Third P.O.V.

Dimension: Hyper

Location: Lastation's Basilicom, Vert's Virtual Reality Device

July 7, 20XX

Time: Afternoon

It's been a week since (Y/N) has helped Uzume with taking out the Virus Empire in the Zero Dimension part of Gamindustri and ever since then. . . things have gotten really quiet as while the Virus Empire's Airship still lingers over the nations, they haven't made an attack yet that poses a threat to the CPUs. Due to the fact that (Y/N) helped all of the goddesses across Gamindustri take out all of the elite soldiers meant that they had to have suffered a major setback. The CPUs finally got some time to get some actual work done across their nations and even enjoy some relaxation too. However, (Y/N)'s definition of relaxing was different as he was actually at Lastation's Basilicom sparring with Black Heart while borrowing Vert's virtual reality device.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A large crash is heard as a dust cloud rises up from the distance as well. (Y/N) is then seen flying back a distance as he does a backflip before landing on the ground with a competitive face. He gets in a fighting stance as Black Heart suddenly rushes up to him and tries to swing her sword at him, but (Y/N) swung it many times to block her attacks before they both clashed their weapons in a standoff as Black Heart smirks at (Y/N).

Black Heart (Noire): Come on, (Y/N). If you're trying to give yourself a challenge trying to fight me then you better step up your game.

(Y/N): *grunts* You're asking me to impress you, Noire? Alright then.

(Y/N) jumps up in the air as Black Heart takes more swings at him which (Y/N) blocks with the swing of his swords. He then channels some energy into himself and makes his entire body glow (F/C) before rushing to kick Black Heart away in the back. (Y/N) smirks that he was able to get a hit on Black Heart, but she then got a mischievous look on her face.

Black Heart (Noire): That was cheap.

She then quickly turns around to try and use Tornado Sword on (Y/N) who reacts just in time to bend backwards, nearly losing his balance to dodge the skill.

Black Heart (Noire): But I'm cheaper!

Black Heart then kicks (Y/N) into the air which made him let out a small grunt in pain before he decides to channel more energy into his body and he dives down at Black Heart with an overhead sword swing. Black Heart tries to block this, but (Y/N) was able to overpower Black Heart.

(Y/N): Don't get so cocky just cause you caught me off guard. I can manipulate as much Share energy as I want to increase my power and take my win against you.

(Y/N) then uses Golden Burst to send some energy waves towards Black Heart who takes the hit and a smoke cloud emerges from her location. (Y/N) thought that he had the upper hand here as he rushes in to go for a follow-up attack, but not before a boot appears and kicks (Y/N) far back. Black Heart appears to have only slightly fazed from (Y/N)'s skill as she decides to counter with her own.

Black Heart (Noire): Ahahahaha! You really think those little projectiles were going to make me struggle? Let me show you just how exactly you do some real damage. Lacy Dance!

Black Heart proceeds to use her skill on (Y/N) has he blocks a couple of kicks from her before getting overwhelmed by her sword slashes. (Y/N) get's knocked into a tree and Black Heart nearly goes for a another swing before (Y/N) evades by rolling and he skids to the side. He was breathing heavily as Black Heart was faster to fight than he anticipated.

(Y/N): Wow. . . It seems that with those reactors gone, you've gained even more power in your HDD form Noire. . . Honestly, I thought that fighting Vert was merely just bad luck that I lost. . .

Black Heart (Noire): Hmph. If you think you'll get anything out of me from flattery then you must've had a screw loose somewhere in that brain of yours, idiot.

(Y/N) shrugs his shoulders with small smirk.

(Y/N): Worth a shot. However, I still haven't shown any of you except for Vert and Nepgear the ultimate move that I used when I was battling in Leanbox. It took almost all of my power to use.

Black Heart raises an eyebrow from this as she was a little intrigued on what (Y/N) meant by that.

Black Heart (Noire): Ultimate move? You? So far you can barely scratch me in this battle and now you're stating that you're going all out?

