(smack) "Smithe? Are you alright?" "Ryou, we have to go." Ryou bumped into the tear-eyed girl. "Go where?" "We have to go immediately to the heart of the war." "What? But we haven't known each other for that long." "I'm sorry Ryou but I have to go whenever they need me. I do want you to know I really had a big crush on you." Smithe said then ran off to find the other pilots leaving Ryou dumbfounded. "Rebecca." He whispered.
During at the time at the boiler room-
"Okay you have to inspect every one's job to see if they're doing everything right." Joey said next to Yugi walking down the stairs. "Once they got there the Platoon commanders said "Platoon, Parade Rest!" While they were looking everything over till-. "Woo hoo! We're done!" A familiar voice rang out through the silence. The Platoon Commander turned his head and saw two females. "Bebe get over here and do push-up's till I get tired.
"I don't think that's necessary." (changed places) "Hessemeo stay out of it." Yami hissed under his breath. "She needed to finish the job first." "Laura." He growled some more but all he got was a smile from her. "What?" She asked innocently. "Come on." He said really irritated that he pulled her up the stairs. "But sir, you have to finish the inspection." "You know what to do Wheeler." He yelled. "Sorry about that, you don't need to do the push-ups but let me see your work." He said to her.
Back where the antennas are 110011:00-
"Alright what was that all about?" He asked as calm he can be. "What was what?" "If someone tells you something you do it. Wheeler right now is doing my job while I'm yelling at you!" "You don't need to yell at me." She said calmly. "I have to, to tell you that in your thick head of yours." "I don't but you do." "What do you mean by that and why were you down there in the first place?"
He growled. "Joule Bebe has one of the hardest jobs there is in the Navy and trust me when we were younger she didn't seem the type to go into the Navy and get the hardest job there is. So I bumped into her and I found out where she worked and I wanted to help her before you came down and sorry about that I didn't want her get into trouble and you to find out." She said turning to the rail and faced out to the ocean and in the distance was land but you can barely see it.
"Alright I'll except that but next time don't go down there without my permission. I don't want people to go down there for no reason." He said calmly going to the rail and starred faraway with her as their eye can see. "Sorry I didn't know this was a sanctuary." "Is that all you do? Criticize if something doesn't go your way?" (giggle) "Well what do you want me to be? Become Miss Girlie Girl?" "No."(giggle) "Then what then?"
"Sorry but he doesn't want to be disturbed right now." Tristan said to a black and red high light haired natural and brown-eyed girl. "Sorry Taylor but I must speak to Captain Motou to find out where Chief Hessemeo is right away." The voice of Raslene and Tristan broke the conversation before Motou spoke to answer Hessemeo's question. Taylor tried to block Shaffer's way to the Captain. "What do you need Shaffer?" Hessemeo snapped at the two. 'Man she must be mad because she doesn't use last names unless she's in a bad mood, nervous, or we just did something that wasn't supposed to be wrecked.' Raslene said in her mind. "Smithe wants to see you right away it's urgent and she seems upset."
"What now?" She said before going out the door. "I'll see you at lunch Captain Motou." She said quietly so no one can hear except for him. Just being playful she bumped into him. When she got near the door Tristan moved out of the way so she wouldn't bump him. "Come on let's see what she wants." She said getting agitated.
Once they left Tristan moved to where Yugi was onto the bar and leaned. "Why can't I get through that thick head of hers?" "She's tough man. One minute she can have you laughing till tears come out of your eyes then the next she can have you be shaking in your boots." After that Yugi got off of the railing and faced his friend. "I guess your right. Let's head back to our duties before someone deranks us." Both of them chuckled out the door to their duties.
1115 11:15 AM Pilots room-
"Smithe this better be worth it!" She exclaimed in an angry voice. When she looked up Becky and Andrea were both crying. "Oh Beckaroo now what's up? Huh why are you crying?" She asked taking the pilot in her arms and Becky cried into her shoulder. She cradled her and rocked her while humming. "If you tell me I'll tell you who my crush is."
"Really?" She lifted her head up and sniffled. "But first tell me. "Becky looked down in sadness and handed a folded up piece of paper from her pocket. Hessemeo took it and unfolded it and looked at very sternly.
Dear Bubble Gum Girl Pilots,
You are to leave immediately from the USS Lincoln. You must prepare for war in the middle of the dessert that is a big building like jail in the middle of that dessert. You can't miss it; it's in the enemy territory. We are sorry we can't give you the exact coordinates but we'll try to help as much as we can. Stay low, stay safe, and have fun.
Bowder
"Bowder I'm gonna kill you!" Laura yelled about to tear it to shreds. "Let's go pack up." Laura snarled at the crumbled piece of paper. "Now who do you like?" Becky said all better now and eyes sparkling filled with mischief. "Motou." She said flatly. "Laura were not supposed to fall in love." "Montgomery can you pack for me I have to see what the planes need." She said flatly again. "Yes, ma'am." Becky just watched her friend run out the door. "I think she already knows were not supposed to fall in love." Raslene said to Andrea and she nodded.
