It was a peaceful day inside of a certain brunette's room. She was minding her own business, relaxing in a sundress as she laid belly first on her bed, reading a book.

She wasn't too fond of stories that featured girls as the leads and as love interests, but this one story caught her attention. It was a story of a group of girls who lost their divine powers and had aged up, and now had to deal with the consequences that came with that. It was also painfully obvious that the author wanted to pair up the purple haired woman with the brunette. And those two characters were pretty close in appearance and mannerisms to herself and another 'friend' she knew…

Then the brunette heard a loud knock on her entrance door, followed by a familiar voice.

"Blanc? Hello? Are you there? I wanted to talk!"

The brunette, Blanc, sighed and stood up from her bed. Placing a bookmark where she was in the novel, she placed it down and walked towards the entrance to her room.

"What do you want, Neptune? I was hoping to spend my spring break alone and reading books. So why did you come and ruin that now?"

The woman, a person with short, purple hair, purple eyes, and d-pad hair clips on either end of her hair as features and accessories, was wearing…

"Why are you wearing only an oversized T-shirt, Neptune?"

Neptune smirked, "I'll have you know its very comfy actually! I don't need to worry about anything other than-"

"The fact you're wearing nothing underneath other than your panties and the fact that a light breeze will expose your privates?" Blanc retorted

Neptune sighed, "You're wearing a sundress, Blanc. You have he same problems I have."

Blanc nodded, "Yes. But it's a dress. Rather than an oversized T-shirt. At least have the decency to put on some short shorts at the very least."

The brunette put a hand to her face and sighed, "Anyway, what did you actually knock on my door for? I imagine it can't be anything goo-"

Neptune flashed two plane tickets in front of Blanc's face as she invited herself in, much to Blanc's chagrin. "Guess what the destination is."

Blanc immediately snatched both tickets from Neptune's hand after closing the door behind her, and read in silence the outbound destination listed on them.

Neptune had a triumphant look on her face as she made her way to the living room, and Blanc was still reading the tickets.

Before Blanc looked up to her 'friend' with angry eyes and a bewildered look on her face as she handed the purplette the tickets back.

"Why…?!" she'd ask quietly, "Why go through all of the trouble to buy tickets headed to Lowee to begin with?!"

Neptune beamed a smile and a peace sign in response. "Because, Blanc! You are my friend! At least more so than Vert and Noire are. Plus, remember on Christmas day?"

Blanc nodded

"You mentioned how you wanted to see your sisters right? So I saved up enough money to buy tickets to Lowee! For the both of us! For the whoooole duration of summer break as well!"

"Wait…" Now Blanc was really confused, "You and I? I thought it was for you and Nepgear?"

Neptune gave a dismissive wave, "Psssh, naw. Nepgear may worry about me, but when I explained to her that I wanted to take care of you and make sure you got to see your younger sisters, she understood instantly."

Blanc let out a nervous sweat, "I think she's just glad that you're putting effort into anything…" she muttered under her breath.

Neptune tilted her read, "Did you say something, Blanc?"

The brunette in question simply shook her and let out a simple cough. "Nothing."

"Anyway! You should be thanking me! You get to visit your sisters, and you get to bring along a cute friend in the process!"

"Who said you were my friend?"

"An acquaintance wouldn't go out of their way to ensure another acquaintance's happiness now would they?"

Blanc remained silent at that.

Eventually she sighed, "Fine. You are my friend, but please I swear to Celestia, put some shorts on! Do you at least have luggage prepar-"

Neptune nodded enthusiastically, "Yeppers! Junior helped me with that! We leave tomorrow morning actually!"

"TOMORROW MORNING?! NEPTUNE YOU DUNCE LET ME KNOW AHEAD OF TIME!"

And thus began Blanc's hectic preparations to pack her luggage with a whole month's worth of clothing before the next morning rolled around.

All the while Neptune was laughing gleefully at Blanc's state of panic…

I know I haven't been doing much fanfiction writing recently, but that's because I've been busy with competitive team stuff for Gundam Evolution. not gonna plug that.

Instead, know that Negadimension's 12th chapter is still being worked on, and it will be a big chapter. In the meanwhile I hope this is an adequate interim while you all wait.

Thank you for the continued patience!
