Anna's pov:/p

I ran outside to get the mail today. The mailman greets me as I go to the door as I see him walk up with the mail. This whole week I've been eagerly awaiting the mail.

"Ma'am you got a boyfriend you are waiting to hear from?" He asked as he handed me a letter.

"No, more like a letter about a job"

"Mind me asking what job?" The mailman asked me.

"The Untied States Army" I said proudly.

"Your a girl, they will never hire a girl" The mail man mumbled. He almost gave a laugh. He waved and left.

"Don't get excited" he yelled as he left my apartment level. I rolled my eyes.

I went inside my small apartment in Brooklyn, New York. I stared at the letter that was from the Untied States Army Enlistment Office. I had to send a special application becuase I'm a girl. I took a deep breath and ripped open the paper. What I read I couldn't believe. My letter said I could become an agent for the U.S army! I've been trying to get into the army since the U.S entered the war in Europe and the Pacific Ocean. It's been hard to get in because I'm a girl, which to me is stupid. When I got the letter I ran out of my apartment to find Steve and Bucky my only friends. I thought they would want me to tell them the news.

Steve and Bucky are my only friends because I can be a little shy. Fine I was a lot shy. I'm working on it! We met in college. I was going to college to become a writer. Steve was there for his art. I forget what Bucky was doing at the college. I met Bucky by bumping into him as I carried my lunch. I spilled it all over him. I was so embarrassed. Bucky was really nice to me about it though. After the incident he even asked me to sit with him and Steve. Which I thought was really nice and to be honest I wouldn't do that. Bucky and Steve are extremely close. They are like brothers. When I first meet Steve he was really quiet. We got used to each other and talked more. Steve and I have a lot in common. We are both small, and we both underestimate ourselves, both of our parents died in World War 1. We all grew into close friends within a week of college./p

As I knocked on their door waiting for them to answer. I was so excited I was almost jumping up and down! Bucky came to the door he gave a small smile when he saw me. Steve followed slowly behind Bucky with a steak on his eye, from getting beat up.

"Steve what happened!?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

"I got beat-up...again.." He said like it was no big thing. Steve gets beat up every other day it feels like. I really feel bad for him and I wish I could do anything but I can't. He just has a mind of his own. Steve likes to stand up for what he believes in and sometimes he gets hurt for doing so.

"I'm so sorry." I said giving him a hug.

"Don't I get a hug?" Bucky asked. I smiled and hugged him.

"Guess what!?" I said excitedly. I can't wait to see their faces!

"What?" Steve asked.

"I got the letter from The Untied States Army Enlisting Office! The letter I've been waiting for!" I say jumping up and down. I went into the apartment building and we gathered around the table in the small kitchen.

"Read it!" Bucky said excited. I nodded and slowly opened up the letter. I read every word like it was worth a million dollars.

"It read; Ms. Smith,We are pleased to inform you that you have passed the medical test and will be moved to an army base to get your training. The training starts May 5th. For further information the next letter will reach you in a couple days to a week"
I read the letter out loud.

"The rest of the details will be sent to me later. They are about I need and what will happen at the base!" I said. I was smiling but Bucky and Steve looked worried but they smiled though their own thoughts. Both Steve and Bucky were easy to read, you could tell their emotions easily.

"Look I'll be fine! I can handle myself out there!" I said reading their minds.

"It's that your a girl, you can't join the army?" Bucky said teasing. I stuck out my tongue at him and rolled my eyes.

"Yes, I can! I've got a letter to prove it!" I said waving it in front of him.

"I think she'll do great!" Steve said. I smiled at him.

"See I'll do fine! Plus you guy's might enlist in the army too!" I said pointing to them.

"I know you will be fine at the base but what if you are moved to the front lines? Then what will happen?" Bucky asked worried. Bucky has always acted like the big brother to Steve and I.

"Then I will bravely fight for our country. That's what I signed up to do." I said seriously. There was no need for them to worry about me. I can take care of myself out there and they need to know that.

"Hey don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I can take care of myself, I've been doing that for the last 10 years since my parents have been gone." I said softly. Bucky nodded and Steve just looked at me like he wanted to stay something but he never said anything.

"I'm going and thats it!" I said and walked out of their apartment. I wasn't mad I just wanted to change the subject. I started a mental check list for stuff that I would need at the army base. This is what I've waited for my whole life a chance to prove my self and help save lives. I don't want to kill people I want to save them. I was ready and this is the only thing I've ever wanted to do so bad! I was going to go. I have to pack now. I leave in a week.
