Azur Lane: How A Lady Met Her Gentleman (Hood X Dreadnought)

Chapter 4: A... musical?!

As Queen Elizabeth called all or Royal Navy to the canteen. Most of them wondered why she called such an urgent meeting

Queen Elizabeth: I apologize for interrupting your schedules. But the commander has chosen us to play... a musical for this year.
Foxhound: Really?! Commander chose us?!

Arethusa: This will be interesting. What kind of musical are we playing?

Queen Elizabeth: Good question, Arethusa. Its genre will be romance.

Hearing this, all the ship girls step to the side, making Dreadnought and Hood exposed

Dreadnought: W-Wait a second!

Queen Elizabeth: Then it's settled. Hood and Dreadnought shall be the couple.

After the meeting...

Hood: *Stuttering* So... we will be the couple... for this play...
Dreadnought: Yeah...

Sheffield: I got your scripts. Hope you can both sing.

DreadHood: ... Yeah... we can...

As they prepare the stage and props. The duo began memorizing their scripts

Hood: How are you doing with your script, Dreadnought?
Dreadnought: Baahh... I can't memorize the bloody thing.

As he tries memorizing it, Hood smirks to herself as she sees how Dreadnought struggles to memorize his part... it's kinda cute

Hood: Do you need any help?
Dreadnought: Yeah...

Hood: I have... a technique that helps me memorize my lines. But I've never tried it before... since it's a duet... so... Care to dance with me?
Dreadnought: !
Hood: Since our play is about romance... and the scripts have us sing and dance... why not do both at the same time?
Dreadnought: I.... never put it that way before... then. Let's get to it.

She turns on the recorder as they begin to dance

Hood: Here we go... *Song starts* Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide
Dreadnought: Won't you promise me
(Hood: Now won't you promise me
That you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing
(Hood: To keep dancing)

DreadHood: Wherever we go next

DreadHood: It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?

Dreadnought: I... I get it, Hood. This actually... helps me as well... my turn.

He then sings his verse

Dreadnought: Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all

Hood: Yes, that's it.

Dreadnought: And you can't keep us apart
(Hood: Even a thousand miles
Can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is
(Hood: 'Cause my heart is)

DreadHood: Wherever you are

DreadHood: It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
