DISCLAIMER: Okay we own nothing except Alex, Kathy and Ruth. Nothing written here is intended to be disrespectful of the real Band of Brothers.

Okay so this is posted under my pen name, but this is actually a three person story. My other writers in crime are; ILoveboyswhosparkle and Ber1791…we are working together to try and make something funny and a little different. Hope everyone out there enjoys our efforts…we know we are. :)

Chapter 1

Alex walked into the diner quickly scanning the room for her two friends. They had been meeting here after the History Club meeting for the last two years. All three had a deep love of history, especially World War II and used every chance they could find to get together or travel to learn more.

Alex had just come across the perfect opportunity to not only enjoy history together but also get them away from home for a while. All of them had reasons for not wanting to be at home and this would make the best summer vacation ever, now all she had to do was convince them.

Sliding into the booth with a subtle smile on her face, Ruth saw her first and frowned, "uh oh, something is wrong, Alex is smiling…why are you smiling, did you take candy away from a small child on the way over?"

Alex's smile grew and she began to wave a sheet of paper in front of her two friends. "No, no small children were harmed in the making of this pleasurable moment, however I hold in my hands something that is going to make the two of you scream in pleasure…well maybe not you Ruth, I hear it takes a little more to make you scream."

Ruth snatched the paper out of Alex's hand sticking her tongue out in the process. "You're always so nasty. So what is this little bit of happiness you now present…oh my God, no freaking way, Normandy!?"

"That's right, Normandy, a living history tour. We are touring all the battle sites and as we'll be there over D-Day week, all kind of reenactments, it will be a blast."

Ruth was so excited she was practically bouncing in her seat, "oh yeah, think of all the gorgeous men that will be there all in their uniforms; you know how I love a man in uniform, not to mention the wine oh I almost forgot about the champagne…holy crap, sign me up baby. What about you Kathy, you're going with us right?"

Both women turned to stare expectantly at Kathy. "Well it sounds like a lot of fun and I really would love to go, but did either of you notice how much it was? That's a little more than I can pull together on such short notice."

Ruth finally calmed down enough to look at the sheet, "yeah she's right Alex this is a little pricey and well I'm not sure I can con the old man out of any more funds. He's already suspicious why I go through so much 'food' in a semester."

Sighing Alex reached into her purse, pulled out a black credit card, and laid it on the table. "Have either of you ever seen one of those?"

Ruth nodded before adding, "A guy had one of those. Bought me dinner and…well you get what I am saying."

Kathy just shook her head looking down at the card with interest.

"Well the short answer to all of this money talk is that little card in front of you. That people is a black American Express Card courtesy of my womanizing father. He felt so bad that I had caught him and his latest mistress in bed together that he felt a little special treatment for his only daughter was required. Hence, the card so now I'll be paying for this little trip, all the two of you have to do is pack and come with me. All expenses paid, courtesy of Enrico Sindotti."

Ruth and Kathy both just stared at her, Ruth finally found her voice, "you're not kidding are you? What am I saying Alex never kids; this is going to be freaking fantastic, look we might even get Alex to loosen up and have some fun."

Alex smirked, "don't hold your breath. I'll send you guys the details about the flight tomorrow, oh by the way, since Daddy's feeling guilty…let's go shopping I'm sure I need some new clothes."

When Ruth and Kathy came out of their apartment building, they found a black limo waiting on them. "Ruth, what is that doing here?"

Giggling Ruth jerked the door open and hopped in, "Never question a free limo with oh is that champagne? God I do love that girl."

Arriving at the airport, instead of stopping at the main terminal, the limo took them around to the area marked as private hangers, stopping next to a corporate jet. Both girls got out and looked around.

"Hey buddy, I think you brought us to the wrong location, we're supposed to be meeting our friend Alex…not seeing her here."

The driver shook his head and picked up the bags, "follow me ladies, Miss Alex is already on board."

Both girls entered the plane to see Alex kicked back reading a book. "About time the two of you got here, take off is in twenty minutes. Thank you Eric, see you in a month."

Standing up Alex spread her arms to encompass the plane, "so what do you think, not bad huh? See Daddy was a little upset at the amount of money I spent the other day and it seems I had to remind him that mother was only in Switzerland…so the use of the corporate jet was my price for not telling Mummy." Rubbing her cheek absently, "and his sucking up for another temper tantrum."

Ruth dropped into the seat pushing Kathy down as she went, "nice Alex, I knew there was a reason we are friends."

