Chapter 6- Uni's POV

Nepgear chased after Abby for half an hour before Abby grew tired and Nepgear gave her a mean right hook to the jaw. Everyone watching winces and some of us rubbed our jaws. I look around. Emma still hasn't came back from what she disappeared to.

I'm going to see if she's alright. I walk into her house through the backdoor. I stop in the hallway when I hear her.

"aer here. I don't think I can do this. Maybe in a little bit but not now. Just tell them I wasn't feeling well."

"Alright. I get that you need time to recuperate. Nepgear showing up unexpectedly would do that to someone with your past. Please go to your room before you freak out or have a meltdown." Croire says. I turn and make my way out.

"I'll do that. Thanks Cro-." I hear Emma say before her voice fades out. If the door hasn't been already open to let the draft in I'd been caught going in.

Due to Emma's reaction. She must know, or have known, an older Nepgear or someone that looks similar. Just how though? She did say she's met many dimension travelers or she could be one herself.

I continued yo muse in my thoughts until I hear Nepgear's voice. "Uh. Uni?"

I look over to her and see mini-her staring up at her in awe. Imma call her MiniGear. I walk up to them while MiniGear tugs mini me over.

"Look there's a big me!"

I chuckled. "Yeah there's a big version of all of you. And MiniGear. Big you here loves to build and invent things also."

MiniGear gasps. Her eyes lighting up."Really? Yes! Come on I want to show you what I've made." She says dragging Nepgear into the house.

Mini me looks up at me. "I love Nepgear and all. But when she starts talking about her inventions and projects. She never shuts up."

I chuckle. "I know what you're talking about."

"Oh and what's up with you and big Nepgear dating. That's gross. Aren't you two sisters in the other dimension?"

"No we aren't sisters in the other dimension. And you'll get the concept of liking someone when your older."

She just gives me a deadpan stare. "If you say so."

I look around to see what everyone else was doing. Becky and Isabel are sparring, Becky with her halberd and Isabel with her greatsword. Still dont get how she can swing the sword around like that. Then again I still don't get how Blanc can swing her hammer around like she does.

Abby was slowly mixing herself a drink at the outside bar Emma has, for some reason, while holding an ice pack to her jaw. Why doesn't Emma keep that locked up? Either the kids know they're not suppose to get into it or she just doesn't care.

And Selene was laying down in a lawn chair sleeping. With Rom and Ram slowly creeping over to her. This ought to be good.

When they got on either side of Selene. They both raised a hand in the air and a pile of snow appears above Selene's sleeping form. They let the snow fall and when it hit Selene she wakes up immediately, shrieks, and flips the chair sideways. The twins laugh while they run off in different directions.

I cough to hide my laughter. Selene gets up with a mischievous smile. "I am so getting both you buggers back for that." Amusement in her tone.

She bolts after Ram first due to her being closer. Ram squeaks in laughter before disappearing around the side of the house.

Everyone's so relaxed here. Guess it happened because Emma dragged them together before they could hate them and most of the major threats have been taken care of.

Mini me fell to the ground laughing. I'd like to live a life like this but I'd live my life over again if I had to. Too many precious memories from what happened. It'd had it's up and downs but it's what made me what I am today. And I wouldn't change that for anything.

I sit down on the grass and watch Becky and Isabel fight. Before long Croire's voice shouts, as much as her small body would allow. "Dinners ready! Everyone help put up the tables and chairs!"

They must eat early. I glance up and noticed the sun has moved abit. Must've zoned out if that much time passed without me noticing.

I get up and walk towards the house. Seeing the CPUs and even the kids helping to set up two folding tables and enough chairs for everyone.

They must do this often if they already have this routine. I wander what we're having. I glance at the backdoor and see Nepgear and Emma carrying two trays of lasagna each. Emma looks better now. She was giving off a small smile but there was a look in her eyes I couldn't describe.

They set the trays down and Emma goes back inside while Nepgear sits besides me. "How was your time with mini you?" I ask her.

Her eyes light up. "Yeah. She's made a lot of things. Even a mini Nepgeardam."

"That's interesting. Give her any good tips or advice?"

"I gave her a few here and there on how to improve what she has."

"Alright. You know how it works. If your not one of the children serve your da-." Croire coughs before continuing. "yourselfs."

I was wondering if she was as foul-mouthed as the one with Adult Neptune but she's keeping herself in check around the children. That's good.

Nepgear gets up before I do and fixes us a plate. "Thanks."

She just gives me a small smile before eating. I follow suit when I get my plate. This is actually pretty good. Did Croire use her magic to make it or did she actually physically make the dish. I chuckle. I'd love to see that.

It doesn't take long for everyone to get done eating. The kids ran off immediately, MiniGear dragging off Nepgear. While everyone besides Becky, she grabbed the dishes and went inside, joined Emma at the bar. Selene went behind the bar and started getting everyone drinks.

While everyone else got a drink I declined it and Selene gave me a pop instead. I wonder how Emma is raising all of us can dates in this dimension.

"Hey Emma. I've been wondering. How are you raising the all us candidates?"

She scratches the back of her head before she downs her drink completely before she answers. "Well. Don't tell this to the kids please. But I adopted Nepgear after her mother died, the Neptune of this dimension, after she drug from the building she asked me to watch Nepgear while she went back into the collapsing building. She didn't make it back out."

"I found Uni at the orphanage when she was two. Due to her age I wanted to give her a better life. Her mother, the Noire here, died in childbirth and the father was never found."

"Rom and Ram. They were a result of someone fucking up but they are the best thing that's happened to me. Blanc, Becky, and I done a quest together and Becky wanted us in her sharite room to see something. It was glowing white, more than usual anyways, and when she messed with it shares shot into both Blanc and me. I got pregnant with Rom and she got pregnant with Ram. The part that still pisses me off is when they were born Blanc didn't want anything to do with them and disappeared off the face of Gamindustri." She finishes with her downing another drink. "Give me something stronger. It's been awhile since I could do this. I'm glad Becky agreed to watch out for the kids tonight."

That's sad to hear but at least she's raising them to her best with the help of everyone. I just didn't think the Blanc here could be so cold. I want to give her a piece of my mind.

"Do you happen to know the Vert of this dimension?" I ask.

Emma nods. "Yeah she lives in town. She a good person. Has two children, two girls. Which I need to congratulate her soon. She's getting married to a better guy. When I found out how her last husband beat her I beat the living shit out of him and made Vert see reason. I let her and her children stay here until she got her feet back under her."

Does the CPUs here have a bad life or are they just dealt bad cards.

Abby chuckles. "Yeah right on the only beating the shit out of him. The guild got a report on how he went missing soon after."

"He got what he deserved. By the way that stays between us and Selene I don't want to hear shit because you helped me." Emma says swirling her drink around and pointing at Selene when she was about to say something.

She just raises her hands in surrender. "I was just going to say that's the reason I accepted the 'quest' and completed it so no one thought too much on it." She says making air quotes on the word quest.

While they continued their conversations I just sat there waiting for the shock to wear off from the news I received.
