Good-day sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are
You don't know me but I know you
You're my favorite star
Follow you I will so lets get moving
Who needs shelter when the mornings coming?
Absolutely there's no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no. not anyone.

Dean's POV
I wake up to the bright sun in my eyes. Right then I feel how uncomfortable I am, lying in dry grass. Julie is nestled with her head on my chest next to me. Little tip, never, never sleep on the ground ever. My leather jacket is draped over both of us but it is around 85 degrees out anyway. I get up and shake Julie awake.
"Oh god, don't tell me we fell asleep here." I stand up slowly and stretch.
"I guess so. C'mon lets get back to camp. They're probably worried about us." I say pulling her to her feet. We start walking back the way we came. We reached camp and the only one awake was Jan who didn't even notice us while he was cooking hasenpfeffer and eggs. Julie quickly snuck into the tent her and Connie were sharing. I went to the one Fulton and I had been sharing. He is dead asleep so I just lie down on my own sleeping bag. Everything that happened last night is still running through my head. Maybe I was being a bit of a, what's the word Julie used, delusional asshole. Just blurting out that I wasn't right for her may have not been the nicest thing to do, but then she did say I was practically raping her so it all evened out. Then I finally told her what is really going on, how I'm probably never gonna see her again and even if I do it won't be the same. She promised me that she would always care about me the way she does now. Fulton snores extremely loudly. It would be all too easy for me to blame this on Fulton, for putting the idea in my head, but it isn't his fault at all, it is just the way it is. And the idea was already in my head so I just acted on it. But I think we're going to treasure the time we have left which is, exactly 5 hours since she has a 12 o'clock flight. I'm just trying really hard not be so bummed out about the whole situation. She's going to find an amazing guy: rich, possibly blonde, with a Ferrari and mansion. Wow Adam's face just flashed in my mind. Yeah a guy like Adam or something along those lines. And it'll drive me nuts thinking about her with someone else but I guess I'll have to do it. At least that's what we decided together, because long distance relationships suck, we'll keep in touch as much as possible or something. I'm gonna miss her way too much just because she is literally my conscience and she keeps me in my head. She, what's the word, inspires me. That's not really the relationship I usually have with girls. Actually most of the time it's purely physical and hearing girls bitch about their hair and nails bores the living hell out of me. But Julie is nothing like that, all we've done is kiss plus she plays hockey and gets me. Just as my eyes start to close I hear a loud annoying duck whistle outside.
"Everybody up! Breakfast! Now! Hustle, let's go!" Fulton wakes up and looks over at me drearily.
"Where'd you disappear to?"
"Nowhere." I say heading out of the tent and into the cool morning air. I sit at down at the same place around the fire and gladly take the eggs Jan handed me. After ten more minutes of the whistle everyone is seated around the fire. Julie is next to me, between me and Fulton. We all knew what was coming and we'd all rather avoid it. Bombay stood up and pulled a paper out of his pocket.
"Okay, Team. It is now 7:45. The first one of us to have a flight out of here is Ken at 9:30. So we have to get packed up and to the airport by nine. Luis your flight is at 10:15 then Dwayne is at 11:00. Julie you're at 12:00. Averman, Adam, Charlie, Guy, Golburg, Connie, Fulton and Jesse all of you have a 12:30 flight to Minneapolis with me. Dean you have a 6:00 flight but Miss MacKay will stay with you because her flight is at 6:30. Russ what time are you heading home?" Lucky Russ only had a twenty minute drive home from the airport.
"My Dad said he'd pick me up at three."
"Okay. You know the plan. Pack up the tents and let's get the hell outta here." That set everyone in frenzy, running around. Packing up tents, picking up trash that we had strewn all over the campsite, putting suitcases on the bus that was transporting us. But since everyone knew this was goodbye we were all very silent and depressed about it. Even Averman was quiet; I didn't think that was possible. A weird calm was over us. Not necessarily the Minnesota Ducks who all live within 20 minutes of each other, but the rest of us. Once everything we loaded on the bus and the campsite looked somewhat clean we all boarded. I sat in the first seat behind the driver. Julie sat down next to me, Connie and Guy in the seat next to ours. I hate admitting it but I'm so jealous of them. They've been together practically since they were born and they were going on the same flight to the same city. Nothing is ever easy like that for me. That's why this Team U.S.A. thing was pretty much a miracle for me. If not then I'd still be in Chicago playing for Morgan Park, which if you wanted to give it a name, a team full of juvenile delinquents. Not that I was really one of them but I was labeled as one just because I played with them. Growing up pretty much fatherless, unless you want my biological father who died when I was seven. I barely knew him because he was always drunk and out of it. That's why it bothered me that I look almost exactly like him. Believe it or not, I am the biggest 'momma's boy' that you could ever meet. That'll be the only good part about going home, my mother. The bus stopping in front of the busy airport arrival deck brings me back to the present. I follow Julie off the bus and into the air-conditioned building. All of us checked our bags to our flights respectively. When Ken's flight was called we all said goodbye, the girls hugging him and kissing his cheek. Luis was the same way followed by Dwayne forty-five minutes later. After Dwayne left I started to get antsy because I knew Julie was next. We sat in the uncomfortable airport chairs in front of her gate. She was silent, I knew she was thinking about something. Her hand was clutched in mine tightly and we sat in silence.
"Flight 209 to Bangor, Maine is now boarding. All those with tickets please line up at the gate. Flight 209 to Bangor, Maine." Julie nearly jumped out of her seat. She stood up and smiled sadly at me. I stood up and took both her hands in mine.
"So I guess this is it, then."
"Yeah." I say softly.
Where you are seems to be as far as an eternity. Outstretched arms open hearts and if it never ends then when do we start?
She leans in and kisses me passionately. I never want to let go.
End POV

