What will happen to Cecilia?

Would Sadae make it back to the ship?

What is Jane planning to do?

The answer to those questions will be answered...

Right now:

Delia and Jamie carried the resisting Cecilia away to Dorothy's room while Dorothy follows after them.

Then Jane said to the remaining people, "Now I'll need the rest of you to be on the flight deck to be the guidance when Sadae arrives. Mie, I'll need you especially... for radar purpose..."

Everyone responded, "Yes ma'am!"

Jane and Mie went to the flight control deck while Takami and Shouko went to the flight deck to grab the directing gears to prepare for directing. Jane requested the flight control crew to take a break until further notice so she and Mie would take over. After the crew left for their own rooms, Jane checked on the clock and realized that it's been an hour and a half since she talked to Sadae, so she said to Mie, "Can you use your magic to see if Sadae is around yet?"

Mie said, "My maximum effective range is only 400km at most, and it's only been an hour since she left. So she's nowhere near my range yet either..."

Jane said, "You have a point..."

Then Mie said, "It's interesting that you made someone to run a 2000 km errand just to surprise them later."

Jane said, "It's the only way to buy enough time to set up all this, plus I'll still at least thank her for the trouble if she gets mad about it later. And for the record, the party host is her lover, not me. The only thing I did is basically abused my authorities a little, for other people's love."

Mie said, "You cuckoo bird..." She then kissed Jane on the lips as Jane kissed back and embraced her.

At the flight deck's standby room, Takami and Shouko was waiting inside for the signal. While they looked at the beautiful sunset as the time goes, Shouko said out of impatient, "This is a long standby, I wanna eat now!"

Takami calmly said, "Now now, it's only been three hours since Sadae returning to the ship. Just wait for another hour, it'll go by really fast." Then she smiled at Shouko, which gave Shouko an embarrassing feeling that she simply replied, "Kay..."

Since three hours have passed, Jane asked Mie again, "Can you try your magic now? She should be in your range by now."

Mie said, "Ok, ok." She summoned her familiar and activated her magic, it took her some time, but she was able to detect Sadae, whose been going 600km/h for the past three hours with a full backpack on her back. A minute later, the ship picked up Sadae's signal. Jane quickly got on the phone and used it to contact Sadae's intercom, "Sadae, can you hear me!"

Sadae responded to the intercom, "Yes! Now where should I head to?"

The ship's radar indicated that she's 270km and 30 degrees East of South from the ship, Jane quickly said on the phone, "You'll have to adjust your direction to 56 degrees West of North of your current direction now."

The radar showed that Sadae turned around one degree off towards the ship, then Jane said, "Good, now keep going straight until you see the ship."

Sadae said through intercom, "But it's quite dark out here."

Jane said on the phone, "Trust me, I'll tell you if you're going the wrong way."

Jane turned around and said to Mie, "Prepare the lights."

Mie went and turned on the ship's lights and the runway lights.

Once the runway lights were on, Takami and Shouko got out of the standby room and turned on their light sticks. They both used the light sticks to get Jane's attention to imply that they are ready, which Jane nodded from the flight control deck.

30 minutes later, Jane see a Striker heading towards the ship. Sadae said through intercom, "Is that it?"

Jane said, "Yes, now slow down your speed and follow the landing crews' instructions when you land."

Sadae slowed down her speed as she approached the runway, she see that there are two witches guiding her on the runway. Once Sadae landed, she realized that the landing crew was none other than Takami and Shouko. She asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Shouko said, "Never mind that, let's go down to the mess hall and get some dinner."

They went down the flight elevator together and helped Sadae put back her Strikers. Then they all headed toward the mess hall.

Sadae was surprised to see the mess hall was decorated with birthday stuff, and in her own name nonetheless.

Everyone else but Cecilia showed up and shouted, "Happy Birthday!"

Takami and Shouko turned toward Sadae and also wished her happy birthday.

Sadae said to Jane and Dorothy, "I thought you guys didn't know today was my birthday..."

Jane said, "I wouldn't be a commander if I can't even remember the birthdays of my own squad members."

