"Wow we're just in the nick of time" Lydia said. The other agreed very quickly

The witches fell tired and reattach themselves to the aces' planes. Erich was about say something when he heard snoring. He looked at Gerhard then at Wolf. He then tried to see if the others aces were asleep.

"No snoring on the radio is different, so that means..." Erich said before looking up. There he saw Erica snoring slightly while her hand was wrapped around the antenna.

"Oh my, she is cute like this" Erich thought. Soon the other witches began to doze off Mio included and the aces slowed their speed so the witches don't fall off.

40 minutes later, the aces were in sight of the base. It was late in the afternoon, and the calm blue sea had transformed into a sparkling sea of golden. It gave the base a more magical and majestic appearance.

"This Erich Hartmann to Katherine, are you there?" Erich radioed. Katherine didn't go on the bomber mission as she had a lot of paper work to do and she had a meeting General Eisenhower that evening so she didn't want to be late or accidentally dozing off in the meeting later.

"Oh sorry, I am just making some coffee" Katherine replied. Then Erich heard the sound of someone taking a sip out of a drink.

"That must some good coffee if you are taking a sip now" Eino joked. The aces chuckle or in Lydia's case giggled slightly, they tried to now wake their sleeping passengers. Katherine could be heard giggling as well.

"So what can I do for you?" Katherine asked with some giggles in her tone.

"Um, nothing much really except for permission to land and we would be happy" Franco replied tiredly.

"Looks like some is sleepy *yawn* me too" Chuck yawned as he lazily looked around.

"Alright, permission granted... Oh I have found some extra rooms that I found in the base" Katherine radioed.

"Ah a soft bed, now that something looking forward to" Eino smiled.

"And I was thinking we were going to have to see in our planes" Lydia sighed.

"Oh I hoped not, it very uncomfortable in these cockpits" Wolf said.

"We might fight for honour, but I would like a bed over a cramped smelly dirty and not to mention cold cockpit any time" Muto said.

"Amen to that!" Sakai cheered.

"Alright, I will be landing first, is that alright?" Pierre asked.

"Oh okay, Pierre" Arthur said.

"Wait, I just noticed Pierre, why was it that you were so quiet during the whole mission?" Franco asked.

"I accidently turned my radio my radio to some random frequency but the frequency was a French station... I mean Gallian station so I just listen to it" Pierre explained.

"Oh that is alright, at least you able to pay attention to the mission" Erich said.

"Bu next time, please to try not to fiddle with your radio" Gerhard said.

"Alright I will try not to" Pierre chuckled.

Soon the runway came into view and beginning with Pierre, the aces slowly landed one by one. The last plane to kiss the tarmac was Erich Hartmann's Bf 109. He wanted to ensure that the rest of planes landed safely. Only now did the witches wake up because of the engines of the plane dying down. Well mainly it was Gerhard's loud engine whining down that woke them up. When the witches got off they saw the planes were neatly parked outside the hanger on either side of the runway. Well Gerhard's jet was inside the hanger to the right side. They saw the aces were just sitting around ledge near the Striker Storage Units. There was Katherine chatting to Erich and Lydia.

"Wait when did we get on the ground?" Eila asked.

"Oh you fell asleep on the return flight" Eino answered.

"Did you do anything lewd?" Perrine asked without realising she had just jumped the gun. The aces looked at her with perplexed faces. Pierre did a face palm and Franco was stifling his laughter.

"Um, Perrine-san how could the pilots do anything when they busy flying their planes and why would they do it to their sisters?" Yoshika asked. Perrine was about rebut but quickly realized the truth in Yoshika's question and the colour of her face soon could put the Red Square to shame.

"I am sorry for my question just now...I don't know what got over me" Perrine apologized.

"It is alright little sis besides I am sure you are just worried for the safety of his friends" Pierre said. Perrine blushed slightly and looked at her twin brother who was smiling. Just then you could hear someone snoring. Everyone turned to the source to find that it was not one but two sleeping men who had leaned into each other. Chuck and Muto were sound asleep and they were snoring lightly.

"Oh looks like somebody is tired" Shirley smiled.

"Well anyone would be after a mission like that" Mio said.

