This is a Rick and Lisa Story. This Story is what if story. It is what if Rick Hunter was few years older and had previous military back ground. This story also happens some time after (Rick, Lisa, Max and Ben) escape and is back on board the SDF 1. This is a twist on the stories I hope everyone likes it.
Background Chapter 1
As Rick, Lisa, Max and Ben commandeer a enemy battle pod. They shoot a hole though the cruiser wall which allows the space vacuum to suck them out into space. As Rick and Ben are busy trying to steer the pod and max is busy trying to find the communication channel that works so that they can talk to SBF 1. Soon they in contact and fighters have made it to them and are getting ready to help them home.
Rick – we are going home.
Lisa – they are sending fighters to get us
Soon the 4 felt a bump and pod began to move.
Max – they got us we moving to toward SBF 1
Ben – Great, when I get back I am going to get some good food.
Rick – all you think about it food.
Ben – Not really, find a good girl (women) also, Hey Rick you got 2 good women, Minmie and now Commander Lisa Hayes ha ha ha
Rick –Ben Dixon if you tell anyone? Rick thinks to himself yeah a good women, I wonder if Lisa wound go on a date with me after we get back. Or even consider going out with me.
Lisa – It is ok Rick we manage the problem.
Soon Max and Ben both could see that Rick was deep in thought about something.
Ben – wait till they hear about our exploits.
Max – yes Ben and they are probably going to run test on us.
Rick – yeah specially Lisa and I. Since I was kicked and she was squeezed by Dolza.
Lisa – I said I was fine they better not quarantine us.
Rick – Lisa you know every time POW are brought back to base they are question but first the doctors have to check them out and give them a complete check up. Probably give all of us about 2 weeks to relax.
Lisa - Well when we get back its back to military protocol, you all remember that.
Rick- yes Commander Hayes
Max – yes Commander Hayes
Ben – yes Commander Hayes
Soon the enemy pod with the POW has been landed in the hanger bay of the SDF-1.
Guard- All Right Come out of there with your hand up.
Commander Hayes – This is Commander Lisa Hayes, I have with me Lt Hunter, sgt Max Sterling, and Cpl Ben Dixon.
Guard – Get word to Captain Gloval tell him Commander Hayes recon flight which was MIA is back, our missing people are home. Come on out Commander Hayes, Lt Hunter, Sgt Sterling, Cpl Dixon, may I be the first to welcome you home.
Claudia – This is the Bridge Lt Commander Grant Speaking how may I help you? What, who. Ok I will tell Captain Gloval. Sammie get word to Captain Gloval that Commander Hayes's Recon flight is home which included Lt Hunter, Sgt Sterling, and Cpl Dixon.
Seaman Sammie – Captain Gloval this is Seaman Sammie on the bridge. I am calling you to let you know that Commander Hayes, Lt Hunter, Sgt Sterling, and Cpl Dixon are home. They are being taken to the hospital to be examaned.
Captain Gloval – Thank you Sammie. Tell Claudia to let Commander Fokker know about this.
Seaman Sammie – yes Captain Gloval I will.
Seaman Sammie – Claudia, I mean Lt Commander Grant?
Claudia - yes Sammie,
Seaman Sammie – Captain Gloval want you to call Commander Fokker to let him know about the pilots.
Claudia – that's what I am going to do right know.
Claudia quick dials the CAG office.
CAG Office- This is Sgt Hind speaking how may I help you?
Claudia – is Commander Fokker available?
SGT Hind – Yes he is one moment.
Commander Fokker – Claudia what wrong?
Claudia – Just letting you know your little brother, Sgt Sterling, Cpl Dixon and Commander Hayase are home and are being taken down to the hospital to be checked out.
As Claudia and Fokker talk on the phone, security personnel transport the POW to the hospital.
As they get to the hospital, a news crew spots the convoy and begins to ask question.
News Personnel – What is going on? Hey that is Commander Hayase who what Mia, that is allow Lt Hunter who was MIA. Hey that's all the pilots that was report missing a few weeks ago.
Rick – Great a news crew is taking pictures?
Lisa – So let them. Why you worried Minmie is going to get jealous/
Rick – well I don't care what see thinks because we are not a couple. I have tried to get her to think about it. But all she sees is the stars. She wants to be a star more that a wife or girlfriend. Besides I think she liked me because I was not in the military and saved her on Marcoss Island.
Lisa – So what are you going to do?
Rick – Well try to find a woman that does not hate the military. I have played with the thoughts of dating you since you are such a good kisser.
Lisa – What did you say Rick? Rick are you okay? I know you almost drowned on that ship.
Rick – yeah I am perfectly fine. Why you don't like the idea?
Lisa – Lets just get use to each other, hopefully it will work out.
Soon as all of the POW are in the Hospital and are being assigned rooms
Doctor – Since Commander Hayes and Lt Hunter are going to have to stay for 48 hours for test and observation let us put them in separate rooms if we got them. If not we can let them share rooms if it is ok with them.
Nurse – Doctor I don't think we have room with single beds.
Doctor – well ask them if they don't mind.
Nurse – yes doctor.
Nurse – Commander Hayes and Lt Hunter we have a problem we don't have any rooms with 1 bed. The hospital currently does not like to put single people on the bottom floor if the new floors where done you would both have your own room. Will you mind sharing a room?
Rick – If it is ok with Commander Hayes I don't mind.
Lisa – it is ok with me the rooms have a curtain that divides us for when we need to get dressed or the doctors need to see us.
Nurse - well I will get you both a room.
Soon Rick and Lisa are in the room. Outside the reports about the team gets out to other news areas.
New Mac News – 4 missing in action / prisoner of war personnel are home safe. They were taken to the local hospital to be examined for any serious wounds.
Minmie- Rick back I need to go see him, but I got all this record deals. Oh well he will understand, he is just a friend. I do not want a boyfriend right know besides I am going to be rich.
Mean while back at the hospital, Rick and Lisa now have some quiet time to talk.
Lisa – So Rick what you going to do with you 2 weeks off.
Rick – Don't know thinking about asking a beautiful woman I know out on a date.
Lisa –Well Miss Minmie, Ms Singing star should like that.
Rick – No Lisa, I am talking about another beautiful woman and better than Minmie. This woman I am thinking about has more qualities than her. Well I was thinking about asking you out. That would be so bad would it?
Lisa – what me?
Rick – Yes I mean you. So what do you say?
Rick slowly gets out of his bed and heads towards Lisa area.
Lisa is staring right at him. She has tears of joy coming down her face.
Lisa – well I guess, yes we can try it.
Rick – Good and If Ms Singing star sees us so what. It will be Tough for her.
Lisa – I guess no more minmie, hmm
Lisa watches Rick walk back to his bed and wonder what is going on with this pilot. She still has not figured him out. Even while they were Missing in Action / Prisoner of War she notice Rick had a since of command in him like a High Commanding officer would have like he was almost a Captain. But she threw that out because Rick Hunter has never been in the Military.
Lisa – So Rick you ever been in the Military? I am just asking because you acted like you had some other kind of experience than that of a RDF pilot.
Rick – I really don't want to talk about it. Maybe we can talk about it later.
Lisa – that's fine Rick.
As Rick and Lisa talk out front in the receptionist are Roy and Claudia walk in.
Receptionist – May I help you?
Commander Fokker – I am Commander Roy Fokker and this is Lt Commander Grant, my brother Lt Rick Hunter is here, may be see him?
Receptionist – Let me check the list, Hmm, Yes both are on the list. Both may go.
As Roy and Claudia walk past the Receptionist the notice armed security guards in the hallway.
Soon they are at the door for Rick's room. They knock to see if he is up.
Rick – Come in, it is open.
Roy – Hi little Brother, Oh Crap they got both of you in the same room
Rick – Hi Big Brother yeah the hospital decided to put both of us in the same room. But we are doing ok.
Claudia – well both you looking like you doing well.
Lisa – yeah just want to get out of here.
Claudia – Well Captain Gloval is giving all of you 2 weeks off for some rest and relaxing.
Roy – yeah I was there when he told Claudia about it. He told her to tell me or tell both of you.
Lisa – what, he want us to take 2 weeks off. I go stir crazy
Rick – HAHA ! Oh man you got to be kidding me Captain Gloval did not tell you that.

