Time.

It is a fickle thing.

One moment it lasts.

Next minute it is gone.

Some would define Time as the emphysis on Humanity as it stands.

Others would say that Time is a simple aspect of Human existance.

My name is not important.

I have spoken with Ram today...

Telephatically I know.

I haven't even told Blanc yet. I hear she's coming to see me after IF comes...

Neither of them have arrived yet.

I didn't curse Ram and neither did the True Goddess. It's just something we both had, the true goddess and Me.

I guess, somewhere along the line the illness must have been in Ram's bloodline. I'm suprised Rom hasn't contracted it yet.

If the others knew, I'm sure they would be desperate to help in some way.

This is not for them to help...At least, not at this point.

I can handle this. It is my duty.

As the person who handles the crossovers.

I am the protagonist...The main one.

Yet, sometimes it is hard.

To be the center of attention at all times.

'Tell me something Karen.' I ask in my mind.

'Yeah?' Comes her voice back to mine.

'How is she? Is she coping okay?' My voice goes again.

'Yeah, she's okay. I wouldn't say she is coping with the loss of her sisters that easily...Heck, I wouldn't want to be left without them, if I had them.' Karen's voice echoes in my mind. 'Imagine being without your family, how would you feel?'

'Actually, Karen. I have had the exact same feeling. I have travelled to different dimensions before... Maybe I can visit one day? See the tyke for myself?'

'I'd have to ask the Organic. But sure. I don't see that being a problem.' Karen's voice comes back.

'Heh, we sound similar.'

'That's true... Maybe we should have our minds tested, hehe.'

'I'm going now Karen. Say to Ram I said hi. It's...'

'Wait a second...'

She's trying to probe my mind for my name... I'll tell her.

'You don't have to probe for information again, Karen Spacey. It's Purple Heart...Or Miss Neptune as she would know me.'

'Got'cha. Neptune...That's a nice name.'

'So's yours, you cheeky so and so.'

'Ehehehe. Talk later, Ram wants me.'

'Okay.'

(Third Person)

Neptune looked like she was in a daze and continued to look that way even though Nepgear was waving a pudding in her face.

"Neptune? Sis? Are you okay? Hello? Hello? Anyone in there? Gamindustri to Neptune? Come in Neptune?"

Neptune relaxed and closed her eyes which had Nepgear concerned so she looked to Histoire. "Any idea?"

Histoire frowned as she tried to think. "This is brand new to me Nepgear, I don't even know if anything exists in the database...Lemme check. It would have to be..."

Three seconds later...

"Something to do with the telepathic link she has with someone who used to be on Gamindustri soil... A Traveller you might say...Someone who used to be here...It'll take 3 hours before I have all the data ready."

Nepgear sighed and retracted the pudding from Neptune and headed to the kitchen, "Okay... I'll put this pudding back until Neptune recovers...Can't have it go warm."

Histoire nodded and looked to Neptune. "Neptune... I understand you have things you need to do but, can you please at least talk to us? It's not easy for-"

"For me."

Histoire looked to the door where Blanc was standing with IF next to her, alongside Compa who insisted.

"Welcome you three...I'm sorry, but Neptune's not in a good way right now. Can I ask you three to wait for a few more minutes? Nepgear's in the kitchen if you want to see her for a moment?"

Blanc looked to Neptune while IF and Compa stepped into the kitchen to chat to Nepgear.

"Neptune."

Blanc walked over to Neptune despite Histoire attempting to stop her with flailed arms and whatnot. Blanc half glared at Histoire which stopped her from moving.

(Neptune's mind)

'Miss...Miss Neptune?'

'Ram. Are you okay?'

'Yeah, it's a little difficult to get used to this place... I feel like I'm actually growing up here.'

'That's the thing there Ram, over there you will be not as much a CPU Candidate who can't age. You're more like a young girl now who CAN age and eventually will...Yeah...You know the rest.'

'Is my sister there?'

'Yeah. What would you like me to say to her?'

'That I love her. Please.'

'Consider it done. And Ram?'

'Yeah?'

'I'll visit tomorrow... It sounds like your new dimension moves a lot faster then ours. I'll bring Blanc if I can.'

'That'd be sweet. Anyway, I have to go now. I've met the Organic who told me I can have visitors whenever... It's rather nice here, Karen's a little like you as well for some reason...'

'Eheheh. Well, I'll see you soon Kid.'

'MOU, always calling me a kid!'

'Bye bye.'

'Cya.'
