Hey Lia get up already!" said a voice laughing.
"you sleep more than my neighbor's cat!"
I opened my eyes and I saw.. "Josh Hartnett!!"
I fell back on a bed that I was sleeping in.
He looked at me strangely laughing going on the bed looking at me on the floor.
" are you okay? And who's Josh Hartnett??"
I stood there speechless. "y-y-y-you!"
He smiled. "do you have crush on a guy I should know?"
"hey Danny!" Then I saw the guy that look like Ben Affleck.
I shook my head. "I must dreaming.yeah that's it dreaming.."
"hey Lia you alright?" said Ben.
"um.you're.you're Ben right?"
Ben laughed.
"are you into dream land again. no"
he said real slow like if I was mental. "I-----am------Rafe----- McCawley
I made a face at him then I realized this was like in the movie Pearl Harbor.
"odd." I looked at Josh.
He was so handsome and seem to be real happy.
"Danny...Walker.."
"hey you remebered me!" said Danny acting and laughing at the same time.
I got up. I saw myself in a military uniform. "odd."
Danny laughed. "is odd all you can say.. now come on.. we gotta see how Red is at the hospital that burn looked bad" he ran off.
"Rafe looked at me and sat down. 'you okay Lia. you know I've always been like a brother to you.."
I looked at him and smiled. "no.it's okay. I was.lost for a moment.."
Rafe smiled. "okay.." he got up and left.
I followed not knowing where else to go.
"Danny" walked by my side. I felt my heart beating real hard on my chest. He smiled.
"alright there we are" he ran up ahead like some type of little kidergarten kid going to the park.
I ran after him and walked in when I saw.
"samantha??!!!"
Samantha looked at me and smirked.
"yeah that's me Lia. Woah you look sick you okay?"
I just smiled. "oh I'm perfectly fine.never been better really.."
Even though I knew I was right next to the one person I only wish to at least sign my auto graph book was now part of my life
.no a glimpse I guess because this wasn't real. but hey enjoy it while I can is all I can say.
Amy then came to the scene.
"amy!!" I wanted to shout and hug her.
Then I saw Red. He had a harsh burn on him and my friend Lisa was smoothing his back with cream to make it better.
She then took a tray and dropped it when she saw Rafe.
"oh hi." she said and dropped to the floor to pick up the things she dropped.
Now to describe my friends Amy was a girl with brown hair which was neither wavy or curly. It was right there in the middle. Her eyes are brown but now she was a blonde! It was her just with blonde hair. She ahd always told me it was her natural hair color and then after it changed but .wow.
Then I saw Samantha. She was the same with her dark blonde hair and her green eyes.
But now Alyssa was another one who changed. Her hair was red! Her hair was just like my sister. Blondish brown but now red. She didn't look bad but she seem to stammer a bit next to Rafe and her cheeks turned all pink.
I looked around.
"wow. I never taught I would end up here.."
I turned to Danny again but for some reason couldn't galnce at him then
Sam looked at her.
"what's a matter can't handle looking at your boyfriend?"
My heart lept. "boyfriend???!! This handsome pilot was my boy friend.."
I looked at Red. "mmmmmmwhat a matter.." He started to stammer the usual. "mmmmmmforgot your.mmmm..life for a moment?"
I looked at Danny he seem to be blushing with his face turned then he looked at sam and starts pointing in a boyish way like to run off after what he gotta say.
"for the last time she aint my girl.." he ran off.
Sam,Lisa, and Amy started to laugh. Rafe chuckled a bit and I was dead red.
Red smiled. "mmmmmmmmmm are you going to the mmmmdance Rafe"
Rafe smiled and sighed. "yeah..." he seem to be day dreaming and the girl started to giggle.
Rafe then cleared his throat.
"well see you later girls at the dance."
I stood there looking at Red and Alyssa.
"alright fly boy you can go off now." Red smiled.
"mmmmm thanks..mmmmm.Nurse"
Lisa winked. "call me Lisa.." I ran up to them.
Samantha looked at me while getting her siccors and medicnes in a tray .
"well are you all going to the dance"
"I am" said Amy excitedly.
"girl I came here to do..well do a country a good sevice" Lisa laughed.
Sam looked at her as if saying "uh huh" and then said.
"yeah right you know you came here to see about a million men in their underwear"
I started to laugh with Sam while Amy turned bright red.
Amy then breath in and then out. Then she smiled real happy.
"that's why we are here to serve.."
The girls started to giggle and laugh again. I smiled. My friend where so much older. They were about 17-20 years of age.
"don't mind me asking but how old are you girls again" Amy smiled.
"I'm 20.."
Sam smiled. "19" Lisa who was washing her hand in the sink.
"18. and if you want to know your age it's 17" she said teasing.
The girls laughed. "wow Lia you act like if you lost your memory.."
I only smiled hesitating a bit. "no. I'm just pretty um..sick.."
A young sailor came in by the name of Dorie Miller but that was not Dorie Miller. To me that was the guy from Snow dogs but I notice the girls started to giggle behind me.
"wow..he's handsome.." said Amy
"yeah .. I'm going..to treat him first" said Lisa getting ahead of the other nurses.
Sam smiled. "wow... and to think he's a sailor"
Well "dorie" put his hat on his chest and then spoke. "good morning ma'am. "
Lisa was blushing. "how may I help you?"
"well I got a bit of a cut.right there and.."
"okay just sit down.." said lisa flirting a bit.
Then came the other nurses. Evelyn, Barbara, Sandra Betty, and Martha.
"hello sweet heart wats a matter" said Evelyn smiling at me.
I smiled. "oh nothing.. I'm a bit um.not myself today.."
Betty was running ahead and sitsd down. "okay we're going to the dance today."
she said laughing hesitaing a bit. "we need to look our best.."
"honey we're going to be more than gorgeous we're going to leave those pilot like a bunch of dogs wanting their little treat.." Barbara laughed as she said this.
The nurses started to gigile.
I sat down listening to them. Martha took out a small mirror applying make up on.
