**DISCLAIMER**

This here is your basic film re-write.but with several changes..all of which will be revealed during the course of the story.all rights belong to their respective owners.I do not own Armageddon or its characters.

A/N: Certain inaccuracies may come up when I am speaking about war memories from the first Gulf War.but try to be easy on me, I was only five when that happened.and to add to that I'm British so I don't know too much about the American army.

It was just another day at the Johnson Space Centre, Texas for astronaut/instructor Jennifer Watts.she'd been having one of those afternoon where no-one seemed to take any notice of her.but then again.being the only female instructor to a large group of young and cocky pilots.

She didn't quite feel as if she were an object of desire to the younger generation of astronauts-in-training, but then again at thirty-two after being in the profession of piloting for fourteen years.it does take away a woman's feminine side a bit.

But let me give you a little more background before I go on with the story.Jennifer Louise Philips joined the US Air force when she eighteen, back in nineteen eighty three...during the Gulf War in 1990-1991, she served the forces in Iraq from an American air base twenty miles outside of Basra.

In the middle of one raid on an Iraqi arms base, she was nearly killed, when the engine on her plane was shot at and taken out by a local rebel force.she crash landed in the desert surroundings and was thrown clear from the wreckage. She woke up three days later back at base.

During her time in Iraq, she fell in love with and married fellow pilot Matthew Watts, who saved her after her crash landing that time, but when she fell pregnant with her daughter Amanda.she was sent home, back to New York.

Eight weeks before she gave birth to Amanda however, Matt was sent on another raid on the far side of Basra.he was shot down.and killed in the ensuing crash.

Jennifer was devastated...yet she still went on to raise Amanda alone for a year until she decided to quit the Air Force and live out Matt's life long dream.to be an astronaut.

So now.almost six years later.she has gone through all the training and testing she needed to and is a fully qualified shuttle pilot.Amanda is five now.coming round to six in September. As for being a single parent, well not for much longer we hope...for the past four years she has been enjoying a healthy, steady relationship with NASA administrator Dan Trueman.and I have a feeling he's going to propose soon, but we shall see.
