A/N: AH! It's been too long and I've been too busy birthday and everything...anyways! Um, enjoy the story and REVIEW!!!
Her heels clicked as she walked down the hallway. She had a smile on her face that wouldn't fade. She went down into a room that a patient was in. Evelyn has said he needed stitches. The man stood up to greet her. Then sat back down.
"Dorie Miller ma'am," is all he said.
"Michelle McCawley," she replied. She got to work stitching up his head wound. He said he got it from boxing. "Did you win?"
"Yes ma'am," he replied.
"And what do you get for winning?" she asked.
He thought for a minute and then answered, "Respect."
"It's a shame that you have to fight to earn respect," she said.
"I left my mama to come here and join the navy," he paused "I haven't fired once. They made me a cook..."
"Let's hope you never have to," she smiled and they said their goodbyes. She saw Danny get out of a car and she smiled until she saw the look on his face. She sobbed into his uniform and she didn't care who saw her.

Everyone gathered around the little bar as shots were handed out. They put a filled glass next to Rafe's picture that simply read "killed in action."
Danny broke the unbearable silence, "I've known Rafe ever since I was little. We would make airplanes out of anything we could get our hands on. We both made a promise. A promise to become pilots and we always knew that our dream would one day come true. Here we are. Toasting to the greatest pilot and friend ever. We went through the good and the bad together. I know none of us will ever forget him. To Rafe." They all raised their glasses and drowned the burning liquid down.
"To Rafe," Michelle whispered. She couldn't bring herself to cry. She's been doing too much of that. She swallowed the liquid. It brought her comfort. It calmed her down and held the tears back. She felt someone's eyes on her. She looked up to see Danny's sad eyes looking back into hers. They needed each other more than anything now.
She couldn't take it anymore. She had to get away. She walked out the door with no emotion on her face. What started as a slow walk turned into a run. She ran as fast as she could until she stopped by a little place next to the beach. She began to smash everything in her path that she could find. She suddenly fell to her knees and sobbed. She sobbed for Rafe, for Danny, and for Evelyn. She felt a familiar embrace. He rubbed her back soothingly and whispered comforting words in her ear.
She put her forehead to his, "Danny, I really need you right now..."
"I need you too Michelle. I'll be here for you at any hour or any day of the week," he said just above a whisper.
They sealed their promise with a kiss. They knew through thick or thin. Night or day. They'd be there for each other no matter what happened.
Those promises have been broken. It had been weeks maybe even months since Michelle had spoken to Danny. At first she would go twice a week or whenever her shifts were done to see him, but there wasn't a time when he wasn't soaring high above the sky. Trying to forget. Trying to move on. She started to busy herself with work and that's all she focused on. It seemed to get her through the day, but most of all it kept her thoughts away from Danny and Rafe. She started to spend all of her hours awake at work. Whether it be helping a patient or just organizing supplies she was at the hospital. The smile that was usually present was replaced by a frown. By the bags under her eyes you could tell she hadn't slept for weeks. This didn't go unnoticed by her fellow nurse friends. They knew they had to do something, anything to get Danny and Michelle back together.
A/N: Ah, Danny and Michelle are having a silent battle LIKE THE COLD WAR! Sorry, lol Cold War paper on my mind...we had to turn it in today. 3 pages on containment. Ick, anyways, I hope your not too disappointed and I already started a lil bit of the next chapter. Once again thanks for reading, review, and I'll have the next chapter up shortly.
