Background:
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, there are three aircraft carriers going around the ocean to protect Liberion regions from possible Neurois. The three aircraft carriers became known as the bases of The 508th Joint Fighter Wing - Mighty Witches:
In the Liberion's USS Enterprise, there's the JFW's commander, Lieutenant Colonel Jane S. Thach, whom primarily works with paper works due to her age. There's Captain Cecilia E. Harris, whose dream is to be a teacher after the war. There's Lieutenant Dorothy Baker, whom just recovered from her injuries a few months ago. And there's Ensign Sadae Komura from Fuso who was assigned to Enterprise due to personnel balancing issues, but she fit in just fine because of her personality and tall physique.
In the Britainnia's HMS Victorious, there's Captain Delia M. Jeram, whom is usually a very polite person. And there's Lieutenant Jamie E. Swett from Liberion, who was assigned to Victorious also due to personnel balancing and a way to give her an environmental change.
In the Fuso's Shoukaku, there's the combat commander, Major Mie Shindou, whom has been a great veteran since the beginning of the war. There's Captain Takami Karibuchi whom is always a positive sweetheart and a confident fighter. And there's Ensign Shouko Matsuda, who is a promising but reckless fighter.
Operation Majestic
Today is Sadae's birthday, so the squad is planning on a big birthday party for her in secret. The one in charge of the party planning is no other than her girlfriend, Cecilia. Although keeping it a secret from her is hard for Cecilia because they don't really hide secrets from each other; but it's even harder when the other comrades are somewhere around the ocean, which means that Cecilia had to plan way ahead to let the other teammates from the other carriers know beforehand.
In the morning, the 508th members in USS Enterprise got up for some breakfast at the mess deck with the ship's crew as usual. They sat at the witches designated table, which is just a regular table that only witches sit in the mess hall. Cecilia sat with Sadae while Jane and Dorothy sat together on the other side. After they finished breakfast and just chatting for a bit, Sadae asked the table, "You know what day is today?"
Jane answered, "The first crossword puzzle book published."
Sadae said, "No!"
Dorothy answered, "21st anniversary of the Yankee Stadium."
Sadae said again, "No!"
Cecilia answered, "The Battle of Cerro Gordo, which the U.S. won the battle against the Masticans."
Sadae said while pouting, "No!"
Jane interrupted her and said, "I don't know what's special about today for you, but I'd like you to help me run an errand to South Sea Island, I forgot to get something while we were there three days ago. I'll give you the money afterwards and I wrote down the things on a paper this time, just look into it when you get there." She reached into her pocket and hand Sadae the paper.
Sadae said, "Only me going?"
Jane said, "It's not a big errand, so one person is good enough. Now would be a good time to go, but give us a call when you're on your way back so we can give you the position of the ship."
Sadae simply nodded and went to the flight deck, Cecilia went along with her and gave her a backpack for her to carry the stuff later. At the Striker Unit storage, Sadae said to Cecilia, "They never answered my question, do you what day is today?"
Cecilia said while hugging her, "Your birthday, right?"
Sadae smiled and said, "You were messing with me, weren't you?"
Cecilia said, "I was, but I don't know about the other two."
Then Sadae pulled out her Shiden Striker Unit and summoned her familiar as she activated her Striker.
Before she activates the elevator to rise up to the runway, Cecilia kissed Sadae on the lips and then said, "See you in a bit, babe."
Sadae said with another smile, "Well, at least you remembered my birthday. I'm heading out." Then she hit the rise button for the elevator.
Sadae raised up to the runway and shouted as she prepared to take off, "Komura Sadae, taking off!" The ship crew that were on the runway instantly cleared off the runway as she took off.
Five minute later, Cecilia meet up with Jane and Dorothy. Cecilia said, "Operation Majestic is a go." Jane said, "Good, I already called up the others in the other carriers to do a different task. The Victorious group will make the birthday cake and tea while the Shoukaku group will make some special Fusoan desserts, we will be the ones responsible for decorating the mess hall. The amount of time it'll take for her to get there and back itself is at least eight hour, while the town shopping should take another 30 minutes or so assuming she found the places without a problem."
Dorothy cheers, "Decorating!"
Cecilia said to Jane, "Thanks again for letting me in charge of this party, and getting the ship captain to allow us to have a party, Commander."
Jane said, "It's no big deal, the captain claimed that he owed me a lot of favors for protecting the people so he let me use up the whole mess deck just for today while the crew gets their meals sent to their rooms for today. I'll have to give my thanks to the captain and crew sometime later. Luckily we don't get much Neurois here and it's even luckier that today is one of those days we aren't expecting one to show up." Then they started decorating the mess hall.
