=======================

Today was one of those days where you really need a break. Like when you have to do something you don't want to. So you just don't do it. That is what Rafe McCawley had planned for that day.

It was a lovely May day. The sun was shining. The birds were chirping. Not that dear Rafe cared about singing birds. Maybe the hot dog vendors would have lowered prices. It really didn't matter. All Rafe knew was that he was not training today.

He was going to have some fun.

************

Danny Walked lay on the top bunk. He groaned and rolled his head around a little bit. His head ached and his throat felt like it had been attacked with sandpaper. It was around six o'clock and the other pilots were getting ready to go out to the training field.

"Hey, Walker. You comin'?" his bunkmate yelled as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"Nah. I feel terrible," Danny managed to rasp.

"Ah. Well, see ya later, bud," the other man said, not sounding like he cared. Danny sighed and turned over. The door closed and the rest of the pilots were gone. Danny closed his eyes, thinking he should at least try to get some sleep. Suddenly the door opened again.

"Danny!" He heard Rafe's voice. "Get dressed!"

"Have you no respect for the dying?" Danny groaned, shoving a pillow over his head. Rafe grabbed the pillow.

"Come on!" Rafe urged impatiently. "Let's go!"

"Go where? Why aren't you with the rest of the guys?" Danny was angry now.

"I'm taking the day off, of course," Rafe said as if it were completely obvious.

"That's great. Go away," Danny insisted, shrinking under the covers. Rafe shook his head. He tossed Danny his clothes.

"Come on!" Rafe repeated yet again. "We don't have much time. I wanna do everything today!" Just like Rafe to plan to do everything. Danny doubted that Rafe knew that you couldn't do anything in just one short day.

"Fine. But I'm going to sleep!" Danny said. Rafe smirked.

"Fine, if that's the way you want it." Rafe paused. He had an idea. "Twinkle, twinkle, little star!" he sang at the top of his lungs. Danny cried out.

"No Rafe, please! Don't!" he begged. His throat was on fire from talking so much. He was miserable. But Rafe was insistent on going. Even if he had to drag Danny out of bed.

"Get dressed!" Rafe ordered. Danny sat up.

"Fine. But you owe me," he spat. He got dressed and the two of them sneaked down to Rafe's room.

"Okay, now we need to get Evelyn."

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Evelyn was bored out of her mind. Nothing ever happened at the hospital. Her friends idly chatted and played simple card games. All of a sudden the phone rang. She snatched it up.

"Hello?"

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Hey, Evelyn, me and Danny are takin' the day off!" Rafe said enthusiastically into the phone. "Can you sneak out?" He paused as Evelyn gave her answer. Then he turned to Danny and gave him a thumbs up.

"Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We'll pick you up outside." Rafe paused. "Yeah, sweetie. I love you too. Bye." He hung up. "Girls."
