So...I got a silly little semi-canon, semi-non canon omake that was on my mind cause I like I said I got back into building model kits though I did add a little bit of character at the end so hopefully this is a fun little read for everyone.

Gambier's Weird Dream
A certain floofy haired escort carrier smiled happily as she sat in the pilot seat of a USN F-4 Phantom II while her boyfriend sat behind her as her radar operator as she took him out on a cruise flight. She wasn't sure how she managed to convince her superiors on greenlighting this but that didn't matter as she increased the thrust to the engines and climbed up into the sky. While Gambier Bay's fairies were trained on the upgraded versions of the Grumman Wildcat she was able to fly more advanced planes herself such as the so called "Triumph of thrust over physics" she was currently in. Over the radio, she heard an excited 'Woo' as she and her backseater climbed rapidly.
"Alright, we're going to be leveling out at 18,000 feet and then gain airspeed. So get ready to go supersonic okay! You're gonna love this" Gamby said with confidence as the jet fighter reached the desired altitude and she banked the wings a bit to help level out the aircraft.
"Copy that Gamby, though I'm gonna enjoy this now matter what since you're here," came the response, causing the blond to blush slightly. Still she pushed the aircraft faster over the ocean, reaching a solid 80% of the speed of sound when suddenly her radar operator came through the radio.
"Hey, Gamby? This radar system is fully online and functional right? Because it's showing something coming at us fast...from our 4 o'clock!" came his steadily worried traffic as her eyes widen in surprise. That couldn't be right because she knew there wasn't supposed to be another flight near this flight path and they were still very much within sight of the California coast so it shouldn't be Abyssals. Still her instincts kicked and and her first priority was to spot the bogey and second was to make sure that the two of them were safe. She cranked her head back trying to spot the radar contact and when she saw a flash of bright red Gambier Bay rolled the plane over to the right harshly.
As she finished her aileron roll she looked up to her 2 o'clock and felt her heart drop. There, easily going faster than the speed of sound was a bright red MiG-21 with black stars painted on its wings as it clawed for more altitude. This was her worst nightmare, this bogey now became a bandit. Gambier Bay now had one objective, make a break for San Diego and to get the two of them to safety.
"Hold on! Try and get the ATC on the radio, I'm giving it everything she's got!" Gambier Bay declared as she gained a determined look on her face, she wasn't going to let anyone down this time. She had too much riding on this and she wasn't going to lose someone so close to her if she had anything to say about it. Not this time.
Gamby rolled the F-4 to the right and dove towards the ocean and engaged the afterburners. Quickly she and her backseat felt the G's hit them hard as they accelerated, the fuselage rattling as the crack of a sonic boom would have been heard and she yanked the stick into her gut. She could hear the groaning from behind her as the two of them pulled hard G's but she managed to level out about 3,000 feet above sea level, over 1,000 mph and kept the afterburner going. She could make it, she knew she could make it to more friendly airspace.
"Bandit launched missile! Break, Break!" her boyfriend called out, fright clear in his voice as Gamby did just that, rolling right and giving the elevator all it was worth. Luckily her efforts were rewarded as the missile streaked past them.
"This isn't going to be enough Gamby! We need to transform, hold on!"
"Wait, WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN TRANSFORM!" Gambier yelled over the radio as suddenly the cockpit twisted and the wings folded in odd directions. She felt the fuselage shift underneath her feet as well and soon she feels the entire aircraft settle in a completely different form still flying through the air.
"Behold! THE PHANTOM BAY!" came the triumphant battle cry from her longhaired companion as she now sat underneath him in the pilot's chair.
Looking through the now futuristic screen she saw the mecha (which was too big to be from the F-4 they were just in) had a twin Vulcan cannon set up on it's right forearm as well as a third Vulcan mounted over the shoulder. On it's left hand it had a missile module as well as small thrusters that came from nowhere on its legs and feet. All of which made no sense as she was flying an unarmed Phantom.
"Gamby, you handle flying I'll handle the weapons! Now break left!" the now weapons officer said as Gambier did just that, dodging an incoming missile. Looking down she now noticed that the controls of the mecha were different as well as she held a glowing golden ball in each hand yet she flew the mecha skillfully.
"Alright, here he comes! For a gun run, get ready to dodge at the last minute and I'll get the shot in"
"Gotcha...I'll get it done!" Gambier yelled back as she concentrated on moving just enough to dodge the cannon rounds heading at them. The two of them knew that the MiG would need to get close to really make use of it's gun. The escort carrier could hear her boilers running hard in her ears as she looked at the Soviet built plane and as it flew at them near it's top speed she hit the controls for the thrusters and side-dashed to the left and swung the body around.
