Truth time. I started this story my friend started to help than I got tasked to go on deployment. I got bumped from deployment because someone with a higher rank decided to take my spot. Life school and work took over which lead my bosses to task me to go on deployment again this time I got picked went to training than Afghanistan. In the mist of all that I have to say I completely forgot about my stories.

Anyway I hope you guys like what I wrote but I understand if you don't either way your comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Callie's Point of View

I have to say when I first saw Teddy I assumed that there was a little something going on between her and Callie. Its just the way she looked me up and down when I got in the car and the looks she gave me made me think she had marked her territory and I was trespassing but maybe that was just her friend jeans kicking in after all her being straight does mean I have a hell of a shot.

Besides Arizona doesn't strike me as the woman who would take me out just to make an ex jealous. I know I just met her today but that's not the vibe I get off her.

Arizona's Point of View

We jumped in my car and headed straight to Stake Plate exchanging light banter back and forth. It was almost like we where all old friends just ridding along on any given day.

I got out of my car while Teddy and Callie continued to talk and I opened both of their doors.

"OK ladies dinner is on me."

Callie-" what would you recommend I eat?"

For a second I froze and turned a little red because the dirty thoughts that flashed in my mind of what exactly I wanted her to try first wasn't on the menu. Ever since that little massage on the beach my mind has been in the gutter. Finally I found my voice.

" For your first time I say try the stake plate no salad and two scopes of rice Teddy what would you like"

Callie- " Ok I'll try that one"

Teddy-"I'll have the same"

" you guys are no fun if we all have the same thing how am I suppose to nibble off your plates"

Teddy-" Maybe that's are liberate plan to prevent you from stealing our food"

" Hey I'm paying for the meal I should get a perk or two"

Callie-" how about you get something different and I'll share my plate with you"

"Deal"

I order our meal than we went to the combining store to find a suitable drink and of course lots of junk food. I'm a sucker for chocolate.

" Hey Teddy do you need a ride to the air port?"

Teddy- "No I'm good I'm actually renting a car so we wont be bound anywhere"

" that's good because my day is a little tight"

Teddy-" Than why did you just offer?"

"because I'm your friend if you need me than I'd find a way"

"ahhh isn't she cute Callie?"

Callie's Point of View

Cute isn't the word that comes to mind when I think of Arizona. It's like she's wooing me without trying to woe me.

" That she is. I think they just called for our order"

Arizona" I'll go grab it if you wouldn't mind grabbing me a Sobe"

When Arizona came back from grabbing the food I had the drinks and Teddy had chocolate and chips in both hands.

We walked to the car and for once I was able to show my chivalry by opening the door for Arizona. Teddy on the other hand saw what I did since I neglected to help her out. In my defense I was a little taken by Arizona that I forgot that she was there when we walked back to the car.

On our way back we swapped stories of why it is we joined the military.

Teddy came from Africa where her American mother married a man who was bent on saving the world. Her father decided that as elementary teacher he could help fight the literacy in this small village and the mother was a jack of all trades in the village a doctor, teacher and a mechanic he. She joined the military at the age of 35 with a BA in business unfortunately the military didn't recognize her BA and being a duel citizen prevented her from joining an officer program. She just wanted to travel on someone else's dime.

Arizona's story was fairly simple she came in to be an adult. I have to say I've actually never heard that as a reason normally I hear the traditional I joined to travel , for education, to escape their family, try something new, financial reasons or to serve the military.

I for one joined to continue the family tradition. My father was a Master Chief my mother was a PO1 my sister joined the marines and is actually serving in Mals-24 as a SGT. The weird thing is even though she is actually on the same base as Arizona I've never been on this side of the island my always comes to me.

We finally get back on base. And Arizona suggest that since the barracks rooms are fairly small maybe we should just go to lounge.

Arizona's Point of View

After we eat and chat some more Teddy heads off to get ready for her Baby daddy's visit.

" So as far as kidnapping go how would you rate this"

"not bad at all you've kept me entertained and fed me so what's next ransom phone call"

"No I did that earlier with the pictures Teddy took"

" ha ha ha you didn't"

"no I didn't after all who would I send it to?"

"true. "

"So I actually do have a tight schedule and I have about 20 minutes to do my homework for an online class than I have to head to my friends place."

"ok what subject is the homework in maybe I could help"

" Its an English class it's actually not to bad my homework is to watch Oedipus Rex. I have to watch the movie and write a poem about it than take a test it shouldn't take me to long"

"ok lets go up and I'll help I liked the play the concept that you cant fight your destiny always seem to connect through religion to me.

" how so"

" well religion has this concept that not everything is set in stone that God allows you to have free will but how much free will do you really have when the end of the story is already written"

" That's a little different though. It's like being in the fork on the road Religion states that you have a choice between right or left but the right way will lead you to happiness where else the left wont. The end is written but you choose where to be when that end comes. The movie is more like if you pick left or right the end will be the same"

" lets agree to disagree because religion talk always gets me in trouble."

" How about we agree to revisit it"

"ok"

We head to my room I jump in the shower to remove the sand and dried beach water off me. Than we switch and Callie jumps in the shower next. I take this time to go online to the school website. I make a few comments on my classmates post than wait for Callie to come out of the shower.

I guess she forgot to bring her clothes with her in the bathroom because she gets out still a little wet and wrapped in a towel. I don't know what's wrong with me because the baiting suite from earlier left little to the imagination but some how her standing there both of us alone in my room and the only thing preventing me from seeing her in all her glory is the tiniest towel.
