A/N: Hi guys! I'm extremely excited to start with this fic. I have had this idea for a while about Caleb being in the army and I thought this would be something different. Alternative Universe are my personal favourite fics when it comes to a ship. These chapters will be quite short as I'm going to start with Hanna and Caleb writing letters but not all the chapters will contain letters and chapters may be longer than others. The chapters will switch each time to the others perspective and there is a huge time difference of 9 hours from Rosewood to Afghanistan so I will try to make it accurate but if not there's no big deal as it's just a fanfic after all. I hope you enjoy.

Dear Sergeant Rivers,

My name is Hanna Marin. You may have heard about me from Toby Cavanaugh and Ezra Fitzgerald, I am the friend of their wives.

I hope you don't mind me writing this letter, I was talking to Spencer and Aria and they had mentioned something about how you grew up in foster care...? The girls had always talked about you and how you were the mysterious third member of the tribe with their husbands, but when they mentioned this about you, my heart cracked slightly and although we have never spoken before I just felt compelled to write to you.

I have ounces of respect for you, fighting for our country and risking your lives to keep everyone else safe. I wanted to send you this care package to show my support and appreciation for you and as a thank you. I have included some things which Toby and Ezra told the girls that you're into.

A couple of kung fu flicks: Fist of Fury and Fist of legend. I have heard you're really into Bruce Lee and it's the least I could I do for you especially as you're in the middle of a war zone. I have also included some candy in here just to keep you going. I can't even imagine what the food is like over there in Afghanistan, I can probably guess that's it's always healthy and nutritious as you need to keep your energy levels up for the fighting.

There's also a Novel that I thought you might enjoy. It's called The Killer Angels: A novel of the Civil War. It's all about the American Civil War and the story of the four day battle of Gettysburg but you probably knew that anyway. I just thought this would be stuff that you could use – although I wasn't entirely convinced about sending the movies until Aria reassured me that you had a laptop and some wifi access in your bunk. If you would like anything else, please don't be afraid to ask.

You have my unconditional respect, I hope when your term is up you arrive back home safely.

Sincerely,

Hanna.

There we go... kick starting it with a friendly introduction. Letters will get longer and more rated T/M ;) tell me what you think xo
