Disclaimer: I own Jaira... no one else.
It starts the day when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Jaira MacCawley was taken with Danny Walker to Pearl Harbor because her brother, Rafe, was still in England. Jaira is in love with Danny and as time goes, their love grows stronger.
Chapter One: It's Starting
I watched the sun come up slowly at the beach. It was rather strange because I had a premonition that something was going to happen. As I sat near the water, I played with the sand, forming scribbles and doodles in my space... and then Danny came in my mind. Since our childhood days, I've known him because Rafe, my brother, was always friends with him, and unconsciously I fell in love with him at time. Intuitively, I wrote his name with mine next to his.
"What about me, Jaira?" a voice imputed, loud enough for me to hear. I jerked up and turned my head. It was Danny.
"Hi," I smiled, returning to the way I was. Little shivers ran down my spine as he sat down next to me.
"So, what about me?" he asked again, grabbing a handful of sand. I blushed, clutching my knees to my chest.
"Nothing... this week has been a blur and I was thinking about my brother, alive, and... you. It's not important-"
"Well, I want to know," he interrupted me and smiled. I rolled my eyes, my fingers joking around with my toenails. I felt the burn of his eyes on my cheek and made my stomach hurtle like mad.
"I'm just worried about the whole war, about you guys fighting in it, about my brother, and about you. I admit, I'm scared, very, and I can't help it," I uttered, digging my feet into the ground with anger. Danny sighed, staring into the horizon as if he were worried too.
"I wish that the war would be over and that I could go back home, but I can't," I continued, "and I wish I had someone to share my feelings with... but I don't..." Danny turned to gaze at me in surprise.
"What do you mean? You have me!" he exclaimed. I just shook my head.
"Not in that way, Danny. Someone that would love me as much as I love him," I admitted and stared back at Danny with interest. I tried giving him clues of what I felt inside. He amazed me so much.
"Anyways, I came down here to see if you wanted to walk around with me and get an ice cream. I know it's a little too early for that but just to keep talking," he persuaded me. I just smiled.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
"Two cones, please," Danny asked the cashier. We were close by the air force base and since we wanted to walk I wanted to go see Rafe. Danny handed me a cone and continued our journey.
"You know, my friend back in Tennessee is getting married," I stated, trying to embark on a conversation. Danny laughed and continued his ice cream cone. I looked from the corner of my eye and saw him staring at me. I blushed like a red beet and finished my cone.
"That's great Jai, but talk to me about what's bothering you," he remarked and grabbed my hand in his. I was turned slightly, facing his chocolate brown eyes, and I couldn't react.
"I-I can't tell you," I stuttered and turned my head. To my surprise, he stuck his ice cream cone on my nose. My mouth was open in awe as he laughed as hard as he could.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I wanted to lift your spirits a little," he explained and hugged me. "Here, let me clean your face." I smiled as he took a napkin and softly cleaned my nose with no hurry.
"You know, I never noticed how beautiful you are," he said and kissed my nose. I blushed with fury; my eyes were ready to pop out of my head. He stared into my eyes and continued, "Your eyes are so wonderful to gaze into..."
I was speechless. I never heard him speak like that to anyone. My heart leaped with nervousness.
"I can't stop thinking about you, Jaira. When I'm flying up there, I see you in the clouds and I hear your voice in the wind. I can't get my mind off you," Danny whispered, his nose touching mine. I was still with no words to say and my mouth opened in blank.
"What in trying to say is that... I'm in love with you, Jaira," he muttered softly and pressed his lips against mine. After we parted, I smiled at him mildly and hugged him, but something was strange.
"Do you hear that?" I asked Danny as I turned to see the opposite horizon, "I hear planes. We don't practice on Sundays."
"That is weird..."
I began to run as the sound of the engines grew louder. Those planes weren't American troops.
"Jai, what are you doing?" Danny gasped and ran after me. Fear ran through my body as I pictured the Japanese.
"Danny, the Japs are coming! They're here!" I yelled as I continued to run. I suddenly fell, scraping my knee deficiently. Danny ripped part of my pants and tightened the wound with it.
"Jaira, are you crazy?" Danny asked furiously and we kept running.
"The Japs are here, Danny. We need to get to the airport!" I exclaimed as I limped as fast as I could. A Japanese plane flew over us and threw a bomb. We jumped at the explosion, hitting the floor with a thump. There was too much smoke to see anything. I felt a hand pull me up. It was Danny.
"Danny, Jaira, get in!" I heard a voice call out. We turned to see Rafe with Red and Goose in Danny's car. We jumped in the car and Rafe drove off. Tears began to run down my cheeks as I watched the planes ride over us.
"Jai, why are you crying?" Danny asked me as he held me in his arms. I shook my head.
"I'm scared, Danny. I'm very scared. I don't want to lose you. I love you-" he interrupted me with a kiss full passion. I wish it never ended.
"Jaira, you got to be strong now. We have to fight this. Are you in?" he asked me after we parted. I smiled at him and hugged him dearly.
We reached the small airport that Earl was in charge of. Rafe stopped the car and we all jumped out and ran across the field.
"Earl! Earl!" I yelled out as we reached the hanger. Earl came out in confusion.
"What!" he yelled back.
"Is there any planes ready?" Danny asked. Earl opened his eyes widely.
"What the- now?"
"I think World War II started!" I hollered at him and entered the hanger.
"How many are there?" Rafe asked as he reached for a shot gun. Earl shook his toward the planes.
"We have four on the ground. One is good to go, one needs fuel and the others need ammo." I limped toward one of the good planes. Danny heard my steps and ran after me.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked me as we reached the plane. He turned me gently, and we dazed into each other's eyes. I kissed him lightly reassuring my answer and hugged him.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
