Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Compile Heart, Idea Factory, Sega and whomever else worked on it.
The sun was shining, the birds were singing and then storm clouds sprung up out of nowhere to ruin the day for everyone when it began to downpour.
Looking out at Lastation, Noire twitched in annoyance. "Where the heck did this come from?" Sure, sometimes it rained in Gamindustri, but generally it wasn't THIS heavy. Sighing, she walked over to her desk and sat down as she heard a beeping sound. Pressing a button on her computer, she saw Vert and Blanc's faces pop up on the screen, though the images were a bit static filled. "Well, I take it you're having the same weather problems?"
"Yes." Vert nodded at her. "I haven't called Neptune yet, because knowing her, she's either sleeping through this or running around in a bikini in this." She giggled as both Noire and Blanc nodded.
"I'm a little worried about Rom and Ram though." Blanc spoke up. "They were spending the week in Planeptune."
"So was Uni." Noire pointed out, causing the other two CPUs to give her a confused look. "She said something about wanting to see how Planeptune doesn't fall apart and I thought it would be a good idea on how not to run a country."
"If we're being honest, Noire, you don't have much room to talk." Vert pointed out, causing the Lastation CPU to twitch. "Don't you spend a lot of time at conventions in cosplay? And didn't you audition for a voice acting role? Plus I believe the only reason Neptune gets more lectures from Histoire than you do about doing work is because they live together."
"This coming from miss "I spend twenty-five thousand credits a month on online gaming and play for a week straight without sleep"?" Blanc smirked at her. "It explains a few things about you then, those useless lumps of fat on your chest are just flab."
"I'll have you know that I keep in impeccable shape!" Vert protested. "At least my writing attempts haven't ended in failure like yours have."
"Alright, alright, let's not try and go through the screen and tear each other apart." Noire sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Okay, so we could all do better with our jobs." It wasn't like Noire particularly disliked being a CPU, but it wasn't like she asked to be the CPU either. "I do admit, I'm a little worried that Uni will pick up some bad habits over there."
"I'm worried that Rom or Ram found one of Nepgear's inventions and caused it to go haywire." Blanc shuddered, remembering the last time one of Nepgear's inventions had gone haywire.
"Even if they do, I doubt it would be the same as that time that Nepgear's machine ate all of us and spat out our clothes." Vert commented, chuckling softly at that memory.
Noire blushed hard. "Well, at least it wasn't like the graveyard incident." Their shares hadn't been slowly drained out of them by an evil CPU for three years and they had remained conscious during the whole affair. "And at least it was just holding us inside, though I didn't like my arms and legs being stuck in the wall behind me." Though being naked and having her breasts thrust forward was pretty embarrassing, at least Neptune, Blanc, Vert, Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram had all been in the same position as she had been.
"Mechanical tentacles rubbing against my naked body wasn't fun." Blanc muttered, her face just as red as Noire's was. "Did any of us ever figure out why we couldn't get out without help or tranform while we were caught?"
"Nepgear said she created it in case another Rei Ryghts or Kurome showed up and caused problems." Vert answered her. "But I'm surprised you two would let them spend time in Planeptune with Neptune."
"What?" Noire raised an eyebrow. "You think that Neptune would treat Uni, Rom or Ram like she treated Nepgear a few years ago? I'm pretty sure that Neptune made up for how she acted in the other world."
Vert shook her head. "Let me ask you two something, did either of you ask your other selves about Neptune's time in that other world?" Both Noire and Blanc shook their heads. "I did ask my other self about what she knew about Neptune and Nepgear actually confirmed it to me."
"What?" Blanc asked, curiosity on her face.
Vert chuckled at them. "That Neptune's a mother."
"WHAT?!" Both Blanc and Noire's eyes went white with black circles around them.
"Wh..Wha...WHAT?!" Noire screamed, trying to imagine Neptune finding someone to romance and make children with. Her face turned scarlet as her thoughts got very dirty very quickly.
"Neptune... Having children?" Blanc twitched and rocked back and forth. "Impossible. Completely impossible."
"Y...Yeah! Someone tricked her into having kids!" Noire nodded as she twitched. "That's right, right?"
Vert gave them both befuddled looks. "...You two do realize that you don't need to do naughty things to have children, right?" She sighed as they still looked panicked. "From what I was told, three infants were left at the Basilicom and Neptune and Plutia raised the three from when they were in diapers."
"Oh..." Suddenly Noire felt REALLY foolish. "That's what you meant." For some reason that made her feel a lot better.
Blanc let out a sigh of relief. "Don't scare me like that. The thought of a bunch of mini-Neptunes running around is just terrifying."
Vert chuckled softly. "Well, considering that there's alternate versions of us in one universe, don't you think there are a bunch of Neptunes out there in other universes?"
Blanc and Noire suddenly stiffened in shock. "...If they were to meet..." Blanc began.
"The world would be doomed as an army of hungry pudding zombies would scour the globe for every last ounce of pudding." Noire finished for her.
"If you two are quite done." Vert was actually starting to get annoyed. Sure, it was kind of funny, but Neptune wasn't here to defend herself and trashing someone who couldn't defend themselves was no fun. "That's not why I brought it up. I've been meaning to ask, how has your relationship with your sisters been lately?" She sighed as the two went silent for some time. "So, ask yourselves this, if you two aren't sure about how your relationship is with your sisters," though Vert knew that Uni, Rom and Ram utterly adored the Ultra Dimension versions of Blanc and Noire, "coupled with the fact that Neptune's been acting like a really good big sister to Nepgear since getting home... Aren't you a bit worried that she'll steal your sisters away from you?"
"No way, that's ludicrous!" Noire huffed and looked to the side. "Uni wouldn't just abandon me. And even if she would, the chances of her doing that are as likely as someone..."
"Falling out of the sky and landing on you?" Vert raised an eyebrow, smirking at Noire. "You know that the you from the other world was landed on by at least three different people?" Noire twitched at that. "I mean, you're probably right. It's not like Neptune routinely does impossible things, such as beating up an ancient CPU that has more power than ten CPUs put together despite having just a sliver of her original strength, permanently opening portals between dimensions and making friends with alternate versions of us, right?"
"...Excuse me." Both Noire and Blanc said at the same time as they got up and left. A flash of light off to the side told Vert everything she needed to know.
"Goodness, I was mostly kidding." Vert said, before smirking softly. "This should be interesting."

