<em>Suzu</em>herself was expecting to find herself in the beautiful tea garden she shared with<em>Ari</em>on these occasions to help cheer her up. What she got instead was both more and in certain ways a less of what she wanted. She was being shown attention by her<em>Flagship</em>but it was in the presence of others so it made her processors run a bit hot. However the chance to be this close to her flagship was more than worth the public shaming so she endured and relished it for all it was worth in. While her face didn't actually show it<em>Suzu</em>was indeed enjoying the nuzzling from<em>Ari</em>. Then the place erupted into a picnic and<em>Ari</em>called for the others to come and join them.<br/><br/>___________________________________________________<br/><br/><em>Arashi</em>herself was busy sailing alongside their new "friends" from the other fleet. The small Destroyer having taken on the duty of guarding their new charges. Plus it gave her something to do while she searched for<em>that sub</em>. She turned her head when<em>Ari</em>called them all over for some kind of picnic that was taking place on her forward number two turret. "Sweet sounds like fun." she said. While she had been sad the other ships had left the fleet the going away party for<em>Ranger</em>had been quite fun indeed so she was more than willing for this whole picnic thing.<br/><br/>___________________________________________________<br/><br/><em>Texas</em>was busy looking over her duds. She had changed her denim shorts for a pair of pants and a skirt around her. "Now dem some good looking new duds." she said doing a pirouette to show off her new clothes. She was on the outside of both<em>Alaska</em>and<em>Hawaii</em>as they plodded along. Then she heard the call out from<em>Ari</em>about having a picnic on the top of her number 2 turret. "Well that sounds like a mighty fine way ta spend aftanoon." she said then turned to the two ships and walked over to them ."Well come on ya'll let' go and have ourselves a hellaish hootnanny." she said to them with a smile.
