phoenix, bob and i take off to start the simulator. we're up in the air approaching the simulation canyon. "alright guys, are you ready?"  they both say "yes" "okay, 3 minutes to mark, start the timer."

and we're off, we start to go through the canyon. "2 and a half minutes to mark, we're 5 seconds behind. we're going to have to increase our speed." i hear bob say "increasing speed" i speed up a little and we make our way through the canyon with little time to spare.

"guys, there's someone on our scanners to the right." bob says nervously, i look over to see mav incoming "it's mav, should we pull back?" phoenix asks "no, we're so close. we'll deal with him after the drop." i say firmly and we keep going

we finish the canyon and do an invert into a nose dive to the drop point "where's my laser bob?" "almost got it... GOT IT" he says and i see the laser lock "bombs away" i say with a click of my trigger and we immediately have to go into a steep climb, i see that the bombs hit our target "bullseye!"

as we climb up the side of the "mountain" our g's increase, making it incredibly difficult to keep ourselves from blacking out. i feel myself drifting in and out of consciousness. i can barely hear, let alone think. everything starts going black. we finish making the climb and maverick shoots phoenix and bob down "that's a kill phoenix. let's head back to base for your push-ups" i black out

"princess! PRINCESS" i faintly hear maverick say "oh my gosh, she's in g-lock" "i'm going after her" maverick starts to nose dive to where my plane was spinning out, he locks his missiles onto my plane in order to make the high pitched noise, hoping that i would wake up. "cmon princess!! wake up" "princess get up!!" all the sudden my eyes open, i'm headed straight for the ground.

i pull up at the last second, almost brushing the soft grass below. "princess are you okay?" maverick says frantically "yeah, yeah i'm good" "that was close" phoenix says "too close" mav replies. all of the sudden something hits mavs windshield "BIRD STRIKE BIRD STRIKE" maverick yells as he pulls up, a bird hits phoenix's engine making it catch on fire. she pulls up and tries to put out the fire, then her left engine goes out. she desperately tries to save it but eventually they had to eject from their plane.

the medics fly from base to come get them and maverick and i are forced to go back to base. i land my plane, upon exiting my plane, i look for rooster. i wanted to see him after the traumatic events of the day but he was no where to be found. since i couldn't find him, i went to go shower and change, waiting to get a report on how phoenix and bob were.

finally i get a report from mav that the two pilots, my friends, were going to be okay. he said that they would be kept at the hospital overnight just to be sure that they were okay. maverick tells me to take the rest of the day off, so i pack up my things and head for my room.

i unlock the door and immediately drop everything i was carrying onto the floor. i flop onto the bed and just sigh 'what a freaking day' i think to myself. and that's when i hear it, the sound of someone at my door, knocking impatiently. i get up and walk to the door, i open it and low and behold, bradley freaking bradshaw is standing there.

he practically bursts through the door and he just hugs me. he holds me close to him, like if he lets go i'll just disappear. he rests his hands on my waist and his head in the crook of my neck, my hands are planted behind his neck. i let out the tears that were swelling in my eyes, they poured down my face. bradley pulls back and just looks at my face, i go to wipe my tears, suddenly feeling silly for crying.
