Before this chapter starts I just wanted to say that there was an error that caused the last chapters that had the name Mr. Badd erased from the documents when it was uploaded. It has been fixed and hopefully, the name is on this one too so I hope there wasn't too much confusion there. The last thing is that I wanted to say thank you to everyone that has enjoyed this story. Just hit 50+ followers and that is a wonderful milestone. My uploads have been slowing down put I'll try to keep a good pace.

Chapter 14- The Only One

Birds chirped in a nearby tree, their sounds filling the air like wonderful music. The gentle wind moved the blades of grass as if the blades were dancing along. Off in the coming distance, two people were approaching. Though the day was just about to start, For two CPU candidates, today was the start of a new step in their relationship.

"Do you need help, Uni?" said a purple haired girl who had a bag in one hand and a rolled up piece of cloth in the other. They had just left a small convenient store with a bag of ice cream and they were now in Planeptune Park. With it still being early, there wasn't anyone else other than a few people who did an early morning jog.

"I'm fine Nepgear, just a little sore from my sides." said the black haired girl with an iron front to hide her pain.

Uni's arm was no longer hurting but the painful bruises she still had and the claw marks on her back were still healing.

Before they left early morning from the Basilicom, they ran into Ultra Noire and Ultra Neptune; two people that Nepgear was extremely surprised to see. Uni informed her that the reason she and her were alright was because Ultra Neptune transformed into her version of Purple Heart and defeated the ancient dragon that had knocked her out and was trying to kill them.

Nepgear was shocked to hear that she was a CPU but was shy to ask her to transform. She wanted to stay and chat with her and Ultra Noire more but Uni was persistent in wanting to head out.

Nepgear went to her side and wrapped an arm loosely around her waist as a precaution if Uni so happened to fall. "Uni, please don't push yourself. Let's set up near a tree and relax." Her purple-haired girlfriend pointed to a nearby tree that had a few birds.

"A tree? Oh boy, can never get tired of those but sure, that would be nice." She said this with a small hint of sarcasm as she gave a strained smile at her own personal experience with trees recently. Even though the pain of her bruises and cuts still made themselves known every few minutes, seeing her girlfriend smile at her and be genuinely worried alleviated a lot of her pain.

Part of the reason they were here was because they wanted to have some alone time after what happened in the forest but for Uni, she wanted to reconnect with her girlfriend.

They reached the nearby tree and Nepgear extended the cloth on the ground. "A nice relaxing day in the park is nice but I don't understand why we couldn't just spend our time together with you getting the rest you need at the Basilicom." Said Nepgear as she sat down on the cloth ground. "Your sister is probably worried about you."

Uni also drops to the ground to join her girlfriend on the cloth blanket. "I was going crazy just sitting there and I'm pretty sure the other dimension Neptune will tell her." Uni reached over and grabbed the bag that was on the ground, revealing the type of ice cream they had which was strawberry and chocolate, respectively on their own sides. She handed Nepgear a spoon needing no words for what she was implying.

Nepgear looked at the spoon and hesitantly took it. "Uni, your injuries are still healing." Nepgear gave her a disapproving look.

Uni, without any care, penetrates the cold creamy wall of strawberry ice cream and lifts a small portion of it up to her mouth with a satisfying lick afterward. "Hey, don't worry, I'm fine now. You know that it takes more to keep me down."

Nepgear was mesmerized at what she just saw but quickly got her thoughts together. "Uni, you don't need to be tough with me. What you went through was terrible and I hate that I couldn't help you." Her voice became quiet when she said those words.

Uni's face saddens. She looks to another direction for a brief second but then refocuses back to her girlfriend, this time with a small smile. She reaches over and grabs her hand. "I don't blame you for anything that happened. It's behind us now Nepgear. Things like that happen but don't worry. I'm going to get even stronger so that I can protect you and me. Next time, I won't need the intervention of someone else." Uni's eyes light up as her own words sank in. She was going to get stronger not just for herself but for the beautiful girl that was in front of her.

