again didn't I?"

Even though Neptune was now freshly physically hurting, that didn't stop her from blushing with a smile on her face. "Hey, there now if it means being held like this, then bring on the pain." She paused for a second making a sour face. "Forget what I said, it sounded more romantic in my head…what I am trying to say is that I know you didn't mean it and that won't stop me from being with you." She rested her head back until she could feel her head underneath Noire's chin. This act of intimacy made Noire's heart beat faster.

Words could not express how much she felt at that moment, no that wasn't true. There were words that she could use. Leaning closer to her girlfriend's ear she utters those words that made Neptune's heart skip a beat. "I love you, Neptune."

Neptune was speechless. This was the first time that she had heard Noire say those words.

"Earlier today, I said that I felt the same, well those words weren't good enough. I do love you Neptune and just like you, I have for a long time now."

"Noire, hearing you say that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside."

They both shared a joyful smile, now knowing that their feelings were no longer one-sided and that they could be able to say those words to each other.

"Hey Noire, as much as I would love to be like this the whole night, you still need to get cleaned up."

They separated from each other and Neptune walked over to her drawer to grab a pair of pajamas. They were much like the ones she was wearing but instead of purple, they were lavender, which was a light purple. "Here you go Noire, extra towels are in the bathroom."

A little while later Noire left the bathroom drying off her hair. Her ribbons that held her hair up in her classic twin tails were now gone, letting her hair run freely down. The pajamas that Neptune gave her were a little too small. This was expected since she was technically a head taller than Neptune. Another obvious indication was, were the hands and feet were, the cuffs were a little higher than they should have been. Also, a small portion of her midriff was showing. "Neptune, I don't suppose you have something longer than this?" She was blushing like crazy and part of her felt silly for having to wear these clothes.

Neptune couldn't hold back her laughter anymore at the sight of seeing Noire with her clothes. " I'm sorry for laughing Noire but you look so funny, yet very sexy with all that exposed skin." She walked up to her wiggling her eyebrows at her in a suggestive manner.

"Neptune don't make me throttle you!" it was bad enough that these clothes made her feel embarrassed, she didn't need her girlfriend laughing at her.

"Fine but you do look smoking with your hair down." She tiptoed until she was next to her ear. "That's one of the things I always found sexy about your HDD."

Unable to control her temper because of Neptune's teasing, she grabbed her girlfriend by her shirt and pushed her down on the bed along with her. They were now on top of each other with Neptune underneath her. She held on to Neptune's hands but made sure she didn't hurt her.

"Noire? I-I w-was just kidding around, please don't hurt me." She was helpless underneath her girlfriend that all she could do was stare back at those beautiful red eyes.

Noire now feeling a sense of boldness seeing her teasing girlfriend reduced to pudding in her hands, she proceeded to mimic what Neptune did by leaning closer to her ear. "Hurt you? Why would I do that when there are much better ways in silencing you."

Releasing Neptune, she places her hands on the sides of her girlfriend's face. They both stare deeply into each other's eyes, red meeting purple. She leans in and captures her lips for the second time that day. This time it was better than the first with them now having a little more experience. Unlike last time when Neptune wanted access to Noire's mouth. This time it was Noire who wanted to gain access into Neptune's mouth. After parting from each other she looks at Neptune who had a goofy smile on her face.

"That was the best kiss yet!"

"Well keep on teasing me and you'll find yourself without them."

"Yes, darling." She said shaking her head repeatedly

"D-Darling?"

"Yeah, you don't like me calling you darling?" She sounded worried wondering if maybe she was pushing her too fast.

"No, it's not that it's just unexpected to hear you say that."

"Well get used to it because we're together now."

They were together now. Just saying it made it sound hard to believe, yet here they were; hopelessly in love.

As they were caught in the moment there was a knock on the door.

"Neptune? Are you back home?" It was Nepgear that was on the other side. Everything started moving in slow motion as the door knob slowly started turning. Both girls were still in their compromising position fully stun to make a move.

Neptune kicked herself back into gear again responding to the situation by grabbing an unexpected Noire and pushing her off the side of the bed, away from view. She bolted to the door before Nepgear even fully opened it. Wedging herself between the door and the view of the room, she looks at her sister with an innocent smile. "What's up Nep Jr?"