"Gotcha bitch!" came the confident response the mecha's right arm tracked the jet fighter and the Vulcans roared to life as hundreds of rounds ripped through it's fuselage. It burst into intense flames as it spiraled out of control towards the ocean and the two pilots sighed in relief.
"Ha...that was close. Good job Gamby, you really are the b- wait...I've got another contact on radar GAH!" he started to say when the mecha rocked and warning lights came on as damage readings came up in front of them.
Looking up they saw that there was a large spaceship that had fired a beam weapon at them and was bearing down at them. Gambier Bay tried to get the mecha to fly out of its range but it's controls were sluggish and the thrusters were having a hard time picking up power. The Phantom Bay's armor wasn't going to stand up to a lot of punishment from a proper warship.
However, a bright light was seen above them and powerful beam of energy impacted the warship and powered right through it. Soon explosions were seen erupting around the hull when it suddenly it's reactor detonated and the ship was ripped apart by the sheer explosive force. As Gambier Bay worked the controls to keep the Phantom Bay steady through the shockwave though thankfully the thrusters finally came back online and she was able to fly out of the way of the debris. As they flew up and above where the ship was they saw a Gundam transform into a jet and fly away.
Then all around them the surroundings melted away as they could hear the roar of a cheering crowd as they looked at the platform where their model was standing. Looking around even more confused than before she let out a startled yelp as she was lifted up by her boyfriend's sweeping hug. Still in the corner of her eye she saw another young woman picking up the model of Wing Zero and with a confident smirk walk away.
"We did it Gamby! We did it!" came his happy voice as he spun her before putting her back down. Still she was glad to see the look on his face of them winning whatever they were doing and just as she saw him lean forward she felt as if she was falling down.
"Huh?" came Gambier's confused and groggy response as she woke up suddenly in her bed. The blond escort carrier blinked as she tried to get used to the darkness. A quick check of her bridge told her it was still early, around 0400.
Finally as she got her bearings, she took a look around her room and saw on the table the model kits that were being worked on by the two of them. She smiled as she remembered that she had managed to find a store that still had a good selection of Gunpla, or Gundam plastic model kits, so close to Christmas. Granted as she, White and Shin'you browsed the rows of boxes Gambier Bay noticed that most of the kits were of the ones more popular in the States and the West than in Japan but that made sense as it was one located in Yokosuka after all. It did mean that she could find a good Gundam that were more familiar to him. Finally she settled on two kits in Wing Zero and HeavyArms Custom and got ready to get them sent back.
It turns out her present turned out to be a couple of model kits as well as he had gotten her both a F2M-2 Wildcat and a F-5 Tiger along with paint and custom decals so that it could fly the colors and squadron numbers from her own air crew. Gambier had a smile that lit up her face when she opened the kits. She knew full well that her hull and flight deck weren't suitable even for late war aircraft let alone the powerful jets that would come to define air power. Currently, South Dakota was thinking that she and her sister ships through copious use of MSSB could possibly fly the F8F Bearcats. But with these she could say that her crew could get a supersonic jet on her deck. It was a bit silly, yes but it was a nice thought when she realized that he had wanted to build all four of them together.
She admitted that she snorted before breaking out into giggles as her boyfriend nonchalantly said he didn't trust his own hands to not snap the plastic. Looking over to the door to her small living room area she giggled as he insisted he'd sleep there as to not give her Taffy mates more ammo to fire at him. However all of this also brought another shopping memory to mind when a few certain battleships got wind of her shopping for her boyfriend and declared that'd help with making sure 'they're youthful love will burn bright over the winter holidays' and she blushed when she realized far too late she had been dragged to a swimsuit shop. Luckily White was there soon enough to help her out of that jam.
Still, figured she'd go back to sleep for a while longer. Tomorrow she was going to take him to the Summoning Ceremony on base and she'd had to help escort him and a few other to where the view area was. She fell back asleep with a smile on her face as the thought of being able to spend the afternoon with him again.
----------------------
As a quick note, I'll probably do a couple other silly or cute thing before getting back to Solie and the CDP stuff as well as including Trieste. Granted that doesn't mean that the silly can't include Trieste and others such as the Smols as I've been a bit behind actually writing them for a while now.
Either way, what do you guys think?
So...I got a silly little semi-canon, semi-non canon omake that was on my mind cause I like I said I got back into building model kits though I did add a little bit of character at the end so hopefully this is a fun little read for everyone.
