And one of her biggest obstacles is a blonde hair pilot with the world's most annoying smirk. Will she make the team? And if so, at what cost?

Jake was just about to go for his morning run tying his shoes and grabbing his wireless earbuds. He had opened the door mid-step before freezing and looking down. He had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Nope they were still there.

Bradley thinks he's dying. Instead of calling for any type of emergency services he calls for Maverick.

With Bob and Phoenix both in the hospital Rooster isn't doing so well, at least until the person he was least expecting arrives.

Basically everyone of the Daggers has worn one of Rooster's Hawaiian shirts at some point.

Rooster and Maverick talk about the future and the idea of expanding their family.

"They call 'em Thelma and Louise. They always fly together, never apart. They've never been caught, never been shot down... rumour has it, they even have three kills like Maverick," Jake scoffed. "Really? Now that, I doubt," Eleanora Bradshaw. Callsign: Thelma. Evelynn Mitchell. Callsign: Louise.

After being stationed in a quiet beach town, Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw becomes part of a close-knit group of friends. It doesn't take him long to discover that one of them isn't just his friend - she's so much more than that. The problem is that she has a rule: no dating soldiers.

In the aftermath of the Layton rescue, Merlin has questions...

"I honestly don't know what he would be like if he didn't have Natasha. She gave him a purpose like even I couldn't do." Carole smiled sadly, "Yeah, I feel like Goose sent her here." Ice snorted irreverently, "He did. Mother Goose got him drunk on his birthday and left him in Charlie's clutches." Ice/Mav, Hangster, Phoenix/Coyote

She wasn't sure why they called her Lucky. She had never been lucky. The irony behind her call-sign was laughable. And being sent on this detachment just showed how unlucky she actually was. When Lauren must face ghosts from her past, will she disappear again or will she finally face her demons? OCxRooster OCxHangman