"Neptune where were you? I thought something bad had happened." Her voice was shaky with concern from not knowing where her sister was.

"No nothing happened I just had to do a few things to do and I lost track of time."

"Is that really all of it?"

"Nepgear, if it was soothing bad I would totally tell you. Now shouldn't you be going back to your room? Histoire told me that Uni was staying over and come on now, you wouldn't want to make your friend worry, right?"

She blushed realizing she left Uni by herself "R-Right, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Goodnight Nep Jr."

"Goodnight Neptune."

After closing her door, she let out a sigh that she was holding in. She was grateful that she had long sleeves to hide her already healing injuries and had already taken a shower to get rid of all the dirt. If not, then the conversation might have been a little more awkward.

"Noire are you alright?" She ran over to the side of the bed to help her girlfriend up from the floor.

"You know what? I actually deserve that." She was rubbing the back of her head that now had a new bruise on it.

"My poor darling, hear let me kiss it to make it better."

"T-That w-won't be necessary." She was stuttering while trying to move away from Neptune.

"Nonsense, I'm your girlfriend now come here." She started to massage the back of her head melting away the nervousness that Noire had. She couldn't help but feel very relaxed now.

"Hey Neptune?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Did Nepgear tell you where she and Uni went today?"

"Actually she left me a note this morning, saying something about errands for the whole day."

Noire's attention was now trained on what Neptune had said about Nepgear's excuse. "That's funny because Uni told me they were going to do guild quest today. I assumed they were doing Planeptune quest since shares in Lastation are pretty good right now."

Hearing this from Noire made her laugh uncontrollably, getting a worried look from Noire. "Well, that's a load of baloney." She said wiping a tear from her eye.

"Really?"

"Noire, I might be a ditz but this ditz knows when her shares rise and fall and they have been the same for the whole day."

"So she lied to me." She felt hurt now knowing that her little sister had lied about her plans with her girlfriend's little sister.

"That is an odd one…" She gasped realizing something that had just popped into her mind. "…oh maybe there in a relationship like you and me. That would explain the secrecy!"

"Neptune don't be ridiculous."

"Well, why not? You and I got together…after beating the ever living daylights out of each other."

"Yeah because you started it when you insulted me."

Sorry about that but it was the only way to get you to see how much I love you and I'll do it again if I have to." She started massaging her shoulders to get her a little more relaxed.

Noire remained silent wondering if that might be the case. Thinking back Uni was very nervous this morning and the secrecy did play a major factor in whatever was making her nervous.

"Would It make you feel better if I told you that out of Vert and Blanc you are my greatest rival, just don't tell them because they might come after me."

This made Noire smirk. "I don't think Vert would be too mad about that but I can see blanc getting enraged." She takes a hold of Neptune's hands that were still massaging her and turns her head to look at her right in the eye. "But If they lay a finger on you then they'll have to deal with me."

"Oh Noire, I love that under that cold exterior there is a warm softie of a person, but you're not seriously going to tell them right?"

She laughed at hearing how frighten Neptune was. "No, I'm not going to tell them."

The stayed talking for a while until both of them started to get sleepy. Noire was enjoying her conversation with Neptune but as time passed a more pressing question was quickly approaching.

When Noire was in the bathroom checking up on how her wounds were healing, Neptune was getting ready for the big moment.

"Um hey Noire, I think it's about time we should go to sleep." She heard a sound of a surprise coming from the bathroom and then Noire came out looking very uneasy.

"S-Sleep!? L-Like together?"

"Well yeah, you don't want to sleep with me?" Her voice started decreasing at how shy she got when she said that.

"That not what I am saying. It's just that I'm nervous". If she was being truthful, she had never been more nervous than anything else before.

"Noire it's alright if this is going to fast we can slow down a bit."

She let out a sigh of relief at what Neptune said. "Thank you, Neptune."

Neptune smiled back at her and decided to get this night rolling. "Now you take the bed and I'll take the floor."

"W-What?"

