Summary: Olivia Benson has been recruited into the U.S. Army, and thinks it's a living hell, until she meets a certain Marine, Elliot Stabler, who is checking out her base. After a night of fun, the two promise to never forget each other. They meet again, four years later, and what happens next, changes everything for Olivia. What happens when sparks fly between the two, and what happens when they meet up again, as partners, 22 years later? Not to mention their daughter must find her way back home after finding out who she really is, after being raised in a totally different country. Plus, an old suspect returns, planning to make Olivia's life even more miserable than before. Somewhat based on August Rush. :)


October 20, 1988

Eighteen year old Olivia Benson paced the floors of the room she and her best friend, Erin Cabot, shared, at Fort Drum. It was her third month at basic training, and she was already trying to figure out a way to bail. She had never wanted to join the army, yet here she was, starting her numberous years of training, before being shipped off to God knows where.

This had all been her mother's fault. It was because of Serena Benson, that Olivia had been forced into military school, forced to graduate a top cadet, and now she had been forced to join the army.

"Hey Liv, guess what I heard" Erin said, walking into the room. Once she saw her friend, and the look on her face, she laughed, amused at how desperate Olivia was to escape. "Liv, it's not that bad" she said, as she took a seat on her bed.

Olivia looked up at Erin and shook her head, confused as to how someone so young, would actually choose to be here. It was a tradition in Erin's family, that every son would serve the country, however, when Erin's mother wasn't able to have any other childern after her, she felt it was her job to keep the tradition alive.

"How can you say that? I feel like I'm fucking hyperventalating, and we're only in training. I can't be in the army, with the wars, and the guns, and the-"

"What did you say you wanted to be again?" Erin aked, inturrupting Olivia's rant. "Ah, I remember, a cop! Really, how much different are the two?" Erin gave Olivia a smug smile, and winked. She felt bad for her friend, after all, they were the only two women in the whole fort, and it only made matters worse that Olivia had a temper. Everytime someone looked at her the wrong way, or attempted to 'cop a feel', she would injure them in one way or another, which would land them a lecture from one of the lietenants.

"Smart ass" Olivia whispered, as she laid down on her bed. "What did you want to tell me?"

Erin stood up, and fixed her pants. "Well, apparently there's talk that some, hot, marines are coming to base today, you know what that means?"

Olivia looked at her friend and smirked. That was typical Erin. No matter how manly she acted, or looked, in her uniform, she was one of the biggest flirts, and 'girly girls', Olivia had ever known. "So, you plan on making your next victim a marine?" she asked, the smirk still plastered on her face, as she sat up and began to unbutton her shirt.

"Shut up" Erin replied with a laugh, before rolling her eyes, and flinging a book across the room, hitting her roommate in the arm.

Olivia bent down to untie her shoes, and relax, when there was a knock the door. The door opened, revealing their commanding officer Lieutenant Gregory Maguire. Once he stepped into the room, the two girls rose, immediately, saluting their superior, and stood at attention.

"At ease" he said, after saluting back. The girls relaxed, but stayed standing, knowing they weren't going to be relaxing anytime soon. "I'm sure you both are aware that we have some guests here at base."

Both girls nodded, before answering. "Yes Sir," they said, simultaneously.

"I expect things to carry on as normal." The lieutenant looked at the two girls, and grinned. He had to admit that these two were just as capable as taking care of themselves in a war than any other private, if not better. This, however, did not cause him to play favorites. If anything, he pushed them more than any of the men. "Cabot," he began, getting ready to leave, "keep Benson in check, will ya."

Erin looked up and grinned, as Olivia looked at Maguire and glared at him. She knew he cared for her, but that didn't mean he had to always pick on her. "Yes Sir" Erin said, as their lieutenant left the room.

"Why does everyone think I need a fucking babysitter" Olivia spat, as she finished unbuttoning her shirt, revealing her white tank under her uniform.

Erin only laughed. "Come on" she said, grabbing her arm, pulling her out of the room, "let's go meet the, company."

Olivia sighed, loudly, hoping Erin would realize what she was trying to get across. She didn't give a damn about who was here. She didn't give a damn about training. She didn't even want to be here for Christ's sake.

