Hello, everyone!
It's been quite a long since I've been posting here and I really miss it, so I'm here now ready to start a new story.
I guess we all have wondered how a tenth season would be like, what Monica would do as a supervisor, so that's what my main idea is: Monica in her supervisor role.
I won't use Gloria as her charge. If you remember, there's another angel she "rescued" in the 200th episode of the show and that's who I chose to be her charge. As for the other angels... well, you'll see... As I'm trying to make this as episodes, there will be different assignments, one for each "episode". I hope you like it.
Please, read and review!

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, THE TENTH SEASON

Episode 1001
"On the road again"

Prologue

A big red Cadillac parked by the coast road and a thin woman went out of the car. The sun was just rising and the first birds of the morning started to cross the sky and to wake the silence, only broken by the sound of the sea waves. The woman walked to reach the sand, taking her shoes off as she had always loved.

"Some things never change, huh?" a voice she knew and loved dearly made her smile and turn. "Old habits die hardly…"

Monica then threw herself in her old mentor's open arms and hugged her tightly. "I've missed you so much, Tess…"

"I know, baby. I've missed you too! How was your time off? You were sent to a very different part of God's country…"

"A very different indeed!" Monica then recognized another angel that was coming to meet them. "A time for thinking about a mistake the first time, a time for learning about what I'll be doing from now on this time. Besides I was in a forest this time… a forest so green and so close to a river that seemed to be humming all the time…"

"That was the idea, Monica," Sam told her. "The Father is pleased with the inner peace you found in the forest and He knows you are ready now to face this new part of your life…"

"You're giving me my first assignment then?" the Irish angel asked with the same enthusiasm she had shown ten years ago when she had known she'd be starting casework.

Tess chuckled at her excitement. "And your first charge, baby! Though you had a good practice with Gloria…"

"Isn't she my charge then? I thought…"

"It was the most obvious option, yes…" Sam interrupted, "but we think about someone else. Gloria is now assigned to a research section of casework and she's doing a wonderful job there…"

"So, who is my charge? Do I know her?" Monica asked.

"You rescued her," Sam added, "that's why it is pretty obvious she'd be a natural charge for you." Monica turned to see Tess, who was smiling. Then another angel appeared, an angel she still remembered well.

"Kelly?"

The older angel smiled and went to hug her. "Yes, Monica! Who would've thought, huh? I was supposed to be teaching you about traffic rules and now…"

"Well, it was about time that you two were back in business," Tess interrupted. She walked to Monica again. "Sam's going to tell you about your assignment now, baby girl. I just came to say hello. I wanted to see you getting your first charge too, but I gotta go now…"

"So soon, Tess?" Monica asked with a clear note of disappointment.

"Yes, baby. But you know where to find me…" Tess hugged the little angel, unable to control the trembling of her voice. "You'll do great, Miss Wings."

Chuckling at the term of endearment she had so gotten used to, Monica felt tears crossing her cheeks. "I'll try not to disappoint you, Tess. And I'll see you soon."

After a long second, they pulled away. "See you soon, Kelly," Tess told the other angel. "Sam…"

"Tess…" the supervisor replied.

The dark skinned angel had started to walk when Monica's voice was heard again. "Tess?"

"Yes, baby?"

Monica bit her lip before she decided to speak, to ask the question that has been lurking around her mind since that day she had been promoted. "Where's Andrew?"

Tess smiled and turned to see Sam. "He is on assignment, Monica," the male angel replied. "You might see him eventually…"

Monica lowered her head and said nothing.

"See you soon, Miss Wings," Tess repeated and disappeared.