"Hmm, what do you mean what? I am not making you sleep on the floor knowing that you had days without proper sleep and coming from someone who loves her nap times I can't have that going on."

"Well, I'm not going to let you sleep on the ground because your body is still hurting and the floor is only going to make it worse."

"I guess we reached an impasse, man what a pickle. So what then?" This was a problem for them since neither one wanted to let the other sleep on the floor. Since that option was unavailable there was really only one choice left, but she didn't want to spell it out.

Noire let out a sigh before she locked eyes with Neptune. "Get back on the bed were sleeping together."

"Are you sure?"

She pretended to think for a minute, brushing her hair with her hand. "It can't be helped."

Though they had kissed and started expressing their love to each other, sleeping in the same bed seemed of a more daunting task. Since Neptune's bed was technically made for one, that left them with little to no personal room space, forcing them to get really close.

Noire was blushing really bad in response to Neptune being pressed up really close to her. It wasn't that that she hated the intimate contact it was just that she didn't know where to rest her hands. They were both on their sides facing the same way so they weren't looking at each other but Neptune wanted to change that.

Neptune's internal thoughts were trying to come up with some way to make the situation less awkward. "Alright stubborn heart, why haven't you made a move yet? The awkwardness in the air is so thick I could cut it with my sword. I understand that she is still trying to get used to this and I know that it won't happen in a day, but this situation is just torturing."

She decides to make the first move and turned around so that they were now facing each other. "Noire I can feel the tension in the air. Is everything alright?"

"Um, N-No it's just this bed is small and I don't know where to rest my hands."

"Is that it?" She sounded baffled by the answer

"Yeah what else would it be."

"Well I don't know maybe us being really close together was making you uncomfortable."

"Neptune…" She looks at Neptune's gloomy face and reaches out her hand to grab her girlfriends; holding it really tight. "…you can never make me uncomfortable, a little nervous but never uncomfortable."

Neptune was trying to hold back a few tear from hearing those honest words from Noire. "Well, if you're having trouble deciding where to rest your hands then let me show you." She turns around and snuggles much closer to Noire making her let out a sound of surprise. She grabs her hands and puts them on her waist.

"How does that feel Nervous Heart?"

"R-Really g-good"

"Awesomesauce."

Neptune was feeling happy with herself with being able to cut the tension. She moves her body around to get into a better position but while doing that, the most unexpected thing happens. She hears a moan coming from Noire. She stops dead in her tracks finally realizing that she was moving her bottom a lot while she was adjusting herself.

"Noire did you just…?" She felt the fingers on her waist tighten a little making her sweat.

"S-Shut u-up…or I will end you!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

[The Next Day]

When morning came they awoke feeling more refreshed than they have been this entire week. Noire had been able to get the sleep she had been wanting for a while now. She would never admit this, at least not right now but sleeping next to Neptune was a hundred times better than sleeping with her little plush doll that she had made. Unaware to her that Neptune was thinking the very same.

Their wounds were starting to heal up nicely with the bruises being the only thing that still looked kind of bad.

"How do you feel Noire?" She called to her girlfriend that was changing in the bathroom.

"Pretty great, I feel so rested. Still a little sore but that should go away in a day or two." She stepped out of the bathroom with her outfit and hair styled up in her classic twin tails.

"You see. I told you were going to sleep like a baby". Neptune walked up to Noire tapping her on the nose with her finger.

Noire wraps her arms around Neptune holding her closely. "That you did."

Neptune could get used to Noire holding her like this and she loved it that they felt so relaxed with each other but there was still that incident from last night that was still nagging at her. "Hey Noire about last night with that little incident…"

Her girlfriends face changed from happy to that of a cautious one. "Neptune I don't want to talk about that, at least not right now this early in our relationship." She tried not to be stern with Neptune about this since she did get mad last night.

"Alright, but I just want to say I'm sorry for doing that."

Noire smiled and leaned her forehead until it was touching Neptune's forehead. "Don't be." she smiled and backed away tapping her finger on Neptune's nose.

In the kitchen, Uni was helping Nepgear out with making breakfast. They had a very pleasant night with Nepgear holding her girlfriend throughout the night.

