A/N: Okay this whole Ben Affleck/Josh Hartnett film festival is giving me so many ideas. So I started like using all this shtuff that was from like all the other movies. So anyway, I don't know enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Chesty Smith, he is Ben Affleck in School Ties and the whole bubble analogy you may recognize that from Forces of Nature. Oh well someday I'll become original but who the hell knows when that day will come.
Danny Walker stood in the dark small shower room as he slicked his long dark hair back. He smelt of cologne mixing with the sweet musky stench of his after-shave. He was content on looking his best that day hoping the train to the city wouldn't mess up his perfect image. The chatter of the men entering overthrew the silence of the room. Their faces were covered with dirt, shirts stained from sprits of oil.
Chesty Smith, the new fellow in the squadron stood next to Danny as he washed his face. Chesty was almost a spitting image of Rafe but was only nineteen. He looked very young compared to the other men. Danny was the closest to Chesty being twenty and the two got along very well.
"So what are you gettin' ready for?" Chesty asked running his fingers through his short dark brown hair.
"A date," Danny responded smiling.
"So who will you be torturing tonight?" Chesty chuckled.
"Rafe' little sister."
"Woah! Does he know?"
"Yeah."
Billy came up from behind Danny standing in front of the mirror next to him. "So where ya goin'?"
"Out," Danny responded simply.
"With Rafe's sister," Chesty finished.
"Wait a second!" Billy paused, "Are you the guy Kirsten dumped me for?"
"What are you talkin' about?" Danny said sternly, his southern tongue deteriorating, "she said you guys had already broken up!"
"Sure, and you were right there to pick up her broken heart right!?"
"Shut up! You left her ass back home, at least I brought her with me!"
"Oh and now you think you're some kind of here or somthin'?"
"You know what? Shut the hell up!"
"Yeah that sounds good cuz I rather do this!" Billy said as he punched Danny in the jaw.
"I needed a reason for kicking your ass, and this is a perfect excuse!" Danny said retaliating with a blow in the gut.
The fight that followed left Danny with a swollen jaw and a black eye. Billy had a busted lip and an eye swelled shut. This did not keep Danny from his date though; he quickly got to the train station to meet Kirsten in Manhattan.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The subtle smell of hotdogs and hamburgers were overwhelmed by the strong stench of smoke. The sidewalks along the street glistened underneath the thin layer of cigarette butts and chewed up gum.
Kirsten McCawley held herself in a conservative fashion as she briskly walked to the restaurant where she would meet Danny.
The waiter sat her at a table near a window over looking New York harbor. She followed her fingers along the window tracing all of the spectacular lights.
Danny entered shortly after her as he brushed his dark hair from his mysterious eyes. Kirsten gasped looking at the dark ring underneath his right eye. Danny approached her sitting across from her.
"Hi," he said placing the napkin across his lap.
"Did you get mugged or something? What happened?" Kirsten asked rubbing his face.
"I met your ex," he sighed, "I don't think he likes me very much," he smiled laughing slightly.
"What did ya do to him?" Kirsten asked worriedly knowing of Danny's exceptional fighting skills.
"Ah, nothing that bad." He sighed sipping his water, "so how's nursing?"
"Fine, how's flying?"
"Good. I missed you!"
"I missed you too," she smiled running her fingers through his hair.
At that moment there was no one else in that restaurant but them, there was no one on that planet but them. For they both believed that there was one person made for them where they would be in a protective bubble, shielding them from all that was bad. At first in their relationship there wasn't one but they had to build it and their bubble was built by the most powerful material, true love.
A/N: I'm sorry about the horribly cheesy ending to this chapter but I couldn't help myself! Any way keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing.
