I sighed as I leaned back on my chair I was SO Bored. The only reason I was even at Mac's practise wedding reception was my big brother Harm. And he wasn't even here. Gunny sensing how I was feeling pulled a face at me from behind Lieutenant Simms's back. I giggled covertly back at him I knew Gunny would only subject me to this as long as he deemed it polite to attend and as soon as we made our escape home he had promised me ice-cream on the one condition that I behaved. Out of all the people here Gunny, Tinear and The Admiral were the only people who could be counted on to make me behave as Bud and Harriet were also mysteriously diapering and I was mad at Mac and refused to do whatever she and her pathetic little niece wanted. Chloe and I had never gotten along I thought it had something to do with being the same age, blonde, blue eyed and I always got more attention without lifting a finger. Hey, I'm a fourteen year old registered Navy fighter pilot and Jag representative you'd rather talk to me to. I watched as Chloe argued with the Admiral over champagne and Mick gave her a covert sip, I raised my eyebrows at him as the Admiral filled my glass a little.

"Fair's Fair," he whispered to me ignoring Chloe's glare making me smirk. I grabbed mine and Gunny's glass and walked over to rescue him from Lieutenant Simms. He gave me a thankyou glance before placing his arm around my shoulders walking me away and taking my glass from me.

"Champagne Jess?" Gunny asked in his Mexican twang.

"The Admiral gave it to me," I said immediately defensive.

"Would Harm let you have it?" Gunny asked.

"Is he here now?" I replied "C'mon Gunny please I'll be good."

"Harm will kill me if you get drunk you can have it but,"

"There's always a but." I sighed

"You need to pretend you're having a good time."

"You drive a hard barging Gunny, but sure I'll pretend."

"I'm a Marine get used to it." Gunny smiled at me handing me the glass.

"Yay," Was my sarcastic remark

"Oh and Jess," he called

"Yes Gunny?" I asked sweetly

"No fighting with Chloe or at least don't start it."

"Only you would know," I groaned I'd managed to keep the feud with Chloe from Harm, Mac, Mick, Tinear, Bud and Harriet but the Admiral and now Gunny had picked up on what was going on. "Fine,"
