Days pass and I get used, one more time, to the pressure, the uncertainty and the thrill; like Penny said to me; after the night with my team I look with more confidence. 
“So, I hear Jill will stay here.” Phoenix asks me while we walk to the hangar. 
“Yes, her <deploy> seems to be near, I don’t know, she says it is confidential.” Actually, I feel better knowing she and Barry are close. 
“It’s nice to see you in that.” She refers to me in khaki. The officers ordered me to wear it for today’s exercise. I don’t feel strange about this but it is unusual to have it. 
“It feels heavier than I remember.” Both of us smile.
The officer is standing in the small door that leads us to the runway, where a lot of planes remain there, waiting.
“Lieutenant, the test from this day is really simple, this way.” But he makes us walk to an empty runway which is usually used for airplanes which present problems in the air; however not this time, in front of me an F-18 stays still. 
“This is your exercise.” My body tense in a blink, my mouth feels dry and my heart starts to beat like a crazy, I look at Phoenix trying to find some kind of peace on her, but she seems so surprised like me.
“Si…Sir… I…” With his sunglasses on, it’s hard to read his expression. 
“Lieutenant, you are a pilot and like one, you should finish your weekly test on a plane, not on the ground.” I gulp feeling my hands sweat. “Now, put that plane in the air.” 
I’m gonna have a heart attack at any moment, Nat tried to speak but she was interrupted. 
“Easy, like flying a paper plane for you.” 
Fuck Cyclone is here too. 
“Don’t worry Lieutenant, we have an emergency plan in case something goes wrong.” He points with his head to the plane, there is no way back.
I take a deep breath and walk to the plane where a team is waiting for help me to get ready, I’m shaking like a leaf, it’s easy to see, I stop for a moment when I was about to sit down and close my eyes, breathing long and slowly, sit in the plane and putting the helmet on. I feel the necklace and brings me a little bit of calm, I close my eyes and let the people down there does their work when I open it again, someone ask me if everything is alright, I take my time for recognize all the bottoms, levers, interrupters, after that I nod; then everything for me start in a slow motion, until I hear Hondo’s voice. 
“It’s so good to see you up there Sky.” I felt tears in my eyes. “But let’s put this thing where it belongs, ready?” I wipe my tears and put the mask on. 
“Ready.” 
The driver's stars as a flashback hit me 
“GHOST RIDER 1! WE ARE LOSING ALTITUDE.” 
I start to breathe faster. “Focus Y/N, you are here, stay with us.” I shake my head and clear the way for another memory in my head, a good one. 
“Y/N if you tell me, you can take off in a fucking street, I trust you.” Riley says while he puts on his mask. “I believe in you all the time.” 
That made me smile. 
“Ready” I say, and start to move.
When I felt the plane lift off ground, raising in the air, my heart start to slow down and my hands grabs firmly the maneuvers; I remember how much I love to be here and how much I miss it, in that moment I just want to know with a lot of hard work I hope recover all I lost, and honor who have a blind confidence on me.
“Good job kiddo, good job.” I hear Jake. “But don’t forget to be alert of what surrounds you.” 
He put his plane at the level of mine. “Show me what you remember.”
After 15 minutes in the air, we landed back in the base. I stayed inside for a moment until I found myself smiling. “Good job Sky, still we have to learn to kick assess one more time.” I praise myself.
When I left the plane I found Jake, Hondo, Cyclone and Nat with huge smiles on their faces. 
“Not bad Lieutenant, not bad.” Cyclone says before walking away. 
“So proud of you Y/N.” Nat hugs me. 
“Let’s end this for today, I want you to process all this and I see you tomorrow, ok?” Hondo says while Nat splits apart from me.
“You!” Jake lifts me from the ground. “Great job Sky, great job!” He put me on the ground and smiled at me. 
“Rest a little bit, too many emotions for today.” Hondo says, putting his hand on my shoulder. “Your father will be over the clouds.” I giggle. 
“All right, all right but if you don’t mind, I want a couple of minutes alone…here.” They agree, leaving me alone with the plane, I put my hand on it and scoff. 
“Did you see that?” I ask the sky. “I still remember how to put a plane in the sky.” 
I was about to leave the building, nevertheless Jill screams can be heard even in the bathrooms. 
“YOU FLY A F-18, OMG!” She ran to hug me, letting me without air in my lungs. “THIS IS CRAZY, SO SO SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU” She didn’t let me go. 
“Is she serious?” I see Bob enter the building; I smile finally getting some air. “Woah, great news, congratulations Sky.” He smiles at me and keeps walking, leaving Jill and me for another hug.
I drive straight to Hard Deck, still the news flies faster than I thought because Penny receives me with a big smile. 
“Don’t need to thank me.” She speaks. “I’m always right.” I can have a better response than laughing.
Back at home, late at night, I found my parents sitting in the living room with proud faces and smiles. 
“Fan #1.” My father says before extending his hand and pulling for a warm hug and patting my back. 
“Always.” My mother joins us and hugs both of us. 
At the end of the 3rd week the tests became harder emotionally and physically. Cyclon said they didn’t prepare anything for I don’t be ready, but the maneuvers and the scenarios in each one drain every energy of my body. 
At the end of the day talking with Jamie left me almost numb.
But that Friday will take me to the limit.
The same scenario of my last mission started to take form without even realizing, suddenly I was surrounded by fighters with no missiles and just a few rounds. By the time they started to cage me on the slope of a mountain, my brain was understanding. 
“Y/N focus, you know what to do.” I hear Hondo speak but when I break right, the two fighters become four and the flashbacks hit like stones. 
“Sky! We have 3 on our back, turn left, turn left!” The lights and the beeping of the left drive put me on alert. 
“Shit.” I whisper. “Damn …. Give me something with that communication!” Before Railey can say something,.
SMOKE IN THE AIR, SMOKE IN THE AIR!” I felt everything was split up by me; no strategy, I have nothing, I just have one option. 
“EJECT!” I didn’t know who screamed it first, but when the second driver was out, I heard him getting out. I held for a couple of seconds the position of the plane to crash into two fighters before ejecting, I never realized I crashed with the crystal when then everything became black.
Just like I didn’t notice I was about to crash until Jake screamed through my ears. “Y/N!” I open my eyes and I barely get to lift the plane, when I stabilize it, I say. 
“It’s over! Please, please, let me get down.” I waited for a second that felt like hours. 
“Ok, Y/N, get down.” 
After landing I felt my heart at 1000 km/hr., my head popping and my hands shaking, and in the gate, Cyclone was waiting. 
“What was that?” I raised my voice, but I took a deep breath to control myself in front of my superior. 
“An exercise.” I deny filling a knot in my throat. 
“We both know it wasn’t. It was a recreation.” My jaw is tense. 
“You must know anything could happen…” I interrupted him. 
“BUT NOT IN THE SAME WAY.” I scream and he looks straight into my eyes. 
“Watch your tone Lieutenant.” I can’t hold it back. 
“Permission for dismiss.” I say him with tears in my eyes, he just nods. But while I was walking to get rid of the khaki, it made me feel suffocated. 
“It’s everything for today, Lieutenant, you can go home.” I don’t bother turning back, I just lower my head removing the tears of my eyes with the back of my hand. 
They open a wound that just starts to heal.

