Authors Notes: Time to begin something new. Now I have no idea what this is going to be about so just buckle up and see what my brain can come up with. After some long pondering with large amounts of caffeine, I have thought of something. It may be stupid.

Part 1

Somewhere in the Sea of Japan

Oarai's Girls Academy School Ship

Miho was up and sitting at her desk, reading some books and drinking some warm tea. Engrossed in her read, she didn't notice that the food she was making started to burn in the microwave.

*BEEP* *BEEP *BEEP*

She threw her book down and knocked over her chair as she stumbled quickly into her kitchen. She opened the microwave door and was greeted with a wall of smoke. She put the plate in the sink which made a sizzling sound as it made contact with the water. Miho sighed at the close call when she heard a knock at the door. She peered into the peep hole and opened the door.

"Erica?" She said as she opened the door.

"Hey Miho. *sniff* you burn something?" Miho scratched the back of her head and said that she did indeed burn something. Hartmann could only laugh. Suddenly another voice came booming from the street and echoed into the room.

"HARTMANN! HURRY UP!" The voice said.

"Ugh… she's never patient, anyway, you ready to go?" Hartmann said while leaning against the door frame. Miho nodded and grabbed her bag and the two headed down the stairs to meet the person that had shouted. As they reached the bottom of the stairs, the individual in was holding a phone to her ear and talking. She turned around and began moving her arms in that "What took you so long" fashion. Hartmann snickered and Miho waited for the girl to hang up the phone. When she did, Hartmann approached her.

"You ready to go Trude?" Hartmann asked.

"Why are you telling me that, you're the one that's late." Barkhorn responded, she looked visibly annoyed now. She scoffed and turned to Miho.

"Sorry about that Miho, anyway, they're waiting for us." Miho just smiled and the three began walking down the street, passing the rows of houses and convenience stores. They passed the school and headed to the area of the tank sheds. Miho could see that the vehicles were outside, meaning that they were preparing to go somewhere.

"Look! They're over there!" Hartmann pointed out. She grabbed Barkhorn's arm and pulled her through the gates. Anzu was on the top of the Hetzer, eating a strip of dried potato. She waved at the two girls running at her, she did the same to Miho who was not far behind. Anzu jumped onto the ground and Miho was in front of her.

"Nishzumi… how are we?" She asked.

"I'm fine, so everyone's here?"

"Yup, ready for a day on the town?" Miho nodded and she turned to everyone.

"ALRIGHT! WE'LL BE DISEMBARKING SOON SO LET'S GET MOVING!" Anzu announced. The girls all acknowledged the order and started to man their tanks. Miho got into the Panzer IV and was greeted by her team while Barkhorn and Hartmann sat on the outside. The tanks began to move out and head down the street, cars began amassing at the gangplank. People were looking in their rearview mirrors to see the tanks behind them. Miho was unbuttoned and enjoying the cool air when she heard someone yelling. She turned behind her to see nine girls running towards her. Hartmann perked up and looked in Miho's direction.

"HEY LOOK ITS MINNA AND THE REST!" Hartmann said excitedly. Miho could recognized the distinct hairstyles of each of the nine. They were all waving their arms in the air, as if trying to get the tanks to stop when they weren't even moving. Minna hopped on to the back of the Panzer IV and stood on the engine deck. The rest of the girls choose a random tank and mounted it.

"Hello there Miho." Minna greeted.

"Oh, hello there." Miho replied. Traffic began to move and cut the conversation short.

"We'll talk later." Minna grabbed on to the turret handles as the tank began to move. The tanks deviated down their own path that could support heavily armored vehicles and headed down to the town. Oarai was a quaint little town, little shops and street vendors lined the four lane road that led down the middle. They past the Marine tower that was overlooking the entire town, Minna and rest were impressed with the sight as the tank's changed course once more into a lot. Sanya who was sleeping was jolted awake by the screeching brakes of the Type 3 Chi-Nu she was riding on.

"Eh… where are we?" Sanya said while rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Elia, who was next to her leaned in close and helped her friend.

"We're here, somewhere, I don't live here." Elia said. She helped her friend down and joined with the rest. Anzu turned around excitedly, still eating her dried potatoes'.

"WE'RE HERE! THIS IS THE SHOPPING OUTLET SO GO AROUND AND HAVE A GOOD TIME!" She said. The girls of Oarai all jumped up in the air with their first raised. The eleven witches just stood back and watched, confused at what can be so exciting about shopping. They just followed the group as they went into the outlet, somewhat eagerly. The Oarai Outlet was the a prime area to shop, being that it was the only main shopping attraction in the entire town, everything from clothes, electronics, toy, games, and even tank parts could be found here. The witches were in awe at the massive selection, they have never seen such a place. Saori was running in and out of store with Hana being alongside her, every time, her hand could be seen holding more and more bags.