(Y/N): Just a little bit of showing off, but. . . Yeah! Take this! Gigabreak!

(Y/N) charges up his (F/C) aura before it quickly becomes larger and golden instead. He then activates his EXE Drive: Gigabreak, and rushes up to Black Heart and sent a flurry of fast punches and kicks from random angles around her which she was trying to endure.

Black Heart (Noire): (*grunts* It appears I kind of underestimated his little burst of power. Not that I'm going to let that wear me down.)

(Y/N) then does a backflip kick which sends Black Heart into the air. He then makes his sword glow golden before coming around everywhere slashing Black Heart from all around her. He finally appears above her and he sends her down with an axe kick before quickly landing on the ground to swap his sword out for his gun. He then charges some Share energy inside of it before it fires a large blast of energy towards Black Heart who was surprised from this as she quickly guards before the blast hits her. Once his move was finished, (Y/N)'s aura dies down and he kneels a little to the ground panting from letting out this much energy at once. He looks through the impact of which his final blast from his gun fires at Black Heart and his eyes widened to see Black Heart still standing, but only with some minor injuries.

Black Heart (Noire): Not bad. You were able to actually inflict some real damage that time. . . and it only took you nearly all of stamina just to do the job.

(Y/N) deadpans at Black Heart patronizing him before she lifts her sword up.

Black Heart (Noire): However, this victory shall belong to me!

Black Heart rushes up at (Y/N) and activates her move Tornado Chain as she goes up to (Y/N) and sends a few sword slashes at him as he barely blocks them with his sword and Black Heart jumps up to then come down at him with downwards kick which only knocks him back a little. (Y/N) smirks at Black Heart thinking that he's still able to withstand her.

(Y/N): What was that you said about victory belonging to you? I think you've got a little bit more to go before you actually take me down.

Black Heart (Noire): *smirks* Oh, really?

Black Heart then snaps her fingers and in an instant, (Y/N) felt a ton more slashes hit him dealing a lot of damage as he get's knocked to the ground giving a small yell of pain too. Before he could get up, he then sees the tip of a sword held at his neck as he sees Black Heart giving him a smug grin.

Black Heart (Noire): You might as well give up now.

Seeing that he clearly can't match Noire anymore, (Y/N) sighs and put his hands up with a forced smile.

(Y/N): Alright. . . you got me. I yield.

Black Heart (Noire): Hmph. I told you that you were no match for me at all.

With Black Heart being the winner here, (Y/N) stood up and walked over to turn off the device as they were back on the balcony where they originally met. (Y/N) wipes some dust off of himself before turning to Black Heart.

(Y/N): Even so, I wanted to get a little practice in and considering that you're pretty competitive, I thought that sparring with you would be perfect.

Black Heart blushes slightly from this before trying to hide it, turning her head to the side.

Black Heart (Noire): Well. . . I suppose I have gotten used to fighting alongside you. . .

She then gives him a serious look.

Black Heart (Noire): Still, don't take it personal you hear?

(Y/N) wonders why Black Heart got assertive all of a sudden before just nodding. Black Heart then changes back to her normal form as Noire and (Y/N) pulls a Nep Bull out of his inventory to chug it down and regain a ton of energy and health from sparring with Noire.

(Y/N): I know its been a week since we've last seen an attack made from the Virus Empire, but even so I'm not going to stop training for when they attack again.

Noire: That should be obvious for a human like you. You barely survived six times in a row and to be honest you couldn't have taken on those generals alone. Plus, you can barely lose to a CPU like me or Vert in a match, so if you have competence then I suggest that you don't be a reckless airhead go into battle without us knowing. *mumbles* You'd even make me worried because of it.

(Y/N) thought he heard Noire say something as he looked back at her to see Noire looking away with her arms crossed before looking back over the balcony. As he did though, the doors to the balcony open up and the two turn to see that it was Uni.