Meanwhile in the ocean, Sadae flew towards South Sea Island. She thought, "Never though I'd come back to this island so soon... We just got resupplied here a few days ago. Wonder what does Commander Thach wanted so bad that it's necessary to send someone this far out to get it."
Once she got to the island, she landed at the Fuso's military base on the island. She talked to a personnel if she could borrow a vehicle to run a quick errand, then the personnel talked to the base commander. The base commander was kind enough to let her borrow anything she needed to run the errand. So she borrowed a commercial jeep and drove to town with it.
After 15 minutes of driving, she found the first thing Jane was looking for, some Liberion candies that's available in very few stores on the island. Sadae bought a bag of the same candy with her own money and tried the candy as she drove along to the next destination. The candy was a little sweet and fluffy, reminded her of Fuso's mochi(rice cake that has soft, gel like structure), but much easier to chew since its texture isn't as tough as a mochi.
Then another 5 minutes went by, the next thing she found was some Ramune(soda with a marble in it as the seal of the bottle) at a regular shop nearby, Ramune was considered as Fuso's equivalent to cola according to Jane. She bought a few Ramune for herself as well. She drank one of her own along the way.
Another 20 minutes went by, she found the last thing Jane was looking for, some kind of Liberion chocolate drink called Yoo-hoo! in a special shop that has a section that only imports Eastern Liberion goods. She bought the exact amount of Yoo-hoo!s Jane wanted, then bought a bottle of her own to try it out later. Once she finished her errand, she contacted Jane with intercom, "Umm... Hello... Come in, Commander Thach..."
The intercom responded, "This is Thach. Are you on your way back, Sadae?"
Sadae said through intercom, "Well, I got everything. But it'll take me another 30 minutes before I return to the military base to take off."
Jane said through intercom, "Ok, tell me when you are taking off from the base. I'll get you back here when you do."
Sadae said through intercom, "Roger that." She hang up and drove back to the base.
Back at USS Enterprise, everything is set up for the mess hall. While the other two groups already finished their cooking. After Sadae contacted with Jane, Jane quickly contact the other groups to make their way to her ship. The other groups arrived 30 minutes after they were contacted by Jane. Dorothy welcomed them to their ship and helped them put up their Strikers in the Striker storage deck. Then Cecilia guided them to the mess hall and showed where the things should be placed at. As Jane watched the groups landing from the flight control deck, a personnel came in and said, "Ensign Komura is looking for you, commander."
Jane said, "Thank you, now put her up."
The personnel responded, "Yes, ma'am." And left the deck to set up the phone line to the intercom.
She grabbed the phone from the control panel and said on the phone, "This is Thach, so you are preparing to take off from the base I believe?"
Sadae said through the intercom, "Yes, I'm at the airstrip now. So where do I head toward now?"
Jane said on the phone as she looked at the map, "You left straight south when you departured right? So the military base is this direction away from us as we are currently in this position now and the next two or three hours we should be there... Alright, head 27 degrees East of North now and our raiders would pick up your signal when you are within 300 kilometers radius of the ship, that's when I'll be able to guide you back to the ship completely, just don't go faster or slower than 600km/h because that's how fast I calculate your approximate speed to get to our ship."
Sadae screamed, "Ehhhhhhh! That fast?! It took five hour and a half for me to get to the island with 400km/h, my magic'll be all gone by the time I arrived..."
Jane said, "Don't worry, I believe in you kiddo. I'll call when the ship picked up your signal." She hung up, then went down to the mess deck to check on the preparation. The mess hall looked like a child's birthday party with a banner that says: 'Happy Birthday, Sadae!' The table is set up with a birthday cake in the center; while some Fusoan desserts like mochi, coffee jelly, Yokan, and a few other Fusoan desserts were surrounding the cake; then the table has a teacup set for each person. Cecilia checked out everything needed for the party.
After Jane walked in the mess hall, everyone was assembled to a single file. Then Jane said, "Cecilia! Give me the status report."
Cecilia said, "Everything is in position, ma'am."
Jane nodded and said, "You're a great party organizer. But there is one last thing left to do... Delia! Jamie!"
Delia and Jamie each grabbed onto Cecilia's arm, Cecilia was surprised by the sudden grabs, she said, "What's the meaning of this?"
Jane said, "Let's just say we're going to make this party even more surprising... Delia, Jamie, Dorothy, you know what to do with her."
Delia said, "We are going to make this party fabulous right, Jamie?"
Jamie said heartily, "Right you are, honey!"
Delia said politely while resisting her embarrassment, "I told you not to call me that in front of the others."
Jamie said, "Sorry, geez... Anyway, let's get this party started!"
...To be continue...
