AN: ok so new idea! We are all going to take turns writing a chapter! This chapter is written by Diana! Hope you like it!
The next morning Liebgott was woken up way earlier than he wanted to be.
"Wakey Wakey." A soft voice called to him as he slowly woke. He blinked a couple of times when he saw who was standing over him.
"What the hell are you doing in my barracks, Corporal?" Liebgott demanded in a low voice.
"Early morning run in five." Estee replied with a giggle. "Remember. Full gear."
Liebgott groaned. Why had he made such a stupid deal. He got to his feet and began to get dressed. Estee had already slipped out just in case Sobel decided to slip in. When Liebgott was fully dressed he went to find Estee and the rest of the girls. But all he found was Estee.
"Where are the others?" Liebgott asked looking around. He hadn't had an Estee/Sami prank pulled on him yet and he was expecting something to go down. Estee giggled and started to run down the road backwards.
"They had to start with out us." Estee said with a smile. "Come on Liebgott. Unless you can't keep up with little ol' me."
Estee turned around and started running in the direction the other girls had gone. Liebgott smirked and quickly caught up to her. After the forth mile Liebgott was having trouble keeping up at the same pace as Estee.
"Hey Liebgott, you liking the view from back there or what?" Diana called as she and the other two girls passed, they were already on their way back to base. "Better catch up. She's going slow as it is."
Sami and Maci giggled.
"Yeah Liebgott, stop slowing up Corporal Olive." Maci said smacking his butt as she passed him. "She should have caught up with us by now."
Estee giggled. "Ok girls leave him alone. He is in full army gear."
Sami giggled. "Yeah ok Estee, we'll leave your little boyfriend alone."
The girls went on down the road as Estee and Liebgott kept going. When they finally reached the base, Estee pulled Liebgott behind a building.
"What are you doing?" He demanded. Estee covered his mouth.
"Sobel." Estee said simply. She grabbed his hand and pulled him around the building. "Ok go."
He raced to the next one and Estee took off up the hill next to the road. A couple seconds later she came jogging back down the road.
"Corporal Olive, why weren't you with the rest of the girls?" Sobel demanded.
"Went a little farther sir." Estee replied standing at attention. "Wanted to push myself a little farther. I want to be the best I can be sir."
Sobel considered this then nodded. "As you were."
Estee nodded in response and headed into her barracks where she found her friends waiting on her.
"Suck up." Maci teased as Estee walked in. "Your working for another promotion aren't you."
"If I wanted to kiss ass, I wouldn't kiss Sobel's." Estee replied. She quickly changed since the others were already in their uniforms. She noticed her friends watching her closely but she ignored them. She knew what was on their minds. And sure enough they had to ask.
"So, you and Liebgott?" Sami asked with a smirk. Estee rolled her eyes.
"So what was Liebgott doing?" Maci asked with a knowing look in her eye.
"Paying me back for turning me in to Winters." Estee replied. "He is also saving us latrine duty. Said he'd do it for all of us."
Sami awed. "I want to have one of the guys wrapped around my finger like you have Liebgott."
Estee giggled. "Are you kidding, we all have these men wrapped around our fingers. Even Sobel."
The girls all giggled together but quickly stopped when Winters walked in. "Exception in five. Look a live ladies."
"Yes sir." The girls replied. They quickly checked each other over to make sure they were good. They knew Sobel wouldn't find anything wrong. Estee was a little OCD. They just made it to the rest of Easy company when Sobel came around the corner.
"Where have you been?" Liebgott asked over to the girls.
"You people are at the position of attention!" Sobel demanded. Every one jumped into attention. Sobel started to look around at the soldiers in front of him. He stopped in front of Perconte.
"Private Perconte, have you been blousing your trousers over your boots like a paratrooper?" Sobel demanded to the smaller man. Maci glared at Sobel. Preconte was one of her favorite men out of Easy, and she was very protective of her favorites. Sami shook her head slightly, warning the girl not to make a move.
"No, sir!" Perconte replied.
"Then explain the creases at the bottom." Sobel demanded. Estee quickly looked down at Perconte's pant legs. She saw no crease. An imperfection like that would have caught her eye.
"No excuse, sir."
"Volunteering for the parachute infantry is one thing, Perconte, but you've got a long way to proving you belong here. Your weekend pass is revoked." Sobel said then moved on to the next man. Perconte looked over at Estee. She shook her head slightly. That's what Perconte had thought. There was no crease. Sobel stopped in front of Estee. He looked her up and down with a sharp eye. Finding nothing wrong he did the same with Sami, Maci and Diana. The only thing wrong with them was Diana's hair was to long for his liking.
