OH GOD SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.

You eyes dart back and forth to scan your room. Neither Heerman nor Johnston were present, either, making this deathly silence all the more concerning. You immediately leap out of bed, wondering what to do. Call the Captain? Find some of your friends? Gaaaaah!

You open up your datalink to get a line to Anna, since it was way faster and more convenient than a phone at this point.

"Hoel?"

"ANNAAAAAAAA!" You yell in a panic. "WHERE DID EVERYBODY GOOOOOOOOO?"

"W-what?" Anna squeaks in surprise.

"ALL THE DESTROYERS ARE GONE! POOF! VANISHED!" You try to explain. "WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU!"

"I-I'm right outside your door!" Anna responds, still perplexed.

Oh right, a side effect of your datalink let you continuously check on on Anna's position. You totally forgot about that. She really was just outside your door! You quickly kick it open, causing the little escort carrier to squeak in surprise.

"ANNA!" You wail. "HEEEEELP!"

"W-with what?!?" Anna stammers. "D-don't you have radar?"

"Oh right!" You blink. "Good idea, Anna!"

Anna just sighs.

You quickly fire up your radar, pinging the whole base. You search through all the contacts, looking for destroyers...

And there! But they were all clustered up near the front gate of the base? Why was that?

You drag Anna like a balloon, careening through the base at full speed. Thankfully, this wasn't really the first time you've done this, so you know the way and waving through the halls and roads was a simple matter. It doesn't take long for you to reach the parking lot near the front gate, where you could see a row of large buses, all literally bustling with activity. Apparently, a number of destroyer girls, both American and Japanese, were packed into them. Milling about on the outside like a bunch of chaperones were none other than Portland, Indianapolis, San Francisco, San Diego, Heerman, and Johnston.

"WHAT THE HELL." You bark as you come screeching to a halt, catching a terrified Anna to keep her momentum from propelling her into the side of one of the buses. "You're all going on a trip and didn't tell me?!?!"

"I thought you told her." Portland frowns disapprovingly at your sisters.

"Ah, well, she looked so peaceful that we didn't want to disturb her!" Johnston laughs a little unconvincingly.

"And we were in a bit of a hurry." Heerman backs her up.

"Tell me what?" You blink.

"You didn't know?" Anna's antenna twitches as she recovers her breath. "The Admiral gave most of the destroyers the day off."

Indeed, you could catch the happy faces of Kidd, Wren, Daly, and Luce through the tinted windows the bus, as well as a bunch of other destroyers, including DesDiv6, Fubuki, Yuudachi, and Mutsuki. It was like a party everybody was invited to but you!

"We're taking them to Tokyo Disneyland." San Diego explains.

"The fuck? You're all going on vacation and you didn't invite me?!" You gasp.

"Oh, trust me, Hoel, this is no vacation." San Francisco groans, looking hollower and deader inside without her alcohol fix. "You wanna babysit over fifty destroyers who are going to disperse themselves over an 115 acre area? Your sisters were doing you a favor."

"Besides!" Johnston laughs again as she puts a hand on your shoulder and leans in. "We thought you would want to spend the weekend out with Anna!"

"W-what?" You pause.

"I think the two of you could us the quality time." Heerman nods, trying to suppress a grin.

You notice the other cruisers nodding knowingly.

"H-huh?" Anna's antenna twitches even more, just as confused as you are.

"Wait, are you trying to set us up for a DATE?!" You raise a suspicious eyebrow.

"W-W-WHAAAAAT?!" Anna yelps, her face immediately going red.

"Their words, not mine." Portland sighs and shakes her head. "I just figured you two could use some time off base."

"And again, you're not going to have to herd over 50 destroyers." San Fran reiterates. "Worse than herding cats."

"Hey, hey! What's the holdup!?" Sam pokes her head out of the door of one of the buses. "Oh, hey Hoel! Anna!"

"Uh, hey." You wave back to her. "You're in on this too?"

"Hey, I'm technically a destroyer!" Sam insists. "So I count!"

Hope you don't have to babysit her too." You roll your eyes.

"Hey, I can take care of myself!" Sam huffs. "Anyways, have fun! I'll make sure to conveniently ignore any charges from love hotels~!"