"Uni, nothing would make me happier than to see you get stronger but I'm not so weak and frail that I will always need protection." Those words hit her just as hard as the ancient dragon did and without any more words, Nepgear reaches over to grab the container from Uni's lap and digs into the creamy wall of the chocolate ice cream. She shoves a big spoon full, trying to use the flavor to suppress her emotions that want her to break down and cry at how useless she felt.

Uni's eyes widen. She smiled and without any notification, leaned in and captured Nepgear's lips with hers. The kiss was light and Nepgear was stunned but before Nepgear knew it, she was pushed gently down on the ground with Uni's tongue trying to be granted access to her girlfriend's mouth.

Nepgear was overloaded by this level of love; the love that she was deprived for two months. She opens her mouth to receive the intimacy that she desired not realizing that she still had some ice cream in her mouth.

Uni lightly groaned in approval as she felt the cold creamy flavor of the ice cream on her tongue. They both separated with deep heavy breaths and eyes filled with wonder. While the kiss was over, they held each other tightly; there love not faltering for a second.

They looked at each other with noticeable blushes on their faces. The kiss had indeed ended but all of Uni's love was conveyed in that single act.

Uni kept on staring lovingly at the face of her girlfriend, seeing her beautiful face regardless of the fading bruises that she had. This sight of her girlfriend like this made her look weak and broken but she knew that wasn't the case. Her girlfriend was strong and brave, her past accomplishments have seen to that. From facing the deity of sin and her followers to leading their group into another dimension to save their sisters for the second time along with choosing to stay and fight to break the hold of the delusion that had ensnared them; Nepgear was nothing short of heroic.

Those very thoughts fueled her. While she has been by her side in all of those moments she couldn't help but fell anything more than a witness to her girlfriend's achievements. She wondered if the situation was reversed could Nepgear have defeated the beasts and the ancient dragon by herself?

Her girlfriend didn't need her strength. Nepgear was and has always been stronger than her in every way. Her girlfriend has had something that she has never had. And that was a drive, a will to push herself and keep on going when she was needed the most.

Uni never had that. That's way she was always in her sister's shadow unable to motivate herself to break free and be different from her sister.

No more, at the cost of her safety and body, she gained that drive when she through caution at the wind and did everything she could to save her girlfriend. In her eyes, she failed, but that wasn't a reason to stop trying.

The more she gazed, the more her feelings started to focus. She wanted to protect her regardless of what her girlfriend thought of it, regardless if she had the ability to even help her. Was it obsession? Unbridled devoted love? or a mixture of the two? She didn't know but what she did know was that she truly loved her and she drew strength from that very love.

"Chocolate has always been my favorite but lately strawberry has taken the lead." She places her hand on her girlfriend's cheek, feeling the bruised skin. Her face changes from relaxed to serious as she continues. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that your weak or that you can't take care of yourself. I love you Nepgear and even if I was powerless to do anything I would still try without a second thought to protect you."

"Uni…" Nepgear holds back her tears at how much that kiss meant to her and how her girlfriend would do anything to protect her. "Will both get stronger…together."

Uni smiles, merely a front to hold back how much joyful tears she had from hearing that. With Uni being Uni, those personal thoughts are held very near to her and as she dispels that delusion and self-deprecation she made in her time of self-reflection; she lets out a breath and smiles genuinely at her. Some may think that she should let these feelings out and talk about them to her girlfriend but that wasn't the case for Uni. No, in her life negative reinforcement has been her teacher and this was nothing more than a way to use that very idea with her new drive and make something positive out of it. Her older sister would disapprove of this way of thinking since she is no longer that cold and distant to her anymore but then again, some habits are hard to get rid off. "Ah, so you want to be my sparring partner?" she said with a playful smirk on her face.

"Oh, what kind of question is that?! Of course, Uni"

"I don't know, I might want to keep fighting until one of us passes out but would that be abuse?" said Uni with a laugh.

