Rom's Love Story:

"Okay, just go room to room and make sure everyone's happy!"

"Ma'am, yes ma'am!" the rest salutes to Compa.

"Wait, why are we saluting? We're just doing community service" the passerby asked.

"It's very Anerikan!" Neptune shouts.

"Neptune that's not how Anerika does"

"In Anerika!"

"*Sigh* I knew I shouldn't have let you watched those series" her husband face palmed.

"I thought we were going to put on a show?" Iffy asked.

"Want everyone to hear you sing?"

"This is a great alternative"

"Hey, hey. What does community service do?" Ram asked.

"Well, you just go into the room after room and make people happy" Nepgear answered.

"…Is it okay if we just tell them a bedtime story?"

"As long as they sleep happily" Compa answered Rom's question.

"I have mixed feelings with that answer" the passerby comments.

"Where are the other goddesses I thought that they would be coming?" Iffy asked.

"Unfortunately, they can't. For reasons that I do not comprehend" Jared answered.

"Like?"

"'I need to level cap first', 'I've got a chapter to write' and 'I've got to… well, be m myself for a while'"

"You made that last part up"

"That's what she was implying over the phone. By the way, how long is this elevator rising? Is it always like this?"

"In Umerika!" Neptune shouts.

*DING!*

The elevator rings it bell and the doors open for them to enter the 10th floor. Looking around at first glance, the layout of the floor doesn't look too different from the floor that they've used to visit. The main difference is, there's a boy standing sitting by the elevator playing his toy car.

"Uu? Oh its Nurse Compa!" the boy recognized the nurse by the elevator.

"Hello Jason, you're visiting your grandma again?"

"Mhm!" the boy cheered.

"He looks friendly" Nepgear whispered.

"I don't know, Nepgear. The last time a kid tried to prank me, wearing an innocent smile to boot, it wasn't very pleasurable"

"Should I take that as a joke, Big Brother?"

"Well, better luck next time. Guess I am getting rusty, aging really is a bad thing"

"In Umerica!"

"Oh, by the way, Nurse Compa, let's shake hands…" the boy stretches out his hand.

"Okay!" and Compa grasps it with her own. They both shakes hands and release.

"EHehehehe! Bye, bye!" the boy runs away with a grin on his face.

"Bye bye" Compa waves.

"Why'd he run off?" Nepgear asked.

"Compa, look at your hand" Iffy asked her to.

"Hmm?" Compa looks at her hand, the same hand that she used to shake hands with.

"Geh!"

"*Sigh*…He pranked you…" before Iffy could finish her sentence Compa runs off, chasing the boy.

"Jason! Jason! Come back here, Jason!" although it may look as though she is angry, but for everyone else that hears her voice, it's the same as ever.

"Being a nurse must be tough work huh?" the passerby said.

"It sure is" Nepgear agreed.

"If Miss Compa is gone then where are we supposed to go now?" Ram asked.

"She has a point" Iffy said.

"Can't we just go room to room and just help people?" suddenly Neptune spoke.

"She's back from Umerika" her husband said.

"Sometimes Nep can say the most un-Nep of things"

"If we're decided then, let's go entertain some folks"

"Alright!"


Hello there, community service" after knocking Jared opened the door, revealing an old man sitting on his bed.

"Would you like to have some Umerika today?" Neptune asked.

"I'll take one order of Umerika, then" seeing a cheery couple at his doorstep, he went with the flow of things.

"Elderly wisdom is amazing"


Hello we're from the Basilicom" after knocking and being allowed to open, Nepgear greeted.

"Oh? What's a Basilicom doing visiting an old woman like me?"

"We're here doing community service"

"Community service, I wish there were more youngsters like you. Would you mind tending to my back?"

"Certainly"


Hello, we're from the Basilicom. Is there something I can do for you?" Iffy asked and old man sitting on a table alone with himself.

"…If you can just sit here and hear my story…"

"Okay, then" Iffy sits on the chair.


