(Who's your guys favorite non-regur character? Like the humans, Alicorn or Team Destroyers. Characters that aren't really in the show.)

  Javelin, Ayanami, Laffey, Z23, Kalk and Hobby are on in swim suits on the beach. Hobby and Kalk are running around on the edge of the water as Javelin and Ayanami py volleyball. Z23 watches from the shade of an umbrel with Laffey sleeping next to her.

  Alicorn's rge sub floats in the distance as several figures are seen fishing on the side of it. Major Freya's massive battleship floats next to Alicorn's A few Ironblood HO ships and a couple Ship Girls sail out of port.

  Someone jumps off the side of Alicorn's sub and into the water. A shark fin rises to the surface next to where the person jumped.

  Javelin severs the ball. "Here I go, Ayanami-chan!"

  "Go right ahead!" Ayanami gets ready.

  Javelin hits the ball towards Ayanami, and Ayanami hits the ball but it goes behind her. Giving Javelin the point.

  "Hey!" Javelin shouts. "Niimi-chan, you should come and py, too!"

  Z23 thinks for a second. "Nobody will get mad if I cut loose once in a while, right?" Then she yells back to Javelin. "Coming!" She runs over to Javelin and Ayanami.

  "Let's py a ton, and then enjoy the barbecue!"

  Ayanami throws the ball to Z23.

  Z23 catches the ball and holds it up. "It'll taste even better when we're really hungry." She serves the ball towards Ayanami.

  "I'm looking forward to it." Ayanami goes to it the ball that flies to her side, but instead hits a pair of rge breasts that suddenly appear.

  "May I py, too?" Rodney asks as she holds up the ball. She tosses the ball back.

  "O-Of course!" Javelin holds her hands up to catch the ball. Javelin then slides over and looks at Rodney's chest. "You're not one of the Big Seven for nothing."

  Rodney smiles and puts a hand on her cheek. "I've been wanting to try this 'watermelon splitting.'"

  "Isn't that the thing Ayanami-chan mentioned?" Javelin questions.

  Ayanami nods. "Yes. It's a time-honored social summer activity."

  "This sounds like fun." Z23 walks over.

  Kalk and Hobby walk over.

  "Hi Rodney!" Kalk fps her arms.

  "Oh, hello Kalk and Hobby." Rodney waves.

  Javelin pumps an arm. "Let's try it!"

  A few minutes ter they get a watermelon pced on a cloth, and Ayanami ties a ribbon around Rodney's eyes.

  "First, we blindfold you." Ayanami says.

  "Then, you use some weapon to crack it or break it. Right, Ayanami-chan?" Javelin asks.

  Hobby's mouth waters. "Watermelon..."

  "Right." Ayanami responds to Javelin, and begins to walk off. "I'll go get something."

  "I see." Rodney stands up, and summons her rigging. "You use a weapon to break it open!"

  Ayanami runs away.

  "What?" Javelin yells. "You're going to shoot it?!"

  "Please don't!" Kalk yells.

  "If she shoots it with something like that, we'll get hit, too!" Z23 yells.

  The four girls run away screaming.

  Rodney aims her massive cannons at the watermelon. "No mercy for our enemies!"

  Ayanami starts to cry. "If you do that, the watermelon will get completely..."

  "Here I go!"

  Rodney fires, blowing up the watermelon and sending all the food they brought to the barbecue all over.

  "Our ingredients for the barbecue..." Javelin says in shock.

  "A great success!" Rodney takes off her blindfold.

  There's nothing but a rge crater in front of her.

  "So this is what they call watermelon splitting." Rodney says with shining eyes. "It's a lot of fun, but at what cost?"

  Hobby falls face first into the sand.

  "Poor watermelon." Kalk says in a sad tone.

  "Usually, there's no cost." Ayanami replies to Rodney.

  Rodney looks at Ayanami in surprise. "Oh? Really?

  "The beach is no pce for navel bombardments!" Z23 yells

  Avis, Alicorn Robotic Eagle, flies above them. With his eyes glowing blue for a few seconds, before turning around and heading back towards Alicorn's sub.

  Laffey pops over. "Where's my food?"

  "Gone... reduced to atoms..." Hobby stays faced down in the sand.

  "Rodney-san shot it all to bits." Javelin informs.

  Rodney waves her hands around as everyone deadpan stares at her. "I... uh... I'm very sorry."

  .

  .

  Hobby, Ayanami and Z23 get dressed and grab backpack.

  "We'll go up the mountain and try to find some ingredients to use for the barbecue." Z23 waves.

  "We'll check the ocean, too!" Javelin waves back.

  Kalk fps her arms. "Fishing time!"

  "I'll help, too." Rodney says.

  Laffey ys in the shade of her umbrel. "Obviously. People who don't work don't eat."

  Javelin gnces over at Laffey. "Come help us, Laffey-chan!"

  Z23, Hobby and Ayanami head up the mountain to look for food.

  "What kind of food can you get in the mountain?" Z23 questions and they start to explore. "Mushrooms, and.... Looks like there are a lot of mushrooms around here. They might be good for the barbecue."

  "Oh, Hobby's getting hungry." Hobby compins.

  "Me too..." Ayanami says.

  After a while of exploring Z23 starts to get discouraged.

  "I don't think there are any around here." Ayanami says.

  "We should go deeper." Z23 suggests.

  Hobby sighs as the three head deeper through the mountain's forest.

  Ayanami stops. "This is a..."

  "Food?" Hobby questions.

  "What is it?" Z23 asks and she's suddenly pulled into the air.

  Z23 is dangled in the air by a rope trap.

  "A trap." Ayanami finishes.

  "You could've said so earlier!" Z23 compins.

