*Over the next four years at their respective military academies, Summers and Tracy Galloway had very different career trajectories.

For Summers, life at the Eagleland Naval Academy was completely different from her life with the Galloways in Fourside. Cause for the first time since she was eight years old, she was once again alone in the world. Alone and very different from the other 1,200 newbie officers or "plebes". But that did not stop Summers from excelling in a variety of naval academics. This included deep sea diving and swimming, oceanography, and marine biology. In fact, Summers excelled in almost every area in and around the ocean. It almost like the ocean was calling her home. And she couldn't deny it anymore either. It was like she had, for the lack of a better explanation, "water on the brain", in more ways than one.

And after graduating Magna cum Laude from the Naval Academy, the military higher ups finally stuck some fancy alphabet soup at the front of Summers Galloway's name and called her a science officer of the Eagleland Navy.

This was followed up with nearly two years of service aboard some low rank science vessel in the middle of nowhere. It was not the ideal choice for Summers. Not at all. She wanted to serve aboard a submarine to see and explore the ocean depths. Like she always dreamed of doing since before even joining the Navy. But alas, they reject her application, sighting several complications. Complications? Not in the slightest. It was more like bullshit and politics. And this never sat well with Summers at all. In fact, in continued to nag at her over the next two years of service.

And so seven years later, Summers Galloway is now around 25 years old and a Lieutenant in the Eagleland Navy. She is now stationed at the Eagleland Naval Base on the Alola Islands and is between assignments, having finish her mandatory post-graduation assignment.

As Summers swims laps in the Olympic size pool at the Alola Naval Base, our story once again continues to unfold.....*

Aquatic Training Center - Alola Naval Base

*A slender figure now walks up the edge of the pool and watches Summers do laps back and forth for a few minutes. The figure then calls out to Summers with an almost forgotten, but familiar voice...*

Figure: SUMMERS! SUMMERS GALLOWAY!

*Summers now stops swimming and resurfaces in front of the figure. Summers now looks up to see a familiar face to go along with the voice. The startled Summers now smiles as she tells the figure ....*

Summers: TRACY?!

*Tracy Galloway just nods her head and tells her....*

Tracy: Yep, that's me. It's been a while, hasn't it?

Summers: Sure if you consider SEVEN YEARS awhile.

Tracy: Hey, that wasn't by choice.

Summers: I am sure it wasn't.

Tracy: It wasn't. But I was always sure our paths would cross again at some point. And here we are.

Summers: Yeah, here we are. So....

*Summers now gets out of the pool and begins dry off with her towel as she asks Tracy...*

Summers: Why are you here anyways, Tracy?

Tracy: Well let's just say, our paths are gonna cross alot more frequently from now on.

Summers: Really? Are you serious?

Tracy: I am always serious nowadays, you can't afford not to be in the military.

Summers: That is so true.

Women's Locker Room - Alola Naval Base

*Tracy now stands outside the women's locker room and continues to talk to Summers as she changes out of her swim gear.*

Tracy: So how is military life treating you anyways?

Summers: As good as it can. I imagine it's going just as well as it is for you.

Tracy: *mumbles softly* You would think so, wouldn't you.

*The story now flashes back to show Tracy Galloway's arrival at the Eagleland Air Force Academy. And even though Tracy knew she was born to fly, she struggled academically. She still made it through, just not near the top of her class like Summers.

Eventually Tracy Galloway did in fact become an ace pilot. And although she was considered be downright reckless at times, she was one of the best. It was through her flying skills alone that she earned the rank of Captain. But after a night mission that went horribly wrong, Tracy no longer has the nerves or stomach for combat flight. Instead, she now the top experimental test pilot. A career move that she finds much less stressful, but still just as fulfilling.

And it was through this career move, that Tracy and Summers once again cross paths seven year later.

We now flash back to the present after a few moments of silence. Summers now calls out to the silent Tracy....*

Summers: What was that?

Tracy: It's going great, Summers. Never better.

Summers: That's good. So it would be safe to assume that this unexpected visit is about my next assignment then?

Tracy: You would assume correct.

*Summers now exits the women's locker room and tells Tracy...*

Summers: Then what are we waiting for? Let's get on with it. I am dying to leave this place and not waste my career any longer.

Tracy: Let's get going then.

Center Exit - Alola Naval Base

*Both ladies now walk towards the exit of the Aquatic Training Center. Tracy now stops at the door and tells Summers...*

Tracy: Summers?

Summers: Yeah, Tracy?

Tracy: Before we go any further and I forget, I have something to give back to you.

Summers: Okay. What is it, Tracy?

*Tracy now reaches into her olive flight suit's pocket and tells Summers....*

Tracy: This.

*Tracy now pulls out the onyx pendant and hands it too Summers. Summers now stares at for a few moments. Summers now asks Tracy....*

Summers: My pendant? Where did you get this, Tracy?

Tracy: Where do think I got it?

*Summers now thinks for a moment and remembers her adopted mother Tessa. Tears now begin to well up in her eyes as she tells Tracy....*

Summers: Mom gave it to you, didn't she?

Tracy: Of course. She meant to give it back to you the day you left. But she forgot. So she gave it to me. And now...

Summers: And now you are giving it back to me?

Tracy: Yes, I am. I promised I would.

*Summers now puts the pendant back around her neck along with her dog tags. Summers now tells Tracy....*

 Summers: Thank you, Tracy.

Tracy: No thank you, Summers.

*Both ladies now embrace in a hug. Tracy now tells Summers....*

Tracy: Ready to go now?

*Summers just nods her head in agreement and tells Tracy....*

Summers: Ready as I'll ever be.

Tracy: Well then move out, Lieutenant. On the double.

*Summers tells her with a comical tone....*

Summers: Aye aye, Captain!

*Summers now salutes Tracy, who shakes her head. She now tells Summers....*

Tracy: You will never change, Summers Galloway.

Summers: You got that right!

*Tracy opens the door and tells Summers....*

Tracy: After you then.

Summers: If you say so.

*Summers now exits the building as Tracy continues to watch her sister. Tracy now smiles and tells herself quietly....*

Tracy: At least, I kept my promise.

*Tracy now shakes her head and exits the building to catch up with her sister.*
