This story will have two alternate endings because I thought up two ideas for the situations where Donny would live or die in the theater explosion. This ending, the good ending, will have Donny alive for the end of the war. The next ending, the bad ending and next chapter, will have Donny dead for the end of the war and Audrea's response to it.

Just a word of warning ahead for those of you who choose to read both endings, the bad ending will have a trigger warning attached to it. Thanks!

A truck drove hastily on a dirt road through a dense forest, its tires crunching over fallen brush. The sky was gloomy and held an abundance of light gray clouds. Inside the truck in the passenger's seat sat Hans Landa, admiring Aldo Raine's favorite knife. His fingers slid along the blade, careful not to slice the tips on the edge. The truck slowly slid to a stop as Landa placed the knife back in its carrier, a broad smile present on his face.

"These are the American lines, Colonol sir." Hermann looks over at Landa as he puts the truck in park, opening his door as Landa nods at him and does the same. They move towards the back of the covered truck and Hermann opens the curtains, opening the bottom barrier soon after. Landa walks forward and peeks inside at two handcuffed men, smiling widely. "Gentlemen, we have arrived."

Aldo Raine looks over at him and smirks, Smithson Utivich staying silent as he looks at the surrounding forest. Without another word, Landa motions for Hermann to move Raine and Utivich from the truck. The two men quickly stand and Hermann reaches a hand out to help Raine down from the truck bed, his hand being pushed away by Raine who just sends him a glare. "I can get down myself."

Hermann just looks at him as Raine jumps down, Uticvich following suit. They walk over to where Landa is standing by the American line, continuing to smile broadly at the two men who are handcuffed in front of him. "Hermann, you can take those cuffs off of them now."

Hermann nods at Landa and walks over to Raine, removing the handcuffs and then moving over towards Utivich as Raine rubs his wrists. Landa reaches into his pocket and takes out Raine's pistol, handing it over to him. He then moves to a knife strapped to his belt and unhooks it, handing it out to Raine. "I am officially surrendering myself to you, Lt. Raine."

Landa smiles at Raine as he puts the knife into the waistband of his pants. Raine looks hard at Landa as he places his hands on his hips. "What about my knife?"

Landa chuckles and then reaches down for another knife carrier, grabbing it and handing it over to Raine who takes it and places it next to Landa's knife. He holds his pistol in his left hand and subtly smiles at Landa. "Thank you very much, Colonel. Utivich, cuff the Colonel's hands behind his back."

Utivich nods at Raine and then walks towards Hermann, taking the handcuffs from his hands and then walking behind Landa. Landa glances back at him in confusion and then looks at Raine, Utivich grabbing his hands and cuffing them. "Now, is this really necessary?"

Raine checks the pistol for bullets and then looks up at Landa, giving him a smirk. "It helps to keep up appearances."

Raine points the pistol at Hermann and fires one shot into his chest. Landa looks startled as Hermann falls to the ground. Raine reaches for Landa's knife and hands it to Utivich who grabs it. "Scalp Hermann."

"Are you mad?!" Landa looks over at Raine in shock as Utivich unsheathes the knife and walks over to Hermann, bending down. "What have you done?! I made a deal with your General for that man's life!"

Raine looks at Landa and then shrugs. "Yeah they made that deal, but they don't give a fuck about 'im, they need you."

Landa looks at Raine in disbelief, his face contorting into a look of anger. "You'll be shot for this!"

Raine purses his lips and then shakes his head. "Nah, I don't think so. More like chewed out. I've been chewed out before."

Raine smiles as Landa stares at him. Raines eyes look around in the trees and he takes a quick glance behind him before turning back to Landa. "Ah, I'd also like you to say 'ello to a couple 'a old friends."

Landa stares at him and then looks behind Raine when he hears crunching sounds echoing through the trees. Landa's eyes go wide as Raine turns around, smirking at the three figures that appear out of the trees.

"They were dead! They should be dead!" Landa yells towards Raine as Donny, Ulmer, and Audrea walk up to them, all of them still dressed in their torn and battered suits and dress. Raine smirks at them again before turning back to Landa. "Yeah…they should 'a been, but they ain't."

