They all knew it was going to happen someday

It was a huge base located in the middle of the ocean, It was obvious that somehow, someday, someone was going to fall off

Of course, no one expected that person to be Paz

Snake was nearby when he heard Chico's cry, he ran over and quickly assessed the situation

He had been fishing, Paz came over and must have tripped over the bait or slipped on a wet spot and gone tumbling over the railing

Seeing a small spot of golden hair struggling in the strong current below, not seeing a life ring nearby and seeing that Chico was just a few seconds from diving in himself, the legendary soldier dived in headfirst to the cold water below

Upon seeing their boss dive over the edge, many soldiers came to the railing to witness the situation

Snake landed into the strong current and took a few second to resurface, he quickly locked onto the golden haired girl who was struggling in the current

Calling out her name, he rapidly swam towards her, she called out his name too as the waves came crashing down on them both

They struggled to fight the water, the strong waves knocked off a holstered pistol from Snake as well as the survival knife he always kept on him

Nevertheless, he fought against the waves, catching the golden haired schoolgirl, moments before she was almost washed away again, prompting a series of cheers from the soldiers above

He held on to her tight as he swam over to the bottom of one base Where they made a quick discovery

Whereas the current had robbed Snake of a pistol and knife, it had robbed Paz of her skirt and underwear

The two clambered up on a small ledge of one base, Snake turned around to ask if she was alright

Unintentionally getting an eyeful of golden curls

But not on her head...

The girl wasn't as quick to notice as snake, it was only when she felt a cool breeze did she look down And let out a mortified scream

Snake quickly pulled a 180 turn as the girl quickly covered herself up

"S-Sorry...I didn't see anything" He lied

A reply didn't come for the next four seconds

"It is okay...I am fine now"

Peeking his one good eye, He witnessed that Paz had used her blouse to form a makeshift skirt

The girl let out a small smile an nodded

"We should head back up" Snake began "They-"

"AHHHHHHH!"

"Was that...Dr. Emmerich?" Paz asked

And somehow, Snake just knew

"Damn it Strangelove! We talked about this! Wear clothes when you sunbathe!" He roared to the sky

"I am!" Came a reply "I'm wearing boots!"