“What are you talking about? A masterpiece!” Matias and Enzo were talking about the scene their friends just finished recording, when they hear in the distance a familiar voice talking enthusiastically.
Matias observes warily the expression of Enzo, after a hard session of persuasion with Mar, he just gets warning of her, if she sees this start to turn messier, she will cut it out, from the root.
“Be honest with me.” Matias gets Enzo's attention, he’s seeing him but his mind is immersed in something else. “That girl just caught your eye or is something more insanely complicated.” He didn’t get any answer.
“Because…come on Enzo, just see this girl, what? 4 times, talk maybe 2 and look at you, acting weird. I mean, yeah, find a pretty girl and catch your eyes, it’s ok, who didn’t do that? But since you talked with her from time to time you have a weird smile on your face and after what Agustin called “a short talk” you looked fresh?” Enzo seems confused enough to move his hand trying to rest importance and keeps walking. 
“You… Ok, ok, ok! It’s been a long year, and exhausting d…” In a useless attempt for resting importance Enzo tried to find an excuse as he started to talk. Matias takes a deep breath before dropping the boom.
“That girl will leave in two weeks, if this insanely complicated “thing” means something to you do something, in case it doesn’t I think we should just go back to our routine and stop this rare talkings.” Ready, the boom was off and Matias walked away not wanting to know if something blew out or it was just an empty one.
-
“Oh shit! Hey, Mar must be already waiting for me, I’ll text you ok?” Moises was about to protest when she continued. “I SWEAR, JESUS!” Both of them laugh as she rushes to put all the things she can in her pockets.
“Before I forget it! I already have the package, which arrived two days ago.” He mentioned but she barely caught his words before she ended the call, a few seconds later she crashed with someone and fell on the cold ground. 
“Sorry, sorry I…” She raised her sight and saw Matias already helping her to pick up her things.
“You know how to make entrance.” __ laughs and stands up when the sting sensation makes her look at her hands, both of them have deep scrapes in the palms. 
“Yeah, this one doesn’t seem to be smooth.” She opens and closes her hands trying to make the sting sensation fade away.
“Oh, am, we have a first-aid kid on the set.” __ was about to say it’s ok but the cold air and the open wound made her palms burn.
When Mar saw __ walking inside but with her fist tight and walking beside Matias with her things in his hands, giving her the indications for something happened, she rushed asking what happened when she saw the scrapes in her hands, both of them explaining what happened and that made her feel relaxed. 
Mar knows __ is well protected by her siblings, after knowing the hard times they had when Mr. Ovalle died; being the younger sister behind twins who were in the last years of their childhood, while two months ago just blew the candle of your 3rd birthday, making the following years not so friendly. Later than the beginning with Caro, she lost count of the time where Mrs. Mendienta and her went to pick her up after school and she was just sitting there sharing a bag of frituras with all kinds of salsas, no talking, just eating and keeping in company of each other.
“How long does she remain waiting?” One day Mar asked her little sister, she observed the eyes of Caro focus on __. “Carolina.” Her little sister shook her head. 
“Just a few minutes more, until one of her siblings came to pick her.” Mar looked at her mother and she just smiled with a press of the lips.
That night her mother will tell Mar the tragic events Lucia confesses to her the day they have to go to school for the little fight between the girls. 
Just one afternoon of doing homework in Mendiatas house was enough for Mar to make a strong bond with __, Mar found a new little sister to take care of. A few months later with the immersion of Enrique in the Ovalle family they were able to see how everything turned into something better.
“You should be careful, the cold ground and the fact there isn’t pavement makes it easier to get deep bruises than usual.” One of the paramedics told __ after treating the bruises.
The three of them thank him before he leaves. 
“Well, it seems it’s my turn to drive after all.” Mar adds but before she could pick the key, __ took a step ahead and grabbed it first.
“It’s scratch Mar, it’s not even a cut.” __ stands for they leave. “Thanks Matias you shouldn't stay, you look tired.” Matias refuses with his head and follows them to the exit. 
They talked about their plans for Christasm and just to make sure Matias got the message of __ departure, it was the first time __ mentioned out loud.
-
Enzo stayed a few seconds out, watching the stars above him, but eventually tried to rest importance to the chatting with Matias consequently the topic of __, so he went to the truck to change his clothes and enjoy the two weeks of rest.
He grabs his things but the voices coming from the entrance stop on his way to the exit.
“It's a shame!” He hears Matias with a cover sound, he’s giving __ a goodbye hug. “But it was a pleasure to meet you.” 
Mar felt relieved that all points to the imminent surrender of the ridiculous idea of Matias, she felt someone take a heavy bag from her back.
“However, if you ever come back it will be a joy to meet you again.” __ response to the hug.
“If you ever go to Mexico, give me a call and it will be a pleasure to receive you there.” A few seconds ago, they exchanged numbers.
“Wow, wow, dangerous offer.” Mar says, making __ smile. The tree of them wish each other merry Christmas before parting ways.
<It’s a shame> Was the thought of Matias, she’s a nice girl, really n…
“HOLY SHIT!” __ was right that they are incredibly skinny, and in the dark made them look like ghosts. “ENZO!” Matias recovered his breath. 
“Are you leaving? Go back safe, goodnight.” 
“Yeah, goodnight.”Enzo responds, it seems the boom was actually a useless firecracker.
After arriving home and preparing a small dinner, Enzo remains observing the T.V not even bothering to pay attention, Ada and Uma remain sleeping next to him. 
“I’m crazy.” His expiration radiating strong out of him.
-
“THAT IS NOT TRUE!” Caro, Mar and __ sitting in the living room with hot chocolate and a bunch of cookies and pancakes, playing true or dare.
“Yeah, right! You even bought a ridiculous teddy bear!” Caro is being exposed about the first time she confessed to a boy in fourth grade and he rejected her, with a horrible and dry <No way> Who got the last laugh? Before she left the school to move to Uruguay, that boy was like a puppy after her.
“Oh! I remember! Diego Vazquez.” Mar fakes a shiver. “Ugh, awful.” The three of them laughed so hard that it was hard to recover their breathings. “What about you __? Any guy who deserved to be a piece of your heart.”
“HA! The legend says, <Just the immortals will have the privilege to see.>” __ smiles bigger before sending her to bring more chocolate.
“No one, huh?” Mar insisted  and __ instead of feeling uncomfortable she just relaxed.
“Not even a scrap.” Mar phones start to buzz, she covers her face with her hands making __ giggles. “I’ll go to help her before the kitchen floor is covered in a brown liquid.”
Mar smiles before seeing the name on her screen making her eyes almost fall, she stands up quickly and walks to the stairs.