"Like you were on the wing of my plane?" Sakai slyly smirked. Mio immediately blushed that it outdid the Fusoan Red Sun.

"I am going to my room" a flustered Mio declared as she walked off. The witches were surprised to see Mio flustered and or anyone succeed in making her blush.

"Wow, that was a first" Gertrude said as she watched the major walked to her room.

"Well *yawn* so Katherine where those rooms you said you found, because I might fall asleep like those two" Gerhard said pointing to Chuck and Muto.

"Arthur, why are you just standing there?" Erich asked as he noticed Arthur was standing in front of the two sleeping men.

"Oh it is just that earlier of whatever timeline they were from, they were on opposite fronts, opposite sides fighting each other and now are sleeping soundly side by side as if nothing happened.

"I understand what you mean" Sakai said. He stood next to Arthur.

"In one sense, I think this universe is very lucky to have the neuroi" Franco uttered.

"What did you just say?!" Eila shouted as she grabbed Franco by the shoulder. Franco turned to face her. His face was calm with was weird to Eila.

"Eila, don't get angry at Franco! Think first before you act!" Eino barked surprising the witches with his sudden outburst. Eila quickly quiet down after her brother's order.

"Think for a second first comrade on what Franco said then act" Lydia said. Sanya who was standing next to Lydia had pleading eyes indicating Eila to step down. Eila began to think for a second on what Franco said. It then hit her. In the aces' world, there was war but it was man against man. These pilots were not engaging aliens instead they were facing planes that had pilots in them. Eila remembered that her "brother" was from Finland and it was against the Soviet Union. Lydia was from the USSR and since Lydia is that world's version of Sanya that would mean if the neuroi didn't came, there was a possibility that Eila and Sanya would meet on the battlefield but on opposing sides.

"I am sorry" Eila whispered as she backed away from Franco.

"It is alright Eila, I should have remembered that the Neuroi had devastated this world" Franco replied.

"Alright let me show you those rooms, now someone has to wake them ...oh never mind" Katherine said while gesturing to Chuck and Muto who had woken up to Eino's outburst.

Soon the Orussian Witch led the aces to the rooms but first she stopped at Sanya's room. The witches excluding Mio had decided to follow the aces so they would know where aces' room were.

"Excuse me, Katherine but isn't this Sanya's room?" Lynette shyly asked.

"Yes I know it is, so guess why we are here" Katherine asked. The aces and witches began to think. Suddenly Yoshika lifted her head with achievement written on her face.

"Oh I know why we stopped here!" Yoshika said while clapping her hands together.

"What is the reason?" Lydia asked as she was clueless.

"It is you" Yoshika pointed out. Everyone was surprised at the revelation. Sanya and Erica immediately understood what Yoshika meant. The rest were not so quick in catching what Yoshika was talking about.

"Huh? What does she have to do with Sanya's room?" Gertrude asked as she couldn't see the connection.

"Easy, she is Lydia Litvyak, the pilots' world version of Sanya Litvyak, which means they are sisters or twins if you want to call them that, so Lydia would be sleeping with Sanya since they are related or not the same in a sense and Minna would not really have a problem since Lydia is a woman so she doesn't need worry about any breaching of her rules especially that one" Yoshika said. The aces' marvelled at her ability to quickly understand what was going on. The witches were also surprised at Yoshika as this wasn't how she would normally be able to do. She only began have this ability only after the aces' arrived.

"It is as if the appearance of the aces had something to do with this but what?" Minna said.

"That is absolutely correct" Katherine stated surprised as she too didn't expect Yoshika to guess it correctly.

"So Lydia, you will sleep with Sanya is that alright?" Katherine asked. She could see Eila flared up with jealousy

"Um, I am alright with if Sanya is okay with it" Lydia said.

"I am okay with it" Sanya said. Eila looked at her with begging eyes.

"It's okay Eila, it's just my sister" Sanya whispered. Eila blushed slightly but quickly brushed it off.

"Alright, now for the rest of you" Katherine said as they continued. Lydia decided to go to bed and to her surprise there was another bed in the room in stead of just one which she had expected.

"Yay, comfy bed here I come!" Lydia said as she dropped herself on the empty bed immediately sleeping like a bear.

Back with the group, they soon got the West wing of the base.