Julie's POV
When I finally pull away from him I know there are tears in my eyes. I hold back from crying and hug the remainder of the team. I say goodbye to Coach Bombay and Miss MacKay, still choking back tears. Last but not least is Connie who is no longer holding anything back so tears are running down her face. That just plain breaks me down and I cry too. When we both calm down enough to leave I turn around to hug and kiss Dean one last time. From somewhere behind me I hear a clicking noise.
I'll never leave you behind or treat you unkind. I know you understand and with a tear in my eye give me the sweetest goodbye that I ever did receive.
"Last call for Flight 209 to Bangor. All ticket holders proceed to the gate."
"Bye." I say to everyone. I start walking towards the gate with my ticket in hand.
"Julie wait!" I hear Connie's voice from behind me. She runs over to me and hands me my camera. "You almost forgot this." She smiles sadly. "Bye." And in a flash of long brown hair she is gone. I see Dean standing with the rest of the team staring at me. It's almost impossible to make my feet move.
Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback
I have some things to say
I walk to the gate and hand the attendant my ticket. She smiles happily.
"Thank you, Miss Gaffney. Have a nice flight."
How does it feel to know you never have to be alone when you get home? There must be someplace here that only you and I could go so I can show you how I feel…
I find my seat in the front the plane and sit down next to the window. I brush the tears away from my face and look at the camera in my hands. There is only picture left. I could've sworn I still had a few more on this roll of film.
Dream away everyday, try so hard to disregard the rhythm of the rain that drops and coincides with the beating of my heart.
After take off I immediately fall asleep for the remainder of the 5½ hour flight

((Disclaimer: The song in the beginning in italics is Who Need's Shelter by Jason Mraz. Its up there cause it was stuck in my head all day yesterday and it seemed appropriate for the scene. The chapter title as well as the italics in the airport scene is from Sweetest Goodbye by Maroon 5 and it fit perfectly for Julie and Dean. It's a little short but I needed to wrap up the campout scene. Next chapter Julie goes home and meets her family and maybe Dean will too, I haven't decided yet. I might not be able to post for awhile, at least not before Tuesday.Please give me plenty of feedback and inspiration. Reviews, good or bad are always appreciated. Oh and I have absolutely no idea what hasenpfeffer is. It is translated "rabbit pepper" in German but Jan says it to Gordon and Charlie in the beginning of D2. x0x0, elyse))