Chapter 3
Honey

Tuesday night when I arrived home, my father was in the living room doing his puzzles, the sign that a talk is waiting for me. Early in the morning when I got back in the simulator, I decided to honor the memory of Riley, with that in my mind, 4:57 minutes, 3 fighters and 1 tracking weapon, all down.
“I hear it was a good one.” Shit, I knew it, but my tip toeing didn’t work like it never did. He laid back in his armchair and pointed me with his head to the couch. “So proud of you lieutenant.” I drag me to the couch when I sit, he laughs. 
“Good job Sky, I know you can make it, don’t lose that courage in you, that confidence and that braveness.” He sees me right to my eyes. “I always going to be there, being your fan #1.” My dad always said that and made me feel like I can do anything.
“We.” My mother enters the room with just baked brownies. “We are always going to be there.” She put the plate over the puzzle of dad, bringing us that comfy atmosphere to the room.
-
The next day I had a day off, so I decided to go to the beach just for a walk and spend some time with me. It’s a nice day, no to hot, not too humid so I let the waves touch my feet, when in front of my feet a volleyball ball rolls.
“Well, well, well, Skyhook in the area.” Mike Lewis (Shooter) shouted from where a couple of members of the navy was playing. “Are you in the mood for a game?” 
I don’t answer. 
“Come on! We take it easy on you.” Like always hitting my nerves. 
Like every volleyball navy game; strategy, and intelligence along with a good shape combine it’s proven in every play; surprisingly I get used to quickly, my body remembers how, I enjoy these games, and…Damn it, how I love to win Shooter. 
“That’s what we call a shoot!” Rooster screams point to the win of Jill and I from Mike and his partner Tom Ryan (Magic) 
“You remember how to play, let’s find it out if you remember how to be a Top Gun pilot.” Mike screamed walking away, he was the second best in our generation, with me out, he was the first. 
“What a loser.” Jill says offer me a bottle of water. “Please tell me when you get back on training you shoot him down like the old times.” She has those puppy eyes in her face and I laugh.
“First I need to know if I can get back.” I drink my water, and I see Phoenix hitting a Rooster and laughing. I smile, that's how Rooster caught me seeing him; a harder beating in my chest, followed by me feeling shy one more time, what is wrong with me?
“Ladies, please move aside for the next game or join it but don’t obstruct the field.” Barry says, grabbing us by our arms and pulling us outside of it. 
“Nice hit, by the way.” I hear Rooster say to me before I walk to the bench and sit for a while. 
“A nice and smooth aim I have.” He put his eyes in white. “I’m sorry for not recognizing you, I just…” He was standing in front of me, but his hand was inside of his pocket.
 “Really, no worries, actually I rather prefer you don’t recognize me.” But he smiles. 
“The famous Skyhook, how can I miss it?” I put my lips together trying to smile. 
“Well, not anymore.” I can see the full confused expression on his face, before he tries to find it out, Barry starts to call me, I say goodbye and walk where he is.
“Do you know him?” Jill asks me, I didn’t even realize when she came. 
“Damn! Jill, you need a sleigh bell.” That’s why she gets that calling, she is quite like a Panther. 
“A small one please.” We both giggle. 
“It’s the second time I crossed more than 3 words, so if that counts as knowing him, yes I do, but if not, well he is just an acquaintance.” Jill looks at him with sharp eyes, but she lets slip the topic. 
“Ok, but I’m here to invite you. The boys and I will go to Hard Deck for a couple of drinks and hang around a little bit. Come, we’ll be happy to see you back, not with the old guys, with the young and fresh blood.” Jill refers to us like the young when Rooster and Phoenix generations are in Miramar, it’s like a healthy and fun rivalry. 
“PLEASE SKY! Also, I bet Penny will die when she sees you.”
*
“ROOSTER!” Bob screamed and moved his hand in front of my eyes. “Are you ok?” He sits next to me on the bench where we were watching the games. 
“Yeah, yeah, why?” He drinks a sip from his bottle of water and I put the sunglasses on. 
“Don’t ask Bob, he is… a little crush on that girl.” Phoenix says after finishing her match. 
“I don’t.” I say standing because the next match is my turn with Bob.
“Are you coming for a new challenge, Sky?” I turned around faster as my neck let me, finding it was just a game for Phoenix.
 “See?” Bob laughs and I push him for a walk. 
“So funny, so funny.”
*
Here I am, 4:30 pm, standing outside of Hard Deck with my hands in my pockets, staring at the neon lights, denied with my head, just when I turn around…
“We open until 5.” The voice of Penny makes me turn around and bite my lip. “Oh my…” When I left my gaze Penny had her hands on her waist and tapped her feet on the sand. 
“Hi Penny.” She walks where I was and hugs me, I freeze in that moment but after a couple of seconds I give up. 
“Glad to see you, glad to see you little girl.”
Penny and my family had a long friendship, she knows me since I wear diapers, saw me grown up and when I get into Top Gun program, we became more closer, she is like a second mother to me, always keep an eye on me, cover me when the drinks took the power of my body, when disgusting guys tried to hit on me or when the training lessons where to hard, and go back crying like a baby with my parents wasn’t an option. She always has an open arms for me, of course, she was an important witness of my fall.
“But something is missing.” Penny said letting me go but holding me by my shoulders. “Where is the uniform?” I giggle, since last year I refused to wear the uniform. Everyone told me it was ok because I’m part of the navy. Still wearing it feels so wrong, every time I come to Miramar, I just wear the navy jacket, a black t-shirt and jeans. 
“Come on Penny, I’m not an active member, also I look cute in this.” She smiles at me and drags me inside the Hard Deck.
“So, are you coming tonight?” She is getting ready for the night coming ahead. “I heard there will be some deployments, and you know, the house is going to be full.” I sit on the stool. 
“I don’t know, Jill invites me but…well, let’s see.” Penny put her hand over mine. 
“Y/N I think it’s time to let go, I bet Riley will be sad if he sees you holding back.” I grasp her hand and let the tears slip. “Riley is always going to be with you Y/N but…because I know, both of you, I think he will want you back in the sky, it wasn’t your fault, but you must let him go to come back again.” I looked at Penny’s eyes and she put both of her hands over mine. 
“If you need him, you know where to find him.” She points to the necklace. “Here.” And my heart. “And here.”
-
Like a classic night in Hard Deck, the sounds of the jukebox, the screams and chatter from the crew can be heard from outside, the sound of glass crashing one to the other and the bell of Penny put a smile on my face. I just went home to tell my parents I’ll be back home late and put myself together one more time.
I open the door, my plan is to pass like another girl into the bar but in the distance, Barry screams my name when he sees me. “Y/N IN THE HOUSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.” When I turn my sight, I see all my generation, some friendly faces, rivalry faces but I feel the happiness of most of them, they come and grab me by the arms dragging me to the pool table where a game is taking place.
“Sky, nice to see you here.” Justice offers me a beer. She is a good friend from our time as students. 
“Nice to be back.” I accept it but Shooter appears. 
“Not yet, 2 more weeks.” He winks his eye, a sign he will annoy me but in a friendly way.
Time flies. I laugh with them like the old times, we play around, and I feel at ease when an old and dear voice calls me. 
“Y/N call sing Skyhook.” I see through the crowd, and I smile so big to him. “When I hear you were here, I say, God, she must miss me.” I walk where he was and offer him my hand which he pulls force to crash with him, he hugs me and when I don't respond to the hug,  he grabs my wrists and puts it around him. “Welcome back kiddo.” 
I smile and see all his friends smiling and laughing. “That much you miss me Jake, huh?” 
He tosses my hair. “Let’s keep it like a secret.” 
I met Jake when I got in the program, as funny it could sound, he was our instructor. At the beginning he was a pain in all the ways, in every class he gave me; until one day Riley and I agreed it was time to teach him something new, like my father says.
 <Head and hands cool Y/N and you can make magic.> 
We took him down in less than a minute with an invert fly. The worst, for him, the admiral, was watching the exercise. From this day and on a good friendship took form.
We were talking about random topics, his mission, and my test time when we didn’t even realize the jukebox stopped and the piano behind us started to play. 
“Jesus! Rooster to the attack.” I turn around and see him on the piano with his sunglasses on, his team around him and I wonder what it’s going on. 
“Rooster plays the piano?” The questions split from my mouth. 
“Watch and see.” Phoenix says sitting next to us. 
Suddenly he starts to play and old song that I recognize; in my teens, that song was a constant when I learn to plane; his team start to sing along with him even Jake is singing with less excitement but a smile in his face but when the second verse came, I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny. You came along and you moved me, honey. I feel Nat, Bob, and Jake eyes on me, I blame the alcohol but my cheeks burn.
Truth be told, when I saw Bradley Bradshaw a couple years ago, it was like cupid shooting an arrow straight to my heart. I used to have a crush on him, but like the first time, the time isn’t right.
When Rooster finish everyone in the bar start clapping and shout his name, it was obvious how much he is adoring it, but when the euphoria slow down I see Jill make a sign to go with them, so I say goodbye Jake and Nat, I grab my beer and walk where all my teammates were talking high spirit in a pool table.
“Ready, we're all here!” Jill says pulling and tingle our arms, I just open my mouth when Tom came running say the count is paid, and with that we rush outside of Hard Deck, I just wave my hands to Penny before they drag me out where 3 cabs are waiting for us, and I understand it in that moment.
When we graduate, we sit for a drink and eat bags of chips on one side of the runway just illuminated by the lights, and every deployment of the team we promise to do the same because we know who left but we never know if they will be back, and today it isn’t an exception.
“This is for Riley.” Barry raises his beer. “Wherever you are, you did well.” The pressure in my chest started to increase, but this time I felt confident. 
“And for Y/N, we can’t wait to see you up there.” Unexpectedly, Shooter speaks. 
“The second place will suit you better.” Too good to be true. All giggle and crash our beers, and when we look in the sky like magic, a F-18 is landing.

