Narrator:Takeo ended up sleeping in Eldridge's dorm, and his ships are going to have a little sleepover in Laffey's room.

*That night, after Takeo went to sleep. Enterprise went back to Long Island's dorm to check in Takeo's ships*

Enterprise:"Hello? Laffey?"

Long Island:"I win again, Ayanami."

Ayanami:"Erg...I will never surrender."

Enterprise:"Uh...hello?"

Javelin:"Oh, hey Enterprise."

Enterprise:"Where's Laffey?"

Javelin:"She's..."

*Javelin points towards a sleeping Laffey*

Laffey:"Zzz..."

Enterprise:"Well, I was going to say that you four should stay in her dorm for tonight."

Javelin:"Ok then, we will."

Ayanami:"What about the dorms?"

Z23:"Do you not have a dorm for you at your faction?"

Ayanami:"I do, but where is Laffey's dorm?"

Enterprise:"Oh, her dorm should be on the first level, it should be under the Benson class."

Javelin:"Ok! Thank you, Enterprise."

*Enterprise leaves the dorm, and heads to her room*

Enterprise:"I wonder...if Takeo got along with Eldridge..."

*She goes to her dorm, and goes to sleep in her bed*

Javelin:"Ok, we should head to Laffey's room."

Long Island:"It's been fun."

Ayanami:"I will beat you next time."

Long Island:"You will never be able to beat the ghost."

Ayanami:"The demon will prevail one day."

Z23:"Ayanami, I need your help carrying Laffey downstairs."

Ayanami:"Fine."

*They leave Long Island's room, and go into Laffey's room*

Javelin:"Ok, easy with Laffey. Make sure you don't drop her."

Z23:"Jeez...how does Takeo do this?!"

Ayanami:"Could Takeo really be that strong?"

*They put Laffey down on her bed, and they put a soda bottle next to her*

Z23:"Well, that's taken care of."

Ayanami:"What now?"

Javelin:"Let's have a slumber party!"

Ayanami:"...What?"

Z23:"Ugh...I don't think a slumber party is the best idea right now." *Yawns* "I'm getting a little tired myself."

Javelin:"O-Oh, ok then..."

Ayanami:"Javelin, tell me more about this 'slumber party'."

Javelin:"You don't know what a slumber party is?"

Ayanami:"No, I have never been to one."

Javelin:"Uh..."

Z23:"Well, let's at least get ready for bed."

Javelin:"R-Right."

*Z23 and Javelin get out sleeping bags from Laffey's closet. They set them up, and get inside their sleeping bags*

Ayanami:"...Javelin..."

Javelin:"Y-Yes?"

Ayanami:"I want to know about slumber parties."

Javelin:"R-Right...well, how do I explain this-"

Laffey:"Slumber parties are for sleeping...for Laffey at least..."

Javelin:"W-Well, slumber parties are mostly about having fun and playing around with your friends."

Ayanami:"Hmm...so we should invite all of our friends to slumber parties?"

Javelin:"Y-Yes, sort of."

Ayanami:"Where was Takeo staying again?"

Javelin:"Huh?"

Z23:"Oh no, we are not going to chase after Takeo. He could be asleep by now for all we know."

Ayanami:"But isn't Takeo a friend?"

Z23:"W-Well, that's not..."

Laffey:"Commander is Laffey's best friend..."

Ayanami:"Huh? Your best friend?"

Laffey:"Yes...commander and Laffey are inseparable."

Javelin:"I-Inseparable?!"

Ayanami:"Commander worries a lot about me, can you say the same?"

Laffey:"Laffey sleeps on commander's back...I can say I like commander's back..."

*Ayanami grabs a pillow and throws it at Laffey. Laffey dodges the pillow, picks up her own, and throws it at Ayanami. They start having a pillow fight*

Z23:"Could you all quite down, I'm trying to sleep here!"

Javelin:"Guys, stop. Stop having a pillow fight over the commander!"

*Laffey and Ayanami both stop*

Laffey:"...Sorry..."

Ayanami:"I'm sorry."

Javelin:"Phew...you two shouldn't fight over the commander like that. You know he wouldn't allow that."

Laffey:"Good point..."

Ayanami:"I guess fighting will make him angry at us."

Z23:"Just go to sleep, it would've been so much easier."

Javelin:"Alright, I agree with Nimi. Let's head to sleep now, ok?"

Laffey:"Ok...goodnight...zzz..."

Ayanami:"Alright."

*Ayanami gets out her own sleeping bag from Laffey's closet, and sets it up.*

Ayanami:"Goodnight."

Javelin:"R-Right, goodnight."

