I wake up the next morning to the usual time of around 10 am.
Nepgear is, unsurprisingly, still sleeping and...
Last night...
Yeah... I'll skip that. I want at least some privacy.

Dressed and... uh, just dressed yet, we step out of my room.
I'm sleepy and we're way too relaxed right now.
That's why neither me nor Nepgear really cared about the police officer next to my mom in the living room.
The person in question was about to stand up and talk to us, when I calmly say "Let us eat breakfast first at least."
"Sure..." And to the kitchen.

So... breakfast.
Not too much here anyways, so I offer her a bowl of cereal and milk, then eat one myself.
And that's that.

Walking back to the officer who still sits next to my mom at the table in the living room, breakfast eaten, I and Nepgear sit down as well.
I realize it just now, but Nepgear looks kind of distressed.
In response, I put a hand on her shoulder and give her a calm smile.

Now that's taken care of...
"Where have you been, where is your sister and how is she related to it?"
Oh... off to a a fantastic start.
"Speak English, so she can understand you better, please." I reply.
"Okay then, still, I want an answer."
"I all honesty, you wouldn't believe me. But either way, I was somewhere on my free will and my sister is still there. And she's not related to this at all."
The officer gives me a really distrusting look. "Where is somewhere?"
"Oh, trust me. That's beyond what I can tell you. Not that you would believe it anyways. We can call my sister if you want to, though."
"That's good enough I suppose... but with video feed if possible." "Okay then, officer."
Magically summoning my phone from my inventory I open up Skype and request a video call with the message 'Police for some reason. Important!'.
Didn't take long for Diana to answer.

"Hey." Diana greets us boredly.
It is easily recognizable that she is in her HDD. The bright blue, shiny hair and the part of the dress visible. And her wings sticking out behind her.
The Gamindustri Graveyard is also visible in the background.
"Hey, Diana. Done with what you were doin'?" I return the greeting. "Not really. There's still a lot to do."
"Hello. Is everything okay over there?" Nepgear asks. "Everything's fine here, no worries, Gear."
"That's not Diana..." ...What kind of mother does not recognize her children?!
"It's a hair style, not terrorism." Diana replies annoyed, dull look on her face accompanied.
"And, officer, what was the reason you needed to talk to me?" She continues, now questioning the officer.
"Supposedly kidnapping. Seems to be a-okay though." "Good. Then leave. Me. Alone. I'm busy." She immediately quits the call.

...

"Ahem... Sorry for the inconvenience then." The officer excuses his actions and... well, leaves.
My mother brings him to the door then.
Still, she returns with an annoyed look on her face.
Oh, boy. This is not gonna be fun.

My mom was in the process of lecturing me when something unexpected happened:
Nepgear, who was still besides us, snapped at my mom.
Some words were yelled, nobody should even know in the first place...
Of course my mother wasn't really happy about that, so she took a swing, which Nepgear simply blocked and countered.

And now...

They're in a full-on fist-fight.
And I'm just standing here... watching how my shy girlfriend beats up my mother.

Like... What the hell is this?!

Okay... so what do I have in my inventory to discharge such a situation?
'Dogoo Jelly: Crafting Material' Nope. This is not supposed to be a prank.
'Drill (Red Idea Chip) - Full HP and SP recover on HDD activation' I can't even equip disks, why do I have this?
'4 Goddesses Portable: Game release for the LSP' Games can't solve everything.
'TM ~Flash~ Disk: Flashes bright light, blinding enemies. Reduces TEC.' That should do.

So I throw the disk on the ground and cover my eyes.
A 'clang' resounds, drawing their attention towards the disk. And: *FLASH* Blinded.

I carefully grab Nepgear's arm and slowly drag her to my room, telling her what happened.
"I don't like her..." That sinister feeling in her voice is new to me though...

After both 'parties' calmed down, I and Nepgear finally finish the general morning routine, like brushing teeth and showering.
Coming out of the bathroom, we are once more greeted by the police officer and my mother frantically explaining something.

Sighing, we go over to the table we had been at before.

"Why are you here again?" I question in an annoyed tone.
"Complaint about willful injury."
I facepalm. Hard.
"But... She began..." Nepgear explains.
"No, she did!"

Okay, if I don't stop them now, this is gonna escalate once more.
"First off: My mother divided the first blow. Second off: I see no injuries." I said dully.
"..." "...uh..."
"*sigh* Bye. I'm not going to argue."

The police officer simply stands up and walks out the entrance.

Once he's gone, my mother takes another swing at Nepgear and is blocked once more.
Before that happens once more, I drag the lilac-haired girl to my room.

Since my mother obviously doesn't want to spend time with us, I turned on my PC, still standing in my room, how it used to.
I'll call Jonny. If he's 'alive', that is. It's a joke about how he has times he isn't at his PC at all for weeks.
I have called him from the Hyperdimension a few times as well, where Nepgear actually joined into the conversation.
Though he seemed to have thought I joked about the 'alternate dimension' part.

Looks like Jonny is on Skype...

"Hey, Jonny." "Hey, DP." He's been calling me that ever since the first day I knew him.
"Hello, Jonny." Nepgear adds her greeting.
"Gear is here as well? Hey then. Wow, you're really clinging to her, DP."
"Says the guy who gave himself the nickname rape-machine once." I chuckle saying that.
We still don't know just how he got the idea to call himself that. We, so I and Diana, Jonny and Matt, were just domin- uh, playing Minecraft PvP.
"Ahem... So... why'd you call again?" Changing topics, I see... Let's just roll with it.
"We wanted to tell you, we're currently in this dimension." Nepgear answers.
"Yeah, 'this dimension'. Great." 'Believing' us as always.

"What kind of proof do you need?" "How about you fly by my home and show me your HD-something."
While he is obviously joking, not a bad idea actually. I've wanted to visit him for a long time and... well, now I can fly over there.
"Why not, I mean we can fly... We'd need your address though." "Yeah... sure..."
He types and... messages us an address that is definitely fake.
"Like, your actual address, genius." I do my best to say this in the most serious voice I can possibly produce.
"*Pfft*... fine."
That... looks like an actual address.

"Thank you, Jonny." Nepgear thanks him.
"Yeah, we'll come right over... that is, if we may."
"Sure, go ahead. I don't have any appointments."
"Bye then, see ya." I and Nepgear chime in unison.

And I quit the call.

I turn towards the girl. "Looks like we have a plan for today, dear."
"Yeah, I'm somewhat excited to meet him even though I don't know him for long."
"Me too. The first part." I agree.
"Me three." Wait, who said that?

We turn around to see Diana... still in her HDD for some reason.

Nepgear takes the initiative and greets her.
"Hi, Diana. Nice seeing you again. It's been some time."
I greet her as well. "Yeah, hey, Diana. Done with whatever you've been doing at the Graveyard? What have you been doing anyways?"
"Hi, sweethearts. Not really, but the rest of the work will be done for me." My sister explains.

"What do you mean?" I question, slightly tilting my head doing so. Nepgear mimics my action.
"I'll tell you on the way to Jonny. Long story."

I just shrug and out we go, making sure our mom doesn't notice. Which isn't difficult by the way.
And I didn't forget keys. We wanna come back in when we return.
