Slider: Why are you smiling?
Ice: What, I'm not allowed to smile just because I feel like it?
Goose: Maverick tripped and fell down the stairs...
Slider: lol.
Iceman: Don't do anything stupid, Mav.
Maverick: Define stupid.
Thinking about Thunderbird Shadow's bird feet like...
da air force didn’t like my idea of airplanes with big bird feet as a tactical advantage and discharged me dishonorably
Maverick: Do you think I could fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?
Iceman: *facepalms* You're a hazard to society...
Slider: And a coward, do 20!
Yeah they're gonna say that
He ain't the kind to hold my hand
He ain't gonna try to understand
Nothing under the surface
He's just looking for a pretty face
But they got it all wrong
I got it all right
They say they just don't see it
But I saw it at first sight

“… But most of all, I’m thankful for my family.”
Thiiiiis… didn’t get done as early as I wanted it to, but it’s still technically Thursday (and therefore Thanksgiving) in some parts of the US, so I won’t fuss. But I wanted to do some nice vignettes of the family having Thanksgiving together. Especially after the things that have happened in Season 2, I think they all need some family time to recuperate! I was planning on adding Kayo and Brains in the Scott picture but i just ran out of time and energy after today. But I hopefully can do a little follow up picture with them so they’re not left out <333
So here you go, Thanksgiving with the Tracys! Featuring Virgil, Grandma and MAX making the meal (with some possible off-screen help from EOS), setting the table with Gordon and Alan (sword fights with the butter knives are an extra service), EOS making sure to hold all the heavy, breakable dishes for stil-slightly-space-sick John to serve himself with (headcanon that he came down with just enough time to not be a bed-ridden blob in his room, but he’s still not very used to Earth), and of course, Scott leading the family in a toast.
After his death, Slider replaces Iceman as COMPACFLT.
When he enters the office for the first time, there is a neatly written note left on the desk:
Dear Admiral Kerner,
Have fun with Maverick.
- Ice.
Slider: GODDAMNIT, TOM!
@myladykayo I'm so glad you like it!
Miss Kayo 🖤
K, but imagine.
Tin-Tin is Kayo's long lost little sister.
That she never knew about, cos Mr Kyrano hid her away, from the Hood, or some backstory garbage.
But then they reunite.
And then they form a wonderful, adorable relationship.
And probably Alan ends up falling for her.
And maybe they get married one day.
And then Kayo becomes officially, officially, a Tracy sibling because now Alan is her brother in law.
Just.
Think about it.
The event Goose is referring to, when he tells Maverick he must have carnal knowledge "of a lady this time" was the night before they were deployed on the Enterprise.
Maverick had been boasting about being able to pick up a date anywhere so, when they walked into the bar to find it apparently full of exclusively men (and mostly navy men at that), Goose bet Maverick $20 that he wouldn't be able to find some to go home with that night.
What Goose had apparently underestimated, was just how persistent Mav could be when presented with a challenge. Totally unphased, he struck up a conversation with a taller man sitting at the bar. Mav steadily, not so subtly, began flirting with him and he good-natured flirted back, until Maverick began to proposition him for real.
That was about the point when Goose realised that his dumbass of a pilot was actually serious, and pulled him away, marching him back home before he could get any of them into trouble.
The next morning, they were greeted with something of a surprise... Boarding the Enterprise, they were introduced to other members of their squadron and, typically of Pete Mitchell's propensity for shenanigans, there was the man from last night.
Goose felt about ready to expire with embarrassment on Mav's behalf. Pete just groaned, letting his head fall into his hand. The stranger, however, thought it was hilarious and just burst out laughing. He introduced himself as Cougar, and the man beside him (his RIO) as Merlin.
"Goose. Maverick." Nick responded, giving his pilot a long-suffering look.
Pete just groaned, again. Cougar laughed. "Well, I'm sorry to have to break your heart then, Maverick," He teased, "But, I'm married."
Mav opened his mouth and then shut it again. "You're- You- Why- Why the hell were you flirting with me, then?" He managed to get out, semi-outraged.
Cougar shrugged and nodded at Goose. "I heard your friend here make you a bet. Figured it wouldn't hurt to humour you a little, help a brother out y'know."
A grin began to spread it's way across Maverick's face. He threw an arm round his new acquaintance. "You know, Cougar, I think you and I are going to be very good friends."
Cougar laughed. "Count on it."
