"The sun's comin' up. Even after the darkest nights, morning always comes."

Birds start to chirp as the sun rises over the ocean, casting an orange glow. The sun starts to cast its rays on the Azur Lane base on a calm Monday morning. Everything is quiet, but a few soldiers and ship-girls about the base.

Ships and soldiers from the four main factions walk around, slowly getting used to each other, as it only has been a week since the cease fire was called. Tensions are still high, but everything remains calm.

Suddenly a robotic Eagle swoops down from the sky and flies past several ships-girls and a couple soldiers. The bird then circles the dorms and then lands on a large tree branch. The eagle hops down the branch and looks into an open window, where the curtains flow in a small breeze.

The robotic eagle caws a few times as the sun rises up behind it.

Inside the dorm we see a large bed with Alicorn sleeping on it. Her soft breaths have a rhythmic beat, her long ashen blond hair is covering her face. The clock on her nightstand hits 7 AM and her record player automatically starts up and plays a song.

Alicorn lets out a soft moan as she opens her siren yellow eyes. She lets out a yawn and pats two spots on either side of her, she then slightly frowns as she finds nothing.

"They must have gone to work already." Alicorn mutters.

Alicorn lets out along yawn as she sits up, revealing she's wearing nothing but an oversized shirt. She brings up her right arm, which is pure white from the elbow down, and rubs her eyes. She the slides to the side of her bed and slowly gets out of bed.

She hears a robotic chirp out the window.

"Good morning Avis." Alicorn calls out and she gets a chirp in response.

Alicorn walks to her wardrobe as she slightly sways to the music. "I don't want to set the world on fire~" Alicorn sings along with the music. "I just want to start. A flame in your heart."

Alicorn smiles as she reaches her wardrobe and the large mirror next to it. Alicorn holds her arms up and stretches and lets out a soft moan, before yawning.

Alicorn takes off the large shirt that goes down to her knees and puts it in a basket next to the mirror. Alicorn then stands in front of the mirror, looking at her bare naked body. She rubs a hand over the large scar over her right eye, then the small one over her left eyebrow.

Then she just stares at her self for a few seconds before titling her head and showing a small smile. Then her eyes lower down to her two very small mounds on her chest.

Alicorn frowns as she puts a hand over her chest. "Why am I so small, I'm such a big and powerful ship, yet I have these tiny things." She huffs in annoyance. "This isn't fair, even Unicorn has a bigger chest than me... What if I drink more milk?"

Alicorn then looks at her pale right arm and moves it around, before opening and closing her hand a few times. A foreign and familiar feeling accompanies her little test.

Alicorn shivers a little and shakes her right arm a little. Then she moves over to the wardrobe and starts to get changed.

After several minutes Alicorn puts on her tiara, then her military coat on. She smooths out her coat and adjusts her medals a few times. She then reaches into the wardrobe and pulls out her Medal of Honor. She then puts it around her next and looks into the mirror.
