Rooster and I top gun maverick story. Rooster endgame

Part 9

I woke up and realized that I will have to tell my dad that I'm dating Rooster. I don't know how I'm gonna tell him yet but I know I have to. I'm thinking maybe after the mission because the mission is more important right now. And I know my dad is stressing right now because of the mission so I don't want to put more stress on him. But just then my dad texted me. But it wasn't a good thing. It was about Iceman. He passed away this morning. I dropped to my knees and started bawling. I couldn't lose him. Who am I gonna tell all the things I do with Rooster? Who am I going to tell what I do every day? who am I going to tell how I am doing? who am I going to tell everything to? I couldn't stop crying and asked my dad to come over. He rushed over and ran to me. I gave him a big hug and told him I couldn't lose him. I feel like my life just got better but now I just got torn in pieces. Iceman was like my brother that I felt safe with. My dad calming me down but it really wasn't working. But after a while it finally started to work and I fell asleep in my dad's arms. I know my dad is feeling worse because iceman was his best friend. I couldn't imagine what he's going through right now. What I woke up I saw Rooster. I was really confused because I didn't see my dad. I didn't really care to give him a hug. Just send the tears came back. I cried in his arms for a bit and he calmed me down much faster this time. He asked if I wanted to watch a movie to keep my mind off of it and I said yes. I told him that he had to pick a movie because I'm not good at it. We started watching footloose.(see what I did there). We were just cuddling and talking and he did very good at keeping my mind off of Iceman. My dad texted the funeral was tomorrow. I wasn't ready but I knew I had to straighten myself up. I said to Rooster " how did I get so lucky?" He smiled and said how did I get so lucky. I kissed him and then ran outside. It took a second for him to follow so I decided to hide in jump on his back. When he was in the correct spot I jumped on his back and I scared him so much. I was laughing so hard and we started to mess around. We went inside and fell sleep. Somehow we managed to sleep for a long time.

Today was the day of the funeral. Because Rooster is still here I got dressed and then we went to his house. We had a dress in our uniforms. I asked my dad if he was doing ok and he said yes. We went to the cemetery getting buried. And my dad was tearing up I felt so bad for him. I knew I had to spend some time with him afterwards. I started tearing up but I managed to keep it to just tears. Today was gonna feel like a very long day and it sucked. And my dad had the honors to stick the pin onto his casket. I had a very light smile because I knew Iceman wasn't in pain anymore. I knew he didn't have to suffer anymore. Once the just went over and I wanted to start crying. But I knew I couldn't. Once the funeral is over Rooster came and hugged me. My dad saw but I didn't think any of it.

I told my dad that I wanted him to come over again. I told him that I saw him at the funeral and he looked sad. He came over and we shared memories about Iceman he told me everything about him and Iceman and how they met and how they became friends. He said that he will never forget when Iceman told him that he could be his wing man anytime. I smiled at that because I knew that meant to a lot to my dad. I gave my dad a big hug and I wanted to get his mind off of iceman so I asked him about Penny. He laughed a bit and said they may have a thing. My eyes widened and I told him to tell me everything. He said that they always hang out now and he said that he's not gonna leave again. I was super happy for him and I told him that. And he said what's going on with you and Rooster. I didn't know what to say because I didn't want him to get mad at me. But I had to tell him. I told him that we are dating. He had no words but the look on his face said it all. I said " I know you two don't get along but he is now my boyfriend and you have to accept it ok?" He said that he was proud of me and he won't say a word about you two. I said thank you and and give him one last time before he left. I called Rooster and we talked for about an hour and then started talking bout the mission. I asked what happens if we don't get picked. He said we will and I don't think anything of it. I thought how much G force there actually was and got nervous. I knew this is gonna be a very hard mission but I knew we could do this. We are the best of the best. We started talking about other things and we just had fun on call. I asked if Phoenix and Bob wanted to join the the call and they did. We were talking for hours and hours and it helped to get my mind off of Iceman. We played all these stupid dumb games but we made them fun and we just enjoyed our time on call. We knew tomorrow was going to be one of the most important days for the mission. The upcoming week is going to be the most important days so we kept our mind off of it. I knew we could all do it we all will get picked. I blurted out that we all need to go on a double date and they laughed and said they agreed. I was happy and asked if they wanted to do it tomorrow. They said yes and we planned it all out. It was going to be fun.

I cried making this. I hated this scene in the movie.but I hope you enjoy!
