Author Note : no, this is not that 'the proposal', a great fanfic that came a long time ago.

this time I tried not to get help from the usual beta tester (KuroGems 1208), but for the next chapter I will need them again.because the next one is will be (kind of) a big one.

you could say this is RAW (in gordon ramsay's voice). but yeah I intended to atleast do this one myself, since this chapter is mostly filler (but still highly recommended read)

anyway, thank you and stay safe.

Hyperdimension Planeptune.

"AHHHH !!! THIS IS THE WORSTTT !!" Screamed Uzume. "UMIOOO UMIOOO, HISTY IS A BULLY!" she called for Umio but he's nowhere to be found.

"Uzume, please calm down. you need to be more patient" Histoire trying to calm Uzume, who suffers from being endlessly working on paperwork.

"My my.. Blanny, do you think this method of raising Share energy is little bit slow ?" Vert asking Blanc opinion who is beside her right now. they both have been awhile there, watching Uzume cries in agony by the door.

"Don't call me that in front of someone again, or I'll smash you !" Blanc infuriated. but quickly gain her usual composure, since there's nobody hears them. "but you're right, they are not going anywhere without a plan, at least we have one."

"ohh my, you want to 'smash' me ? I can't wait for that..~" Vert tease.

"shut up, Ver Ver, now is not the time"

"ah you're right, let's us check on Iffy and Adult Neptune how are they doing" both Blanc and Vert going to medbay. they remember picking up big Neptune and IF out of the forest that day, tattered and exhausted. Histoire called them over because both Nepgear and Uzume is occupied. "yesterday, they mention about how they are the one at fault, no ? I still don't know how to respond, especially they said they have to travel back in time.."

"you said that like that's the wierdest thing ever happen to us" Blanc intrupts.

"oh my, you right.. certainly the wierdest thing is you desire a bigger chest and show it off to your little sisters..."

"FREAKING HELL, VERT ! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ?" Blanc give Vert her glowing red eye of death.

"ah.. my bad, sorry Blanny but your cuteness is irresistable, even when you wanted to kill me" Vert tease again. "my my, my heart feels like floating.. perhaps this is what Neptune feels when she tease Noire" Vert give Blanc a smile.

"Grrrrrr, why you.. " Blanc calmed down after hearing that Vert was just playing around, she even blushed a little. "just, try not to tease me in front of someone next time Ver Ver, I am not Noire."

"I'll try my best Blanny" and they arrived at the front of the infarmary where big Neptune and IF treated.

"hello ~" Blanc knock the door.

"come in" IF reply.

"excuse us" Vert and Blanc make their way in, and sit in the avalaible guest chair. "have you two feeling any better ?"

"no, not in the slightest" IF replied while Neptune just staring blankly at the floor. "I still can't believe it turns out like this, I can't think straight. nor big Nep there"

"no one could've known about it" Blanc respond, "besides, it's still happened regardless what our action is."

"but how can we be sure that both Neptune and Noire is still alive after tanking that much of that power ?" Vert somehow skeptical. "... it consumed 90 % of this Nation share, whatever that power is, is a force to be reckoned with."

"have a faith Vert ! Neptune is a regular in this 'get thrown to another Dimension' bussiness, she'll live and crawl her way out while dragging Noire in behind her butt !" Blanc surprisingly Optimistic.

"thank you Blanc, I'm glad that you think optimistic !" suddenly Histoire appear behind Blanc. making Blanc jumped. "I am sorry for the sudden entrance, IF, Neptune are you feeling well ?"

"my body state ? I'm feeling well. my mental state ? no." IF reply. she still shocked and felt guilty about the event two days ago. and she knew that Neptune adult counterpart feel the same. "somehow I feel powerless"

"you surprisingly quiet." Blanc talking to big Neptune who has been staring blankly against the floor. there isn't a single word coming from her mouth.

"could you two walk to the meeting room ? if you can that is" Histoire ask both Neptune and IF. " we need to discuss this matter at hand, we still don't know happen after they were sent to another Dimension, and we might have a plan"

"alright, I was getting bored anyway, let's go Nep" IF come to big Neptune and help her get on her feet. "if you can't walk, I'll carry you" IF offers but Neptune just give her a 'do not worry' expression.

meanwhile.

