AFTER A RESTLESS NIGHT, Razor was back in the air and Dice was sitting behind her, and the pilot silently hoped that Dice would put their petty argument behind them and focus on this next hop. Because that's what Dice was so worried about anyways, Razor thought. Neither of them had spoken to each other much since that scene in the bathroom, but the tension was thick, neither of them spoke unless it was for the exercise or just a simple 'Good Morning'.

For this exercise, each duo got to choose their wingman. Obviously Razor and Dice chose Maverick and Goose.

"Don't you leave me now, Mav." Razor said jokingly, but also serious. Maverick was very unpredictable, dangerous even, both Razor and Dice knew that.

Goose scoffed, in a teasing manner. "We would never!"

Maverick was in his zone, focusing on taking down Jester and Viper. "I'm going after Viper," He paused. "Oh, and Razor, you look good." He teased, trying to throw her off.

Razor rolled her eyes, as he suddenly banked right. Dice was confused. "What the hell?"

"Mav you can't ghost us over here!" Dice reminded him, both her and Razor could hear Goose pleading as well but Maverick seemed calm.

"Okay, guess we're working without him, and that leaves us with Jester." Razor settles into her seat. "Get ready, Dice. Let's turn and burn."

As Maverick was distracted with Viper, that left the other duo to Jester. They had taken him down yesterday, but now he had a wingman.

"Holy shit, we're head to head...I can't believe we're doin' this!" Dice exclaimed, shaking her head.

Razor had made a sharp turn just in time for Jester to fly by, which gave Razor the opportunity to chase after Jester, causing him to get into a defending position.

It seemed like forever that they weaved through the mountains, Razor still barely missing the target lock. "C'mon Dice, where's he headed?"

"Couldn't tell ya! Mav, what's going on?"

No response, he must've turned off the comms.

"Oh shit, Viper's on our 6!" Dice cried. "Mav where are you?"

"Dead. See you in the afterlife, Dice." Goose was the one to reply, then shut off their comms.

Razor held on, in a dogfight with Viper, as he took the place of Jester. "Can't outrun him, what do I do?"

"Just stop." Dice suggested, it sounded quite stupid in Razor's eyes.

Razor hesitated in deciding what move they should make, taking way too long making them more vulnerable to their instructors.

"He'll already be expecting-" Just as she had taken another turn, the target lock alarm blared, Viper had 'shot' them down. What a way to go out.
