Runs in the Family

Beach day (10)

I was eating in the mess hall with Bradly and Jumbo. The doors to the caf open and in walks Bob. 
"Bob!" I scream. 

I run through the tables and into his arms. 
"Oh thank god you're okay." 
"I'm okay Hawke, I'm here." 
I hug him tight. 
"What about me, huh?" 
"Nat!" I yell, giving her a massive hug. 
"Scared the shit out of me," I say into her shoulder. 

Bradly, Hurricane, Jumbo, Mustang and even Hangman all came and gave Bob and Phenix a welcome back.
"Hey Bob?" I hear Hangman ask.
"Yeah?"
"Do you and Hawk have a thing or something, like why was she so friendly?" 
"Where have you been Bagman?" Nat asks.

"Alright Aviators, today we are not taking to the skies, we are taking to the sands." Mav says to the class. 
I look at Nat, Bob and Bradly and we exchange confused glances. 
We flew back out to the main land and Maverick lead us to the beach outside of Penny's bar. 
"The game is dogfight football, offence and defence at the same time on both teams. Split up, Bradshaw siblings I want you two on opposite teams," Maverick looked smug.
"It's on Bradshaw." I look at my big brother, who was in fact bigger than I was.
"Bring it." 
"Rooster!" Nat calls from our side of the beach. 
Bradly's head snaps back to us and Nat points at him, he takes two fingers points at his eyes and then back at us. 

I set up as snaper for my team and Maverick sets up for the other team, Hondo blows the whistle and everyone goes nuts. There is two balls flying over the beach, people run, some fall into the sand. Eventually Maverick goes and sits down on the beach with Penny and allows us to play on our own. After a bit we stop keeping track of score and just fuck around for a couple hours. 

Bradly chucks the ball to Jumbo, he throws it so hard he jumps up and when he lands he shimmies in his place, I laugh, that is something I could see my dad doing.

The ball comes flying to my end of the beach, I go to catch the ball but it goes wide from Hangman's throw, I end up face first in the sand and Bob catches the rouge ball. My face pops up from the sand and I gasp, 
"Bob!" I scream.
He looks shocked at the ball and everyone loses it! Bradly comes and lifts him on his shoulders, they all chanted:
"BOB BOB BOB BOB!" 
I beamed with pride, Bob was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. 

The sun was setting and we decided that it was time to head back to base. But before all the aviators even Mav decided to stay for a beer.
