Summary
Bradley wakes up late on Tuesday morning. It's the third week of classes and he'd stayed up too late in the lounge with the other guys watching the game. His alarm should have gone off at 7:30, but he probably forgot to set it the night before. He wakes up to a pounding on his door at 8:50, and by 8:55 the world has changed.
Going to war. Uncle Wood says they're going to war and yeah, Bradley thinks to himself dumbly, that makes sense. But if the nation is going to war, his entire family is going with it.
-----
Or: Bradley hasn't spoken to his family in a year, when he stormed out and never looked back. Now, the World Trade Center is in flames and his family is being deployed. Returning home is never simple, but maybe it can start with a phone call. -

Summary
Summer, 1993. Maverick really did quit the Navy after Goose died. Now he lives alone in Manhattan, plagued with nightmares and a guilt that tries to drown him. His calls with Carole and Ice are the only things keeping him afloat.
Until the day he runs into Goose.
Alive.
Or:
An unlucky and extremely well-timed series of lazy errors led to Goose being wrongfully declared dead and waking up in a New York City morgue — left hurt and tortured by memories of a past he barely remembers. But he and Maverick will find each other again. Like they were always meant to. Even if it takes seven years.

Summary
“Here it is,” Carole says, bringing Mav’s wheelchair to a stop.
Mav’s mouth is dry. He aches for another cup of water. “Carole, tell me something, and don’t lie to me.”
“Anything, Maverick.”
“How bad does he look?”
Carole is quiet for a while. Then she comes around and kneels in front of Mav, taking both of his hands in her own. Her eyes swim with tears. “If I didn’t know any better,” she says, voice breaking, “I’d think he was dead.”

Or, Goose is alive when they hit the water. That's enough.

Title from "Into the West."