Part 1

Caro and __ are waiting in the same tree as always, eating and talking about the imminent wedding of her mother and the things that changed and the one who will still be doing it.
“Wiser decision.” Before her mother gets married, she will move with her sister to her apartment at least until she graduates, after that she will move with Enrique where she will remain working.
“Actually it’s my only option, Esteban in a couple of months will have a crowded house.” __ take a deep breath, if someone told her three years ago, she will be living with her sister, only with her sister, she will tell them they were crazy.
Caro knows __ , she recognizes that gesture in her face; the open eyes, shoulders down and twitching fingers. She is sad, really sad, but the most important; she’s angry; and the worst thing, it seems she isn't’ the only one who didn’t know why, also her siblings find it hard to know the reason.
“__…” Caro 's words stuck for her cell phone ringing. “What does this girl want?” The fact that the tightened teeths and rolled eyes were enough to put a smile on __'s face. 
“Yeah…I get it… Mar you are a constant pain.” Were the last words before Caro ended the call.
“Well, it seems we have to get inside, Mar needs her computer and she left it in the car, and no, she said you better not stay here, outside alone.”
Orders are orders, and with a stressful Mar, no one wants to mess up.
“I can wait here.” __ says to Caro standing outside in front of the big storage doors. “I’m inside of the perimeter, you say that to her.” Caro smiles and gets inside.
After three weeks here, it is definitely colder than the first day, making her put her hands together and blow to try to warm. 
“Gloves are a better option.” She recognizes the voice and turns around. She knows it’s a movie but what the hell, all of them look like they were starving until death, and makes her a little unforgettable to sustain her eyes on him, so she quickly turns her sight back to the sky.
“Oh, right, I never thought about it.” She could help it, sarcasm seems a hereditary thing. “Still, it seems that I’m warmer than you.” 
Enzo found it kind of endearing the fact she didn’t even look at him. “How could you know it? You didn’t even look at me.” That caused __ giggles, clear her throat and look at him.
“Yep, I’m definitely warmer.” She crosses her arms over her chest. “You should go inside, I think you will freeze at any minute.” She pointed from his head to his toes. “Literally a stalactite.” Both of them laugh, Enzo takes the courage to give the first step.
“I’m Enzo.” He extends his hand, __ smiles and shakes it. 
“__” It’s so clear the difference in temperature. He's cold and skinny, literally she feels is grabbing a piece of ice, and she’s warmer, he feels is touching the sunlight. 
“Nice to finally know your name.” __ take account the time she has been here and cross their paths but never mention her name. 
“OMG MAR! That is the kind of thing you mention right away!” Caro is at the end of her patient;  __takes her hand and puts it back to her pockets. 
Just a second later, because Mar has been unable to take her eyes from the scene since she noticed walking to the door, the giggle and the seconds __ maintaining her hand in Enzo’s.
<Omg, I’m crazy>, Mar thought and cursed Matias for placing that scenery in her head.
“Sorry, I don't remember which one was!” Caro takes a deep breath and says hi to Enzo. “Let’s go __, one more day, one more day, and will be free.” 
“Said the girl who left her bestfriend for her boyfriend.” Mar ads scrunching her nose and smiling at Caro. She didn't even have to beg __ for please pick Mar for the last time tomorrow night, Alonso invited her to dinner and pre celebrate Christmas. 
“She does it because she loves to see her best friend happy, right?” Caro hugs __ by her neck making her nod but pushing away at the same time. 
“All right, all right, let’s stop from making a scene in front of Enzo.” Mar said before pushing them to start walking, __ unable to get rid of Caro’s hug. “Goodnight Enzo, see you tomorrow.” Mar walks behind the girls laughing, as Enzo says goodbye.
“Let’s go, last shot of the day!” Enzo was watching so carefully the scene, he didn’t even hear or see Agustin walking to him pushing him inside to start to shoot. 
Enzo’s last scenes are scheduled to end the first week after the short period of vacation, even with the tiring year over them, they feel excited for just 24 hrs split apart from a well deserved rest. They go inside to the storage where everything is already set for the last recording of the day, Enzo set in his place to start recording.
“He seems more excited than a few moments ago.” Matias mentions to Agustin at the end of the day, as they walk to remove all the makeup and clothes.
“I think he was having fun with Mar and her sister.” Matias stops in a blink. 
<What?> 
“There was also another girl, with a strong gaze, black hair and probably what I consider, a contagious smile?”
Agustin was removing the clothes but he kept answering his questions. “It could be. I don’t know, I just saw Mar’s sister grabbing her by the neck and walking away.” That was enough for Matias to clap and smile, getting a forrown expression from Agustin.
“I’m excited for the end of the day, that’s all.” No one will believe that.
“Yeah, sure.” 
“JUST PICK A COLOR!” Vale keeps pressing __ to pick the color of her dress for the ceremony, even the same amount of time she asks her, __ replies with the same answer. 
“I don’t mind, you choose the color.” This time __ couldn’t leave her with a red face and fist tight, this time she had to continue with the phone call, a stupid promise she made to Enrique.
“__…” She could hear Vale taking a deep breath. “Ok, I’ll reduce it, salmon or pine nut.” Caro found it hard to contain the laugh, she was hearing all the mess for the very first second of the call.
“Valentina, they are pink, for christ sake, just pick one of those two! I don’t mind if you put me in a yellow dress.” The fact __ is losing her mind too just made all this situation funnier. 
The discussion gets to the point __ screams the salmon color, and hears the relieved sounds of Valentina.
“Jesus! Have a good night, Esteban will call you tomorrow.” By this point of the night __ has her head covered by a pillow. “Love you.” By the end of the call, Caro is covering her mouth to spot the laughing. 
“Listen I know you are tired of picking colors but, which one looks better on me?” __ breath in before sitting and watch the quandary about the skirts of her friend.
A couple of hours later, Alonso was introduced to __ before he and Caro left for their date, of course, not before __ gave him a little warning about breaking her best friend's heart, and facing that glacier stare in __’s eyes didn't leave space for a small joke.
“Okay, before he has a heart attack, we’re leaving.” Caro intertwined her hand with Alonso; Dr. Mendieta seems to have a sensor because at that moment he appears in the stairs. 
“Bring her home safely, ok?” Alonso was cut for Caro giving a kiss on her father's cheek and opening the door searching for a safe spot for him.
Dr. Mendienta sat in the living room with __, and rubbed his eyes. “I must ask for your parents' tips about this, right?” __ couldn’t contain the giggle and close his eyes just like him.
“Yeah, they have experience in that.” Dr. Mendieta laughs while __ remember the time Esteban announced his engagement and the multiple times they observe Vale go on numerous dates with a smile on her face.
“I bet they will understand me when you begin to look like her; all red faces, sparkling eyes combine with heart shaped eyes.” That causes a chill in her body forcing to stand and go and search her things to go pick Mar. 
“Don’t wish me so bad luck.” She smiles in an apologizing way before leaving the house.
Mrs. Mendienta stays hearing the conversation from the kitchen sitting with her husband just after __ leave the house, with a reproval face.
“What?!” Dr. Mendieta raises his arms in a surrender way.
“Years, we met __ since she was 6 and still you don’t know anything.” She grabs the control T.V. “She is not the girl who spent her days or minutes drawing hearts in the corner of the notebooks.”
Dr. Mendieta rolls his eyes, he knows that but he also sees some kind of resemblance of that behavior of her in his past younger days.. 
Getting two steps ahead of Mar. __ got inside of the parking lot of the storage after she arrived, just like the last time, earphones and her tablet in hand, she found the perfect spot for her to sit and work but this time to cover for the strong cold of the night, she found a little bench set between two big trees. When she sat down, took a photo of her with a huge coat, a beanie with the logo of her collage and her favorite scarf.
<Warm and safe, don’t worry> Was the message along the photo with the emoji kiss.
Mar replies with a kiss back, smiling when she sees the picture.
“They are here?” Mar jumps in her chair, almost drooping her cellphone. Matias appears out of nowhere with a mischievous face.
“Fuck! Matias, you will give me a heart attack one day.” She put her hand at the level of her heart. “Who are they?” She was trying to play the fool so, she focused again on the computer in front of her but he won’t give up so easily.
“Mar…” She smiles but shakes her head. “Listen, after our small talk I start to see crazy things ok? So, I’ll be honest and direct.” 
Mar removes her headphones and faces him.
“Matias, __ just came for Christmas holidays, she will be leaving in two weeks tops, she doesn’t come frequently and I doubt she will come back in a long time, ok? So, let’s not torment two souls for your excited imagination.” He doesn't answer not because he just resigned to the idea just because he is thinking in a way to win time.
Mar moves slowly if like a faster move will turn the flashlight in his brain.
45 minutes passed since __ sent the picture until her cell phone rang one more time. <Moises> along with the emoji of a mushroom.
She picked up the call with a soft smile on her face. Moises is another of her best friends, they met when they were 10 years old, it was the intercollegiate of volleyball, and her school was headquarters. In that time Moises faced the team in where a boy who caught the attention of __, was playing after win in a flattening victory; he gave her the advice at least put her eyes in someone who can throw a ball across the room, not to the head of his teammates; that rude sincerely likes __, by the end of the week and the finish of the intercollegiate, __ found a new friend with the time became a important pillar in her life.
“What coincidence of life? We almost have the same schedule!” She hears the gasping voice, an indication of his late night runs. Even though they didn’t study the same engineer, the last subject was the same. “When did you take project I+D? I mean, I thought we had 2 subjects left.” 
__ laugh if he attended the class last semester, he would know, she already passed that subject. “Going to classes helps to approve the subjects, you know?” 
Moises starts to get slow and stops his clock; in Mexico even if it is winter the colder temperature begins in January; so, still the weather is nice for a late night running, but the cold air starts to cause some troubles in his breathing.
“How are you?” __ take a small breath before answering, not removing her eyes from the screen of her tablet, but her finger floating above it. 
“Earth calling __” She blinks, __ didn’t even realize she stopped asking herself that question since she came here, with all the thrilling emotions of being with Caro, the distance of her problems at home and from her family, seems enough to hide that question.
“Am…fine? I guess, I mean…” Moises could picture her lending her head to the left with her furrowed eyebrows.
“You don’t have to answer just to say something.” He sat on a bench near the entrance of the park where he used to run. “I’m asking because come on! Seeing a message from you it’s like a miracle.” With that he gets a scoff from her followed by a giggle.
“You don’t ask but I will tell you…” 
For 15 minutes he told about how his mother has drag him from side to side of the town buying and carried things for the Christmas dinner, this year his house it’s the place for all his family reunited, __ enjoy hear him, even she stops from working and just draw things in a new field in white.
“OH! Your strudel is from another world!” Moises is well known to his family and friends for his gift and making the most delicious dessert anyone ever tastes. 
“Promise, no, no, swear me you will make me one, when I am back!” __ point to her cellphone like if he is able to see the determination in her face.

