Danny stood there confounded what the hell had Jannee just done. Amen she hadn't really bought the dress he had dreaded. For a sick sad moment, Danny thought she really had. Imagine what kind of ruckus that could have caused if she wore that in public.

Danny is so gullible thought Jannee trying not to laugh. She really shouldn't have done that but it was rather funny to say the least. Or at least for. Oh well tomarrow Danny and i will leave for Pearl Harbor together (thankgod) and wait for Rafe to join us whenever he gets back from the eagle squadron if he gets back. God forbid he don't thought Jannee trying to push that thought aside. She really couldn't bear to see Danny and Evelyn trying to live a life without him, come to think of it, how would she cope? Shut up she ordered her mind. It didn't shut up as she pulled the covers over her head.

The sun had barely risen when Jannee went to wake Danny up. " God, what is it this time" mumbled Danny grogily his voice still muddled with sleepiness. " well" Jannee stated matter of factly " We have a boat to catch in two hours and i am most ashamed that i had to wake you up vs. you waking me up, now i look like the bad guy" said Jannee pulling the covers off the bed causing Danny to sit up. " I knew that would do it" said Jannee sardonically. " do you always have to be such a smart ass in the morning" said Danny hitting Jannee with the pillow. " I do indeed" said Jannee smartly.

A few weeks latter, her and Danny had arrived in pearl. On the boat, she had met Evelyn, Rafe's girlfriend. She was really nice.

Pearl Harbor was really pretty. It was also peaceful. She had headed Danny's warning to sociallizing with strangers on a beach not to far from where they were staying for the time being, some of them were really creepy. Earlier that day, I went with Danny and one of his friends to watch a wrestling match on a ship. Danny won the bet.

Pearl Harbor was great thought Danny. He was just having one job of keeping an eye on Jannee. He despite not wanting her to come he was acctually glad she was there to talk to. He also felt better that she wasn't by herself. The letters from Rafe weren't exactly what you would call pleasant. Danny was just hopping he would come back in one piece.

Danny hadn't been stationed in Pearl very long when Col. Dollitle called him to the office. What had he done this time, he had been training really hard and hadn't done anything bad that he knew of. " Danny please take a seat, i want to talk to you about Rafe" said Dollitle. " What about Rafe" said Danny trying to keep his composure. " He died, word just came today that his plane crashed and they didn't find his body, I'm sorry" said Dollitle as he dismissed Danny. Damn why did this happen thought angrily as trying to find the best way to tell Evelyn. At this thought, tears started coursing their way down his face, he didn't try to stop them.

Danny took a cab to the place where the nurses were staying. How was he going to say this?

Evelyn spotted the cab outside the window. Her heart leapt for joy, it must be Rafe! She walked to the door hardly containing her joy at the arrival of Rafe. It wasn't Rafe who stepped out of the cab, it was Danny in a military uniform with a tear stained face. Her happiness popped more rapidly than a balloon. Rafe was dead, Danny didn't even have to say it she thought as she headed toward Danny now joining him in his crying.

God Danny thought, she must of thought it was Rafe who was going to get out of the cab. He felt really bad as he stroked her hair.

Oh god thought Evelyn through tears. Rafe is dead. Danny must be litterally trying to remain in one piece. How could this have happened to Rafe?

They were now talking quietly about Rafe on a bench outside of the house. " why did Rafe have to volunteer to go to war in the first place" sighed Evelyn as she tried to stop another wave of tears. " He volunteered" asked Danny. " He said he was assigned" said Danny, " He always was trying to protect me". " He didn't tell you he volunteered" asked Evelyn. " no he didn't" said Danny. A silence engulfed them temporarily. Evelyn laid her head on Danny's shoulder and began to cry. Danny cried too.

Danny walked in to find Jannee was waiting for him, god was he glad to see her.

Oh dear God, Danny looks like he just got back from hell. Please tell me Rafe didn't die. Jannee reached out and hugged her brother, he was shaking all over.

" Rafe's dead" chocked out Danny. " I know" said Jannee. " Why are you up so late" asked Danny looking down at her. " I was waiting for you and last time i checked, i didn't have a bed time" said Jannee. Danny almost smiled. She was right. " Well, I'm going to bed" said Danny. " Good-night" said Jannee softly as he left.

Evelyn walked in to find her room mates wondering what had happened. She simply told them Rafe was no more and went to bed to cry. God, why did he have to die thought Evelyn falling alsleep.
