END FLASHBACK

"Wow, Ma, I never realized how much you faught with Uncle Rafe." Said Jillian.

"Well, most of the time he started it," Grace laughed.

"And your mother always blamed it on him," Danny said.

"So, you've told us how you fell in love, but you haven't said what happened in Hawaii yet." said

Megan.

"Well, I'm getting to that, Megan! Hold your horses! Where was I? Oh, yes. Hawaii. Thats the

best part of this story..."

FLASHBACK

"Can you believe it, Ev? We're in HAWAII! I can't wait until we get off the boat!" Betty

squealed with excitement.

"I know...I can't wait either..." Evelyn muttered, trying to sound happy, but how could she be

happy when the one thing that made her happy was in England? She would just have to make

the best of it.

"Oh! Betty, who did you end up sleeping...I MEAN staying with at the hotel?" Grace winked at her.

Betty turned bright red. "Well, doesn't my blushing help you any?" She asked.

Grace just stared at her confused. All she could put together was that she was beat red...Red!

"Oh my god, Betty!" she screamed and all attention was on her. She gave a nervous laugh

before looking at Betty and the two burst out in laughter.

"You know the ratio of men to women on this island?" Martha asked when we were off the

boat. "four thousand...to one!"

"Four thousand! I guess you would have to say it's in our favor!" laughed Sandra.

"See you on the beach boys!" Barbara yelled.

Once the flyboys were off the boat they walked to their base. They saw a couple of men

working on planes. Or drawing on them rather.

"Hey! you know you're not supposed to be painting titties on the side of my airplanes, and if you

do, don't make 'em lop-sided." Earl said.

"They we're lop-sided, Earl!" Gooz answered back. The men noticed all the new recruits and

walked over to them.

"Y'all pilots?" Danny questioned.

"Well, were workin' on it, but there's a lot of switches and stuff." Said Gooz sarcastically. "Pride

of the pacific. You?"

"Terriors of the skies" Danny replied and all of them went inside.

Meanwhile, the nurses were being showed around their new home, sweet, home. Some decided

to take the tour, but Betty and Grace stayed behind.

The two girls had become very close over the past 2 days. They were pretty much inseperable.

"So what is Danny planning for your birthday? A candle lit dinner for two? A big party with all

the pilots and nurses? What?" Betty asked grasping on to Grace's hands as the two sat on one

of the beds.

"I'm not sure yet, but whatever it is it'll be great." Grace smiled. This was her 18th birthday. She

was finally able to be here in Rafe's eyes. Not that she felt guilty that he didn't approve of her

being there a head of schedule. She just loved Rafe that much to understand how he felt in that

situation. They were more than brother and sister, they were friends. They trusted each other as

siblings and as friends and nobody would ever break that bond. Not while they were living.

"I want it to be a party where I can be there, but if he wants to seduce you then I'm not going to

get in the way. I'll just throw you a party a few days later!" Betty decided, already making plans

for this party in her mind.

"Well, that would be lovely. I hope that it's a private party between Danny and myself. We

never have alone time anymore and this would be a good chance to. That, and I'll be having two

parties!" Grace joked. The two girls sat and chatted like old friends. They learned everything

friends should know about each other and even things no one should know. All in all, the two

could tell this would be a friendship that would never end...