Ten minutes later...
Landing at the front door of Planeptune's Basilicom, Black Heart grimaced as she walked in, water running off of her like she had just gotten out of a swimming pool. "Sheesh, that's really coming down out there."
"Tell me about it." White Heart said as she walked in behind Black Heart, also dripping wet. "At least there's one advantage to being a CPU..." Both CPUs transformed back into their human forms and the water that had been on them was gone. "Quick dry applications."
"Ah, Noire, Blanc..." Histoire spoke up as she floated out. "What brings you by? I would have assumed that you would have stayed home."
"Where's our sisters?" Blanc asked, causing Histoire to blink.
"Ah, well, they're in the living room with Neptune." There was a flash of light as lightning streaked across the sky and a crack of thunder shortly afterwords. "With how unstable the power is today, they can't even play video games, so Neptune came up with an idea for all of them."
The two CPUs looked at each other and made their way to the living quarters.

"Rawr! I am a land shark!" Neptune growled out as she crawled around under the blankets, getting shrieks and giggles from Uni, Rom, Ram and Nepgear. "Imma get ya and snack on yer legs! Nom nom nom!"
"What the heck?" Noire and Blanc said at the same time as they looked at the scene. The couches and chairs were rearranged in the room and blankets were spread across them, making it look like a tent of some sort.
Uni popped her head out from one side of the room. "Oh! Hi, Noire! We're playing land shark! Want to join in?"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Ram and Rom both said as they popped her heads out from another angle of the blankets.
"Hey, Noire, Blanc! Come on in!" Neptune smiled as she popped her head out near Rom, who shrieked and slipped back under the blankets. "Rawr! I saw you! Loli sandwich! Nom nom nom!"
Nepgear popped her head out from the couch. "Come on, it's fun, EEEK!"
"Mwahahahahaha! I have Nepgear's socks!" Neptune giggled as she crawled off.
"Those weren't my socks you stole!" Nepgear's face was red as she dove back in.
Noire and Blanc looked at each other and shrugged before diving in under the blankets. It was still raining outside and this looked like a lot more fun than doing paperwork anyway.
It didn't take them long to start laughing and giggling along with their sisters. The game was silly, had no real point and there was no way to tell who won.
Both Uni and Noire did wonder what happened to their underwear before the game ended though.

In Leanbox...
"So it worked then?" Vert asked Histoire over the video line, getting a nod from the fairy. "That's good. I was kind of hoping Noire or Blanc would have raised a fuss when they got there though."
"Still mad about what happened to Nepgear?" Histoire asked, getting a nod from Vert. "Neptune's more than made up for it, I think. Why do you think that Techcon was here in Planeptune instead of in Lastation like usual? Or why all the software publishers and game makers had conferences here in Planeptune the past couple of years."
"Hmm, I didn't realize Neptune did that." Vert had to admit, that was going above and beyond what she thought Neptune would have done to make it up to Nepgear. "Well, either way, I'm glad that they all had fun."
Histoire smiled at her. "Despite their problems with their elder sisters, Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram really do love their big sisters."
Vert nodded and leaned back in her chair. "One day. I'll get my own cute little sister one day. Even if I have to make her myself."
Histoire sweat-dropped but nodded.
What? You never played silly games like that as a kid when the weather was bad and all the electronics were out? ...Or maybe I was the only one who did as a kid with all my cousins back on grandma's farm.
Yes, Neptune stole Noire, Uni and Nepgear's panties. XD
As for Nepgear's machine... Let's just say that Plutia and Peashy got them out of it.
