Chapter 5
Danny and Jamie's eyes grew wide and they both just stared at Rafe.
"I asked what was going on here," said Rafe getting impatient.
"I-its not what it looks like!" exlaimed Danny.
Rafe raised his eyebrows and looked at Danny hard.
"So you're telling me that you standing in here behind a plane your lips attached to Jim isn't what it looks like?"
"Yeah," said Danny shrugging nervously.
"Look Danny, I don't have a problem if your doors happen to swing that way but why didn't you just tell me?" asked Rafe putting his hands on his hips.
"Well, you see, I didn't tell you because I'm not gay. Jim's not a guy, he's a she." explained Danny.
Rafe almost bust out laughing.
''Now Danny, thats no way to talk about Jim. I mean, it's ok if ya'll are together but callin' Jim a girl is just wrong."
"But I am a girl," said Jamie stepping forward.
Rafe looked at her.
"No, you're Jim. Has Danny got you brainwashed to say that?" asked Rafe.
"Rafe honest to god you are retarded sometimes," sighed Danny. "God Rafe what else to you need to believe Jim's a she?''
Jamie thought for a second before sending a dirty look Danny's way.
"What?" he asked after intercepting the nasty look.
"You make me put on that nurse's outfit I'm gonna hurt you," said Jamie.
"Oh Danny now that's just kinky," said Rafe shaking his head.
Jamie stomped her foot and walked over to her locker and spun the lock. She opened the locker and changed into this white outfit right infront of them. She looked more womanly in woman's clothes. Rafe's eyebrows shot up to his hairline.
"Fix-all J is a girl?" squeaked Rafe.
"Yes, and you need to keep it quiet. I don't want to get thrown out. So as far as you know I'm still Jim." said Jamie looking pleadingly at him.
"Where did you learn to fix all this?" asked Rafe sitting down.
"Well when your father is at war and your mother wants nothing to do with you then you just kind of learn to tinker with thinks and figure out how they work and I would sneak books from the library and hide them in my room and read them. My mom never knew and to this day she thinks I'm a nurse." sighed Jamie changing back into the tan uniform.
Rafe looked between Danny and Jamie.
"So you two are.......together?"
"Yeah," said Jamie looking at Danny, "you could say that."
Rafe nodded and smiled at them.
"So neither one of you is going to greet me?" asked Rafe.
Jamie looked up and ran over to him hugging him. Danny followed close after Jamie.
"We thought you were dead," said Jamie into his shirt.
"So did I," said Rafe.
****
It didn't take long for people to realize that Rafe was alive. Evelyn being one of the ones who was overjoyed to see him.
One evening the four were gathered in a hanger and Jamie was replacing a broken windshild.
"Danny, if you wouldn't throw rocks at Rafe on base I wouldn't be doing this," said Jamie pointing the sealant gun at him.
He shrugged and laughed, "We don't call you fix-all J for nothin'."
"If you keep it up I'm movin' my buns back to Tenessee mister."
He laughed again and Jamie looked up at him again.
"Is that a challenge?" asked Jamie standing up.
He looked at her before saying, "yeah."
"Oh this is gonna be good," laughed Rafe.
Jamie jumped down and took off her uniform shirt and stood with the white beater on. She moved into fighting stance and challenged him.
"We'd better take this outside because if we don't you're gonna have more to fix than you bargained for J."
She nodded and moved outside, Rafe and Evelyn behind them.
"Don't go easy on me Dan, I'm not a little girl," said Jamie winking at him.
"Yeah I know, you're a big girl," laughed Danny.
She stood in mock hurt, " you're going down buddy."
"Bring it on."
Their fight started and pretty soon they'd gathered a large crowd. And what was funny was that Jamie was winning.
"C'mon Danny, you're so much bigger and stronger than me," taunted Jamie.
"I don't lift big heavy things," said Danny.
"You lift Rafe, thats a really big heavy thing," laughed Jamie thowing a glance at Rafe.
Jamie was waiting for the opportunity to clock him good. He was pretty well protected. He made a swing at her and there it was. She ducked and shoved her fist into his stomach.
"Sorry Dan," said Jamie as he fell to the ground.
"Damn J, you hit hard," gasped Danny.
She looked at him apologetically and looked to Evelyn who was laughing and collecting something from Rafe. She held a hand down to Danny.
"Beat by a girl," she whispered in his ear as he got up.
He glared at her but smiled.
"Woo! Go J!" yelled Red.
She turned and bowed to the small audience and returned to the hanger as the group broke up. Danny followed her in and she picked up her sealant and hopped back up on the plane.
"Good fight, where did you learn to do all of that?"
"Rafe." said Jamie simply.
"He taught that to you?" asked Danny bewildered. "He never taught any of that to me. Now I feel neglected."
Jamie smiled and looked down at him.
"He loves me more then he loves you," laughed Jamie.
"But I bet you don't love him as much as you love me," said Danny getting up on the wing.
Jamie pointed the gun at him, "Ok now that's a true statement."
He leaned into the cockpit and gave her a gentle kiss.
"Alright you two, break it up before you get caught, again," said Rafe coming into the Hanger. "J, it's time for your flying test."
Jamie's head came up over the edge of the cockpit.
"TEST! Who's giving me the test?" yelled Jamie.
"Why Danny is. It was his idea." said Rafe looked at Danny.
Jamie's eyes bore into Danny.
"You didn't tell me you were testing me today."
"Pop quiz," laughed Danny jumping down before she had time to hurt him. "Suit up, test in ten."
Danny walked out of the hanger and Jamie let a wrench fly narrowly missing his head. Instead it clanged and skidded across the runway. She could hear him laughing as she climbed out of the plane.
"Ohhhhhh if he wasn't Danny Walker I'd kill him," said Jamie taking off her grungy pants and putting on a pair of clean ones.
"A lot of people say that, well, no actually you're the only one who seems to love him yet want to kill him at the same time." said Rafe.
"Ask Evelyn I bet she feels the same way about you too Captian McCawley," said Jamie walking out of the hanger and going to prep Danny's plane.
She was mentally preparing herself for this test when Danny appeared in full uniform with a clipboard.
"Oh don't we look just the stud?" asked Jamie saluting.
"Yep," said Danny returning the salute and beginning to check her work.
"Everything is looking good so far are you ready to fly?" asked Danny?
"No but do I have a choice? No, so lets go."
Jamie got in the plane and Danny squished into the seat with her.
She began the taxi out and took off from Hickum. She ran through everything she was supposed to be and when it came time to land she almost had a heart attack.
"Breathe Jamie, you're turning blue," said Danny looking at her.
She nodded and took a deep breath and began her decent watching her altimeter and the run way. Touch down was smooth. She pulled the plane back in the hanger and got out. She watched Danny scribble down some things and she shook her head walking back to the other hanger.
"Excellent landing J," said Rafe as she came back in.
"Thanks."
"Jamie could you come with me please?" asked Danny looking stern at the hanger door.
She looked at Rafe before walking towards Danny.
