Danny looked around him, he could not believe he was in Hawaii. He wished he was a little bit happier about it but without Rafe here with him, it wasn't the same. The next day after the club he had said goodbye to Rafe. He knew Rafe was doing what he thought was best. Danny and his squadron walked up to three pilots. They looked a little dingy he thought.

"Alo-HA!" Said one of the pilots and Danny gave him a smile.

"Are you all pilots?" The three looked at each other and the one with the toothpick in his mouth spoke.

"We try to be, there is a lot of buttons and switches and stuff." The three of them laughed and Danny just smirked. "Who are you?"

"Just call us terrors of the sky." Danny said. The three guys looked at each other confused.

"Well I'm Earl," said the one who had greeted them, "This is Gooz," the one with the toothpick, "and then this is Joe."

"Well aren't you going to introduce me Uncle Earl?" Danny was confused when he heard the girl's voice coming from the cockpit of the plane, a girl pilot. No there couldn't be.

"Oh of course, this is Kate, well the person in the cockpit is. She is our best mechanic. Also one hell of a flyer but since she is a girl she aint allowed to fly." Danny looked up as the girl stood up. She had long blonde hair, which was straight unlike the other girls who always had theirs curled so nice. She had beautiful green eyes and one of the best smiles Danny had ever seen.

"So these are the boys they sent from New York. Nice to meet you all!" Kate said and hopped down from the plane. "How you liking Hawaii so far?"

"Well it just got a little better! Hi I'm Anthony." Anthony winked at Kate and stuck out his hand.

"Are you hitting on me? I don't think you want to do that" Anthony then noticed the three guys had stood up. Anthony took his hand back and stood behind Danny.

"Sorry about Anthony he doesn't think before he speaks." Kate nodded and looked up at Danny. "I'm Danny."

"Nice to meet you Danny and everyone else too! Well I gotta get back to working on this plane that Gooz wrecked. Then after that I'm going to kill Gooz!" Everyone laughed as she glared at Gooz. Kate looked at Danny once more before she jumped into the plane.

"C'mon boys I will show you to your barracks." Everyone followed Earl, Danny lingered behind lost in thought. That was until he hears Anthony open his mouth.

"So does Kate live in the barracks with us because that girl is-" was all he got out before Earl turned around and grabbed him.

"Now you leave Kate alone, that girl is pretty much my daughter and she doesn't need some creep like you harassing her all the time. Don't you think she gets harassed enough being a girl mechanic. Half the guys wont fly in planes she worked on cause they think just because she is a woman she aint good enough." Earl let go of Anthony and kept walking. Danny was shocked he didn't think guys would act like that, well he wouldn't anyway. He noticed that the other boys were thinking the same thing. Red looked over at Danny and nodded. They were going to make sure those other guys who were being jackasses that they wouldn't treat her like that anymore.

"Let's go down town or something I'm bored and I am also scared for my life. The way Earl looks at me I think he is going to kill me." Danny laughed at Anthony.

"Well you kinda deserve it." Anthony glared at Danny, who just shrugged. He was about to say something when three people walked into the barracks. Danny saw that it was Joe, Gooz and Kate.

"Wow did it get quiet in here when the three of us walked in. Or maybe it's because Kate walked in." Gooz looked down at Kate and smirked.

"Oh shut up Gooz. They are new and don't know us, we can't all become best of friends with the snap of your fingers." Danny laughed at what Kate said. "You need to snap them at least twice."

That got everyone laughing and it broke the ice. Soon they were all chatting and it felt like they had been friends for years. Kate walked over to Danny and sat down on the cot across from his. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Hey you looked lonely over here, thought I would come say hi. So hi!" Danny laughed at her. She reminded him a lot of Rafe.

"Hi." Kate looked him up and down and knew that something was bothering him.

"I know we just met but you want to talk about what ever is bothering you?" Danny looked up at her confused. "You seem to have a lot on your mind."

"Yea, my buddy Rafe went off and joined the Eagle Squadron. He is over in England right now fighting a war he shouldn't be in yet." Danny looked down at his hands. He hadn't really talked about Rafe to any of the guys but with her he felt like he could tell her anything.

"Wow, that was awful stupid of him. Of course if it was me I would have done the same thing. You must be very worried about him." Danny nodded. "Well how about we try and take the worry off for a little bit and go to the beach. You guys don't start training until tomorrow and I have no planes to fix!"

"That is the best idea I have heard all day. I can try out my surfboard." Kate turned around and looked at Gooz.

"Gooz why you always eaves dropping you fool!" Gooz just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Kate shook her head and looked back over at Danny. "What do you say?"

"Sure why not." Kate smiled and stood up.

"Well I am going to my house, you boys come get me when you are ready!" All the boys nodded and Kate left the barracks.

"That girl will always get her way wont she?" Billy asked Gooz.

"Oh yea, she has a way of convincing you to do what she wants." The boys laughed and got their swim trunks.