"Don't go there Uni." She also laughs knowing that Uni had a habit of pushing herself to her limits.

A silence grew between them as the sounds of chirping quietly played in the background yet it wasn't an uncomfortable one. This silence between them was a moment clarity and of understanding. Uni still laid on top of her; a realization slowly setting in. She leans in and Nepgear expects another kiss but instead, she whispers something gently into her ear. She whispers words intended only for her. Words so sweet yet frightening.

Nepgear's eyes widen as Uni moves away from her. "Uni…are you sure?" There was a light in her eyes that told Uni what her girlfriend really wanted and she wanted that very same thing too.

"Nepgear…your it for me. There is no one I would rather be with than you."

"What about wanting it to be special?" she said timidly, Funny how things work. In the beginning, Uni was the shy one but here she was now taking the first step. The Uni that went into that forest was one of uncertainty about her evolving urges and feelings but when death became so real to the goddess candidate, she knew that there was nothing more frightening than losing her soulmate.

"I realize now that was stupid. Just being with you is special enough and I know that this will only bind us more. I want this, I want you."

Nepgear lets out a few tears of joy and silently nods at her. She was prepared to wait for Uni because she didn't want to scare her but now Uni was making the first move. "Goodness, I want that to Uni."

"Then leave the rest to me. "

[Planeptune Basilicom]

A while later at the Basilicom, a purple haired girl was in the kitchen with a flying oracle by her side.

"Thank you for helping me out with moving the dishes into the kitchen," Histoire said as Ultra Neptune placed another stack of dishes into the sink.

"You don't need to thank me Histoire. Most of these dishes were dirty because of me and I am prepared to wash them as well." She lifted up a sponge and a bottle of liquid soap to show Histoire her determination.

Histoire lightly blushed at hearing that. "Oh my, you called me Histoire."

"Isn't that your name silly?" she said as she turned on the hot water and began to wash the dishes.

"Yes it is but Neptune has always called me Histy and it feels so strange to have you called me by my full name."

"I can call you that if you like. Histy does sound super cute and adorable."

"Whichever sounds better for you is fine." Histoire waited for her response.

"I'll call you Histy. Makes the most sense since you call me Neppy."

"Neppy?" She said that nickname more of a question rather than a show of attention. "If it's not too much of an intrusion. Do you like to be called Neppy? I haven't heard Noire refer to you as Neptune now that I think about it."

"I was the one who told her to call me that." A small smile formed as she gazed at the running water. "When we started to get to know each other better, she would have such a hard time calling me Neptune for personal reasons that made her feel uneasy. It was at that point I told her to call me Neppy and it became a lot easier for her after that."

"Does it bother you?"

Ultra Neptune paused from her dish washing to ponder that question with deep thought. "No, it makes me feel like she can rely on me for anything. It makes me feel that I'm her one and only."

Histoire found joy in that response. "When Neptune and Noire told me that they were in love I admit, I was surprised."

"How so?" said Ultra Neptune with growing curiosity.

"They have always been such opposites from their manners to their work ethics and their past hasn't been a very kind one but after seeing their growing love towards each other and seeing how you also found love with your Noire respectively, it makes me wonder if it was always meant to be."

"Hmm…I don't know about looking at it like that on a cosmic level but I know that my feelings for her were grown over time rather than feeling that I was in love with her from the very start because of some destiny."

"Neither do I, they were more than bitter rivals in the beginning but that didn't stop them from forgiving each other and being like this today."

"So they were at each other's throats? I hate to admit it but I can relate to that."

Histoire had her curiosity perked and she was going to ask her why but while Ultra Neptune was almost done with the dishes, Noire entered the kitchen.

"Histoire, I finally found you." She stopped immediately after seeing Ultra Neptune.

"Yo! What's up?" Ultra Neptune greeted Noire like nothing. Something that threw Noire off guard.

"Hey…" is all Noire says as she attempts to not look at her.

