(Alicorn size comparison.)

(I've actually played the first song of this video in an Orchestra in Middle School.)

Alicorn is laying in her bed, reading a book. The radio is playing classical music as the ocean sounds come from the barred open windows. There's a knock on her door and she looks at it. "Enter." Alicorn says.

The door opens and in walks Yorktown, wearing a simple white dress with her military coat over her shoulders. Alicorn's mother has a box in her hands. "Hello sweety." Yorktown smiles.

"Hello, Yorktown." Alicorn greets as turns the radio down, Yorktown flinches a little. She turns back to her mother. "Is there a reason for your visitation today?"  She moves to sit on the edge of her bed.

Yorktown smiles. "I've come bringing a gift." She holds up the box as she walks over to Alicorn.

"A gift?" Alicorn raises a brow.

Yorktown nods and holds the box out to Alicorn. She grabs the box and sets it on her lap, Yorktown grabs a nearby chair and sits down in front of her daughter. Alicorn opens up the box and she takes out the item within it. She holds up a military jacket, that's just like Yorktown's, with an american flag armband and a yellow rose on the right chest.

"I made it just in case you get cold." Yorktown informs.

"I'm powered by nuclear engines, so I can never get cold." Alicorn informs as she looks at the coat. Yorktown looks a little sad. "But I will wear it." Yorktown smiles.

"Try it on, try it on!" Yorktown says in excitement.

Alicorn stands up as she slides off her bed. She then slips on the coat and it's a perfect fit for her. She looks at the sleeves and moves her arms around. "It's very comfortable... I like it."

Yorktown clasps her hands together. "I'm very happy that you like it."

Alicorn sits back down as she adjusts the cuffs of the coat. "Is that all you've come to me for?"

Yorktown shakes her head. "It's been a month and a half since you've been here, and I've managed to convince Commander Sicilia to let you be allowed to go down to the docks and the beach. I also got her to agree to let you to test out your sub again, with heavy supervision and limitations."

"That'll.... be nice." Alicorn says as she puts a hand on her chin.

Yorktown smiles. "Now you won't be cooped up in your room all day."

"When is this 'test'?"

"It's in a couple days. I won't be able to come, but Enterprise will be there."

Alicorn sighs. "I guess it's the little freedoms that count."

"Yup." Yorktown stands up. "Well, I need to go sweety, I'll see you later."

Alicorn nods. "See you later, Yorktown."

Yorktown gains a slightly sad look as she gets up and exits the room. Alicorn looks down at the military coat she's wearing. "I really do like this coat."

Alicorn is standing on her sub that's at the docks. A couple battle ships and a few cruisers and destroyers are floating in front of her, all their guns pointed right at her. Enterprise is at the back of the group with Commander Sicilia on her deck.

Peering around the corner of a warehouse is the Destroyer Squad.

Sicilia holds a megaphone up to her mouth. "O-Okay, Alicorn, today we are gonna test and see if your sub still f-f-functions correctly after the repairs you've been given. All your w-weapon systems, except your main battery, have been locked. And your main battery and AA weaponry have no ammo in them. Y-you're c-clear to begin the test." She lowers the megaphone and sweats a little.

Alicorn nods and stands at the bow of her ship. ... Nothing happens.

Sicilia brings the megaphone back up. "I-Is everything okay, A-Alicorn?"

"I...uh..." Alicorn blushes in embarrassment. "I've never really had to move my sub by myself, I always had humans to do that for me."

Everyone sweat drops.

Enterprise grabs the megaphone from her Commander. "Alicorn, close your eyes and get a feeling for your ship. Then hold onto the feeling and command it to your will. Your ship shall listen to you." She hands the megaphone back to Sicilia.

Alicorn lets out a breath as she closes her eyes. A warm feeling rises within her chest and she focus onto that feeling. Her sub starts to move and Alicorn opens her eyes and smiles. "Wow."

Ships move out of her way as Alicorn slowly moves between then, their guns trained onto her.

"Wow, Miss Alicorn did it!" Belchan cheers and the Destroyers, cheer.

Alicorn stops her sub and her main battery comes out. All ships ready just in case. Alicorn moves her guns around and barrels up and down. "Everything feels good." Alicorn aims her guns to the sky and many loud clicks are heard. "They still fire."

Sicilia brings the megaphone up to her mouth. "Okay, A-Alicorn, lets try your r-rigging now."

Alicorn nods and she closes her eyes and focuses on the warm feeling within her chest. Suddenly her sub glows it turns into hundreds of glowing blueish black wisdom cubes. All the cubes move to Alicorn's back and they form her large rigging. She then lands on the ocean surface and floats.

All three heads roar out as their glowing blue eyes look around, then they look at Alicorn as she looks to them

All three heads roar out as their glowing blue eyes look around, then they look at Alicorn as she looks to them. Alicorn holds her hands out. "It's been a while, hasn't it." Midly, Righty and Kevin move their heads and rub against Alicorn's hands.

The three shark-like heads start to mimic purring. Alicorn smiles. "You three are very interesting." The heads roar at her.

Sicilia brings up the megaphone again. "That concludes the test for now, A-Alicorn. L-Let's head back to port."