Uzume has been tasked to call Nepgear in her room to come to the meeting after she finished with the paperwork earlier, she can't bear dealing with paper anymore.

Uzume open up the door and see Nepgear still working on her device and some other ways to find and contact her lost sister. she come in without a word.

"here's an energy drink Nepgear.." Uni stand by her side and give her a can of drink.

"Uni, I don't think I need anymore of that" Nepgear has been working in her room for who knows how long, and Uni is still there for her. "wait.. Uni ? did you really here the whole time, that means you are the one who spoonfed me from the start ?" Nepgear just realized it.

"huh, you just Noticed that... so typical of you.." Uni reply. "ofcourse I'm... Nepgear I've been watching over you since you've been working on this"

"wow Uni, you really taught so much about me didn't you ?" Nepgear give Uni a genuine smile. she's really tired, but realizing Uni is beside her is enough to wipe her fatigue away.

"of course I am, duh ~ I'll be with you whatever happens, and I am sure you'd do the same." Uni gives reassuring warm smile.

'kyaaaaa !! ~ no no, this is super cute but get a hold of yourself Uzume ! don't do anything Stup -' suddenly the daydreaming Uzume bump into something, a toolbox lying on the floor. which catches the attention of both of CPU canditates.

"huh ? oh - Uzume, since when did you -?" Nepgear notices Uzume.

"nah ~ I just arrived, there's no way I saw you both lovey dovey with each other." Uzume trying to hold her laughter as she say it. "c'mon Histy and the others are waiting for us"

"well if you say so, let's go Uni" Nepgear stand up from her chair but her legs is acting up, her legs frails, but before she about to fall Uni catch her.

"Nepgear ! I don't think you need to go, you need to rest" Uni take a close look on Nepgear's face and notices eye bags. "nevermind, you need to sleep"

"but Uni.. "Nepgear stand up, put her right hand to Uni's head and make a direct eye contact. "don't worry, I am fine. and you should check yourself too, ah how about we sleep on my bed this Night ? it might help me sleep without worrying about my sister"

Uni cheeks burn red, but she didn't hate the Idea. "Nepgear.." she look shyly towards Nepgear who still look directly to her eyes.

"Uni.. you are so pretty.."

"Nepgear.. hmmmph.." Uni squirmed as she feeling super nervous.

they both keep staring at each other for quite some time, giving Uzume awkward tension.

at that moment Uzume slowly walking back towards the door, she can't handle their love tension in the air.

"I'll just... let myself gone" say Uzume while letting herself out, after a while the red haired girl can hear the others already discussing something at the meeting room, and head there.

"Uzume, where's Nepgear and Uni ?" the Planeptune Oracle asks.

"they -- " before Uzume can properly answer, she greeted by both Nepgear and Uni.

"Uzume ? so this is what you meant" a pause "Sorry for taking too long, Uni and I was.. "

"don't tell them about what we just do !" Uni hide her face in embarassment.

"hehe, sorry"

"my, how lovely.. you two already taking the relationship to the next level I see.." Vert comments, "come now, after this meeting you can tell me what you two were doing.. "

"it's - not like that ! nothing happened really !" both Nepgear and Uni says in unison, clearly make them more suspicious.

"well, ok then, we do it after this problem is solved with then.. " Vert insisted.

"can we get this over with, please ?" IF intrupt "I don't know about you guys, but Neptwo here didn't talk much, it's clear that she have something bothering her"

"hey you, what's the matter ?" Blanc ask big Neptune.

"it's not a big deal, really" big Neptune finally open her mouth.

"oh great, here. I brought a get well gift for you" Blanc hand over a pack of the famous Blanc Manju. "it's good for your stamina and overall health, not to mention it tastes great" a pause "it even comes in 4 different flavour too"

the second after Blanc said that big Neptune stomach grumbles, loud enough to catches the group attentions.

"oops ... hehe" big Neptune snickers, "thanks Blanc, Sorry to worry you, it's been a while since I ate something like this" she take the package from Blanc and thanking her.

