The group of seven walked across Yokosuka Naval Base, the two American women following a few steps behind the group of Japanese. The group of 3 Naval Personnel and 4 ship girls were dead silent this moment.

On the Ship girl's side of things, they didn't know where to start when it came to talking so freely with an American, let alone two. Although they knew the chance of the two women trying to hurt them was low, actually being able to hurt them even lower still, it didn't change the fact that they represented the very country that sank so many of their sisters without giving it a second thought. So, until instructed otherwise or given a common ground of discussion, they found the idea of silence the best course of action.

As for the two American's preparing to call this base home, they found it more than enough for their nerves. They were walking behind four of the most fearsome vessels the Japanese ever wielded in the war. So they supposed that silence wouldn't hurt anyone at the moment. If only for a while. Even though there was so much that the two wanted to ask about.

Admiral Ishigara walked in front of the group, musing over thoughts of his own. He wasn't going to say anything. He was going to wait and see what happened. Either his girls were going to break the ice with the new visitors, or the Americans were going to take the first step in this new found alliance they found themselves in. But instead, something he didn't account for, but should've, occurred. And he immediately recognized what was coming.

"ADMIRAL!" The voice shouted as it rang through the air. The group of 7 turned their heads to find another ship girl running full sprint towards them. Admiral Ishigara's face showed a new found terror, not usual for his normal expression. The two American officers traded a glance as the four ship girls had their own various expressions, Yamato and Mutsu stifling a small laugh while their respective sisters simply shook their heads.

Anya and Sofia watched as the sprinting ship girl neared them. As she did so, they noticed three others round the corner from where the first had come, looking almost as if they were cheering the first on. They also picked up on the similarities in their outfits.

"ADMIRAL!" The sprinting ship girl yelled once again. She then, when she was within 10 feet distance of the Japanese admiral, launched into a front flip, soaring through the air. Seeing this coming, Ishigara sidestepped at the last second, causing the ship girl to go soaring past him.

But that didn't stop the flying ship girl, as she quickly landed, readjusted, and relaunched towards him within seconds. This time however, when Ishigara side stepped this front flip, he didn't account who the ship girl would crash into. It was answered when Anya soon found herself supporting the ship girl within her own arms. The latter responded with a joyous yell.

"Admiral! You've accepted my love!" She responded happily. Anya stood frozen in place as Sofia laughed at her old friend. Ishigara groaned as the other four ship girls let out small laughs.

"Kongou! Let go of her this instant." Ishigara demanded. That's when Kongou's eyes popped open, looking down at the blonde admiral that was currently holding her. After a few seconds, she got down off of the admiral, looking wildly between Anya and Ishigara. As she did this, the other three ship girls that had been approaching earlier finally reached the group. Ishigara sighed.

"Alright. Admiral Johnson and Captain Algerona, this is the Kongou class. Kongou, Hiei, Kirishima, and Haruna. Girls, this is American Admiral Anya Johnson and Captain Sofia Algerona. Like I've only told everyone about 100 times, they'll be on base with us from now on. So please, behave a bit more...." Ishigara pleaded. The one now known as Kongou turned a curious eye to the two women, looking them both up and down.

"So the yanks are finally here...." Kongou muttered. She then walked right up to Anya and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Just because you're an admiral doesn't mean you get my love!" Kongou stated in an over joyous tone. Her sisters cheered her on from the sidelines as Anya stood there, more confused than anything.
