She saw Penny behind the bar, and as soon as she saw her she heard her yell.

"Is that Zuzi Chung i see, or am i dreaming?" Zuzi couldn't help but smile at Penny.

She went over to her and gave her a big hug, failing to notice the man Penny had just been talking too.

"So how have you been? I haven't heard anything from you since you graduated!" penny asked her while sliding a beer to her across from the bar.

"well after graduation i was immediately called into mission after mission so i didn't really have time to come back, i'm sorry." She spoke with a soft smile resting on her face.

They talked for a few more minutes before she decided it was finally time to go over to the rest of the gang. She saw hangman playing billiard with phoenix and too guys she didn't know.

For many people Zuzi was a real bitch, but once you got to know her you will quickly learn that is wrong.
She only knew those two, she of course knew who some people was because she had heard of them. Everyone here was really the best of the best. When she walked over she heard someone whispering, she couldn't give a flying fuck.

"who is this pretty lady?" she heart hangman ask, while she saw phoenix roll her eyes. "Don't care about him. I'm Natasha, call sign Phoenix."

Zuzi couldn't help but smile at Phoenix.

"I know. I'm Zuzi, call sign Panther."

"I didn't know the panther was a girl." she heard one of the boys say quietly.

Zuzi rolled her eyes.

"i'm sorry about them, that's fanboy and this is payback." Natasha introduced them.

She looked beside her , and found a guy with glasses sitting there. "What's your name?" She said pretty suddenly.

The guy looked up from the ground and at her, he seemed shocked that she had been talking to him but quickly recovered.

"I-i'm bob." he stuttered with a faint blush on he's cheek's.

"Call name?" "eh, just bob really."

Zuzi couldn't help the "oh" that came out of her mouth. She felt a bit bad. But she lost all attention to Bob when she suddenly she heard Phoenix talking to a guy in a Hawaii shirt. He looked at her.

"and who might you be?"

"Zuzi Chung, call name panther."

"Didn't know the panther was a woman." He was shocked.

"god, men."

Zuzi rolled her eyes, Natasha doing the same.

The thing everyone knew about panther was that she had quite the temper, so it was recommended to try stay on her good side. Especially in the air.

After a few rounds of more billiard and talking, getting to know each other. Someone pulled the boom box plug. She saw Rooster as she learned his call sign was sit down on a bench by the piano.

When everyone started to go over there Zuzi saw him calling for her to sit next to him.

Right after she sat down she heard him starting to sing a song she hadn't heard in years.

"You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain. Too much love drives a man insane" 

Zuzi could practically feel the memories come back as she heard him sing further in to the song.

"You broke my will , but what a thrill."

Rooster looked her directly in the eyes.

"GOODNESS, GRACIOUS, GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!"