"well we were here to meet guys weren't we?" she smiled at herself in the small mirro and put it away.
"alright girls we're going shopping for our clothes okay."
Sandra looked at me.
"and especially find some clothes for our little Lia"
I smiled a bit uncomfortable.
"yeah honey how do you expect for Danny to notice you if you're always there like if you were one of them."
Amy laughed.
"she is one of them.."
Sam sat down.
"you know what she mean.."
"uh huh" said Martha.
"you know what this means girls!"
Betty laughed.
" oh I know."
The girls shouted. "MAKE OVER!!!"
If there was one thing I hated was make up.. Icky disgusting make up.
"oh come on" said Evelyn in her sweet voice.
"come here after like an hour before the dance okay?"
I immeditely agreed just to get out of there and ran off.
Lisa was smiling and still flirting with Dorie and from the looks of it. He seem intrested.
But I coludn't say more because I kept running.
I ran all the way to the place where the guys were at.
"you are one good looking son of a bitch.don't ever change"
one of them said laughing looking at himslef in the mirror.
Then I tried to remember who he was put it didn't come to me. Was he Billy? Anthony? Joe? Or Tony?
I always use to think besides Danny was the next cute one but it didn't come to me his name. "yeah you're real good looking I'm practically meltin' for ya" I said.
Something I always wanted to tell him when I saw this movie.
"girl you know you love me.. you just don't want to accept that the hottest man alive is before you" he did a little dance before me.
"no I see the most conceited man before me" I said laughing pushing him back
One of them passed their comb through their hair and did a clicking sound. I think it was Joe but I can't seem to remember noone here.
"don't worry bout Lia here we bout to go with nurses.good lookin' nurses"
I walked off to get something while I heard one of them say.
"you trying to say Lia is ugly. Lia is hott!" he started to whistle real loud.
I laughed a bit. I'm suddenly attracted to these guys here and back in junior high school I was only "average"
"yeah but we aint good enough for Lia anyways."
Then I saw that this guy kept acting like he's extremley handsome and said.
"muah don't you eva die"
"hey we gotta take it all in this one night"
"dying that's precisely what we're suppose to be thinking.tell 'em "
"talking about the last night and dying look what I got here" he showed a small bottle.
"okay you put a bit under your eyes..let it sting a bit and then take a breath in and say"
by then the guy's eyes were watery.
"baby their preparing us for war. I just hope that everything we got to do we'll do it tonight"
"wow that was deep" I said trying hard not to laugh. "I just hope they buy it . I sure wouldn't"
They kept talking and chatting. As I walked outside with a bag on my hand which is suppose to be the dress I'm suppose to wear, I looked at Rafe and Danny.
I ran and hide behind a car they were next to listening to their conversation. .
"I suggest you not to go Rafe. it's not safe"
"hey okay listen you take care of my sister Lia think she rather have you there then me" he said punching his arm.
"sister?" I taught to myself. I aint Rafe's sister..since when?"
Danny blushed and then looked at him. "It's the most dangerous place you can go. look at us. We wear the same uniforms. if they need me.. I'll go but why go to trouble if it doesn't want me."
"Cuz I'm old now look at me I'm 25! I might as well teach these kids how to fly. I don't wanna do that I want to fight!"
"Yeah and when they have no surviovors they'll just get more people and might break ya down like they did to my dad when he fought the Germans.. and what about your sister. she cares for you.
Although she never said "brother to you.that would be because you adopted her.but"
I smiled. I understood. I was adopted. Cute but yet I was more confused my the moment.
"Lia could take care of herself. Lia's a big girl now"
"Lia's only 17! How can you ex-"
They were interrupted when Red shouted.
"Hey come on nurses don't mmmmm dance my themzleves"
"come on let's go.." I passed by them.
"where the hell is Lia heading to.." said Rafe.
"somewhere" said danny.
"I'll get her you guys keep goin' we'll catch up"
I stood there near by the beach. It was so nice as it crashed.
I really didn't feel like going to the dance. I just kept thinking is this for real? I didn't know what to do. But then I looked on thr bright side. Danny was here! I blushed real red but then I jumped up when I heard his voice.
"hey there little lady don't wanna go to the dance or something?"
"it's not that" I said laughing holding it to myself I could never imagine Josh Hartnett saying "little lady" as the wind of the beach started to hit me gently.
Danny walked beside me putting his hand in his pocket and smiled looking at the ocean.
My heart was beating so hard. How can I a 14 year old girl be crushing on this actor who doesn't know I exist and suddenly I'm 17 and it was amazing but then he asked.
"so what is it?"
Out of nowhere I said. "If I'll be able to prove that I'm good enough to actually be a female soilder"
Danny hugged me and looked at me in the eye.
His eyes were gorgeous. I couldn't help it. I think I trembled.
"you will.I'll be there to assit you in anyway.."
I picked up her foot backwards (also known as "popping" your foot) and looked at Danny's eyes. It was like I was going through a romantic scene.
I didn't want this to end but then Danny turned away and looked when.
"I forgot the dance! Come on get in the car we'll have to drive there.."
he jumped up surprised like alittle kid and hopped in the car I nodded and ran with him and hopped into the car and started to ride there.
We were by the train where I saw the nurses coming.
I then saw Evelyn as she ran to Rafe and hugged him.
I sighed in a lovey way to see my "brother" after a while I found out that Rafe adopted me. and his true love that for some reason I remember he's been bugging me and telling me about Evelyn for 2 weeks in half stairght.
They started to introduce themselves.
"alright meet my friends Barbara, Sandra Betty, and Martha, Amy, Lisa and Samantha"
Rafe pulled me to the front.I made a face and then smiled sweetly.
"Meet my sister her name is .." I cleared my throat before he said my real name.
Rafe smiled and smriked slightly and then said "but we all call her Lia."
Evelyn smiled.
'she beautiful.. hi I'm Evelyn" she said shaking my hand.
Evelyn winked knowing already who I was but didn't want to blow up Rafe's spot.