Uni: Noire, I finished cleaning up your office like you asked and. . .

Uni then notices (Y/N) with her which made her surprised to see him.

Uni: (Y-Y/N)? You're here??

(Y/N): *smiles* Yeah. Hi, Uni. I was just sparring a bit with your sister since I wanted to be a little more active today.

Uni looks at (Y/N) for a second before looking down for a second with a small blush on her face.

Uni: Oh, I see. . .

(Y/N) was confused on why Uni felt a little bit insecure once she saw him.

(Y/N): Uni? Is everything okay?

Uni: Y-Yeah! O-Of course I'm fine. (It's just that. . . Its been a while since we've got to talk one on one with each other. . . and its not really easy for hold a conversation with him. . . I do better with Nepgear, but we've hung out together more especially since our sisters interact a lot.) S-So um. . . how did go battling my sister?

(Y/N): If I were to put in a nutshell, then I would say that I definitely need some work on my fighting skills because Noire is pretty strong even though I helped defeat four generals with all of you guys in your nations.

Uni gives a small smile from this as she puts her hands on her hips.

Uni: Well that's something that you should expect from my big sister. She doesn't go easy on anybody, even me.

(Y/N) turns to Noire surprised from this.

(Y/N): Wait, really?

Noire: Why would I go easy on Uni? I'm always going to make sure she'll on top to where I am one day. Plus, she's my sister so there's no reason for me to hold back if we're competing with each other. She's great at assisting me as well don't get me wrong, but that doesn't mean that she still has room for improvement. Just like you, (Y/N).

Uni turns away a little embarrassed from that as Noire doesn't really compliment too much unless she actually does something better than her. (Y/N) sees this embarrassed look on Uni and he knows exactly how she feels. However, he smiles as he walks up to her.

(Y/N): In that case, why don't we both show Noire that we'll both one day be on a winning streak bigger than her?

Uni looks at (Y/N) surprised from that question while Noire raised an eyebrow at what (Y/N) said.

Uni: Huh??

(Y/N): You two do almost everything together and it shows that your sisters. Even some of that competitiveness is in you. We can train together sometimes as well if you want Uni as I can show you some more of my skills that I had when you two were still here overlooking Lastation.

Uni stares at (Y/N) surprised that he actually wants to hang out with her more when he gets the chance and this makes Uni smile at bit before she crosses her arms and her smile turns into a more cocky smirk.

Uni: Well, I guess that I'll just have to beat you all of those times. Even if you want to Noire how dependable you are as a fighter, I'm not going to give you that chance. As long as I'm around, I'm going to make sure that you stay as a backbone and if comes to it, you might just be sitting on the sidelines.

(Y/N) gets the same cocky smirk that Uni had as he accepts her challenge.

(Y/N): We'll see about that. I'm going to get stronger too, so don't expect that I'll be an easy target for you to shoot down.

Uni: Oh, trust me. . . I'll always snipe my rivals down and that includes you too. You'll regret trying to talk down to me!

(Y/N): I look forward to that day!

Both of them stayed silent from their little trash talk with each other before they started laughing a little. After their laughter died down, Uni smiles up at (Y/N).

Uni: I really do respect your humility, (Y/N). . . Let's do our best to make sure that our enemies know that they shouldn't mess with us.

(Y/N): Thanks Uni. Same here.

Uni: Oh and there's some leftover curry ingredients. . . i-in case that you're hungry that is.

(Y/N): You're making just for me. . .? Thanks.

Uni crosses her arms and her tsundere tendencies kick in too.

Uni: I'll at least do that much as to say that we're friends, so don't take it the wrong way, got it?

(Y/N): Yeah, yeah. I get it. . .

Uni smiles from that as she walks back into the Basilicom and during Uni and (Y/N)'s talk, Noire was watching the entire time with an envious glare and she even grumbles a little at seeing (Y/N) talking with Uni instead of her. As her sister walks back into the Basilicom, Noire walks up right beside (Y/N) still keeping her little envious look on her.