"When did you sew on these chevrons, Sergeant Lipton?" Sobel asked stopping in front of Lipton.
"Yesterday, sir." Lipton replied. Sobel picked of a single thread and practically shoved it into Lipton's face.
"Long enough to notice this." Sobel seemed almost proud to say the next line. "Revoked."
Estee quickly glanced around the men hoping that the others were in tip top shape. She then noticed some mud on the side of Liebgott's shoe. Estee held her breath as Sobel set his sights on Leubgott.
"Name!"
"Liebgott, Joseph D., sir."
Sobel looked him over then took out Liebgott's bayonet. "Rusty bayonet, Liebgott. You wanna kill Germans?"
"Yes, sir." Liebgott replied. This for some reason annoyed Sobel. He held up the knife bayonet and walked to the front of the men. "Not with this. I wouldn't take this rusty piece of shit to war, and I will not take you to war in your condition."
He threw the knife down causing it to stick straight up in the ground. "Now thanks to these men and their infractions, every man in the company who had a weekend pass has lost it. Change into your P.T. gear, we're running Currahee."
Winters gave the order for them to move out. Every one hurried away except for Estee. She hung back and waited for Liebgott. He didn't seem to happy to see her waiting.
"Here to glote?" he asked bitterly. Estee shook her head and pointed down at his boots.
"Just thought I'd tell you that it could have been worse." Estee replied then walked off. He looked down and sighed. She was right. He was lucky Sobel hadn't seen the mud. He watched Estee get stopped by Sobel before she could slip into her barracks. He watched as Estee bowed her head. She looked defeated as she walked into the barracks. When it came time to run Liebgott seemed to be the only one not surprised to see the girls not with them.
"Ah, Easy Company. Hey, while you're running, don't worry, we'll take your dames to the movies for ya!" some one from another company called back to them.
"Good, they need some female company." Liebgott retorted back.
"You mind giving that blonde one my number?" one of the other men asked. "Wouldnt mind showing her how a real soldier does things."
Liebgott's anger bubbled inside him. He rushed forward and knocked the man's hat off his head. He wasn't surprised that the other men of Easy Company did the same.
"Are you sure that's what he ordered?" Diana asked with sad green eyes. Estee nodded sadly. The girls were ordered to take Diana into town and get her long black hair cut shoulder length.
"I wouldn't be ordering this if Sobel hadn't." Estee said sadly. "He also warned the rest of us to keep our hair shorter."
Diana sighed. "I think he's trying to get rid of us. I mean six months here and he never complained before."
Sami nodded. "I agree. I think he's trying to turn the men against us. Why else send us to town when we could just cut it here."
Estee smirked. "Yeah, yeah why not."
She went to her footlocker and brought out a pair of scissors. She walked up to Diana and with a couple swift motions cut off at least a foot of hair. Diana didn't even have time to protest.
"Now, lets go catch up with our men." Estee said with a smirk. The girls smirked back knowing how pissed Sobel would be and quickly caught up with the men. Sobel didn't notice them till they made it to the top and headed back down. He almost missed them but Winters had called them out.
"Nice hair cut Specialist Smith... Keep it going Camdon... Steeve, way to catch up. Corporal Olive, nice of you to catch up."
"Thank you sir." the girls replied as they past. Sobel's face was red in rage. The girls quickened their pace knowing that if they stayed in Sobel's sight, he'd call them back to him.
"Where have your four been?" Perconte asked when they reached him and Liebgott.
"Sobel ordered us to go into town and get Diana's hair cut." Sami replied.
"He was giving you pass into town!" Bull said in outrage.
"We didn't take it." Estee replied. The men looked at her as if she was crazy. "Our men were having to run so why shouldn't we?"
Liebgott smiled over at her. He had a new founded respect for the girls. They risked heavy punishment from Sobel, just so they would be with the rest of Easy Company.
"Olive, Camdon, Smith and Steeve! Front and center!" Sobel demanded when he finally caught up with the girls. They held their heads high as Sobel laid into them for disobeying a direct order. "I want you four to run that again and again and again till I say your done! Move!"
The girls headed off at once. Winters walked up to Liebgott. "What did they do?"
Liebgott smiled proudly. "Disobeyed a direct order sir. Sobel gave them a pass into town to get Smith's hair cut. Instead they did it themselves so they could run with us."
Winters smirked. "Couldn't have more loyal soldiers as those four."
"No sir, we couldn't." Liebgott replied.
