Author's note: So if you've read my other story (If only she were mine) you'd know it's not finished yet, don't think I'm abandoning that story. I just decided to start a different story (one I've had on my mind before the other story) while I'm waiting for the poll to finish. This is a mixture of irl, made up characters, friends made up characters, and my real life crush. So I hope you like it. Also, at the end I will give you a kind-ah dictionary of hat foxy is saying (or what it means).
Ethan's POV
I sit down on the couch, talking to Foxy. "Well, were of age." We had just turned 19. He laughed, "Aye," Then I heard a voice. "Hey Ethan, how's it going?" I turned and looked, it was Rose with Ashley. Rose had long redish brownish hair, blue eyes, she was basically every guys dream. Ashley had short brown hair, brown eyes, and always a smile. Foxy answered before I could. "It's going good lass." I laughed and nodded. "So, now that were 19, what are your plans for the future?" She stood there, "Uuuhhh, I don't know." Me and foxy laughed, Ashley gave a little giggle. She then looked at me. "Well what are your plans for the future Ethan?" I laughed; I knew she was trying to get revenge. Yet little did she know I knew exactly what I was ganna do. "Im ganna join the war," She looked at me, "What, what job?" I was surprised, Rose usually smiled. Yet what was even more surprising is Ashley wasn't smiling. "Im joining the air force." They just stood there, all we could hear was the people around us (we were in my martial arts studio 'Daughtry ATA'). "You guys okay." I quickly broke the silence. Ashley looked at us. "Yeah, were fine." Me and foxy could tell something was up. Foxy looked at me. "Well lad, we have to get home." Me and foxy shared an apartment.
(At the apartment) Foxy looked at me. "Ey lad, they act a bit weird to ye?" He had a point, "Yeah, they did seem a bit weird to me." He laughed, "Well, girls are a mystery." Foxy had his usual rum, while I had my usual Dr. pepper. I look at him, "So what are you planning to do in the military?" He looked at me. "Isn't it obvious lad, I'm ganna be captain of the USS Mangle." I remember him saying something about that. "The USS Mangle is a carrier right?" He nodded. He then got up and left, I just sat there. I sad there for what felt like hours, and hours, then my phone buzzed. I looked down, it was Rose. 'Hey Ethan, how is everything?' I typed, 'Good, same as earlier.' She took a couple seconds to respond, then she said. 'Well, can we talk.' I just stared at the phone. 'Ok, what is it.'
(A couple month later, after flight school) I walk on board the Carrier, staring at the amazing sight. Then I hear a voice, "Ahoy Lad, long time no see." I turned, it was foxy. "Hey foxy, haven't seen each other since before military training." He laughed. "Well, I told ye I'd be captain. WELCOME TO THE USS MANGLE." I laughed, "So has my beauty arrived yet?" He pointed toward a plane. "Right over there lad." I walk over to it, my pride and joy. It was a Vought F4U Corsair, I named it a Rose in War. It was fresh from the factory, only flown once. I flew it for my graduation flight. "Well lad, I'd like to introduce ye to ye flight." I looked at him with confusion, "My flight?" He walked me over to some cadets, also fresh from the academy. He pointed at them, "Lad, meet Johny, Alex, and Mike." I looked at them. "But I'm just as new as them, why am I getting a flight?" He just watched. "Lad, ye are the top of ye class, and they aren't as new as ye." He continued. "Mike, also known as the Killereagle, has five kills already." I immediately whipped toured Mike. "WAIT, FIVE KILLS! Shouldn't he be flight leader?" Mike looked at foxy with a huge grin. "Yeah, I have the most kills, shouldn't I be leader." I could already tell Mike was the cocky type, also one who starts trouble. Foxy glared at mike. "EY, shut it." He immediately stepped back. He then turned toward me. "Lad, ye are the flight leader, end of discussion." He then turned and left. I turned towards my flight. "You are dismissed." Johny and Alex saluted and left, Mike just snorted and left. I could tell Mike wasn't ganna be a friend to me.
