A/N: My titles are cheesy... It was quite literally the first thing that would come to mind when I finished writing a chapter. The name of the story changed though when I went to post it. The original title was "A Day in a Life" and I always questioned myself with the meaning, but when I saved the first chapter it needed a name and again, the first thing that came to mind.


Late 1927

A Bucky was Born

"Buchanan." I thought a ghost said it, it was so quiet.
"Yeah Grant?" We are so used to calling each other by our middle names now.
"Who gives their kid the name 'Buchanan'?"
"My family does I guess. Why?"
"You have it easy. 'Grant'. It's not fair." I shrugged.
"So what. I'm always helping you from bullies; you're lucky I don't make you call me 'Sir James Buchanan Barnes Sir!'" We laughed together. There was silence.
"Your name should be an Alliteration."
"...A what?..." Do we even use that word in the english language?
"It's when the start of 3 words begin with the same sound-ish."
"Oh great..." I rolled my eyes. "So you can write poetry about your hero?" I poked at his side.
"Come on, help me out Barnes!"
"Don't say that! It makes it sound like I'm your horse stable or something!" I said embarrassed.

"Okay so it needs to start with a 'B'..." Steve started to think. "Beuw..."
"That sounds gross, like how you 'Spew' your food when I make you laugh at dinner."
"Give me a hand! 'Banan', 'Bucan', 'Buch'..."
"Butch sounds okay!" I said with a large grin.
"No... I don't want to sound like I'm your girlfriend!" I didn't know how to take it so I just started laughing uncontrollably.

About an hour went by of Steve rhyming out names with 'Buchanan' and 'Barnes' and James being unable to breath of laughter. It some how turned into every word they said began with the letter 'B'.

"Steve, James, It's time for dinner!" Sarah, Steve's mom said.
"Bokay bom!" Steve replied unable to keep it serious.
"Be bill be bight bere Beve's bom!" Both boys were laughing so hard that tears ran down their faces as they cried of laughter.
"I'm done asking what you kids are up too. Your food is on the table, I'm just going to go eat in my room to avoid this insainity." Sarah said with a sincere smile.
"Bokay!" Both boys replied, pointing at eachother laughing even harder, if that was possible.

We crawled to the table, doubled over still laughing. Steve's chair was closer than mine so when Steve started hoisting himself up, I yanked him back down and crawled faster to his chair so I could be first.
"Bi bin!" I yelled out, face hurting from smiling.
"Okay, I'm done, cause unlike you, I have enough breathing problems..." Steve was still smiling and being all giddy when saying that sentence.
"Bah, boor Beve!" James said trying to get food into his mouth.
"Buck bou Bames!" He spit his food out laughing at Steve's comment.
"STEVE! No Swearing!" His mother yell from her room.
"But I didn't! I said 'Buck'!"
"I know you did! I get what you were meaning though!" Both boys looked at eachother as if they were about to be beat. Once again, they started laughing their heads off.
"Bou're bucky Bames..." Steve said.
"Bhy?"
"You probably don't get yelled at for swearing at your 'home'."
"Bup! Bi bam bucky!"
"JAMES! We figured it out!
"What?..." They dropped the 'B' thing because it seemed to have just gotten serious.
"You're Lucky!"
"No not really... I have to be friends with you." James snickered.
"No, You're Lucky! With a 'B', so you're Bucky!" I pondered this for a second.
"Sounds like a dog's name, or a horse..."
"Exactly! It starts with 'B', sounds like lucky, which you are and dogs guard people, me. and horses carry people unwantingly, me!" My face showed nothing, then slowly I began to smile and my eyes went wide in realisation.
"I'm Bucky! and you're Steve! Bucky and Steve! It sounds better than James and Steve too! Job well done soldier! Now go write me some poetry!" and once again, they were laughing like mad-men.


A/N: And there you have it... I literally wrote this on spot trying to think of a way to get the name Bucky... Also realised that I was switching between first and third person view a lot... So umm that'll change soon hopefully... Anyways... Review and you'll get a virtual cookie :D