Dorothy cheered, "Happy Birthday!"

Jane then commented, "And it's all thanks to Cecilia and everyone."

Sadae then realized Cecilia isn't around, she asked, "Then where is she?"

Jane said, "She was preparing a present for you. Delia! Jamie!"

Delia and Jamie went to Dorothy's room and carried Cecilia to the mess hall.

Sadae was surprised even more by the ribbon tied up Cecilia, the ribbon that tied up her hands and feet were tied into butterfly knots.

Cecilia blushingly said, "H-H-Happy B-B-Birthday, S-S-Sadae-chan."

Dorothy explained, "Captain Harris couldn't get anything special for you since we are on a ship, so we suggested her to give you something even more special than anything you can get in the world. What's a greater present than love, right?"

Cecilia blushed even more and quietly nodded in agreement.

Sadae put down her backpack on an empty seat and embraced Cecilia and said, "This is the best present I ever received!" She then kissed Cecilia on the lips as everyone else looked at them with joy.

Sadae then said, "I'm going to unwrap my beautiful present and have fun with it later." She untied Cecilia and freed her from the ribbons, then Cecilia said again with a smile, "Happy Birthday, babe."

Sadae and Cecilia then held hands together as their fingers interwind together.

Cecilia said, "Alright everyone, let's start with the birthday cake."

Everyone found a seat and sat down, Cecilia sat with Sadae, Takami, and Shouko on one side; while Delia, Jamie, Dorothy, Jane, and Mie sat on the other side. They started with the Fusoan desserts and some black tea. Sadae and Shouko ate the most compare to everyone else. Then they put a candle on the cake and sang the 'Happy Birthday' song and Sadae made a wish and blew it out, then Sadae cut the cake for everyone.

While eating, Jane quietly whispered to Dorothy, "So, how did you guys dealt with Cecilia after all?"

Dorothy whispered to Jane, "We locked the door of my room after we got in. She was freaking out at first, but we told her to relax and explained to her everything we have in mind. She was reluctant when she first heard about it, but we were able to persuade her to agree to it eventually. Three hours of convincing and an hour of preparing isn't fun to be honest... But it was still worth the outcome."

Jane agreed to her last statement with a smile as she looked at the lovey-dovey couple feeding each other cake. Mie suddenly grabbed onto Jane's clothes, Mie asked as Jane looked back at her, "Umm... Can our group stay over for tonight? It's too dark to fly back for my group..."

Jane said, "You're right, it's probably too dark for you all to find your carriers this late."

Jane than announced to everyone, "Attention everyone, for those of you that came from the other carriers: You are to stay here for tonight due to dark conditions, but must leave right after breakfast tomorrow. I will make the arrangements with the captains later, you have to share rooms with some of us here because there isn't any guess rooms... That's said, let's enjoy the party!"

Everyone cheered, "Aye, aye, captain!"

Jane then frankly said to Mie, "So, you're coming with me tonight."

Mie smiled and said as she leans on Jane, "Yes, ma'am."

Then Sadae said, "Well, I'm thinking of staying with Cecil... I mean Captain Harris tonight... So I was thinking if Captain Jeram and Lieutenant Swett, or Captain Karibuchi and Shouko could use my room for tonight?"

Delia said, "Thank you, Sadae. I would let miss Takami choose first then."

Takami said, "I think you and Jamie can share the room."

Dorothy said, "You two can share with me then if you'd like, Captain Karibuchi."

Takami said, "Thank you, Dorothy. I'll take up your offer then, right, Shouko?"

Shouko replied, "As long I can sleep, I'm fine with anywhere."

Jamie said, "Then it's settled!"

Delia said to Jamie, "Hey, Jamie! Do not just take the room without thanking her first."

Jamie said simply, "Thanks Sadae."

Delia commented, "That was an improper way to thank someone."

Jamie said back to Delia, "I already thanked her, what else do you want from me..."

Delia answered, "Proper manners."

Jamie said, "It was a rhetorical question..."

Cecilia said, "Just kiss, you fruitcakes!"

