(A/n: this takes place after season 10 and instead of everyone on their way back to the blood gulch base they decided to stay in Valhalla. Some characters from seasons 11, 12, and 13 will be involved but not much.)

It was a nice sunny day in outpost Valhalla. The temperature was just right for both the reds and blues to wear their armor without getting to hot. Over at red base Sarge was yelling about how Grif/Griff was a lazy no good soldier, Simmons was being the usual kiss ass and donut was...... uh talking with doc.... yeah.... Lopez was working on the radio. The reds were currently on about how they would be attacking blue base. At blue base Tucker was sitting on the roof staring out at the waterfall wishing sister was there. Church and Carolina were sitting by the stream that came from the waterfall. Wash was outback working on the warthog. Then their was Caboose surprisingly no where near the base but near the crashed pelican that the UNSC and Project freelancer didn't remove. He was currently messing with the data compartment in hopes of getting sheila out to hang out with her. As he was tinkering the sound of engines roaring made him pause. "SANTA?!" He yelled before booking it back to blue base to see a pelican hovering.

"What the hell?" Wash asked as a man wearing a majors uniform walked off holding a box in his hand.

"I'm looking for a Private. Michael J. Caboose." The major said as tucker looked at the running rookie.

"The idiot is right over their." Tucker points as Caboose arrived.

"Hello son. I have a few letters from friends. They insisted that this be delivered directly to you. He said as caboose grabbed the box. The smell of chocolate chip filled everyones filter. The major then saluted and walked back onto the pelican flying away.

"OH MY GOSH GUYS SHE SENT ME LETTERS!" Caboose said as he tore into the package. "AND COOKIES WITH A TUB OF ORANGE JUICE!" Underneath the cookies in a plastic bag was 20 letters at least. 3 letters stood out amongst them. One was a yellow envelope with will and testament on the front. The second was of a black envelope that had cursive white writing. The third was a green envelope that had typing on it. Tucker could have sworn that he saw a picture of a half naked women under one of the envelopes. Blue team stared in confusion as the rookie ran inside to the kitchen.

"Was it just me or did that seem.... strange?" Church asked as wash Wash silent.

"He just said she...." Carolina pointed out as they investigated. Seconds later caboose poked his head out.....

"Uh Washington...." caboose whispered loudly.

"Yes caboose?" Wash asked as he noticed Cabooses helmet was off.

"Uh could you help me read some of these.... some of them have strange writing and really big words." He asked as he scanned around as if he was looking for something. "If you do I will let you have some orange juice with cookies."

"I would be happy to help." Wash said as caboose dragged him into the kitchen. On the table spread out were the letters. Wash did a slight double take when he saw the same picture that tucker did. On it was a number, a lip stick stain, and a call me soon. She looked to be cosplaying something.

"Alright Agent Washington your mission is to read these letters out loud to me as I think of ways to make church my best friend." Caboose said distracting wash for a second as he had the yellow envelope thrust into his hands.

"Okay then." He said still trying to grasp how caboose would react to the news. "Alright then." When he opened it a paper fell out along with a small card.

Dear Michael.
I'm sorry bro. Mom is gone. She has to go to sleep for a long time and won't wake up. She had wanted to say goodnight to you before she went to sleep but she never could get an information on you from the military. I couldn't bear to keep any of moms stuff so I had the lawyer leave everything to you.
With love,
Your brother.

Wash looked up at Caboose to see him smiling. "I'm so sorry." Wash said as caboose tilted his head.

"Why are you sorry agent Washington?" Caboose asked as a young child would.

"Uh I'm sorry but I don't think I can have any cookies. They are meant for you." He said as caboose gasped.

"YOU WILL HAVE COOKIES!" Caboose yelled before running to the cupboard and started to get bowls. "Please read the black one now." Wash chuckled sadly as he opened the next letter.

"Hello Michael. I know that this may seem strange, but I just recently heard about your mothers passing. She was an amazing woman I didn't deserve. I wish I could have been involved in your life more but after I had joined project free I wasn't ever able to see you. I should have been a better father but after all the encounters we had with you and your friends at whatever base you are at I couldn't bear it. Especially with that damn AI making me insane. I'm also sorry for hurting your friend. I hope that by me sending this letter we can begin a new and have a real father son relationship. Also tell that red Sargent that it looks like a big cat.
With sadness,
Maine Caboose

"What the actual fuck?" Tucker said as wash looked over his shoulder to see all of blue team and Red team standing their staring.

"Wait did I hear that correctly?" Grif/Griff asked as Carolina stayed silent.

"What is it?" Caboose asked confused as the entire group was in chaos in their mind. Except sarge. He was planning on what to do about killing Grif/Griff.

"Your father is the meta?!" Simmons asked scared.

"I mean it would explain his impressive strength and durability." Church said as he glowed green slightly. Delta appeared next to him on Carolinas shoulder.

"It would seem that the director was well aware of the connection between Agent Maine and Caboose." Delta diagnosed.

"But aren't we forgetting a crucial point in all of this?" Tucker said as everyone was confused. "Look at the writing. He mentioned the puma. Or warthog or whatever. He was sent into the ocean. He's alive!" Everything went silent before a ringing cleaved through the room.

"IT IS READY!" Caboose yelled as he put a pan of a dozen cookie balls into the oven.

"THE META IS ALIVE! THE META IS ALSO CABOOSES FUCKING FATHER!" Simmons yelled afraid.

"MY FATHER IS ALIVE?!" Caboose asked happily as he jumped up and down. Everyone sat down at the table. Tucker's eyes immediately found itself on the picture.

"HOLT SHIT CABOOSE WHO IS THIS SEXY WOMAN?!" Tucker cried as he examined the picture.

"Oh that's my friend from school. We were always close. She taught me lots of fun games like naked pool tag, strip poker, spin the bottle, though that was only between us for some reason, oh and the best one was naked wrestling!" Caboose said as everyone was slack jawed.

"Alright red team let's go." Sarge said dragging his team away.

"Holy fucking shit...." tucker muttered. "Caboose has a girlfriend... and a hot one at that..." he was obviously jealous.

"Can we get back to the more important thing? Like the meta?" Carolina asked though she was still quite intrigued by what else Caboose has done. Maybe she should have a 1 on 1 with him.

"Carolina I swear if you do that I will jump into wash and never ever get back in your head." Church said as she stopped.

"Oh Hell No! How is it that mr. Dumbfuck was able to get a girlfriend and have sex?!" Tucker argued before getting back handed by Wash.

"Look let me just finish reading the last letter for caboose then we can talk." Wash said as Caboose jumped up and down.

Dear Caboose,
It's me Angela. I miss you so much baby. That's why I joined the army. I was able to become a medic. I hope I am posted at your base. We can have lots of fun if I do. 😘.
With lots of love,
Angela caboose (xoxoxo)

"I swear if Cabooses girlfriend comes here I'm going to kill myself." Tucker said as the oven dinged again. Caboose pulled out the tray of freshly baked cookies.

"HERE YOU GO AGENT WASHINGTON!" Caboose said cheerfully as he seemed oblivious to the scene. Blue team sighed as they realized that this was going to be a long day of caboose being excited and tucker bitching about everything.
