Sophia Mitchell all but ran into her apartment, she had just got back from a meeting with her Admiral who had informed her she was being deployed back to the mainland.

She had been flying with her squadron in Hawaii for about 6 months now, but she had just been informed that she was being re called back to Top Gun. Sophia had graduated top of her class three years ago, something she was extremely proud of, she had some of the best times of her life whilst in the Top Gun programme, she made so many new friends and got to do it all with the number one man in her life.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by her phone ringing loudly from the kitchen. She walked over to it smiling at the name on the screen. She pressed the answer button. "Hello?" she feigned knowing who was on the other end.

"Hey pretty girl" The caller bellowed down the phone.

"I'm sorry who is this?" Sophia smiled from her end.

"Oof is this the reception I get from my best girl"

"It is when I haven't heard from you in 2 weeks" Sophia took her phone back in to her room setting it on her dresser and pressing the video call request button. Within seconds she saw the handsome face of her best friend.

"Hey Rooster, looking good" Sophia smiled at the man on the screen, he was laying on his bed one arm flung over his head.

"You too angel, I'm sorry I haven't called, it's been a bit crazy here" Rooster watched as Sophia was walking around her room. "What are you doing?"

"Umm I'm packing, they are sending me back to the mainland, guess who's been called back to Top Gun?" Sophia smiled hoping that the man on the other end of the phone was called back too.

"What no way, when did you find out?" Rooster asked.

"About an hour ago, I'm guessing from your questions you aren't coming?" Sophia looked back at the phone hoping he would say he had.

"Nope, I've heard nothing, guess they don't want someone who finished third" Sophia's heart dropped slightly, she was hoping she was going to get to see him again, it had been over a year since she saw him last and since she had been deployed in Hawaii, she knew her chances were even more slim.

"Oh Brad, don't say that your still the best, I was hoping I was going to get to see you again, its been way too long" Sophia had stopped packing and was now laying on her stomach on her bed whilst looking at the phone.

"I know baby, I miss you so much, hopefully I may get to see you before they ship you back out to Hawaii" Rooster smiled into the camera. The two chatted a little while longer before saying goodbye, Sophia needed to finish packing ready for her flight that evening. As she hung up she couldn't help but feel sad that she wasn't going to be doing Top Gun a second time round with her best friend.

Little did she know. Rooster had a secret up his sleeve.