Chapter 2

One of the most uncomfortable experiences in my whole life, talking with a complete stranger about me, knowing she is reading me like any kind of paper made my skin crawl every second.
“How do you meet Riley?” I stop breathing and I look straight at Dr. Jamie's eyes.
 “What?” She put both of her hands in her lap. “I love to hear the story of how you and Riley meet.” In her eyes I see compassion and really curiosity, not pity like everyone who asks me about him. “Take your time, I like to finish with this.”
“Am…well…Riley and I.” I take a deep breath in and smile at the memories. “We meet in our first assignment for the navy, we both were put in the USS Yorktown, we were selected to be partners, he was so funny, and I was so stubborn, well, I still am; at the beginning was hard to get a long our first flies were a mess, horrible, one of my worst…then everything changes.” I saw Jamie who was smiling, urging me to continue. “We had a mission of reconnaissance, we didn’t expect any kind of action in the air but also we don’t expect there were tracking weapons, I avoid every missile and took down one of them; we only had two options; retire and let them know our coordinates or end that weapons and take good information to the ship. He screamed at me when I suggested calling for backups.” I giggle. “At me, in the air, in the middle of enemy space, me the top of the class, the damn pilot, but it works. That day we received our first honor, later we knew that the information we took back helped to eliminate an important enemy reserve weapon.” I take my time to finish breathing in and out.
“We arrive at Pearl; we celebrate drinking beers on the beach at 4 am.” Jamie laughed. “That’s how our story begins.” Before my mood turns sad, she stops it. 
“All right Sky, let’s end here, I think you have a more tiring test ahead.” She stands up and walks with me to her door. “See you tomorrow.” I nod and walk away.
The physical test left my body smashed, when I finished it, I just lay in the concrete. “Good job Lieutenant.” I hear the officer say while he walks writing in their report. 
“Look what the wind brings.” I opened my eyes and Phoenix was bent to me. 
“It’s not the wind, it’s the storm.” She laughs and offers me a hand. 
“I hear, late by the way, you’re back on the track.” I stand and drink my bottle of water. 
“I didn’t say <back>, I mean, look at me, it seems like a truck passed over me, I…I don’t know, let’s wait until the end of the month.” She denies. 
“Sky, the only one who doubts about your pass this test, it’s you.” She passed his arm along my shoulders. “Trust me, if it is not like a friend, like your senior.” 
I met Natasha the second day in Marimar, she was already a proud Top Gun pilot, and I was just another girl who didn’t let intimidate by the huge amounts of testosterone. 
While Riley is helping to put a bag of ice in my hand for “accidentally” smashing my fist in one of my classmates face, which left me with a swollen wrist, as soon as she hears my story she smiles and pat my shoulder. The following times we met she always says hi to me and from time to time she joins Riley and me with a nice and teasing talk. 
The rest of the week passes by and brings me to the edge every time; but the simulator cracks me in a million pieces, I already know I wasn’t ready, but they insist, of course a big fail appears on the screen.
“AH!” I take the helmet over my head and hit the walls, my breathing faster than normal and my heart bumping like trying to get out of my chest. 
“Was a good one, Sky, take it easy.” Simpson says. 
“1 minute in the air, even a newbie can stay longer and take down at least 1 fighter.” I replied to him, he let a few seconds pass before speaking. 
“The first time in more than a year, it’s a good one, get out of there and rest a little bit.”
I walk out of the room and as take my first steps in the hallway, I see Jill and Barry waiting for me; Barry Holland (White Tiger) it’s Jill’s partner, everyone in our generation said they have a funny call signs, both of them in the ground are cute and funny as kittens. I tried to avoid them, but Barry saw me. “Don’t even try.” I stop and low my head. 
“It was a good Sky, believe it, just a tough scenario.” Jill continues. “You lasted more than me my first time, even with doubts, you're still kicking ass.” I scoff and walk away. 
“I need to rest guys, thanks.”
The rest of day passed smoothly, and when I left, I avoid everyone in the base, I just need time to get straight my mind one more time, I call a taxi but not for home, I asked him leaving me in the beach near to the a little store, where I bought a couple of beers and sit in the sand watching the waves come and go.
I receive a message from my parents asking me if I’m okay, of course they already know how bad those tests were. 
“Of course.” Was my only reply. When I put my phone in my bag, I found the little pendant that Riley gave me 4 years ago, a little F-14.
“An F-14, nice touch.” I heard someone speaking behind me, but I was too tired to turn around, so I drank my beer. 
“Yes, I know.”
 “Are you planning to get into the navy?” I scoff and laugh, but I remember I don’t have my uniform. 
“Well, you can say that.” Another sip. “But it isn’t getting easier.” I hear him moving but when I grab another can of beer, I realize he is sitting next to me, but I don’t mind looking at him just opening my next can of beer. 
“Drinking won’t help you.” I laugh and turn my head to look at him, what a surprise when in front of my eyes was the well-known famous. Bradly Bradshaw (Rooster). “And getting drunk maybe should be your last option.” He says to me, taking the can of my hands and putting along the 3 empty ones. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you.” I turned my head away, and suddenly I felt really shy. 
“No, no, it’s ok, sorry, today, well… it wasn’t my day.” My years, it hasn’t been my years. I remained silent because nothing good came to my head until he spoke one more time.
“How many times have you tried?” I bit my lips. “Get in.” 
I’m not in the mood for playing games. 
“I’m a pilot.” I say and stand up shaking the sand of my jeans, and I see him perplexing. “Are you?” He asks me, stand too, I grab my bag and put the empty cans inside. 
“I am.” He watches me with narrow eyes as he starts to apologize I cut him. “No, please, it’s ok, honestly lately I stopped feeling like one.” He keeps quiet then I feel my phone buzz. I look at the screen, my father is calling. “I have to go, but thanks for the advice.” I giggle and start to walk.
“Rooster!” He says before I can stop to hear him. “I think we have seen each other before, right?!” I turn not to stop walking and salute in a casual way, two fingers to the forehead to the sky. 
“I ask for a sign, Riley, not a potential problem.” I spoke with Riley while I left my trash in the container.
*Rooster POV*
“Rooster!” Phoenix shouted from top of her airplane. 
“Sorry, sorry, what do you say?” Phoenix shakes her head. “Are you ok?” I shake my head. 
“Yeah, fine.” She looks at me suspiciously but doesn't dig deeper.
The lonely pilot, in my mind, seems too fragile at that moment looking at the sea and grabbing her necklace like she is holding her life on it. I can bet my life I’ve seen her, but her name slips every time.
“Y/N, Skyhook!”

HI!
I wanted to take the time to thank you for the support you have been giving me, I really appreciate it and it keeps me very motivated to continue writting, thank you so much.
I hope that as I move forward, you will continue to like all of this, once again, thank you very much. 😉

“Are you awake?” __ hears and feels Caro really close to her face. She waited for her until 1 am, after that, her eyes gave up and closed, she didn’t even hear her coming to the room much less the time she arrived at her house.
“Carolina, if your breathing doesn’t wake me up, believe your weight over my back does.” __ remind with her eyes closed, hearing Caro giggle and lift from her back so she can stand or turn around.
“What happened?”__ sat in the bed just opening one eye, that was enough to see the huge smile on Caro face and the evident move of her jumping to hug her. 
“It was amazing! I really, really, really love it, every second.” Caro hugged her tighter and __ answered the hug.
“So you are…” Caro didn’t let her end the sentence.
“I AM HIS GIRLFRIEND!” __ just laugh with the shrill of her voice and pat Caro’s back. “I’m so happy __.” This time she splits, __ recognizes the pure happiness in her face, all over it, the sparkling eyes, the smile that swear will leave her cheeks numb by the night. 
“Yeah, I noticed.” 
“You should try it.” __ lend her head. “Be in love.” __ stands like the bed was on fire and shakes her head. “Please, if you…” __ grabs Caro face and squeezed it.
“When the orange tree produces strawberries.” Caro rolls her eyes. “That doesn’t even make sense.” She takes her hands off her face.
“Exactly.” 
Another day of coming and going left them tired and decided to arrive home earlier, rest a little bit and recover energy for their daily night picnic.
“Darling, Esteban called a couple of hours ago, he said please call him as soon as you arrive.” Mrs. Mendienta notified her when the two girls crashed on the sofa.
“He didn’t call your cell phone?” Caro asks her and passes the phone to the living room.
“Who knows, I left it in my suitcase.” Caro opened her mouth and hit __ shoulder. “That’s why they are mad at you!”
“Caro, let’s be honest, they have been mad at me since I stood at the table the night of the dinner proposal.” __ stands and delays the number expecting the curb of Esteban.
Matias arrived at the storeroom with a plan in mind, but he needed an accomplice, an indirect one.
“Hi Mar.” He greeted her, appearing in the frame door. 
“Matias, hi, what can I do for you?” Mar turns to her chair and smiles at him. He definitely never forgot the intense curiosity in Enzo's eyes and his last words before the part ways last night.
<”So, what is the name, again?” Enzo said in the most random moment.
“Name?” Matias turns to face him. 
“The girl's name, I mean.” Matias grinds and an idea set in his mind, he will comprobe his theory, sooner or later.>
“JAJAJAJAJA, no, no, if I can be so sure about something that is NO, totally.” Matias told Mar his theory. Ok, the fact of an indirect accomplice isn't so indirect, but it would be more weird if he tried to get information by himself.
“Come on Mar! Just think about it for a second…” Matias put his cards on the table; he didn’t miss any detail, from the moment he opened the door of the truck and found them until last night's talk.
“Just because I thought about it for more than a second…listen, Matias, maybe in her teens, yeah, I bought that, but now in her twenties.” Mar shakes her head with a smile on her face. “The only time I know she has been nervous or running away from a man, it’s because is a doctor with a needle.”
“But she…” Matias could swear to see her nervous eyes in her eyes the last time.
“Maybe she left my sister without her knowing, or she forgot her cellphone in plain sight, but I believe because she saw you and got nervous it is my last option.” Mar put her hand on his shoulder. “Sorry Matias.”
“Anyone has seen Recalt?” A grumpy voice came through the radio, Mar pointed with her eyes to the radio. “Is it your call?”
“Just promise me, at least you will consider it as a low probability.” Mar should deny it without a question however something in his voice tone and the security he had made her give in and agree. “Wait and see, just wait and see.”
Matias has the time against him, in 2 days will be the last shooting of the year before the Christmas vacations, it suppose it won’t be a problem, but the 2nd of January __ will take a flight home.
´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´
The next one is one of my favorites. ☺️