"Noire, how are you feeling?" Histoire flew over to her.

"Good, I just needed to talk to you."

"What is it, Noire?"

Noire looked timidly at Histoire and then back at Ultra Neptune. "I-I just wanted to tell you that Neptune is going to spend the weekend at my Basilicom and I was wondering if it wasn't going to affect the pendulum effect that she and Uzume have."

Histoire remained silent as she put her finger on her chin. "There shouldn't be any effects to it. Neptune can freely go where she wants to as long as she doesn't neglect work for too long."

Noire let out a huge breath at hearing some reassurance to her paranoid thoughts. "That's a relief."

Ultra Neptune turned off the water and walked towards Noire as she dried off her hands. "Hey, little me's Noire…"

Noire felt uneasy about being called by her name by this Neptune and extremely offended by being referred to as, little me's Noire, but decided to not let it show.

"…I just wanted to say sorry about earlier on."

"Why are you apologizing?" she looks at her with a questioning stare.

"Do I have to answer that question?" she said jokingly. "What my Noire said to you was uncalled for and I'm here to say sorry about that because she was talking pretty big…" she looks around acting like there was a chance someone could hear. She leaned in closer with her hand covering the side of her mouth. "…she can still be a little stubborn at times when it comes to apologizing." She happily laughed.

Noire was conflicted. Was she suppose to be offended or nod her head in agreement? "W-Well, I can forgive you but I still don't want to talk to her." She folded her arms and stood her ground.

"It's a start at least. Yay! We're friends now. Let's do a handshake." Ultra Neptune extends her hand out waiting for Noire to do the same.

"Friends?" she said the word with bewilderment.

"Yeah, why not?" she makes a grin at her.

"You want to be friends with someone that looks like your girlfriend?" Noire looked at her indifferently trying to decipher this girl's thought processes.

"Yeah, I can tell the difference in a second."

"Of course, we have different clothes obviously."

"No, even if you had on the same clothes I could still know which is who."

"Is that so?" She said with disbelieve.

"I just know it." She said with a smile.

This girl was so confident yet so carefree. Just like her Neptune. Noire looked at the extended hand feeling a sense of intimidation sinking in. She dispels it and holds her head up high as she extended her arm and shook her hand. She looked down at the skin to skin contact and realized that she felt nothing. Her heart was beating normally and her breath was even. This wasn't her Neptune yet she was still Neptune. She found some peace knowing that she felt nothing for her and that this proved her feelings were genuine towards her one and only Neptune. "Hey, thank you…for saving my sister. I didn't really get a chance to say that recently with all the things that were happening. I'm also sorry for what I said to you yesterday."

"That whole purple bitch thing? It's all water under the bridge girl and I should say sorry to you for saying weird things that made you feel weird."

"I'm happy that both of you have settled your differences." Said Histoire

"Totally, this is going to make little me very happy seeing her girlfriend and her older mature sister getting along so well." She let out a giggle.

"S-Sister?" Noire felt a sweat on the side of her face. She didn't know what to think of that but that was another topic in its self.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Neptune is going to stay at your Basilicom, is that right?" said Histoire.

"Y-Yeah, that's right."

Histoire looked hesitant and it showed on her face.

"What is it Histoire? You said that there shouldn't be a problem."

"No, not that. It's just…Neptune has never really stayed at another's place and this is a whole new experience for her. I just don't know how she will react."

"You might be exaggerating just a little bit Histoire. Besides Neptune has stayed with other people like Plutia and Uzume when she was in those other dimensions." Said Noire.

"Perhaps but she didn't have feelings for either of them and…this is the first time she would be staying in another nation that isn't Planeptune. When you think about it, everyone always comes to Planeptune to see Neptune."

Histoire had her there. She never really noticed it but whenever everyone wanted to hang out together, they would all go to Planeptune so that they could see Neptune.

"NOIRE! I'm ready!" They all heard Neptune shout from the living room. Histoire looked a little worried but Noire brushed it aside as just being paranoid.