Noire: You seem to be getting along well with Uni.

(Y/N) turns to Noire a little confused on why she's bringing that up so suddenly.

(Y/N): Well, why not? She's your younger sister, right. . .? Wait a second. . . Noire, are you jealous?

Noire blushes immensely from that question before glaring at (Y/N).

Noire: N-N-No! Why would I be jealous of something as ridiculous as that?? I'm only asking because I'm Uni's "older" sister, got it?!

(Y/N) raises an eyebrow from that before he shrugs his shoulders with a small smile.

(Y/N): Sure, I guess. . .

Noire: *mumbles* And um. . . at least pay attention to me once in a while...

Despite Noire mumbling that sentence, (Y/N) could barely hear her voice.

(Y/N): You say something, Noire?

Noire: No! And mind your own business, pervert!

(Y/N) rolls his eyes from Noire being so pushy on him.

(Y/N): Okay. Sheesh! And stop calling me that!

Suddenly, a ringtone was heard on (Y/N)'s watch as he holds it up and he answers it to then hear Neptune's voice coming from the communicator.

Neptune (Communicator): Yo, soldier boy. Whatcha up to?

(Y/N): Nothing much really. I'm just hanging out here in Lastation for a little bit while sparring with Noire.

Neptune (Communicator): Ooooh. Noire accepted your invitation to come and see her, so you can level up some more? That's pretty surprising considering that I always see her there with no friends and stuff. . .

Noire heard that from Neptune and she was shocked from her blurting that out before gaining a tick mark on her head.

Noire: Wha. . .?! Why you!! Are you really going to continue with the loner jokes while this idiot is right here in front of me?!

Neptune (Communicator): Oh, lighten up, Grumpy Heart. I'd say its a miracle for a lonely girl like you to have someone like (N/N) give you some time. Might as well add that to your friend list, Noire.

Noire: Shut up! I didn't accept his little invite because I was lonely or anything! I-It would just look bad on me if I didn't have him over for once and knowing you, he'd probably fall under your lazy influence!

Neptune (Communicator): Haha! Yeah, that was a really long tsundere line there, buddy.

(Y/N): (Sometimes I can't tell whether these two act more like friends or rivals. . . Though I think that's more debatable due to Nep always teasing her around. . .) Make your little jokes Nep. . . What's the real reason you wanted to call me anyway?

Neptune (Communicator): Oh, that's right. Sorry, I was focused on wanting to play around with Ms. Lonely Loner that I completely forgot.

Noire: I swear if you say that one more time, I'm going to break that voice of yours through (Y/N)'s watch.

(Y/N) felt a little uneasy from Noire saying that.

(Y/N): P-Please don't. . .! Also, my watch is pretty much indestructible. . . so that'll hurt me and you. . .

Neptune (Communicator): So the thing is (N/N) I wanted to ask you if ya were doing anything later tonight?

(Y/N): Uh. . . not that I know of, why?

Neptune (Communicator): I actually want us to chat a little bit together, y'know? A little R and R talking between two besties? Oh, and I'll even bring some pudding along as well if that's alright with you.

Noire was a little bit surprised from Neptune asking out (Y/N) like that all of a sudden as her eyes widen.

(Y/N): Sure, that'd be fine. Where do you want to meet at?

Neptune (Communicator): I know just the right place. It has a really good view of Planeptune's sky, so I'll send you the location as soon as I can. You better be prepared for what your about to see later (N/N) as it'll be a huge surprise~

(Y/N): *chuckles* If you say so. . .

Noire turns her head away and she grew a blush on her face while crossing her arms. She even let out a rather quiet growl which (Y/N) heard marking him a little bit confused on why Noire did that. He didn't say anything, but Neptune did.

Neptune (Communicator): What's troubling ya, Noire?

Noire: Nothing. You seem to really taking your time to talk with (Y/N) while I'm around. (Y/N), you might as well take your little conversation with Neptune elsewhere if your talking about. . . you know. . .that kind of stuff. . .

