Welcome back! Last time, the goddesses raced to see if they can get Andrew to their nation, and now they are getting him clothes. Let's see how this goes.

Andrew lays around still in Neptune's spare hoodie on his bed. He's thinking about what he should do about his situation, "I'm at a loss, Xelor. Should I meet back with the goddesses and just learn to deal with this outfit?"

Xelor replies with, "Yes, it's what they would want and I don't want to see you moping like this so just get out there and spend time with them."

Andrew gets up, "Yeah, you're probably right. I really need to forget what other people think and just spend some time with my friends."

Xelor beeps, "What it takes for you to get productive."

Andrew walks downstairs and notices that they are all gone, "That's strange… where did they all go? Hmm…" He thinks about this for a moment and shrugs, "No clue. I can't believe that they left me behind."

Xelor sighs robotically, "I overheard them saying that they are planning to buy you some new clothes. It's a pretty logical explanation."

Andrew nods, "Yeah… that's what I think happened. I heard them talking but I couldn't make it out. I'm glad one of us did, at least."

Andrew walks out of the house and checks on the monitor on his watch, "Damn. Your battery is pretty low. What should I do now? I really don't want to walk all the way to Planeptune again. Boy… I remembered that trip was horrible."

Xelor tells Andrew, "Don't act so negative, Andrew. Ok, you might have overreacted when you walked over there, but you should be good now. You got some training in you."

Andrew nods, "You're right about that, but it will take a while before walking anyway. Any chance of a teleport?"

"Not enough power to do that even." Xelor says to Andrew.

Andrew taps his foot, "Does calling them help any or should I not even bother?"

Before Xelor could answer, a familiar character reappears. They only interacted once but he was noticeable to Andrew. "Hello, guys." A small tan tabby cat calls out. "Have you seen my friend, Ice anywhere?"

Andrew inhales through his teeth, "About that… he…"

Xelor tells him, "He has been sent to one of the nations' prisons. Good riddance, I must say."

Andrew scolds Xelor, "That's not very nice. He's this cat's friend and he's looking for him."

The cat facepalmed, "What did he do this time?"

Andrew gives him a puzzled expression, "This time? What do you mean by that?"

The cat puts his paws into his hoodie's pocket, "I mean that he gets himself into trouble with his smart talking. He might be intelligent but talking to others isn't his strong suit. What happened?"

Andrew scratches his head, "He might have almost killed me. Yeah…"

The cat asks, "How so?"

Andrew explains, "Well, he threw a shuriken at an eggplant I was holding and that prevented me from being rescued in time. Luckily I saved myself."

Mr. Cat nods, "I'm glad that you saved yourself but he shouldn't be so reckless with his stuff. I don't even think he cares about anyone in this dimension, only about his stupid missions."

Andrew nods, "That explains a lot, actually."

The cat smiles, "Don't worry about it, though. He deserves a time out anyway! So… my name is Scratch! What's yours?"

Andrew smiles back, "Andrew. This is my watch and partner, Xelor. He is sort of like your friend as he doesn't care much about anything and only about the mission."

Xelor agrees, "Yes."

Scratch nods, "Oh… I'm sure he'll be great friends with Ice, then." He jokingly says. "What are you up to now? Do you need anything?"

Andrew nods, "Yeah, I have no way of getting to Planeptune because Xelor's battery isn't charged enough. I need a ride there. Do you have a vehicle I can use or something?"

Scratch shakes his head, "I'm afraid not, but I can fly you there."

Andrew pauses for a moment and asks, "You can fly?"

Xelor reminds him, "We have met him and that penguin before, remember?"

Andrew nods and says, "But, I don't recall him flying."

Scratch spins his furry tail around and then hovers above the ground, "Like so, I can fly!" I'm not sure about carrying a human though, but I am more than welcome to try."

Andrew shrugs and grabs his paws, "Like this?"

Scratch nods, "Yeah, that will do." He tries ascending but struggling doing so, "I… can do… this!" He spins his tail faster and Andrew hovers above the ground, "Huh… that was anticlimactic."

Andrew looks down and nods, "Yep, you are carrying me. I'm not much of a fan of heights so can you take it easy with the flying, please."

Scratch nods, "No problem! It's not like I could ever fly fast to begin with, it's merely a way to get around easier and not about the speed."