"…so is that why when I woke up in the middle of the night you were nowhere to be seen?" she was flipping some bacon while Nepgear was cooking some eggs.

"Yeah, I heard a noise coming from Neptune's room so I went over to see if she already arrived, sorry for not letting you know."

"That's okay, what was she doing anyway?"

"She said that she had some things to do. She didn't really give me that many details."

"Is she always that vague?" Said Uni while flipping the bacon.

"No, not really she always likes to tell me things, but last night she told me that if it was serious she would tell me." She was curious about where her sister had gone off to, but she trusted her none the less; even if she was being vague

A few minutes went by when Histoire flew into the Kitchen. "How are you two doing this morning?"

"Where doing good where just making breakfast for you, me, Uni and Neptune."

Histoire looked a little confused, feeling that she left out one extra person. "Did you talk to Neptune last night?"

"Yes, I did. She looked really tired so our conversation was short."

"I could imagine with her and Noire being in that condition that they were in yesterday."

"Condition?!" She stopped what she was doing and turned her full attention at Histoire.

"Noire?!" Uni also stopped flipping the bacon and turned her attention towards Histoire. She did not expect her sister to be related to this situation.

Histoire was starting to feel like she just opened up a whole mess of problems. "Oh dear, I guess she didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?" Nepgear was persistent, she had to know what her sister told the oracle that she failed to tell her.

Before Histoire could reply to Nepgear. Neptune and Noire entered the kitchen. Catching Nepgear and especially Uni off guard."

"Men, what smells so good little sis?" She walked in with a smile on her face, unaware of the heated tension in the air.

"Neptune! You lied to me last night about where you were and why is she here?" She pointed her finger at Noire which made the twin tail girl feel like she was just pulled out of a lineup.

"Wait, what? Okay, First of all, I did not lie. I said that if it was something serious I would tell you and don't be rude to Noire." Neptune was starting to get angry for being called a liar and for Nepgear being rude to her girlfriend.

Nepgear was confused and mad, but her sister did have a point. She didn't really lie more like withheld information. She looked over to Noire who had a worried expression on her face. Taking a deep breath, she calmed her anger and looked at the two of them. "I'm sorry Noire for being so rude to you but Neptune, Histoire told me that you were hurt yesterday and why didn't you tell me that Noire was here as well?"

Neptune had done it this time. All of her fibbing had got her into problems again, that's why she hated to lie, but her reasons for lying were good. Letting her anger die down she started to explain herself with her innocent lie. "Alight my dear little sister, first of all, me and Noire went out to a cave to explore for some materials, but there was an ancient dragon that really did a number on us. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to worry you. Second, Noire and I came when you and Uni were asleep so I was going to tell you first thing today since it got away from me last night."

"Goodness, forgive me you two." She hated herself now, not just for yelling at her sister, but also for being rude to her girlfriend's sister.

"It's cool just don't jump to conclusions."

Breakfast time was a little awkward. This was more directed towards Noire and Uni who didn't really say that much in the way of conversation to each other, but Noire did apologize for the fact that she didn't answer her phone when Uni tried calling her yesterday.

After breakfast Noire and Uni were ready to head out back to Lastation. Neptune, Noire, Nepgear and Uni were outside near the basilicom entrance saying their goodbyes. Uni and Nepgear did a quick hug and then Uni transformed into Black Sister, flying into the air expecting for her sister to already be behind her.

"Noire we have to go."

"Just give me a minute Uni!" she yelled to her sister. She walked up to Neptune and gave her a hug. Neptune was shocked but Uni and Nepgear were even more shocked to see Noire so openly friendly. She quietly whispers into Neptune's ear. "Remember when you talked about that romantic date? Well since I won that battle, it's only fair that I take you out on one."

"Noire…"

"Don't say anything. I'll make some time from my schedule and let you know." She backs away and transforms into Lady Black Heart, giving her a wink before flying off with her sister.

"Wow, that is a side of Noire I have never seen before." Said Nepgear who was still staring up at the air.

"You got that right."

Another chapter, done. I like to thank everyone that has been following my story. There is one more chapter left before I get to the main plot that was my inspiration for doing this story. Until then take care everyone.