*Everyone falls asleep. During that night, outside of Takeo's room, a red paper-like cross-shaped object enters into Eldridge's room. It goes up to Takeo's ear and a voice silently start coming out of it*

Red object:"Oh...so this is the commander in person, I'm getting goose bumps just looking at you."

*A blue object that looks very similar to the red one flys up next to the red object*

Blue object:"Dear sis, you haven't even met this boy yet, how can you be so obsessed about him?"

Red object:"Oh, just look at him, Kaga...doesn't he look cute when he's sleeping?"

Blue object:"That is besides the point, dear sis. Our mission is to-"

Red object:"Your mission was to make sure no one suspects us. My mission is to look after the big guy."

Blue object:"Still...I'm having second thoughts about his involvement."

Red object:"As long a he doesn't figure out about the sirens, he should be fine trusting us."

Blue object:"What if he does?"

Red object:"Then I'll handle it. I always handle things like this."

Blue object:"Understood."

*The blue object disappears, and the red object faces towards Takeo again*

Red object:"You will be mine soon, hehehe...hahaha!"

*The red object disappears, and Takeo wakes up*

Takeo:*Gasps* "Hah...hah...hah..."

Takeo(mind):Did...did I just hear someone talking to me? Who could that have been?

*Takeo looks around and goes back to sleep. The next he wakes up in a harsh way*

Eldridge:"Commander, wake..."

*Sparks start flying out, and it shocks Takeo, waking him up*

Takeo:"Ugh! What the?!"

Eldridge:"Commander, now awake..."

Takeo:"What the heck was that?!"

Eldridge:"Eldridge, wake up technique..."

Takeo:"That was you?!"

Takeo(mind):I thought I was just struck by lightning!

Takeo:"So it's already morning?"

*Eldridge nods her head*

Takeo:"Ugh...alright."

*Takeo takes a long time to get up*

Eldridge:"Commander, going slow..."

*Eldridge pulls Takeo off the bed, and he falls to the ground*

Takeo:"Ow! Ugh..."

Eldridge:"Breakfast?"

Takeo:"R-Right, what's on the menu?"

Eldridge:"Cafeteria..."

Takeo(mind):I don't think that's a good meal.

Takeo:"Wait, there's a cafeteria."

Eldridge:"Yes...food is there..."

Takeo:"Oh, ok then."

*Takeo gets up, and gets ready for the day. He hears a knock on the door*

Takeo:"Coming!"

*Takeo opens the door to see Enterprise holding one of her outfits on a hanger*

Enterprise:"I see that you're doing nicely."

Takeo:"Y-Yeah, I'm just fine."

Enterprise:"Uh...your hair is sticking up."

Takeo:"Huh? O-Oh, that's nothing..."

Takeo(mind):This was the female Pikachu's fault!

Eldridge:"..."

Takeo:"We're on our way to the cafeteria to eat, aren't you coming?"

Enterprise:"W-Well, I can escort you to the cafeteria, if you'd like. I don't know if I'm too hungry to eat anything though."

Takeo:"Oh, thanks. Did you already eat before coming here?"

Enterprise:"N-No."

Takeo:"Oh, are you just not hungry?"

Enterprise:"Y-Yeah. I'm not used to big and healthy meals."

Takeo:"Oh, so you eat like a soldier."

Enterprise:"I-I guess you could say that."

Takeo:"Alright, I'll be glad to have you escort me."

Enterprise:"O-Oh, ok. Then let's go."

Takeo:"Uh...what about her?"

Enterprise:"Huh?"

*Eldridge is walking very slowly out of the dorm*

Takeo:"Alright, I've got you, Laffey 2.0-"

*Takeo tries to carry Eldridge, but she shocks his hand*

Takeo:"Ow!"

Takeo(mind):I guess she doesn't want to be carried around.

Enterprise:"I-I think she wants to get there by herself."

Takeo:"I-I see."

Enterprise:"Well, shall we go then?"

*Enterprise blushes a little, and holds her hand out to Takeo*

Takeo:"Uh...alright, let's go then."

*Takeo grabs Enterprise's hand, and they both head to the cafeteria*

Narrator:Next episode is going to be Takeo's departure, hopefully for real this time...(Nothing is guaranteed!) You can at least fit fanservice and progress in the same chapter for once! (Ugh...) Anyway, wait til next time!

Hey bros, it's me, the author! I'm planning on introducing some new ships in the next one so stay tuned for that, and I'm getting excited for when Takeo is going to visit the Sakura Empire, because who knows what will happen there, even I don't know yet! Well, anyway...for some reason, the memes on the subreddit have kind of been lacking, but I was able to find one that's good, so here you guys go:

Now if you'll excuse, I have to attend a funeral...for my wisdom cubes. I'll see you guys next time!