Chapter 1
Hide And Run 
Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Ghost rider 1, ghost rider 1.” No matter how hard I tried still my hands seemed to hold a fucking popsicle slipping between them, it supposed I know what to do, but with the sounds inside of the plane combine with the bellowed voice of Riley make all my actions a complet mess. 
“Y/N! EJECT.” 
“Miss? Are you alright?” The taxi driver asks me as he moves my arm, I open my eyes and realize we are parking in front of my parents house; 19 months and the same nightmare come from time to time.
“Sorry, I’m ok, thanks…” I opened the door not before paying the 15 dollars from the airport to home. I walk through the little garden which my mom built along all these years. She starts it like some kind of stress reliever. She says every deployment or mission from me or my father it’s a new plant in the garden; in my father's case only he and God knows how many missions he had and for me 17 seems a nice number.
“My little butterfly.” My mom said, hugging me in the main door and dad appeared behind her. 
“Sky.” The short name for <Skyhook> I get that call sign in the navy, when she splits away, she puts her hand on my cheek, and I smile with my lips pressed. 
“It’s nice to have you here.” She says and pulls me inside of the house.
As the rest of the day passed without any uncomfortable talks or strange looks, until we finished the dinner and dad and I were doing the dishes. 
“Maybe it is too soon.” The last month was the hardest since the accident and my dad knows that better than anyone; I left the plate in the cabinet, holding it a little bit more than normal. 
“Someone returns in less than a month.” I stop but I force myself to continue. “It’s just a simple test, dad, let’s be honest, with the background I have, maybe I'll fail.” He grabs me by the shoulders and looks straight to my eyes. 
“Y/N think it a little bit more, ok? Just a couple of weeks more.” I take a deep breath, and nod with my head, honestly that idea has been surrounding my head since the big week was scheduled.
-
3:46 hours and counting, is the time my watch the same I’ve been pushing my legs to the limit, but my mind is working at 100 per hour, tomorrow my first test begins, the navy just gave me a one more week, quote <We need you in the air, not in the ground.> I shake my head and continue running.
I was so immersed in my own thoughts when the F-18 dived off along with a little scream for the kids in the park that made my heart stop and flashbacks straight like gunshots in my mind. 
“Mayday!” My fast breathing, the drops of sweat on my face. “I can’t stabilize…” My hands trying to hold the control, the sounds of the overworking in both engines. 
I cover my ears trying to deafen the sounds and when I get to control myself, my watch marks a high rhythm in my heart, the beep helps me to recover, I blink and I see a little girl coming close to me. “Miss, are you alright?” She doesn’t stop liking her ice cream, making me laugh. 
“Yeah, don’t worry, go somewhere fresh or your ice cream will melt faster.” My voice just murmured. It’s a hot Saturday and the summer has just begun, she nods and runs to sit on a bench covered by a tree.
I stop the timer and walk to my father’s car parking in front the main gate of the park, from time to time I lift my sight to the sky, I remember the first time I was in a plane, not a commercial plane, not a light aircraft, but a navy plane, the freedom I felt and the power I thought I had.
For the first time in almost 2 years, I realized that this week would change all I’ve work for more than 8 years, what terrifies me it’s know, in this moment I don’t even sure if continue it’s the right choice. 
The next morning, I woke up around 5 am; the test begins at 08:00 hours at least I have to be in the base around 07:00, I get ready, and at the moment I get down I see my parents getting ready for breakfast. 
“No, it’s not for you.” Dad says before I even complain, they stand up for my test just like they did when I was 6 years old and it was the first day of school. 
“I have an important meeting; I must be ready.” He didn’t even lift his eyes from the newspaper, my mother shakes her head and offers me a cup of tea. 
“Good morning by the way.” I greeted them, my mother giggled when I subtly pointed out his lack of greeting combined with the awful way of hiding his real intentions.
-
“SKY! Hi!” Jill screams when I enter the building. I have known Jill Green (Panther) since we entered the training at Top Gun, something you must know about Jill, she is a cheerful girl, in all the extension of the word.
“Hi, Jill. How are you?” She ran so she could walk along with me. 
“Missing you, it’s not the same since you’re not here, but I heard you have already scheduled a test, isn't it amazing?” I smile, she always makes me smile. 
“Well, let’s find out.” 
My feet were tapping intensely when the vice admiral Beau Simpson opened the door and made me enter his office. 
“Lieutenant, good to see you, please take a seat.” I obey and sit from time to time I apart my sight from him. 
“Well, it’s time, like we already inform you, 1 month of constantly test on the ground and, of course, in the air, after the month, we evaluate you, if you pass, you’ll be deploy in a blink of an eye, if you’re not, well, we have a big problem.” I gulp, he put his hands over the desk. “Sky, you were born to be in the air, one of a kind, just focus…what happened years ago, you must let it go.” I turn my face. “It’s not easy but you’re a strong girl.” With my lack of answer, he stands and takes me to another room.
“The first proof it’s really treating, a psychological one, following for multiple physical ones, strategic, mechanicals and logical.” He stops at the front door and looks straight into my eyes. “Lieutenant, you have been out for more than a year, some tests will pull out the worst and the best from you, what you need to know is, nothing you’ll be going through it’s impossible and you always prove to us that.”
At the end of the first day, all seems to be go a little bit better than expect, with a good mood I was walking to the parking lot where my mother’s car is waiting; she insist at least I should take it for going to the base, she felt more comfortable if she knew I have to be focus to the road instead of the memories been here could bring me back; my steps froze in just a few meter of distance of the entrance, when I see all Dagger Team enter to the building, I meet some of them years ago, with someone I’m really close, but met them right now make my heart beating fast and be really nervous.
I resolve it with the most childish choice, I hide behind the car waiting for them to enter inside the building. 
Great star Sky, hide and run.

Cap. 2
Part 2
Masterlist
Tumblr media
That was the third time, his mind traveled to that moment, the reaction was the same, a soft smile on his face followed by shaking his head.
“Enzo, this is a good one, great job!” He heard about the headphones, that day he was in the studio recording the monolog, a part of it. 
He comes out to check the recording, he knows Mar, of course he does, but he doesn’t relate the connection, not until that day.
“Sorry, I'll go out for a second and come back in a moment.” She excuses herself leaving them hearing the final parts, a few minutes later she opens the door one more time.
“Just sit there and do whatever you are doing, for Christ sake!” Mar wasn’t mad; it's obvious from the giggle that follows that sentence. “Sorry, what do you think?”
“I can wait in the car!” Mar keeps __ pulling by her arm to get inside of the room. “It’s not like I’m doing this for the first time.” Mar comes out for her insisting that she will be more relaxed knowing she is at least inside of the building. 
__ bring her tablet with her, being two weeks disconnected from all her life already accumulated a good amount of mails and with Christmas in 5 days this just increased, she decided that minutes waiting for Mar will be enough for at least answering a couple of them.
After literally close the door in front of her eyes she just give up and sit in one of the couches and continue in her reading, when a mail come in, her mother and a document, Lucia keeps sending files to her childs for a feedback or a opinion with topic weddings but __ continue doing the same thing, let it the other emails hide them.
<At least try to read it> A message from Esteban popped in her cellphone.
<How do you know I didn’t read it?> The response she got was two emojis one for each sibling, rolling their eyes. 
Fine, is the only thought came to her mind while open a file with a bunch of pictures about flowers and wedding bouquets, the only answer she was able to write was, <So pretty, mom>, follow by keep working in what Enrique send it her before leaving Mexico; he started to work in the cultivation in a new zone of the ranch where the access to the water it will be continue but the grapes will be more expose to the impact of the cold and warm airflow; her task is design how they will set the storage by the time the harvesting begin leaving enough space for their “little” experiment.
“Ready!” Mar said opening the door, __ lost the track of time, what for her were just minutes turned into an hour, as she raised her sight she caught the glimpse of a familiar face turning around so quickly.
“__?” Mar waves her hand in front of her face, turning her attention. 
“Sorry, what do you say?” Mar smiles and points with her head to the exit. “I told you that everything seems fine in the loveland.”
Caro keeps texting to them about the updates of her date and everything seems to be really great, a nice restaurant, nice dinner and excellent company, she resumes in her last text.
“Hey Mar!” Mar closes her eyes and say <Please no, please don’t, just a few meters of the exit> and turns around with a smile on her face. “Matias, what are you doing here?” 
“I’m waiting for…” He just averted his eyes to the left side of Mar when his eyes recognized the girl. “Oh, we met again.” __ didn’t raise her sight of her shoes her mind working in the storage and the relocation of the barrels, until she heard, <meet again>
“Do you know each other?” Mar asks, seeing the frown expression in __. 
“No, just see one time.” __ answers. 
“Ok, amm, what you’re saying?” Mar changed the subject thinking he could see her the last time she brought __ to the storage. 
“Yeah, have you seen Enzo? I’m waiting for him to go to dinner but I couldn’t find him.” He keeps sending glances to __.
“No, he left the studio before me so…__ did you see him? He is tall, slim, really slim these days, he’s wearing a black pants, black hoodie.” Mar tries to describe him but in __ eyes seems like she already had the idea of what he looks like.
“Sorry, I was so distracted by some files until you called me.” __ shrugged her shoulders.
“I didn’t know you had two sisters.” Matias crossed his arms really curious about the girl with a hard way of looking; he isn’t dumb at all, already notice after the little encounter with these girl, Enzo has a little, almost unnoticed smile from time to time, he isn’t a credit that to that girl but it’s a curious thing.
“Because I don’t. She is __ Ovalle, best friend of my sister.” This time __ actually smiled and extended her hand for Matias to shake it. 
“Matias Recalt, nice to meet you __.” 
At that moment Mar sees Enzo walking out to the building, she points to him. “There he is.” Matias turns around and shouts his name.
“Well, you found him, it’s our cue to go.” Mar claps her hands. “Good night Matias.” She smiles __ and tingles her arm with __ turning around and keeps walking.
“Good night, nice to meet you __.” He smiles at her and she just waves her hand before walking to the car.
“Where were you?” Matias asked when Enzo reached him. “I’ven looking for you.” 
“I was talking with…people.” Enzo is trying really hard to look like always, unbothered. 
“Talking with people?” Matias has two options: push further to his evident nervousness or let it pass…for now. 
“Yes, people.” Enzo takes a deep breath to look into his eyes, but at the moment he does it, he turns his gaze at the first blink.
It took 3 seconds to Enzo recognized the girl who was sitting with her legs crossed, frown expression, and head bend to the left, like the girl who ran away after giving his ring; his intention was let it pass, so he keeps walking but the curiosity to at least know his name and if she works there increase in each step he walks far away, and started to getting slower.
<It’s just a question.> His subconscious justifies the stop he did at the middle of the corridor, he bites his lip and turns around.
He panicked when he heard the voice of Mar follow by the strange girl raising her eyes, he quickly turned around one more time walking faster to the end of the corridor and enter to one of the rooms where props are keep; as soon as he slowly close the door and hit his forehead to the cool wood he get it, why she runs like that. 
He waited for a couple of minutes to come out and got down where Matias must be looking for him, they agreed to go to dinner, and the missed calls confirm he is looking for him. What he didn’t expect was to find the girl and Mar talking with him. Thank God, when he was spotted by Mar, they apparently said goodbye and walked away. 
“Her name is __.” Matias says out of the blue in the middle of the dinner, taking out of balance to Enzo. 
“Who?” Enzo took a bite of his food, in his defense his mind was analyzing the next-to-last day of shooting. 
“Oh, the girl who ran away the other night. It’s really… how can I describe her?” Matias tried to analyze the “not mind” attitude but the soft expressions she can have when she seems interested or curious about something. 
“Odd? Atypical?, something like that.” He didn’t get the response of Enzo so let it pass, and change the topic, maybe after all he is already making stories in his mind.

