5820. Do not use a shipgirl's personal vehicle without their express permission. Don't let what happened to Nachi happen to you.

Yokosuka.

The missile surged through the air, slamming into it's intended target. It was followed once, twice, then three times, and to one heavy cruiser's consternation, they all landed in the exact same place.

"Four for four." said Maya, smirking.

"How?" asked Nachi.

Maya merely pointed to her eyes. "American fire control, honey. I love this new radar."

Nachi scoffed as she downed her sixth beer. "Lucky shot. Nothin' more."

"Yeah?" boasted Maya. "I like to see you top that. Hosho, another round."

Nachi emptied her mug, trying to think of a way to put Maya back in her place. Normally, she'd take her time and come to a logical decision. But, with seven, soon to be eight beers in her, she instead came to what was to be a very rash, and later, painful decision.

"You're good on a bike, right?" asked Nachi.

"What about it?" asked Maya, surprised.

"Can you do a wheelie?"

"Oh, yeah." said Maya. "Only one I know who can do it better is your sister."

"I bet you 2200 yen I can do a better wheelie than you." said Nachi, slamming her mug down.

Maya's eyes narrowed. "Since when do you have a bike? Or, ride one, for that matter?"

"Never ridden a bike before in my life, and I don't have one."

"Well, you're not riding mine, and Atago's out of town."

"Don't worry, I know where I can get one."

It took a moment before realization dawn on Maya. "You can't do that. The only things Haguro likes more than that bike is her boyfriend and the four of you."

"Relax, Maya. Haguro doesn't take her daily ride till sunset. It'll take me ten minutes tops to beat you."

A few minutes later, Nachi and Maya were standing next to Haguro's bike, where they had run into a slight problem.

"Where's the key?" asked Nachi.

"There isn't a key. It's a kick start." said Maya.

Soon, Nachi had started the bike and pulled out of Haguro's spot, ready to go. Maya was about to start her off when she heard some familiar voices behind her.

"Why are we doing this again?" asked Myoko hesitantly.

"Because both me and Ashigara-chan think you need to get out of your shell." answered Takao.

"Face it, Nee-san. You need more drama in your life." added Ashigara.

"I already have too much drama. I'm your sister," she said, pointing to Ashigara. "and I married you."

Both Takao and Ashigara glared while Haguro giggled. "Don't worry, onee-chan. Riding a motorcycle is perfectly safe.."

Before she could finish, Nachi, through with waiting for Maya, took off, racing down the parking lot. Feeling she was going fast enough, she leaned back and performed a perfect wheelie, for all of two seconds. She went too far back, and fell off the seat. Haguro's bike, now rider less, continued on for another twenty feet before it fell on it's side and skidded to a stop.

"Nachi!"

"Are you hurt!?"

"Say something!"

As everyone rushed to her side, Nachi opened her eyes and stood up. "Did I do a wheelie?"

"No," said Maya. "You fell off the bike. Speaking of which, how is the bike?"

All heads turned and saw Haguro kneeling by her bike. The front fender was dented, the handlebar was bent, and the paint on one side was completely ruined.

"My bike." said Haguro slowly, turning her gaze towards Nachi.

"Oh, sis. I didn't know you were going to ride your bike early."

Haguro didn't say anything as she slowly advanced towards the group.

"It was really fun to ride. I can see why you like it so much." said Nachi, color draining from her face.

Haguro simply glared at her.

"Would it help if I said I was sorry?" she asked lamely.

"NACHI!" Haguro roared. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

"Eeep!" yelped Nachi as she ran, her little sister hot on her heels.

"A part of me says we should intervene." said Myoko.

"A good point." replied Ashigara.

"But another part of me rather enjoys living."

"Also a good point."

"Where are you going?" asked Takao as Maya walked away.

"Back to Hosho's. I'm way too sober for this."