"W-we would never-!" Anna stammers.

"Well, if you're offering, I'll be sure to run up a massive bill!" You chuckle.

"W-w-whaaaaat?!?!" Anna's ears start to leak steam in distress.

"I'm just messin' with ya, Anna!" You laugh as you slap her on the back. "But yeah, I've never actually gone into Tokyo or anything before, so I'm actually kinda curious what it's like!"

"Ohohoho!" Anna smiles smugly. "It just so happens I know a thing or two about the city! I was stationed here until the '60s!"

"Well, you two have fun!" Sam nods. "All right girls, let's load up and get moving!"

The cruisers all wave you goodbye, while Johnston gives you a sly wink and Heerman an encouraging nod before they all board the buses. They then roll out of the parking lot and front gate, and it's just then that you notice a small convoy of humvees and trucks trailing the buses like a convoy, the vehicles bearing the markings of the Yokosuka Military Police.

Guess they weren't taking any chances.

"Ohmygosh, what are we going to wear?" Anna begins to fret.

Hm, well, going around in uniform was a sure way to get recognized. Considered all you've done, you'd probably get treated like royalty. Then again, that would a LOT of attention on the two of you. Maybe go in something more casual...?

"Hmmmm, yeah, I think it's better if we go incognito." You nod as the last humvee in the long vacation convoy clears the front gate. "Let's get changed and meet up back here!"

"Okay!" Anna nods.

Thankfully, you had managed to accrue a few sets of casual clothing that would let you go about in civilian areas. You hastily pick out a simple selection. A simple shirt and skirt combo with a casual jacket. Nothing too fancy.

Satisfied, you make your way back to the meeting point, where you find Anna already waiting. She's wearing a simple white, long sleeved shirt with an adorable little mini-tie, coupled with green khaki shorts and black, thigh high stockings. She smiles and waves as she sees you approach, her antenna twitching happily.

Yeah, impossibly fucking cute.

"You all set?" You grin as you nudge Anna with your elbow.

"Yep!" Anna smiles as she secures her headphones over her ears. "Let's go!"

The two of you then head over to the front gate. Thankfully, the base had set up a taxi service for shipgirls unfamiliar with the area. All you had to do was hire out a cab and it would take you anywhere in the Tokyo area.

And that's when you see two familiar faces.

"Haida? Blys?" You shuffle forward when you see the Canadian and Polish destroyers gazing at a map of the city. Like you and Anna, they were both dressed casual in fairly simple shirts and skirts, Blys obviously borrowing a set from Haida. "What are you two doing?"

"Oh, Hoel, Anna." Haida nods at your presence. "Erm, me and Blys here got the day off and I wanted to show her around the city, but..."

"...you don't know anything about it." You conclude.

"...yeah." Haida droops in embarrassment.

"It's not like you to be so unprepared!" Blys grins as she pats Haida on the shoulder. "Not getting enough Poutine and Maplebars?"

Haida just groans.

"Hey, how about you tag along with us?" You suggest. "Me and Anna were heading out into the city, too."

"Oh no, we can't impose on you like that-"

"We'll gladly come along!" Blys interrupts Haida, a big eager smile on her face. "Come on, Haida, you have to quit being so overly polite all the time!"

"But-" Haida tries to respond.

"No buts!" Blys is quick to cut her off again and turns to you and Anna. "So where are we going?"

"W-well..." Anna eyes the map, her antenna wiggling from side to side. I guess one of the bigger tourist draws is Shibuya over here. Lots of shopping opportunities there."

"I could get some more clothes for Blys and some souvenirs for the girls back home." Haida nods.

"Or, well..." Anna's cheeks redden. "There's also Akihabara, which I always kinda wanted to see for myself..."

"Oh? What's in there?" You ask.

"Um, well, it's kind of embarrassing you see..." Anna starts sweating profusely.

"Anna." You narrow your eyes.

"W-well there's lots of good tech stores there! I was thinking of getting some new sound equipment!" Anna explains.

Oh, simple enough.

"Hey, how about we go to Akihabara?" You turn to Haida and Blys.

"Sure, why not?" Blys nods energetically.

