Unless there are other novels in existence, then this collection should be the one I'm referring to. (And if someone would like to correct me in this aspect, please do.  )
It looks like Tak called it after all. It seems he's got some gloating sessions to look forward to considering how no one took his enraged pleas about Alto and Sheryl's smexy time seriously after the episode had aired. 
With that said, I-I don't think I've managed to recover yet from the sheer fangirliness of that vol 4 scene. It's certainly a treat and I think I just fell a little in love with them all over again. The aftermath and how they just couldn't keep up the subtle mood without breaking into a catfight, it's just so them and it's exactly how I've figured it to play out if they ever did the deed.  That was hilarious and adorable.

A belated reply, but you'll have to forgive me as I've been avoiding all things Macross
. I was in agreement with Tak about them having sex in that ep. I even mentioned how the camera pans up!
Looking back through the thread I see people who are skeptical of whether AlaAlba was making stuff up, well I skipped to the good part in volume 3 and checked. He wasn't lying. Sheryl heard a lullaby as they embraced and the scene shifted to Ranka and Banana. When the episode first aired I posited that Ranka heard Sheryl and Alto doing their thing, but I turned out to be wrong! It seems that she was serenading them!
