Last time:

At around half past twelve, the duo arrived at a modest two story house with a garage. It is a white colored house with a black tiled roof. The inside of the house has one master bedroom and three other bedrooms. One of the bedrooms belongs to Saber while the other two bedrooms were connected via a door between the two rooms. The master bedroom has a bathroom that is connected. The other bathroom is downstairs. They had a small pool in the backyard.

Joseph Aldrich walked to the house's front door and entered the house with Saber right behind him.

When Saber entered the house he said "Mom! We're home."

Chapter 3

Somewhere in LA

July 14, 12:30 PM

Inside the Aldrich's house.

After Saber finished talking, a woman standing at 5' 8" and in her mid 30s appeared in the doorway. Her eyes were a forest green color, and she had red hair. The woman was Victoria Aldrich, the mother of Saber, Katie, and Alexis Aldrich. Once Victoria finished greeting her son and husband, she helped carry some of the lighter items back into the house. When Saber finished with unpacking his laptop, he went to the kitchen to get something to eat. As Saber was walking back to his bedroom, two red-haired missiles slammed into him, causing Saber to fall on his back. The two missiles that slammed into Saber were his little twin sisters: Katie Aldrich and Alexis Aldrich. Both were younger then Saber by six years and looked a lot like their mother when she was younger.

When Saber recovered from being knocked down, he was surprised to find his little sisters grinning at him.

Katie and Alexis began to say together: "Saber! Welcome back, big brother."

Saber rolled his eyes fondly and said, "Missed you two as well. Although can the both of you get off me? Please?"

Once his sisters got off of him and ran back to their bedroom, Saber saw his mom smirking at him enjoying his little plight. When his mom stopped smirking she asked, "Saber can you give your sisters a lift to their friend's house?"

"Um sure…where is their friend's house?" Saber asked.

Victoria who was in the kitchen answered: "2843 Happy Valley, The Glen LA."

Saber quickly jotted down the address to put into the car's GPS when he drops off his little sisters. Once he was done jotting down the address he asked his mom, "Where are Alexis, and Katie right now?"

Victoria answered her son, "They're in their room packing some things they want when they're over by their friend's house."

"Can I ask another question?" Saber asked

Victoria replies, "Sure."

Saber asked in a confused tone: "Couldn't dad drop of Alexis and Katie? I mean he knows the area better then I do."

Victoria looked at her son with an amused expression and said "He would but he's currently taking a nap as today is his day off, and you know how your father likes to sleep in sometimes during his day offs."

Saber quickly made himself a sandwich to eat before his little sisters came downstairs. Once Saber was outside he asked both Alexis and Katie if they would like him to drive the Dodge Challenger Demon or the Dodge Caravan. His sisters chose the Caravan as it was in their words "It has more room to stretch your legs in when you're in the backseat."

As Saber put the keys into the ignition and started the engine, he noticed that the Caravan was low on fuel and decided to fill up the gas tank before he drove to the house of his little sisters' friend. It took a little over 25 minutes to drive from the house to the gas station and then to their friend's house. Both Katie and Alexis agreed that Saber would pick them up around seven at night.

When Saber arrived back at the house, after dropping off Katie and Alexis by their friend's house, he saw his mom dressed as if she's going out. When he asked where she is going, Victoria's answer was that both of them are going on a clothes shopping trip since some of Saber's old clothes don't fit him anymore and then they would go to the supermarket to buy groceries. As Victoria finished speaking Saber began to pale in dread and his protests fell on deaf ears as Victoria dragged Saber back to the Caravan. His father, who was in the master bedroom asleep, woke up as he heard Saber's protesting but thought nothing of it and went back to his nap.

In the clothing store, Victoria let Saber choose some T-Shirts that he likes as some of the T-Shirts in the closet just doesn't fit Saber anymore. All of the T-shirts that Saber bought had one thing in common: they only consist of dark colors such as black, dark purple, blue, red. Saber also chose a dark blue overcoat, with the overcoat's neck, shoulder, and chest areas black with some dark purple patterns. He also chose a black button up shirt and a red tie. The clothes shopping trip took a little over 45 minutes.

Next they drove to the supermarket because the fridge was nearly empty. Saber's mom said that they were only going to buy enough for at least two weeks as they will be flying to Japan in about two weeks.

When they reached back home, Saber helped his mom carry the grocery bags into the house. Once he was done, Saber ran upstairs to his bedroom and tried to finish the Tamiya 1/16 M1A2 Abrams model. The model took around 45 minutes to complete. When the model was done, Saber placed the model beside the other Tamiya 1/16 tank models that he had completed. The other models are the Tamiya 1/16 JGSDF Type 10 Tank, Leopard 2A6 and A4 Main Battle Tank, and the Flakpanzer Gepard.

A few hours later after mowing the lawn, Saber went to take a quick shower and pick up his little sisters as it was nearly seven. By the time Saber reached where his little sisters are, it would be around seven in the evening anyway. The drive to pick up his little sisters was uneventful and on the way back, Katie and Alexis had fallen asleep leaning against each other. When Saber parked the car he woke up his little sisters: "Hey Katie, Alexis wake up, we're home."

As they went into the house, Saber saw his mom preparing dinner, so he quickly told his sisters to wash up for dinner. He went straight to the open kitchen, quickly washed his hands and helped his mom prepare dinner. When the dinner was finished Saber asked his mom to help him make dessert which was a Hazelnut Meringue Tower. After washing the dishes, his sisters asked him to play World of Tanks with both of them and a few of their best friends. The match is in a training room with some of their friends and classmates.

