You told me not to think

"Sparrow!" Fanboy exclaimed. "Shit and Mav! No!" Rooster exclaimed ."Dagger One and Five are Hit! I Repeat Dagger One and Five are Hit!" Phoenix yells. Wolfman bit his lips to fight the tears that wanted to come in. "Dagger One and Five Status!" Rooster commands. "SPARROW! MAVERICK!" He calls out. "Did anyone see them?" Rooster asks. "I didn't see a parachute!" Payback yells.

"I'm going after them!" Rooster orders, only to be stopped. "Negative, not until the enemy pathway is cleared." Cyclone interjects. Hangman sat trying to get himself together after hearing Sparrow and Maverick's planes going down.

"Permission to assist?" Hangman asked. "Negative, we'll send search and rescue." Cyclone responds. "Damn it." Hangman muttered in frustration.

Wolfman stood up quickly, "No disrespect... my sparrow is out there! I need somebody to go find her." He said as he was trying to stay calm. "Sir it's..." "DANGEROUS! Yes, I am fully aware. I NEED TO KNOW IF MY DAUGHTER IS ALIVE OR AM I GOING TO HAVE TO LAID HER TO REST WITH HER MOM! Please!" Wolfman pleaded.

..............

Sparrow's eyes fluttered opened. she sat up and saw her surroundings. She saw Maverick, she was confused then she saw she was tangled up in the parachute. She sighed and began to untangle herself. Then she saw blood in the snow, "No no." She said as she looked at her cut. "Thank goodness it's not that bad." Sparrow muttered. She attended to her wound, she cared for the best she could.

Maverick opened his eyes then sat up quickly which caught the attention of the woman. "Maverick... are you alright?" Sparrow asked him. "I'm fine, are you?" He asked her. "Yeah, we just need to figure out how to get back, everyone must be panicking even my father." Sparrow said as she managed to get herself untangled then she got up and went to help Maverick get out of the mess he was in.

"I know Wolfman is strong but at the same time, I know he's worried." Maverick said. "He's already lost my mother Mav, He can't believe he's lost me." Sparrow said as she frown as she finished getting him untangled. "He hasn't, we need to get back also come up with a plan." Maverick said, Sparrow nodded.

She helped him get out of the mess, then she gasped quietly when she saw in a distance the enemy's helicopter. "Maverick, I don't mean to panic, trying not to but we need to go, quick." Sparrow whispered as she tilted her head towards the direction, he looked over and saw the helicopter. He grabbed Sparrow and they ran for it as the helicopter began firing. They quickly made it behind the wall and duck. "Holy crap." Sparrow muttered.

Before things escalated any further, the helicopter was blown to shreds by Rooster. Sparrow sighed in relief when she saw Rooster's plane. Unfortunately his plane get taken down, Sparrow and Maverick saw him heading into the trees which Sparrow and Maverick ran for it. "Please let him be alright, please." Sparrow muttered. both Sparrow and Maverick tracked him down and thankfully, he gotten out of the crash unscathed.

Both of them find him cutting away from his parachute. "You alright?" Maverick called out after him and Sparrow reached Rooster. "Yeah.." He responded. Then he was shocked and confused when Maverick pushes him into the snow. Sparrow eyes widen as she took off her helmet. "Okay then." Sparrow muttered.

"What the hell?!?" Rooster yells as he threw his helmet off as Maverick threw off his. "What are you doing here?" Maverick questioned him. "What am I doing here?" Rooster questions him. "Sparrow and I took those missiles, so you can be down here with Sparrow and I, You should be back on the carrier by now!" Maverick shouted at him.

"I saved yours and Sparrow's life!" Rooster yelled back. "We saved your life, that's the whole point, what the hell were you even thinking?" Maverick questioned him. "You told me not to think!" Rooster yelled back. Sparrow kicked the snow, as Rooster rose his hands up at Maverick. "You know... you did tell him that.... you told me that, like you been saying like since forever there Mav." Sparrow said as Maverick looked back at her. Rooster chuckled silently. "I know... you don't have to remind me Wolfe." Maverick said to her as she smiled a bit at him.

