Well that was fun… me and Neptune had played one of the Serious Sam games which I had intended to play back at home but I never got the chance to do so. Still, it was pretty fun, owning numerous newbie monsters, playing with her was simply, exquisite.

But now, it's roughly 8:40 in the morning which is when I would normally wake up at. Most fun that game was… Nepgear decided to take her sister's place after 4 games and we still managed to survive a few rounds. Nepgear seems to be just as good at gaming as her sister is. Or Neptune's better. I don't know, I'm just guessing here.

As I'm rubbing my eyes, I place my glasses on and head towards the kitchen, after the restroom of course but we can't get into that. Anyways, I decided to have some Golden Grahams, my favorite cereal to have and I notice someone else come from the hallway. "Umm… oh! Good morning Thomas!"

"Ah, morning Nepgear…" So it is Nepgear huh? Why you look at that… I'm adjusting more and more to this world with each passing day. Most amazing this is… to the table I go since I have my cereal in my bowl. I make it a habit to place the bowl of cereal on the table before I add the milk so as to not make a mess of things.

I notice Nepgear have some other cereal and goes to the table after she poured her milk. "Um… mind if I join you?" Is it just my imagination or is Nepgear feeling a bit… nervous? That's my guess but heck, I wouldn't mind her joining me.

"Sure." I say, Nepgear taking a seat next to me and enjoying her meal. I would bring my breakfast to my room but this isn't my room and uh… Compa told me that we can't bring food to our rooms so I won't. Obeying the rules is what I do best! Or something. Hehe, the living room is nice and clean, same as my own. Can't say anything about Nepgear and Neptune's room since I only slept in it for a few days.

Hmm… today is the 22nd of December huh? Let me see, there was a movie I wanted to see… ah, that's right! I wanted to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I wonder if it's showing in this dimension. Guess I'll check on that… oh! How surprising! It is showing in a theater in this area. Nice! I wonder if someone wants to see that movie with me…

"Oh? You want to see The Last Jedi as well? We should totally see it together!" Nepgear says, looking over my shoulder toward my phone with such a happy look on her face. She gets her own phone out and begins typing super fast. Incredible. "How does 12pm sound?"

"12 Is good. But can we please go with standard? If we go with IMAX or 3D, then it'll cause my eyes to hurt. A lot." I reply back to Nepgear who still looks happy and finishes playing with her phone as well as finishing her breakfast. I should finish mine as well so I can get back to watching videos on my laptop.

After roughly 2-3 minutes, I finish my breakfast and go to clean it before heading back to my room and closing the door behind me. Let me see… upon booting up my laptop, I go to watch several scenes of the anime Bleach when Ichigo is fighting against Captain Byakuya Kuchiki but his inner hollow takes over towards the end.

After going through numerous videos still stored on my laptop, 2 hours have past which means only one thing. Lunch time! I go to the kitchen and heat up some chicken pot pie which Compa and IF bought the other day and set the cook time for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. I would go for just 3 minutes but the chicken, tends to not heat up all the way.

*BEEP*

And there goes the microwave. I grab the oven mittens and places the chicken pot pie which rested on a small plate and closed the microwave. After that, I moved my lunch to the table, went back to place the oven mittens back in the drawer and went to eat my lunch in peace.

10 Minutes pass as I finish eating my lunch and go to dump the remnants of the chicken pot pie in the trash can and proceed to wash the place. Done with that, I place the plate and the fork into the dishwasher and went to grab a soda, then I went back to my room. Wait, no… I'm seeing a movie so I'll go put it back.

I should hurry up and get dressed, just need to put my shoes and socks on…. Eh, I'll wear the socks from yesterday, not that I have any other socks to wear. And I'll wear my jacket, can't go anywhere without it. Save for the summer, too hot.

"Thomas, are you ready? It's time to go!" Will you look at the time? It's roughly 11:40 am. How did this happen so fast? Oh well, off we go.

2 Hours later.

"That was amazing! I really loved this movie!" I say with a smile overtaking my face. I absolutely loved this film! So spectacular. No spoilers, I'll just mention that I gave it a 12/10. So amazing! Hehe, moving on.

After a while, me and Nepgear return to the Nep tower where Neptune and the others await us. "Ah, welcome back Nepgear and Thomas. Are you ready to head to Lowee with Neptune?"

"Yes, I'm ready. Let's go." Me, Nepgear and Neptune head out towards Lowee so that I may meet the CPU of Lowee, Blanc and the candidates, Rom and Ram. This might take a while so I'll be listening to my music.

"And that's how the movie went. I loved it! But I think Thomas loved it even more." Nepgear explains the entirety of the movie to her older sister who apparently saw it the day before. Go figure. "Yeah, the movie was amazing. Especially with… oops. Can't say that, else I might spoil it for the people reading this here fanfic!"

There she goes again, breaking the 4th wall. Heh, hilarious… I wonder when time will skip again… it is a possibility one must consider. 2 Is enough, at least for me so I guess it'll drag on for a while.

"We're here!" And I retract my previous statement. How did we arrive in Lowee in such a short period of time?! Oh well, this should be fun. At, the cold… my favorite. Personally, I prefer the cold over the heat. It's just more… tolerable than having to withstand 100 degree weather.

