The rain stopped and I could sense it by the smell. I felt someone poking me and looked up to see Jackson but I groaned and rolled over. Becky: Just let me get some sleep! Becky was being a grump and I was just too tired to move. Reiben: Hey Tommy are they always this cheerful waking up? Tommy smiles and shake his head. Tommy: You should've seen Becky on a school day. Reiben smiles but receives a punch from Becky. Jackson picks me up and slips my backpack on me while I'm sleeping. Jackson then sighs and walks. Tommy: You really don't have to carry her. Jackson shrugs and smiles. Jackson: I feel obliged to though. Becky punches Upham. Becky: Now why can't you carry me? Upham shrugs and smiles at Becky. Upham: But your awake so I can at least talk to you. Becky shrugs then nods.
I open my eyes to see the darkness but I see the flashes of lightning behind us. Becky: Ahh its so beautiful! Jackson smiles then sees that I'm up. Gwen: How long have you been carrying me? Jackson: Bout 15 minutes why? I smiled and kissed his cheek. Gwen: Am I heavy? He looked over at me. Jackson: No not at all. I smile then get out of his arms and stretch. Captain Miller: Good to see your up! I smile a sheepish smile. Wade: Hey Gwen hows your side? Gwen: Much better thanks for asking. Wade smiles and gives me a thumbs up. We walk and walk the sun finally comes up but by then I think I was walking like a zombie.
Becky: Is that gunshots I hear? Tommy puts his hand to his ear and listens. Tommy: I believe those are gunshots. I put my hand to my ear and listen. Gwen: Bout maybe 600 yards I figure. Captain Miller looks me in the eye and I can see he has a plan going. We duck into the trees and on the other side I can see a German Machine gun station. Miller: We need to take that machine gun! Now who's gonna go left. Jackson and Gwen: I will! Miller looks at the both of us and gives us a look of approval. Becky: What should I do captain? Tommy: What should I do sir. They both stand and wait for orders. Miller: Private Tommy I would wait for my signal to start firing. Private Becky I would wait behind that dead Cow for the signal to use your bazooka. They both nod and go off while I'm on the left with Jackson. I load my gun and wait. Jackson: I know this is a really bad time Gwen but… A bullet comes towards us almost blowing our cover. Gwen: But what? If you have something to say then say it. Jackson looks nervous but then smiles. Jackson: Gwen if we make it out of this will you spend the rest of your life with me! A bullet comes I duck it and fire and a German's head gets blown off. Gwen: YES of course I will! I love you. Tommy fires his machine gun and a row of Germans all get hit at once. Gwen: Why would you stand like Dominoes? Becky fires her gun and the machine gun is totaled.
Someone: He's been hit! I run out in a panic to find Wade bleeding badly. I rush over and start doing my procedure. Miller: What are you doing Gwen? I shake my head and look at all of them. Gwen: I use to work in a hospital so I know what to do now follow my orders! Mellish I could use some more water and Upham I need a needle and thread! I wash his wounds and start to sew him up. Becky is holding his head on her lap and comforting him, I can see that she is trying her best not to cry. Tommy is watching me closely and is handing me things when I tell him to. Wade smiles when I finish the last one and I clean the excess blood on his stomach.
Miller: Gwen good job. I stand up and find myself embraced in a hug by the captain. I smile and know that I can now feel more comfortable around him. Tommy: Good job! At least I didn't have to watch another person die. Becky walks over to Upham. Becky: If you die I would be devastated! Upham looks over at Becky and is embraced by a hug. Upham: Don't worry I won't die. Becky smiles and holds him close. Becky: Oh Upham I love you. He smiles and they hold hands. Wade: Thank you Gwen! I owe you my life. I smile and hug him gently. Tommy: Alright enough of the lovey doveyness okay were soldiers not drama players. We all smile and stand up. Gwen and Becky: Your right now lets go find Private Ryan!