I decided to bug Rafe and then said
"so you're the girl who's going to be my future sis-oww."
Rafe had stepped on my foot.
Betty went up to Rafe shaking his hand.
"hi.. I'm betty. would you happen to have any friends.."
Rafe laughed and showed him the crowd of boys behind him.
"take your pick.."
I noticed Danny was looking up like he didn't want to be there either. I only looked at him for a moment and smiled real quick and then kept looking up like if hoping Betty not to notice him. The other guys seem to make googly faces. Betty sighed." Um.hi.."
There was dancing and a loud sound of the trumpet with a guy scatting on the microphone. The group there laughed and dirinking their drinks and eating their food.
I stood close to Danny since most of them had become a couple or are with someone they really like.
He pretend to be screaming as he saw me with make up which the nurses put on me on the last mintue (it was only lipstick) and the dress I had on.
One thing was bugging me. It was short. Hey the color black aint so bad but the heels where killing me and the dress was..too short that's it. Just too short..
"the horror!!aahhhhh"
"shut up danny!" I said annoyed after a while.
"it's just too much for me to bear.."
"it's only lipstick okay Danny.no eyeliner no blush no nothing just stupid makeup on my lips.."
"but still.ahhhhhhh horror scary." he pretend to shiver.
He looked at the dress. "you in a dress!! It's the end of the world.."
I hit him on the back of his head. "shut up!!!"
I said a bit whining wishing I never came.
Danny laughed. "I'm playing..alright alright sorry." he smiled and looked at me in the eye.
"sorry I taught you can take a joke." I looked at him and smiled and tickled him a bit to back myself up.
"ha!!! Got you!!"
He laughed like alittle kid which I adored and then I stop and he took a breath in and then out really loudly.
Then suddenly since he didn't ask me I had to ask him.
"Danny want to dance?" I said.
Danny shook his head.
"naw. you go off and see you can dance with one of the guys"
"oh come on Danny" I said already taking his hand and pulling him.
I really wanted to dance with him.
Forget the other guys. They are cute but I wanted to dance with Danny.
Hey how many girls get this opportunityin life.
The chances are 1 to infinity which the 1 was in my case.
Danny shook his head again.
"no. I can't dance. I got 2 left feet.there"
"Danny stop been a wimp and get up!"
Danny laughed.
"no now come on I don't want to dance"
I smiled and laughed and then sat down.
"fine I'll sit.enetertain me with your boring life which I know already the whole thing"
"you are an evil little girl.." I smiled sweetly and talked inncoently.
"I am??? I never noticed.."
Danny started to blush. "I really hate when you smile like that"
"why?"
"cuz it's the only think that makes me weak..oooo" he smiled.
My heart took a leap.
Noone had ever commented on the good things about me but mostly he likes my smile!
The boys now in the year 2003 try to say every little bad think about you.
"oh you got a pimple oh look you need to get this you need to get that why you cant have this like that girl over there"
I'm glad I met him.
"So we aint goin' to dance. fine.. go on tell me when Rafe lost an arm or yeah when he broke his leg when he nearly lost a finger and he nearly got killed on the plane and.."
"stop already!" said Danny laughing I took in a drink of juice.
"wanna take a drink?" said danny offering me a beer or what looked like a beer bottle.
"sorry don't drink" I said smiling at him.
Hey the guys what 20 leave him to his social drinking but I'll stay away from that.
Danny cleared his throat and whispered.
"this isn't beer.take a drink if you don't believe me"
like if he knew what I was thinking.
I took a drink and it was..some type of soda drink! I blushed of embarrasment.
Danny tried hard not to laugh but then started to laugh real hard then cleared his throat.
'um.sorry.that wasn't funny."
Danny looked at the others as it went to a slow dance.
"Fine I'll take one dance but.. I won't like it.."
he said looking at me.
"why you wanna dance now I hate slow dances."
"that's why I wanna dance it for revenge" said Danny laughing again.
"ooooo I hate you.." Danny got close to me.
I felt my breath stop for a moment
"I hate you too now come on" he got up and held my hand going to the dance floor.
He squeezed it a bit and I trmebled.
I have never been this in love!
The butterflies in my stomach where killing me!
Evelyn and Rafe noticed.
"well maybe he isn't as shy as you think Rafe.."
"no. he's just not confident of himself. as for Lia he never seen her as a girl"
"oh my God. what do you mean?"
Rafe laughed. "that means he doesn't see her as a girl girl like you and your nurses more like a friend...the only girl he could trust in his life..."
"so he's in love with Lia" said Evelyn hoping Rafe would say yes so she can run and tell Lia.
"I wouldn't say that. but my lil Lia has been crushing on him since they met..use to play a game when they were about 5-7 years old"
"how sweet." Evelyn said already knowing.
"yeah when you see a 5 and 7 year old kissing it aint so cute. they use to play that we were soldiers and pilots and we will soon come back to her.it was all crazy.."
"sounds like they've known each other for years."
"now enough about them 2.no about us." Evelyn smiled and whsipered something in his ear.
"Danny you probably stepped on my foot like 5 times!" I said laughing on his shoulder.
Then we bumped head. "oowwww what are you a ram.."
"I said I had 2 left feet.."
"but we're dancing slowly.."
"Lia give me a break I'm only human.."
"with 2 left feet." I looked in Danny's eyes.
"so tommorow I'm planning to go flying with Rafe"
Danny looked at me for a moment and then turned away.
"um.what's wrong?"
Danny walked off.
"Danny."
I ran after him.
Danny went outside and stood there and kicked his foot.
I ran up to him.
"what's a matter. did I say something wrong because you can have Rafe as your partner if you want..you can tell me you know"
I said laughing a bit.
"it's..it's not that. hasn't Rafe told you?"
"what? Rafe tell me everything.."
"well not this." I walked up to him and then turned in front of him.
It was raning slightly
"then what is it Dan."
"Lia. rafe is leaving tommorow to the Eagle.." Danny was cut off when I shouted.