This friendly cat takes him to his destination but along the way Andrew asks, "So, just to make it clear… you and your friend aren't terrorists?"

Scratch shakes his head, "Nope! Investigating as all we're doing. Ice just went out to take a breather and I guess he throws shurikens when he does so."

Andrew asks curious, "Any particular reason to why he threw them directly at me?"

Scratch answers that the best as he can, "Well… he might have thought that no one would be where you're at and another thing is that he hates humans."

Andrew gasps, "Why does he hate humans?"

Scratch explains, "Because he says that they capture animals and make them as pets."

Glue pops out of from underneath Neptune's spare hoodies that Andrew is wearing and he tries his best to keep Glue hidden, "You don't say…" He sweatdrops.

Scratch changes the subject, "Anyway… nice hoodie you have there! I oughta get me one of those."

Andrew gulps and then stutters a bit, "You-you like this hoodie?"

Scratch nods, "Yeah! There's nothing wrong with it. It looks really neat."

Andrew feels relieved that a character that is wearing a black hoodie is saying that, even if it is a cat. "Thanks."

Scratch smiles, "No problem! Anyway… we're already at a nation thingy. Which is it to that… umm…" He couldn't figure out what the name of the goddess' sanctuary building is called.

Andrew helps him out, "Bascilicom? It's the tallest building and it pretty pointy, you can't miss it."

Scratch nods, "Don't I feel like a derp! Ok, here we go!"

Scratch flies over to Planeptune and Andrew tells him something, "This is far enough, Scratch, thanks."

Scratch tries to figure out why he wants him to stop and realizes why, "Oh, ok." He puts Andrew down and lands on the ground and stretches, "Wow… what a workout! That was pretty 'burny' but worth it."

Andrew thanks him again, "I appreciate you bringing me here. And, you are pretty strong for a cat to lift me like that."

Scratch shakes his head, "I'm not strong. I just don't really have a limit to stamina, that's all."

Andrew thought that was impressive, "Wow… I hope to achieve that so I can outlast against the goddesses."

Scratch laughs, "I think it will be hard but I'll cheer you on, then." He gives Andrew a peace sign.

Andrew smiles, "Right." He gives one back to him.

Xelor reminds Andrew, "Don't we have to find Neptune, now? I doubt that she's really home considering they went off to get you clothes."

Andrew sighs, "You're right. So… err… Scratch. Do you think you can be my partner until I find Neptune?"

Scratch happily accepts, "You bet! But, don't you think that considering that they are getting you clothes means that they want it to be a surprise?"

Andrew haven't thought about that, "Oh yeah… you're probably right."

Scratch points to the Bascilicom, "We can just wait in there until they come back. I'll at least keep you company."

Andrew nods, "Alright."

As soon as they enter the Bascilicom, they already know that it's empty right now with the exception of one, "Welcome back, Andrew! Neptune and Nepgear aren't available right now so please don't mess with anything until they return, ok?" Histoire is still here, at least.

The curious cat gazes at Histoire, "Whoa… cool."

Histoire can't help but be weirded out by Andrew's feline guest, "Who is this, Andrew?"

Scratch introduces himself, "I'm Scratch the cat. It's nice to meet you, Miss fairy."

Histoire smiles at Scratch's introduction, "At least you brought a polite guest. My name Is Histoire. I am the oracle of Planeptune. It's nice to meet you, too."

Scratch looks around the place, "So, I better let you guys do you think while I play a game idly over yonder." He walks over to a part of the room and pulls out a video game portable and plays it.

Andrew looks at him and back at Histoire, "Have Neptune and Nepgear come by recently?"

Histoire nods, "They asked if Andrew comes by to just let him be at home. I see that you are wearing Neptune's spare hoodie. You actually got the confidence to wear that?"

Andrew nods, "Yeah, and this cat actually helped me forget about it. He actually likes it and he's wearing a black hoodie."

Scratch raises a paw, "Yo." And returns playing.

Andrew continues, "Anyway, I would like to speak with them so do you know where they've gone to?"

Histoire nods, "I do, but they said to wait here at least if you are visiting, sorry. They want it to be a surprise."

Andrew nods again, "Well, Xelor, you would be correct."

