5447. We know nothing we say is going to keep you girls from spying on your little sister's dates, but please, try to keep a low profile, and not completely ruin them.

Okinawa

"Nachi, what are they doing now?" asked Myoko.

"Still just talking, wait, no, the waiter just spilled something again."

"That's the second time in less than an hour."

"At least this time it was just an empty tray."

"Before Myoko could reply, the two heard someone walk up to their bush.

"You sure this is still a good idea? After this morning I'm a bit unsure." they heard a man ask.

"It's a perfect idea. Look, you know as well as I do that the Captain is hopeless when it comes to dating, se we-what the heck!?" another voice exclaimed as he entered the bush and came face to face with Nachi.

"Who are you?" she asked menacingly.

The man in the bush simply looked her in the eyes and said, "Ladies first."

Seeing the signs of impending combat, Myoko and the other man quickly got in between them.

"Whoa Matt, relax!"

"Nachi, you'll give us away. Quiet!"

The crisis over, the four looked at each other. "I'll ask again. Who are you?" said Nachi.

"Hi, I'm Lt. Bryan York, and this is Lt. Matt Chance. We're with VMF-282 stationed at Futenma. And you two are?"

"Heavy cruisers Myoko and Nachi, JMSDF."

"Nice to meet you. I am sorry we interrupted you two, but could we barrow that bush? We're spy-I mean observing our CO's date."

"Sorry, but we're using it at the moment. We're observing our sister's date."

"Your spying on a date here too? Wow, talk about coincidences, right Matt?"

Lt. Chance's eyes narrowed. "Who's your sister on a date with, if you don't mind me asking."

"Oh, the leader of a Marine fighter squadron..." Myoko trailed off as the realization hit her.

There was a brief moment of silence before the accusations began.

"You're spying on our sister's date!" the two cruisers yelled.

"You're spying on our CO's date!" the Marines retorted.

In the other side of the restaurant, the couple in question surveyed the scene, shaking their heads.

"Well, so much for peace and quiet." groaned Haguro.

"At least there's no flying sushi this time." replied John.

"Or a runaway table umbrella."

"You know, when you told me about how your sisters react to you dating, I thought you were joking."

"Nope." Haguro sighed. "Any ideas on how to get rid of them this time?"

"You know, I think I just might." grinning, he flagged down the waiter. "Check please."

Later...

'Where ae they?" asked Nachi as they searched the base.

"The guard said they went to the hanger." said Matt.

" York, Chance, looking for something?" the Marines stiffened as a familiar voice spoke up behind them.

"Oh, Myoko-nee, Nachi-nee, what are you two doing here?"

The quartet turned around and saw Ashigara and Commander Douglas leaning against the hanger door.

"Oh we were just.."

"Spying on Haguro's date again? I thought we agreed that would come to an end, Myoko."

"I know, its just, we don't know anything about him and.."

"Myoko, I'm not angry with you or Nachi."

"You're not?" the two cruisers asked in wonder.

"No, I think Takao has had that covered since I told her what you were doing." Myoko's eyes widened, and she hung her head in defeat.

"As for you two jokers," Douglas spoke up. "What did I tell you about spying on the Captain?"

"To not to, sir."

"Good, you're lucky he's a lot more forgiving than I am. This stops now, is that clear?"

"Yes sir."

"Good."

Nachi glanced around, confused. "Wait, if you two are here, than where is Haguro and her date?"

Ashigara grinned. "Look behind you."

The four looked back just in time to see an F-18 roar into the night sky, banking towards the ocean.

In the F-18...

"So, now that we have some piece and quiet," said Haguro. "please, tell me more about how you fell out of a helicopter."

"Only if you tell me about that road trip prank." John answered.

"It's a deal."
