Nep x Nep part 1

"WAKEY WAKEY!  EGGS AND BACEY!"

With a swift, but gentle, slam I turn off the pudding cup alarm that my dear sister Neptune had custom built for me.  Mine had stopped working for whatever reason and she spent a nice chunk of her savings for this too, so I may be a little more appreciative than I should.  Actually...I think I've started seeing her in a different light ever since then.  The things she does for me seem sweeter than usual, although I still wish she had a little more incentive to do things around here.  Maybe that medicine I bought from Gust a few days ago will do the trick...I know it's a little wrong to give her something without her knowing but she wouldn't go for this idea at all.  "Ah...and so begins another wonderful day of-"

"Aaaaah!"

That scream came from Neptune's room!  There's no time to get out of these pajamas, I've got to save my sister from whoever that voice came from.  Leaping out of bed I charge out of my room and down the hallway towards her room, wondering whose voice that was.  "I'm on the way Neptune!  Hang in there!"  That voice seemed a little familiar, but it was far too deep and mature to be my sister.  "I'm almost there!"  I kicked her door open and was greeted by Neptune, who was looked like she was hiding or looking for something under the sheets.

"Gracious me, Nepgear...I...I don't know what's happened to me."  Gracious?  I don't ever remember her saying anything like that...and her voice...  "I've been feeling odd ever since our lunch with Nisa and Gust.  Their little tour of justice and profit aside, I think something may have been wrong with something I ate.  I feel fine now but..."  She couldn't have figured out I tampered with her food, Gust said that she would be able to taste it...although she did say eat, so she missed the mark.  "...it's like I'm a completely different person!"  She threw the sheets down to reveal herself and the very sight of her had me clutching my chest in pain.

"N-Neptune?"  I couldn't believe my eyes, my short sister looked as if she had gotten much bigger than me...in more ways than one.  N-no, I shouldn't be noticing things like that off the bat, she's my sister!  I tried to avert my eyes but she jumped out of her bed and ran towards me in a panic and grabbed my shoulders.

"Wh-what's happened to me?  I'm suddenly big everywhere and I feel really heavy, as if I've transformed into Purple Heart or something.  I'm not used to walking around like this all the time!"  Her panicked words seemed to fade away as I stared at her mature physique.  Her hair had grown as well and nearly flowed down to her waist.  I...I hadn't noticed her pajamas didn't grow with her as well...  "Are you even listening to me Nepgear?"  I could feel my face reddening as she inched closer with a worried look on her face.

"Um..."  I could only continue looking down, staring at her exposed legs and pa-pa-pa... "You're a little..."  I choked on my words a little as my gaze focused on the dainty, striped pair of clothes she wore...

"I'm what?"  She backed off of me for a second and took a look at herself to see her entire lower body exposed.  Down from her beautiful hips to her all the way down to her feet, which also made me feel strange things.  In a hurry she pulled her shirt down and sat on her bed while trying to cover herself up.  "Histoooooire!"

Oh no, what if Histoire is able to do something about this?  I can't have her making Neptune normal again; I finally have an older sister that looks and will hopefully act the part.  She just needs to get used to this body, then she'll be the perfect big sister.  I just have to convince her that this is for the best and I have to make sure Histoire doesn't interfere too much.

"Girls?"  She's here already?  "I expect this rambunctious behavior from Neptune, although not this early in the morning.  Nepgear on the other hand I-"  She hovered in and stopped mid-sentence as let herself in and saw my sister.  "Oh, pardon me, I didn't know you were having company over.  Sorry for interrupting..."  She was only gone for a few seconds before she gasped loudly and came flying back in straight towards Neptune.  "Wh-wh-what is this?  Neptune, what's happened to you?  Please don't say it's just a growth spurt, that would be quite the stretch."

Goodness, Histoire must've been on the way already, she's never gotten here that fast before.  I have myself to blame with my waking up on time and doing chores for her early.  "Th-that's actually what's happened to her.  She's been acting weird lately and I remember her mentioning something along the lines of a fever."  This is something the both of them have to believe...for my sake.  "I mean, it's not unusual for people to grow so suddenly right?  I think the twins got a couple of inches between them, and Uni-"  My voice cracked and they both turned to me with a strange look on their face.  I hope they don't already suspect me of having anything to do with this.

"Perhaps you should lie down as well, Nepgear.  You're beginning to look under the weather, but I suppose that's to be expected when your sister's appearance takes a turn for the...when you suddenly have a bigger sibling."  She paused, face to face with Neptune, and pondered with a finger on her chin until she slowly began floating out of the room.  "I'm going to have to make some calls and try to get to the bottom of this.  Nepgear, can I trust you to take care of your sister, and yourself while I investigate?"
This might work out in my favor after all!  If Gust is true to her word, and she usually is when money is involved, she won't break her confidentiality agreement and no one will be the wiser.  "Of course I can take care of her.  No matter how big she gets I'll always be the one to take care care of her."  Histoire, please leave already.  "Take your time Histoire.  I-I mean, you don't want to accidentally overlook anything."