All three of them left the kitchen and saw Neptune carrying a big suitcase that she was fumbling with the lock. The suitcase was almost half her height which looked inconvenient to her.

"Neptune!" Noire was a little taken aback by this display.

"Noire, I'm so ready now." Neptune's mood was so over the top that she became giddy. "AAHHH!"

The big suitcase unexpectedly bursts opened, revealing a shower of various things like sleeping clothes, extra outfits, books, board games, papers, and more. To add insult to her situation, she hit her knee as she was shifting her weight and fell forward.

Noire hated herself because at that very moment, she almost let out a laugh at how goofy she fell. "N-Neptune! It's only the weekend. Why are you packing like your going to be gone for a month?" The thought of having Neptune all to herself for a whole month was almost like a dream come true but realistically, neither of them could really do that or their shares would start to drop if they were to be neglected.

"I just wanted to be prepared." She said with dazed eyes.

"Oh, Neptune." Noire rubbed her forehead and shook her head. She looked down and noticed a few papers that were on the floor. "What are these?"

"There nothing!" yelled Neptune but Noire already picked one up before Neptune could grab it.

She looked at it with confusion. "Planeptune documents?" A shadow loomed over Noire, covering her face as she kept looking at the paper.

"Noire, It's not what it looks like." A sweat formed on Neptune's face.

Noire lifted her head but there wasn't any type of anger or displeasure, it was a joyful smile. "Really? Because this actually looks like you were bringing work with you. And I thought I was the workaholic."

"Umm…" Neptune remained on the floor as she looked at her girlfriend with white circles and dark outlines. "You're not mad?"

"Mad? Why would I be mad? I'm a little confused but not mad." She kneels down with Neptune and picks up a few more papers. "Wasn't the whole reason we did that quest was to have a few days away from work?"

"I just wanted to make sure." She said quietly.

Histoire stepped in before Noire could say anything. "Neptune, shares are doing great. A few days away shouldn't hinder you in any way."

"I agree with Histoire. You used to go weeks with doing no work." Said Noire.

Neptune looked a little annoyed now as she puffed her cheeks. "Yeah but back then I didn't have to worry about the people's faith wavering since it was just only I and things are different now. It wasn't like this with Plutie because we were both lazy and our Planeptune didn't expect that much from us but now my nation knows that I do work and they have higher expectations now."

Histoire's eyes widen at how conscious Neptune was to the things happening around her. She didn't say it but at that moment she was the proudest she could ever be. She was about to speak but this time Noire was the first to talk.

"Jeez, you're starting to sound like me now. I understand where you're coming from and I am proud of you for being so aware of that but you're freaking yourself out if you think like that. You say that you just want to make sure well if you keep doing that you're going to force Uzume to increase her workload just to keep up."

"I'm so sorry Noire. Your right, let me put back these papers." As she got up she was grabbed gently by Noire. "Don't do that. I'll help you with those papers tonight but only these. We can make it another fun activity together and ease up a bit okay. Histoire has the shares tracked so your not in the dark at all if you forget to check them."

Neptune opened her mouth in awe as she looked at her girlfriend. She quickly hugged Noire tightly which surprised Noire but relaxed when she realized it was only Histoire and the other Neptune that were here.

"The things I do for you." She said with a dreamy look in her eyes that made Ultra Neptune put her finger on her lip as she went into thought.

As they hugged, Neptune looked over Noire's shoulder and saw her counterpart deep in thought. "Hey big me can I talk to you in private?"

Everyone stopped and looked at Neptune. "Um…sure thing little me." Said Ultra Neptune.

"Neptune, aren't we heading out now?" said Noire when they pulled apart.

"Yeah, just give me a few minutes with her please."

Histoire spoke up to help out with the situation. "I think that this is very important Noire so let's go to Neptune's office and wait for them there."

Noire sighed and got up from the floor. "Alright, take your time Neptune."