"the what?! I taught.he said.. But.what! The Eagle Squad."
I turned away. I was a great actress knowing this was coming but what hurt me was not receiving new that Rafe died cuz duh he survives is .what happens after.
"I don't know why he didn't tell you.but he was forced.."
"I taught he had a choice I talked with Doolittle." trying to add it in the scene.
"no now he's forced." I looked at danny and hugged him thinking it was the perfect time.
"How can he do this."
He felt so warm.
"you're going to leave him at the train station."
"Of course!" I said with a shine in my eyes.
"I'll have to respect him.he always wanted to be a great pilot. I just hope he comes back to see me become one as well."
"you have a big chance you know.to become.. a pilot.."
"you have no idea what I went through Danny to prove myself.."
not even knowing what I was saying.
"yeah you had to sneak in a plane.." said Danny laughing.
"and be Rafe's sister for the rest of my life" I said laughing.
"oh yeah that too" I yawned,
"I'm tired.."
"I'll walk you."
"Thanks.."
"wait!" said Danny in an excited matter and held her hand to the car.
"hop on.."
I got on the car and he drove her to the house.
"alright get off."
I jumped up without opening the car door.
Danny did the same.
"alright I got my uniform here." I looked confused like if I wasn't enough.
"yeah and."
"okay go inside your house."
"um okay???" she walked in confused.
":wait till I get changed. "
I started to blush and closed the glass door smiling.
"he's going to change.but into what" I sighed.
"what is he up to."
I turned to him without his shirt and turned back. 'woah."
I shriekd a bit from the excitement.
"I swear this guy is hott!"s I closed the other door and sat down.
Then I heard a knock. Iopened the first door and saw danny.
"um. danny?" okay I know you look real handsome in a uniform and all but.."
I taught he looked mad fine! Danny stood there still.she opened the glass door and he took off his military hat and put it in his chest.
"I promised I'll come back Lia.."
I widen her eyes and remebered that this was something from one of my Pearl harbor fan fics and whispered.
"you still remember that game danny?" playing along with my fan fic that I wrote except the girls name was Lizzy not Lia.
But who cares really.
Danny nodded and whispered.
"play along.."
I sighed. "dan you're crazy."
Danny took my hand and took me outside.
"but who are you?" I said acting like the way my character did.
But I can't keep this up. I remember that the charcter gets a kiss.
Hold on what am I saying. I should keep playing along.
"Daniel Walker. your lost love.remember I said I be back for you in 10-20 years.."
I looked at him. Inside of me I wish this wasn't just a remeberance of the little game that I guessed I played but I kept played along. This is so confusing but I was catching on at least.
"D---d-daniel. Danny!" I hugged him.
"I told you. I be back. look at you..you're so beautiful"
"how did you know I was here?"
"I went around the world asking for the beautifulest girl in the world.and it lead me here.."
I blushed bright red and kissed him.
We both kissed when the nurses were talking about their night.
"oh.my" said Barbara.
"did I miss something. "
Betty sighed. "how sweet."
Martha sighed.
"they really love each other.."
Evelyn smiled.
"and Rafe only said they were close friends.."
Barbra laughed. "watch this ladies.."
she cleared her throat.
"HEY YOU TWO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!"
I jumped up and Danny turned.
"woah.look like we got caught."
The nurses started to laugh hysterically.
I turned around blushing bright red and then hid my face in danny's shoulder.
Betty walked up to me which I picked up her head after a while.
"I think you two make the cutest couple.."
"uh huh..so what are you two doing here.."
I blushed. "playing a kid's game.."
Martha looked at them. "a kid game?"
Evelyn laughed remebering what rafe told her.
"hunny you expect me to believe you two were just acting."said Barbra tapping her shoe.
"cuz the kiss looked real to me.." said Betty sighing.
Martha smiled. "real passionate alright.."
"what have you been up to Lia" said Amy.
Amy hasn't change. She always said that when she thinks I'm up to soemthing.
Sam smiled. "woah Lia alright now." she said laughing.
Alyssa smiled. "oh shit you two go out?"
Evelyn then remebered.
"your brother rafe has been looking for you everywhere!"
Danny widened his eyes.
"oh shit.go get in the car I'll drive you bye ladies"
he said while hopping in the car.
"bye girls" I said while getting in the car.
The nurses waved. "bye Danny..bye Lia"
They all sighed. Barbra walked inside the house which where I was.
"come on ladies I don't know about you but I'm exsausted."
Next day.
"Lia fly up fly up!"
I closed my eyes and pulled back the control stick.
I went all the way up and turned it.
I was so scared I think I was going to die.
I kept whispering. "I'm going to die watch me I'm going to crash." I squealed a bit.
I never had been on a plane before.
I was breathing hard touching myself thinking over and over again.
"am I alive? I'm alive I'm alive no way"
"Very well done Lia now bring down and show me some low flying.."
I went straight and pulled down on the control stick and went straight with low flying.
"Very well.very well Lia. Ms.McCawley. I see a great future now you may return to the station..
I smiled sweetly. "thank you sir."
The guys where there waiting.
Rafe, Billy, Red, Joe and Anthony where there cherring.
I got off the plane and ran to Rafe hugging him.
"I did it rafe!" But the experssion on Rafe's face wasn't a smile.
"good for you sister but..I leave in an hour.."
I stood there by the rock crying my heart out.
The other nurses came to me.
"hey hey hey." said Evelyn.
"he's going to write to us don't worry.."
The weird thing I felt was why on earth was I crying.
I then notice I became more and more like Lia McCawley and Lia Funetes was gone.
Lia Fuentes was a girl who died in a car accident at the age of 14 who was in love with the a hottie named Josh Hartnett.
She never had a crush on noone else.
Her best friend were Amy Lisa Sam Bravlio and Ramon.
But their not there anymore.
Maybe they are but in the future and now I'm Lia McCawley and I decided now that I'm going to be here and live her life. I turned to the nurses and said.
"he's going to die...and I don't know if he's going to come back.."
