Chapter Six
Neptune's Explanation. Neptune's Reunion
No POV
At The Planeptune Basilicom After The Defeat Of The Deity Of Sin...
"WAAAAH! NEPTUNE! WAAAAAAAH!" Nepgear cried, but this time it's countless tears of happiness, as she clung extremely tightly to Neptune like a child clinging to her mother after losing her once, almost like she was afraid that she might just disappear again if she lets go.
"Sshh... It's okay now, Nepgear, it's okay now... I'm back and I won't ever leave again..." Neptune, still permanently HDD, tried to comfort and soothe her crying sister, stroking her hair and patting her head gently.
The rest of the gang, meaning Compa, IF, Noire, Blanc, Vert, Rom, Ram, Uni, and Histoire, just watched, still confused, shocked, surprised, dumbfounded and etc..
A Few Hours Later...(Cue SpongeBob background)
Neptune now lay a peacefully sleeping Nepgear in her room, having exhausted herself and run dry of tears from crying this long.
Neptune closed the door of Nepgear's room as quietly as possible, then proceeded to look at the rest of the gang, not knowing what to say.

(Cue sound of cawing crow)
Neptune mentally asked, Um... Author-sama? Could I please beg of you to skip this scene?
Sorry, no can do Nep. I'll shorten it though since I'm one of the worst people to pick for writing reunion scenes. To all readers out there reading this right now, yes, what I just said, WROTE, it's very true.
Oh, crap... Neptune thought as she saw Noire about to speak up.
"I-Is th-that re-really you-u, N-N-N-Neptune?" Noire seemed to choke on her words as she said this. Oh, wait. She IS choking on her words.
Hot tears came to all of the remaining gang's eyes as Neptune slowly nodded, seemingly shrinking. They all, including EVEN Nurse Compa, ignored the fainted Noire lying down on the ground as of right... now. Yep.
*THUD!*
Noire has officially fainted now, but none of the gang cared as they inched closer to Neptune.
Please, I beg you, Author-sama! SKIP THIS!
Nope. Imma gonna type one more sentence before skipping this Nep, but you might not like what I'm gonna type.
I-I'll flip out and use foul language even if I'm in HDD Form if you type what I think you're going to type! I promise!
Sorry, Nep! Still no can do, besides, I'm the one writing this fic, I CONTROL every move that you do. *Evil smirk*
F*C-
As the gang slowly advanced towards Neptune, she shrank even further, smiling nervously as their shadows shadowed her...
No POV
After Nepgear And Noire Have Woken Up And The Gang Is Done 'Beating' Up Neptune...
"...That didn't go as bad as I thought it'd go..." Neptune said, relieved.
The same couldn't be said for the rest though. Their entire bodies were aching, both from trying to hit Neptune and catch Neptune.
"*Huff*... *Huff*... Just... how fast... did you get... Nep?" IF huffed, completely out of breath from the chasing.
"Hmm? Oh my goodness! What just happened?" Nepgear gasped, upon seeing everyone piled up on the ground panting heavily when she came out of her room, all except Neptune and Noire, since Noire was passed out.
"Okay! She;s back guys!" Compa cheered, seeing Noire groggily get up.
12 Seconds Later... (Cue SpongeBob background)
Blanc rolled her shoulders, testing if Neptune's Boot-Up Heal was really effective, "...Okay, All the aching is gone now..."
Neptune just sighed, seeing everyone looking at her expectantly now that they were all seated comfortably on the sofas opposite of Neptune's sofa.
"..." (Neptune)
Translation: I have a bad feeling about this... but I'll just tell them...
And thus, Neptune began the tale of what happened and why she was still alive and her tale during the three years she was gone...
A Few Moments Later... (Cue SpongeBob background)
"...And, yes, that about sums it up," Neptune finished.
The rest were just blinking, finding it hard to believe the story. But what other else could they pull off? That was the only thing they had, and Neptune in HDD hardly ever exaggerates. She was the complete opposite of her human form.
"So long story short, you were saved, then trained by the God of Balance, Absolution & Infinity. Thereafter, he then slowed down time so much that one minute here equals a year over there, meaning only after 5, 080, 320 years can your training be over, and mid-way in your training, he stopped it and said the remaining years of training for you would be hopping across dimensions. Did I get that right?" Vert questioned, summarizing all incidents that Neptune had said it to be.
Neptune simply nodded, sipping tea that she got from god-knows-where, her eyes closed.
"Um... Miss Neptune, may I ask where you got that tea?" Rom shyly asked.
"Mmm? Oh, I dunno. Maybe somewhere over the rainbow?" Neptune answered before continuing to sip the tea.
An awful and awkward silence passed by for a good long while, a gust of wind going by.
Until Neptune, again, decided to break the ice, "So, tell me..."
"What is it now, Neptune? And don't try to do jokes anymore, as long as you're Permanently HDD... it sucks unlike before," Noire sighed, remembering the good ol' days.
Neptune scowled upon hearing Noire's words, " Sometimes, I just wish I wasn't that powerful, but anyways, have any of you ever seen a polka-dotted lion before...?"
Ram just burst out laughing upon hearing that, Nepgear snickered, Uni giggled, Rom laughed softly, Vert, Blanc, Noire, Compa, IF and Histoire just chuckled.
Who'd ever seen a polka-dotted lion before?
"Oh, and Neptune..." Histoire smiled a motherly smile, after everyone stopped laughing, and they all grinned at Neptune.
"Welcome back home!" They chorused.
And I'm done with Chapter 6 folks!
...And I guess that's all I have to say for the chapter! XD
Bye Bye!
Seraphiane Heart out.
R & R!
PS: Hope my reunion writing and the personalities of the other characters aren't too sloppy or crude.