"Thank you sweetie!" she gets up and quickly kisses her on the lips before Noire can even offer a reaction.

"Oh, my." Said Histoire with a smile on her face.

Noire's face was getting red from being kissed by Neptune when there were other people around. "Ju-Just don't keep me waiting for too long!" She quickly left with Histoire, leaving only Neptune and Ultra Neptune by themselves.

Without any words, Ultra Neptune dropped down and started getting the various things that were scattered all around the floor.

"Thanks for the help," Neptune said as she also did her part in picking up most of the things.

"No problem little me. Pretty embarrassing move you did with that suitcase."

"Yeah, not my most awesome moment but I'm glad she didn't freak out with me bringing some work over."

"I totally understand. You have a responsibility to not just yourself but to the people, you care and work with. I might be new to this CPU thing but I understand that what I do now will impact more people than just me." Ultra Neptune spoke those words with deep hidden feelings. She looked like she wanted to say more but held back.

"I'm happy that you get me and hey being a CPU isn't so bad. If I could do it then you can definitely do it too and Noire looks like she is helping you out which by the way where is she?"

"She left to clear her head."

"You let her go? Was that a good idea?"

"Crostie said the same thing but don't worry. She won't do anything reckless if you're thinking that."

"No, of course, she won't but shouldn't you have comforted her?"

"Wow, that's another thing Crostie said." She looked a little surprised.

"I was just saying because my Noire was pretty upset and I didn't want her to be all distant and angry."

Ultra Neptune now felt a little troubled that she didn't say anything to her. It also dawned on her why her Noire looked back before she left. "I guess you have a point there. I'll have to set things right with her when she gets back. Now let's change the subject, what was so important that you needed to talk to me so secretly?"

"You and Noire mentioned that you were on vacation. Do you by any chance have a place to stay?"

"Yeah, we do. We rented out a small place in Planeptune the minute we got here so don't worry about that little me. Even when I was still dimension hoping, I rarely never had a place to stay."

"That's good to hear but…" Neptune remained silent for a second as she tried to compose herself. "I would like you and Noire to stay here."

"You want us to stay here?"

"Big me I'm not that dumb. You're here because you want me and Noire to be friends again. Your chances would be a lot better if you two stayed her."

The room grew silent with neither of them saying anything. Ultra Neptune continuous smile turned into one of worry. "How did you know?"

"Come on girl, it takes a Nep to know a Nep. I would have done the same thing if I wanted my Noire to be friends with you, plus you said you are on vacation, you have the ability to go anywhere you want and I'm pretty sure you have a few cool places up your sleeves but instead you come back to our dimension so you must have a good reason. I can't think of a better one then getting your girlfriend to find some peace of mind…just like you said earlier on."

Ultra Neptune sighed, she felt defeated but at the same, she felt like a huge weight was removed from her. "How about just wanting to see my little me that I call sister?"

Neptune giggled at that while she put her hands behind her back. "You waited for two months to do that?"

"I had a lot on my plate. Finding a place to live, falling in love with a stubborn yet wonderful tsundere and becoming a CPU can take a lot out of you."

Neptune's face softens but retains a level of tiredness. Everything was clicking into place and she feared for what she already knew next. "She told you everything, didn't she? There would have been no way you could have dragged her here unless it was her own choice."

"Trust me, it wasn't easy convincing her." Ultra Neptune was surprised on how quickly Neptune picked everything. A feeling of relief washed over her from the fact that her counterpart had the same ideas.

They were circling each other in this conversation but Ultra Neptune had to be the one to bring it into the light. "In that situation you mention, was your Noire the one that kissed me?" She remained silent with a small warm smile on her face.

Neptune wasn't surprised when she heard that. "I knew it."

"Yes, she doesn't hide things from me at least I hope she doesn't and I know that is the reason both of you feel so uncomfortable around each other. Before our relationship went any further, she needed to say that."

