Neptune blinked as she stared at the vast ocean in front of her. The various visitors around her, playing and relaxing without a care in the world. The sounds of the waves smoothly rumbled her eardrums. The sight of the blue ocean meeting the sky was truly a sight for sore eyes. The smell of the salty sea filled her lungs. Filling them with a familiar, and yet unfamiliar scent she hadn't smelled in a long time. The warmth of the sun with the gentle touch of the wind, sent shivers down her spine.
How long was it since she last saw the ocean like this?
“Sis… Sis!”
“W-Wah?!!”
All of a sudden, purple saucers appeared in front of her, causing her to stumble back in surprise, and eventually fall onto her ass.
“Goodness, are you okay Sis?” Nepgear asked with concern in her voice as she reached her hand out for Neptune to grab.
“Ah.. yeah," Neptune stared into the vast emptiness that was the ocean for one last time before taking her younger sister's hand and pulling herself up. "Yeah I’m fine. Don't worry about it, Junior.”
“You sure?” Nepgear asked once more with a frown.
“I’m fine." Neptune answered forcefully, instantly ending this part of the conversation, "What do you need me for anyway?”
“Obviously, we need you to strip.” Nepgear said with a straight tone in her voice as she smiled at her older sister.
“I see…" Neptune hummed, "You want me to… strip…?! Wait, what?!”
Nepgear unflinchingly nodded and kept her smile, “Yup! I want you to strip.”
Neptune was left speechless and dumbfounded at the ridiculousness of the lilac-ette's request. So much so that there weren't any words that could come out of her mouth at the current moment.
“So…?” Nepgear cocked her head.
Neptune shook her head and had a fierce look in her eyes, "I'm not stripping! Are you crazy?!"
"Why not?"
"There's people here, Junior!"
"And?"
"I'm not a nudist I'll have you know!"
Nepgear simply signed and shook her head, "And here I was hoping that I could examine your body better…"
Neptune paced herself a little bit away from her sister, "Like hell you're going to! I'm already in a bikini and everything! And don't think I forgot about what happened in the bath that one time!"
"Hmmm?" Compa asked as she walked in behind Neptune, "What are you two talking about?"
Neptune turned around and waved her hands in front of her in a panic, "N-Nothing, Compa."
Compa cocked her head sideways and had a visible question mark above her head, "I don't get it… but sure."
Neptune let out a sigh of relief. Which was short lived as she could feel Nepgear's slender hands fondle her boobs tightly…
"NEPU?!" The purplette shrieked in absolute horror as she jumped back and knocked Compa down to the ground.
"Desu!"
"S-Sorry, Compa!" Neptune apologized to her friend, turning back slightly but keeping her gaze focused mostly on Nepgear so that the woman couldn't try and make any more sneak attacks on her.
“What was that about?” Nepgear asked with a childish pout on her face, “All I wanted to do was grab a feel of your-”
Compa stood up with the help of Neptune and sighed, “Ge-Ge, I think you should stop. Nep-Nep already told you to do twice, and you haven’t listened to her.”
“But!-”
“No buts!” Compa said, quickly interrupting the woman, “Besides, aren’t my own boobs enough to satisfy you?”
Nepgear shook her head fervently, “No! Sis hasn’t had boobs ever up until now! So I just want to…”
That’s when Nepgear finally noticed, “Hey, Compa?”
Compa blinked, “Desu?”
“Where’s Sis?”
----------------------------------------
Neptune let out a sigh of relief once she had turned back and couldn’t see Compa nor Nepgear in the distance.
“Good…” she muttered to herself, short of breath after running quite a large distance in the sand. Speaking of, “Damn, that took a lot out of me for some reason….”
Neptune sighed once more and plopped herself down on the sand that spanned in every which way, the only thing breaking the monotony of modern civilization behind her being the waves that crashed into the shoreline in front of her.
“Running in sand really does take a bit out of anyone I guess…”
Normally she’d fly in these types of situations, but she couldn’t exactly do that nowadays.

Neptune glanced up to the blue sky above, “A break huh?”
For all she knew, this was just a waste of money. It’s not like they didn’t orchestrate this vacation with her in mind. If one were to think about it, this vacation really was about her finally taking a day off or two.
“I have no work tomorrow…”
How long ago was she able to say that line? The sentence that came out of her mouth was a first for her to hear with her own two ears, coming out of her own mouth.
She stared at the water a bit more before standing back up. Her breathing now normalized, the purplette did some stretches.
“Do I even remember how to swim, I wonder?”
There was only one way to find out.
----------------------------------------
“Shit… I should’ve brought a towel.”
She didn’t swim for a particularly long amount of time, but even then she could see the sun setting across the horizon.
Neptune’s problem however was that she forgot to bring a towel. Which meant that as she stood on the sand, she was getting cold. And while it wasn’t anything serious now, if she stayed like this she would surely be freezing.
“Where’s the showers building actually? I could probably just go there instead…” she mumbled to herself, looking around to find the building in question.