Delia said back to Cecilia, "Fine!" Then she kissed Jamie on the lips.

Jamie said with a grin, "Well, look who's improper now?"

Before Delia was about to retort, Jamie kissed her back and said, "Let's just have fun and take a break from politeness for tonight, ok?" Then Jamie put out a kind smile for Delia.

Delia is weak against Jamie when she smiles like this, so she blushingly said, "Do as you like."

The party went on for an hour as everyone hanged out with each other, then they cleaned up everything in the mess hall to return it back to normal. After everything was taken care of, everyone was free to do what they want until midnight. Cecilia and Sadae went to the flight deck and enjoyed the night view. Then Sadae brought up the Yoo-hoo! chocolate drink she bought back in the island, she asked, "Do you recognize this?"

Cecilia answered, "I used to had those sometimes when I was younger, have you tried it?"

Sadae shook her head, so Cecilia took the bottle of Yoo-hoo! from Sadae. She shook the bottle and opened it, then she said, "Now give it a try."

Sadae took a sip of it, it tasted like chocolate milk but it doesn't feel like there's much milk in it. Cecilia asked, "So?"

Sadae said, "It's pretty good, you can have some too." They ended up sharing the bottle of Yoo-hoo! together.

Cecilia then asked, "So what made you get that anyway?"

Sadae answered, "Commander Thach's shopping list was simple but hard to find without a proper map and I was lucky that she did gave me one. The first one was some white and fluffy candy that was soft to eat, I bought a bag of the same thing myself and tried it. The second on was easier since it was just Ramune, I bought a few for myself as well. Then the last thing was this chocolate drink. I was going to try it on my way back if I was out of energy, but I managed to make it without feeling too tired, and our dinner fueled me up so I'm not tired anymore."

Cecilia said, "So, Commander Thach just wanted some snacks she forgot to get..."

Sadae said, "It was a long run but I'm fine with it."

Jane surprised them from behind and said, "Hey, love birds!"

Cecilia and Sadae said simultaneously, "Commander!"

Jane was holding a bottle of Yoo-hoo! that had some of the Liberion candy in it. Cecilia looked at the bottle with candy in it and questioned, "You put marshmallows in Yoo-hoo!s?"

Jane said, "Cold coco isn't so bad sometimes."

Sadae commented in realization, "So the candy is called marshmallows."

Jane said, "Well, happy birthday again, Sadae. Don't stay up too late you two." She then left the two alone and went down stairs.

They held hands and lean onto each other as they enjoyed the night view for anonymity 20 minutes. Then Sadae said, "Let's head to the bed room too, it's time for me to play with my present."

Cecilia blushed and said, "Ok."

They head back to Cecilia's room and took off their uniforms, they turned off the lights and embraced each other for a bit on Cecilia's bed. At the bed, Sadae asked, "I'm thinking of immigrating to Liberion after the war to be with you, what do you think, Cecilia?"

Cecilia laughed a bit and said, "I was thinking of going to Fuso with you after the war... But I don't really care as long we're together."

Sadae said, "Well, I want you to follow your dream of teaching, and you'll have to learn a whole lot of Fusoan if you do go to Fuso..."

Cecilia said, "...We'll figure it out when the time comes." She and Sadae then started kissing each other, they ended up staying up half of the night.

The next day in the morning, everyone that was from a different carrier returned to their own carrier. Cecilia was on duty in the morning while Sadae wasn't, so Sadae woke up an hour after everyone left. She returned to her room and noticed that her bed was neater than the way she would have cleaned her own bed. But when she laid on her bed, she noticed that the edge of her pillow smells like saliva, it didn't smell too bad but was noticeable when smelling it so closely. She then smell around the bed and noticed that the saliva smell is focused at the center of her bed. She thought to herself, 'I guess we weren't alone last night... Oh well, time for a new bed sheet and pillows.' She got her bed sheet and pillows to the laundry deck; while at the laundry deck and getting a new sheet and pillows, she look out at the window and thought of her wish again as she looked at the blue sky,

'I want to be with Cecilia forever.'
