Getting ready for War
I sighed and held on to my bags waiting for the airplane to come to pick them up. Tommy was thinking hard and Becky was trying to lighten the mood. "Would you rather shoot a squirrel or shoot a madman" Becky said "Me I would shoot a madman." I shook my head "Yeah lets see how far that gets you in life" Tommy said. "Fine then" Becky said "Would you rather die slowly or die quick." "Die quick" Tommy and I replied at the same time. "Well I would die slowly" Becky said " I know I would be hurting but I would want to at least say goodbye to my loved ones." I nodded and they felt the ground shake.
"Well here's our flight" Tommy said. "Take a last look at Grandma and the farmhouse." We all looked back and said goodbye then we went to the open field. "So its you three then" the pilot asked us. "Yes sir" We all replied. "Well then get on it will be about an hour" the pilot said.
We all boarded and got on Tommy was in the front while Becky and I were in the back. "So would you rather meet the love of your life here in the war or wait" Becky asked. "Meet the love of my life" I told her and we hit high fives. "Guys would you rather disguise yourselves as men or be ridiculed for being women" Tommy asked us. "I don't care if I'm a women" Becky replied. "Our cousin won't allow them to treat us like shit" I told Tommy "Plus They won't have anything to say because they have to go through us." Tommy nodded. "Well here it is" The pilot said.
We all got off and started walking I saw the boats out there and knew what was coming. "Guys" I said "I think were gonna be in the battle at Omaha beach." They both gasped and looked at me. "OH SHIT" we all said together. We all went to the main office and stood there. "Hi" a soldier said with a southern accent "My name is Daniel Jackson what's yours." "My name is Gwen Jones" I told him" And this is my bro and sis Tommy and Becky." We shook hands. "So what brings you here" Jackson asked us. "Well our cousin pulled us into the war" Tommy told him. "Asshole" both me and Becky muttered. "Are you from Tennessee" I asked him. "You're the first one to get that right" Jackson said "Every one else thinks I'm from Texas or some other weird place." I shook my head. "I went to Tennessee when I was seven so I remember how the people talk from there" I told him "We all used to live in Maryland but now we live in France." "Okay well I hope you guys get in okay" he said "Were supposed to set off tomorrow. "Oh well be ready" I said "I just hope I see you again."
He nodded then said goodbye and walked off. "I just hope I see you again" Tommy and Becky imitated. "Stop it" I said "So what if I like him." "Okay Sis" Becky said "Its our little secret." She winked and then we heard our names. We walked in to get briefed. "Hey cousins" Williams said" I have your papers." He set them all in front of us. "Gwen is a first class sniper and will be given a special gun specifically for you, Tommy will be a Rifleman and be given a hand machine gun" He looked at us then continued" Becky lastly you will be a rifleman but you will be given a Bazooka cause as I recall your unstable." We all nodded and agreed. "Here are your dog tags" he said "Now if we lose you this will identify who you are." Well all gulped and were given our dog tags I looked at mine and smiled because it matched my sliver cross. "now Gwen and Becky here are your uniforms. And Tom here's yours" he walked off for a sec" Now lets not forget your helmets." He handed them to us and we walked off to get our guns. MAN life was already sucking.
