Narrator: Following the events of yesterday, the commander finds himself inside of his office once again. Working on papers while his assistant stands on guard.

Nobuhito: **signs a paper** Hmm, I wonder what will happen to day?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Probably nothing much. Say, did you ever get the things set up?

Nobuhito: N-No, I didn't. I will go do that right now.

Narrator: The commander gets up and leaves the building with his assistant. They go to the newly built play area of the base. When they arrive, they find Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan playing on the swings, but they have expressions boredism on their face.

Akagi-chan: **sighs** I thought this was meant to be fun.

Taihou-chan: I did as well, Akagi-chan.

Wilhelm von Alfred: Guten Tag my friends.

Taihou-chan and Akagi-chan: Huh? **looks at the gate** Father!

Narrator: They run towards him and hug his legs.

Nobuhito: My, did I miss something?

Akagi-chan: No, we're just happy to see you, father.

Nobuhito: I am slowly getting used to that my friend. Now, I must get to work here.

Taihou-chan: On what?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: That is a surprise of course. It's a little present from the commander. Can you two go and help your mothers? We will call you two back once we finish, "designing" here.

Akagi-chan: Okay, thank you father.

Taihou-chan: Thank you.

Nobuhito: My pleasure girls.

Narrator: He hugs them and then they leave to go find Akagi and Taihou to help. After they are gone, the commander and his assistant get to work.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Let us get to work ja?

Nobuhito: Of course.

Narrator: They bring out the supplies and open the first box, which is full of sandbags.

Nobuhito: Did you order these?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Jawohl, we will use them to fill up that sandbox. Come on now.

Nobuhito: Fine. **picks up a sandbag**

Narrator: They bring the sandbags over to the sandbox, rip them open, and pour the sand into the sandbox. They start with the corners and then move towards the center. After twenty minutes of pouring sand, they finish filling up the sandbox.

Nobuhito: **throws an empty sandbag into a box** Phew, the sandbox is done.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **places a few buckets and shovels into the sandbox** Now it is done ja?

Nobuhito: **weakly chuckles** It is now. Let's see what else we have, no?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Of course. **opens a box** This one has a few balls, toy planes, and toy size ships.

Nobuhito: Ah, then the long box next to it is the toy box. Let's get that one out of the way then.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Of course mein Freund.

Narrator: They carry the box to a corner and then open it. They take the supplies out and begin to build the toy box. Meanwhile, the girls are chatting. Scene shifts to the girls.

Taihou: **sips a cup of tea** My, this is relaxing.

Akagi: It is Taihou-san. What about you, dear sister?

Kaga: Huh? Oh, relaxing feels great, I'm just happy we are able to actually relax.

Akagi: **giggles** My, it seems that we have the same thoughts, dear sister.

Akagi-chan: Mommy! **hugs Akagi**

Akagi: Oh...hello sweety. Did you get the papers?

Akagi-chan: Yes Mommy. **pulls out the papers and hands them to Akagi**

Narrator: She takes the papers and looks at them.

Akagi: Great job sweety.

**hammering noises**

Kaga: What is that noise?

Taihou-chan: Daddy is working on the play area with his friend.

Taihou: It looked plain this morning. The supplies must have arrived today and they are decorating the play area. Stay away from that area, I think he and his friend want it to be a surprise, okay?

Taihou-chan: Yes Mommy.

Taihou: Good.

Narrator: They continue to relax as the commander and his assistant work on the play area. Scene shifts to the commanders.

Nobuhito: **hammers in another nail** What next?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **reading the instructions** The last thing to do is place the lid on top and then screw it down.

Nobuhito: Understood my friend.

Narrator: They lift the lid and place it on top of the box, then, the commander holds it in place as his assistant drills in the screws.

**drilling noises**

Nobuhito: One more.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **places the screw into the hole and drills it in**

**drilling noises**

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Finished. Now, help me put z toys into the box.

Narrator: They pick up two boxes and set them down next to the toy box. Then, they gently place them into the toy box. They finish in five minutes.

Nobuhito: **places a toy airplane into the toy box** Done. Now, let's get the carpet set up, then the slide.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **attaches a carpet to the floor** Yep, I am already on it ja?

Nobuhito: I'll get the slide built, since you just placed down the carpet for it.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Understood my friend.

Narrator: His assistant places the carpets onto the floor and then glue them down. Meanwhile, the commander is working on the slide.

