Neptune stirred into a half-awake state. Her internal clock was telling her that it was still too early to get up in the morning. She couldn't get up even if she wanted to. Her loveable nep body was being held in a vice grip by two arms.

"Heh, Nep Jr.'s always such a cuddlebug." Neptune thought as she turned to better cuddle her sister. She snuggled closer, but then she noticed that Nepgear chest was… fluffier than usual.

Neptune's eyes snapped open and was face to face with a sleeping Noire. Normally, Neptune would take every chance to make a joke, but Noire was too up close, too personal. Neptune was screaming internally, knowing the slightest movement could wake up the Tsundere Beast.

Alas, Noire had to wake up sometime. Her eyes fluttered open before widening as she processed what was happening.

Thus all of Planeptune were woken up by The Screams of Lastation's Goddess.


Later that day, Neptune sat at her desk, robotically filling out some paperwork. Her eyes blank as she read her nation's requests.

"So… Noiresy finally got the guts to sneak into your room." Uzume said, while watching the spectacle of Neptune actually working.

"Think it's more that she sleepwalked here…" Nepgear clarified, "I thought Big sis knew, so I left them alone and slept on the couch."

"So, should we be worried about Nepsy?"

"This is the most work she's done in months" Histoire interjected, "I say we let her process a while longer."


"Uni?" K-sha asked as she beheld the small girl up to her eyeballs and beyond in paperwork.

"Did Noire finally give you more work to do?"

Uni sighed, "I wish! She flies back home from freaking Planeptune, and locks herself in her room crying!"

"If Lady Neptune hurt her…" K-sha's voice gained a murderous edge.

"K-sha, don't go hurting our friends," Uni said. "If I know my and Nepgear's sisters, It's probably something ridiculous and will smooth over in about a week."

K-sha considered this, "So… do you mind if I help you with some of this?"

"I'm not sure how much of this can be done by a non-CPU but I guess you can try to help me…"