"Alright here are the 5 extra rooms" Katherine said as she walked down the corridor.

"Hm, two beds per rooms that is alright for me" Chuck stated.

"Now for sleeping arrangements" Katherine said. The aces thought about it.

"I'll sleep with Sakai since we did fly together once" Muto said. Sakai was nodding. They then proceeded to go to one of rooms. The witches decided to go to do their own thing well except for Katherine who wanted to check who slept in which room and Yoshika as she had nothing to do actually.

"I think I will sleep with Wolf here" Gerhard said. They then walked off to another room.

"I'll sleep with Franco, is that alright Franco?" Chuck asked.

"I am okay with it" Franco said.

"Great, now let's sleep" Chuck said as they walked to an empty room.

"Alright can I be roommates with you, Arthur?" Pierre inquired.

"Um, sure" Arthur stated. The two went into the second last empty room.

"Looks like we don't have a choice huh?" Eino smiled.

"It seems so doesn't it" Erich said. They walked into the last remaining room with Eino leading. However Erich stopped and turned to face Katherine. Katherine was surprised at Erich's actions.

"I have a few questions to ask you" Erich asked.

"What are they, Erich?" Katherine asked.

"Firstly, when are mealtimes?" Erich asked.

"Oh, breakfast is at 8 am, lunch at 2 pm and dinner is 7 pm which is 3 hours" Katherine explained.

"Thank you, at least I can wake up the rest at 7 pm later" Erich thanked.

"Now for your second question" Katherine said.

"Oh yes, where can we take a bath?" Erich asked.

"Oh there is only one bath here so we need to do something about it..." Katherine said.

"We can have a sign made which says either the male or female witches are using the bath" Yoshika suggested.

"Wow that is an excellent idea, Yoshika" Katherine praised.

"I can get to it right away if you want" Yoshika smiled.

"The sooner, the better my little Yoshika" Erich smiled.

"Alright it would be done as soon as possible" Yoshika said as she ran off to start work on the sign.

"Is she always that ingenious?" Erich asked.

"No, not really, this is the first time I seen her being so adaptive and ingenious" Katherine said.

"Well my last question is can we acquire some uniforms seeing that we will be here for quite some time and I don't think the guys will like wearing the same dirty clothes for extended amount of time" Erich said.

"I think I can find some threads for you when I go to London later" Katherine said.

"Alright thank you, Katherine" Erich said.

"So what are you going to do now?" Katherine asked.

"I think I will just take a walk around the base" Erich said.

"Alright see you later, my ride will be arriving soon and I need to change to my formal uniform" Katherine said as she walked to her room.

"Alright, see you soon, Katherine" Erich smiled as he began to wander around the base.

Erich began to walk around the base. He was amazed at how majestic the base looked. He looked towards the calm sea. He then saw the Gallian coast in the distant. He then stumbled into the common room. It was a relatively nice room with some sofas and chairs. There were a few cupboards in there as well; some had books while others had other items. There was a shiny black grand piano in the room. It also had a nice view of the landscape outside.

"I should keep a mental note of this place" Erich said to himself as he left the room. He then found the briefing room. It remaindered him of a university lecture hall with its desks curving around the blackboard which was a few steps below. There was a podium there as well.

"So this is where the mission briefing take place" Erich muttered as he walked out of the room. He left the room as he turns around to walk away from the room, he bumps into Mio. Mio must have been running because when they hit, both fell down.

"Oh I am sorry, Mio" Erich stated as he began to stand up again. He saw Mio was still dazed on the floor so he decided to help her up.

"Here lend me your hand" Erich extended his hand to Mio.

"How nice of you" Mio said as she grabbed Erich's hand and she pulled herself up.

"How can I call myself a gentleman up if I ignore someone in trouble" Erich smiled.

"*Mio's trademark laugh* so where are you going?" Mio laughed as she brushed herself.

"Just walking around to see the base" Erich replied.

"So is the base to your eyes?" Mio asked.

"It is very grand until you almost forget that this is an airbase" Erich said as he looked around.

"Well I will see you later, I need to find Yoshika, she is missing her training today and she didn't tell me why" Mio began to ponder.

"Oh I think she is busy painting a sign for the bath" Erich answered.