After a bit of searching, she found it to not be too far from where she was and made her way over to it, the only thought on her mind being that she would have a quick shower and then head straight to their hotel room.
Because surprise surprise, she forgot to grab a change of clothes as well.
Good job, Neptune.
“Huh?” Neptune asked herself after a moment of sneezing, “Why did I feel a sudden cold chill?”
She shrugged her shoulders and walked inside the small building, and when she did, the first person she saw was…
A certain busty blonde had just exited from the showers and was now staring the purplette straight in the face. An amused look on her face.
“Oh, fancy seeing you here, Neptune.”
Neptune quickly stepped past her and took Vert’s spot to shower, not muttering a word or showing any emotion towards the blonde. Lest it get really, REALLY HEATED.
“I see…” Vert hummed as she watched Neptune take a shower for a little bit, “So that’s how it is…”
Neptune made sure to take a long shower to try and dissuade Vert from waiting for her, think of a thirty minute shower, and yet when she walked out of the shower with a relaxed sigh, there she was.
That stupid blonde, holding that smirk on her face as she tossed her a towel and crossed her arms.
“You took quite a while, didn’t you Neptune?”
Neptune begrudgingly used the towel Vert gave her to dry herself off and growled slightly at the blonde, “And what of it? It’s none of your business, Vert.”
Vert raised an eyebrow, “Why are you so hostile to me? All I am is trying to make small talk here. We haven’t talked in a while after all.”
The towel she gave Neptune suddenly came flying back at her with tremendous force, and Vert was only barely able to catch the item by the skin of her teeth. Truly her senses had dulled.
“I told you it’s none of your business.” Neptune repeated, grabbing a different towel than the one Vert had given her, “If you want to make small talk then how about the topics be things that are more…”
She glared at the tit monster in front of her, “In the moment? Huh? Ever thought of that?”
Unfortunately for Neptune, that only left Vert more confused. “But the last time I did that you had tried to seriously injure me. Am I hitting the wrong nerve continuously, Neptune? If I am then you’re not being very clear about it.”
The purplette groaned, “You really turned into an idiot huh?”
“I do not appreciate those words coming out of your mouth, Neptune.”
“Kind of like how I didn’t appreciate you talking bad about my parenting? When none of you wanted to take IF and Compa in and care for them?”
Vert was silent at that.
“That’s what I fucking thought, bitch.” Neptune spat, “Don’t talk down to me like that ever again, or else I’ll sling it right back at you.”
“I’m-...”
“I don’t want your sympathy.” Neptune cut her off, “I want you out of my life. You and the other two caused so many problems for me. You’re lucky I’m not lashing out at you like last time. Because there’s no one to save you now if I were to get really, REALLY mad.”
Without another word, Neptune grabbed more towels to wrap around her body and left the shower building. Leaving Vert behind, still speechless at the events that had just transpired in front of her eyes.
“Did we really treat her that poorly in the past…?”
----------------------------------------
Neptune let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Compa who had opened the door to their hotel room instead of Nepgear.
“Goodness, Nep-Nep, why are you carrying your bikini and only wearing towels?” Compa asked as the purplette stepped into their hotel room.
“I forgot to bring a change of clothes.” Neptune explained sheepishly, “Or I guess I wouldn’t have forgotten to bring a change of clothes had I taken them with me. But considering what happened at the time…”
She glanced past the congo-haired woman to see her younger sister relaxing on one of the beds, and give her a smile and wave once she saw her older sister.
“I couldn’t exactly grab my clothes.”
Compa blinked, “Mmmm? I didn’t think it was that bad though?”
Neptune groaned, “Well, whatever the case is. I didn't get to spend much of my first day of vacation, well… 'vacationing'. So I think I'm just going to head to bed."
"But it's only 8? You Know there's still dinner, right, Sis?" Nepgear called from behind her.
"Yeah and my night's been soured because I saw Vert in the shower building. So I'd rather not potentially see her again for the rear of the night."
A moment of silence before Nepgear eventually spoke up.
"F-Fair enough…"
Neptune shook her head. "Now if that's all in order, I'd like to find my nightgown. You two can have fun with dinner and whatever. I'm already drained from today."
Neptune could hear sheets ruffling as Nepgear moved from where she lay on one of the beds. "I'm sorry, Sis. I didn't mean for it to come to that…"
Hearing that, Neptune couldn't help but let out another sigh and turn around to pat Nepgear on top of her head.
"You didn't do anything that wrong, Junior. It was just harmless fun. Even if you do take sisterly bonding a liiiiiitle bit to literally."
Nepgear chuckled sheepishly and nodded, "Thanks, Sis." she gave her older sister a hug and walked over to Company, "And good night."
Comoa nodded, "Ge-Ge and I will be heading out now. We just wanted to make sure you came back first before anything."
Neptune smiled, "Thanks for that guys. Have fun."
Nepgear and Compa promptly left after that, leaving Neptune to scour her luggage to try and find her nightgown.
Which also gave her time to think.
Think about Vert. And about the past…
“And here I thought I’d be sleeping well tonight…"