"you were hungry the whole time ?! is that why you so quiet ?" IF agitated "why don't you just say so ?"

"that, and my mind were too occupied on where did mini me, Crosty and that cute tsundere go... sorry" big Neptune feel bad. "I tried to ease my mind by teasing IF before, but I don't think it's working anymore..."

"like ?" Blanc ask big Neptune.

"like asking why did she kiss Nepgear in the second game... ?" the older(looking) Neptune straight to the point. "I know it's meta, but that still lingering in my mind"

"oh my.. how unexpected~" Vert surprised but she give a teasing smile.

"oh, that's what you do when we are trapped in that cable thing..." Blanc comments.

"huh ?! oh woh.. Iffy kissed Gearsy !???" Uzume awaken from her sleep. she had been asleep since the meeting started.

"look I - I can explain.. " IF blushing.

"oh ah.. umm.. it's not what it looks like !" Nepgear starting to panic.

"oh. that how it is. right" Uni hiding her jealousy.

"noo Uni, IF just trying to jumpstart my HDD form. it's nothing more than that !"

"yeah, she's right, I don't know but it's effective ! besides it's what the game script says !" IF don't have much choice but to break the 4th wall. "look, it's in the past okay ? now we should focusing on bringing Nep and Noire home"

"and Crosty too" big Neptune said while eating one of the manju. "oh dis-- ish delishus ~ ahh" her mouth is stuffed.

"hey you just pushed me into the corner, don't you atleast want to share it with me ?" IF ask big Neptune for that Manju.

"don't worry, I bring another one for you, here" Blanc hand over her pack of Manju to IF.

"thanks, this is -"

"*cough* *cough* are we done here ?" Histoire suddenly intrupt. "where were we again Vert ?"

"oh right, Blanc and I have a... proposal" Vert show a bunch of papers in her hand "we just thinking about a way to bring both Neptune and Noire home yesterday by thinking about a effecient way to recover the share energy"

"you might already know this, but Neptune and Noire, is transported simultaneously." a pause. "and according to IF and Neptwo, Noire DID jumped to protect Neptune from the blast in that forest, how they ended up there in the first place ? we don't know" Blanc explained.

hearing that big Neptune want to tell something about her secret with her counterpart. but IF grab big Neptune shoulder and shakes her head in refusal. however this isn't go unnoticed by Blanc.

"Noire might found Neptune somewhere slacking off like usual, and they might've gone walking aimlessly around the forest, talking about.. stuffs" a pause "I mean they hasn't seen each other for months, it might be possible they want to reconcile." IF trying to hide why the purple CPU was there to begin with.

"alright let's just go with that, for now" Blanc accepts. "yesterday, Vert have an idea, it might sounds stupid at first, but so much effective than the current progress"

"I am down for anything besides whatever Histy was telling me to do" Uzume commented.

"yes, we both agree to do this to help raise Planeptune Shares effectively" Vert opens her proposal pages "don't worry, Uzume won't have to deal with paperwork for this, you are going to have some fun with others"

"Uzume going to share the Wuf to the world ! not love but Wuf !" Uzume going Valley girly again after hearing that. "Uzume don't think that writing some dumb paper would help Nepsy and her Pretty not-so-honest friend go home fast enough" Uzume pouts cutely.

"*sigh* as much as I hate to admit, it is a slow process, not to mention you are still a novice." Histoire pauses and place her gaze on Nepgear. "and Nepgear still finding a way to contact Neptune, but without proper machine or N-Gear with Neptune on the reciving side, it will be difficult"

"and since that dark tome is going on her own, we need to gain enough share to compensate. Histoire here might be more powerful this time, but it's not without drawbacks and this Nation share is dying. so spamming portal aimlessly is out of question" Blanc pauses. "this is sounds like a stupid plan, but it's better than nothing. actually... this is more of embarassing rather than stupid."

"do not worry dear, we've done this before. it worked so well too" Vert adds in. and put her papers on the roundtable. revealing her whole plan "oh, and don't worry about the administrasion and such, we both have it covered"

all of them gather around Vert and read the front of the papers.