"you sleep more than my neighbor's cat!"
I opened my eyes and I saw.. "Josh Hartnett!!"
I fell back on a bed that I was sleeping in.
He looked at me strangely laughing going on the bed looking at me on the floor.
" are you okay? And who's Josh Hartnett??"
I stood there speechless. "y-y-y-you!"
He smiled. "do you have crush on a guy I should know?"
"hey Danny!" Then I saw the guy that look like Ben Affleck.
I shook my head. "I must dreaming.yeah that's it dreaming.."
"hey Lia you alright?" said Ben.
"um.you're.you're Ben right?"
Ben laughed.
"are you into dream land again. no"
he said real slow like if I was mental. "I-----am------Rafe----- McCawley
I made a face at him then I realized this was like in the movie Pearl Harbor.
"odd." I looked at Josh.
He was so handsome and seem to be real happy.
"Danny...Walker.."
"hey you remebered me!" said Danny acting and laughing at the same time.
I got up. I saw myself in a military uniform. "odd."
Danny laughed. "is odd all you can say.. now come on.. we gotta see how Red is at the hospital that burn looked bad" he ran off.
"Rafe looked at me and sat down. 'you okay Lia. you know I've always been like a brother to you.."
I looked at him and smiled. "no.it's okay. I was.lost for a moment.."
Rafe smiled. "okay.." he got up and left.
I followed not knowing where else to go.
"Danny" walked by my side. I felt my heart beating real hard on my chest. He smiled.
"alright there we are" he ran up ahead like some type of little kidergarten kid going to the park.
I ran after him and walked in when I saw.
"samantha??!!!"
Samantha looked at me and smirked.
"yeah that's me Lia. Woah you look sick you okay?"
I just smiled. "oh I'm perfectly fine.never been better really.."
Even though I knew I was right next to the one person I only wish to at least sign my auto graph book was now part of my life
.no a glimpse I guess because this wasn't real. but hey enjoy it while I can is all I can say.
Amy then came to the scene.
"amy!!" I wanted to shout and hug her.
Then I saw Red. He had a harsh burn on him and my friend Lisa was smoothing his back with cream to make it better.
She then took a tray and dropped it when she saw Rafe.
"oh hi." she said and dropped to the floor to pick up the things she dropped.
Now to describe my friends Amy was a girl with brown hair which was neither wavy or curly. It was right there in the middle. Her eyes are brown but now she was a blonde! It was her just with blonde hair. She ahd always told me it was her natural hair color and then after it changed but .wow.
Then I saw Samantha. She was the same with her dark blonde hair and her green eyes.
But now Alyssa was another one who changed. Her hair was red! Her hair was just like my sister. Blondish brown but now red. She didn't look bad but she seem to stammer a bit next to Rafe and her cheeks turned all pink.
I looked around.
"wow. I never taught I would end up here.."
I turned to Danny again but for some reason couldn't galnce at him then
Sam looked at her.
"what's a matter can't handle looking at your boyfriend?"
My heart lept. "boyfriend???!! This handsome pilot was my boy friend.."
I looked at Red. "mmmmmmwhat a matter.." He started to stammer the usual. "mmmmmmforgot your.mmmm..life for a moment?"
I looked at Danny he seem to be blushing with his face turned then he looked at sam and starts pointing in a boyish way like to run off after what he gotta say.
"for the last time she aint my girl.." he ran off.
Sam,Lisa, and Amy started to laugh. Rafe chuckled a bit and I was dead red.
Red smiled. "mmmmmmmmmm are you going to the mmmmdance Rafe"
Rafe smiled and sighed. "yeah..." he seem to be day dreaming and the girl started to giggle.
Rafe then cleared his throat.
"well see you later girls at the dance."
I stood there looking at Red and Alyssa.
"alright fly boy you can go off now." Red smiled.
"mmmmm thanks..mmmmm.Nurse"
Lisa winked. "call me Lisa.." I ran up to them.
Samantha looked at me while getting her siccors and medicnes in a tray .
"well are you all going to the dance"
"I am" said Amy excitedly.
"girl I came here to do..well do a country a good sevice" Lisa laughed.
Sam looked at her as if saying "uh huh" and then said.
"yeah right you know you came here to see about a million men in their underwear"
I started to laugh with Sam while Amy turned bright red.
Amy then breath in and then out. Then she smiled real happy.
"that's why we are here to serve.."
The girls started to giggle and laugh again. I smiled. My friend where so much older. They were about 17-20 years of age.
"don't mind me asking but how old are you girls again" Amy smiled.
"I'm 20.."
Sam smiled. "19" Lisa who was washing her hand in the sink.
"18. and if you want to know your age it's 17" she said teasing.
The girls laughed. "wow Lia you act like if you lost your memory.."
I only smiled hesitating a bit. "no. I'm just pretty um..sick.."
A young sailor came in by the name of Dorie Miller but that was not Dorie Miller. To me that was the guy from Snow dogs but I notice the girls started to giggle behind me.
"wow..he's handsome.." said Amy
"yeah .. I'm going..to treat him first" said Lisa getting ahead of the other nurses.
Sam smiled. "wow... and to think he's a sailor"
Well "dorie" put his hat on his chest and then spoke. "good morning ma'am. "
Lisa was blushing. "how may I help you?"
"well I got a bit of a cut.right there and.."
"okay just sit down.." said lisa flirting a bit.
Then came the other nurses. Evelyn, Barbara, Sandra Betty, and Martha.
"hello sweet heart wats a matter" said Evelyn smiling at me.
I smiled. "oh nothing.. I'm a bit um.not myself today.."
Betty was running ahead and sitsd down. "okay we're going to the dance today."
she said laughing hesitaing a bit. "we need to look our best.."
"honey we're going to be more than gorgeous we're going to leave those pilot like a bunch of dogs wanting their little treat.." Barbara laughed as she said this.
The nurses started to gigile.
I sat down listening to them. Martha took out a small mirror applying make up on.
