Neptune woke up early that morning. The sun was shining brightly through the partially closed curtains and the sounds of birds chirping could be heard. Neptune’s plan to address her people in Planeptune had been put on hold, when she found out that Purple Sister had gone missing.
“I have no doubt Nepgear will get here today.” Neptune thought, as she sat up in bed and stretched her hands high over her head.
Neptune pulled the covers away from her body and swung her feet over the side of the bed. After slipping her shoes on, Neptune headed into the main part of the apartment. Like always, Blanc was awake and was busily preparing everyone’s breakfasts.
“Good morning!” Neptune said.
“Good morning Neptune. How’d you sleep?” Blanc asked, not looking up from the food she was preparing.
“Great! How’d you sleep? Rom and Ram keep you up all night?” Neptune asked.
Blanc shook her head. “No. They were pretty tired yesterday. They went to sleep without much fuss. Though I did have to carry Ram into the bedroom.”
“Aww! Ram and Rom are cute. They’re especially adorable when they’re unconscious.” Said Neptune.
Blanc giggled a bit. “I think they’re adorable no matter what.”
“Of course, of course.” Said Neptune. “I know how you feel though Blanc. I think Nepgear’s adorable no matter what too! She’s also really brainy! I can’t wait for you to meet her.”
Blanc was about to stir some of the miso soup she was heating up, but hesitated for a moment. “I think I’ve already met your sister. Haven’t I?” Blanc asked.
Neptune nodded. “Yeah. You have.” Said Neptune, a mischievous smile appeared on her face. “And you said she was the greatest little sister ever! You were constantly trying to get her to move to Lowee.”
“Really?” Blanc said, doubtfully. “Maybe I’ll try again. I’m sure I can get Nepgear to move to Lowee and start doing some work at my Basilicom.”
Neptune giggled. “Wait… You remember who you are?” Neptune asked.
“Yes and no.” Blanc said. “It’s strange. I know who I am, but my brain keeps rejecting the idea.”
“I see… Must be rough.” Neptune said.
Blanc shrugged her shoulders. “It’s not fun, but I can live with it for now.”
Neptune was about to say something else, when she felt a strange feeling in her chest. “Hey!” Neptune said, a large smile appeared on her face. Neptune didn’t hesitate as she ran to the front door and flung it open.
“Hi Neptune.” Noire said.
“Hello miss Neptune.” Uni said, folding her hands together in front of her.
“Noire! Uni!” Neptune cried, as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Neptune leapt at Noire and threw her arms around her friend’s neck.
“H-Hey! What are you doing?!” Noire cried.
“I’m sorry Noire! When I saw you I just wanted to give you a squeeze!” Neptune said, as she started crying.
“Well… It’s not like I missed you or anything.” Noire said, blushing and folding her arms in front of her chest.
“Tsundere.” Neptune said.
“Yeah. Whatever! Get off me!” Noire said, gently pushing Neptune away.
Noire and Uni entered the hotel room and glanced around. “Where’s Nepgear?” Uni asked, after a few moments of looking.
“Well we got separated.” Neptune said. “But it’s okay. She’ll be here soon enough.”
“Really? That’s good.” Said Uni.
“Hello girls!” Came a voice.
All eyes turned to the owner of the voice. Standing a few feet behind Noire was Vert. “Hello Vert. It’s been a while.” Said Noire.
“Yes it has. I’m so sorry I forgot about all of you.” Said Vert, as she entered the hotel. Vert’s eyes turned to Blanc. “Hello Blanc. It’s been a while.”
“I’ll have to take your word for it. I don’t have all my memories back yet.” Blanc said, turning back to the stove. “I’ll have to make more food now.”
“Don’t worry about that.” Noire said, waving her hand dismissively. “Uni and I already had breakfast.”
“I ate too.” Said Vert.
“And I’m starving! When’s breakfast again?” Neptune asked, pouting.
Blanc sighed deeply. “Quiet Neptune.”
Neptune giggled. She was about to close the hotel door, when she felt that strange feeling again. This time Neptune knew exactly who had arrived.
“WAIT!” Nepgear cried, from down the hallway.
