"This is what I call a target-rich environment," Maverick says with a smirk as he and Goose walk into a bar while he looks around at all of the women.

"You live your life between your legs, Mav," Goose says as he pats Maverick on the shoulder while they make their way over to the bar.

"Goose, even you could get laid in a place like this," Maverick jokes as he continues to look around before his eyes land on Raven and his sister leaned against the bar while scanning the crowd.

Iceman takes a drink as he listens to the girl next to him talk while his eyes stay on Raven. The fact that she would never give him the time of day is what he has him interested in her.

"Ladies," Goose says with a playful smile as he squeezes between the two girls before wrapping an arm around each of their shoulders.

"Here you go," Matrix says as she hands Goose a beer.

"Thanks, honey," Goose continues to joke around, causing Matrix to smile while shaking her head.

Raven hands Maverick a beer which causes him to smile at her before holding it out to her. Raven taps her bottle against his before they both take a drink while staring at each other.

"Mav," Goose says as he notices Iceman on the other side of the room with his aviators on. "You wanted to know who the best is?" Goose motions over to Iceman, who is once again taking a drink. "That's him. Iceman. That's the way he flies, ice-cold, no mistakes." Maverick watches as Iceman talks to the woman beside him. "Just wears you down. You get bored, frustrated, do something stupid, and he's got you."

"Hey, hey, Slider," Raven says as she gets the attention of Iceman's RIO before she motions to Slider's uniform as he stops. "Thought you wanted to be a pilot. What happened?"

"Raven, you're such an ass," Slider responds with a shake of his head and a smile on his face, causing Maverick to glare at him until he sees Raven smiling. "Whose dick did you suck to get in here?"

"Well, the list is long but distinguished," Raven remarks with a sarcastic smirk and a wink.

"Well, so is my johnson," Slider retorts with a suggestive motion towards his privates before throwing back a shot.

"So you're flying with Iceman, huh?" Goose asks as he takes a drink of his beer while changing the subject.

"It's Mr. Iceman to you," Slider says as he points at Iceman, who is walking up to them.

"Hey, Mother Goose," Iceman says as he and Goose shake hands. "Deadly Raven. How's it going?"

"Good, Tom," Goose says with a nod before looking over at Maverick, who is leaned against the bar. "This is Pete Mitchell." Maverick and Iceman shake hands. "That's his sister, Poppy. And this is Tom Kazansky."

"Congratulations on Top Gun," Iceman says with a smirk as he looks Raven over.

"Thanks," Maverick says with a nod.

"Sorry to hear about Cougar," Iceman explains as he reaches in between Maverick and Raven to grab some peanuts off of the bar. "He and I were like brothers in flight school. He was a good man."

"Still is a good man," Raven is quick to correct Iceman with a glare.

"Yeah, that's what I meant," Iceman agrees with a nod.

"Thought so," Maverick says as he looks away from Iceman while taking a drink of his beer.

"Say, you need any help?" Iceman asks as he turns to fully face Maverick.

"With what?" Maverick asks as he looks back over at Iceman.

"You figured it out yet?" Iceman asks him another question with a smirk.

"What's that?" Maverick responds as he once again looks away from Iceman.

"Who's the best pilot," Iceman reminds him of his question from class.

"No, I think I can figure that one out on my own," Maverick answers as he looks back at Iceman in challenge.

"I heard that about you," Iceman says with a nod. "You like to work alone." Iceman and Maverick look at each other in challenge to see who would make the first move.

"Mav, you must've soloed under a lucky star, huh?" Slider asks which causes Maverick to look over at him. "I mean, first the MiG, and then you guys slide into Cougar's spot."

"We didn't slide into Cougar's spot. It was ours, okay?" Goose quickly corrects him.

"Some pilots wait their whole career just to see a MiG up close," Slider explains as he looks over at Maverick and Raven. "Guess you four are lucky and famous, huh?" Iceman and Slider both down a shot.

"No, you mean notorious," Iceman corrects him with a laugh before sending Raven a wink. "I'll see you later."

"You can count on it," Maverick replies as he takes a step in front of Raven in a jealous manner before Slider and Iceman walk away from them.

"They were abused children," Goose jokes in an attempt to make Maverick smile and to kill the tension.

"We're gonna have a good time," Matrix announces as she pats Maverick on the shoulder and looks over at Raven with a smirk.

"Always," Goose agrees as they all four tap their beer bottles together.

"Okay, I guess it's my turn, isn't it?" Goose asks as he notices that Maverick is once again checking out the ladies. "All right, the bet is $20."

"Twenty dollars," Maverick agrees as he looks back over at Goose, who shares a look with Matrix since they planned to allow Maverick the chance to make a move on Raven.

"You have to have carnal knowledge, of a lady this time, on the premises," Goose sets up the bet while Maverick starts to look around.

"On the premises," Maverick repeats as he locks eyes on a blonde sitting down at the bar.

"Come on, Mav. A bet's a bet," Goose encourages as Maverick's eyes do not leave the blonde despite Goose trying to get his attention on Raven.

"I don't know, it just... it just doesn't seem fair. For you I mean," Maverick explains as he pats Goose on the shoulder. "But... She's lost that lovin' feeling."

"She's lost?" Goose goes to repeat as he looks over at the blonde before Maverick grabs his shoulder. "No, she hasn't."

"Yes, she has," Maverick states with a nod.

"She has not lost that..." Goose argues as he glances between the blonde and Maverick.

"Goose, she's lost it," Maverick finalizes as he walks away from Goose.

"I hate it when she does that," Goose pouts before he follows after Maverick.

"I'm finishing my beer then I'm out of here," Raven tells Matrix as Goose catches up to Maverick. "Go, have fun. I'll be fine."

"Excuse me, miss," Maverick says as he taps the blonde on the shoulder while Matrix gathers up some of the other pilots.

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry, I'll take care of this," Goose says as he steps between the blonde and Maverick with his aviators on.

"You never close your eyes anymore. When I kiss your lips," Maverick sings as he points at the blonde.

"There's no tenderness like before in your fingertips," Goose sings as a few other pilots start to snap.

"You're trying hard not to show it," Maverick takes back over singing before the other pilots join in. The blonde looks around at pilots with a smile on her face.

"Sit down," The blonde tells Maverick, causing the pilots to cheer while Maverick sits down beside the blonde.

Raven shakes her head before making her way out of the bar, knowing she should not have expected anything less from Maverick.

"You need a ride?" Iceman asks from where he is leaned against his 1976 GMC Sierra.

"Sure, why not?" Raven responds with a shrug after thinking about it for a moment. It's not like she was going to fall for anyone else anytime soon.