"well we were here to meet guys weren't we?" she smiled at herself in the small mirro and put it away.
"alright girls we're going shopping for our clothes okay."
Sandra looked at me.
"and especially find some clothes for our little Lia"
I smiled a bit uncomfortable.
"yeah honey how do you expect for Danny to notice you if you're always there like if you were one of them."
Amy laughed.
"she is one of them.."
Sam sat down.
"you know what she mean.."
"uh huh" said Martha.
"you know what this means girls!"
Betty laughed.
" oh I know."
The girls shouted. "MAKE OVER!!!"
If there was one thing I hated was make up.. Icky disgusting make up.
"oh come on" said Evelyn in her sweet voice.
"come here after like an hour before the dance okay?"
I immeditely agreed just to get out of there and ran off.
Lisa was smiling and still flirting with Dorie and from the looks of it. He seem intrested.
But I coludn't say more because I kept running.
I ran all the way to the place where the guys were at.
"you are one good looking son of a bitch.don't ever change"
one of them said laughing looking at himslef in the mirror.
Then I tried to remember who he was put it didn't come to me. Was he Billy? Anthony? Joe? Or Tony?
I always use to think besides Danny was the next cute one but it didn't come to me his name. "yeah you're real good looking I'm practically meltin' for ya" I said.
Something I always wanted to tell him when I saw this movie.
"girl you know you love me.. you just don't want to accept that the hottest man alive is before you" he did a little dance before me.
"no I see the most conceited man before me" I said laughing pushing him back
One of them passed their comb through their hair and did a clicking sound. I think it was Joe but I can't seem to remember noone here.
"don't worry bout Lia here we bout to go with nurses.good lookin' nurses"
I walked off to get something while I heard one of them say.
"you trying to say Lia is ugly. Lia is hott!" he started to whistle real loud.
I laughed a bit. I'm suddenly attracted to these guys here and back in junior high school I was only "average"
"yeah but we aint good enough for Lia anyways."
Then I saw that this guy kept acting like he's extremley handsome and said.
"muah don't you eva die"
"hey we gotta take it all in this one night"
"dying that's precisely what we're suppose to be thinking.tell 'em "
"talking about the last night and dying look what I got here" he showed a small bottle.
"okay you put a bit under your eyes..let it sting a bit and then take a breath in and say"
by then the guy's eyes were watery.
"baby their preparing us for war. I just hope that everything we got to do we'll do it tonight"
"wow that was deep" I said trying hard not to laugh. "I just hope they buy it . I sure wouldn't"
They kept talking and chatting. As I walked outside with a bag on my hand which is suppose to be the dress I'm suppose to wear, I looked at Rafe and Danny.
I ran and hide behind a car they were next to listening to their conversation. .
"I suggest you not to go Rafe. it's not safe"
"hey okay listen you take care of my sister Lia think she rather have you there then me" he said punching his arm.
"sister?" I taught to myself. I aint Rafe's sister..since when?"
Danny blushed and then looked at him. "It's the most dangerous place you can go. look at us. We wear the same uniforms. if they need me.. I'll go but why go to trouble if it doesn't want me."
"Cuz I'm old now look at me I'm 25! I might as well teach these kids how to fly. I don't wanna do that I want to fight!"
"Yeah and when they have no surviovors they'll just get more people and might break ya down like they did to my dad when he fought the Germans.. and what about your sister. she cares for you.
Although she never said "brother to you.that would be because you adopted her.but"
I smiled. I understood. I was adopted. Cute but yet I was more confused my the moment.
"Lia could take care of herself. Lia's a big girl now"
"Lia's only 17! How can you ex-"
They were interrupted when Red shouted.
"Hey come on nurses don't mmmmm dance my themzleves"
"come on let's go.." I passed by them.
"where the hell is Lia heading to.." said Rafe.
"somewhere" said danny.
"I'll get her you guys keep goin' we'll catch up"
I stood there near by the beach. It was so nice as it crashed.
I really didn't feel like going to the dance. I just kept thinking is this for real? I didn't know what to do. But then I looked on thr bright side. Danny was here! I blushed real red but then I jumped up when I heard his voice.
"hey there little lady don't wanna go to the dance or something?"
"it's not that" I said laughing holding it to myself I could never imagine Josh Hartnett saying "little lady" as the wind of the beach started to hit me gently.
Danny walked beside me putting his hand in his pocket and smiled looking at the ocean.
My heart was beating so hard. How can I a 14 year old girl be crushing on this actor who doesn't know I exist and suddenly I'm 17 and it was amazing but then he asked.
"so what is it?"
Out of nowhere I said. "If I'll be able to prove that I'm good enough to actually be a female soilder"
Danny hugged me and looked at me in the eye.
His eyes were gorgeous. I couldn't help it. I think I trembled.
"you will.I'll be there to assit you in anyway.."
I picked up her foot backwards (also known as "popping" your foot) and looked at Danny's eyes. It was like I was going through a romantic scene.
I didn't want this to end but then Danny turned away and looked when.
"I forgot the dance! Come on get in the car we'll have to drive there.."
he jumped up surprised like alittle kid and hopped in the car I nodded and ran with him and hopped into the car and started to ride there.
We were by the train where I saw the nurses coming.
I then saw Evelyn as she ran to Rafe and hugged him.
I sighed in a lovey way to see my "brother" after a while I found out that Rafe adopted me. and his true love that for some reason I remember he's been bugging me and telling me about Evelyn for 2 weeks in half stairght.
They started to introduce themselves.
"alright meet my friends Barbara, Sandra Betty, and Martha, Amy, Lisa and Samantha"
Rafe pulled me to the front.I made a face and then smiled sweetly.
"Meet my sister her name is .." I cleared my throat before he said my real name.
Rafe smiled and smriked slightly and then said "but we all call her Lia."
Evelyn smiled.
'she beautiful.. hi I'm Evelyn" she said shaking my hand.
Evelyn winked knowing already who I was but didn't want to blow up Rafe's spot.
