Sorry for the small chapter. I just wanted to get it out while I still had the inspiration to do so. Here you go - Chapter 2...


IF furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean, 'not with us anymore'? What happened? Is she-"

Compa nodded as IF walked forwards and placed a hand on Rom's chest. Her eyes widening as she soon discovered what Compa was talking about.

"She's..."

Compa nodded. "She's gone."

"How did...When did...Oh, is Blanc gonna be very angry..." IF grumbled as she stepped back. "Have you told anyone? Who told you?"

Compa smiled sadly. "A shopowner by the name of Alfred." She cast her sad expression over to Rom's peaceful form. "Think I should call Blanc?"

IF looked to Compa as though she was mad. "If you do that, I think Blanc would blame Neptune AND us...Declaring war and all kinds of nonsense."

Compa nods. "Then we have to get Histoire to find out...Quicker then three days would be good."

IF tilted her head to the left. "Yeah..."

"Y-Yikes!"

Crash.

"Neptune! How many times do I have to say TURN OFF the hob BEFORE taking things off of the stove!?"

Compa sighs and looks to IF. "Keep an eye on Rom. I'll go and see to them."

IF nodded her head. "Alright."

Compa headed into the kitchen which looked - Like a purple and black bombsite.

Compa sighed again as she saw Neptune getting up from a chair with Histoire covered in soot. It was hilariously adorable had it not been for the situation Compa was in now with Rom but...

"Nep-Nep, You should be more careful. And...Lady Histoire? There's a problem."

Histoire nodded and coughed some black soot out of her mouth. "O-Okay. I'll get to it Compa."

"I kinda need your attention now... It's about one of Blanc's little sisters..."

Neptune's eyes lit up and Compa covered her mouth. "Oh bugger..."

Neptune looked at Compa up and down. "Where is she? Where? I wanna say hi!"

Compa shook her head with a sad smile. "I wish you could Nep. I REALLY wish you could..."

Neptune blinks. "But she's here...Right?" She looked concerned then. "Right?"

Compa bit her lower lip and turned, walking into the main lounge. "Follow me."

Neptune and Histoire did but the second they saw Rom, Histoire was calculating and Neptune was...Well, Neptune was in shock.

Neptune stood there like a dear caught in the headlights. "Ro...Ro...Rom?" She mumbled above a whisper, taking a step forwards towards the Lowee Candidate - Blanc's little sister. Slightly older then Ram...Blue coat...It was all there, but, the power signature was not... Her breathing was not...

She was gone.

Histoire lowered her head. "I'll need 3 hours to think up what's wrong with her. Then a further 3 in order to figure up how we can solve this."

Compa nodded. "If you co-"

"Do it."

Histoire looked to Neptune who was looking at Histoire with a very confident yet determined look on her face. "Do it Histy. If anyone can figure this stuff out - It's you."

IF looked at the time on her pink cell phone and handed a piece of paper to Compa. "I'll go and tell Lady White Heart. I'll try not to get hurt..."

Compa nodded at her. "You'd better not - Otherwise, it's the bandages for you!"

IF looked genuinely scared at that prospect. Remembering what Neptune said about them before. "Okay, Okay..."

Histoire nodded and headed to a quiet place to calculate the information she needed. She was really operating overtime and borrowing some share energy to do this with the speed she said...But it was for Rom.

And that's all that mattered at this point.


Chapter 3 is on its way.