Neptune (Communicator): Hmmmm~ Methinks you mean to say that you're jealous that I'm wooing the soldier boy right in front of you~?

Noire: A-As if!!!

(Y/N): (Okay. . . it's obvious at this point that she doesn't want me to leave. . . Noire, you should hide your more stubborn side of these things in a more discreet way. . .)

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

Location: Planeptune, Forest Hilltop

Time: Night

The sun had finished setting and the sky was filled with stars as I was walking towards the location where Neptune wanted to meet at during this time. I looks at my watch and I have appeared to have arrived to see that there was an open area where I was walking through the forest. I walk there and look around to see that it was so far an slight open grassland. All I need to do now was wait for Neptune as I cross my arms and lean against a tree to see how long I would have to wait for her. It only took a couple of minutes before I hear a rather mature voice.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (N/N). . .

I hears Purple Heart's voice as I look up towards where I heard her and she comes flying down towards me while waving. I smile that she arrived as Purple Heart was also carrying a small bag in her hand. Once she lands on the ground, she turns back into her normal form as Neptune.

Neptune: Betcha weren't expectin' me to call you all the way out here, huh?

(Y/N): Given that this clear dungeon is merely a couple of miles away from the city. . . I'd say yes AND no.

Neptune: What? Come on. Its a yes "or" no question. You can't pick both of them, that's cheating. Were you surprised or not?

(Y/N): I can answer with both if I have a reason. . . such as knowing you, you wanted to bring me out somewhere where its most likely unpredictable for me to even think. However, I didn't really expect it to be somewhere away out of the city. That was the most surprising to me.

Neptune: Aw, you're such a spoil sport, (N/N).

I chuckle from that and I shake my head teasing Neptune a little bit.

(Y/N): So what did you need me for that you had to bring me all the way out here for?

Neptune: Oh, no reason? Like I said, I just wanted us to talk with each other as buddies, mano a mano. . . And show you this!

Neptune suddenly takes my hand which alarms me as she jerks me towards the hill that we were running on.

(Y/N): Whoa! Will you slow down Neptune?!

Neptune: Nope! And close your eyes!

(Y/N): Why??

Neptune: Don't ask sensei, just do it!

I groan from that as I close my eyes shut not being able to see anything for the time being like Neptune wanted. I don't know where she is taking me, but if it's something like a horde full of Dogoos then I swear that I'll rough her up like hell. We were running for nearly a minute we stop somewhere and I still had my eyes closed with my entire vision being pitch black.

Neptune: You still have those peepers closed, buddy?

(Y/N): Yeah, thank god that you didn't make me slam into a tree.

Neptune: Nah, I decided that for once, you won't be used for comic relief purposes, (N/N). At least for now. . .

I scoff from that slightly annoyed as I know Neptune as someone who tries to be funny when she wants to even at times when she really shouldn't be.

(Y/N): (Damn you, Nep. . . Damn you. . .)

Neptune: Anyways, ready for the big reveal I planned to show ya?

(Y/N): I guess so. . .

Neptune: Alrighty then. Open those eyes, (N/N).

I open my eyes and once I do, the next thing that I see brings huge astonishment to me as I didn't think of Neptune to be the more scenic type. I was in complete awe as I look out to see all of the city lights of Planeptune lighting up so much that it makes it all looks so pretty. I even see some stars in the sky as well as it all made it even more majestic.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Seeing this all right in front of me was the most beautiful thing that I was ever seeing. I was literally so amazed that it would be hard for just about anybody to look away and not marvel at this.

(Y/N): It's. . . It's so beautiful. . .

Neptune: I know right? I would usually come up here sometimes with Nep Jr., Iffy, and even Compa too in case we wanna clear our heads and get the bad things out of our systems. You know what I mean?

