8263. Just because the Town class are big for light cruisers, do not call them fat! the only thing 'light' about them are the calibre of their guns, and they know how to use them.

"So how was your trip over here, no trouble with the Abyssal's I presume," Kongo asked the visiting British shipgirls, Edinburgh and Sheffield as she poured them each a cup of specially brewed black tea, before giving a questioning look at the other visiting ship, Belfast who was standing nearby focusing on her phone and drinking a mug of something, rather than the tea party Kongo had put on, "are you sure you wouldn't like a cup of tea?, It's very nice" She quired, hoping to get the notoriously aloof cruiser to join in.

"No thanks, I've got coffee, never really liked tea anyway" Belfast replied holding up her mug to clarify the point, Kongo shuddered at the thought, she preferred the sweet and flavorful taste of a good cup of tea, to the bitter taste of coffee, however before she could push the issue, Sheffield piped up.

"Sorry about her, she's not exactly the best person at parties" Sheffield explained, before turning to stare at her youngest sister, "Not anymore" she muttered under her breath so that no one could hear, before returning her attention to Kongo, "but yes we didn't have any trouble with the Abyssal's, It was actually a quiet trip" Sheffield continued.

"That's good to hear, they can be annoying from time to time" Maya noted as she drank her own cup of tea, normally Kongo's sisters would have joined her but Kirishima was off visiting Washington, and what they were doing together was for them to know only and Hiei was dealing with the fallout of Haruna being subjected to Iku's talk, Kongo still had to teach that lewd marine a lesson.

"Yes they can be a pain, but they've been quiet recently though, probably up to something" Myōkō mused, before noticing Edinburgh reaching to take one of the cakes on offer, "Careful how many cakes you eat" she noted, causing Edinburgh to freeze mid-action, before glaring at Myōkō.

"Excuse me? what do mean I need to be careful about how many cakes I eat" Edinburgh questioned, a hint of anger in her voice, Sheffield was looking cross as well, with everyone watching what was happening around the table, nobody noticed Belfast slip away, she knew what was coming and for once didn't want to get involved in a family related incident.

"Well you are a big for light cruisers, you could do with losing some weight" Myōkō explained, Maya nodding in agreement, as Kongo felt like the temperature in the room had dropped to sub-zero, and the looks of utter fury on Sheffield's and Edinburgh's faces was the kind of scene that caused monsters to hide, the silence was total, and then Sheffield broke it.

"GET THEM!" Sheffield screamed as she launched herself at Maya, followed by Edinburgh leaping at Myōkō, Kongo meanwhile quickly tried to break-up the brawl.

"Now girls, please can you stop fighting I'm sure if we talk about this we can..." Kongo began, only to be stopped mid-sentence by a defected punch from Sheffield striking her in the face, knocking her someways back "Ok now its on!" she barked as she dove into the fray.

Fubuki sighed as she strolled towards the dorm shared by the Kongo sisters, the paperwork she'd had to deal with today had been larger than usual, mostly it was complaints about Junyo and Chitose's latest binge, but now she was free to enjoy one of Kongo's tea parties, some cake and tea would do her some good; however as she reached the building in question, she noticed a shipgirl walking the other way quickly, more puzzling was that the shipgirl was one of the British cruisers's that Kongo was hosting her tea party for, and by the fact that this one was wearing a radically different and more modern looking outfit, told Fubuki that this was the legendary figure of Belfast, so why she was walking away from the party was a mystery.

"Hey your Belfast, shouldn't you be at Kongo's tea party?" Fubuki asked, causing the cruiser to stop in her tracks, evidently, she hadn't noticed Fubuki in her haste.

"If by tea party you mean the brawl going on back there, I think it's in both of our interests to steer clear of it" Belfast explained, thumbing in the direction of Kongos dorm, Fubuki however simply looked puzzled, "Myōkō called my sister's fat, they didn't take it well, so I made my escape before the shit hit the fan" she continued, which didn't clear up Fubuki's confusion.

"Wait, what do you mean Myōkō called your sister's fat? besides what could two light cruisers do, especially when Kongos there" Fubuki queried, only to receive an answer in the form of Maya's battered head being shoved through the wall.

"HELP ME!" was all Maya could scream before she was pulled back into the building, and with the hole know there, Fubuki could now hear the sounds of Sheffield and Edinburgh dishing out a beating.

"Yeah, us towns might be classified as light cruisers, but we're technically heavy cruisers in terms of size and firepower, and our armours not bad either" Belfast pointed out, as the sounds of crockery breaking echoed out from the building, "I'd suggest we wait until they've calmed down before we call the MP's, until then I don't suppose there's a bar nearby, I need a fucking drink" Belfast continued turning her attention back to Fubuki, "and as your Goto's XO, and since I know what someone looks like when they need a drink, I'd suggest you join me" Belfast added, Fubuki meanwhile just listened to what Belfast said, weighed up her options and came to a decision she thought was best.

"Yeah come on, Hōshō's isn't far, and after its calmed down we'll get Ooyodo to send in the MP's, the Admiral will just things worse!" Fubuki concluded, as she led Belfast to Hōshō's, Belfast was right, she needed a drink.