I decided to bug Rafe and then said
"so you're the girl who's going to be my future sis-oww."
Rafe had stepped on my foot.
Betty went up to Rafe shaking his hand.
"hi.. I'm betty. would you happen to have any friends.."
Rafe laughed and showed him the crowd of boys behind him.
"take your pick.."
I noticed Danny was looking up like he didn't want to be there either. I only looked at him for a moment and smiled real quick and then kept looking up like if hoping Betty not to notice him. The other guys seem to make googly faces. Betty sighed." Um.hi.."
There was dancing and a loud sound of the trumpet with a guy scatting on the microphone. The group there laughed and dirinking their drinks and eating their food.
I stood close to Danny since most of them had become a couple or are with someone they really like.
He pretend to be screaming as he saw me with make up which the nurses put on me on the last mintue (it was only lipstick) and the dress I had on.
One thing was bugging me. It was short. Hey the color black aint so bad but the heels where killing me and the dress was..too short that's it. Just too short..
"the horror!!aahhhhh"
"shut up danny!" I said annoyed after a while.
"it's just too much for me to bear.."
"it's only lipstick okay Danny.no eyeliner no blush no nothing just stupid makeup on my lips.."
"but still.ahhhhhhh horror scary." he pretend to shiver.
He looked at the dress. "you in a dress!! It's the end of the world.."
I hit him on the back of his head. "shut up!!!"
I said a bit whining wishing I never came.
Danny laughed. "I'm playing..alright alright sorry." he smiled and looked at me in the eye.
"sorry I taught you can take a joke." I looked at him and smiled and tickled him a bit to back myself up.
"ha!!! Got you!!"
He laughed like alittle kid which I adored and then I stop and he took a breath in and then out really loudly.
Then suddenly since he didn't ask me I had to ask him.
"Danny want to dance?" I said.
Danny shook his head.
"naw. you go off and see you can dance with one of the guys"
"oh come on Danny" I said already taking his hand and pulling him.
I really wanted to dance with him.
Forget the other guys. They are cute but I wanted to dance with Danny.
Hey how many girls get this opportunityin life.
The chances are 1 to infinity which the 1 was in my case.
Danny shook his head again.
"no. I can't dance. I got 2 left feet.there"
"Danny stop been a wimp and get up!"
Danny laughed.
"no now come on I don't want to dance"
I smiled and laughed and then sat down.
"fine I'll sit.enetertain me with your boring life which I know already the whole thing"
"you are an evil little girl.." I smiled sweetly and talked inncoently.
"I am??? I never noticed.."
Danny started to blush. "I really hate when you smile like that"
"why?"
"cuz it's the only think that makes me weak..oooo" he smiled.
My heart took a leap.
Noone had ever commented on the good things about me but mostly he likes my smile!
The boys now in the year 2003 try to say every little bad think about you.
"oh you got a pimple oh look you need to get this you need to get that why you cant have this like that girl over there"
I'm glad I met him.
"So we aint goin' to dance. fine.. go on tell me when Rafe lost an arm or yeah when he broke his leg when he nearly lost a finger and he nearly got killed on the plane and.."
"stop already!" said Danny laughing I took in a drink of juice.
"wanna take a drink?" said danny offering me a beer or what looked like a beer bottle.
"sorry don't drink" I said smiling at him.
Hey the guys what 20 leave him to his social drinking but I'll stay away from that.
Danny cleared his throat and whispered.
"this isn't beer.take a drink if you don't believe me"
like if he knew what I was thinking.
I took a drink and it was..some type of soda drink! I blushed of embarrasment.
Danny tried hard not to laugh but then started to laugh real hard then cleared his throat.
'um.sorry.that wasn't funny."
Danny looked at the others as it went to a slow dance.
"Fine I'll take one dance but.. I won't like it.."
he said looking at me.
"why you wanna dance now I hate slow dances."
"that's why I wanna dance it for revenge" said Danny laughing again.
"ooooo I hate you.." Danny got close to me.
I felt my breath stop for a moment
"I hate you too now come on" he got up and held my hand going to the dance floor.
He squeezed it a bit and I trmebled.
I have never been this in love!
The butterflies in my stomach where killing me!
Evelyn and Rafe noticed.
"well maybe he isn't as shy as you think Rafe.."
"no. he's just not confident of himself. as for Lia he never seen her as a girl"
"oh my God. what do you mean?"
Rafe laughed. "that means he doesn't see her as a girl girl like you and your nurses more like a friend...the only girl he could trust in his life..."
"so he's in love with Lia" said Evelyn hoping Rafe would say yes so she can run and tell Lia.
"I wouldn't say that. but my lil Lia has been crushing on him since they met..use to play a game when they were about 5-7 years old"
"how sweet." Evelyn said already knowing.
"yeah when you see a 5 and 7 year old kissing it aint so cute. they use to play that we were soldiers and pilots and we will soon come back to her.it was all crazy.."
"sounds like they've known each other for years."
"now enough about them 2.no about us." Evelyn smiled and whsipered something in his ear.
"Danny you probably stepped on my foot like 5 times!" I said laughing on his shoulder.
Then we bumped head. "oowwww what are you a ram.."
"I said I had 2 left feet.."
"but we're dancing slowly.."
"Lia give me a break I'm only human.."
"with 2 left feet." I looked in Danny's eyes.
"so tommorow I'm planning to go flying with Rafe"
Danny looked at me for a moment and then turned away.
"um.what's wrong?"
Danny walked off.
"Danny."
I ran after him.
Danny went outside and stood there and kicked his foot.
I ran up to him.
"what's a matter. did I say something wrong because you can have Rafe as your partner if you want..you can tell me you know"
I said laughing a bit.
"it's..it's not that. hasn't Rafe told you?"
"what? Rafe tell me everything.."
"well not this." I walked up to him and then turned in front of him.
It was raning slightly
"then what is it Dan."
"Lia. rafe is leaving tommorow to the Eagle.." Danny was cut off when I shouted.
