"Sir, we are told that there is going to be a new trooper." Johnny Rico said.
"Im already informed of that Rico." Lt. Razak said.
"Hey, is that her?" Dizzy asked.
"Its a she?" Gossard asked.
"Yah, and Im a she too, so if ya wanna make something of it, see me." Dizzy said with a smile. I walked up.
"Um, Im Kam Bruto." I mumbled.
"Kam Bruto?" Rico asked, looking at Sgt. Bruto.
"Yah, my little sister." He said.
"Oh this is some great stuff!" Gossard exlaimed.
"Why did you even come here Kam?" My brother asked.
"I missed you! Actually, I didnt, but I like to fight, and Im good at it, so I joined the squad!" I said.
"Well, the first time you screw up, which I know you will, your going back home. Because if you get hurt, Mom and Dad will make it my fault." He said angrily.
"Shove it! Im staying!" I said.
"Well, how old are you first? All of us here are 20 or older, except Im 38." Lt. Razak said.
"Um, how old is the youngest person here?" I asked.
"Im Higgins, and I am only 20." A cute guy said.
"Oh. I just turned 17." I mumbled.
"We might have to send you home. Your just a kid." Lt. Razak said. I sighed and looked down. Then I walked over the tents. I sat down with my knees up and had my arms around them. Then I rested my head on them. I could feel tears building up.
"Hey, are you okay?" Higgins asked, walking over.
"Im fine. Its just everyone expects me to be weak because Im younger. Ive been in three different squads so far, and they kick me out the first day cause Im so young. But they underestimate me. Im pretty strong, but they just focus on my age." I mumbled.
"Well, Im the youngest too. I dont really fight, but I am a journalist. The whole squad treats me badly cause Im too weak to go somewhere alone." Higgins said.
"Are you serious?" I asked with a smile.
"Yah." He said.
"Okay, I decided. You can stay on the squad." Lt. Razak said.
"Really! Thank you so much!" I exlaimed.
"But, the first time you proove to me how weak you are, you have to go back home. It that clear?" He asked. I nodded. "Okay apes! Get in your suits, grab your guns. We are going to kick some bug butt!" He added. Everyone started to run to the ship. I got up and me and Higgins ran over to it.
"Zander!" I exlaimed, seeing the pilot of the ship. The other pilot was Carmen Ibanez.
"Kam!" He exlaimed.
"You know him?" Higgins asked.
"He is my x-boyfirend!" I said in awe. Man he had gotten a lot hotter.
"Oh. Well, uh, do you have a boyfriend now?" Higgins asked.
"No. Its good to see you again Zander." I said. He grinned.
"Yah, you too. Hey, good luck out there. Its your first day, and where you guys are going is going to be pretty tough." He said.
"Thanks for the good luck, but I think I will be fine." I said, walking into the suit-up area. Higgins followed.

After getting in uniform, I grabbed my gun. I was so hyped up! I am actually able to be on a squad! All I have to do is do good, and I get to stay! The ship landed, and the troopers ran out. I followed. Immediatly a load of bugs came running out. I started shooting at them, and successfully killed 5. I looked around and Rico, Dizzy, and Carl were all in a little group, Doc and Gossard were in another, and Lt. Razak and my brother were in another. The ship that brought us had flown away. Higgins was recording everything with his camrecorder. I shook my head and decided to pay attention. Good thing I looked in front of me when I did because I had to shoot a bug that was inches away. That was scary. I could feel my heart beating fast from the rush of fear and excitement. All of a sudden I heard a blast and a giant ball of plasma went shooting up into the sky, then started to fall. I noticed it was kinda falling where I was. I kinda just watched it come closer and closer. Then I realized what was happening and I jumped out of the way and it blew a chunk out of the ground where I just had been. I breathed quickly in and out from fear. I could see my breath on the front of my helmet. (the glass part) I heard a bug noise and looked behind me and shot the bug right before it attacked me. What had I gotten myself into? I thought it would be fun, but I had to realize the facts. I could die today! With that thought I started to hyperventalate. Soon enough a buttload of bugs formed around me. I desperately looked around for help, but everyone else was busy with their own bugs. I had no choice. I grabbed a grenade and placed it where I was standing. Then I ran a few yards away as it exploded and killed a few bugs. I could feel the heat, even through my suit. I turned to look to see how many bugs were left. Still a buttload. I started shooting. I heard beeping and looked at my gun. It was going empty. I had 28 bullets left. Better make them count. I killed another 3 bugs, to see I only had 10 left. All the other noises around me seemed to blur out except for my gun shooting. I watched the bullets go. 5 left. 2 left. All of a sudden my gun clicked. Im out. I grabbed for another grenade to see I had none left. Its over. I dont wanna be a soldier anymore. I wanna go home. I watched a bug come running up to me. I just stood there, not able to do anything. I winced as I saw it raise a claw. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see what would happen next.
