Ch. 3 - - Alex's Visit


Rafe = 20, Danny = 19, Alex = 17

It was May, and Alex was going to visit in one week. Both Alex and Rafe were excited. Danny was currently going out with a nurse
named Tina, and Rafe was going out with a girl named Jessica. Alex wasn't going out with anybody, he was tired of going out with girls at
the moment. Danny and Rafe were stationed at a pilot camp in Boston, and Alex was almost finished with school. Alex was planning on
keeping his promise with Rafe. He would not join the army, or navy or air force, or anything.

"Rafe, when did you say Alex was coming?" asked Danny. It was May 22nd, and Danny was pretty sure that Alex should be coming soon.
"Um.. let me see.. the 22nd. We are supposed to go n' pick him up at 2:22 p.m. at the train station." Rafe replied. Danny looked at his
watch and said, "Um.. Rafe, its 2:00 right now. And.. its May 22nd." Rafe looked at his own watch, and gaped in disbelief. "WHAT!!!" he
yelled loudly. He ran into his car, and Danny went in as well. When they arrived at the train station, it was 2:40 They walked around in
search of Alex. Finally, they spotted him standing, looking around. "ALEX!!" Rafe yelled, waving his hands in the air. Alex turned around,
and smiled at the sight of his older brother. "Hey, Alex! You look olld! When was the last time we saw eachother?" Rafe asked after a quick
hug. "I guess it was like three years ago? I can't remember. Well, its good to see you, instead of having to wait months before getting a
reply from ya'll." Danny smiled and said, "I only remember when Rafe remembers, he tells me when you wrote, when he wants to write." Alex
laughed and Rafe said, "Hey, you gotta see Jessica, she is something!" Danny then said, "Well, Tina sure is something too! We've been goin'
out for at least five months now." Rafe held Alex's bags, and put them in his trunk. Then, they all drove back to the camp.

Jessica was a petite girl at the age of 18. She had long brown hair, which was wavy, and was turning light brown from the sun. She
wore a short skirt and a long sleeved t-shirt when her boyfriend, Rafe came. With him, he brought Danny, and another boy, who looked like
Rafe in a way. Jessica concluded that it was Alex, Rafe's brother, because he was supposed to come today anyways.

"Jessica!" Rafe yelled as he ran to Jessica. Jessica smiled and brushed back a strand of hair. Then, Rafe lifted her in the air, and
set her back down to give her a long kiss. Jessica parted from the kiss and asked, "Is that Alex?" Her voice was soft, yet demanding, in a
weird kind of way. "Yeah, Alex, this is my girlfriend, Liutenant Jessica Sandler. Jessica, this is my brother Alexander McCawley." Alex
scowled at the long name and said, "'Nough of the formalities. You can call me Alex." He shook Jessica's hand and smiled. Jessica smiled
back, and then Danny said, "Jessica, have you seen Tina 'round here?" Jessica nodded and said, "She is in her room. She's brushing her hair.
She's been brushin' it forever!" Danny laughed, and walked into the room.

Tina was also petite, and was also 18. She had light brown hair, which went to her shoulders, and was straight. She wore a skirt
that went to her knees, and a long sleeved shirt. She was brushing her hair, the sixteenth time, waiting for her boyfriend Danny to come.
They were going to go on a double date with Jessica and Rafe. Tina heard a knock at her door, and opened it. "Hey Tina." Danny said.
"Jessica's been saying that you have been brushing your hair forever. Tryin' to look good for Rafe's brother?" Danny asked teasingly.
"Alex is here? No wonder you were so slow coming here." Tina's voice was a quiet voice, and sounded kind. Danny smiled shamefully. "Yeah,
Rafe forgot that Alex was coming." Tina laughed and then walked with Danny back outside to meet Alex.

"So, Alex.. why aren't you dating anybody? Aren't there girls lined up?" Rafe asked teasingly. The five of them were at a local
resturant. "Well.. I was going out with one girl, her name was Mia Brown. Remember Jenneane Brown?" Alex replied. "Yeah, she was the one
girl who followed me wherever I walked! What happaned with Mia?" Rafe asked. Alex sighed and said, "She was scary. She tried to make me
kiss her on our first date. She talked 'bout things that didn't have 'nothing to do with 'nothing. So, I dumped her, but she kept on followin'
me, and I decided to take a break from girls." Tina laughed at Alex's story and said, "Well, not all girls are like that." The five talked
for the rest of the night at the resturaunt. Finally, at 10:00 p.m, the boys walked the girls home, and then, went home themselves.
"Well, that was fun!" Danny exclaimed. "Yeah.." Alex started, "Hey ya'll, I haven't flew a plane with somebody else in ages! Haven't played
Chicken either, nobody to play with." "Well, I guess your gonna have to remember how to play, cause me an' Danny, wer'e experts at it!"
The boys went to the camp, and got out planes, and began to fly.

"Rafe.. I don't think wer'e allowed to do this." Danny's voice said. "We're gonna get in trouble again, I can feel it."
"Well, when do we get this kinda chance to fly 'gainst Alex? Besides, we're already in trouble from doing that double loop yesterday, remember?"
"That was YOU!" "Hey guys, lets just go!" Alex yelled. They flew, and, did several different tricks in the air, and then, Rafe said,
"Alright, Alex, lets play some chicken." Alex agreed, and Danny wondered what would happen. The two brothers flew at high speed heading
straight towards one another. Then, at the last minute, they both turned, but not without having a scratch or two on Alex's plane.
"Aw man, we're in big trouble!" Rafe yelled. They all landed their planes, and ran off, hoping that nobody saw them. Luckily, nobody did, but
Danny and Rafe knew that the next morning, somebody was going to get in trouble.

The three boys went to Danny and Rafe's apartment, and stayed up very lete, talking about nonsense. The next morning, Monday, Danny
woke up with a start. "Its 6:50, Rafe wake up!" The boys had to be at the camp at 7:00. They ran around, searching for their clothes, and
got to the camp three minutes late. Alex sat to the side as he watched the Captin yell at both Danny and Rafe.
"One hundred push ups, now! And, by the way, did you two boys know anything about three planes, flying around late last night? One of them
came back with a huge dent in it! Do you know anything 'bout that?" the Captin asked.
"No, sir, there are only two of us, why would we pilot a third plane?" Rafe asked innocently. The captin sighed, and went back to everyone else.
With his back to Danny and Rafe, he said, "Next time your late, it will be three hundred push ups, understand?"
"Yes sir!"


Ahh!! That really sucked didn't it? Well, sorry about that! It was short again, and real boring too. I gotta add more to Alex's visit, so..
