After dinner Neptune went to the side of the house they were in and sat by the small ledge of a window.
She peered out into the skies above Planeptune where she could see a white line zooming across the sky...Possibly heading for the Basilicom.
Neptune smiled warmly to herself. 'Blanc...' She thought to herself.
"Neptuna?"
Neptune looked around and saw Peashy looking at her. "Yeah?"
"Lemme ask, why'd you decided to give up your powers? I don't think you are really you without them!"
Neptune was about to answer when she yawned. "I'm sorry P-Ko...I'm pretty tired."
Peashy blinked in partial confusion. "You? Tired?"
Neptune smiled absentmindedly. "Y-yeah...Let's just say I don't have the energy I used to anymore."
Peashy tilted her head to the right. "I suppose...Hey, hey, did you wanna go flying tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?"
Charles walked over from the other side of the house, having just finished cleaning the dishes.
"I think what she means is, you're Human now Neptune, so that means you need sleep during the evenings. In fact...I have an offer to make you if you'll hear me out?"
Neptune turned to Charles and nodded. "Fire away! Er...not literally of course" She laughed nervously.
Charles shook his head. "Heaven's no. Anyway, I was thinking, seeing as you and little Peashy here are enjoying being here... Why don't you help out on the farm and live here?"
Neptune blinked in shock. She was being offered a place to stay...At the last second, by a former NPC (with no name)...but it would be easier on her...No need to argue with Histy, no need to tell Nepgear to get out of the shower when she's been in like 40 thousand years and she'd get to stay with Peashy and possibly see Plutia eventually...
She shuddered internally at that thought. The last time Plutia had come over... Thing's didn't really end well...
Peashy smiled. "I wanna live with Neptuna too!"
"Of course. So what do you say Neptune?"
Neptune thought about it long and hard. "Let me just speak to Nepgear and Histoire... I'll definately think about it though, it sounds like something I'd do - Definately!"
Peashy sighed. "Always with the thinking...Silly Neptuna..." She turned to the doors and looked outside as it started to rain. "Ah."
Neptune looked over. "What's up?" She walked over and backed away slightly seeing the newly formed storm. "O-kay...I guess I'm kinda stuck here tonight...I don't know for how long after that!"
Charles laughed. "Sure thing missy"
(A few hours later...)
Charles opened the door to a medium sized room with two beds, a cupboard and a small shelf in a corner. It looked...Like a children's playroom.
"Woah..." Neptune muttere as she walked in. "Can...Can me and P-ko really stay in here?"
Charles nodded. "Yes."
Peashy smiled as she poked Neptune from behind, elicting a yelp from her. "Neptuna is still ticklish!"
Neptune looked back to Peashy. "I'd appreciate it...If you didn't-" Another poke. "Eh! Ehehehehe, stop it!"
Charles couldn't help but smile. "I'm glad you two get along so well. This room used to belong to my two children before they passed away" He looked down at this.
"Oh..." Neptune said in a quiet voice, also lowering her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. Wait- When did-"
"Around a week before your announcement. They always looked up to you dare I say."
Neptune was at a loss for words. But eventually she rebooted...After Peashy poked her again.
"GAH!" Neptune almost fell forwards as Peashy laughed at her.
Correction.
Neptune DID in fact fall forward. Peashy is a little too strong for her own good...
Neptune hit the ground as Peashy jumped onto her back, almost causing a snapping sound.
"Gah!"
Peashy immediately jumped back up. "Ah! Neptuna! Please don't be angry!"
Neptune looked to Peashy. "P-Ko...I'm not angry" She smiled even though she was in pain, "I'm just sorry that you're feeling sorry. Do you get it?"
"Uh-huh..."
Neptune got up slowly and wobbled as she headed to her new bed. "Come on Peashy...I need some Nep power recharge...I'll be ready in the morning"
Charles secretly watched the pair with a soft smile on his face, remembering his former kids and wife from the doorway. As Neptune got into bed and Peashy also (Although Peashy didn't need the recharge due to being a goddess, she just wanted Neptune to feel relaxed and happy), Charles switched the light off and quietly shut the door.
