"Well?" Belldandy and Akane said at the same time.
"Well, I still don't quite remember you, but you do seem familiar," Urd answered. "You are a disconnected goddess and there are some pretty tangled strings around you. Tell you what, I'll call.. oh, wait a minute." The phone rang and Urd answered it. "Yeah? Oh, hi Chihiro. How did you get to a phone? No, we will not come unlock you. It's only been two days. And just for that, you can stay that way another two days." She hung up, then started to dial. "What a wimp she is. Anyway, as I was saying, I'll call... Skuld? It's Urd. Now calm down. I'm not calling you to fix my vibrators again. (Although stop by when you get a chance.) Listen, I've got a goddess disconnected from the system. Belldoodle, I think she said. Hang on, I'll let you talk to her."
Urd handed the phone to Belldandy. While Belldandy explained the problem, Urd walked over and poked Akane in the chest. "Hey, Megumi, how'd you like a pair of these for your own? I can whip you up a couple in no time." Without waiting for an answer, Urd was grabbing pots and bottles and starting to mix.
Megumi walked over and stared at Akane's breasts. "How do they feel?"
Akane could feel her face becoming hot with embarrassment. "You are not feeling my breasts!"
"No, I mean how do they feel?"
Akane was puzzled. "They are heavy, if that's what you mean. My back hurts all the time."
Megumi shook her head. "No, how do they FEEL?"
Akane finally realized what she was asking. "Oh, you mean that. Yes, that feel good."
Megumi nodded and then turn to Urd. "I'll take 'em."
Belldandy finished her call and hung up. "Okay, Akane. Skuld is going to research the problem and meet us at home. We can go now. Thank you, Urd."
Urd looked like she had already forgotten her houseguests. She had put on a pair of rubber gloves and was rubbing some kind of odd smelling stuff On Megumi's chest. "Hmmm? Oh, yeah, no problem. Glad to be of service. See ya, Hellcandy."

"She's going to give that poor girl breasts like mine, isn't she?" Akane asked as they walked back to the bus stop.
"Knowing Urd, I would say bigger than yours," Belldandy answered honestly. "But Megumi is accepting them of her own free will."
"When we get our lives straightened out, what happens to them? Do they change as well?"
"I'm not sure," said Belldandy. "Reality is difficult to work with. Only He fully understands it all."
Akane didn't know how to answer that, but after meeting Urd, she knew she would never take her own sisters for granted ever again.

"It looks like a trash can on a skateboard with a lot of mechanical arms," said an unimpressed Nabiki.
"Don't forget the sewing machine on the back," added an equally unimpressed Akane.
Skuld stuck out her lips in a pout. "This is a highly sophisticated machine! Okay, so it is a trash can on a skateboard but it's the insides that count. This will safely and quickly untangle and repair all the twisted reality lines."
"You did talk to Urd about this, didn't you?" Belldandy asked. She hated to doubt her sister, but the machine did look like it was assembled in a hurry.
"What do you think?" Skuld replied. "Trust me. This can't fail. I'll just switch it on and everything will be fixed in no time."
