Hehehe and welcome back to my collection, where this week I get the excuse to use a deep dive ship I'm a fan of. Hope you all enjoy it!
"Neptuna!" A firm voice echoed the halls of Planeptune's basilicom, as down the hall a purple haired woman felt her head pop up upon hearing the voice, Neptune got up from her comfortable bean bag as she made her way to where the voice had emanated from,
"And where do you think you're going, young lady?" She asked, interrogating the blonde.
"Hm? Whaddya mean? I told you yesterday, didn't I? Ram invited me out." She responded as Neptune sighed,
"I know. I just wanted to use that line once" She chuckled and the blonde rolled her bright blue eyes, "enjoy yourself, P-ko~" Neptune cooed as she had to get on her tippy toes in order to ruffle the girls hair,
"Jeez… Neptuna… I'm not a little girl anymore…" Peashy whined as she tried to fix her hair, pouting as she looked down at the CPU.
"I don't care how big you are, or how tall you get. You'll always be my little P-ko" Neptune crossed her arms as she smiled, Peashy rolling her eyes again as she began out the door, "tell Blanc I said heya!" Neptune waved as Peashy left the building. The door soon shutting behind her as Neptune let out an indifferent sigh, soon turning to face the other blonde she knew was looking on,
"Neptune…"
"It's ok Histy… I know… P-ko isn't my little girl anymore. How selfish would it be of me to expect her to stay that little girl forever…" Neptune explained with a solemn smile on her face, before feeling a small hand on her shoulder,
"But she always will be in your memories." Histoire gently explained to her protege,
"Thank you Histy" Neptune smiled. She supposed… that was right. P-ko would always be her little P-ko. No matter how many decades passed…
Across the continent, in the massive castle that was Lowee's basilicom, in the shared room of the CPU candidates, a brunette with long hair bit her nails as she looked between 3 outfits on her bed,
"This one is so pretty… but is it too fancy? But what about this one, it compliments my eyes…." Ram whined as she looked back and forth between the outfits, clearly nervous about something.
"Ram…" the other goddess candidate in the room sighed, pushing up her glasses as she closed her book. She didn't know where Ram had picked this up over the several decades since they were but small kids, but Ram's obsession with fashion baffled her at times.
Seeing her words had clearly fallen on deaf ears, she sighed as she stood up from her chair, walking over to her twin as she placed her hands on her shoulders,
"Eh? What do you think, Rom? This one right? It shows of my hips and-"
"Ram. I promise Peashy won't care which dress you pick" Rom softly spoke, as Ram sharply gasped,
"A-a-and who said it had anything to do with that blockhead!" Ram snapped, whipping her head around to glare at her technically older twin, but as she glanced at her face, she saw only smugness written all over her face. Long since gone were the days where Rom was the shy little girl who could hardly express herself… at least and most apparent around her twin.
"Yes I'm sure you're just meeting a friend and you just happened to tell me that I can't come with you for no reason at all. And I'm sure those chocolates you're hiding in your dresser mean nothing" Rom smugly assaulted her twin, who shrunk more and more, her face turning a shade that resembled the color she was known for,
"Its nothing! Shut up Rom! What do you know!" Ram yelled in embarrassment, as Rom's face morphed from its earlier smugness to a gentle smile,
"I know you, Ram" Rom gently presented, as Ram felt an indifferent look form on her face, as she saw this, Rom gently grasped her twin's hands, "it's ok, Ram. I promise. Just tell her how you feel" Rom reassured, as Ram looked down,
Rom knew really. She didn't even have to use her twin telepathy on this one, she just could tell how Ram acted around Miss Neptune's daughter. Peashy was her friend too, but it always seemed like she was something of a third wheel… she didn't mind really. But she could almost sense some of Ram's apprehension stemming from…
"Rom I-" Ram began before the twins heard a loud knock at the door,
"Raaaam! I'm heeerreee!" A loud voice boomed as the very same bright blonde burst into the room, looking at the scene as…
"..." Ram stared blankly. Then down at herself, or… more accurately hee state of dress… "YOU IDIOT IM STILL GETTING DRESSED!" She screeched, slamming the door in Peashy's face turning around in a huff to put her dress on before realizing…
"Ram…." Rom sighed with a shake of her head
"AHHHHH!" Ram realized as she dove into her bed, burying her face in her pillow, screaming as she realized she just slammed the face of the girl wanted to confess to in the door, "stupid stupid stupid!"
"Ram!" Rom yelled out before sighing, "c'mon. You're acting silly. Just be yourself, ok?" Rom eventually calmly explained as Ram took a few deep breaths, soon picking the elegant pink dress she had settled on, opening the door to her room, as she saw the blonde sitting outside perk up,
"Ram you-" She began before looking her over, "you look really pretty today!" She brightly smiled unknowing the effect this would have as Ram's face began to burn,
"T-that's because I put effort into my elegant look!" She explained before adding under her breath, "you would look much more beautiful if you put some effort into your look" She mumbled,
"Hmm… what was that?~" Peashy innocently asked, leaning forward slightly, Ram's face burned even more as Peashy's body position showed off her more than ample assets. Looking down at herself, it's not as though puberty had skipped her or anything, and she was definitely bigger than Uni, much to the chagrin of the candidate of Lastation, Peashy on the other hand. She supposed she should have anticipated this much considering what yellow heart looked like…
But she never thought she would feel this way about her…
"Hmmm what's wrong, Ram?" Peashy innocently asked, as Ram slapped her cheeks.