Xelor beeps, "I always am."

Scratch comments, "Yep, Ice pulls that card, too. I would have think he made that watch."

Xelor denies, "Highly doubtful, I would know if he was my creator or not."

Histoire says, "Well, if you need me then you know where to find me." She floats off.

Andrew asks, "I really want to talk to them so is there any way to communicate through you, Xelor?"

Xelor beeps, "There is, but they must have a device as well. Nepgear has her N Gear so you can speak to her. Would you like me to send you through?"

Andrew nods, "Yes, please."

Xelor beeps twice and opens a holographic screen, "One moment please…" 8-bit elevator music plays through Xelor.

Where Neptune and Nepgear at, they are at a clothing district and Neptune is looking though all the clothes they have and deciding from a bunch of them, she asks Nepgear for an opinion on one, "How about this? Do you think Andrew will like this one?"

Nepgear is about to say something before her N Gear starts to play a ringtone, "Hold on. Someone's calling me. It could be Uni." She answers it and as soon as she realizes it is Andrew, she gasps, "Oh, Andy. Hello, how are you doing?"

Andrew replies through his side, "Just fine. So I take it you are shopping for clothes for me."

Nepgear asks, "Who told you?"

Andrew answers, "Xelor overheard you guys. I really appreciate the gesture and I'm looking forward to trying all of the clothes, but did you really have to spend the trouble for me?"

Nepgear smiles, "Of course! We are your friends! We will do anything for you."

Andrew smiles back, "Thanks. And tell Neptune thanks for lending me her hoodie, It's actually quite comfy." He tries his best not to blush. Neptune runs over to Andrew and shouts happily, "You're welcome! And if you really like it that much, you can have it! I have a lot more anyway."

Andrew gulps, T-thanks… I guess. I'll take care of it."

Neptune adds on, "So when I'm not around, you will always have a part of me with you!"

Andrew blushes more from that, "I appreciate that. You should return to picking out clothes for me."

Neptune nods, "You're right!" She runs back to what she was doing as she is very determined to do this.

Andrew smiles, "Neptune is still the same, I see."

Nepgear laughs, "Yep! I better go soon so I can keep an eye on her just in case she does something that gets out of hand."

Andrew nods, "Alright…"

Nepgear waves and signs out. Andrew was doing the same thing.

Scratch asks, "Talked to the goddess? How is it coming along?" He asks this while in the middle of his game.

Andrew replies, "You heard that? You know about that phrase, right?"

Scratch nods, "Yeah, but I don't die normally. It takes a lot to kill me and I have nine lives so that doesn't bother me."

Andrew yawns, "Yeah… say, what are you playing anyway?"

Scratch darts his eyes back and forth between Andrew and his game, "Why?"

Andrew shrugs, "Just curious. I'm a gamer, too. That's why I got here in the first place."

Scratch motions Andrew over to him, "Just look. I'm in my zone right now and I can't pause or else I'll lose it."

Andrew walks over and as soon as he sees the game Scratch is playing, he asks, "Is that Four Goddesses Online? I didn't know they had a portable version of it."

Scratch asks confused, "What the heck is that?"

Andrew asks again, "They have more games with the goddesses in them?"

Scratch replies, "You can say that…"

Andrew recognizes the console Scratch has, "That's something from my world. Did you go there before?"

Scratch nods, "You know it! I snagged me a Vita and now I'm living the life!"

Andrew tries connecting the dots, "Then that means… immense fourth wall break!"

Xelor tells Andrew, "Be wary of him… he might erupt space and time…"

With every button that Scratch presses, a ripple comes out of it. Andrew couldn't believe what he's seeing, "You are more dangerous than the penguin is…" He smacks the portable console away from Scratch's paws.

Scratch gets offended by that, "Hey…" The console vanishes away similar to how monsters vanish.

Andrew asks, "Shouldn't you look for your buddy?"

Scratch nods, "Yeah… I hope my game comes back, though." He flies away.

Andrew exhales from relief, "Phew… I saved space and time from a fourth wall breaking cat."

Xelor reminds him, "Everyone breaks the fourth wall here, but he needed to go anyway."

Andrew nods, "Yeah, he has his things and I have mine. And I must wait for the goddesses to return, whenever that's going to happen."

