	Sakura clapped her hands together and then shot one hand forward, creating a peace sign at Rika. [color=fff79a]"Rika it is! Awesome! Hi there, Rika, my name's Sakura! In Japanese, Rika means 'always strong.'"[/color] Then she shook her hands quickly back and forth, a chill running up her spine. [color=fff79a]"Wow! I just got goosebumps!"[/color] She said, beaming. The process of Rika choosing her first name for the first time was one Sakura was emotionally invested in.

	As she stood up to make sure everything outside the room was copacetic, Seaplane Tender thought about who she would like to be. She seemed very interested in France. It made Sakura feel bittwersweet emotions. Would she ever get to see France? Maybe. But the fact that Seaplane Tender already had something to think about besides warfare made her young heart soar. Having a dream was one of the best things a person could have.

	Sakura turned over her shoulder at the Seaplane Tender as she chose her name. [color=fff79a]"I- I love it! Bella Navire. Flows right off the-"[/color] Sakura peaked back out the bedroom door and gasped in surprise and horror. It was a ship girl with the greenest hair Sakura had ever seen!

	Sakura slammed the door and frantically signalled for Rika, Bella, and Ranger to hide in the back corner of the room. 

	[color=fff79a]"There's someone coming! A ship girl! Uh oh! Uh oh!"[/color] She whisper-shouted, voice quiet and strained. Her heart was beating a million miles a minute. This panic was on a level that surpassed the deadly battle she had recently participated in. Sakura kept her back against the door, holding the doorknob. She was the worst liar she knew. Ranger might know it, from their brief combat encounter on the sea. 

	[color=fff79a]"Keep quiet! Shush shush shush! Stop panicking!"[/color] She put a finger to her lips and failed to convince anyone that she wasn't panicking. [color=fff79a][i]"O tto, o tto, o ttooo...!"[/i][/color]  She exhaled her fear in her native tongue. This was a situation she couldn't punch her way out of. In other words, it was a situation she didn't have the solution for. If that bright-eyed, affable shipgirl stumbled her way into a room full of Abyssal looking people, what would happen? What Sakura be able to just smack her hard enough before she made too much noise? If she screamed or got a shot off, it wouldn't matter if she got Friend Hearted because other people would come to investigate! A conga line of doom!

	[color=fff79a]"Don't worry, don't worry! I'll keep the door shut! Just stay hidden! Hide under the beds, under the blanket! No, wait, don't! Shush! Shush! Keep your voices down!"[/color] Sakura pressed her back against the door, keeping it closed. She held her breath, her cheeks ballooning. Had that green-haired girl seen her? She did, right? She seemed nice. Maybe if Sakura just kept the door shut, she would respect their privacy? But she was a soldier! COME BACK WITH A SEARCH WARRANT, COPPER!