"ohh this one.. ah.. I don't know if I can do this without my Sister..." Nepgear showing a sign of pessimistic.

"huh, I've done this before with big Sis too. but to bring her back, I need to do this even if I am going solo !" Uni's a little optimistic.

"I don't know what kind of thing this is and never done something like this before, but it sounds a lot more instresting than whatever we currectly doing now." Uzume comments. "Nepsy, Iffy. your name is on the paper too."

"I mean I am the one who caused this, so I need to fix this somehow" Neptune reply. "well it's sounds like fun too"

"awww man I am the one who lead it too ?, but this is expected. this was my fault too" IF reply. "but where's Compa's name ?"

"she need to be the one behind the scene, the medical staff" Vert explained.

"5pb. ? who is that ? is that the one whose song that I kept hearing about ? is that even her real name ?" Uzume asks about a certain blue haired girl whose photo is on the one of the papers

"she's a famous singer in the Gamindustri, perhaps the most popular one too" Vert pauses and show another page. that shows what role does 5pb has later. "she's going to be a host later, she has arranged some of her schedule so it should be fine. and no, that's not her real name."

"she sounds so cool already !" Uzume smiles, "but isn't this schedule is.. too tight.. ?"

"yeah, how can we pull this off ?" IF ask the same question.

"that's why we began our practice and preparation in afternoon today~" Vert meet her gaze with Blanc. "after this, you all need to make a Unit or team, make sure you think about it wisely."

"we can't afford to waste more time, Gamindustri lost 2 nation leader" a pause. "we both will act as managers, so do your best everyone !" Blanc cheer the group

not long after that, the groups spread out to rest and think about their next move.

IF and big Neptune is sitting in a chair in the top of Planeptune tower, they still gathering their thoughts. while eating Blanc Manjus they got from Blanc

"ahh.. I don't think I can do it well.." IF shakes her head, still can't accept her best friend is sent to another world because of her action. but she have strong desire of responsibility. "we just need to do this Nep, just let me go solo, and you with Uzume."

"ahmm.. fihnee wi- *munch* *munch* it.. " (translate : I am fine with it). big Nep still processing her Manju.

"can't you just wait until the food is finished ?"

"I shaanctt.. dhisss ish *munch* too guedd" (translate : I can't stop this is too good) big Nep can't stop.

"you almost disgust me as much of Regular Nep, but - oh hey Blanc ?" IF notices Blanc walking towards them.

"IF, NepTwo. are you to feeling better ?" Blanc ask them how they feel. "and Neptwo, you need to swallow it before you talk, or else you are going to get choked"

big Nep finished up her food and talk. "Sorry Iffy.. and Blanny, I feel better now that I ate someting..."

"I am still shaken, but don't worry we'll be fine by the time we began training."

"good, now... have you met Neptune training or something before ?" Blanc pauses. "like when you are a kid ?"

Blanc hit the nail, both big Neptune and IF exchanging glances at each other and feel have no chance but to talk about it to Blanc. "how did you figure it out ?"

"that was a trick question, but I am glad I was right then." Blanc let out a faint pride smile. "why did you hide it from us ?"

"I.. uh.. no idea" big Neptune start eating another of her Manju.

"we both agreed to hide it from everyone else because Nep might don't want anyone else to know about her hidden routine, since all we know that she's a 'lazy' person, but I don't really know what is her reason to do it unnoticed. so I figured that it might be best to hide it for now." said IF while she make quote on quote hand gesture.

"my lips are sealed..." Blanc give them both a 'peace' hand gesture. "I see.. that's where her skill came from, I barely surprised. after all she can defeat the other goddesses with ease, she even can take two of us at the same time. as much I hate to admit."

"yeah, I've met her the first time when she is training. during my childhood, I doubt she remembers it though." the taller girl still enjoying her manju.

"well, we will know better if we ask her ourself, we put that aside for now, have you two decided your units ?"

"I've decided to fly solo, while Neptwo here team up with Uzume" IF pat big Nep shoulder

"alright, maybe that works best -" Nep stops and realize she has been called Neptwo several times.