Andrew taps his foot waiting for any of the four goddesses to find him, "Ugh… this is so boring. Xelor, do you have any apps in your system?"

Xelor knows what he wants, "I do. Please access those and nothing else, alright?"

That makes Andrew suspicious, "What does that mean? Do you have any secret files?"

"That's none of your concern. Do as I say, alright?" Xelor commands.

Andrew grins, "Nope." He pokes at the screen and looks through the files.

"I mean it!" An angry face appears on the screen which is the avatar for Xelor as it was talking.

Andrew pokes at it and another submenu appear, "Oh, I can actually customize you. Why haven't you told me this function yet?"

Xelor brings a password screen, "You are not accessing that. I'm putting a password on it."

Andrew teases Xelor some more, "What are you protecting that it's important to you?"

Xelor continues to defend, "Not telling you!"

Andrew sighs, "Fine…" He scrolls through the interface of the watch, "There's the apps." He pokes at and it and says, "Educational games? You are so boring, Xelor."

Xelor sighs robotically, "I didn't download those. My creator did."

Andrew tells Xelor, "I really want to like you as a friend, but you do not open up. Is there anyone out there that you would like to meet?"

Xelor replies, "My creator. He's the one responsible for my AI."

Andrew says, "That's-"

The entrance door opens wide and Neptune and Nepgear arrives carrying a bunch of clothes. "We're home, Andy!" Neptune happily says to Andrew.

Andrew's eyes widens as he sees the outfits Neptune and Nepgear bought him, they were a lot of them and they seemed to be picked at random, "Err… is there a matching set anywhere in this pile?"

Neptune gets a puzzled look, "Matching?"

"Yes, matching. Clothes have to match, Neptune." Xelor tells her.

Neptune scratches the back of her head, "Whoopsies! I grabbed whatever I found that was cool looking and forgot to check if they matched."

"I guess it will be ok. We might find something that does match." Andrew says to Neptune.

Neptune beams, "Great! I'll let you enjoy the clothes I got for ya, Andy!" She tosses them over to Andrew.

"W-wait…" Too late! Neptune hands Andrew over the huge pile of clothes and he couldn't even carry them and he was engulfed in it. "Can't… breathe."

Neptune panics, "Sorry! Don't worry, Andy! I'll find you in this pile!" She digs through the pile of clothes looking for Andrew underneath.

Nepgear sweatdrops from this, "Oh dear…"

The other CPUs enter the Bascilicom sanctuary carrying the right amount of clothes in an actual shopping bags, they sweatdrop as they see the pile of clothes in the room. "Andrew better not be in there, Neptune." Noire says seeing Neptune digging through it.

One of Andrew's hand sticks out from the top and Neptune spots it and tries to pull him out. She successfully frees him and that results the both of them flinging across the room and land on top of each other. "Found him!" Neptune says in a singsong voice as she is on top of him.

Xelor asks, "Why is it that you always land on Andrew often? Actually, It's rather obvious why so I won't put the effort into saying it."

Neptune gets up and greets the other goddesses, "Hey there, gals! I see that you bought Andrew some clothes. But, I think I won since I got him the most clothes."

Xelor reminds them, "It's not the amount that matters, it's whether or not Andrew likes them is the more significant matter."

Noire nods, "Yes, and we actually put more time and thought into it instead of sporadically grabbing clothes."

Neptune defends, "It's not sporadic! I pick the coolest outfits I can find!"

Xelor replies, "I doubt that they match."

Neptune continues to defend, "And that don't matter, either. It's if Andy likes them as you said."

Xelor makes another point, "Have you goddesses actually find the clothes that fit him? Did you get his measurements?"

Blanc replies, "We can tell just by looking at him unlike Neptune."

Xelor beeps, "Very well done."

Andrew smiles, "I think Neptune could tell, too."

Vert replies, "It might be the case since you two spend quite a lot of time with each other."

Andrew asks, "So, what did you bring me?"

Neptune halts Andrew, "Hey! You have to try on my clothes first!"

"That would take forever, Neptune." Noire says giving her opinion on that.

Andrew tries his best not to hurt Neptune's feelings on the amount she gave him, "Err… I don't think I would be able to fit all of these clothes in my closet, though…"

"You did bring too much." Blanc blatantly says.