"Where have I heard that name before...?" Haida pauses to think but doesn't get much of a chance to when Blys grabs her hand and pulls her along.

"W-w-what, really?" Anna pauses as if not expecting you to actually choose Akihabara.

"Hey, you wouldn't suggest it if you didn't want to go, right?" You wink at her. "Come on!"

"U-uh, okay..." Anna gulps as the four of you trot over to a nearby van.

"Akihabara." You say to him as you and your fellow destroyers climb in.

"Got it." The driver nods.

As the van begins to pull out of the base, you catch a glance of a set of posters plastered on the wall. You realize it's a picture of Repulse.

With the words "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SHIPGIRL?" plastered underneath it.

Poor Dorsetshire, you think.

Regardless, it was going to be a bit of a drive to Akihabara, giving you some spare time.

"As Haida and Blys take in the sights and Anna starts listening to tunes on her headphones, you quietly shift to the side and take out your phone, dialing Woel's special number.

It rings a few times before someone finally picks up.

"Hey, Hoel." Woel responds, sounding extremely tired.

"Something wrong, Woel?" You ask with worry. "Those Reds giving you trouble?"

"Yes. Well, yes and no." Woel sighs loudly. "Things have been getting a bit tough around here lately, what with the Russian navy and Abyssals moving around much more than before.

"Wait, you're avoiding the Russia navy, too?" You raise an eyebrow.

"It's... complicated." Woel tries to brush it off. "Anyways, we heard what you all did down in Singapore. It's really got all the girls up here talking. Starting to think we got a real shot at winning this war!"

"Hey, don't change the subject." You glower, earning a brief, concerned glance from Anna. "I met the Russian ambassador, and he claimed there weren't any Russian shipgirls."

"Huh... he told you that? Guess I shouldn't be surprised." Woel sighs.

"What's going on?"

"Well, I don't know the details myself, but from what I could gather, the girls here weren't particularly happy with the way the Russians were treating them and decided to just... leave." Woel tries to explain. "So, yeah. I'm basically stuck on an oil rig full of Russian vigilante deserters. Pretty weird, huh?"

"Do you need help?" You grip your phone tight. "If I talk to the Captain-"

"The war is the same war as everyone else." You growl. "I don't have 'my own war.'"

Woel is silent for a long while before she speaks again.

"All right, all right. I get it." She groans. "I'm sure you can get Anna to track the signal on this phone. Just uh... let me know ahead of time when you're coming. Don't want any of these girls shooting you on accident."

"Got it." You nod. "See ya, Woel. Be safe."

"You too."

You then hang up your phone and turn to Anna.

"Don't worry, I already got it triangulated. I'll give the coordinates to the Admiral when we get back!" Anna grins.

"Good girl." You grin back as you ruffle her hair.

"H-hey!" Anna giggles.

"I think we're here"! Blys plants her face against the window.

"Are you sure this is the right place...?" Haida frowns.

You look out the window, and sure enough, you see what looks to be a crowded section of the city. Bright neon and electric lights lined the walls and roofs of the towering buildings, and the streets were packed with people.

However, what caught your eye immediately was...

You saw.... a lot of people in costumes like it was fucking Halloween or something. You saw them standing out in front of stores, or wandering the streets, passing out flyers and pamphlets like Mormons. Most the you didn't recognize, but...

"Holy crap, there's two Hoels and Annas!" Blys' eyes widen in shock as she points.

"Blys, that's- ohmygod you're right." Haida gasps.

"What?!" You turn to see where they're gazing and sure enough, you see... yourself and Anna, in full shipgirl uniform on the street.

However, it was just you and Anna. You could see Iowas, Kongous, Saratogas, even a lone wandering Portland. These were people. Regular people, dressed up as shipgirls!

"Oh no..." Anna squeaks in embarrassment. "I was afraid this was going to happen..."

"Is this a thing?" You narrow your eyes.

"I-It's a tradition in Akihabara. Cosplay." Anna tries to explain as best she can. "Basically, they have people dress up as famous characters to attract attention..."

"Well it certainly worked." You fume, glaring at the copy Hoel and Anna from afar.