"It's nothing! Let's just go dummy!" Ram huffed as she began walking, Peashy giggling as they soon departed, walking the streets of Lowee, a specific destination in mind…
"I can't believe you got us tickets to Nintendland Wonder! You're so awesome, Ram!" Peashy complimented, as Ram felt a bit of pride surge,
"Of course I am! I am the goddess candidate!" She boasted, starting to feel more and more comfortabl-
"Yoooo! Ram!" Ram heard a familiar voice call out, turning to her side, she saw brown hair, with a beret neatly sitting atop her head,
"Oh hey! C-sha!" Ram smiled, waving to the Gold Third, another familiar face. Ram smiled, she could do this she coul-
"Who's this? Your girlfriend?" C-sha innocently asked, as Ram froze, the words accumulating in her mind as…
"Ah! W-w-what are you t-t-talking about!?" She exclaimed in bafflement,
"Of course! Shes a girl. And shes the bestest friend to be around!" Peashy brightly responded, as Ram fainted at the words, "Ram?" She asked, before tilting her head, looking to the adventuress, she shrugged, "Anyway, sorry miss, we gotta go to Nintendland!" Peashy smiled, waving as she dragged Ram off
Leaving C-sha behind in somewhat bafflement. "Oh. She is gonna be a treat to tease" She chuckled to herself, continuing her path towards Lowee's basilicom. She had another brunette to mess with today~
By the time Ram came too, she could tell, her and Peashy were waiting in the line to the amusement park…
Just how long had Peashy been dragging her along…
How many people had seen them…
Ram wasn't sure she could feel anymore embarrassed. Gulping. She steeled her resolve. She hadn't gone through all this to not get what she had sought out to accomplish in the first place!
She just needed to get Peashy on the ferris wheel…
As the hours passed. Ram actually felt herself more and more calmed. As she simply let herself enjoy her day out with Peashy. Enjoying the multitude of rides the park offered. And now that she was actually tall enough to ride all of them. She was thoroughly enjoying herself.
But still…
From the corner of her vision she could see the circular ride staring back at her. Taunting. Haunting her.
She knew what she had to do…
"Peashy…" Ram Bevan as she caught her breath,
"Hmm… what is it?" Peashy asked, as Ram felt her jaw dropping. The way the sun reflected over her, her bright smile, her beautiful face. Ram felt her heartbeat in her throat.
"You… wanna… go on the ferris wheel?" She softly asked as Peashy contemplated it,
"Hmmm sure!" She smiled, as the two made their way to the ride, boarding the giant metal wheel, as it began to rotate, and as it approached the top. Ram could feel her heart beating out of her chest. Playing back every pep talk that Rom had given her. Steeling every nerve in her body, Ram shoved her hand in her purse,
"Peashy!" She loudly declared as she presented the heart shaped box of chocolates bowing her head, "take these!"
For a moment there was silence. Untill…
"Ram…" Peashy began. "Chocolate! Yummy! Thank you!" Peashy smiled, as Ram stared on dumbfounded, feeling herself reaching a critical level of embarrassment, tears welling in her eyes.
"IDIOT! I HATE YOU" She screamed throwing the box of chocolates at the blonde, soon transforming into pink sister as she sped off away from the scene as fast she could.
"Ram?" Peashy could only ask, looking down at the dropped chocolate as something started to occur to her. Narrowing her eyes, she vaguely remembered a time from her childhood in the Ultra Dimension… Noire… had given Ploot something like this. Now… what happened after that…
Speeding along, Ram couldn't stop the tears from flooding her face. She didn't even know why she was crying. Had… Peashy rejected her?
Ram couldn't handle the embarrassment…
"Ram!" The pink haired candidate gasped,
"You! You! You idiot!" Pink Sister yelled gripping her hands to her side as Yellow Heart glanced to the side,
"Ram… what… did you mean by that?" Yellow Heart asked, her voice as gentle as Ram had ever heard it. She just couldn't take it anymore…
"I…" gritting her teeth she yelled into the open sky, "I LOVE YOU YOU IDIOT!" The words echoed throughout the Loweean sky as the only accompanying noises were Pink Sister's gentle sobs, desperately wiping her tears away, "I know someone like you doesn't feel the same you're just nice and-"
Suddenly, even though she couldn't see through her tears, she felt something sweet enter her mouth as a softness locked around her lips. Opening her eyes, she could see Yellow Hearts closed eyes right against her own, slowly, the goddess backed away, a trail of saliva and chocolate strung between them,
"Hehe. Sweet. And not just the chocolate" Yellow Heart giggled. She remembered… that's exactly what Ploot had done back then.
But even then…
Peashy's heart was beating so fast.
Is this what Ploot meant when Peashy had asked her what she had done… that love thing she said?
"Peashy…"
"I'm sorry I'm not the smartest girl sometimes… but Ram. I love you too!" She yelled back, bright smile complementing her dusted red cheeks.
Cute, ain't it? And btw, if I didn't make it obvious enough, this is a future AU so theyre both of age, dw. Anyway, onto the reviews.
