Kantai Collection: A New Force For Good

Old And New Discoveries

It was the sound of laughter and yelling that finally awoke her from her slumber. It was the sounds of being alive and in good health that let her know that everything had gone alright. It was the sounds of her fellow fleet members that let Arizona know she had preformed well.

Cracking open an eye, she found a rather undressed Bristol streaking across the room, screaming and laughing as two of her sisters chased after her. Chuckling, Arizona stretched her arms as she laid back against her bath as she fully opened her eyes, letting the full sight and sounds that were apart of the docks register to her senses.

Besides the streaking members of the Bristol class running laps around the docks in the name of fun, the first thing that registered to Arizona's hearing was the conversation ongoing between Haruna and her clearly refreshed sister, Kongou. Taking a moment to herself, it was brought to an end when Kongou spotted her and did not hesitate to call out to the woman.

"Arizona-San, DESU! You're awake at last!" She said in her normal, upbeat tone as she looked at the woman. This of course prompted Haruna to turn to look at the woman as well, an action that prompted Arizona to give a small laugh.

"Well you seem to be well rested...." Arizona laughed, leaning over of her dock a tad to kiss Haruna on the cheek. The former battlecruiser blushed in response to the action, but offered no resistance to it. Arizona only smiled as she settled back down into her bath as Kongou watched the two with a rather large smile upon her lips.

"So.... Marriage, DESS?" Kongou asked, her smile as bright as always. Haruna only blushed deeper as the question seemed to jar Arizona awake more so than she already was.

"Hold just a moment Kongou. We're not gonna get married just out of the blue..." She said, looking at the eldest of the Kongou class. Kongou however just looked at the American like she had gone insane.

"But why, DESU!? You love Haruna-nee and Haruna-nee loves you! Why stay apart!?" She demanded, standing in a flurry as she put her hands on her hips. This of course would be perfectly normal had the woman not of been stark naked.

"Kongou-Onee! Sit down!" Haruna urged, trying to get her eldest sister to sit down. But both she and Arizona knew the battleship was too fired up to do anything to stop her. So Arizona only sighed in response as her fellow battleship tried in vain to get Kongou to tone down the antics. But as she continued to enjoy the dock, the feeling of her fairies running across her non-existent hull as they continued their repairs, she noticed someone approaching her.

She knew it was one of the older girls, that much was clear. But which one for sure without looking, she didn't know. But she didn't have to wait for long as the girl splashed down into her bath with her, their head finding it's way to use Arizona's chest as a pillow.

"Mary...." Arizona sighed as she looked at the battleship currently snuggling her way against the Pennsylvania class girl. "What are you doing...?" She asked slowly. The Colorado class girl only shrugged, sinking her form further into the water despite being bigger than Arizona.

"Because I wanted cuddles and the Admiral is being a meanie...." Maryland replied sleepily, her tone of voice more befitting of that of a five year old. It was clear the woman was barely conscious, and Arizona knew it. But Arizona had also tangled with a sleep induced Maryland before. To say the least, it was an experience that the battleship had no intention of reliving.

But like she knew, Arizona had been in docks before when Mary was like this. And in simple solutions, letting her be was the only real answer. So, Arizona only laid back, allowing the Colorado class woman full reign as she snuggled up to the Super Dreadnaught. At this point however, Haruna and Kongou were watching with a somewhat curious gaze. Well, Kongou was curious. Haruna was more along the lines of quietly upset that she could be in Mary's place. But, both of the former battle cruisers knew how Mary could be as well. So they were in no rush to get in the middle of the rest of Mary's sleeping.