Olivia pulled her arm out of Erin's grip, before placing her hands in her pockets. The two walked down the hall of the fort, until they came to the training room. Erin quickly peaked inside, and judging by the crowd at the far end of the room, she could tell that the marines were inside.

"Oh, they're in there!" Erin squealed, unconciously fixing her hair.

Olivia leaned against the door frame, her hands till jammed in her pockets. "Fan-fucking-tastic" she said, sarcastically, biting her bottom lip, wondering how long it would take for her to get inot more trouble.

Erin opened the door and stepped inside. "Come on Benson" she said, before grabbing Olivia's wrist, and yanking her inside the room. "Let's go meet them" she said, eagerly.

Olivia rolled her eyes. Erin was her best friend, but sometimes she got a little ahead of herself. "What makes you think I want to meet them?"

"Because, you, Olivia Benson," she began, as the two continued to walk towards the crowd, "need to get laid!"

Olivia stopped, dead in her tracks, slightly appauled at Erin's comment. She opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off when she heard an unwanted voice from behind. "You're right Cabot" the two heard the man say, as he pressed his body up against Olivia's.

Olivia rolled her eyes again, and took a step away from him. "Beat it Cassidy."

Olivia tried to walk away, but was stopped, when another man, stepped in front of her. "Looks like someone's been working out" Cassidy said, as his right hand found its way to her butt, while his left held her shoulder, trying to keep her still.

She quickly jerked away from him, and pushed him into the wall, holding his hands behind his back. "Son of a bitch, keep your hands off me."

Before she knew what hit her, Olivia fell back, landing on the floor. Her hand immediately wiped her lip, allowing her to see the blood from her now busted lip. Olivia looked up and saw, not only Bryton Cassidy, but his best friend Evan Michaels, standing over her, blocking Erin from getting to Olivia.

This caught the attention of a few privates, who were eager for some type of entertainment. "Benson's getting her ass handed to her!" someone yelled, as Cassidy threw a punch to Olivia's face, who couldn't defend herself, due to the fact that she was being held down by Evan.

Soon everyone in the room shifted their focus on the fight happening in the corner, including the three marines, seated at the table near the end of the room.

"Stop!" Erin pleaded, but was only pushed back into the wall, by the crowd that began to form around the three.

"Get the fuck off me" Olivia screamed, trying to break free from Evan, who only pushed her face to the floor.

"How does it feel Benson" Evan laughed, applying more pressure on her head.

Olivia tried to push herself up, off the floor, but failed. "She said get the hell off her" the three heard. Olivia smiled, recognizing the voice. Before anyone could react, a punch was thrown, landing on Evan's jaw.

As soon as Evan released his grip on Olivia, she sprang up, grateful to see her friend, Erik Douglas, standing inbetween her, and a frightened looking Cassidy.

"Thanks, but I do believe I said 'get the fuck off me' " she said before landing a blow to the other side of Evan's face.

Erik smiled, extending a hand down to Olivia. She took it, and allowed him to lift her off the ground. "Thanks" she said, glaring at the crowd of men around her.

"No problem" Erik said, before moving aside, giving Olivia access to Bryton.

Olivia walked up to him, grabbed his collar, and yanked him toward her. "Don't you dare-"

She was quickly inturrupted bye the sound of a whistle, which rang throughout the room. "Benson! Cassidy!" Olivia froze. She knew she had been caught, which ment things would definitely not end well. Olivia quickly released Cassidy's collar, before turning to face Lieutenant Maguire. "What the hell happened here?" He looked at both Bryton and Olivia, who both stayed quiet. Brying wasn't going to risk getting into more trouble, and Olivia didn't need her lieutenant to help her out. "Fine," he said, before scanning the room. "Michaels, what happened?"

Evan looked at Bryton, then at Olivia, before focusing on Maguire. "Sir, we were walking, when Private Benson struck Private Cassidy."

"That's a lie!" Olivia yelled, taking a step towards Evan, who counteracted by stepping back a few inches.

"What happened?" Maguire asked Olivia once more, this time more stern, as he placed his arm in front of her, keeping her from attacking anyone else.

Olivia sighed. "Private Cassidy gropped me." There were a few snickers heard from the crowd of men. "I pushed him against the wall, when Private Michaels struck me in the face."

