Phoenix starts writing Natasha Shen-Trace on her notebook when she is eighteen because Callie Shen appeared in front of her during a presentation and now she can't thing of anybody else. She still doesn't have a callsign or knows what a callsign is but she is going to merry Callie, just as she is sure she is going to be a aviator for the Navy.
The first time Callie, now Halo, see Natasha, now Phoenix, she is almost thirty and the other woman is twenty eight. They're both at a conference and Halo is there to help Admiral Kazansky with the various delegations, even he doesn't need to. Someone, who she will soon learn is the Admiral's husband, makes Phoenix laugh and everyone is watching at her and Halo is awestruck because her laugh as such a nice sound, one of those you want just to listen and listen all over again.
They meet, in the end, at TOP GUN when the same Admiral's husband is having the time of his life making their lives impossible. Halo makes the first step introducing herself the night before the beginning of the lesson and Phoenix almost spills her beer on both of them. Oh she is cute is all Halo's brain can think and she is even cutter when she blushes because she realises who she is. Phoenix's hand is soft when they shake it and is soft around her waist when Bradley Bradshaw sits in front of a piano and starts to sing and she make her stay there with them. Halo doesn't know the song but everyone is laughing and singing and she doesn't really want to leave now.
(Phoenix takes all her courage between her hands and kisses Halo's cheek when they're saying their goodnights. She knows she is blushing but Halo is smiling back at her and oh that was totally worth it.)
