Chapter 1

"Wait really?" Leo's voice piped up in an excited tone.

Piper had landed the best role not even a week ago and had been getting really great praise for it. It wasn't a really huge role, but it was something pretty great. Her character was going to be this really amazing woman, and she craved those types of roles.

But when she was told that she got it, she wanted to make sure she perfected it, she always usually did. She wanted it to be exactly how everyone would see it in real life, but she hadn't expected herself to do what she just did.

"What?" Piper asked seeing the way he was just staring at her, in shock at what Piper was about to do.

"You are going to go to boot camp for one month? Do you realize the things those people have to go through Pipes? You are a tiny little thing, do you honestly think they will take it slow on you?"

Piper just raised her eyebrow as she continued packing her things. "Leo, I know what I am getting myself into, please don't make me feel bad about it."

Leo sighed and plopped himself on the bed besides her. "I'm sorry babe, I just am so shocked that YOU signed up for this, and no one is forcing you to do it."

Piper shrugged "I want this role to be perfect, sue me." She said looking at him and winking at him playfully.

Leo groaned "Fine, I'll be supportive of this crazy endeavor, but I do want you to know I'm not for it whatsoever…"

Piper just laughed "Wow well gee thanks."

He smiled "And I won't get to see you for one month, that's just so crazy! What am I going to do with myself?"

Piper pushed the bag down and shrugged, "I'm sure you will be able to find something to do, Calypso will be happy that you will have the place all to yourself."

He shrugged "Yeah that's great and I'm excited, but I can't be too excited when my bff is going off to some military base for a whole month, and getting her ass kicked."

Piper rolled her eyes "It's called support…"

He nodded "Fine, I'll zip my lips…but just realize I'm going to be upset."

"Leo, this role is one of the most challenging things I have and probably will ever do, and you know I love actually experiencing what my character is going to in the play, so please be understanding that this is final."

He sighed and nodded "Ookay, fine…" he said but his eyes began to tear. "I'll just miss you.."

Piper smiled and walked over to him, pulling him in deep for a huge hug.

"I'll miss you too…so, so much."

Jason sat down staring at the papers in front of him, trying to go over everything on his mind, it seemed like it was just too much going on.

"Sergeant Grace…may I come in?" Dennis knocked on the door.

Jason looked up to see him and nodded, waving his arm for him to come in.

"Here is the report you asked for, and your sergeant major wants to see you." Jason closed his eyes as he said this.

He had so much to do, and here he was being called into his supervisors office. He groaned but nodded for him to leave. Worst part was it was his dad, so he always felt even more pressure to get everything just a tad perfect.

He knocked softly but swiftly, he wanted to get it over with.

"Come in.." His strong voice came out.

Everyone was afraid of Jason's dad, even he had to admit he was always slightly intimidated, but he made Sergeant on his own without his dads help…despite what some people said, they still admired and respected him.

He was also intimidated by his dad, but he always pretended not to be.

He put his hand to salute him, but his dad waved him off. Almost like he was in a hurry and in no time to mess around with that.

"Sir, you wanted to see me?"

His dad just nodded and put his hand out for Jason to sit down.

"Yes, son there is something that I need you to do, and won't take no for an answer, I assigned all of your assignments to your corporal so you can do this project that needs to be done. Now what I am going to tell you might take you by surprise, but like I said I won't take no for an answer, is that clear?"

Jason just nodded "Yes Sir." Although Jason was super confused, and wasn't even sure why his dad would assign his stuff to his corporal.

"I got a call, a very important call…and I need you to train someone for a month."

Jason furrowed his brow and sat up straight, trying to wrap what his dad just said to him around his brain.

"So you are taking me off my cases to physically train someone?...Sir?" Jason said staring at his dad right in the eyes.

His dad didn't even blank. "Yes…"

Jason nodded "Okay, well may I ask who this person is? I'm guessing he must be important if you are making me do it."

He just nodded and pulled out a file "SHE is in fact really important…"

Jason raised his eyebrows. What? He wasn't even sure how to take that.

"You mean it's a girl that I'm training?"

He just nodded once more.

"Her name is Piper McLean, she is a really famous Broadway star, her parents are really rich and we could honestly use the money…also, I am friends with the director of her show…so you can see the bind I am in."

Jason stood up angrily "What? Are you kidding me? So because of money and your friendship to some guy; that you probably haven't even spoken to in a long time…you are making ME take a prissy Broadway actress and train her?"

His dad stood up and Jason instantly gulped, feeling a little scared now.

"Like I said Jason, you are doing this…I don't want to hear you complain about it. She will be here within the hour, and you will make her feel at home. Is that understood?"

Jason just shook his head, he didn't need telling twice when it came to his dad, so he just stormed out, not even taking time to say anything else.

This was going to be hell…literally hell.
