6/28/2012 Just a quick note, I called the real "Michael" and he is currently flying his helicopter, fighting the Colorado fires.

Katlin is living her dream as a Helitak Foreman, in Yellowstone National Park, but for one thing. For two decades, she's searched for the one that got a away. A young pilot she was desparately in love with when she was 19. She knows that someday she will find him, but is giving up hope, when he walks back into her world, as a volunteer Army Blackhawk pilot, during the worst fires Yellowstone has ever seen. Can they clear up the past and start new? Is the spark still there or is he happily married by now? 

This is my first shot at a full-sized novel. This is an adult read and is semi-autobiographical. Kat and Michael are real (names changed) and so are the stories about their life in Ft Rucker, AL (to the best of my memory, anyway). Tony Becker, from Tour of Duty, is pretty much a ringer for a younger Michael. Tony has the same piercing blue eyes as "Michael". The background story, of the Yellowstone fire is also true, although it happened in 1988. Whenever you see a date, this is fact pulled from various sources, news, briefings, and personal accounts. I tried to give you some history on the fire and tried to portray Helitak for what they truly are. There are firefighters, hot shots, smoke jumpers and Helitak. Little is written about them, so I did my best. Hope you make it through the history lesson some of you may find it boring, but I think it will be a pretty good romance. - Kadee

*UNDERGOING EDITING AND SMALL CHANGES RANKED #1 IN #DADSBESTFRIEND TROPE My gaze was fixed on Weston, wanting to look away so he didn't see me but unable to, and so when he whipped his head in my direction, he looked me square in the eyes. I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds. Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I. •~•~•~•~•~•~••~~• Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair. Her father divorced the woman, but it was too late to save the families finances, and before they could even begin to get back on their feet, Daniel Blackwood is deployed to the middle east, leaving Avery with her wealthy cousins to try and acclimate to an environment foreign to the one she was raised in. The pressure builds until Avery makes the choice to leave, her destination over halfway across the country; her brothers ranch in southeastern Colorado. The only obstacles-she has fifty dollars to her name and no car, and her controlling aunt standing in the way. Influenced by a childhood of war and action movies, Avery, armed with a bowie knife and determination, simply heads out the back door and doesn't look back. She isn't expecting her envisioned trek across America to end so soon; a chance meeting with a family friend and neighbor who feels responsible for his friends daughter causes her to alter her plans. Within the few days she is with Weston Travers, she falls for him, and falls hard, but falling in love with someone ten years her senior may not have the fairytale ending every girl dreams about.

I'll probably say yes, but you'll have to credit me please.. And please no stealing my OC's faceclaim.. For a Ricky FanFic anyway. :) Curse words are censored, up until I finally decided I didn't give a fuckle puck. ~ "I don't like you, and you don't like me." I started, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes slightly. "And that is something everyone has noticed, recently. Especially Chris." "Congratulations," His voice dripped with sarcasm. "You managed to figure that out. I'm proud of you!" He clapped with mock enthusiasm. Digging my nails into my biceps to keep from slapping that stupid look off his face, I continued. "Chris wants us to try to get along." "Yeah, we'll see how that brilliant plan works out." He rolled his eyes, turning to walk away. "F.cker." I spat hatefully. "B.tch." He spat back, whipping his head around to glare at me. I glared right back. F.ck, I hate him. ~ Cast: Chrissy Costanza as Mykailla Bates. (A couple years younger) Daren Kagasoff as Michael "Micah" Bates. Unless stated otherwise; alllllllll the Band Members mentioned will be themselves. ~ Age Ranges: Chris: 26 Ricky: 24 Micah: 22 Mykailla: 19

"Do you have to leave?" I say through tears. "I promise I'll be home before you know it." That's a lie. It'll feel longer than what it actually is. And it will all feel like hell. "I'll be lost and...and...alone without you, Matt" I sob even harder. "Don't say that. You'll have Aunt Kathy and Jo. Trust me when I say this: they know exactly what they're doing. They've been through plenty of these before." I nod, not trusting my voice, afraid I'll break down again. His hand comes to my cheek as he wipes a tear that's falling. His arms then indulge me in a huge hug, his familiar cologne invading my nostrils. "STARKS! We're boarding!" I flinch at the fact that its time to let him go. He kisses the top of my head, "I love you." He whispers in my ear. "I love you too." I respond weakly. "I love you most." And with a final, hard kiss, he walks away from me. Kathy holds me and lets me cry on her shoulder as Matt looks back at me, and walks into the plane. ~~~ **This is an original story by @QuackingDuck.