It sounded like she was mumbling something to herself as she left the room, but I couldn't make out her words.  I gave her a few seconds to fly away and gave her one last farewell before closing the door silently...and locking it.  I want to have some alone time with my...dear, big sister before I go about my day.  The combination of her confusion and being awake so early in morning is probably my best chance to get familiar with Neptune's new body.  "Little sis, why are you looking at me like that?"  I can't help myself it seems, she's always been a person I've looked up to, but this change in her appearance has stirred something inside me.  "Y-you're starting to worry me Nepgear.  Is something wrong with me?"

"Oh...no.  Nothing is wrong with you Neptune."  After a few brisk steps I took a seat right next to her and looked her in her eyes...but she seemed a little frightened or something.  "I'm just admiring my beautiful, mature, older sister.  Is there something wrong with that?"  There may have been something wrong with my tone of voice, she scooted away towards the head of the bed and didn't bother trying to keep her pajama top down.

"P-please stop Nepgear, you're making me feel weird."  Her back hit the headboard and her breathing sped up as she built up a mild sweat.

Maybe she felt the same way about me now that she could see me properly from an elder sister's perspective?  "H-how weird?  Where are you feeling weird at!?"  I couldn't hold my excitement any longer and nearly pounced on her in a hurry.  I have to ease her into forging a new, closer relationship as sisters now that Gust's concoction worked.

"Can you...back up a little?  You're really close to my face and that's only making my chest hurt even more."  Goodness, I didn't realize I had gotten face to face with her.  I really should learn to control my actions better before I scare her.  I backed off a little and put my hand on one of her smooth thighs for reassurance.  "When you do things like that my heart starts racing and I can't tell if I'm happy that you're here for me..."

I knew it!  It was only a matter of time before she realized that as siblings we have to stick together no matter what, and to be a large part of each others lives.  "Oh Neptune, I-"

"...or if I'm afraid with the way you've been acting."  Those words struck my heart with what felt like a thousands of tiny needles piercing my heart.  She winced as my hand's grip involuntarily tightened on her thigh, but she didn't struggle to get away or anything.  "I know you must be excited to finally have a sister that's a bigger and older, and you probably just want to...get familiar with me again.  Right?"
I have to choose my next words carefully.  "Y-yeah, something like that."  I can't beat around the bush either, I have to guide her into doing what I want without sounding too aggressive.  "Now that you mention it, it's been a while since we've done sisterly things.  Like bathing and scrubbing each others backs.  Ooh, we should go ahead and do that right away while the idea is fresh in our minds!"  I looked at her expectantly, waiting for a positive response, but she only sighed and shook her head.

"Seeing your enthusiasm seems to have calmed me down a little.  I guess you just wanted to get closer to your revamped big sister is all.  Unfortunately I already have plans to do yet another training session with Noire, and I couldn't have asked for a better time for one."  She's looking forward to doing exercises, Gust's potion is already doing wonders for her work ethic.  It's just a shame that it's Noire that she wants to spend time with...  "So if you could let go of my leg so I can find some clothes that can fit me, I'd appreciate it."

"No!"  I grabbed hold of her other leg and closed the gap between our faces, breathing heavily as her words began cement themselves in my mind.  She wants to leave me...f-for Noire?  She already has a sister, if she wants company she can go to Uni and leave us alone.  "What about us?  We're supposed to be spending the day together!"

"Nepgear please, you're being very childish right now.  I've already made plans and you're making it hard to consider rescheduling them.  Not that it would do any good since Noire should be here by now.  I owe Noire for making her work extra hard to just get me out of bed in the past, so please, let go of my legs."  My grip tightened as my eyes watered...she seriously wants to leave me to play with Noire.

A sudden commotion at the door stopped me from making my next move.  "Hey, Neptune!  You better be awake!"  She's already here!?  "Huh?  Did you lock yourself in your room again?"  She tried opening the door again, but it was no use thanks to my earlier precautions.

"Just a second Noire!  I'm taking care of a little personal business first."  Neptune grabbed both of my hands and pried them off her legs, and looked at me with determination that I thought I'd only see from her HDD.  "Listen Nepgear, your little...tantrum over this change is unacceptable.  If I'm to be the older sister then I suppose I'll start acting the part now.  You're going to go to your room right now and leave me and Noire to our business."  She grabbed me by the hand and led me towards the door, where I could hear Noire pacing back and forth.  In one swift motion Neptune unlocked the door and guided me out of the room with her free hand, right past Noire.

"Oh, morning Nepgear, were you having....trouble...with..."  As expected Noire was struck with awe as she laid her eyes on MY sister.  "Wha-wha-wha-"

"I'll explain soon."  Neptune grabbed Noire by the hand, causing her face to go a deep red, and pulled her into the room.  With one final look Neptune sternly said, "Go to your room, and don't come out until Histoire or I say so."  I couldn't say anything back before she closed the door and locked it behind her.

"B...but..."  We're the ones who should be spending time together.  Not that...that Black Heart woman!
