“Nene!” Moco said with excitement, approaching the other girl. Nene looked over, pausing before she stepped into the Wherever Gate.
“What do you need, Moco?”
Moco just grinned, joining the girl by the gate. “Master told me to come with you on your mission!”
“Your master said that?” Nene questioned, eyes wide and sparkly. “Of course you have to listen to her!”
Moco smiled, and readjusted her grip on Neko. “Let’s go then!” She offered her hand out to Nene, who took it with a blush.
Nene adjusted the gate to lead to the mission site, giving Moco’s hand a small squeeze. They stepped in the portal together, and a warm breeze whooshed past them, then they stepped down onto the ground in the dungeon.
“Come on Moco!” Nene order, and started walking.
“Bossy!” Neko commented.
“What was that, kitty?” Nene sassed, glaring at Moco’s staff.
“Don’t fight. Let’s just go. You need to close up an evil vortex, right?” Moco turned to Nene, tilting her head in questioning.
“Yes, I’ve been sent to seal an evil vortex.” Nene puffed up with pride. “You’ll get to watch me in action!”
Moco smiled. “Let’s go!”
They proceeded through the dungeon. But, although Moco is fully capable of fighting, Nene insisted on taking on every fight.
“Nene, trying to show off for your girlfriend?” Neko hissed at Nene.
“Shut it, cat!” Nene snapped at the staff, but her bright red face showed she obviously was trying to do just that.
Moco just followed behind, watching Nene take on all the Plushkins. But, once they made it to the final room, Nene was obviously starting to get tired. And, when she tried to close the evil vortex, her Dreamtropy was too weak to close it off.
“No!” Nene groaned, grabbing her head in annoyance, and stamped the ground. “Why can’t I do this?”
“Karma!” Neko laughed, and Nene didn’t even have enough energy to yell at him again.
Moco stepped in front of Nene, and held up Neko to face the vortex. She took a deep breath, before directing her Dreamtropy to the vortex, pelting it with the good magic. It finally closed up the portal, and Moco’s stomach grumbled in unison.
“Aw, I’m so hungry now. Nene, you wanna go back?” Moco offered her hand to the girl, which Nene reluctantly took.
“…Thanks for that. I…needed that help.”
Moco offered a small smile, then gently shook Neko.
“Right! Meow-meow, meow! Warp!”