"You're…not mad right?" said Neptune. Her greatest fear was out into the light. She has tried to forget about that day but as time went on, she knew that the kiss they shared revealed many things that she didn't know about herself.

"No, not at all. I looked exactly like you when I was a few years younger and I find it funny that she had a crush on my younger self. In a way, she was in love with me before she even knew me."

"I hate that I slapped her when we were kissing. I don't know what made me do it but the kiss…felt wrong."

"You're in love with your own Noire. Maybe something was telling you that she wasn't the right one."

She always wondered that. The kiss they shared was unforgettable yet something within her knew that being with her was wrong. The kiss was a mistake but with it, the seeds of realization were planted and Neptune wondered if she would have ever deciphered what she felt for her Noire without that proof. "Please stay here. I want our Noire's to get along." She said with determination.

"I'll have to talk with her first but I think I can get her to agree." She winked at Neptune with a playful smile.

"Thank you." Neptune hugged her counterpart with much adoration.

Ultra Neptune's eyes soften as she places her hand on her counterpart's back. "No, Thank you, little me. You showed me once again what I was missing." She hugs her back more tightly. "You not only brought friends and family into my life but with your example about your love life, it gave me the motivation to return to my dimension and I would have never met her if it wasn't for you…I also want them to get along."

When they separated, they wiped a few tears that were in the corner of their eyes giving each other a smile. "Hey please don't tell my Noire about the kiss. I haven't found the right moment to tell her."

"You need to but I get it. I won't say anything."

Both of them walked to the office where Noire and Histoire were waiting for them. "Are you ready to go Neptune?"

"For sure." She dragged the suitcase with her this time to avoid tripping again.

Noire squinted her eyes trying to be understanding to what she was seeing. "You're still going to bring all that stuff?"

"Why not? Where going to have lots of fun and that is a guarantee."

Noire sighed but nodded. If Neptune already had her mind set on it then there was no way to change that. "You're the one that is going to be carrying it."

Just as she said that. A flash of light emanated and Purple Heart stood next to her. Noire swallowed due to the unexpected transformation.

Purple Heart softly smiled at her and picked up the suitcase with one hand with no signs that she was straining herself. "It's practically weightless."

"Hey, make sure she doesn't go to wild over there." Said Ultra Neptune.

"I'll be on my best behavior." Said Purple Heart.

Another flash of light emanated and where Noire was, Black Heart now stood. "Neptune, I'll believe that when you say that when you're not transformed."

As they opened the balcony door to reveal the clear blue sky, Ultra Neptune walked forward. "Little me's Black Heart or…little me's Noire, whichever."

"Noire is fine." She said with a sturdy voice.

"Cool, so I just wanted to say that I am going to talk to her and fix what happened earlier on."

Black Heart was silent for a second as she showed no signs of understanding or caring. "I don't care what she has to say about me or what she thinks. She is nothing to me and if she wants to spew random dribble then anything to make her feel important."

Purple Heart remained silent with only her eyes showing how disappointed that her girlfriend was being stubborn.

"You know, you're not that different. What I saw with the papers and how you even showed a kind side in front of me and Histy is something she would have done as well. These couple of months have helped her grow and change into a perfect person but seeing you and little me connect that way gives me proof that you and she are on the same path."

She scoffs at Ultra Neptune's logic. "You can see it however you like but please don't compare me to her." Black Heart takes off into the sky and turns around to wait for Purple Heart.

"It's going to be a challenge to get them to tolerate each other." Said Purple Hert to Ultra Neptune.

"Not to worry, I like a good challenge." Her eyes sparkled for a faint second revealing a desire within her. Immediately, she widens her eyes and cleared her throat quickly. "I mean with due time I hope they can get along well." She made an awaked smile at Purple Heart.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." She smiles more to play it off and it doesn't fool Purple Heart but she doesn't think too much of it.

"I will see you later Big me, Histoire."

They waved goodbye at her as she takes off into the sky to join Black Heart on the journey to Lastation.
