Enterprise yawned as she awoke, for some reason enjoying the silence that filled the room. Sure, there wasn't Langley's soft snoring. Or Lex's muttering in her sleep, sounds which that the Yorktown girl had become accustomed to.

But where she missed what she was used to, she knew she had something else to look forward to as well.

And simply put, that thing to look forward to was Akagi herself. And their new found relationship.

And as Enterprise awoke fully, sitting up as she yawned, she only smiled to herself as she sat there a moment before shaking her head. Her smile still present, she got a towel from her dresser as she began to set out her outfit for the day.

Which, like most other days, was to be her uniform. Actually, now that she looked at her wardrobe, most of it was uniforms. She didn't have very much in terms of her own clothes. Much of her stuff had been given to her by the Navy. Not that she was complaining though.

Yawning, she went about stripping away her clothes before wrapping the towel around herself. Yawning again, she collected her shower amenities as she walked out of the room.

As she stepped into the hallway, she once again found the silence somewhat relaxing. Well, scratch that. It was partial silence since if Enterprise listened hard enough, she could hear a few of the new six girls moving about.

She had met the six yesterday at dinner. Since it was only the second day since the fleet's had left, the base was still rather calm. So it gave ample opportunity to meet the new girls. And Enterprise wasn't exactly sure how she felt.

Sure, on one hand, they had more girls. Four cruisers and two battleships. Not by any means a weak force. Especially since they were sisters.

But on the other hand, was it really that hard to ask for Hornet or York to come through? Honestly? That's all she wanted.

As she walked up to the bathroom door however, she did encounter one interesting thing. The North Carolina sisters had taken the room across from the Midway's at the end of the hall. And the fact that Enterprise could hear snoring through the door of said battleship's room, she couldn't help but chuckle before walking inside the bathhouse.

Opening the door, she was immediately met with an onslaught of steam, as the room seemed to already have occupants.

The American Dorm's bathhouse was of a fairly simple design. The room was rounded, showers lining the wall. And in the middle sat a simple relaxation bath. And as Enterprise walked in, she saw that the relaxation bath had a few spots taken.

"Hey E. What's brings you up so early this morning? You know there's nothing going on right?" Oakland asked as she looked to the carrier. Enterprise nodded as she walked to the first shower on the right, placing her amenities inside before closing the door and removing her towel and hanging it over the door.

"Yeah I know." She said, looking back at Oakland, who was next to Reno, as she turned on her shower, flinching slightly when she felt a rush of cold water hit her back. "But I'm getting up this early because I'm planning to meet Akagi at Houshou's." She replied. Oakland nodded in sudden understanding.

"Ahhh, Young love.... It's so fragile and delicate... Yet so wondrous in it's many mysteries..." She mused. Enterprise only cocked a brow as she felt the water hitting her naked back slowly began to heat up.