"Damnit! They look even hotter than we do!" You seethe, and then turn to Anna. "Except you, Anna. The original is waaaay better."

"H-Hoel!" Anna whines, turning red again.

"Aaaaaaaaaaw!" Blys cooes.

"Ugh." Haida rolls her eyes, looking like she's about to barf.

"W-well let's get going already!" Anna takes your hand and starts tugging. "Let's go see the rest!"

"Hey, let's at least see what these impostors are shilling." You say as you head over to the two cosplayers.

"A-are you sure that's a good idea?" Anna cautions. "What if they recognize us?"

"Bah, it's the last thing they'd expect!" Blys laughs. "Besides, it's not like you're in uniform or anything, right?"

"I-I suppose..." Anna nods.

"Hey, I'll take one of those." You say as you grab one of the pamphlets.

"Hey!" Not!Hoel points to you. "You looking for a part time job?"

"Ummm... not particularly?" You frown, your eyes darting about in confusion. "Why?"

"Aw, pity." Not!Anna shakes her head. "You and your friend there are almost dead ringers for Hoel and Annapolis! You two would make good cosplayers!"

"You're kidding me." You groan.

"R-really?" Anna's eyes shine a bit.

"Anyways, we better keep moving!" The two cosplayers wave. "Bye! And have a great day!"

"Well, at least they're polite." Haida watches the two go.

You take the chance to look at the pamplet, and you frown at what it reads.

"So Anna, where do ya want to go?" You ask as you quickly stuff the pamphlet into your pocket.

"O-oh! It's this way!" Anna tugs at you as she navigates the crowded streets, a bright smile on her face. She pulls you around a corner and then you see why.

Right there is a store, one of the many lining the streets, but above it was a giant neon sign in the shape of a pair of headphones. Of course.

"Come on! Come on!" Anna shines as she practically skips to the store. You, Haida, and Blys follow in her wake.

And naturally enough, it was some kind of specialized headphone store. All along the shelves, you can see headphones of various kinds, in all kinds of shapes and colors. You see Blys immediately drawn to a pair with some tiny wings sprouting out of it like an angel band, while a resigned Haida reaches for her wallet.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnn!" Anna whines as she darts to and fro. "There's sooooooo many choices! I don't know what to pick!"

"Is it that hard?" You frown.

"Yes!" Anna's antenna then shoots up straight. "I know! Hoel, pick one!"

"What, me?" You blink in surprise.

"Yeah!" Anna nods and then closes her eyes. "I trust you!"

"Why are you closing your eyes?"

"So it'll be surprise, of course!"

Oh Anna...

You glance at the shelf. So many options...

You pick out something titled "Raygun", which looked kinda neat, with a smooth yet angular finish and little gold rings. It sort of had this futuristic, yet somewhat nostalgic feel to it.

"How about this?" You grin as you hand the headphones to Anna.

"They're amazing!" Anna's eyes widen and she hugs you. "Thanks, Hoel!"

"Aw, it's nothing." You laugh nervously. "I just kinda picked randomly!"

"Still, '50s futurist design was pretty neat!" Anna smiles warmly. "Reminds me of the Iron Giant!"

"The what giant?" You ask.

"Oh right! I didn't show you that one yet!" Anna gasps. "Don't worry, it's next on the list!"

"Huh, okay..."

"Oh no, how did it get so late already?!" Anna gasps as she checks her watch. "It'll be dark by the time we get back to the base..."

"We can always stay at a "hotel~". You say somewhat half jokingly.

"R-really?" Anna blinks and then shuffles nervously. "Umm... okay then."

W-wait, what?

"You're really agreeing to it?" You pause.

"Well why n-not?" Anna stammers. "U-unless you're just playing another joke on me?"

"N-no, not at all." You shake your head, suddenly feeling very flustered and anxious. S-shit, you didn't next things to go this way!

"What about Haida and Blys?" You point.

"Well, they should be able to find their way back." Anna counters as she takes a deep breathe, trying to gather up all her courage. "Besides, it'll be a new experience, right? I'm looking forward to it!"

Just seeing Anna smile like that ends all debate.

Unfortunately, there was only one sentence you could say.

"Not a word of this to Sweet Pea."

"Deal." Anna nods.