Nobuhito: **reading the instructions** Now, attach the support beams for the legs. Okay, simple enough. **screws a support beam down with a screwdriver**

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **glues down a carpet** That is z last one ja? **walks over to the commander** Help?

Nobuhito: Of course, hold the slide down while I attach it to the base.

Narrator: His assistant holds it down as the commander screws it to the base. After all of the screws are gone, the slide is finished and they remove the empty books and trash from the play area. They come back and continue to work on the play area.

Nobuhito: Next are the walls.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: I'll get the first box ja?

Narrator: He brings it to the commander and opens it.

Nobuhito: **looks into the box** Huh? Why is the wallpaper the Sakura Empire flag?

Wilhelm von Alfred, four walls, four boxes. This one is for the back wall. I had the idea of decorating the play room like it's a royal place, so the kids get an idea of the history of the Sakura Empire.

Nobuhito: I like it. Let's get started then.

Narrator: They spend about an hour and a half putting up the wall paper. When they finish, the room is decorated with the history of the Sakura Empire, from the carpet to the ceiling and corners.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: This....is....WUNDERBER!

Nobuhito: It is. It's so beautiful. This is something I am going to put into my sketchbook and personal journal.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Already on it ja? **writing in his personal journal**

Narrator: After they write in their personal journals, they sketch the room's interior. After another hour, they finish and get back to work.

Nobuhito: Now, all that is left to do now is clean up.

Narrator: They remove all of the boxes and trash and then come back.

Nobuhito: Finished?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: There is something you forgot my friend.

Nobuhito: The kids.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Come, let's not keep them waiting forever ja?

Nobuhito: Of course.

Narrator: They leave to go find Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan. After searching for a few minutes, they find them, sitting with their mothers.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Hide, let if be a surprise ja?

Nobuhito: Of course, trick them you will **chuckles**

Narrator: The commander hides and his assistant goes into the room with faked anger.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **stomping** Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan?!

Akagi-chan: **gasps** What did I do?

Taihou-chan: I-I did do anything!

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Right you are, but wrong you are as well.

Akagi: What is it about?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: COMMANDER!

Nobuhito: **comes out of hiding** We have something to show you two! Your mothers are welcome to join, but you two have some explaining to do!

Narrator: The two girls follow the commander and his assistant as their mothers follow behind them confused but angry for what their daughters did, which is nothing.

Nobuhito: Stop! Now.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: We tricked you ja?

Nobuhito and Wilhelm von Alfred II: XDDDDDDDDDDDD

Nobuhito: What we actually wanted to show you was this.

Narrator: They step out of the way and Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan enter the play room and their eyes light up.

Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan: WOW!!!

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Ladies?

Narrator: Akagi, Kaga, and Taihou walk into the room and also become shocked from what they see.

Kaga: You two, did THIS!?

Nobuhito: Of course, I wasn't going to leave it plain.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: This....is the surprise we prepared for you girls. Welcome to your new play area ja?

Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan: THANK YOU!!!

Narrator: They hug the commander and his assistant tightly. Then, they let go and go play in the newly decorated play area.

Nobuhito: My pleasure girls.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: It is an honor to help you two, ja?

Taihou: Thank you once again Shikikan, you two Wilhelm.

Kaga: I am amazed that this was all done by you two alone.

Akagi: My, now Akagi-chan has a place to play everyday.

Nobuhito: Our pleasure.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **bows** Our pleasure indeed my friends. We'll leave them to it. We have papers to finish ja?

Narrator: The commander and his assistant walk back to the commander's office.

Nobuhito: **sits down in his chair**

Wilhelm von Alfred II: That will keep them busy for while ja?

Nobuhito: Indeed. **chuckles** But the set up though.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: XDD The kids reaction was basically; Oh no, what did we do wrong?

Narrator: After the commander and his assistant have their laugh, they get back to work.

Kawakaze: **enters the commander's office** Shikikan? Where were you?

Nobuhito: Remodeling the play area.

Kawakaze: You, built that!?

Nobuhito: No.

Nobuhito and Wilhelm von Alfred II: We built it!

Nobuhito: That should keep them busy for a while, and last a very long time as well.

Kawakaze: I see, well, I have finished most of your papers.

Nobuhito: Oh, sorry about that, I should have told you earlier.

Kawakaze: It's okay Shikikan, at least the kids have a place to play, where they can't mess up anything.

Nobuhito: Agreed.

Narrator: They work on the papers and relax or the rest of the day.