"Hello! We're here to help!" Ram swings the door open to a random patient's room.

"Ram, shouting isn't good"

"But we're doing something good!"

"Oh my, two adorable twins" the old lady on her laying on her bed said.

"Mhm! I'm Ram and she's Rom! We're CPU candidates doing community service!"

"My my"

"So if there's anything that we can do, just tell us!"

"Well, I would like to eat some apples, would you care to cut some slices for me?"

"Okay! Here's that Rom let's go cut some apples"

"Mhm"

One room after the other, one patient after the other, they visit each and every patient they could see and provide any services that they can give. From cleaning their room to massages, to playing card games, to reading them stories and to even listening to their stories. The tenth floor of the hospital is now having a chipper atmosphere than before.

"…I'm going now"

"Thanks for the story, little one"

"Mhm" Rom closes the door.

Because of the Ram's energetic behavior today, she suddenly ditched Rom while she was in the middle of reading a book from the room that she came from. She knows that her twin doesn't mean anything bad for leaving her. But it would have been nice if she had just told her. Because of her shy personality, she was conscious of herself all throughout her reading.

She faces the hall on her left and saw the many doors that the twins have visited from the elevator. It's a quite a number. And all of them, every single patient, they greeted with a smile and seen them out with a smile. It makes her feel giddy inside.

Since this is the last room of the hall, she decides to head back to the lounge, that connects her corridor to the corridor where the elevator that they came out from. It held a slight number of couches, chairs and tables. A large window wall that overlooks the city below.

And staring at that city, with a bored expression on his face, as though he doesn't have the slightest interest at all, was a boy. Age of 12 or 13, a small build, and wearing a green hospital gown. The electric fan swings its wind by, his dark navy blue hair waving.

Rom slowly approaches the boy, perplexed by the fact that he's too young to be in this hospital, and slightly curious of presence. As though she can't help but stare at him more. The boy doesn't notice her approach.

She stops. 5 feet away from the boy she stops. And dares not to take another step. She feels she's entering sacred ground from here. A silence comforting that it almost hums you to sleep. A silence so patient and unrushed. As though it is a holy space and she doesn't want to disturb it.

"…" suddenly the boy turns his head. He had noticed Rom's reflection on the window.

"Um…"

"…"

"…I'm from the Basilicom. And we're doing community service" she said. Making sure that her voice won't stutter.

"…"

"And… um…"

"…"

"Um…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

At this point, she doesn't know what to say to him. The next words eluded her, and her mind is in a blank slate. It's probably because that his gaze is drowning her of all her thoughts. Throwing her thoughts into a nothingness. His gaze is nothing special. But it holds many, many meanings. And yet, it looks as if it only holds one.

"Um… Ah…"

"…"

"…Is it alright if…"

"…"

"…I read you a story?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Mhm…" he nods quietly. And resumes his gaze on the city.

Feeling as though something was set free from her, with light feet, she heads to and sit on the empty chair opposite of the boy. The boy still doesn't mind her. Pulling out a book that she had read earlier, she clears her throat and began reading the book with as much clear of a voice as she can.

"Once upon a time…"


A/N: You know, whenver I deal with problem's IRL. I think of it like I'm playing Yu-Gi-Oh.

But then, problems suddenly summoned 3 work problems, 1 home problem, and 1 work problem.

I mean, isn't that against the rules? Normal Summoning 5 monsters at the same time. End Turn.

So I'm left with no other option but just to set 3 face down cards and setting a monster as well. End Turn.

He then activated MST, knocking spell of my trap card out and used off his monsters to destroy my monster and my LP. Oh yeah, he MST'd my mirror force. Woop-de-doo. 1000 LP remaining. End Turn.

It's my turn, I draw a card, and luckily I drew POT duality. Activiting it's effect, I peek at top 3 cards of my deck and look at that, all of them aren't that cards I want! 3 Breakthrough skills? Yeah, not gonna help. I take one and End my turn.

The story of how i got rekt with IRL probs.
