Hale Mapother: Her Story

II - Day #1 at the Base pt.1

A/N: Hello I do not own any of the Top Gun Characters INITALLY created by Paramount Plus in their movies. I also do not speak for the IRL individuals in this story. Everything is made up. None of these interactions have true interactions behind them. and none of them happened. Please note that I simply thought it would be a fun idea to write the BTS of the film of the 'NEXT' ( not really) installment in the series using a fanfiction I wrote... now that is all cleared up let's continue. 

 I woke up and yawned. The one thing about me is that once I'm up, I'm up. Which I guess I will have to get under control because we have allotted nap time. I looked over at my clock, confused as I didn't hear my alarm sound.

' 5:30' I read on the screen... "WHAT THE FUCK!" I groaned, falling back into bed. "I don't have to be up for another hour!" I groaned once more.

I sighed in frustration. "Well, I better get to it while I can". I got up and showered, making sure to look at my calendar before heading back to my room to get changed.

'Tuesday: 7:30 am, arrive at costuming for a military standard flight suit. Hair should be done before arriving at costuming. Expect makeup to be touched up but not done in the makeup trailer. 8:45 am, meeting in Meeting Room 1 with our main character flyers. 9:30 am, depart for base. 2:30 pm, arrive at base. For the 5-hour bus ride, strap in. 3:00 pm, Pass through security checkpoint. 3:30 pm Centrifuge debriefing with Naval Air Base Captain. 4:00 pm: First actor/actress in the centrifuge. 5:00 pm: Last Actor/actress in the Centrifuge. 5:30 pm: Watch Dog-Fight from students currently stationed at the base. 6:30 pm: Dinner with Dog-Fight Pilots. 7:45 pm: Training with navy soldiers at the base(working out come prepared with clothes underneath flight suit.) 8:45 pm: Meeting with Chris and team in a room at the original Top Gun Base - part of a tour now. 9:30 pm: Meet back up with pilots from earlier. 9:45 pm lights out. YES, you're staying there. So pack a bag.' I read the itinerary for today. So it looks like we are staying the night there. Wonder what the next day will hold. So I flipped to the next page. Our calendars aren't typical calendars. It's one page with what's happening on that day. Then you flip it up and hang it like a normal calendar but then you have a day on the top page and one on the bottom. With such intense schedules, it's no wonder they have come up with this system.

I read tomorrow's schedule... '4:30 am: wake up call. 5:30 am: Breakfast. 6:30 am: Morning workout - self-guided with paired-up Pilot Partner. 8:30 am: Free Time to explore base with a paired-up partner. 9:00 am: Final meeting with Naval Air Base Captain and Commander. A thank you to and from them. 9:30 am: Dismissal from Base to go back to OUR home base. 2:30 pm: arrival back at HOMEBASE. 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm: group meetings and free time. Group A: Miles, Tom, Monica, Glen, Hale + Marie (..... more groups but I skip over reading them since I was already mentioned) 5:30 pm: dinner will be served in meeting room 1. Then you will split off into another group for dinner. Group 1: Tom, Hale, Jennifer, Emily + Liliana (AKA the 'Mitchell' family) (.......) 7:30 pm: Workout session. 9:30 pm: Bedtime (or free time but make sure you have enough sleep for work on Thursday).'

"Phew!" I sighed, "It's almost as much work to simply read these schedules! Well, let's get dressed. Get packed. Do hair and makeup. Then I'll see if I have time to print these schedules out to keep on hand. Maybe I can also include military time so I don't get confused whilst on base." I talked to myself.

I went to my room to search for my typical workout gear that I would wear underneath the flight suit I would be arriving in. I decided to wear my Navy blue workout overalls underneath my suit. That way it kinda fit into the theme of where I would be. I grabbed my navy-colored duffel as well to pack some clothes in. I packed a pair of tight navy blue dress pants and black shoes, along with a nice white dress top, Just in case. I packed a few white shirts and a few pairs of black workout shorts. Along with any essentials I might need. I made sure to do as Tom suggested and put my new Paramount Workout hoodie in my bag as well. Then once dressed and packed I began on my hair.