I didn't say anything to answer that as I just look at Neptune still bewildered that she planned something like this just for me. I don't know what the special treatment is all about, but I'm not really complaining as so far. I'm enjoying all of it. She laughs at me being so surprised before walking up ahead of me and she sits down on the grass.

Neptune: Since we're pals too (N/N), I thought I'd allow you to come to my little secret place to just for the two of us to get some fresh air, right? You've been battling the Viral Empoor or whatever for months now and I can't remember the last time Histy didn't send you out to either go on a mission or help Iffy with a quest on the guild.

(Y/N): (Wait. . . she did this because she was worried about me. . .?) Um, I do appreciate this all Nep and I really like that you did this for me, but you didn't really need to. . . I mean I've been feeling fine lately whether I'm fighting or not.

Neptune: Oh, stop it with being so modest about these things, (N/N). At least just be able to take it in without telling that we didn't need to do it. It makes you look like that you don't even need these things from us. . . Unless, that's actually the case.

Neptune said this looking a little sad which makes my eyes widen, thinking that I hurt her feelings.

(Y/N): N-N-No! That's not the case at all Neptune! I really do like the things that you all do for me and-

Neptune then started snickering which made me confused and she then started laughing at me and I suddenly realized what I just fell for as she was trying to guilt trip me just to see my reaction. I glare at her from this as I really thought that I hurt Neptune and she just straight up tricked me.

(Y/N): You little. . .

Neptune: Hahaha! Classic old guilt tripper technique just to see them think that something is your fault.

I roll my eyes from this as her antics are something that does get annoying, but who am I to complain that Neptune acts like a kid all of the time.

Neptune: Jokes aside. . .

Neptune pats the spot on the grass right next to her which prompts me to walk up and take a seat with her as I stare out at the beautiful night city of Planeptune.

(Y/N): This really is a sight to behold. . . I can't believe that I never thought of Planeptune being like this at night from a place like this.

Neptune: I'm able to look at this sight from many angles from the Basilicom and even when I'm just flying around, but this right here is without doubt, my favorite. Thus, I made it a secret spot where I come here to just clear my mind of anything that just junks it up.

I don't really know why she calls it a secret spot considering that she told me that Nepgear, IF, and Compa know as well and now I know too.

(Y/N): Neptune, it's not really a secret if you tell everyone.

Neptune: Maybe not, but you can at least say its MY secret place and I found it first so that means that I technically own it.

I give a small chuckle from that. That's not really how that works Neptune, but I won't really saying anything else to kill her impulsive mind.

Neptune: And now here is the best part~

Neptune reaches into the bag that she brought and she pulls out two small pudding cups that she must've bought before coming here. She hands a cup to me as I stare at it a little bit before taking it and Neptune even offers me a square spoon too.

Neptune: Pudding~ There's nothing better about this than eating pudding outside at night with (N/N).

Neptune opens up her pudding and she immediately starts to take a scoop and stuff it into her mouth while having such a sweet smile of how good the pudding tastes. I look at her for a second before smiling as I decide to open up the cup of pudding that she gave me and I eat some off of my spoon as well. Neptune then notices something as she holds up her pudding right beside mine too.

Neptune: And check that out. We're eating the exact same pudding too. I decided to grab two random cups of pudding, but look at that, we're eating the ones with the same flavor. It's awesome sometimes just how lucky I can be. I bet my luck stat increased by 1 due to me figuring that out.

I ignore Nep's last comment, but the thing that she said first brought back a memory that was showed to me not too long ago by Uranus. It was in that forest where my other self was with her sitting at a pond together. All of what Neptune is doing for me right now. . . reminded me of that little memory and it brought a small blush to my face reminded me of that scene. I embarrassingly smile from that as I nervously chuckle while rubbing the back of my head.

(Y/N): Y-Yeah, I guess we are eating the same pudding.

Neptune: Yep! Doesn't it taste so much better when you're eating it with somebody? I know it does for me. . .

(Y/N): Actually. . . it kind of does taste better eating it with someone else. . .