6 June 2009 Carentan, France

They had been traveling non-stop for two days and were having a blast.

Today had been the best as they had been able not only to see an airborne jump but they had gotten to talk to some of the men participating and Kathy had found a World War II veteran that was willing to tell them his experience.

Pushing open the penthouse door, Ruth, Kathy and Alex came trudging in after another long day of touring battle sites.

"Okay, I don't know about the two of you but I need a shower. Then what do the two of you say to a nice diner and then we hit the clubs, that very nice man today gave me the name of a great bar down the street."

Alex didn't even bother opening her eyes, "Sure, fine by me, what about you Kathy?"

"Well it sounds like a good idea and I'm hungry, so yeah, let's do it."

By the time, they ate and found the bar the line was out the door to get in. Kathy sighed, "well looks like we won't be getting in tonight, maybe we could try back tomorrow."

Ruth narrowed her eyes and sized up the bouncer at the door. "No way, we're getting in tonight, first things first, Alex drop that hair of yours and put on this red lipstick and get rid of the shirt, tank top only, Kathy, stop hiding behind Alex and open up that sweater and plump up the cleavage."

They watched in fascination as Ruth pulled her skirt a little higher, if that was possible and pulled the top part lower. Facing them with a look of determination, "okay ladies let's go, my buzz is wearing off and there is alcohol that is not being consumed by me."

Ten minutes later they were sitting at the bar drinking fine French wine toasting their success. Kathy elbowed Ruth to get her attention, "so what did you say to the guy that got us in here so fast?"

Ruth laughed, "I told him that Alex would meet him later tonight and take care of him."

Alex merely raised her eyebrow. Kathy looked at her friend in shock, "I can't believe you did that…that was low even for you."

Picking up her drink, she toasted her friend, "darling, this is what it's all about. The pursuit of better alcohol, which by the way I want to add, this is a very nice cabernet. But now I propose a toast, to the smartest and sexiest women in Carentan."

As their glasses clinked together, the floor beneath them fell away.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The sound of gunfire woke Kathy up. She had no idea how they managed to oversleep, especially with Alex being such a control freak, but they had and now they were missing something.

Pushing up she realized two things at once, she wasn't in her bed and she was still very drunk because the room was spinning. Reaching out to either side of her, she finally made contact with someone's arm.

"Hey, Alex, Ruth! Get up they're starting without us and I'm not sure about you guys but I'm still drunk," Kathy said while she shook them awake.

She heard someone moan next to her, "I'm never drinking that stuff again. Why am I on the floor?"

Giggling came from the other side of her, "I told you Alex, you could never hold your liquor. Now just let me get up here…wow, guess that did pack a punch because I'm still loopy too. God what the hell did they put in there!?

Alex paused, ignoring the present rant that Ruth seemed to be quite invested on and looked around the room they were in, "how did we manage to end up in the basement…I'm going to kill you Ruth, what have you done now. Come on let's get out of here and get back to the hotel."

All three girls spent the next few minutes helping each other up the wooden stairs. When they entered the room, the basement door opened into they found it completely empty.

Ruth giggled again, "must have been a hell of a party to clean out the whole house, come on we're missing all the fun."

Kathy stepped out into the street and stopped in her tracks, "uh girls, something isn't right, where are all the cars and for that matter where are all the people?"

"Don't worry, maybe everything was moved for the reenactment and the people are probably out watching, come on I don't want to miss any more than we already have." Alex turned around and grabbed Ruth pulling her behind her as they walked through the town.

Kathy was right, something was definitely wrong here; the buildings didn't look right and the reenactment seemed much closer than it should have been. Alex finally spotted one of the men coming down the street.

"Hey let's ask him, he probably knows what's going on."

George Luz stopped dead in his tracks. The last thing he ever expected to see walking down the street toward him was three women, but they were wearing some kind of funny clothing and showing more skin than he'd ever seen in public. It took him a moment to realize that the taller one was asking him a question.

"Huh, sorry lady, what were you saying again?"

Alex sighed and repeated her question, "I said, where is everyone, I didn't expect the streets to be this empty."

Luz stood staring at them. She was crazy, they had escaped from an asylum or maybe they were drunk, that's sure the way the brown haired one was acting.

"Look lady, I've got no idea what you're talking about, if by everyone else you mean Lt Winters, well he is on the next street over. But why would people be out in the street, I mean this is an attack, you realize that right?"