"Is she ever going to stop?" Mako said. Miho just laughed nervously, it was sad but true. Miho glanced over at the eleven witches who just standing in the center, looking around sheepishly.

"I pretty sure they don't know what to do." Miho noted. Yukari stood beside her.

"Let's show them around Nishizumi-Dono!" Yukari said with her fist raised. The two approached and Minna advanced forwards.

"See anything you like?" Miho asked. Minna just put her hand to her face.

"There are so many stores, it's a wonder where to begin." Minna turned around and saw that Shirley and Lucchini were gone.

"Where did they go?" Minna asked. Suddenly, loud laughing was beginning to echo around them. It was Saori again, her hands filled with bags of god knows what but behind her was Shirley with Lucchini on her back, she too had multiple bags and the four were running into stores.

"They seem to know what's up." Mio said. Minna just laughed at the sight and turned her attention to Miho once more.

"I guess we'll take a look around then." Miho smiled and walked away with Yukari behind her. The group split up; Trude, Hartmann, and Minna went into a clothing outlet, Mio, Yoshika, Lynnette and Perrine decided to look around the general outlet which had a mix of everything, and Elia and Sanya were already looking around in the pet store.

Clothing Outlet

"HEY HEY TRUDE! DOES THIS LOOK GOOD?!" Hartmann asked while showing off her new denim shorts.

"I guess they look okay, I'm not the one to judge, what do you think Minna?"

"I think they look cute." Minna responded. Hartmann giggled and went back into the changing room and came out with said item of clothing.

"Are you guys going to buy anything?" Hartmann asked carrying the bag in her hands. Her two friends just laughed nervously.

"Um… we sorta did." Minna said. Hartmann looked behind Minna and saw the multitude of bags just lying on the ground.

Pet Store

The sounds of barking, chittering, and meowing was overwhelming. Sanya was looking at a black cat that was sitting on its back playing with a ball of yarn. Her eyes were fixated on it until Elia's voice disturbed her concentration.

"Yeah… I can't seem to find a white fox, Black Panther, and a wolf, turns out they don't have those animals eh… Sanya you okay?" Elia noticed her partners' eyes still glue to the black cat. She just sighed and turned to the clerk and handed him a stack of large denomination bills. The clerk moved from behind the counter and headed to the glass cage that Sanya was still glued to. The clerk picked up the said black cat and handed over to Sanya. Her eyes were still fixated on the cat as she held out her arms as the clerk put the feline in her arms. The cat just looked at her. Soon after, Sanya's manifested her cat ears and tails and held the cat to her face. It just licked her face and she laughed with joy. Elia could only watch and proceed to gradually move her partner out of the store, thanking the clerk on their way out.

Parking lot

Later that evening

The Oarai girls were just sitting around on their tanks, some with bags and little trinkets from the various stores. Anzu was on top of the Hetzer when she saw eleven figures appear from the exit. They were all carrying bags and one of them was carrying an animal cage.

"I'm pretty sure they got what they came for." Anzu thought to herself. Miho was awed at the sight of so many bags. Minna approached her.

"Um… where are we supposed to put these?" Minna asked sheepishly. Yukari popped from her hatch and proposed to put them in the ammo storage bin. After the bags were put away the tanks started up and headed back down the road again. The sunset was just over the horizon just like a picturesque photo. The tanks stopped at the water side and the girls dismounted and looked towards the sunset. Many of them just wowed at the beautiful sight but some of them just admired it silently. Miho watches as the sky turns a darker orange and sighed, then Anzu's voice got her attention.

"Looks great Nishizumi but I highly suggest we get back to the ship, classes start again tomorrow." Miho nodded and look back at the eleven witches and gave them the "You better get ready" look. The witches nodded in return and they remounted the vehicles and drove off towards the pier. The sun set behind the imposing figure of the school ship as the vehicles drove up the gang plank and disappeared into the belly of the ship.

Authors Note: So, if you were reading that and were wondering "WTF IS HAPPENING?" Here is what I can surmise for a story I just made up. This is an AU that tanks place in the Girls Und Panzer universe so basically the real world. The witches were already here, I have no idea where they came from so just assume they were born in this realm and just happened to have magic abilities. (Don't question it, embrace it) This is going to be more of a slice of life, living from day to day life where the witches and the girls will be attending school and other such things so tell me something. Should I continue this, if you do or do not, please leave a comment and don't forget, review and critique because it's always appreciated!
