Normal POV:
Katie sat in her room watching TV. Summer had just started about a week ago and she hadn't done anything even remotely fun. "UUUGGGHHH" she said aloud. It wouldn't matter anyway, her mom was still at work. She often worked as a housekeeper and sometimes she cut people's grass, really just anything to make money while school was out. Katie looked over at the neon colored clock on her night stand. 3:39 PM. Her mom had said she wouldn't be back until around six, and Katie couldn't handle the boredom anymore, so she grabbed her "piece of crap" as she called it, and texted her mother.
Going to see if I can stay with Alex tonight. Call you if I can't. Love you. Send.
Katie rolled off her bed and turned her TV off, not regretting missing the end of the "Where's Gary?" episode of Spongebob. She had seen it a million times and was just watching it because there was nothing else on that suited her fancy. Before she left, she changed into a bright green tank-top with a big "CN" or "Cartoon Network" logo on it and some hot pink jean shorts. She grabbed her black ankle-high combat boots and put them on, then headed out the door to Alex's house. She had already gotten her driver's license, but she didn't have a car, so as usual, she began walking the short distance into town.
She walked down her long driveway and then continued on the side of the road. There wasn't a sidewalk near her house, so she had gotten use to walking on the edge of people's
yards to keep from getting run over. Sometimes she'd hear someone yell at her to get off their lawn, but usually it wasn't all that bad considering she knew most of her neighbors. Once she got to the end of her street, she crossed the road and walked into a driveway. It lead to a little old house she knew too well. As she knocked on the door, a short dumpy little lady came out. She had short brown hair and Katie was about 6 inches taller than her. Clad in a leopard print top and jeans, the lady looked up at Katie. "Well, what'r you doin' here?" she asked in an overly enthuesiastic tone. "Mama's at work and I was wondering if you'd drop me off at Alex's." she responded. "Of co'rse! Lemme go git my keys!" the woman said as she hurried into the house. Katie had known her for atleast 5 years now. She was Mrs. Reba, a woman her mom use to work with. She was always really sweet and gave Katie a ride whenever she asked. She also made a killer coffee cake.
When Katie got to Alex's apartment complex, she thanked Mrs. Reba and hurriedly walked through the parking lot. She ducked behind a flight of stair and went around a corner until she found the door that read 319. She had come to know her friend's home all too well. She spent about as much time here as she did at her own house. And because of that, she knew that it took Alex forever to open the door.
Alex heard a knock at her door. "AH SHIT!" she whisper yelled, as she rushed to throw the bowl she was eating icecream out of into the sink. She slammed her laptop shut and threw it on the couch. Not that a creepypasta fanfiction was anything to try and hide, but it also wasn't the perfect conversation starter. She took a minute to catch her breath so she wouldn't seem all suspicious, and finally she walked to answer the door.
"HEEEEEEYYYY! Gotcha laptop handy? I seriously need some internet since our wifi went out!" Katie said, barging through the door as soon as Alex opened it. "Plus Keith sent us a letter the other day and said he can videochat us now." she said. "He's at a top secret military base, Kate, I don't think he's gonna Skype us." Alex replied sarcastically. About that time, Katie was opening Alex's laptop. "... Jeff the Killer?" she remarked, "You could atleast go for Slendy!" "Whatever, just don't close the tab, it took me forever to find a good story." Alex complained. "Fine." was all her friend said as she opened a new window and went to Skype.
"Dude, when I said he wouldn't Skype us I was being dead serious, you know that right?" Alex asked quizically. But she was wrong. After about five minutes, a screen popped up with a male's face on it. He was dressed all in military clothes and had a close haircut. You could tell by looking at him that he was in the armed forces, but not by the way he talked. "HELLO!" he said rather loudly. "OMYGOSH KEITH I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! WHATCHA BEEN DOIN? AND WHEN ARE YOU COMIN HOME?" Katie smiled as she talked. Alex just sat back on the couch and watched, as she had been introduced to Keith before, but never really talked to him that much.
After their pleasentries were exchanged, the videochat went on a little more calmly.
"So what are you guys doing out there?" -Katie
"Uh-" -Keith
"Katie you can't ask him things like that!" -Alex
"Oh, hi Alex!" -Keith
"Hey." -Alex
"Sooo what are you doing out there?" -Katie
"Seeeecret stuuuff." -Keith
"What kinda seeeecret stuuuuff?" -Katie
"The kind I can't tell my family back home about." -Keith
"Why soo serious?" -Katie
"Haha. Quit singing P!nk while you're talking to me." -Keith
"Haha." -Katie
"Yeah so I wanted to talk to you guys about somethin." -Keith
"You guys?" -Katie
"Yeah you and Alex." -Keith
"Me?" -Alex
"Yeah do you guys have a job yet? Specially you Kate." -Keith
"I'm 16, Keith." -Katie
"That's not what I asked you." -Keith
"No. We don't" -Alex
"Good... ya want one?" -Keith
"Like what? I am not joining the military." -Katie
"Me neither." -Alex
"Not quite. You guys are gonna have to do a little getting use to though. Ya know... if you agree." -Keith
"What kinda getting use to?" -Katie
"Well, Katie, you've never been on a plane, soo..." -Keith
"A plane?" -Katie
"Well... I'm at a secure military base. I can't tell you where, but you guys would have to come live here a while. And... the jobs aren't exactly paid, more like just a learning experience, but-" -Keith
"Woah, woah, woah! You're tryna get us to move onto a military base?" -Alex
"You'll love the jobs. Katie, I know how you guys are best friends and I know how you liked that Chevy Comaro I use to have." -Keith
"What the freak does the car have to do with anything!?" -Katie
"You guys'll be working with the most awesome vehicles and-" -Keith
"I'm not a mechanic!" -Katie
"You don't have to be! And when school comes around, we've got that covered too! You gotta ask your moms though. But if you can sell them on the idea, I can arrange for you to leave on Thursday." -Keith
"As cool as this sounds... what kinda job is this, exactly?" -Alex
"A top secret one." -Keith
"I'm serious." -Alex
"Come on guys! Years from now when you're looking back on your lives, don'tcha wanna be able to say you had the guts to do it?" -Keith
"..."
"Please. I miss my family, and when the Sergeant said we needed a few trust-worthy people to help out around here, I convinced him that you'd be perfect. It's not a job that pays a lot of money... but I promise, if you don't let me down, I won't let you down. You will not regret this." -Keith
"... Alex?" -Katie
"What?" -Alex
"I think I'm gonna talk to my mom tonight." -Katie
"I can't spend Summer without you!" -Alex
"Then go with 'er!" -Keith
"I'm not making any promises..." -Alex
"But?" -Katie and Keith
"I'll talk to my mom." -Alex
"YES!" -Katie and Keith
"Well, I gotta go. I'll try to Skype you sometime tomorrow. You can tell me what they said then." -Keith
"K. Bye! Love you!" -Katie
"Bye." -Alex
"Love you, Katie! Bye Alex!" -Keith