Saber would be helping his sisters and their best friends win against some of the classmates. The map was Live Oaks. There would be nine members for each of the two teams. Other than going up against their classmates, both of their parents would be joining the opposing team.

Saber would be using his T110E5, Alexis would be using her Centurion Action X, Katie in her Leopard 1. Their teammates would be using the M48 Patton, Jagdpanzer E100, Conqueror Gun Carriage, STB-1, Super Conqueror, and the WZ-111 model 5A. Their father, Joseph Aldrich, was using his IS-7, along with their mother, who utilized her IS-4. The opposing team would be using the Object 140, T-62A, STRV 103B, E100, WZ-113G FT, AMX 13 105, and the Bat.-Chatillon 25 t.

The match was not too long as when the battle started, Katie immediately went to look for the opposing team while the WZ-111 and Conqueror Gun Carriage went somewhere else on the map to look for a place for the SPG to give artillery support. In the end of the match it was a win for Saber's team as he had managed to find the IS-4 that his mother was playing in.

On the day before the Aldrich's were suppose to go to the airport, Katie and Alexis went to their best friend's house to get together one last time. The flight to Japan would depart sometime at 2:30 PM the next day. Saber would be joining his family in Japan the day after they arrive in Japan, as he would be the co-pilot in flying West Coast Navy High's C-5M Super Galaxy which would be carrying the M103, M48, and the crewmembers for the three tanks. The AMX-13 will be carried by C-17 Globemaster III. Saber would be driving his Dodge Challenger Demon back to where the West Coast Navy High's school carrier would be docked.

10:45 PM

As Saber reached the airstrip on the school carrier, he could see the school's C-5M Super Galaxy with the nose cargo-bay doors fully opened. The turrets of the M103 and M48 Patton were facing towards the rear of the tank. The M48 went into the cargo bay first as it would be airdropped onto Oarai's school grounds from the aft cargo bay doors. Hearing the V8 Supercharged engine of the Challenger Demon, Derek Griffin turned his head towards the engine noise. As soon as the Demon came to a stop, Saber stepped out of the car and walked towards Derek. Saber was wearing black pants that had a silver buckle, a black V-necked shirt that was worn underneath a black trench-coat with gray lining going down the sleeves. The coat had silver plates on each shoulder.

Derek walked towards Saber and said "Saber! You're just on time. We're beginning to load the tanks into the C-5M."

Saber replied back: "Yeah I can see that. Where's the C-17 III that's suppose to carry the AMX-13 and some parts and supplies for the tanks."

Before Derek could answer, the roaring of four Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 turbofan engines could be heard by everyone that was at the school carrier's airstrip. Derek cheekily replied: "The C-17 Globemaster is still flying towards us."

Saber's eyebrow twitched and he said, "Well thank you captain obvious. Can my Dodge Challenger Demon go in the C-5M?"

Derek who actually owes Saber a few favors said, "After your M103 gets loaded into the C-5M then you can get your Challenger Demon into the jet. Just make sure to tie down your car."

After talking for about twenty minutes Saber said goodbye to Derek and went to the cockpit of the C-5M. Saber was going to be the co-pilot for the flight from West Coast Navy High's school carrier that is docked in San Diego Bay to Japan. The flight should take around nine hours and 30 minutes. There was also another co-pilot on board that will relieve Saber of being the co-pilot halfway into the flight. As soon as Saber was relieved of his duties he quickly walked as fast as he could to the bathroom. The remaining four and half hours of the flight Saber spent it by getting a small snack before finding taking a nap for the rest of the flight's duration.

When Saber arrived at their new house in Tokyo, Japan, he was immediately pounced on by his German Shepherd puppy Grim. Alexis and Katie were in their shared bedroom doing something. Saber's room was right next to their room, and the master bedroom was located on the opposite side of the hallway. Saber was going to have to go back to the C-5 Galaxy to get to Oarai's school carrier before the start of the new school year. For the first few days in Japan, Saber went to bed a lot earlier then he normally would due to jet lag. Saber's normal bedtime is after eleven at night, however he slept at nine at night due to the jet lag. The days leading up to when they have to fly to Oarai's school carrier were rather boring. Other than some extra lessons on Japanese culture, and language.

August 30th 20XX

9:00 AM

Today was the day that they were going to fly to Oarai school carrier. As Saber entered the hangar where the C-5M was staying, he could hear the bus that was carrying the rest of the team arriving. The crew of the M48A3 and M103 tanks quickly boarded the C-5M, while the AMX-13 crew boarded the C-17 Globemaster III. The flight to the school carrier will probably take around and hour and 30 minutes as the school carrier had left port the day before.

The tanks (along with the Dodge Challenger Demon) would be airdropped onto the school airfield. They would be staying in three different houses on the carrier. The crew of the M103, M48A3 and AMX-13 will be staying in groups of two or three with different houses or by themselves in an 1dk apartment. Saber on the other hand will be staying in a 2 story Modern Japanese House. In a few minutes, the two massive military transport aircraft thundered down the runway and into the air heading towards the airfield near Oarai Girl's High School.

An airfield is a place where airplanes can take off and land but unlike an airport, an airfield does not necessarily have terminals or paved runways.

That's the end of chapter 3 of Girls und Panzer: Operation Co-ed. Well this chapter is a bit short sorry about that. Feel free to review and if you have anything to discuss please don't leave a review as a guest as I won't be able to answer you.

Thank you for reading this story, and I'll see you next time.
