"So...what do we do?" Samuel Booker Roberts asked, looking stumped.
"Eh?! You're asking me?!" the equally inexperienced Kasuga Maru asked back in surprise.
"Well, I don't think I have enough knowledge on this matter. Or any at all."
"And you think I do?"
"Umm…" another, much more subdued voice spoke out from between the two ships. "Maybe we shouldn't do this after all…"
Kasuga Maru and Sam looked down at the bed, and at the single blonde girl lying fully clothed on it.
"Ah...I think we scared her." said Sam.
"Well, that's understandable." Kasuga Maru agreed.
"I-I'm not scared!" Gambier Bay denied unconvincingly. "It's just...I've never done this before."
"Neither do we." Sam said.
"Traditionally one's first experience should be done by two persons only. It was very bold of you to suggest this, Miss Bay."
"Waah~" Gambier closed her eyes with both hands, looking as red as a boiled crab as she tried to sink deeper into the mattress. "I just didn't want you two to fight…"
"I still think of this as a competition, though." Sam said as she lifted up her shirt, leaving her in her camisole.
"Eh? Eh?" Gambier Bay flustered, not sure of what was happening in front of her eyes.
"Hm. Then I call your challenge." Kasuga Maru followed suit, removing her traditional jacket. Apparently she's not wearing anything underneath.
"W-wait!"
"Yes?" Kasuga maru and Sam said in unison.
"Aren't we going too fast?!"
"I think we're moving at an adequate pace." said Kasuga Maru with a deadpan face.
"Hm. This bed is a bit small for the three of us." said Sam.
"You're the one suggesting that we should use your room."
"Well, I'm the only one without a roomate…"
"You guys are not listening to me at all, are you?" Gambier said.
"Screw this. Let's just start." said Sam, clearly not listening to Gambier Bay as she reached for her shirt.
"W-wait!" Gambier slapped Sam's hand away.
"Ah." Sam withdrew, actually looking guilty. "Sorry."
"I…" Gambier stuttered, covering her chest. "I can do it myself."
Slowly, Gambier Bay unbuttoned her shirt as the two ships watched, uncovering her minimalist black bra.
"I am suddenly feeling very inadequate." said Kasuga Maru.
"For fellow escort carriers built from commercial hulls, you two sure are very different." Sam snickered.
"Hmph." Kasuga Maru frowned, but otherwise not saying anything.
"So, uh…" Gambier Bay muttered. "What now?"
"Hm…" Kasuga Maru mumbled, looking just as confused as she's been all this time.
"I guess we'll just wing it." said Sam.
"Huh?"
Gambier Bay's last memory of that night would be the sight of the two smaller ships jumping on top of her.
