This is my first attempt at Robotech fan fiction. So please be gentle, NOT. Tell me if I suck. How else are we going to improve? Some of the guys made seem OC. I apologies for that. After all it is fiction ;) Roy and Ben will still be alive in this story

[Out here again...] Rick thought. His VT cruising over the battled scarred earth, kicking up dust and dirty as he flew in low. He wasn't worried about any obstructions or possible collisions. [So much destruction... so much death] he thought. [Ha, I'm starting to sound Kyle] he cursed himself quietly as thoughts of Kyle lead to thoughts of Minmei [I wonder what's she up to now, probably busy with her career... and Kyle...] he thought bitterly.
"Hey skipper", sounded Rick's comm. "Are you awake skipper?"
The voice of his wingman Ben Dixon woke him from his train of thought. It was probably a good thing that he did. Getting depressed about Minmei was the last thing he wanted. Especially while piloting.
"Weren't you listening? I've been trying to raise you on the radio for the last 5 minutes."
"Sorry Ben, I guess I zoned out for a bit and how many times do I have to tell you. I'm not your skipper."
"Yeah what ever, skipper. How much longer to we have to stay out here?" he complained. "I mean it's been nearly 7 hours straight and we still have not found anything."
"I know what you mean. But I guess the high command is still worried about some of the Zentraedi up rising. No offence Max."
"None taken. I know you care for Miriya and Dana. She thinks that you are part of the family." Max chimed in.
Rick smiled at Max's response. He was lucky to have Max as a close friend. He did consider the Sterling's as family and wonder where he would be if Max was not around. [Most likely in a meat locker with the rest of the unlucky pilots...]
"Come on skipper, I'm getting hungry" Ben whined over the comm.
"Ben, you're always hungry." Rick responded. All shared a laugh when a large signal appeared on their radars.

"So what's the latest news, Kim?" Vanessa questioned.
Since the fighting with the Zentraedi have almost stopped completely. The trio spent the majority of their time discussing gossip. Gossip that especially centered on Rick Hunter and Lisa Hayes love/hate relationship.
"Hmmm, let me think." Kim replied
"Yeah Kim, what's the happening in the soap opera world of Rick and Lisa?" Sammy said.
Sammy had over heard Vanessa and decided to get involved.
"And don't forget Minmei. Can't have a good soap with a love triangle" said Kim.
"Ok. I heard from one of the MP that patrol the staff and officer living quarters, that Lisa goes into Rick's place when he is on a flight and cleans up."
"Oh my god. Is that true?" Sammy question.
"Of course. My sources are reliable and even if it wasn't true it's a pretty good rumor anyway." Kim replied smartly
"Man... that's pretty deep. You would have thought that a women like Lisa would have never have fallen so hard for a guy." Vanessa asked to no one in particular.
"I know - you wouldn't see me hung up on a guy like that", Kim answered.
"I guess that's why you always monitor corporal Dixon's VT when he's on missions", Vanessa said smartly.
Kim blushed and suddenly found her console very interesting.
"But you have to understand sweetheart, that love is a powerful emotion and can not be easily over come or pushed aside".
"Claudia, I didn't know you were there". Vanessa said, trying to look like she was doing work. Sammy was also surprised by Claudia's appearance and tried to do the same. Kim was still blushing and looking at her console.
"Hahaha... It's alright guys. I've heard the rumors as well. In fact Lisa and I have spoken to about Rick on many occasions." Claudia answered half laughing as she watched the girls try and cover up their gossiping. [I guess things wouldn't be as interesting without the girls here.]
"Then you would know all juicy stuff" Vanessa asked Claudia.
"Yeah spill" / "Tell us" Kim and Sammy asked at the same time.
"Sorry girls but Lisa trusted me with this stuff and you know how hard it is to get Lisa to open up to someone," Claudia answered. She continued before any of the trio could response "But I have something better in mind." she said grinning like a cat.
"What" / "How" all three replied looking eager to help.
"Since Lisa is with the captain at the moment I guess I can tell you..." said Claudia.
All three officers then surrounded Claudia as she discussed her plan.
****
"How did your meeting go, sir" Lisa asked.
"Hmmm..." Gloval responded.
They were in his office. Gloval had spun his chair around and was glazing out his window with his pipe. Lisa sat in one of the visitor chairs with her notes and hands neatly placed on top of her lap.
"Is something the matter sir?" Lisa asked
"Nothing to worry about... Not yet anyway. How are the patrols going?" he asked
"Fine. Since the Zentraedi have become allies. We have experience very little disturbances. Presently we have vermillion squadron and the usually cat eye recon aircrafts on patrol."
"I see. Lisa, tell me what do you think of pilot Hunter?" Gloval asked smiling still facing the window. Everyone knew Lisa had feelings for the young pilot but was too afraid to act on them. Gloval didn't mean to harass his first officer on the subject, since he had some official business regarding Rick. But this still couldn't stop him from smiling.
"Wh... what do you mean, sir?" Lisa said, obliviously put off by the question [I hope Claudia didn't tell anyone. I'll kill her if she did] she thought angrily.
Gloval spun around and placed his elbows on his desk; resting his chin on his hands, pipe still in mouth. His captain's hat just hung below his eyes, covering them.
"Lisa, I'm not here to find out if some of the rumors I have been hearing around the base are true." Lisa blushed at this and suddenly found her papers very interesting. "I want to know your professional option about pilot Hunter?"
"Well sir..." Lisa started. "I... I think he is a exceptionally pilot and if he only listen to orders once in a while he could have a distinguish career in the RDF."
Taking his pipe out, the captain laugh at this. Even Lisa smiled at her own comment.
"But why do you ask, sir" Lisa followed up.
"I have been thinking about promoting Hunter to Lt. Commander, same rank as Roy Fokker."
"Oh..." [That we put him as the same rank as me...] Lisa thought.
"Does this bother you?" Gloval questioned, taking his pipe and taping the used tobacco out in his ashtray.
"I'm not sure. If you are asking me if a promotion will have a negative effect on his piloting, then no. But if you asking me if he will change and start acting like someone with responsibility..." Lisa said. Her interest in her papers had gone as well as the blushing. In fact Lisa was starting to sound a little angry.
"I see. I have not spoken to him regarding this, so I guess it we will have to wait and see what he says. He could always refuse the promotion." Gloval said, interrupting her.
"Captain Gloval, Lt. Hayes please report to the control room immediately." Sammy voiced ringed out of the SFD1's PA system
Both the captain and his first officer left quickly heading towards the control room. The discussion of Rick's promotion way from their minds.
****
"Hey Max are seeing what I'm seeing? Rick asked interrupting the laughter of his fellow pilots.
"Yeah. It doesn't look good. Last time something like this appeared on my radar was when we were back in space orbiting the earth and surrounded by the Zentraedi first fleet" Max replied.
"Well I guess that meal of yours will have to wait Corporal Dixon" Rick said, firing his burners and heading off to investigate the disturbance, leaving his wingman behind.
"Some people just don't have any manners and the worst timing." Ben said dejected, following vermillion 1. Max just shook his head at Ben's comment and proceeded followed.
