It had been about 2 weeks since the battle at Ragna. Unsurprisingly, the people of Ragna quickly adjusted to the new peace. However, there were many unanswered questions about the future. There were many on the minds of the people and the members of Chaos, none larger than the question of what should be done about a certain violet-haired singer who just happened to have the ability to control the minds of an entire sector of the universe with her songs… For now, the members of Walkure and Delta Platoon were just focusing on trying to get on with their somewhat normal lives again. Especially a certain dancing pilot and a Windermerean singer...

Macross Elysion

Kaname, Walkure's manager, is walking along the captain of Delta Platoon, Captain Arad, discussing how to get Chaos back on its feet, especially after the significant damage the Elysion sustained in the battle of Ragna.

"So, how many concerts do you think Walkure can perform to meet that 20th percentile, Captain?"

"I don't know, but I'd rather you guys not push yourselves too hard, I'm pretty sure everyone needs a little more than a couple months to recover from all that chaos." (He said, without irony)

"I know, but NUNS is unpredictable, especially after all the top brass knows what Mikumo can do. We might not have the time to relax to our hearts' desires."

"I see where you're coming from, but I don't know if our fledglings will be willing to push themselves that hard again so soon…"

"After all that's happened, can you really call them 'fledglings'?"

Arad sighs, as he takes out a piece of the jellycatfish that he always chews on. "I guess not, but as skilled as they both are, they're not the same as us - they need R&R a little more than we do, but that's to be expected"

Kaname smirks as she notes, "Especially with the recent "development" in their relationship, I would imagine."

"Heh, you don't have to remind me of that," Arad chuckles softly as thinks back to the situation he and the other two members of Delta Platoon found themselves in when they realized that the newest member of Walkure and Delta Platoon didn't have any intention of coming down after the battle on Ragna…

*Flashback*

"Hey, Hayate, how long do you and Freyja intend to fly around?!" Mirage yells through the comm in her Siegfried.

Hayate obviously wasn't listening, or rather he couldn't. Not with Freyja singing softly to him as she sat in his lap as he was flying through the sky. Freyja, on the other hand, couldn't care less about the rest of the world right now, all she cared about was singing and Hayate, whom she decided she would romantically pursue as best as she could. Even as she was slightly embarrassed on the inside about her position on Hayate's lap, she was happy. During their brief mental imprisonment two weeks ago, she was sure she felt Hayate bore some sort of romantic feeling towards her, and as long as that existed, she would act on it. She kept that in mind as her rune glowed a soft pink during her private concert for Hayate.

Below them on the beach, Mirage and Arad were getting a little annoyed. Well, Mirage was getting really annoyed, as she conceded Hayate to Freyja during the battle of Ragna, and she felt like Freyja was rubbing it in, literally hopping into Hayate's cockpit during the heat of battle, and now she was giving him a private concert IN HIS COCKPIT, of all places?! Off to the side, Arad couldn't help but laugh at the situation he found himself in.

"Captain Arad, what's so funny?" Mirage growled softly at her superior.

Arad, in response, simply holds his hands up in surrender, and states, as matter-of-factly as he could, "Let the jellyfish swim as they please, and they'll come to you on their own."

Mirage raised a skeptical eyebrow to her commander's metaphor, not because she didn't understand, but because she didn't know how anyone could compare Hayate and Freyja to a pair of jellyfish, but simply sighed as she climbed back into the back of the cockpit of her Siegfried to chase down the two.

She was stopped by Makina and Reina, both of whom had noticeably devious grins on their faces.

"Wait a minute, Mira-Mira, I think we have an idea on how to get those two down."

"That's right, and I'm certain it'll work."

"What exactly do you two plan on doing?"

The two simply smiled and winked at her, saying simultaneously, "Just trust us."

Mirage sighed and asked, "What do you need from me?"

"We only need to borrow your comm and a holo screen."

"Why do you need a holo screen?"

"So we can see their reactions, of course!"

Mirage reluctantly handed over the requested items, while the remaining members of Walkure and Delta Platoon looked on with mixed curiosity.

Reina connected the screen to the data pad and keyboard that she seemingly always had with the comm.

After a minute or so of tinkering, the screen displayed a front of view of Hayate's cockpit, or what it would've looked had Freyja not been sitting with her back faced in front of the cockpit camera, much to everyone's surprise. Hayate's arms and legs were visible, and a bit of his face was visible from the camera, probably to fly straight. Which meant he could see his screen. Which meant that whatever Reina put on his screen would be visible to him and not Freyja.

"Fre-Fre, could you and Haya-Haya come back down here, we kinda need you two?"

As expected, they didn't respond, so Reina spoke on the comm. "Freyja, we still have that photo of when you fell on the beach and your bottom came off when Hayate wasn't around."

Freyja immediately stopped singing as she visibly jolted in Hayate's lap, causing one of his legs to pull on the pedals, sending his fighter into a brief spin.

After Hayate regained control of his fighter, he lightly scolds Freyja, saying,"H-hey, Freyja, they're just messing with you, calm down"

"Are you sure about that, Hayate?" Reina smirks as she loads an image onto his cockpit's screen.

Hayate glances at the sudden change from his instruments to a picture of Freyja in a strange position with her rear in the air, and her bikini bottom is slightly lower than it should have been, revealing more of Freyja than he'd ever seen.

"H-HUHHHHH?!" Hayate exclaims as his cheeks flush, causing Freyja to turn around and look at what could possibly have made Hayate, of all people, blush and act the way he did, only to blush in absolute horror at the embarrassing picture she thought she had Reina delete.

"UWAAAAHHHHH! WHY DOES THIS PICTURE STILL EXIST?!" Freyja screams as she grabs Hayate's head and pulls it to her chest, to ensure he doesn't look at the image longer than he already did, her rune changing from a low, pinkish hue to a bright pink, easily visible in the cockpit camera. As a result, Hayate temporarily let go of his flight controls to free his head from Freyja's grasp, causing his fighter to pitch suddenly.

Back on the beach, all the members of Walkure and Delta Platoon burst out laughing, save for Mikumo and Mirage, who briefly glanced at each other, and sighed in resignation.

*End Flashback*

"Speaking of which, where are those two right now?" Arad asks as he remembers that Delta Platoon was supposed to perform an air show at Walkure's concert tonight.

"Oh, Hayate and Freyja are sitting on the top deck of the Aether right now."

"Well, give them a little time alone, I think we harassed them enough, for now atleast."

"Considering the fact that things definitely aren't gonna get any less hectic from now on, I agree."