"the what?! I taught.he said.. But.what! The Eagle Squad."
I turned away. I was a great actress knowing this was coming but what hurt me was not receiving new that Rafe died cuz duh he survives is .what happens after.
"I don't know why he didn't tell you.but he was forced.."
"I taught he had a choice I talked with Doolittle." trying to add it in the scene.
"no now he's forced." I looked at danny and hugged him thinking it was the perfect time.
"How can he do this."
He felt so warm.
"you're going to leave him at the train station."
"Of course!" I said with a shine in my eyes.
"I'll have to respect him.he always wanted to be a great pilot. I just hope he comes back to see me become one as well."
"you have a big chance you know.to become.. a pilot.."
"you have no idea what I went through Danny to prove myself.."
not even knowing what I was saying.
"yeah you had to sneak in a plane.." said Danny laughing.
"and be Rafe's sister for the rest of my life" I said laughing.
"oh yeah that too" I yawned,
"I'm tired.."
"I'll walk you."
"Thanks.."
"wait!" said Danny in an excited matter and held her hand to the car.
"hop on.."
I got on the car and he drove her to the house.
"alright get off."
I jumped up without opening the car door.
Danny did the same.
"alright I got my uniform here." I looked confused like if I wasn't enough.
"yeah and."
"okay go inside your house."
"um okay???" she walked in confused.
":wait till I get changed. "
I started to blush and closed the glass door smiling.
"he's going to change.but into what" I sighed.
"what is he up to."
I turned to him without his shirt and turned back. 'woah."
I shriekd a bit from the excitement.
"I swear this guy is hott!"s I closed the other door and sat down.
Then I heard a knock. Iopened the first door and saw danny.
"um. danny?" okay I know you look real handsome in a uniform and all but.."
I taught he looked mad fine! Danny stood there still.she opened the glass door and he took off his military hat and put it in his chest.
"I promised I'll come back Lia.."
I widen her eyes and remebered that this was something from one of my Pearl harbor fan fics and whispered.
"you still remember that game danny?" playing along with my fan fic that I wrote except the girls name was Lizzy not Lia.
But who cares really.
Danny nodded and whispered.
"play along.."
I sighed. "dan you're crazy."
Danny took my hand and took me outside.
"but who are you?" I said acting like the way my character did.
But I can't keep this up. I remember that the charcter gets a kiss.
Hold on what am I saying. I should keep playing along.
"Daniel Walker. your lost love.remember I said I be back for you in 10-20 years.."
I looked at him. Inside of me I wish this wasn't just a remeberance of the little game that I guessed I played but I kept played along. This is so confusing but I was catching on at least.
"D---d-daniel. Danny!" I hugged him.
"I told you. I be back. look at you..you're so beautiful"
"how did you know I was here?"
"I went around the world asking for the beautifulest girl in the world.and it lead me here.."
I blushed bright red and kissed him.
We both kissed when the nurses were talking about their night.
"oh.my" said Barbara.
"did I miss something. "
Betty sighed. "how sweet."
Martha sighed.
"they really love each other.."
Evelyn smiled.
"and Rafe only said they were close friends.."
Barbra laughed. "watch this ladies.."
she cleared her throat.
"HEY YOU TWO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!"
I jumped up and Danny turned.
"woah.look like we got caught."
The nurses started to laugh hysterically.
I turned around blushing bright red and then hid my face in danny's shoulder.
Betty walked up to me which I picked up her head after a while.
"I think you two make the cutest couple.."
"uh huh..so what are you two doing here.."
I blushed. "playing a kid's game.."
Martha looked at them. "a kid game?"
Evelyn laughed remebering what rafe told her.
"hunny you expect me to believe you two were just acting."said Barbra tapping her shoe.
"cuz the kiss looked real to me.." said Betty sighing.
Martha smiled. "real passionate alright.."
"what have you been up to Lia" said Amy.
Amy hasn't change. She always said that when she thinks I'm up to soemthing.
Sam smiled. "woah Lia alright now." she said laughing.
Alyssa smiled. "oh shit you two go out?"
Evelyn then remebered.
"your brother rafe has been looking for you everywhere!"
Danny widened his eyes.
"oh shit.go get in the car I'll drive you bye ladies"
he said while hopping in the car.
"bye girls" I said while getting in the car.
The nurses waved. "bye Danny..bye Lia"
They all sighed. Barbra walked inside the house which where I was.
"come on ladies I don't know about you but I'm exsausted."
Next day.
"Lia fly up fly up!"
I closed my eyes and pulled back the control stick.
I went all the way up and turned it.
I was so scared I think I was going to die.
I kept whispering. "I'm going to die watch me I'm going to crash." I squealed a bit.
I never had been on a plane before.
I was breathing hard touching myself thinking over and over again.
"am I alive? I'm alive I'm alive no way"
"Very well done Lia now bring down and show me some low flying.."
I went straight and pulled down on the control stick and went straight with low flying.
"Very well.very well Lia. Ms.McCawley. I see a great future now you may return to the station..
I smiled sweetly. "thank you sir."
The guys where there waiting.
Rafe, Billy, Red, Joe and Anthony where there cherring.
I got off the plane and ran to Rafe hugging him.
"I did it rafe!" But the experssion on Rafe's face wasn't a smile.
"good for you sister but..I leave in an hour.."
I stood there by the rock crying my heart out.
The other nurses came to me.
"hey hey hey." said Evelyn.
"he's going to write to us don't worry.."
The weird thing I felt was why on earth was I crying.
I then notice I became more and more like Lia McCawley and Lia Funetes was gone.
Lia Fuentes was a girl who died in a car accident at the age of 14 who was in love with the a hottie named Josh Hartnett.
She never had a crush on noone else.
Her best friend were Amy Lisa Sam Bravlio and Ramon.
But their not there anymore.
Maybe they are but in the future and now I'm Lia McCawley and I decided now that I'm going to be here and live her life. I turned to the nurses and said.
"he's going to die...and I don't know if he's going to come back.."