"hey ! since when did my name is 'Neptwo' ?"

Nepgear and Uni come back to Nepgear's room, but something is wrong, Uni suddemly seems so distant.

"Uni, since no one else avaible, why don't we make our own unit ?" Nepgear offers with her usual warm smiles.

"why bother.." but Uni seems to be not as instrested. "I'm not intrested anyway"

Nepgear frowns, but she still insist to join forces with Uni. "aww. come on Uni, if there's something wrong you can tell me"

"hmm. there's nothing wrong..." Uni distant herself more. she even put herself to the corner of the room, but then she sit on a chair that in the corner of that room.

but Nepgear doesn't give up, she might have an idea of why Uni didn't even want to discuss something with her. she just need to act bold.

"aww Uni, I think I know what makes you feel uncomfortable.." Nepgear close the distance between them and start to lock her eyes to Uni's face. which make Uni nervous.

"I'm fine.. just don't look at me like that.." Uni can't even meet Nepgear's eyes.

"Uni, there's something in your lips, is that a --.. *kiss*"

before Uni can even react, Nepgear quickly lean her head and press her lips against Uni's lips for a couple of seconds.

" (*smooches*) hah... hah.. " Uni is out of breath.

both of the candidates out of their breaths, they just kissed ! Nepgear cheek is getting redder and hotter, while Uni having the same reaction. she try her best to hide it.

"... so this is what it feels like..hehe" Nepgear is on the cloud nine.

"Dumb Nepgear, what did you do !?" Uni didn't hate it but she to embarassed to say it. "agh.. now my heart is racing.."

"hehe.. me too, but I like it..." Nepgear giggles. "that was a 'do not worry' kiss for you Uni..."

"what does that mean ?" Uni stops as she realize that Nepgear get the wrong idea, Uni is not worrying about her sister, but she was jealous of IF stealing Nepgear first kiss. "oh... you mean.. right. ahh I do worry about my sister but I am not that worried... so that's not it"

"huh ? umm.. ahh" Nepgear getting the wrong idea makes her nervous. "then then... what's wrong ??"

"*sigh* if you only kissed me once, then... I am only just as special as IF is to you" Uni give Nepgear a hint.

"but.. oh.. then do you want to.." Nepgear get the gist of that hint. "but you're so much more special to me Uni.. so.. let me kiss you again..."

they pressed their lips together again, but now they both went for an actual kisses. both Uni and Nepgear heart are racing so fast that it could've jump out off their chest.

"hey, you two ! aiiii ahhh should've knocked.." Uzume comes in and quickly let herself out after seeing both candidate kissing in the corner.

both candidate still kissing one another, unfazed even after hearing Uzume come and gone. but after couple of second they pull theirself from one another.

"ah... that was amazing Uni.. hah.." Nepgear panting, she's so happy that she unable to breathe properly.

"haha.. ah.. I can't believe we kissed for that long." Uni heart is still beating fast that she can even hear her own heartbeat, but she don't want it to end, she wanted more. "our kiss is so ameteur... but it still get my mind floating... now I wanted more and more kisses.." Uni is honest with her feeling this time.

"that was our 'let's do our best !' kiss" Nepgear explains.

"but... I..thought.. I excpect..." Uni can't help but a bit dissapointed. she thinks that was an 'I love you' kiss. "hmmph.. forget it."

"hehe, I know you will feel dissapointed somehow.." Nepgear give her closest friend a smile. "but since we haven't properly confessed our feelings, it wasn't really a true love kiss... ahh what am I saying" Nepgear starting to feel embarassed "but, if you want, I can kiss you anytime you want.. after all it's okay if it's you.."

"so why you do that, when.. can I expect a proper.. Lo- lo.. something kiss ?" Uni feel much less dissapointed now, after all she is weak seeing Nepgear warm smile in front of her. "I.. don't think my heart can handle it anymore."

"hehe, until the author can write a proper kiss line" Nepgear said.

"..." which is replied with silence from Uni.