Minmie as she talked began to get mad, and tap her foot.
Receptionist – Well I am sorry but you are not on the list to be allowed in.

Minmie – OH I guess I need to leave. Will you please let Mr. Hunter, I mean Lt Hunter know that I came by to wish him well.
Receptionist – yes Ms Minmie and have a good night.
Minmie quietly leaves the hospital with no other problems. Both Roy and Claudia look at each other and begin to follow.
Roy – Well come on we got things to do.
Claudia – okay
Roy and Claudia catch a Cab and head toward the base housing. Meanwhile both Rick and Lisa are beginning to fall asleep.
Lisa – Good night Rick again thanks
Rick – No problem Lisa, you are welcome.
Soon both are asleep for Lisa Hayes it is very calm night. But for Rick Hunter it is very uneasy night which he has been having a lot of lately. Rick dreams of his past service.

MSgt – No sir Captain Hunter
General – Carry on Master Sergeant.
MSgt – yes sir
The Flight of Helicopters and fighters where soon in the area, Where Captain Rick Hunter told Merlin he was going to be at. As Merlin and the other fighter pilots began to look they heard a familiar voice.
Rick – This is BAT 22 do linebacker or Merlin copy
Merlin – Bat 22 we copy eta less than 15.
Rick – Merlin we got company it going to be a hot pickup.
Merlin – copy where are the bad guys Bat 22
Rick – Merlin below us currently they do not see us. Hurry we got hurt people who need medical attention.
Merlin – copy are inbound now Bat 22
Soon Hunter could hear both the Helicopter rotor noise and jet noise. And the Somalia's Army could hear it and began to hurry and taking shot in the area where the refugee where hiding.
Merlin – Bat 22 we got you and we see the bad guys.
Rick – Merlin you are cleared in hot let them have it.
Merlin – Copy Linebacker 1 here we go
Linebacker – copy following you in.
Soon Merlin and the A 10 pilot both drop bombs high over the Somalia Army.
Somalia Army Captain – Haha they missed Let us get them now before they have time to come back.
Rick – Merlin you dropped to high, Oh dear god, Everyone get down.
As Rick Hunter gave the order to get down the entire Refugee got down. No one understood until they heard the load explosions then they heard several small explosions.
Merlin – that will take the fight out of them
Sure enough Merlin was correct. The Somalia Army turn and ran since almost all of their people where almost whipped out. And since they had never seen such ordinance dropped they thought the world had just come to an end.
Soon the people where being pick up and everyone where getting ready to leave. Captain Rick Hunter was the last person to get on the transports.
As Rick Hunter gets on the transports he starts to feel dizzy.
Rick – What is wrong with me?
Medic – Captain Hunter stay still let me check you out. I need to give you this IV you are dehydrating.