Moments later Nepgear appeared in front of Neptune. Both sisters locked eyes and for a moment they didn’t say anything. Suddenly Nepgear leapt at Neptune and threw her arms around her sister.
“NEPTUNE!” Nepgear cried, as tears trickled down her cheeks.
“Oh Nepgear!” Neptune cried, as tears flowed down her cheeks as well.
Both sisters embraced one another and held each other close. More and more tears drained down their cheeks. “I missed you Neptune! I was so lonely without you!” Nepgear sobbed.
“I-I missed you too Nepgear!” Neptune cried.
Cyberconnect2 poked her head into the hotel room. “Hello. I’m Cyberconnect2. Is it okay if I come in?”
“Of course.” Blanc said. “Just ignore the blubbering sisters.”
Cyberconnect2 smiled warmly as she entered the hotel room and closed the door behind her. Everyone in the room watched as Neptune and Nepgear continued to hug and sob. When the girls finally settled down, they sat down at a large table while Blanc served breakfast.
Rom and Ram entered the room. “Hi everyone!” Ram said, while Rom hid behind her sisters back.
“Oh my!” Vert cried, jumping to her feet. “You two are darling! How would you like to be my little sisters?” Vert asked, folding her hands together.
“Vert? Back off.” Blanc warned, but Vert didn’t hear her.
“You two are so adorable! I could just eat you up!” Vert said, holding out her arms to the girls as though she were about to embrace them.
“Anyways…” Nepgear said, fidgeting nervously in her seat. “It’s nice to see everyone again. Uni? How have you been?”
“Great.” Uni said. “Now that I remember everything. It’s weird though. I wasn’t surprised that I was Black Sister.”
“Same here.” Nepgear admitted.
“Well we’ve been goddesses for a while. Shouldn’t really surprise us.” Noire said.
“True.” Said Vert.
“Now that were altogether. We should probably go over everything that’s happened to us thus far.” Said Noire.
“Man… I was hoping Noire would forget that she was a businessy stiffy.” Neptune grumbled.
“No chance Neptune.” Noire said. “Anyways. I’ve kept in contact with everyone we met in Lastation. They’re all working hard on getting stronger and they’re planning on fighting with us if we need their help.”
“My memories tell me that everyone we met in Planeptune are doing the same thing.” Nepgear said. “Purple Sister worked really hard with everyone too.”
“No surprises there. She’s a good kid.” Neptune said. Neptune’s words caused Nepgear to blush.
“Same here.” Said Vert, holding up her right hand. “I worked with everyone as well.”
“That’s good.” Said Blanc, who took a seat between her sisters. “So Nepgear? If it’s not too much trouble, could you tell us what happened to you?”
“Of course.” Nepgear said, clearing her throat. “Well…”
Nepgear explained everything that happened to her. She told everyone how she had broken her arm. How Cyberconnect2 had saved her and traveled with her to the first Fairy Tower. “And that’s what happened.” Nepgear explained.
“Whoa! White Heart must be tough!” Ram said.
“Seriously tough. I even have my defense maxed out. I couldn’t believe she could still break my arm.” Nepgear said.
“Unacceptable!” Neptune cried, angrily. “Breaking my Nepgear’s cute little arm! I won’t forgive her!”
Blanc took a deep breath. “Nepgear. Even though I’m not currently White Heart. Please accept my apologies.” Blanc said, bowing a little.
“Sis! It’s not your fault! It’s the other dummies fault!” Said Ram.
“That’s right.” Rom said.
“She’s right.” Nepgear said, holding up her hands. “White Heart is missing her human side. That’s you Blanc. Same goes for the White Sisters as well. They need to have their human forms returned.”
“Yeah I don’t think so.” Ram said, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “I’m no goddess.”
“Yeah.” Said Rom, nodding.
Blanc looked at her sisters. “They can’t accept it simply because were still missing our memories.”
“Don’t worry. We should be able to finish this quest fast since we can all fly.” Said Neptune. “Well… Everyone except for Cyberconnect2, Blanc, Rom and Ram I mean.”
“Yeah. Sorry.” Cyberconnect2 said.
“That’s alright.” Blanc said. “I was giving it some thought. It might be best if Rom and Ram and I stay behind. We’ll only end up slowing the rest of you down. Once the final two Fairy Tower’s are activated, we’ll regain ourselves and meet up with you.”
