Chapter 1: Losing Nepgear.

Neptune sat by her little sister's bedside as the only sound in the room was her little sister's breathing. The temperature in the room was a gentle warm sensation to the skin. Neptune had made it that way by using her powers to do such.

Neptune watched with worry all over her face as her sister's breathing was erratic.

"Nepgear..."

Neptune whispered the name of her little sister gently. She did not want to make the situation any worse then it already was. Somehow, and Neptune had no idea how, but somehow Nepgear was steadily losing share energy. Which meant that if she did not do anything... She would become...Well... She would disappear.

Neptune felt her whole world spin as she tried to calm down. Her eyes were strained with tears that had stung from earlier crying. She was desperately trying to stay cool and calm. Just the way Nepgear loved her. But her heart was breaking. Slowly, but it was breaking. Neptune shook her head slowly to try and get rid of the tears but it wasn't working. Nothing was.

Nepgear managed to open her eyes and look at Neptune. Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing was no less erratic.

"Onee...chan?"

Neptune was instantly looking at Nepgear in a flash. "I'm here Nepgear." She placed her warm hand on Nepgear's and almost immediately she could tell there was an issue – Nepgear was cold. Extremely cold. How this was possible was beyond her. Neptune had specifically made the room a toasty 21 degrees Celsius but Nepgear felt... Like she was losing everything, temperature, sensation, sight, hearing... This wasn't good.

Not in the slightest.

Neptune fought back the fresh sense of tears as Nepgear tried to get up. "Nepgear, don't try to g-get up. You're very... Sleepy. That's it. Sleepy."

Nepgear looked at her sister up and down, something about Nepgear's gaze had Neptune almost frozen to the spot. It was almost as though Nepgear KNEW that Neptune was trying to keep the truth from her.

"I'm not sleepy. I've just got a cold Onee-chan. I'll get better, ne?"

Neptune cleared her throat that she had a tight sensation in that she didn't realise. "That's right... A cold."

In Nepgear's eyes – Neptune could see that Nepgear's CPU glowing inner pupils were slowly going dimmer and dimmer as Nepgear leaned back onto the bed again.

"I'm sorry Neptune."

Neptune blinked in confusion. "Eh? I'm the one who should be sorry!" She shook her head. "You've done NOTHING wrong Nepgear! Nothing at all! I'm the one who should be worrying about you! There's nothing wrong with-"

"Neptune?"

Neptune stopped when she noticed that her sister was no longer looking at her but to the ceiling. "Yeah?" She gave Nepgear's hand a reassuring squeeze, just in case she could still feel her touch.

"What does Celestia look like?"

Neptune was at a loss for words, but as she saw Nepgear's eyes start to close she started to panic. "Ummm, yeah, Celestia, yes. I...Errr... You got me there. I seem to remember its the most beautiful place. Remember? I took you there awhile ago? Just you and me. We walked for hours! The trees were Emerald green and the waters were Sapphire in colour. Everything is perfect in Celestia. Everything and I mean everything."

Nepgear giggled weakly. "And, and, remember when we poured pudding onto Histoire that time?"

Neptune smiled even though she was now SURE that Nepgear was not going to be with her for much longer. "I remember. She woke up the next morning covered in it. I had to run for cover."

Nepgear giggled. "Yeah...Say Neptune?"

Neptune nodded. "Yes Nepgear?"

"I love you."

Neptune felt floods of tears reach her eyes as she leaned closer to Nepgear. "I feel the same way Nepgear. I love you too."

Nepgear closed her eyes and within a matter of what seemed like minutes to Neptune, when in reality it was seconds, Nepgear disappeared from the world of Gamindustri.

The second that Nepgear disappeared Neptune broke down into even more tears. She couldn't help it. She was a Goddess, sure. And her nation came before ANYTHING else, sure. But this was her SISTER. The light in the darkness during all the times she had been through...

Gone.

And her nation wasn't far behind.
