*Deniz' PoV*

Noire put the outfits on in a separate room. There was nothing too weird.
One of them though was a purple one-piece suit without legs or arms with golden lines running down the sides. There were also angel wings attached to it.
... Looked familiar, that's why I am mentioning it.
And she gave me an outfit as well. Red hat with a white front, black shirt, red pants, green scarf and a black wig with a green headset...
In my size.

I didn't question it though.

I'm not wearing it right now though. I instead stored it in my inventory.
And I'm flying back to Planeptune right now.
Not on the straight path though. I learned from the last time...

I can still feel the impact...

I wonder what the girls are up to.


*Nepgear's PoV*

*snore*

They... all fell asleep.
Aww...

I wonder when Deniz will return though, he's been gone for some time now.

"Why are they asleep?" Linda walks into the room with a confused look on her face.
"Probably exhausted from... doing nothing and gaming... You're probably done with your work, right?" I quickly switch the topic because... I don't know.
"Yeah, I am."

Silence...

"Let's just get a drink." I suggest.
"Yeah, sure."


*Deniz' PoV*

Probably chaos now that Neptune's back.
Uh... this might take a little longer...

But it's a beautiful day outside, isn't it?
Flowers are blooming, birds are singing...

And on days like these...

...I had to 'capture' a bunch of Inklings and Octarians, watch a girl cosplay and fly at least a couple of hours through the sky, being bored and separated from my girlfriend.

Not my favorite day thus far...
Well... it's almost evening.
Not a too good day.


I land on the Basilicom's balcony...

I. AM. BACK!
AND NO PLACE TO GO ANYMORE!

My phone rings...
I turn off my phone.

AND NO PLACE TO GO ANYMORE!

"Hey, I'm... back..."

Nope, no chaos. Just a dozen sleeping people...
The Inklings and Octarians, Neptune, Nepgear, Linda and Nepgeo.

And Nepgeo is hugging Linda...
Something about that is disturbing me...

...

What the hell.

I lay down next to the group (in contrast to some others) and quickly fall asleep...
What a day.


I wake up.
Neptune is sleeping on my face.

...

Uh, I'll try again later.


Waking up once again.
Nobody's on my face.

I feel something on my crotch though.
Looking down, I see that it's Viola... face down.
Yeah, no thank you.

I turn slightly to the side so she slides off me.
Then I get up and head towards the kitchen...

Neptune sits at the table. Sleeping. Face in a cup of pudding.
Other than that, Nepgear, Linda, Nepgeo and Histoire are at the table eating their food like normal people.

As normal as the Hyperdimension gets at least.

Nepgeo is also awkwardly close to Linda...
Uh...

"Morning." I greet the group.
"Mornin'" They reply.
"DON'T TAKE MY PUDDING!" Neptune suddenly snaps awake, splattering pudding across the room and flipping the pudding cup. "MY PUDDING!" Neptune is now sobbing but at least awake... That's a good thing. I think. Probably not, but whatever.

Everybody is also giving her a dull look.

I just sit down next to Nepgear and eat breakfast as well...

I am not kidding, this is even more random than it usually is.
Damn you, Geo.


"Okay, Histoire. What is the plan?"
We are still sitting at the table, though now discussing about where the kids should go.

"Well, they can't stay here, I'm not okay with them sleeping on the floor. (-.-#) And we don't have enough beds for all of them."

"Hey, guys.~ What're talkin' 'bout?~" Viola just entered the room, munching on some random cookie she probably found... somewhere.
"Discussing where you and your friends can stay." Histoire explains.
"They...~ *munch* ...were picked up by Mr. Octavio just now.~"

...

"Excuse me?"
"He opened a portal.~ Somehow.~"
"And why are you still here?" Nepgear asks.
"More fun here.~ Besides, Roxie said I could call anytime.~"

...

"I guess this discussion is pointless then..." Histoire sighs. "You can have the second guest room. Do you know where it is."
"I'll find it myself.~ Don't worry.~"

And with that, she leaves the room again, plopping the last piece of the cookie in her mouth.

"It's getting somewhat crowded here, huh?" Linda points out.
"The more people, the better! Wait for me, Viola!" Neptune jumps out of chair, over the table and runs after the Inkling.

Histoire just sighs once more.

It is at that moment that I realize where she got the cookie from. From my pocket.
Uni gifted it to me when I wanted to leave the Lastation Basilicom and met her.
NO! MY COOKIE!


Nepgear and I went to her room.
For cuddles, kisses and chatting about what happened. (I'll never say something like that again. -.-)

She told me about how uninteresting and 'normal' the last day was in comparison to anything that happened before. Diana and Matt haven't returned, but they called that they would wait for Jonny to get better before returning.
I told her about how we stopped a bank-robbery and quickly found the ink-shooters. I also hinted at what Matt did and left out most of what I did in Lastation.

Nepgear seemed impressed by our actions at the bank.

And now we're cuddling.
"I missed you."
"I haven't even been away for one day... But I missed you as well."
"Neptune and the kids were great company but I don't want you to leave."
"Don't you think you're a little clingy?" I lightly pinch her cheek.
"Ow, yeah, you're probably right."
"Nah, it's fine as long as I have some privacy when I want to."
"Sounds good." She smiles at me.

*SNAP*
The sound of a camera makes us look at the door... which is open now, even though we closed it before.

There stands Nepgeo with a camera.
"Yas, this is ought to gimme some more attention on the interwebz!"
Then she runs off.

"Why do you allow her to stay in the Basilicom again?" I question.
"I forgot." She awkwardly laughs.


*Meanwhile, in another Gamindustri, different from ours...*

The girl sits in front of her desk once more, though her usual work-load is replaced by a lot of complaints from the citizens.
Most of them demand that she would leave. Some even state that they would form a rebellion.

"But I have tried so hard... What should I do? I can't handle this anymore... Not without help..."

She looks out of the window, a desperate yet dreamy look on her face.

"If there was just anybody here to help me... But no-matter who I call, they won't pick up."

Her eyes shortly latch onto the sword. "KiLl tHEm alL!" Then she shakes her head and instead looks at the already dusty device on her desk.

"I can't kill anybody else. I can't bring myself to do it... What would be the point in that anyways?" "YoU mUst dO It!" "No... Not again..."

She picks up the device and gently dusts it off.
Her desperate look turns into a determined one in a matter of seconds.

"I am going to publicize that I will leave." She pauses for a second before adding. "And won't return."

She takes an empty piece of paper and a pen. "Let's get the preparations done... Well, the little that is necessary..."
She starts scribbling onto the paper...

Final message to the citizens

Please come to the stadium this Wednesday.
The CPU has an important message for all of Gamindustri.
You are not expected to come.

But please do.


A/N

This is where I would usually say something important or relevant but really...
There is nothing really relevant. I played Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds.
Well, I completely rewrote the last paragraph...
Have a nice day.
