Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Compile Heart, Idea Factory, Sega and whomever else worked on it.
Rom was many things, shy, a little stubborn, a prankster as both her elder sister and Neptune could attest to, but right now, she was one thing above all else...
Bored!
Ram had taken off to Leanbox without telling her and she had decided to head to Planeptune to see if Nepgear or Neptune were in as they were fun to play with. But alas this was one of the few days that they were both out, doing hunting quests. She sighed heavily. "So bored."
"Rom..." Histoire spoke up as she looked at the little CPU Candidate. "If you'd like, I found some old anime that some of the previous Planeptune CPUs liked." Rom perked up upon hearing that. "I deeply apologize, if you had called ahead, I could have told you what was going on."
"It's okay, Miss Histoire." Rom smiled as Histoire led her to a room with an old television and video playing equipment. "Wow, this looks ancient."
"A little bit." Histoire nodded. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to do some paperwork." She didn't sound too mad about it. If Neptune was truly doing monster slaying quests with Nepgear, then she could do the paperwork at least.
Rom nodded and pushed play on the video player. As the anime, and Rom could tell it was old, started up, her eyes sparkled in delight. Hand-drawn anime was so different compared to the digital stuff that was done with modern anime and it looked so neat!
What made this better was, in Rom's opinion, was that it was a comedy magical adventure.
As the first episode came close to an end, her eyes sparkled in delight as she saw the spell that was slung around and the massive explosion that followed. "I'm going to make that spell, excited!" She cheered, her habit of saying how she felt catching up on her. Standing up, she turned off the video player and quickly went HDD before flying off for Lowee.
She had research to do.

Two months later...
Ram was worried. Rom had been busy and holed up in the library for the past two months. Sure, her older twin sister enjoyed a good book, but she usually got bored of books without pictures in them after awhile and ran off to play. "Blanc..." She poked her head into her sister's office. "I'm worried about Rom."
"I am too." Blanc sighed and pushed herself away from her computer. "Come on, Ram. Maybe she just fell asleep in the library today."
The two made their way over to the library and opened it up. "Rom!" Ram called out. "Where are you?"
There was no answer.
Both sisters looked at each other in worry and made their way through the library. It didn't take them long to find a pile of open books scattered on the floor with notes full of scribbles scattered around the books. "What's this?" Ram asked as she looked at the papers and tilted her head. "Hey, Blanc, this looks like a magical formula for a new spell."
"Huh, it does." Blanc nodded, glad that Ram remembered her magical lessons. "Let's see, this is..." She trailed off as she took the sheet from Ram, her eyes wide as she looked it. "I don't know what spell this is, but..."
"It's really complex, so it should be really strong." Ram said and both sisters looked at each other before gulping and transforming, flying off and hoping they could find Rom before something bad happened.
Just as they got outside, there was a rumble and a massive shock-wave rushing towards them, sending them tumbling through the air backwards. "WHAT THE HELL?!" White Heart yelled, anger in her voice before she gaped as she saw the mountain that happened to be right where Lowee, Lastation and Planeptune met disappear in a flash of red light. "ROM!"
Both sisters flew towards the gaping crater.

Five minutes later...
White Heart and White Sister both got to the crater and neither of them were surprised to see Purple Heart, Black Heart and their sisters there as well. "Do any of you know what happened?" Purple Heart asked as she looked around for what could have caused this.
"ROM!" White Sister gasped as she saw her sister laying on her back on the ground not far from the crater. Her sister wasn't in HDD form and her clothes looked a bit crispy.
"Goodness!" Purple Sister gasped and flew down, followed by Black Sister while the older sisters followed behind at a slower pace to make sure that whatever caused the destruction of the mountain wasn't still around.
"Rom! Rom!" White Sister shook her twin, causing Rom to groan and open her eyes.
"Ram? What..?" Suddenly Rom's eyes widened and she stood up, gaping at the crater. "W...Wow!"
"Are you okay, Rom?" Purple Sister asked, getting a nod from Rom. "Do you know what caused this?"
"Uh huh." Rom nodded, causing everyone to look at her. "It was me."
"HUH?!" Everyone had identical looks of shock on their face.
Rom blushed and looked down while digging one foot into the ground. "Well, I was bored a couple of months ago and went to Planeptune, but Miss Neptune and Miss Nepgear were out doing quests and Miss Histoire set up some anime for me to watch. I saw this one that had a really cool spell and went to create it."
"...You created an anime spell?" White Heart asked, an utterly befuddled look on her face. "...And it did THIS?!"
"...Rom..?" Purple Heart asked softly. "What was the anime you watched and what was the spell you emulated?"
Rom smiled at her. "It was called Slayers and the spell was called the Dragon Slave. So I came here looking for an Ancient Dragon and I found one! Then I made it go boom!"
Everyone sweat-dropped heavily.
"...Blanc," Black Heart spoke up and looked at White Heart, "your sisters are scary when they're bored."
White Heart couldn't refute that.
I don't know why I got inspired to write this. XD
Just a quick short because why not?