Flashback-
"I do hope you do know you five girls have been selected to our first Bubble Gum Pilot program?" "Yes." They all said in unison. ""Good so you do know the circumstances?"
"Yes." Bowder then took out a large packet and read it out loud. "The following selective pilots are: Meg Bowder, Raslene Shaffer, Andrea Montgomery, Rebecca Smithe, and Laura Hessemeo are now pilots that are owned by the government and no other. We are fully aware of our duties consist of and the following are: Respect anything that deals with other country and our own, follow orders of our superiors, we are stinctivly owned by the government, which means what, goes must go, we do not have freedom under the US government, we can no longer fall in love, get married, nor have children. We have to study non-stop of our studies and any work that consists of our duties."
Bowder then finished and all of the girls were silent next to her. She then gave Admiral Sam Trobowski the packet and the pilots themselves signed the doted lines underneath all of the pages. "Do you all agree with these terms?" He asked sternly. They all nodded in respect.
End flashback-
On deck-
Ready for your flight F-116?" Laura asked to patting her plane making sure everything is all right. Everyone was in a hurry around her making sure everything is going smoothly. For her her eyes were gazing into space.
Control room-
"We're getting close to the base so if we go 45 degrees north and 400 yards down to the west then we should be-." "Captain Motou are the weather antennas working properly up there?" Tea asked through the headphone set yelling to get his attention. "Yes, they are. Who's coming in and please don't yell." "Yes sir. They aren't coming in they're going out, sir." "What?" "Yes, the Bubble Gum Girl Pilots are flying out this afternoon." "Who?"
"Chief Hessemeo and her crew, sir." Yugi had the head set close to his ear after he heard crew he dropped it. "Excuse me gentlemen, you know the procedures, I got a plane to catch." He said that without turning around but when he finally did he ran out the door before any of them said anything.
Flight deck-
When he got there he saw the Navy saluting all around standing in a file. He then looked at the four planes all ready and set up to fly. He first saw Joey saluting and shaking hands with Raslene she then gave him a peck on the lips. Motou just shook his head and on the east side he saw the same thing with Montgomery and Taylor then North with Smithe and Bakura. When he finally looked South he saw Laura about to board her plane he looked to the side and saw Joule in formation and went up to her.
"What's that?" He asked eyeing her seeing something in her hand. "Bebe I told you to have nothing in your hand during formation now do-." "It's alright." He said giving the Chief Petty officer second class a glare to back off. "I heard you guys have been friends when you were little." "Not really but I do know she is going to be in a big mission right now. But this is a cross necklace I always had and I thought she would like it." She showed him a very fancy cross necklace in her hand. "So what are you waiting for go give it to her. You may fall out." He said she doubled time off when she finally got to her she was right in the middle of the steps to her plane. He saw the two hug and she gave her the necklace.
She then went back to formation and stand at attention.
He walked towards her and yelled out her name. "What now?" She asked a little aggravated that she got stopped again. "Sorry I just wanted you to know that it has been an honor to have you on board." "It has been an honor to see you again too Captain Motou." They shook hands and saluted to each other before she went up the stairs again they just kept starring into each other's eyes. "Well I hope to see you real soon Captain." She said then turned around and went up the stairs till-. (bang) A loud gunshot heard around the ship and a buzzard went off. When they heard that Yugi the shot he took his arms around her waist and threw her on the ground with him with her underneath him.
"Listen carefully, get out quickly while you still can and we'll hold them off as long as possible." Yami said to her in her ear. Feeling his hot breath and hearing a very masculine voice she didn't want to leave. "But-." "No buts just go." "Fine I will." She quickly went up the stairs not looking back.
Once her lid of the plane went down she put the headphones on and talked to the control tower. Once she put the headphones on she looked at everything that was going on. She saw everyone running everywhere to make sure everything was secured and saw many people coming out of the doors with weapons. She saw many formations with high ranking people shouting at the low rankers to do their jobs. She then saw the Captain shouting out orders to Joey. He ran one way and the Captain ran the other. "Ready to go gals?" The man said through the tower. "Roger that." All of them said through the microphone. "The sky is clear all weather perfect for flying conditions. It's your call Chief you decide which way the pilots go. Also the rescue planes are coming so you better go quick and their all waiting for you to lift off." "Yea were ready. Montgomery you take off first, Shaffer you take off second, and Smithe you take off third and I'll be last. West, North, East. In that order now move move move." Laura yelled. Everyone took off in their own respected angles leaving the chief in the middle. While Laura turned around she didn't realize Tristan, Joey, Ryou, and Yugi looking at the retreating planes.
Walkie talkie each other in the air-
"Bowder!" Laura ordered. "Roger." "Bowder, if we survive this you have to give us a long vacation if you like it or not." She said looking at all of the controls. "Hessemeo this isn't the time to talk. The Lincoln is under attack after you left!" "You mean during."
"WHAT! I have to go over n' out." "Bowder, Bowder, BOWDER!" She yelled. "No luck?" Laura heard Raslene ask. "I heard that Raslene." "Come on let's save the United States!" Hessemeo heard Smithe said with enthusiasm. "Roger that!" They all said including her say all together. And they were off to go to the heart of war.
