Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Compile Heart, Idea Factory, Sega and whomever else worked on it.

"Nep Nep! What are you doing?!" Compa yelled as she, Nepgear, IF and Histoire all stared in utter bafflement, horror and utter fright. The group had gone to the zoo as they said they had animals that weren't monsters that people could see and enjoy without having to worry about them taking over a city and harming everyone.

"Huh?" Neptune blinked as she looked at Compa. "I'm throwing giraffes into the air."

"And catching them." Histoire said, she was rather impressed that Neptune was basically juggling the poor giraffes, but they looked absolutely terrified of her right now. Regular citizens who were watching were in awe of the CPU showing off how strong she was.

"How have their necks not broken?" Nepgear wondered as she tapped her chin.

"DAMNIT, NEP!" IF yelled as she dove into the giraffe pit and grabbed Neptune after she caught the last giraffe and dragged her out of the pen. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Owwies! Histy! Iffy's pulling on my ear!" Neptune cried out as she staggered out awkwardly after IF.

"That's nicer than what I would have done to you." Histoire muttered, her arms crossed over her small chest.

Compa giggled nervously while Nepgear turned to the citizens and tried to reassure them that this was a stunt and that the zoo had agreed to this ahead of time. As they left the zoo, Nepgear and Histoire had to stop in the zoo's main office to reassure the manager that it wouldn't happen again and that Neptune hadn't meant any harm in what she had done.

Several minutes later...

Neptune gulped as IF and Histoire both gave her stern looks, which wasn't uncommon when she did some sort of silly stunt, but seeing Compa and Nepgear giving her similar stern looks... She really felt like she had screwed up pretty badly this time. "In my defense, well... Uh, okay, it's kind of a stupid defense."

"Let's hear it." Histoire said. "The sooner we hear about your reasoning the sooner we can correct it."

"Well..." Neptune rubbed the back of her head. "I heard this song about throwing giraffes in the air." Everyone stopped looking at her sternly and she took it as a good sign, maybe they wouldn't punish her too harshly over this. "So I was wondering how that worked."

"Giraffes in the air?" IF asked as she pulled out her phone and turned on a popular music platform site and typed in what Neptune had stated. "Um... Nep, Giraffes in the air doesn't pop up."

"Huh?" Neptune blinked in confusion. "But I swear I heard the song go "put giraffes in the air" over and over."

"Put giraffes in the air..." Nepgear muttered as she thought about those words and her eyes widened before she leaned over and whispered to IF.

"...That..." IF muttered as she typed in what Nepgear had suggested. She twitched and looked at Nepgear and nodded. "Well, Nep, you're not completely wrong. The song you heard does exist."

"See?" Neptune smiled happily. "I was just curious about that and..."

"But the song's name is "Put Your ASS in the Air", you IDIOT!" IF yelled as she played the song.

As they listened, Histoire nodded slowly while Compa and Nepgear's faces turned red from the lyrics to the song. "I see... Due to how the singer was singing it, giraffes and your ass sound very similar to each other. I can see how Neptune got confused over it." She smiled sweetly at Neptune, who slowly smiled back.

"Yeah, see, so that..." Neptune stopped as Histoire's smile disappeared and was replaced by an extremely stern look. "Histy?"

"Neptune, you've been pretty good recently, I haven't had to go into a lecture in some time..." Histoire's eyes twitched. "So I've got... Quite a bit saved up now."

"NOOOOOOO!" Neptune cried out, her eyes white, blank and tearing up as Histoire went into a lecture of epic proportions about responsibility, not acting on impulse and so much more. It was even worse as IF, Compa and Nepgear were backing her up.

The poor CPU was unable to move when Histoire's lecture was over over six hours later.

"...I think we went too far." Compa said as she saw Neptune curled into a ball, trembling and sobbing softly.

Nepgear felt bad, she knew that Neptune needed the lecture, but she felt bad just looking at her sister like that. 'When she recovers, I'll make her some pudding.'

It would take Neptune almost three weeks and the combined efforts of the other CPUs to help her recover.

...No I don't know why I wrote this, I was in a silly mood!