"Let me see… the home of Blanc, Rom and Ram should be close… oh! There it is!" Nepgear says, pointing to a rather large building in the distance. I pull my hood up when the wind kicks in, keeping my ginger hair safe from the cold.

After a short while, we finally arrive at the home. Man, it looks massive… and all this space! No wonder the siblings enjoy it here. It truly is amazing… hmm? I see two people in the distance. Wait, are they…?

"Rom look, it's Nepgear and Neptune! Heya! And… who's this?" Ram notices us from a distance and a total stranger with the two. That would be me, of course, hehe. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Thomas."

"What kind of name is Thomas?! Whatever, it's great to meet you and all but I'm in the middle of a dare with Rom." Dare? Oh… I get where this is going. There's a pretty tall pole sitting next to them with a sign on the top. It's blank. Is it new? Someone's probably going to stick they're tongue onto it. That person isn't me.

"But I don't wanna... " Rom refuses to stick her tongue to the metal pole, no big surprise there. I really don't want to see this so I'm just going to… "Wait, Neptune's here, isn't she? Hmm.. hehe."

"Ram? What's with that...look…?" Suddenly, Ram drags her sister over to a tree, away from me, Nepgear and Neptune, talking about something. The two quickly return to the three of us and fixate they're gazes upon Neptune.

"Say Neptune, have you ever heard of that thing about sticking your tongue on a frozen piece of metal?" Ram begins this, asking Neptune who, as you would expect is rather surprised by this. Judging from that, she hasn't heard of it before. Oh boy. "No, what do you mean?"

"Well Neptune, they say if you touch your tongue on a frozen piece of metal it'll stick." Ram says once more, Neptune feeling slightly intimidated by this but alas, there is little she can do. "What?"

"Yes, Neptune, will it stick? Yes or no?" Ram continues goading Neptune into doing such a thing. Wait, this scenario seems very… familiar to me. I think it was a movie I watched alone where an otherworldly demon lord was… oh. Now I remember what this scene is a reenactment of!

"No, of course that's nonsense. The answer is no it wouldn't stick." Neptune finally answers, Ram chuckling at Neptune's words while I had my back turned towards them. Simply warning her wouldn't help me. Dangit, there's nothing I can do to change this. "What about putting your money where your mouth is, Neptune?"

"What do you mean?" While Neptune is being goaded, Rom notices my back turned and heads to where I am while Ram shakes the pole with one hand. "Well, we do have a frozen pole here. Why not give it a try?"

"What you mean stick my tongue onto this metal pole here?" When I begin to place my earbuds back on, Rom taps me on the shoulder from behind, smiling at me and sitting down next to me on the right. " Who would have thought the CPU of Planeptune was really just a big wimp?!"

"Come on Ram! I'm not a-" Neptune is interrupted by Ram constantly goading her by jumping around her, saying a great many things about her and ends with "No need to use your HDD form Neptune. If you think your tongue won't stick, then go ahead and show us!"

"Ugh, alright. If only to prove to you that your wrong. Here." Neptune sticks her tongue out but it doesn't touch the metal pole, merely 2-3 inches away from the sign. Ram decides to finish goading the CPU of Planeptune with this. "Well? Go on Neptune."

"I'm doing it, I'm doing it!" Finally fed up with all these insults, Neptune slowly sticks her tongue out and finally touches the end of the sign which was blue in color. "See? Now what did I tell ya?! My tongue won't… uh, hey!"

Just when Neptune attempted to walk away, her tongue was frozen in place and attempted to back up, but to no avail. Grabbing the frozen pole with both hands, she begins yanking the pole back and forth to free her tongue but to no avail.

"Hmm? What's all the commotion?" A voice is heard from the building, a single figure was walking towards us. When she reached a certain point, she heard ice slowly crack beneath her and traced it to Neptune using both hands and feet to free her tongue but to no avail.

"Blanc… sorry for the noise.." Rom apologizes in her sisters place as Blanc is surprised to see Neptune stuck her tongue to a frozen metal pole. Blanc knew her tongue would stick but I'm not sure where she gets this information from. "Rom… it's fine. Oh? I haven't met you yet. I'm Blanc, CPU of Lowee."

"Hmm? Did Histoire tell you? In any case, my name's Thomas." I properly introduce myself to Blanc who gives me a signal to follow her while Neptune drops to the ground after a failed attempt at freeing her tongue. "Hey! What about me guys? I need help! Come on!"

Neptune yanks the pole back and forth once more until the ice beneath her breaks under the preasure and she begins to float away, her tongue still stuck to the metal pole. "This wasn't in the script!"

Elsewhere, two figures were watching from afar via an orb of sorts.


"So, he's finally met with another accursed CPU?! Haha! Hahaha! It's almost time!" An old hag shouted to the ceiling, apparently she was going crazy or something.

"This plan of yours had better work! The ones were brought were.." The small figure turns to a bunch of corpses a few feet away from her. Whatever was going on here?

"Pipe down! This plan will work! Obviously, normal humans are… inadequate. But that boy should work. We simply wait for it to work…" The old hag dons a sinister smile as she stares into the orb.

Chapter concluded.