“Sounds good to me.” Said Neptune.
“Oh!” Vert said, suddenly remembering something. Vert reached into her pocket and removed a USB memory stick from it. “Histoire actually gave me a USB memory stick as well.” Vert had a look of sadness appear on her face. “However… Neptune? I’m not comfortable using it without your-”
“YAHOO!” Neptune said, throwing her arms into the air.
“Yes! This is excellent!” Nepgear said, giggling.
“Huh?” Vert said, surprised. “You two aren’t upset that you won’t be able to personally activate all the Fairy Tower’s yourselves?”
“Huh? Heck no!” Neptune said, giggling. “I want to get this quest over with! I want to go home, sit in my Basilicom and eat pudding until I explode!”
“Same here.” Nepgear said. “Well not exactly the same thing, but I’m eager to go back home as well.”
“Oh.” Vert said, smiling warmly at the girls. “I understand.”
“I have an idea.” Said Blanc. “Vert? You and a few other goddesses should activate the Fairy Tower that we know about. After that, Histoire will send the information to Nepgear and she and Neptune can activate the final Fairy Tower. How does that sound?” Blanc offered.
“I don’t have a problem with that.” Said Vert, happily.
“Huh? Don’t you want to activate a Fairy Tower Noire?” Neptune asked.
“Don’t push your work off onto me Neptune. Do it yourself.” Noire said.
Neptune sighed deeply. “Fine! I’ll be the hero and activate the final Fairy Tower.” Neptune grumbled. “Anyways. Nepgear? I love you!”
“Huh?” Nepgear said, taken by surprise. “I love you too Neptune.”
Neptune suddenly jumped to her feet. “Alright everyone! Before we go, we need to make a video for everyone in our countries. After that, we’ll activate the final Fairy Towers. Okay?”
“Sounds good to me.” Said Noire. “But you should leave the video to a professional.”
“I am.” Neptune said, as she took out Nepgear‘s N-Gear and handed the device over to her sister. “Nepgear? Do you mind.”
“Nope!” Said Nepgear, taking the N-Gear.
“Hey!” Noire said, but everyone ignored her.
***
After the girls made the video, Nepgear spliced everything together so it looked good. The video the girls made was simple. Neptune and Nepgear appeared on screen first, explained everything that was happening and then left. After that Noire and Uni entered the scene, Vert and finally Blanc, Rom and Ram. After that the girls sent the video to everyone they knew.
“There. I know our friends will upload the video to the internet and make it trend in all our countries.” Said Nepgear.
“Yeah. I’m going to be famous!” Neptune said, blushing heavily.
“You’re already famous, doofus!” Ram said. “You’re a goddess!”
“Oh yeah! I almost forgot.” Neptune said, matter-of-factly.
Nepgear sighed deeply. “Goodness sister. I’m starting to think whoever sealed away your memories was just wasting their time.”
“Alright. I think it’s time we got going.” Vert said. “Who’s coming with me?”
“I will.” Said Noire.
“Me too!” Said Uni.
Noire shook her head. “That’s alright Uni. I want you to stay here.”
“Huh?” Uni said, surprised. “But big sis. I can-”
“You can help. I know.” Noire said, patting Uni on the head. “But I want you to spend some time with Nepgear and go with her. Okay? You two have a lot to catch up on, right?”
“That’s true.” Uni said, giggling and blushing.
Nepgear giggled as well, before her eyes turned to Cyberconnect2. “Sorry Cyberconnect2. Were not trying to leave you out or anything.”
“Oh please. I don’t feel left out at all.” Cyberconnect2 said, as she summoned her daggers. “Besides! I’m going to fight alongside all of you at the end of this! Right?”
“Right!” Nepgear said.
“Alright then. We better get going Noire.” Vert said, as she and Noire transformed into their goddess forms. “We’ll be right back.” Said Green Heart.
“Take care everyone.” Said Black Heart.
“See you!” Neptune said, waving happily as the goddess left the hotel.
“Well. Now it’s just a matter of time.” Said Nepgear, looking down at the screen of her N-Gear. “Were almost done with this quest.”
