Chapter 15-1: Holy Morning

Morning came around as fast as you fell asleep,after the Christmas Party.
Waking up to the sound of birds chirping,the sun smiling upon the Port.You take get dressed and head to the Office where Z23 eagerly awaits you.

"Morning Commander,slept well ?" Zed asks,greeting you in the office with a smile.
"Morning to you too Z,yes i did.And yourself ?" you ask her.
"Splendid Commander,thanks for asking." she replies.

Drinking the cup of Coffee Zed brought,you realize...you have to still decide whom's hands you shall take as your Wives.
"Commander,i-i have a request for you.." Zed says,worry growing strong on her face.
"What is it Z ?" you ask her.
"You know i love you..." she says,hiding her feelings

"Of course i know that Z,i love you too." you tell the destroyer.
"Ca-Can i become one of your Wives !?" Z23 yells out,as if holding this back..
"*smile* You can become my Wife Zed." you say,hugging her tight.

You've decided to go check on the Girls Dorm,seeing if everyone opened their Gifts.Knocking at the door of the Dorm,it opens revealing all the Ship Girls,sitting in a circle,eagerly waiting for their Commander to arrive.
They open them one by one,admiring the Gifts they got.

"I always wanted this!" you hear one of the Ship Girls say.
"Now then ! I want to say that,i have not picked these Gifts for you.You picked them out for each other." you announce proudly.
"But how ?" someone asks.
"Do you remember i asked each one of you,during the Party yesterday,what you want the most for Christmas ?" you say.
"Z23,has taken notes of each ones desired Gift.And bought them.This does not mean,i am the,Santa Claus this year,but everyone is." you say.

Cheering and applause spreads through the Room filling the air with joy and laughter,Christmas joy.

The Day passes with Everyone Relaxing either,in the in-door Bathhouse,Playing in the Snow or even enjoying a warm Cup of Chocolate at the Port's Coffee Shop.
You head back to the office and finish up the last reports for this Year,nothing else will,hopefully happen,until next Year.
