Disclaimer: I do not own Band of Brothers, however, I do own the OC and the plot. I am aware that these are real men, and I respect them completely for what they have done. This is not meant to offend.

A/N: I thank captain ty, EmmyMK, KatieRose380, and Wildbillslady for the amazing support. You are all I need to continue this fiction. Well, that along with cookies and coffee. :D
Interlude
April 1942
Warrant Officer Richard Winters sits himself on a box as he takes a break from his exercises. He breathes deeply, closing his eyes and relaxing the muscles in his body. As he does so, he can feel himself being tackled off of the box and onto the ground. He opens his eyes and looks into the large golden-brown eyes of Warrant Officer Emily Devoy. The young woman is straddling him, legs on either side of his body. She leans down so that their faces are close enough that he can smell the scent of honey and cloves emanating from her. She smiles from ear to ear, and tucks one side of her softly curled blonde hair behind her ear.
"And how are you today, Dick?" Winters smiles at her softly, trying not to get too embarrassed about the position that they are in. He keeps his eyes locked on hers, a faint blush still on his cheeks.
"Tired; and you?" Emily just smiles in response, and leans down to press her nose against his. She lets out a small giggle, and shifts down a little lower on his body. Winters starts to feel uncomfortable, because they are only a few boxes from the eyes of every other soldier training to be an officer. Emily half-closes her eyes and leans down a little more, lightly brushing her lips against his, her eyelashes fluttering against his cheek. Winters freezes, his eyes growing wide and his blush deepening. Emily sits up, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. She stands up and walks off to where Lewis Nixon is sitting, leaving Winters on the ground behind the boxes. She sits beside Nixon, the two of them laughing as she relays what she told him about Winter's reaction. Winters walks over to them, face still a little red. Nixon smiles cheekily.
"What's wrong, Dick? You look like you were just caught peeping on the women's changing room." Emily laughs out loud at this as she lights a cigarette, and Winters glares at the both of them.
"You both are insane. What was the point in that?" Emily looks up at him, blowing a cloud of smoke past his head.
"What's the matter, Dick, was that your first kiss?" Winters looks at her, offended in some way.
"Of course not!" Emily and Nixon both laugh at their friend, and Emily hands him her cigarette.
"Want a drag, Dick?" Winters shakes his head.
"I'm going to say no every time, you know." Emily shrugs her thin shoulders and takes a long drag out of her cigarette.
"It was worth asking." They sit together and talk for a little while, until Emily is called away. As she walks away from them, Nixon looks slyly at Winters.
"You love her, don't you?" Winters looks at his friend, horrified.
"No, of course not!" Nixon laughs, not believing him. The two of them sit back and stare at the sky as it turns dark, and as the stars come out and pop into the sky.
"This is the life." Nixon states while blowing out a cloud of cigarette smoke.
"It sure is, Lew, it sure is."
Review, please! Just a cute little filler, so that you can understand the three of them and their relationships a little better. Long reviews are love!