Alex was trying to get her thoughts around what the man had said, attack, Lt Winters…what was going on. Her head was pounding and Ruth had started pounding on her back.

"Oh man Alex, turn around and take a look at what's coming down the street towards us. This has to be a Band of Brothers reenactment because here he comes, Mr. Smexy himself! Meow look how he walks, you can see all his muscles protruding from his uniform!"

Alex and Kathy turned to look at where Ruth was pointing. Alex knew she was drunk now, because sure enough, Lieutenants Dick Winters and Lewis Nixon were walking towards them. Then Ruth added "And look at that defined cheekbone! LOOK AT IT!" She giggled still trying to whisper.

Alex grabbed Ruth and tried to shake her, "you know you're yelling right? Try to show some decorum."

"Luz what's going on here, who are these women?"

Before anyone could answer, Ruth was free from Alex and hanging on Nixon. "You know I just love you, you were great in Band of Brothers and oh yeah…Office Space was the best. You don't mind do you?"

Before Nixon could answer, Ruth grabbed him by the collar and locked lips with him. Kathy and Alex both groaned, 'oh not again' and Dick stood staring as this strange person kissing Lew.

Alex recovered before the rest of them and reached out to grab Ruth and pull her off, "okay, enough of that let the man go Ruth. Sorry about that, she gets a little friendly when she's had too much to drink, but other than that she's harmless."

Nixon was currently watching Ruth with the same look you would watch a wild animal, "yeah I can see she's harmless and very friendly. Dick you want to help out."

Kathy who had said nothing up to this point suddenly found her voice, "you know I think you're the most handsome man I've ever met."

If Alex's head wasn't pounding so badly she'd have slapped her forehead in frustration, what the heck had gotten into the two of them? "Look, I'm real sorry about my friends, if you just point me in the direction of the hotel, I'll get them out of your way."

She saw Dick and Lew exchange looks, "what hotel miss and while we're at it, why are you dressed like that?"

Alex looked down at what they were wearing, yeah it was more of a nighttime outfit but it wasn't that bad. "I don't get it, dressed like what and what do you mean what hotel, how can you not know where the hotel is, you have to be staying here?"

Luz spoke up from behind her, "actually we just got her this morning, uh, Lt Winters, we may want to go get Doc Roe, these dames ain't acting right, maybe they hit their heads or something."

Alex turned back to face Dick, "okay let's slow down this story. We woke up in the basement of the bar we had been in last night, yeah I know a little too much to drink, and this morning we come out and the place is deserted and you're telling us we're acting strange. What is this, a bad rerun of the Twilight Zone?"

Nixon shook his head, "Twilight Zone, what are you talking about, this is 1944, there are no reruns, whatever that is, you're in the middle of a war. Now the three of you are coming with me and we're going to talk and try to straighten this out."

Ruth grabbed Nixon's arm, "Yum muscle and a uniform. She licked her lips and slowly let her hand creep over to Nixon's butt but Alex slapped her hand away in time.

Nixon peered around questionably from the sound so Alex went up to his ear and explained 'She also gets a little touchy feely when she is drunk.' She told him with a wink.

"Is that so?" Nixon replied as a small smirk played upon his lips for a moment.

Alex and Kathy followed them up the street, something was definitely wrong here and if the only way to find out was to follow Nixon, then so be it.

"So you ladies can stay in this room till we figure out what do to with you, there will be a man outside the room so if you need anything just ask." Nixon turned to leave when Ruth grabbed his arm.

"Well if you're offering, I really could use a drink…I'm simply parched." Ruth's smile was all sweet and innocent, but Alex was watching her…she'd seen this routine before.

Without thinking, Nixon handed her his canteen. He watched as she turned it up and took a healthy drink. It was only when she handed it back he realized what he'd done. He'd handed her the one that contained Vat 69. As he started to apologize, he realized Ruth's eyes had closed in something close to sheer pleasure.

"Yummy, Vat 69, one of my favorites…got any more?"

Alex and Kathy both stood staring at Nixon, he couldn't have looked any more shocked if Ruth had slapped him.

He finally found his voice…sort of, "how did you, I don't understand, most women…okay I'm leaving now."

Alex watched as Nixon scurried out the door, then turned to face Ruth, "congratulations, I don't think I've ever seen a man leave a room that quickly or that speechless."

Ruth dropped onto the bed with a smug smile on her face, "yeah, well I'm just getting warmed up."