I say that as I take another scoop of my own pudding and eat it with a smile on my face. I look over to Neptune and I see that she was almost done with hers which surprises me a little bit as while I'm slightly shocked that she was that hungry, I wasn't at the same time as she really does eat pudding for a living. Makes me wonder if she would give up Planeptune for it. . . but who am I kidding? Neptune isn't that kind of girl at all. I literally can't believe that this girl right here who I just wanted to meet is now one of my best friends. . . It's almost embarrassing, but I've really gotten used to living with her in the Basilicom. I look down for a second before looking across Planeptune before getting a blush on my face.

(Y/N): Hey. . . Neptune. . . I wanted to tell you something. . .

Neptune turns to me curious from that.

Neptune: Hmm? What's that?

(Y/N): Th. . . Thank you. . .

Neptune wasn't too sure why I was thanking her so suddenly as she could obviously tell that it was just more than the pudding and the little outing that we're having.

Neptune: Huh? What for? Something besides this?

(Y/N): *nods* Yeah. You see. . . months ago my life was just. . . not even close to how yours is everyday and the day that you and I met. . . you changed all of that. . .

Neptune was surprised to hear this from (Y/N) as she got a blush on her face as well.

(Y/N): I told you in the Basilicom that you inspired me to have a dream of becoming someone who can protect others and. . . you honestly helped with more than just that. I not only fulfilled my dream because of you, but. . . we practically live in the Basilicom together now like we're a family. I really do love hanging out with you, Nepgear, IF, and Compa. . . and although you do get a little bit lazy, I do know that you just want to see people with a smile on their face like me. I even got to meet the other CPUs too and we've become such great friends too. . . That's why I'm saying thank you Nep. . . If it wasn't for you, I don't think-

Suddenly, a finger hushes me to become quiet as it came from none other than Neptune's as she was now over me giving me a cute look with her pupils dilated and it makes my face even more red than it already was.

Neptune: Shhhhh~

Neptune then takes her finger down and smiles cutely up at me before she crawls up my body to the point where our faces were mere inches away from each other.

(Y/N): N-Neptune. . .?

Neptune stares at me with that cute look of hers for a few seconds before she closes her eyes and did something that I was not expecting her to do at all. . . she was kissing me straight on the lips which made my eyes widen in shock. Is this really happening? I better not be dreaming right now as somebody better pinch me if I am. I am literally kissing a goddess right now and its the goddess of the nation of where I'm living in. I stare at Neptune kissing me for a moment before she breaks it and she looks back at me with a really adorable smile while I look at her with astonishment. She gets off of me and she stands up to walk away for a little bit before turning back to me. She then winks at me while sticking her tongue out playfully as it makes her look downright adorable.

Neptune: See ya later. . . handsome.

Neptune then transforms into Purple Heart who takes one last look at me with a smile before she flies away to go back to the Basilicom. I kept watching her fly off into the distance until I completely lost sight of her and all I could think about right now was that kiss that she gave me just a minute ago as it made me smile.

(Y/N): (This small date, that kiss, that sudden name that she just called me. . . Does. . . Does Neptune have a crush on me?)

After what I just witnessed today, I believe that question that I just asked myself is true as Neptune sees me as more than just her friend which surprises me to how she considered that so suddenly. I smile at the sight of the Basilicom in the far distance where Neptune is going to meet me back at before looking up at the starry night sky with a smile too. I then walk ahead to go back home and get some sleep as its getting pretty late.

What I didn't notice however, is that my watch showed the symbol of the Sharicite and this time it glowed purple. The watch then glows all of the colors of each four nations before it finally glows a completely different color which was golden. I see the golden glow of my watch from the corner of my eye and was slightly confused by that before it dies down. I shrug my shoulders at this before continuing to stroll back home. I don't see it, but Uranus fades in just a bit behind me and a tear escapes her eye as she smiles down at me before disappearing.

Subplot End.