"that, and I don't think these time are a good time to confess about our feeling since our sister is gone to another world, and we don't know where exactly they are too" Nepgear explained. "but... me too Uni, I can't hold my feeling much longer, but I want to see my sister and Noire safe before I can properly confessed to you. and I think I have to wipe your jealousy over IF kiss first, so we can work together without you worrying about who is the most special in my heart. I hope you understand" it turns out Nepgear did understand Uni was jealous of IF.

"*sigh* you're right, this is not a proper time to laze around and getting love..ly.. with each other while our sister might be in danger" Uni stands up and face Nepgear directly to her eyes. "but can I... get a 'motivation' kiss first ?"

"you really like kissing your best friend. huh Uni ?" Nepgear teases with her giggle.

"well it's your fault who made me like this, kissing me suddenly like that.. and making me feel good.."

Nepgear and Uni going for a quick lip kiss.

"I will, don't worry, we can properly talk about or feeling after we bring our sister home safely. and ask for their blessings . okay Uni ?" a pause. "I can.. give you a proper long kiss of love.. and maybe even more ~" Nepgear said in an almost lewd tone. making Uni get the wrong idea.

Uni flustered, she thinking about some lewd stuff, about the things that she could do with Nepgear.

"mo- more.. hahhh ~" Uni.exe is not responding

"Uni ? huh ? did she just suddenly worried about her sister just now ?" Nepgear seemingly worried.

'what I meant is we can feed each other, and maybe sharing an Ice cream trough a kiss, is she doesn't like the Idea ?, no? she must be worried that I just mention about our missing sister' Nepgear thinks.

"what ? oh ! " Uni just came back from her fantasy land. "no, I mean yes, I do worried about big sis."

"but you seemed rather calm these days... unlike me"

"actually, I am relieved that sis ended up with Neptune rathen than someone else..." a pause as she put her hand on her chest. "it might felt wierd that's coming from me, but I feel my sis is far more safe with Neptune."

Nepgear didn't quite catch her friend meant "how so ?"

"well, if she with Vert... Vert will ended up buying and playing Games backlog that exclusive to that World and never come out unless those are finished and Blanc might be the same but with books. and don't make me start on K-Sha." Uni gives Nepgear reassuring smile. "what I meant is, Neptune is might seems not like it, but I think she's a very capable as person and sister. she's the very reason we repel any threats that has come to us..."

"when I think more about it, she is the best of all of us. and I am not seeing it from little sister perspective !" Nepgear smiles.

"the thing is, I am glad Noire is with Neptune right now, they might not in a good terms with each other for now, but they never really hate each other and it might be a good time to reconcile for them" Uni catches her breath. "so I think they will be fine, they always got each others back...

"yeah like us ! right Uni ?"

"yeah.. like us.. but we still need to Contact them to really know if they fine or not.. I mean the other 'world's are not always a safe place."

"if there's enough shares, I'm sure we can find them much easier." a pause "we need to make a unit like Vert asked us to, Uni ! I can't wait !" Nepgear says eagerly.

"but.. can you ki- kiss.. me again to convince me to join ?" Uni asking while her body is fidgeting.

"hehe, you become so demanding Uni~" Nepgear lean in closer to Uni's face and kiss her in the lips again. "your lips are so sweet Uni... I can't think anything else...~"

"ahh my heart, it's beating so fast and yet I can't get enough..." Uni trying to regain her composure."remember to kiss me properly and longer when the time comes okay ? after we save our sister and have their blessing of course"

"Okay, Promise ! I'll even - 'push you to my bed if it just us.. and -' " Nepgear said something else but Uni mind is filled with lewd imagination till that Nepgear's word has been changed by Uni's mind.

"be together.. with Nepgear.. hmm ~" Uni hums happily while having her mind floating elsewhere.

"- and then, don't worry Neptune, we'll find you a way home !"

and in ther afternoon the group have begin their training for the big event.

and there's that, I know that I said this chap. will be shorter, well it was but I think it's better this way. maybe most of you already know what are they training for.

*

the next chap will have how Croire get to SuperDimension and have Neptune and Noire move from Compa's house to Planeptune tower, but what's going to happen on the way there ?
