And another Jane and Arizona omake:
_______________________________________
Hearing the door to her room open, Jane looked up to see an exhausted and frazzled looking Arizona. The battleship stumbled over to Jane's bed and collapsed into it face first. For several moments, Jane just stared at her before she got up and walked over. "Arizona?" Poking her, all she got was a groan in return. "Arizona?"
Once more, Jane poked her but only got a muffled mumble. A nervous chuckle caused Jane to turn to see an embarrassed Mutsu. "Hey, maybe we went a bit too far...~"
Her cheeks puffing out, Jane set her hands on her hips. "What did you do?"
Even though she found the image cute, Mutsu only scratched her cheek. "We went out shopping and it looks like we went a bit far..." Getting a snort from the facedown battleship, Mutsu coughed. "I'll... Go downstairs..."
Still frowning, Jane watched as Mutsu left and closed the door behind her. Turning around, Jane got up onto her bed and attempted to flip the grunting Arizona. Eventually she managed and then straddled Arizona's stomach, the battleship just staring at her as the only sign she was alive was her breathing. "What happened?"
There was few moments before Arizona answered her. "The Admiral's gift is what happened."
Blinking, Jane tilted her head. "Daddy's gift to you?"
With a tired sigh, Arizona only nodded. "Apparently the fact he gave me a... iPod caused Mutsu and Hiei to drag me around to find the 'Perfect music' for me." Groaning, she threw one arm across her eyes. "Needless to say, the two of them had very different ideas of what music would fit me... Especially as Hiei was a fan of some group called 'The Beetles'. And the less said about the fight between her and Albacore over the Rolling Stones, the better. Mutsu was more into... And then Jintsuu just now gushing about her sister and something called 'J-Pop'."
Eyebrows furrowed, Jane crossed her arms. "So you didn't find any music at all?"
Just barely raising a hand above the bed, Arizona tilted it from side to side. "The Admiral did point me toward a singer called Frank Sinatra." Some redness rose in her cheeks as she smiled. "The Admiral did a good job of guessing there, it reminds me of music from when I was a ship."
Head tilted to the side, Jane blinked. "Oh."
Noticing the expression on Jane's face as well as how she shifted a little in place, Arizona sighed as she gave the little girl a tired smile. "Let me guess, you think that you know some music that I might like?"
A nervous smile was on Jane's face as she nodded. "Um, yes?"
While she shook her head, Arizona sighed as she made to get up. "Very well then..." Slightly surprised as Jane put a hand on her shoulder to stop her from getting up, Arizona raised an eyebrow. "Jane?"
Giggling, Jane shook her head. "I'll get my laptop."
Arizona only shifted until she was more on the bed and watched as Jane grabbed her laptop, earbuds, a pencil and notepad. Then she got back onto the bed and crawled until she was beside Arizona and cuddled up to the battleship. If anything though, Arizona became more amused as Jane plucked the shipgirl's cover off and put it on. "You done, young lady?"
With a grin, Jane handed her one of the earbuds which Arizona put in as she placed the other one in her ear. "Yup!" Bringing up YouTube onto her laptop, she frowned for a moment. "What was that band that guy at our old base liked? Um... CCR?"
Simply watching, Arizona blinked as Jane typed in the letters. 'This... Would have been a lot simpler to do.' Then she frowned a bit as she caught sight of one of the song names. "Lookin' out my back door?"
Humming, Jane nodded as she clicked on it. "Okay." Several seconds into the song, Jane held back a giggle as Arizona's foot twitched to the beat of the music. "You like it?"
After a few moments, Arizona nodded a bit. "I do..."
It was a few hours later that found Richardson looking into the room to find the two asleep, Jane cuddled up into Arizona's side. Walking in, he gently took the notepad beside Jane and looked at it. 'Hmm... Creedance Clearwater Revival... Lynard Skynyrd... Interesting choices.' Putting the notepad onto the side table, he took the now powerless laptop and put it back onto Jane's desk before he left.
Though not before he took a picture of the two sleeping for posterity's sake.