Actually it wasn’t so bad as it seems, this is the third day of her night duty and they already set a schedule, even if the cold start to straight really hard, they leave the car parked and sit in the nearest tree close the filming site, extend a blanket and eat a snack that __ brought from Mexico, until Mar came out from the storage.
“I’m going to miss you.” Caro opened another bag of candies. “I know you are at the half of your vacation but…” Caro is the sentimental one of this duplet and her voice starts to crack so __ choose to grab her hand and smile at her.
“Day by day, ok? Just, let’s think day by day.” The moment cut for the sound of Caro’s cellphone and the name on the screen. 
“Alonso” The guy for Caro has her head in the clouds, still she keeps repeating isn’t her boyfriend, yet.
“What are you going to let him end the call?” __ say with inquisitive eyes, Caro looks between her and her cellphone. “JESUS CAROLINA, GO AND ANSWER.”
Caro practically jumps from the blanket and runs to create some kind of distance with a smile from ear to ear, __ giggles watching her friend go with one thought in her mind, “Why you go? It’s not like you won’t tell me with specific details of the call.”
She lay back in the tree watching the stars in the sky, and thinking what Caro just said, when she go back to Mexico, she enter to the last semester, a few weeks later she will be in a stupid dress smiling to people she doesn’t know trying to get through to the idea of a new marriage from her mother.
She hears a soft mumbling becoming stronger with the seconds, makes her down her sight and see a guy with old, dirty, rip clothes walking to the filming site, a plane sight it could be a danger person but when she focus her sight see “snowflakes” all over him, making her relax, he looks so immerse in what is doing that he didn’t even hear the sound of something falling from his pocket, something shiny.
__ though he will realize but as he keeps walking it was clear he didn’t, so she struggled between go and pick it and give him or let it slide and don’t abandon the blanket and the snacks.
“Shit” She murmurs and runs to pick the shiny thing, which results to be a kind of silver ring with two small silver pearls. “Hey!” She screams but he didn’t even hear her. <Chasing a famous guy.> She thinks as she increases her steps. <How old am i?> Remembering how crazy she turned in her early teenage years for the actor or singer she likes.
Finally before he walks inside of his truck, she reaches him and touches his shoulder, making him jump and turn with a scare expression in his face. 
“Sorry.” She raises her hands in an indication she is inoffensive. “I…this fell from your pocket, I tried to call you but you didn’t hear me.” She breaths in trying to recover from a night run in cold weather.
__ extends her hand showing the ring and for the first time she puts attention to the details of his face, he has make up on it, like a some kind of bruises in her nose, he has a little bit long hair brushing to the left, slim lips and a eyes that make her feel a little bit overwhelmed. 
“Oh…” He picks from her hand, not realizing that buzz that runs through his body or if he did he attributes it to the longest hours of work combined with the cold. “Thanks, I was so distracted…” He stops for a second when he pays attention to her face.
“Did we meet? Before, I mean.” He narrows his eyes trying to remember where he could see her.
“Amm, probably you don’t, but…” Her words were cut for the door of his truck open and a man coming from it, same dress code. 
“Oh, sorry, Enzo I was calling you, they need you inside.” He looks at him before pointing with his head to __. “Who is she?”
When the cold breeze hits her face, she remembers letting an empty blanket with bags of chips open in the middle of the night and a friend talking with her potential boyfriend, yeah, the dignity of a horror movie or a high potential kidnapping. __ opens her eyes realizing she, for sure, will scare Caro.
“She… she is leaving right now.” __ spats, making the scene look like she gets panicked for having in front of actors, they couldn’t reply because she turns around and runs to the blanket, hopping Caro still on the phone and not freaking out for not finding her anywhere.
The guy who left froze in the door of the truck with an eyebrow raised but the ring guy with a side smile in his face due to the clumsy way she acted.
“Weird.” Is the only words that Enzo hears but his mind doesn’t agree with.
Caro is still on the phone, __ sits in the blanket trying to recover her normal breathing, but Caro runs to her shriek noises coming out her mouth until she sits next to her and hugs her, almost taking away the few breaths she got to take.
“Omg, omg, OMG!” Caro takes __ by her shoulder shaking her with a smile on her face. “Guess what? Guess what?” __ just has time to open her mouth before Caro cuts her. “HE INVITE ME TO DINNER!” Hugging her one more time.
“I mean, I still have to deal with this awful task of picking up my sister but if I don’t get it wrong, maybe that will be night!” She splits and looks carefully to her friend who looks like she runs a marathon. “What’s wrong? You seem in the last kilometers of a race.” 
“Who runs a marathon?” Mar appears with a tired face but curious about their conversation.
While they were on the way home Caro told her sister about the news and she got so excited, but advised her little sister she should tell their parents and she will solve the part of coming home late at night. 
“That’s great honey! I don’t know about the part of Mar driving late at night.” Mrs. Mendienta answers while they are having breakfast. 
“Mom, it’s not like I never drive late at night.” Mar replay, __ has been earring everything but not making a comment until the right moment. 
“Not with 11 hours of work on you.” Mrs. Mendienta has a point, driving late at night with a heavy shift over you it’s out of discussion. That is the right moment. 
“I’ll go and pick her.” __ replays taking a sip of her juice, she sees the intention of Caro’s mother for saying it wasn’t her responsibility and she is there for having fun. “It’s ok, I already know the streets. It doesn’t bother me at all.” She relives with her smile.
“Still you have to tell your father.” Mrs. Mendieta answers after thinking for a couple of seconds. 
“Mom.” Dr. Mendienta is well known for how protector he is of his little girls. “You’re alone in that.” Mar says getting a kick in her legs by Caro.
Said and done when Caro told her father he questions every single thing he can just making sure Caro will be safe and sound and they will always have contact with her. 
“Dad! Relax, it's just a date.” Mar is trying to calm her father. “Your mother said that before I asked her to be my girlfriend.” That causes Caro’s face to turn red and get the attention of everyone. “DOES HE…?”