"Well... that's established...Now gentlemen, what's the plan because we can't get back on foot." Sparrow said as she looked around. Maverick looked at the two, "I got an idea, follow me." Maverick said as he picked up his helmet and walked a direction. Rooster picked up his, him and Sparrow looked at each other for a moment. "Glad your alright buddy." Rooster said as he patted her shoulder as the began to follow Maverick. "Me too." Sparrow said.

They looked ahead at the enemy's air base. Maverick spotted two aircrafts, knowing that he can fly one of them while Sparrow could fly the other. Rooster looked over at Maverick "Your not serious?" Rooster had questioned him. Maverick looked over at them both then got up "Yep, he's quite serious here Roost." Sparrow whispered to Rooster. Rooster looked through the binoculars. "You've gotta be kidding me. An F-14?" Rooster said as he looked ahead. "Wolfman and I have experience." Maverick said and Sparrow smiled a bit. "Yep. Never shuts up about it, but I enjoy hearing those stories if I'm quite honest ." Sparrow said which warmed Maverick's heart. Rooster smiled a bit, then looked ahead then sighing again.

"We don't even know if those bag of trash can fly." Rooster stated. Sparrow looked at Maverick, Maverick looked at her then at Rooster then back to the planes. "Let's find out." Maverick said as he got up and Sparrow followed. "Daisy.... Mav." Rooster called out then he followed them.

They start walking through their runway, Sparrow was nervous going through there. "There's guys up there, Mav and Daisy." Rooster points out to them. "Yep..." Maverick responded. "Then there's more over there." Rooster points out the other direction. "Yeah... let's run.... run like the wind bullseye." Sparrow said. "Yep." Maverick commented. "Yeah... yeah run." Rooster commented as the three of them took off running.

......

The trio had came up to two planes, two F-14s which Sparrow had experience with because of her father. Sparrow checked over everything then looked at Maverick and Rooster. "They'll need gas, don't worry I got the other plane." Sparrow said as she looked at the other plane then she went to connect the gas hose to the plane that she was flying. Sparrow look over the planes and sighed. "I hope these fossils can fly because I got to get home with these two, I promised, I promised my dad." Sparrow said to herself before she climbed up the ladder to hop into the plane

"Dad you flew in this, holy..." Sparrow said looking at the controls. Sparrow smiled as she saw the gas levels increasing, she was also relieved. "Guess these fossils work after all, thank goodness." Sparrow said with relief. "Sparrow, you sure you can handle flying that?" Maverick asked her. "Once again, I think your forgetting Maverick, my father might've been WSO but I have flown in one of these before.... I think I can manage." Sparrow replied which caused them both to smile at her. Sparrow turned on the personal tracker that was equipped on her flight suit.

"Sir, we're picking up a signal from Sparrow in a F-14?" The communications operator questions which caused Wolfman to lift his head up. "Wait my daughter... in a F-14?" Wolfman questioned and they nodded. "That's my girl." Wolfman said with a smile.

Rooster unconnected both of the gas hoses before climb in behind Maverick. They pulled out and realize the taxi way was shorten due to it being destroy. "Both runways are cratered. How are we going to get these museum pieces in the air?" Rooster questioned them. Sparrow looked over at Maverick and nodded. The wings started to come out. "Um, why are they wings coming out?" Rooster questioned them but both of them stayed silent. "Uh you two, you seem confused, this is a taxi way, which is a very very short runway." Rooster explained. Maverick and Sparrow looked at each other, this was blast in the past for Maverick because Merlin and him did this once, now he was doing this with Wolfman's Kid. Sparrow nodded, both of them flipping the engine switch once more.

"We got this.. we got this, don't worry everyone, we are coming home safe." Sparrow whispered to herself as she grasped the accelerator tightly before blasting it the full way. "Oh shit!" Rooster yells as they both go full speed down the taxiway. They get up in the air, Maverick damaging the landing gear in the process as Sparrow damaged the one on hers as well. "Well damn, hope that's not an issue later., but we'll get that problem when it comes to it." Sparrow said.