"Eh? Why would she be doing that?" Mio asked.

"Because do you want our pilots to be smelly, no offence, Erich" Yoshika said as she carried a big board.

"None taken, Yoshika" Erich said.

"Oh there you are, Yoshika, I was wondering where you were, you're missing your training" Mio said.

"Oh sorry, Sakamoto-san, I was busy with this little project" Yoshika tapped the board she was carrying.

"Can we see it?" Mio asked.

"Sure, I was on my way to hang it on near the entrance anyway so you will see it sooner or later" Yoshika said as she turned the sign to Erich and Mio.

They were surprised at how the sign looked it looked artistic and functional at the same time. It had a slider and on the exposed side had a message. Erich found the sign eye catching which he thought was important for signs if they want to catch people's attention especially these kinds of signs. Mio on the other hand, was absolutely stunned that Yoshika had a hand for craftsmanship. She was now wondering if Yoshika was hiding her talents from the units this entire time

"Hm, wizard(s) are in the baths, witches not allowed, I am guessing the wizards are us male witches" Erich read the message on exposed side.

"Yeah, since I thought the term male witches will get annoying to say so I decided to use the word wizard instead" Yoshika smiled.

"Wow, I didn't really expect this, really I did not" Mio said as she caught her breath.

"Well I better be on my way" Yoshika said as she began to walk off to the bath but she stopped and turned around.

"Say, do you have the time? It's my turn to cook dinner and I want to be early so I can prepare the meal" Yoshika asked.

"Oh, it is six...6: 39 pm, looks like I have to wake up the others for dinner" Erich said as he began to walk back to his room while Yoshika began to walk to the bath.

"Thanks!" Yoshika said as she began to run to the bath. Mio watched the two go their separate paths. She was still thinking about her protégé.

"This is new, she never was like this before, I wonder if has to do with the arrival of our pilot brothers" Mio pondered as she walked towards the runway to swing her sword.

Meanwhile, Erich began his run of waking up the aces and although the Litvyaks' room was the nearest, he walked past that room as he thought he would wake Lydia last as she was closer to the mess hall than the rest. Soon Erich reached the corridor where his room was and began to wake up the other pilots. First up was Sakai and Muto. Erich knocked on the door loudly to wake them up. He could hear someone waking up.

"Just a minute!" a voice said. Erich could distinguish whose voice so he decided to ask.

"Who is that?" Erich asked.

"Sakai, Saburo Sakai" Sakai answered. Then Sakai opened the door. Erich could see that Sakai was wearing a white T-shirt and some brown shorts.

"Yes Erich, what can I do for you?" Sakai asked as he fixed his cap.

"I was just going around waking guys up for dinner" Erich answered.

"Oh, are we the last to wake up?" Sakai asked

"No, no, you the first actually that I have woken up, so is Muto awake?" Erich said.

"He is awake in fact he was awake a few minutes ago" Sakai replied.

"Why didn't he answer the door?" Erich asked.

"He was busy writing in his journal" Sakai said he opened the door wider to show Muto just about to get up from the chair.

"Well I finished my entry for the day" Muto said as he walked up to Erich and Sakai.

"So what was the wake up call for?" Muto asked.

"It almost 7 pm which means dinner is soon and Yoshika is cooking" Erich answered.

"Now that you mention it, I am starving" Muto smiled.

"So am I, Muto, so am I" Sakai added.

"You two go ahead while I wake up the rest" Erich said.

"Alright, see you in the dining hall" Sakai said as the two Japanese aces began their search for the mess hall.

So Erich went on to wake up the rest without incident until he got to Gerhard and Wolf's room. Erich was knocking on the door. However no one responded so Erich continued to knock the door. He watched Chuck and Arthur chatting about something which Pierre and Franco joined in. Erich began to look at the base's features with more detail.

"This base looks like it was a converted from an old fort, seeing that the age on the walls and ceiling" Erich uttered as he continued to ponder until his fist felt something soft and a groan was heard

Meanwhile Gertrude was reading a book she found in the common room. Erica just walked into the common room.

"So Trudy, what are you reading?" Erica asked as she walked up to Gertrude.