Neptune frowns, "Oh…" She does look disappointed.

"There's always storing them in my inventory app." Xelor says to Neptune.

Neptune beams right up, "Yay! I knew you were nice, Xelor! Thanks!"

"Let's not get carried away with that." Xelor tells Neptune.

Andrew asks, "Do you really hate Neptune or do you say that because you really like Neptune?"

"That is irrelevant to what I said. I dislike seeing someone get upset over something that can be easily fixed if I was involved." Xelor explains.

Nepgear smiles, "That sounds very sweet, Xelor."

Xelor says something that seems strenuous to him, "I also have to mention that if I use this app, I could organize and find a suitable match for a sensible outfit."

Andrew smiles, "Dude, I think clothing is actually something that makes you liking in a friendly way."

Neptune jokingly says, "What are trying to do, Xelor? Take Andy for yourself? Are you part of this battle?"

"I am not letting what I say get in the way of this. I am merely helping in a way that I can." Xelor tells them.

"It gives me the impression that you are Andrew's oracle." Vert says describing Xelor.

"That explains why Histoire doesn't like you too much." Andrew says.

"When there's someone out there that dislikes something that he or she likes or cares about, then there's bound to be haters." Xelor says.

"Does that bother you?" Andrew asks.

"It's not like I can do anything about it. And there's nothing that they can do to change or stop me." Xelor answers.

Andrew changes the subject, "Enough of Xelor for now. How about I check out some of your clothes now, ladies."

"About time, Andrew! Now which one is going to be first?" Noire asks.

Andrew sweatdrops is this is a difficult decision, "Erm… I don't know."

"Well, you need to choose! We can't decide for you, it's a competition!" Noire says getting upset about Andrew's indecisiveness.

Blanc gives an idea, "How about we show what we got you and that will ease things a bit?"

Andrew exhales, "Phew. That does help, Blanc. Thank you."

"You're welcome, Andy." Blanc calmly says.

Noire grumbles at Blanc, "Just what do you think you're doing, Blanc?"

"Helping Andy." Blanc calmly responds.

"Let's not get envious, Noire. Let's save that until Andy decides on one of us." Vert says.

"Right! So, which of us is it to show what we got you first?" Noire says.

"And… we just went back to a full circle." Andrew says sighing.

"I told you that you have to choose! Now do it already!" Noire shouts at Andrew.

Andrew looks like he has enough of Noire rushing him, "If you keep that up, then I'll look and try on your clothes last."

Neptune or the others couldn't believe what Andrew told Noire, "Whoa, Noire! You just lowered your own chances!" Neptune says to Noire.

"Grr! It's not like I care or anything." Noire grumbles and looks away from Andrew.

"Okay…" Andrew says, "I think I want to settle this with luck. I'm going to roll a die and whichever the dice lands on I get to see the clothes and try on. How's that?"

Vert smiles at Andrew's idea, "A wise decision, Andy! That way it matters on a random chance rather than your own choice"

Andrew nods, "Yep. So, does anyone have a die I can use?"

Vert pulls out one, of course, "I do. And I actually brought a special one just for this occasion." This particular die has a solid color on each side, purple for Neptune, green for herself, black for Noire and white for Blanc.

Andrew doesn't want to ask why she brought that with her, "Good going, Vert."

Vert hands Andrew the die and begins to shake it which makes each goddess tense up.

Andrew looks at the floor that he's going to throw the die on, "Three… two… one… go." He throws it on the ground and it bounces around near their feet which has each goddess stare at it with anticipation.

Neptune says out loud, "Text, you better make me win!" Of course asking the story itself to go in her favor.

Noire agrees about doing that, "No, me! And, if you don't, you get divine punishment!"

Andrew tells everyone, "I don't think that's how it works…"

Before anything else could be said, the die finishes its roll and it lands on… white! So the flat-chested one goes first!

The psychopathic look appears in Blanc's eyes as if she heard the text, "Right… let's start now, Andrew."

Andrew shutters, "R-right… of course, I would have picked you first. Just please stay calm, Blanc."

Blanc takes a deep breath, exhales and opens her bag for Andrew to see, "Do you like them?"

