Episode 2

As Time Goes By

Chapter 1

Mac shuffled the items in the freezer looking for her pint of cherry garcia, she pacifically labeled it for her, to keep junior officer's grubby hands off of it. She emerged triumphantly with the pint of cherry garcia in her hand, smiling she flipped off the lid and dug her spoon in.

"A happy marine, makes a happy sailor." Harm teased from the doorframe, Mac gave him a dirty look but couldn't commit with a mouthful of ice cream.

"You should be more sympathetic, you got me into this condition." She reminded eating another scoop.

"Ouch." Harm remarked making a move for the ice cream, receiving a playful slap from Mac.

"Don't you have an admiral to pester." Mac reminded, Harm sighed as he took the second to last donut from the box and made his way out. Mac replaced the pint of ice cream and went back to work.

USS George Bush

1130 Zulu

"The strings I had to pull to get a marine as my Rio." Natalie teased as she began to download her mission into the G-50 aircraft.

"Liar, paragraph 2 section 3 of the new aircraft clause: a trained marine Rio must accompany each aircraft." Lucy recited.

"You're preaching to the choir sis, I wrote that that clause." Natalie smirked. The sister continued the petty bickering until the alarms sounded.

"ENEMY AIRCRAFT IN US AIR SPACE ALL HANDS MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS, ALL PILOTS MAN YOUR AIRCRAFT, PREPARE FOR DEFENSEIVE ACTION."

"Remind me to write a stern letter to the enemy requesting one day off from air strikes." Natalie grumbled.

"While your writing that letter maybe you could convince them to end the war." Lucy replied as both sisters slipped into their gear.

"Begin preflight sequence." Natalie instructed her aircraft. As she checked her gun, and placed them in her gun belt.

"Preflight sequence complete; new orders have been transferred, defensive action initiated." The computer chirped. One of the flight personnel on the deck waved them on to the take off strip, Natalie gave the thumbs up and as soon as the first aircraft cleared the ship Natalie was given the 'GO' sign.

"Enemy aircraft bearing 6'5'0'-class A fully armed torpedoes."

"Damn." Natalie cursed as she and her sister snapped on their oxygen masks.

"WE GOT ONE RIGHT ON OUR TAIL!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Initiate defense movers alpha lets try to shake him off, then will try to go in for the kill." Natalie ordered.

"Activating." Lucy announced.

"Vegas I got enemy air craft on my tail can you get them?"

"Negative Hammer I got two on my left wings."

"He's still on us!" Lucy reminded.

"Check sensors see if there is a cloud formation we can loose him in." Natalie ordered, Lucy searched the sensors.

"I see something up ahead, I'm not sure if it's a cloud formation or not but we can sure loose him in it."

"I'll take it, where?"

"I'm setting in the course now. We have to maintain our current speed, if we slow down were dead."

"You don't have to tell me sis!" As they entered what they believed was a cloud formation, a blinding light flashed and lightning bolts jumped around the aircraft, before spitting them out.

"Where is the enemy?" Natalie demanded.

"Not here, but the question shouldn't be where is the enemy, but where are we?" Lucy corrected. Natalie glanced out of the window to catch a glimpse of what was below.

"LAND! How'd we get over land we weren't anywhere need land!" The computer alarmed chirped warning of incoming aircraft.

"The enemy?" Natalie asked.

"F/A-18 Hornet detected." Warned the computer.

"Hornet? Those were decommissioned in 2009, who is flying one now."

"I don't know but their calling us."

"UNIDENTIFIED AIRCRAFT DISENGAGE YOUR WEAPONS AND LAND AT THE NEAREST AIRFIELD."

"They're American." Natalie identified.

"We know that but why don't they know us, and why are they flying in those classic planes, and why are we over the US?"

"I guess will have to play 20 questions later, in the mean time we better do what they say, classic plane or not they can still do some damage to us."

"Computer disengage weapons." Lucy ordered.

"Unadvisable armed aircraft within striking distance."

"We're aware of that disengage weapons." Lucy ordered again.

"Disarmed."

Once they landed marines with outdated guns surrounded their aircraft.

"Computer unlock hatch and shut down authorization code HammerBeta0408."

"Authorized-unlocking - system shut down." Lucy and Natalie slowly emerged from their aircraft, their masks still covered their faces.

"Slowly get off and step away from the plane!" Ordered one of the marines. Lucy noticed the outdated guns and the American flag patch on their sleeves, but Natalie was the first to notice the sign.

LANDON MARINE/NAVY AIRFIELD

Landon airfield was renamed in 2017.

"Take off your mask." The marine barked again as soon as Lucy and Natalie were on the ground, as they did as they were instructed they realized that the marines were just as surprised to see Americans as they were.

"Lucy I don't were in Kansas anymore."

AN Landon Airfield does not exist as far as I know. Sorry it took forever and a millenium to update but I hope y'all like this new episode, I'm really excited about this one and I can't wait to continue. Please review!!
