This is an OC story that takes place after the events of Planes Fire and Rescue, After Dusty has returned to Propwash Junction. I'm unsure wether or not He'll make a cameo later. I don't own most of the characters. Most of them are owned by Disney and are used without permission. Yankee is owned by Deadly Fangs and is used with permission. I only own Romeo and any other OCs who appear unless otherwise specified. This note is getting long. ON WITH THE STORY!

"Mmmm... Naps are niiiiice", said Romeo, waking up from a nap. He was parked in his favorite shady spot, under a large pine tree. Romeo was a Cessna 152, white with a blue stripe running from his prop to his tail. He had just started a new career as a fire fighter at Piston Peak Air Attack. Having finished his morning patrol, he was getting some well deserved rest.

Just then, the radio crackled, "Piston Peak Base, this is Yankee Bravo India. Requesting permission to land."

"Roger Yankee, you're clear to land on runway 12. Be careful coming in. We've got crosswinds upwards of five knots", Patch replied.

"Thanks Patch" said Yankee, "Oh, and if you want your share of the candy I stashed away, you better get down there fast."

"Ten roger, Yankee. I'll meet you on the Tarmac", Patch said, hanging up the mic.

"Over and out", Yankee said.

"Well", said Romeo, rousting himself from his parking spot, "I guess I'll see if I can't lend a tire unloading the supplies. As he rolled toward the hangar, he heard the distinctive exhaust note of an approaching single engine aircraft.

A short time later, a brown and white Cessna 172 landed on the runway and pulled into the storage hangar. Patch was parked just beside the hangar door, wiggling in excitement. The Cessna's cargo door swung open, and Patch started unloading the crates of supplies.

Romeo pulled up to the older plane and said "Hi. You must be the delivery guy. I'm the new S.E.A.T. Name's Romeo. Romeo Peppercorn.

The plane looked over and offered him a small smile. He held out his own tire and said, "Yankee...just Yankee... It's like "Cher"."

"Nice to meet you, Yankee" Romeo said, shaking his tire. They heard the sound of a small bag hitting the concrete floor. They glanced over and saw a bag of Gask-its on the floor.

"And there's the candy", said Yankee.

"MINE!", Patch shouted, pouncing on the bag. She scooped it up and darted back to the control tower, hollering "Mine! All mine!"

"And there goes the candy", Yankee said with a sigh.

Romeo shook his cabin and said "She's gonna take it to the tower... Cuz we can't get up there..."

Yankee said, "Meh, there are more hidden in the boxes." He shrugged his wings when Romeo looked at him. "I know how Patch works, she'll go through the boxes and take the rest of the candy if she knows about it."

Romeo nodded and said, "She just sits in the tower and listens to the radio... And drops the needle... I think she and Maru have sex when we're out at a fire... But that's neither here nor there."

Yankee nodded as they rolled out the hangar door. "She knew what she was getting into when she signed up for the job. And how is Maru doing? I haven't seen him for a while."

"He's still just as busy as ever", said Romeo, "MARU!"

"Busy!", Maru shouted back from the garage.

Yankee grinned widely and said, in a mock hurt tone, "What, too busy to say hi to me?!"

Maru put his wrench down and turned around. "Well I'll be! Yankee!"

Yankee's grin got even wider. "Hey you!"

"Long time, no see", Maru said, wiping grease off his forks.

"And who's fault is that?", Yankee said, jokingly, lightly bumping his front tire against Maru's frame, snickering when he tipped slightly. "I haven't seen you in my last two visits, you hiding from me?"

Maru shook his cab, "Last time, I was fixing my clutch!"

Yankee frowned slightly and said, "You really need to get that checked."

Maru shook his cab again and said, "It's fixed. Hell, it's BETTER than new!"

"Uh huh...", said Yankee, "Did you go see a pro about that or just use duct tape and gum again?

"I actually fixed it", Maru said, rolling his eyes, "I AM a pro!"

Yankee smiled and lightly bumped him with a tire again. "I know, I'm just pulling your wheels. I got your stuff in and I have some candy stashed at the bottom of it."

"Sweet" said Maru with a smile, "It'll be nice to actually get some candy for a change..."

Yankee nodded, "I know. Hey, I gotta go get refueled then scram. My boss doubled my quota last week."

"And I gotta get my tank on..." Said Romeo, "It's time for me to start my afternoon patrol."

Yankee waved as Maru went back to work. He looked over at Romeo, "Guess I'll see you next month?"

Romeo smirked, "Not if I see you first. Take care."

Yankee chuckled lightly and nodded, "Alright, you too. Later" and he went to get refueled.

Romeo backed onto his belly tank and pushed on the pedal to hook it on and fill it up. "Alright" he said to no one, "Let's fly." And he went to get his fuel tank topped off.

Yankee was still getting refueled when Romeo rolled over to the pumps.

"Hello again", Yankee said with a chuckle.

Romeo chuckled and said, "Funny meeting you here."

Yankee noticed Romeo's belly tank, which made him look fat... Or pregnant. Yankee couldn't help but let out a small giggle/snort when he saw the belly tank, and he turned away while trying not to laugh right out.

Romeo started refueling and said, "What? What?"

Yankee kept on giggling, looking over at him every once in a while.

"What is so funny?!" Romeo demanded

Yankee snickered and said, "Oh nothing...Mr. Mom..." And burst out laughing.

Romeo blushed and said, "I know this tank makes me look pregnant... When I get back, I'm painting this thing so it doesn't match me so closely."

"Whatever floats your boat, missy" Yankee taunted. His pump clicked off, he shook it loose and said, "I gotta fly, later miss!"

"See ya next month" Romeo called after him. He shook off the pump and shouted, "Maru! Where's the spray paint!"