Andrew takes a look inside and then smiles, "Winter clothes. All blue according to my form, heh. A floppy little hat, mittens, winter boots, a coat and leggings to match them. Thank you, Blanc." He proceeds to hug Blanc to show that he means it and not out of fear.

This got Blanc to blush very slightly, "You're welcome, Andrew."

Andrew lets go and says, "Well… I suppose I'll have Noire next to look at what she got me."

Blanc asks, "Aren't you going to try them on?"

Andrew replies truthfully, "Whenever it becomes winter or if I visit your nation, I will. I would burn up very quickly if I tried them on here."

Blanc nods understandably, "Very well."

Noire opens her bag, "You better like them, Andrew!"

Andrew takes a look and comments on them, "Wow, Pretty cool outfits here. Let's see… a blue jacket that has light blue lines making them look like circuits. Blue jeans, a standard in my dimension. That's pretty much it. Thanks."

Noire waits for a moment or two and she asks, "Aren't you going to give me a hug, too?"

Andrew replies, "I didn't know if you wanted me to."

"You should just know. That's your job to know the CPUs." Noire says.

"I guess you're right." Andrew says as he goes out to hug Noire.

That makes Noire blush even more than Blanc, "No funny ideas, ok?"

Andrew lets go, "I don't know what you're talking about. A hug is something of a norm in my dimension. Usually around friends that you care about."

"Of course, friends." Noire says.

Vert walks over to Andrew, "Now it's my turn to present my clothes for Andy."

"Yep, so I'm excited to see what you got me." Andrew says.

As soon as he seems them, his face turns pale and Vert asks, "Do you like them?"

"Um… well… hey, bathing suit, that could work for swimming. Err… I can't even begin to imagine what the other stuff is." Andrew says being afraid and confused.

Vert explains, "It some of the clothes that are in my favorite games that are worn by my favorite male protagonists."

Andrew asks, "They wear this regularly?"

"Not exactly, they are secret unlockables and DLC. I would like for you to try them on for me." Vert explains.

"Perhaps later, yep… later." Andrew says trying to get away from this. "They look like something male models would wear." Andrew says in his head.

"Andy… did Verty do a good enough job to be rewarded with a hug?" Vert asks.

Andrew could tell that she really wants it, "Well… I am not sure about the other clothing as it's something I'm not used to… the bathing suit was a good pick since I don't have one so…" Andrew goes in to hug Vert.

Vert pulls Andrew in and gives him her famous hugs, "I'm so glad that you enjoyed the clothing I got for you. I'll be looking forward to seeing you wear them."

Andrew replies muffled, "Alright. That's enough hugging for now." Trying to pull away as he cannot breathe for obvious reasons.

After he succeeds to, he looks over to all of the clothes he has and says, "I say that you all did a wonderful job in getting me clothes. This really makes me happy."

Noire asks, "So, which one of us get you the best clothes?"

Andrew replies, "I really have to say that it's the combined efforts of all of you."

"Are you serious?!" Noire says.

"Such as shame. I really thought I would have won this." Vert says.

Andrew frowns, "Sorry, if you thought that I would only praise one of you but I don't run like that. You all did me a huge favor that I cannot thank you enough for."

Neptune smiles, "Daaaw, you're so modest! That's what makes us love you!"

"Yeah, that's all well and good but we need an outfit to complete this and it seems that we need to combine every clothing to make that happen." Xelor says. "Scanning clothing items… found best matching results."

Xelor digitizes all of the clothes and shows Andrew the results on the screen and he smiles, "See? It was all of your efforts that made this possible."

Andrew goes over to Neptune's bathroom to change, "Just be a moment."

The goddesses wait for him to dress up to whatever outfit that Andrew and Xelor found and a few minutes and… Andrew comes out wearing the jacket that Noire got him, the jeans and a blue undershirt that Neptune bought him from that huge pile. He actually found a set of finger-less gloves from Blanc's bag that isn't winter themed, they were of dark blue that had a light blue band from where you insert them.

The CPUs gasp as they saw Andrew's customized attire that he set up with his app, "How does it look?"

Neptune shouts, "Amazing! I knew we did right with our picks!"

Vert frowns, "I'm saddened that none of mine are part of that look."

Andrew replies, "But that bathing suit would be its own thing once I wear it."

"You're right, and I cannot wait for it!" Vert says cheered up.