"Something about geography" Gertrude answered without lifting her face from the book. Erica decided to read as well as she had a sudden urge to read. Her hand drifted to a story book but she wanted to read something heavy. She found a book on tanks which was a bit surprising seeing that it was in an airbase.

"Well let's see what panzers we have on the battlefield" Erica said as she sat a chair on the opposite end of the room from where Gertrude was sitting (Remember this detail). She quickly became engrossed into the book. She was amazed at the powerful aura of the Pzkpfw VI or better known as the Tiger, the simplicity of the T-34 and the modest M4 Sherman. Suddenly Erica hears Gertrude grunts in pain. Erica looks up from her book and sees Gertrude holding her face. She immediately went to Gertrude's side to see if what is wrong.

"Trudy, are you alright?" Erica asked.

"Argh, my face hurts, it feels like someone knocked me in the face" Gertrude groaned.

"That's odd; there is no one here except for you and me" Erica said.

"No it can be you" Gertrude said.

"Well it can't possibly be me as I was on the other side of the room and I could not have thrown anything at you

Back with our aces, Erich had knocked Gerhard's face as he was pondering about the base. Erich quickly turned to see Gerhard was holding his face.

"Mein Gott, oh I am sorry, Gerd, I should have look at the door" Erich apologized.

"Argh, you should have, shouldn't you!" Gerhard barked.

"Sorry, I was to busy thinking where I have see this place before that I didn't noticed you opening the door" Erich explained.

"Ah, it's alright, it's not like you hit me that hard anyway so what the wake up knock is for" Gerhard said still rubbing his nose.

"It's nearly dinner time so I decided to wake you guys up" Erich answered.

"Oh, thanks Bubi, I am feeling hungry now that you mentioned dinner" Wolf said as he walked up to the door. He looked as if he was trying to hold in some laughter.

"You two go ahead, I have to wake up... oh nice of you join us Eino" Erich said. The other two German aces stretched out to see the Finnish ace.

"Oh evening guys so what this talk about dinner?" Eino asked.

"Oh let's go already" Gerhard said.

"Oh wait, we need to stop at Sanya's room to wake up Lydia" Erich said.

"Alright let's go then" Wolf said eager to fill his stomach with some food.

The four aces walked down the corridor towards Litvyaks' room. Just as the turned into the corridor where the Russian ace's room was on, they saw her just walking out the room. They stunned at what they find.

"Oh that was one of the best naps I have ever had since I was a young one" Lydia stretched herself. She noticed the four aces standing there with their faces redder than the Soviet Union's flag. She was wondering what they blushing about.

"What's wrong with the four you, comrades?" Lydia asked.

"Um..." Erich was trying to avert his eyes away from Lydia.

"Try looking down" Eino uttered as he tried not look anywhere but Lydia's face.

Wolf had his eyes covered with his peaked cap but his face was still red.

Gerhard was motioning with his hands around his chest. Lydia was wondering what he meant, then it struck her to look down. She looked down to see that she had nothing covering her chest. Lydia at first didn't think about it that much, she would sometimes come out of the shower and the other girls will tease her about how underdeveloped her breasts were (size: C-cup, he, he, he, he, he, I am very naughty comrade)...

"Wait, girls... Oh Shit, I have nothing on me! No wonder these guys were blushing brighter that the red star on my Yak-9" Lydia thought as her face too was as red as the red star on her plane. She immediately grabbed her chest to try and cover it.

"Uh, can you please excuse me for a second" Lydia said as she dashed into her room. The four other aces looked among themselves. They quickly shook any lewd thoughts in their mind since some of them were married and the others had morals he lives by.

"I think she was in an all girls unit or maybe stayed in a barrack with only women" Erich concluded.

"That would explain it" Eino said.

Soon Lydia came out of the room with a shirt on. Her face was still red from the embarrassing moment earlier. They could all see her feminine figure and it surprised the guys that she had a relatively good body and that they only notice it now.

"So her figure was hidden under her flight suit" Eino thought.

"So why were you guys walking down this corridor?" Lydia stuttered her face still bright red.

"We were actually on our way to wake up you up for dinner and that happened" Gerhard said.

"Oh I am feeling peckish" Lydia said.

"Alright let's go already, I am starving" Eino said.
