"OW! Compa, you're pulling the bandages too tight!" Peach cried in pain.

"Oh, s-sorry," the nurse apologized as she loosened the bandages. "I'm not used to bandaging somebody with a bust the size of Vert's..."

"Damn my ample bust again!" the soldier groaned. "I swear, there are times I wish I could swap chests with Lady Blanc...!"

"Aww, don't say that!" the younger Peashy moaned. "I like being all bouncy-bouncy, why don't you?"

"Because too many boys have tried to grab my bouncy-bouncies, that's why," Peach sighed.

"So just mash 'em flat!"

"I *do* mash them flat, but they just keep coming!"

"That's... another reason... I wear wrappings..." a gruff voice cut in.

"Oh, you're awake!" Compa exclaimed. "How are you feeling, Uzume?"

"Like I just got the crap beat outta me," the redhead snarked. "Probably 'cause that's exactly what happened..."

"So are you sowwy for bein' a meanie?" little Peashy demanded.

"Be nice, Peashy..." Compa admonished.

"It's alright, Compa..." Uzume groaned. "Yeah, kid, I'm sorry I screamed in your ear like that... I shouldn't have done that, even if I *was* upset... Believe me, Gearsy already let me have it before Big Peashy showed up..."

"Nepgear did?" Peach blinked in surprise. "I thought it woulda been Histy who told you off, instead of her..."

"Oh, I'm sure she'll give me an earful later..." the CPU sighed. "That was a pretty dope fight, though... even if I lost in the end..."

"Yeah, you really pushed me to my limit," the blonde nodded. "Especially when you used your EXE Drive... One or two more hits and I woulda been out for the count, myself..."

"That was a restrained version," Uzume pointed out. "If I'd used my megaphone, you really would've been out for the count..."

"Meanie," muttered Peashy.

"Peashy, that's enough..." Compa scolded her again.

"Hey, little Peashy," Peach said to her 'sister', "Why don't you go get my bag? I got a little present for you in there..."

"Actually, your bag's at the foot of your bed," said Compa.

"OK!" the little CPU ran over to the bag in question, digging through it briefly... before pulling out a purple fruit. "YAY~! Eggplant! You're the best, big sis!" Peashy promptly took a bite...

"No no, Peashy," Compa said as she gently pulled the eggplant away. "How about you wait until I can cut it up and cook it for you, okay?"

"Aww... OK," Peashy sighed.

"Just don't let Nepsy see you with it," Uzume spoke up. "Or else she'll probably have a heart attack..."

"Well, I got some pudding for her, so hopefully it'll all equal out..." Peach shrugged. "Anyway... You'd make a good sparring partner, Uzume. You're welcome to stop by Leanbox anytime if you wanna rematch..."

"Deal," the redhead smirked, holding out her fist, Peach managing to stretch just far enough to tap it with her own in a friendly fist-bump... "And next time I'll win for sure..."

"You're on," Peach smirked.