  Suddenly some footsteps approach and everyone looks to see Minneapolis approach.

  "Minneapolis-san?" Ayanami questions.

  "What?" Minneapolis questions as she approaches the three. "I thought I caught something."

  "You caught Niimi-chan." Hobby points to Z23.

  "I meant food."

  "Oooohhhhhh...."

  "What is this supposed to be?" Z23 asks.

  "A hunting trap I id." Minneapolis informs. "Well, then." She begins to walk off.

  Z23 waves her arms around. "Hey, please let me down!"

  Minneapolis lets Z23 down.

  "I never thought you'd be hunting." Z23 says as she rubs her right leg.

  "These are my hunting grounds." Minneapolis informs. "Coming here unprepared is dangerous."

  "So are there more traps?" Ayanami asks.

  "That's right. There are a lot of wild animals in this area. What are you guys doing here, anyway?"

  Z23 stands up and fixes her hat.

  "We're having a barbecue." Ayanami smiles.

  "What?" Minneapolis questions.

  "We're looking for some ingredients for our barbecue." Z23 informs.

  "Rodney destroyed the ingredients we had." Hobby informs.

  Minneapolis puts a hand on her chin. "Ingredients, you say?"

  "We were hoping we could find mushrooms or something else edible." Z23 informs.

  There's a rge patch of mushrooms off to the side, which Minneapolis slides in front of to hide them. "Y-You think I'll tell you where to find my prey that easily?!"

  Ayanami, Z23 and Hobby all sweat drop.

  "There will be a lot of tasty food ter." Ayanami states.

  Minneapolis nearly crushes a mushroom she's hiding behind her back. "Tasty food? A lot of it, you say?"

  Ayanami smirks. "The blessings of the mountain, and the fruits of the sea..."

  "What if you could enjoy both at once?" Z23 smirks.

  "All fried, steamed and cooked food you could ask for." Hobby smirks.

  Minneapolis grunts as she tries to resist. Her stomach growls in responce. "I guess I could give you a few tips.

  Z23, Ayanami, and Hobby give each other smirks and thumbs up.

  Down on the beach Javelin is snorkeling with a spear in hand. She throws the spear into a crack between some rocks.

  On the surface Laffey is collecting cms.

  Javelin pops onto the surface. "I did it!" She holds up her spear with has a fish impaled on it. "I caught it!"

  "I caught one, too." Laffey shouts back.

  Javelin swims over and the two look into their cooler, which only has a few items.

  "It won't be much of a barbecue at this rate, though." Javelin states.

  "It's hard to catch things." Laffey states.

  "I wonder how Kalk-chan is doing?" Javelin looks towards the mountain. "We have to do something before Niimi-chan and the others get back."

  Rodney smiles as she appears beside the two. "Would you let me have a go to make up for my mistake earlier?"

  "Huh? Are you good at fishing, Rodney-san?" Javelin's eyes go wide as Rodney summons her ridding.

  Rodney turns to the ocean and fires several volleys.

  "That's..." Javelin starts.

  Laffey finishes. "...An overwhelming power move."

  Javelin looks up and sees hundreds of fish raining down. "Wow! That's amazing!" She holds up a net. "Laffey-chan, we've got to hurry up and catch them!"

  Laffey grabs the cooler. The two being to catch all the fish they can.

  Rodney smiles and puts a hand on her chin. "I'm gd I could help."

  Suddenly they hear screaming and they see Kalk jump out of the ocean, with a Great White Shark held above her head."I AM THE PRINCESS OF THE OCEAN! AAAAAHHHHHH!"

  Rodney, Laffey and Javelin blink in surprise a few times.

  "Wow, Kalk-chan is strong." Javelin mutters.

  .

  .

  .

  Everyone's returned and showing off the stuff they've gathered.

  "I'm gd we found all this, but can we even finish it?" Javelin questions.

  "I'm sure it will be gone in a fsh with everybody here." Z23 says.

  Off to the side Minneapolis is cooking some of the food, with Ark Royal, Gascogne, Rodney and Graff Zeppelin beside her.

  "I heard there was a barbecue going on over here." Alicorn's voice is heard.

  Everyone looks to the side to see Alicorn, wearing a bck ce two piece swim suit, with a rge net of fish over her shoulder. Belchan, Echo, Sheffield and Edinburgh are standing behind her in their swim suits.

  .

  .

  People are eating and we see Sheffield walk up to Alicorn, while holding a bottle of sunscreen.

  "Mistress, will you put sunscreen on me?" Sheffield says.

  Alicorn smiles and grabs the bottle. "Sure."

  Sheffield grows a small smirk as she ys down on her stomach, on a towel, and unclips her bra.

  Alicorn kneels down to Sheffield and puts some sunscreen on her hands. Then she pces them onto Sheffield's back, but the maid lets out a small moan, making Alicorn blush. "S-S-Sheffield?" The sub questions.

  "Sorry, but the sunscreen felt a little cold." Sheffield states.

  "O-Oh..."

  Sheffield continues to rub Sheffield's back, while the maid lets out small grunts and moans. Alicorn's face grows more red with each passing second, until Edinburgh runs over.

  "Not fair, Sheffield!" Edinburgh shouts. "Y-You always steal Alicorn away!" She ys on her stomach. "C-Can you please put some on me too."

  Steam slowly pours out of Alicorn's ears as she nods.

  Sheffield only smirks as she rolls over. "Mistress." Alicorn looks over, only to see Sheffield remove her bra entirely. "I need to prevent sunburn on my chest, will you help me?"

  Blood shoots out of Alicorn's nose as she falls over and onto her back. Alicorn makes shocked noises as swirls form in her eyes.
