Juliet Higgins was getting ready to go with her friends to the annual commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor at the Memorial. Meanwhile, she was thinking about the fact that she should have organized the arrival of Robin Masters. If it was true that the estate formally belong to her, she considered the place still owned by Robin. As soon as she could do it, would have given it back to him. Robin 'd have come to do research to write his new book. He said he had set White Knight aside, or at least in a sense, because he wanted to tell a story set after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Robin had found, no one knows where, an old photo that he had sent to Juliet and the Ohana to find out what they thought. The photo pictured a group of people, probably in the USO Rainbow Club, who remember to her: Herself, Magnum, Rick, TC and Kumu. The photo was grainy and not clear, but everyone agreed that there was a resemblance ... all, except Magnum ... TC had even hypothesized a reincarnation ...

"Come on, he doesn't look like me at all" said Magnum, looking at the officer in full dress next to the blonde woman.

"Of course he do. Can't see it?! "Higgins had said

"Yeah! The one with the hat looks like me! "Rick had added looking at the civilian portrayed in the photo

"It could be us, who have reincarnated! Fate wanted us again, here together "had fantasized TC looking at the big man next to a Hawaiian woman

"Fate? Reincarnation? TC, you won't be exaggerating? " Magnum had said

"I don't believe it neither do I," Higgins added

"Well! It would be wonderful, in my opinion! " Kumu had said.

She was still thinking about the conversation, walking towards the studio so, she didn't see the ball the Lads played with, every now and then ... well, Magnum too ... her foot landed on top of the ball and she fell flat on the ground.

"Miss, miss, are you okay?" she heard a voice, smelt a familiar scent.

Higgins opened her eyes and found herself almost lying in the arms of a man in uniform, a handsome Latin man with deep, dark eyes, slightly worried.

"What the hell Magnum? When you'll stop playing with the Lads' ball and letting it lying around? "

"Excuse me? What does you saying? You fainted! I see you confused! I'm taking you to the hospital! "

She was about to say something else when she looked around and saw that she was on the street ... she suddenly felt confused ... Who was Magnum? How did she end up there in downtown Oahu? She was on her way to get the daily ration for her and her family before returning to work.

"Excuse me, I must have tripped, thank you ... I feel a bit confused!"

The man helped her up "Fortunately I was behind you or you would have fallen to the ground, hitting your head. You must have fainted because I didn't see you stumble. Are you hungry? "

Her stomach had muttered, making her feel ashamed.

"Excuse me ..." she said visibly embarrassed and tried to free herself.

"Wait or risks fainting again. Don't be ashamed, Miss, these are hard days. I have some bars with me. "

"No, no. I can't accept. Even though I'm grateful to you, Sir. I don't know you, "she said, finding her habitual demeanor, which her adoptive parents called very British.

"Excuse me, I'm Navy Lieutenant Tom Morales" and he gave her a smile.

At first, she had found it cocky and annoying, even if she didn't quite understand why, but he didn't seem like a bad guy ...

"And you are?"

In front of the soldier she hesitated for a moment ... "Julia Hayashi"

For a moment the man seemed surprised, but at least not disgusted ... he smiled at her and said "I certainly wouldn't say you're Japanese, I would have said you are British"

"You aren't the first to say it. It wouldn't be your business, however I was adopted when I was five "

She had never bothered to add anything to the comments of people who asked her about her parents, but this man, for an unknown reason, inspired her confidence, even if she inexplicably wants to tease him to provoke a reaction.

He laughed, a deep laugh. He put his hand on the cap on his head and said" Excuse me, Miss. You're right! It's like when they comment on my surname ... I had to think about it ... About those chocolate bar? I wouldn't want you fall into my arms again! " This time he was flirting with her, she was sure.

She was annoyed. "But who do you take me for? I don't fall into anyone's arms! "

"Wait Julia, I didn't want to offend you, but mess with you is so natural, I don't wanna sound like a man who use it to strike up a conversation but you look so familiar"

"As an excuse it is really ludicrous, and frankly, I'm late. When I'll get there, the stocks will be out . All because of you. Don't call me Julia, Lieutenant Morales "

"Miss Hayashi, I won't keep you. Call me Tom" he said as if he hadn't been touched by Julia words, on the contrary he gave her a cocky smile. "See you next time! Enjoy your day"

"I really don't think there's gonna be a next time. Have a lovely day, Lieutenant Morales "

She walked off, turning to look at that man, undoubtedly handsome, discovering that he was still looking at her.

She have been rude to that soldier and it wasn't like her. He had been kind and thoughtful. After a few blocks she felt guilty because of the way she had behaved. If she met him again she would apologize.
