Ashley stirred awake from her sleep as she saw the outline of a person sitting on the chair next to her bed
"Hi..." Robert's voice spoke as Ashley opened her eyes and sat up slowly
"Hey" She greeted back
"Look, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to cause your plane to burn out and crash" Robert apologised
"It's okay. Rob, you need to know that I'm only thinking of you. You're my baby brother─"
"─of five minutes..." Robert interrupted, causing him and Ashley to chuckle
"...I promised dad that I'd always protect you and I seem to be doing a rubbish job" Ashley spoke
"I know" Robert spoke, taking a hold of his sister's hand, before embracing her in a hug, which was much needed for them both.
The following week, Ashley had fully recovered from her small case of hypoxia and was now given the all-clear from the nurse and the commanders to fly again.
It was currently early Saturday afternoon as she headed down the corridor as Iceman and Slider stepped out of the locker room
"Hey Ash! It's great to see you up and about again" Slider spoke as he spotted the girl
"Thanks, Slider" Ashley smiled, before looking at Iceman
"I'll be outside" Slider spoke, patting Tom on the shoulder and smiling at Ashley before heading outside, leaving the two alone
"Hey" Ashley spoke
"Hi how are you feeling?" Tom asked
"Much better... Rob said about how you looked out for him during my time in the medical centre"
"It's no problem. We got on during flight school, why not now?" Tom spoke
"I'm grateful he has you and the others..." Ashley spoke, "You should go. Don't want to keep Slider waiting" She spoke. Tom gave her a small smile, hesitantly moving down the hallway and outside. Her smile faded as he disappeared through the door.
"Hey Ashley!" A voice shouted from behind her, she turned as Goose and Maverick stalked down the hallway
"Hi!" Goose immediately hugged the girl
"How are you?" He asked
"I'm better now" She responded
"Fancy heading down to the beach in a bit?" Goose asked, both Maverick and Ashley
"I've got somewhere to be, Goose. I'll see you guys soon" Maverick spoke as he left, pulling his sunglasses on his face
"Charlie?" Ashley questioned
"I guess so. So, are you up for it?" Goose asked
"Of course. Come on" Ashley spoke as she and Goose moved down the hallway and towards his truck.
Tom and Slider headed down to the bar that afternoon and ordered their usual drinks
"So, what's with you and Ashley?" Slider asked
"How do you mean?" Tom questioned his RIO
"Well, I know you like her" Slider spoke, which caused Tom to stop what he was doing for a brief second
"I do not" Tom lied. He did truly love her, ever since their kiss a few weeks ago, and his love only grew more and more, especially after he watched her being taken off to the medical centre, weak and unwell.
"Dude, you do. I've seen the way you look at her, with a slight glint in your eye. Chicks, like Ashley, don't come around often, especially ones who are trained pilots. Tell her how you feel, otherwise you might lose her forever" Slider spoke.
Tom and Slider continued to drink their drinks for a while as Ashley and Goose arrived at the bar, following their intense game of volleyball against Hollywood and Wolfman
"Well, seeing as though you boys lost, it's your round" Ashley spoke
"Feisty" Hollywood joked as he turned to the bartender, ordering four beers for each of them, as well as buying another round for Tom and Slider