Noire says proudly, "Looks like he picked most of my clothes I got for him. It seems that I've won!"

"Wow, you girls are so competitive…" Andrew says. "I guess I cannot stop you, though."

Nepgear comments on Andrew's look, "I can't believe how cool you look now."

Andrew sheepishly laughs and scratches his head, "Yeah, I do look like a video game protagonist or an anime character. I guess…"

ZAP!

"We should continue with the quest, right?" Xelor says.

Andrew asks, "What's next?"

"It's obvious, stop Arfoire before she finishes her plan to get rid of us." Noire says.

"Get rid of? What does she have against the CPUs?"

Vert explains, "She wants a world without goddesses and conquer that."

"So, basically destroy all goddesses and rule the world? Well… not really surprised by that." Andrew says.

Nepgear mentions, "She did say that the next time we meet her that she won't lose. She's confident… she must know what she's going to do."

Noire tries thinking about it, "It could involve the inclusion of you, Andrew. You fought her and you showed her your power. She might want to use that. But for what, I can't figure that out."

Andrew shrugs, "I don't know, either, but I won't let that happen. I guess I just have to be wary of her presence."

"That's the spirit, Andy! And we'll help you!" Neptune says.

"We also have to guard our nation. We can't help you all the time, Andrew." Noire says.

"I will help you! I'm sure that IF and Compa will, too!" Neptune says.

Andrew nods, "I'm glad."

Vert frowns, "I would very much like to help but Noire is right about our nation. I'm sure you will fare without us, right?"

Andrew nods, "Yep, and if I need you, you will help, right?"

Vert nods, "Of course! There will be moments where I won't be so busy so I'll be more than happy to."

Blanc nods as well, "So will I."

The three goddesses wave goodbye, transforms and flies off.

Andrew exhales from relieve and kneels on the floor, "I just hope I can pull this off. I'm still a novice at saving the world."

Neptune joins him on the floor, "You will! And you are no novice! You are a pro player, Andy! Just like your bud, Nep Nep!"

Andrew laughs, "Thanks." He looks at his hands, "I'm still human, though. This isn't a form like you goddesses have. This is me. If I'm not careful, I could seriously be in trouble."

"We won't let that happen! Don't you worry!" Neptune pats Andrew on the back to reassure him.

Andrew pulls his sleeve and looks at Xelor, "Still no time, huh?"

Xelor beeps, "It's pretty hardware intensive to store all those clothing and a Neptune memento, so, I'll let you knew next patch." He obviously made a joke.

Neptune asks, "I'm surprised that he didn't delete it considering it's him."

"As much as I don't want to have it in my memory storage, I have no say of what I put in there." Xelor says.

"Really? Then you won't mind if I let you hold on some of my stuff?" Neptune asks Xelor.

"No chance. My inventory is in its early stage so Andrew has to bring the clothes back into reality one day. It has nothing to do with my loathing for you." Xelor says.

Andrew asks, "Will the update be included in the patch?"

"Yes, but I still wouldn't do it because of my loathing for you, Neptune." Xelor says.

Nepgear asks, "Why do you loathe my sister, Xelor? What did she ever do to you?"

"Find out next patch." Xelor says before he stops talking.

Andrew says, "Oh great, he's updating. Well, I guess we can relax for now."

Neptune asks, "Are you up for more gaming goodness?"

Andrew raises an arm, "You bet. And you are welcome to join, Nepgear. We got another controller."

Nepgear cheers, "Great! Let's play everyone!"

And so they play, what will happen next? Find out next time! And why does Xelor hate Neptune? That will also be told next time!

Magical-Death: Because he still hates Neptune? Well… you could do that, but Andrew wouldn't be able to transform anymore. Remember that he's just an AI (a very prickish AI) so this all relates to whoever programmed him. Ice isn't stupid, he just been trained by a stupid teacher (his boss who is the stupid one). Yes, Andrew will meet the Ultradimension girls once he gets there which might be soon depending if I have more things I can do before that. I'm not sure who this "Certain Ninja" is, I didn't get far in Victory yet, but I can research more on that to get a better understanding. Thanks for enjoying my story!

Akio Blade: Yep, but as you see, it didn't work.

FateBurn: Thanks!

That's all and happy reading!
