The Misadventures of Hyperdimension Peashy
Episode 24
By Derald Snyder
Uzume Tennouboshi was the kind of girl who was always ready and raring for a good scrap. She wasn't afraid to get her own hands dirty when it came to fighting enemies and monsters, which her well-worn fighting gloves could attest to.
But even she had her limits.
"Usu-meeee! Play with meee!" squealed Yellow Heart as she chased Uzume's HDD form, Orange Heart, through the skies of Planeptune.
"I don't wanna!" Orange Heart wailed. "You hurt Uzume too much when you're all big like this!"
"If big sis can handle me, so can you!" Yellow retorted, conveniently forgetting that she usually played with with 'older sister' Peach in her five-year-old human form. Then again, she was only five...
"Uzume said no!" Orange shot back as she tried to weave in and out between buildings, in the hope of losing her.
"Are we playing tag?" the thought suddenly occurred to Yellow Heart. "Yay! I love tag! I'm gonna make you iiiiiit!" she cried happily as she took off at high speed...
The two of them continued to fly between and around Planeptune City's various high-rises, until Orange Heart seemed to finally lose her pursuer, leaning against the wall of a skyscraper as she panted for breath. (OK, maybe I should go down to ground level while I can, de-transform, and hide myself...)
Before she could do that, however, Yellow Heart suddenly burst through the wall of the skyscraper, grabbing Orange Heart in a tight hug. "Gotcha~! You're iiiiittt!" the immature CPU yelled as they began to spin around...
"Peashy, stoooop!" The Planeptune CPU screamed as they began to spiral downward. "We're outta controoooooollll!"
"WHEEEEEEEEE!" Yellow squealed in joy as they fell, until the two crashed into the roof of a smaller apartment complex. Fortunately, it was Yellow Heart who took the brunt of the impact, which cracked the hard stone significantly.
Orange rolled off Yellow as her grip released, swirls in her eyes. "Uzume hates falling-down dreams... especially when they turn real..."
"Woooow, that was so much fun!" Yellow said as she sat up. "Can we do that again, Usu-me? Can we can we?"
"Uuuggghhh..." Orange Heart groaned as she shook her head to get the little flying Umios to dissipate, before slowly standing to her feet, wobbling slightly. "Peashy?"
"Yeah?"
"Uzume has only... one word to say..."
"Yeah?!"
Taking a deep breath, Orange shouted into her megaphone with all her lung capacity, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"MY EEEEAAAAARRRRSS!" Yellow wailed in dismay as she clapped her hands over said ears, her transformation breaking, reverting her to five-year-old Peashy, who promptly collapsed on her backsides with swirly eyes. "Oooooowww..."
Orange immediately felt remorseful as she regarded the now-small blonde. "Oooopsie... guess Uzume went a little too loud on the volume..." Putting her megaphone away, the HDD CPU picked up Peashy in her arms before beginning her flight back to the Basilicom. "I hope Nepsy won't be too mad with me..."
Unbeknownst to her, however, another Peashy was currently arriving by plane to Planeptune City, looking forward to another meeting with her 'little sister'... one who would make Uzume really regret her mistake...
