BLONDIE | A Bradley Bradshaw fanfic (;

ATTENTION ON DECK

I woke up to my alarm going off at 5:30am

I hop out of bed and get into my flight suit with my hair in a nice tight bun. I head over to the kitchen to see my mom already awake

"hey, what are you doing up? " I ask

"just some crazy thoughts going through my mind right now" she says with an unsure look

"oh. who was the guy who went over board last night?" 

" that was an old friend of mine. Pete "maverick" Mitchell. he's a pilot for the navy. one of the best actually" she said with a slight smile

"oh ok, well I'm headed to the base and I'll see you tonight" I tell her

"ok honey have a good first day!" she said before I walked out

I knew my mom well enough to know that something was off. she was hiding something from me. and what that is I don't know 

I get to the base and I sit next to Bradley.

"ATTENTION ON DECK!" 

I hear hear admiral bates yell

we all stand up out of respect

"good morning. Welcome to your special training detachment. you may be seated."

following the admirals instructions, the pilots sit down.

"im admiral bates."

"You are all top gun graduates. The elite."

 "The best of the best"

I saw a few pilot were smiling and getting their hopes up

"That was yesterday."

the pilots face's all went numb

"The enemy's new fifth-generation fighter have levelled the playing field. Details are few but we know that we no longer posses the technological advantage. success now more than ever."

"Half of you will make the cut. one of you will be name mission leader. the rest will attend to any reserve roles necessary"

"Your instructor is a top gun graduate with real-world experience in every mission aspect you will be expected to master."

"His exploits are legendary."

"And he's considered to be one of the finest pilots this program has ever produced."