Cap. 1
Part 2

The days passed and like they promised every day she was immersed in a new place, a new food, a new adventure.
“So you're having fun, right?” Esteban asked for the third time in that phone call. 
“You're driving me crazy.” She answers, her brother smiles, just like Valentina, both of them are aware of the hard time all this marriage thing is for her and being honest a part of them were relieved when she said, quote. “The last thing I want is spending my Christmas hearing wedding topics every day.” 
“Ok, ok, sorry, I just want you to have a nice holiday.” Estaban is for nature the responsible one, beside Vale who is… well, messier. “Hey, I gotta go, say hi, to Caro and her family, ok? Vale will call you tomorrow.”
“Esteban, relax, ok? I’m fine.” He breathed out before saying goodbye for the last time.
___ hang out the phone and keep looking at the lock screen, a picture of the three when they were kids, she sitting between them while they hugged her, their mouths covered in chocolate.
“Guess what?” Caro takes off for the path of a sad memory, she enters her room with a bowl of chips. 
“Clue.” __ answers putting her phone aside. “Film.” Or it is a simple one or a hard one. She looks at her with narrow eyes making Caro laughs. 
“Place.” She gives her another one.
“We are going to a cinema?” Her voice loses volume in each word, Caro denies and smiles.
“Wrong.” It’s the hard one. Caro hit her legs like they were a tambourine. “Mar will take you to the shooting tomorrow.” __ open her eyes and then process the information. 
“Take me?” 
Caro nodded and ate a chip. “I have to go to the university for some papers that I need and I don't know how long I have to stay, so instead of a boring day at school, Mar will take you to an exciting one.” __ had no words in her brain.
“And no, it’s not trouble, she takes me from time to time too, so all you have to do is go and have fun.” Caro covered __ mouth before she said anything and put play to the movie. 
Said and done, Caro leaves early to go to the school and __ waits for Mar.
“Ready?” Mar asks, checking inside of her bag. “I guess.” Mar looks at her and sees a nervousness in her eyes. “__ it’s going to be fun, don’t worry. The actors are down filming and we will be up in a room hearing and monitoring the sound effects.” She smiles at her. “Besides, they are just regular people.” 
“With more money and fame.” __ finishes her sentence, but Mar puts her arm around her shoulders and walks to the door. 
Holy shit, that’s the only thought that came to __’s mind every 2 seconds. The place is insane, people coming and going, big trucks parking outside, wires all over the place and big machines in every corner; Mar walks next to her saying hi to almost everyone, unconsciously she holds her breath until they reach the famous up room.
“See? Normal people.” Mar scoffs seeing her take her breath out. 
“Mar ready, at 5.” A man appears in the frame door, covered in wires.
“Oh, hi, you must be __” He extends his hand.
“I’m Antonio, main engineer.” She smiles and shakes his hand. “Nice to meet you. I’ll leave, relax and enjoy the day.” Before she answered he was already gone.
“Wow.” Mar laughs and pushes a chair so she can sit. “Sit and see my magic work.”
Like she said, the days passed by and it was very entertaining. She could hear and see everything, she laughed with the people's funny mistakes and saw the both sides, the big blue screen behind the actors and the screen where the magic already happened. 
By the time the lunch time ended, __ had won some people's sympathy, and stole glances from the other tables that surrounded where she was sitting.
“How does Caro say your mother named you? Well, you and your siblings.” Mar and __ are walking to the up room. Mar knew very well that strange “magic” of __, she was one of the victims many years ago.
“Oh! I remember, The Hamelin’s!” Mar giggles. “Very accurate if you ask me.”
__ and her siblings are well known for the charm they cause in people, that’s why Lucia put the nickname to three siblings of the Hamelin’s. Esteban has a strong presence, and with a kind nature it isn’t weird everyone found in him a nice and lovely friend, and life time partner when the moment was the right one; Valentina, on the contrary has a hard personality, leaving you with only two options: you love her or you hate her, and like their siblings say, you don’t want to get in her bad side, she can be really funny with the right people and a pain in the ass at the same time, but always falling in love so quickly, she lives under the statement of feeling every emotion so deeply even when the word “commitment” terrifies her. __ wasn’t the middle point like everyone would expect, she didn’t have the strong presence of her brother or the funny personality of her sister, she never realized the influence she had in other people’s lives, in  a bad or a good way, but she is stubborn just like her father and has a strong mind. However, she is not affectionate with love topics.
It isn’t the fact she hates it or anything like that, she just decided from a really young age she wouldn’t waste energy in such an unstable feeling. Her siblings, in uncountable times, heard about the fact a guy caught her attention but after a few months or even weeks they’d stop hearing about him. Of course, those shiny eyes and that redness in her face that love used to cause wasn’t seen for any of them.
At the end of the day, when they left the filming site not only the goodbyes were for Mar, this time, a few of them were for __ too.
“It was impressive.” Mar takes a cookie from the table. She told her family about the Hamelin’s effect. 
“Told you, now picture that effect in the school, even girls from upper grades talked to her.” Caro came out of the kitchen with coffee for everyone. “And she was…” She fakes a shiver, making everyone laugh.
The next morning started with a video call from Valentina. “All I’m saying is at least you should call her more frequently.” She insists that calling her mother one time every two days isn’t enough.
“Vale…” __ rolls her eyes causing the anger of her sister. 
“Listen __, just call her one time everyday ok? Don’t put more stress on her.” Thankfully someone requires her attention, making the end call abruptly. 
She rubs her forehead trying to calm her mind before going down for breakfast. It’s been one and a half weeks here and she easily gets used to the routine of Mendieta’s.
“Mom!” The whiny voice tone of Caro prepares for a complaint. “It’s not a question Carolina, it’s an order.” Her mother practically ended the conversation. 
“It’s early for you to start to complain.” __ jokes joining them in the kitchen and hugging Caro by the shoulders. 
“You are on this ship with me.” Her complaint is because her mother told her she must pick Mar from work at least for two weeks. Her car enters maintenance and leaving her to come alone late at night hasn’t been a choice for their parents; that implied any plan she had in mind past 9 pm must be delayed at least for two weeks. 
“It doesn’t bother me at all.” __ gets a pinch on her cheek for the answer. 
“FINE! Let the nightmare begin.” Caro exclaims, picking the plates from the shelf and walking to the dinner room, Mrs. Mendieta winks at __.

The soft breeze keeps making the leaves fall. You can hardly recognize their color if it is yellow, orange or a strange mixture of red, but she seems so immersed in the small show all of them give from the moment they detach from the tree until they crash to the ground.
“Is this your first time here?” The taxi driver takes her down to earth.
“Yes.” She sees the driver smiling and turning around in a small street, which she recognizes immediately. 
“Well, it’s almost winter, I bet you will have a lot of fun these days.” The car stops in front of a colorful house and she just smiles before opening the door.
If she counted the seconds between when she grabbed her bags and the moment she felt her lungs lost all the oxygen thanks to the impact of the hug, it would be less than 17.
“___, YOU’RE HERE! YOU’RE HEREEEEEE!” Carolina Mendieta, her best friend since childhood. Their friendship started in the third grade after both of them got punished for making a scene in the middle of the dance class. 
“Oh my god, honey, you will break her bones.” Her mother appears in the frame door with a big smile on her face. The fact Caro is 4 cm taller than her and has practiced karate since she was 5 years old turns everything into a  high possibility. 
“Mrs. Mendienta.” After Caro let her go, her mother immediately hugged her one more time. “___, darling, it’s amazing having you here, sorry for the over excitement.” She points with her eyes to Caro who seems like she just received the best present in years. 
The Mendieta's moved to Uruguay 8 years ago, after her father was notified about his promotion; __ used to joke about being a doctor brings benefits outside of the country. What seemed like the distance could break their prove just made it stronger, constant phone calls, video calls late at night and packages coming and going from country to country; reducing the kilometers and joining her hearts.
That’s why the house doesn’t feel strange or an unfamiliar place, iIt's like she has already been there multiple times, they go inside and a tiny black pug came running and barked all the way until he was  in front of them.
“Hi, Moka.” She squatted to be a little bit closer, she extended her hand and waited for him to make the first move to pat his head.
“I thought your father and Mar would be here.” __ said sitting and rubbing Moka's stomach. 
“Ahg, you know them, dad is a workaholic and Mar is in a shooting.” Mar, is the oldest sister of Carolina, she works as Audio Engineer, so she has been involved in multiple shootings from all types of genres.
“Here, __, you must be thirsty.” Mrs. Mendieta came from the kitchen with a tray of glasses of water and some snacks. “How are your siblings?” She asked her while they sat on the couch followed by Moka who already smelled the sweet essence of the fruit.
“They’re fine, thanks, annoying as always.” Her answer made them giggle. “Oh, how is the pregnancy going?” __ oldest brother, Esteban and his wife are expecting their first baby, driving all her family crazy with excitement. “Good, if everything goes according to the plan, the baby will be born in April.” 
“Your mother must be crazy.” She adds but Caro clears her throat. The mom topic isn’t one of __ favorite ones lately.
“Yeah, she is, but it’s hard to know if it is for the baby or for the wedding number 3.” She drinks a sip of the water. __’s mother, Lucia is preparing her third wedding, after the divorce of her stepfather Enrique Arteaga, one year was enough for her to get a boyfriend and 5 months later in an awkward dinner announced their engagement. 
It’s not like she didn’t want her mother to start a new chapter in her life, or her fiance. What makes her angry is the way she does things. After her father’s death, when she had 2 years old and her twins siblings 8, the following years were a torment; until 3 years after their mother met Enrique, they were in a relationship for 2 years before they decided to get married; Enrique is the father they lost in a early age; every soccer game, competition, festival, morning breakfast, pick from school and a sidekick, the three siblings found in him.
But suddenly the fights began and before everything became a mess, they decided to end the marriage, 8 years of marriage were resumed in a house sold, and the split of her family. __ chose to live with Enrique and her siblings moved in with her mother, well, just Valentina; Estaban got engaged a year later and 9 months later, they were celebrating a wedding.
“And, where are they spending Christmas?” Mrs. Mendienta changes the subject as quickly as she can. In a cowardly way to face her problems, __ notified her family she will spend the holidays with Caro’s family. Her siblings tried to convince her to at least spend those days with them but deep down her parents know letting her go was the wisest decision.
“Enrique with Raquel’s family and Valentina, she doesn’t know.” The conversation was interrupted by Mar's voice.
“I’m home.” As soon as Mar sees __, just like Caro, she screams and runs to hug her. “Shit, I totally forgot.” She spreads apart and grabs __ face in her hands. “God, how old are you 20?” __ laughs and Caro puts her eyes in white. 
“We are the same age fool.” Mar pushes her sister before __ can answer. “24, and you look so much better than her, how is that possible?” She laughs and hugs one more time.
In the dinner they talked about the news Caro forgot to mention and __ too, Caro’s father was excited too for having her in the holidays, and they all already have a schedule for her, one month of adventures, they resumed it like that.
“Your father must be proud of your work in the vineyard.” Mr. Mendieta mentioned serving the dessert. 
__ is in the last semesters of Agricultural Engineering, and she already had been working to specialize in oenology, the fact Enrique has a small vineyard was one of the main inspirations. 
“Or terrified.” She jokes causing everyone a small laugh. “I just hope to do a great job, and learn everything I can.” 
“That’s for sure honey, also your graduation gives us the perfect excuse to go home even if it is for a couple of days.” It wasn’t a secret that everyone missed Mexico, and being away for 8 years made them miss it more.