Lieutenant Maguire nodded. "From what I saw, this was not a fair fight. So here's what I'm going to do." With that, Maguire turned and walked to the center of the room. "Cassidy! Benson!"

The two looked at each other, before walking to their lieutenant, the crowd following close behind. "You want to fight?" he asked, when the two had reached him. "Then do it the right way." He got off the mat, as the two faced each other.

"Easy" Bryton mumbled to himsself, as he bent down and tightened his shoes.

Olivia sighed, rolling her eyes, as she took off her unbuttoned, uniform, shirt. She threw it over her shoulder, and glaced over at Maguire, who was talking to the marines, all of whom looked interested in what was going on.

"Ten bucks Benson kicks his ass." Olivia looked up at the crowd around them and smirked. She knew Maguire had done this, knowing she would win, hoping it would prove she could hold her own ground.

Olivia stood up straight, and stretched, egging Cassidy to make the first move.

He did.

He rushed over to her, throwing the first punch, which Olivia easily blocked. She responded with a kick, knocking him down to the mat. This was going to take less time than she thought.

Cassidy quickly got up and ran up behind her, wrapping her arms around her body. "A little below standards, don't you think?" he asked, referring to her attire. She knew he would be distracted by her body, giving her the upperhand.

Olivia laughed to herself when she felt him, pressed up against her. "Yeah, well that's not the only thing below, standards." she said, referring to his 'equiptment', or lack of, earning a few laughs from the crowd of men.

Cassidy bent his head down to her neck and inhaled, breathing in a mix of her vanilla body wash and sunscreen. "Mm, hitting a little below the belt, don't you think?"

Olivia wiggled, trying to get free. "No. This is" she said, as she elbowed him in the groin.

He quickly let her go, as he used his hands to hold himself. When he had released his grip on her, Olivia threw her head back, hitting Cassidy in the face, breaking his nose.

Bryton fell back onto the mat, with one hand inbetween his legs, and the other on his nose, covered in blood.

Olivia turned, looking down at the injured man, and smiled. She bent down to the crying man, and her smile became wider. "Don't you ever touch me" she said, patting his head, before standing back up and walking to where she threw her shirt. She grabbed it off the floor and used it to wipe her face free of the blood and sweat both fights had caused.

"Impressive Beons" Lieutenant maguire said, stepping onto the mat. "Anyone else think they can take Benson, step up now, or forever hold your peace" he said, with a small chuckle. He scanned the room, grinning, when everyone looked down, avoiding his eyes.

He turned back to Olivia, placing a hand on her shoulder, but before he could speak, the two heard an unfamiliar voice. "I'll take a go at her." They both turned to see a man walk out from the middle of the crowd.

Olivia, after realizing it was one of the marines she had seen earlier, looked at Maguire, who only shrugged. "Let's see what you got."

He walked off the mat, as the marine walked closer, meeting Olivia in the middle. He extended a hand, which she stared at, before shaking it. "Impressive" he said, looking into her eyes.

Olivia looked back, almost getting lost in his beautiful blue eyes. "Thanks" she whispered.

The marine smiled, noticing that their hands were still locked. "What's your name?"

Olivia just stared, speechless, until she felt someone nudge her. "Earth to Olivia! Hot marine is talking to you!" Erin whispered, hoping to help her friend out.

Olivia opened her mouth to speak, but stopped when she saw the gorgeous man in front of her grin. "Forget your own name?" he said, chuckling slightly.

Olivia blinked and shook her head. "Oh, uh, Olivia. My name's Olivia. Olivia Benson." She looked away from his eyes, noticing that she was still holding his hands, and blushed, quickly dropping it in the process.

He laughed, amused when he saw the shade of pink creep onto her tan cheeks. "It's a beautiful name" he whispered.

Olivia nodded, fully aware that she was acting like a love sick puppy in front of him, her lieutenant, not to mention most of the base. "Thanks, and uh, you are?" she asked, nervously, when she had finally gained some composure.

He looked down, staring back into her chocolate brown eyes, and smiled. "Elliot" he said, his eyes never leaving hers. "I'm Elliot Stabler."


Ok, so what do you think?

Should I continue?