Landa's mouth opens and closes a few times before he seethes at Raine. "How did they know we were coming here?"

Raine inspects his pistol and then glances up at Landa, shrugging. "I have a lot more sources than you think, Colonel. They knew exactly what we were doin' and where we were doin' it at."

"Surprise, bitch." Donny smirks at Landa as he continues to stare at all three of them, Raine placing the pistol into his left hand. "You know, I 'eard 'at other deal you's gone and made with the General, about endin' the war tonight? I'll make that deal," Raine turns to look at Audrea, Ulmer, and Donny, turning to Utivich last. "What about you? You make that deal?"

Donny, Ulmer, and Audrea all nod at Raine as Utivich continues to scalp Hermann. "I'd make that deal."

"I don't blame ya, damn good deal," Raine smirks at Utivich before turning back to Landa. "Now, I just have one question. When you get back to Nantucket Island, I reckon you's goin' to take off that SS uniform, ain't ya?"

Landa just stares at Raine, unable to speak. Raine nods at Landa as his face goes a bit grim. "That's what I thought. I can't abide by that. How about you, Utivich, can you abide it?"

"Not one damn bit, sir." Utivich peels off Hermann's scalp and inspects it as he answers Raine, wiping the knife on Hermann's jacket. Raine walks forward towards Landa and then whispers in his ear, looking up at the sky. "Now, if it were up to me, I'd make you wear that goddam uniform for the rest of your pecker suckin' life," Raine looks around again as he slowly backs up a few inches to look at Landa in the eyes. "But that just ain't practical. At some point you goin' to have to take it off."

Raine unsheathes his own knife and holds it in front of Landa's face, smirking. "I'm just goin' to have to give you a little somethin' you can't take off."

Raine reaches forward and pushes Landa's hat up, exposing his forehead. Landa stares at Raine, realization hitting him as his face takes on a look of fear.

"Oh, I'm really starting to enjoy this part." Audrea sighs in anticipation as Donny laughs, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and pulling her gingerly into his side. He looks down at her and catches her attention, seeing her look up at him as he smirks. "We really did rub off on you, didn't we? We really fucked you up."

Audrea shrugs as Ulmer chuckles, looking over at her. "Maybe in a good way. At least I know now that this life is a hell of a lot more fun than my other life would have been."

Landa's writhing scream catches all of their attention and they look over towards Raine and Utivich, seeing them hunched over a squirming Landa. Ulmer lets out a loud laugh and crosses his arms. "The screaming of enemies in pain never gets old either."

Audrea smirks at Utivich and shakes her head as Donny reaches a hand towards him, punching him in the arm and forcing him to sway a bit. Utivich just looks up at him and smirks back, all three of them returning their attention to Raine.

"I'll tell ya somethin', Utivich, this may just be my masterpiece." Raine looks down at the bloody Swastika carved into Landa's forehead, Utivich nodding his head as a broad smile appears on his face. Landa continues to writhe in pain as the two men stand up, Raine returning his knife to its carrier and walking over towards Audrea, Donny, and Ulmer.

"After I make this 'ere deal, the war's over." Raine looks around at everyone and smiles, Ulmer scrunching his eyebrows. "Then what? What's everyone going to do?"

Raine casts his gaze towards Ulmer and scrunches his own eyebrows in confusion. "I don't really know. Go back to Tennessee, I guess."

"Go back home and back to work for me." Utivich shrugged and looked up at everyone, Ulmer nodding his head in agreement. "Same here."

Audrea thought for a moment and then shrugged, biting her lip. "I don't really even know. I mean, I don't have a family to go to, or even a home for that matter."

Everyone looked over at Audrea, Raine's face falling in concern.

"Go back to Boston with me." Donny spoke through the silence and everyone looked at him, Audrea looking up at him in confusion. "What?"

Donny smiled at her and removed his arm from her shoulders, placing his hands there instead. "Come home with me. You don't have anywhere to go and, I mean, my own mother would love you."

Audrea stared at him in disbelief of his hospitality, thinking she would never see the day when the large man in front of her would say something so nice instead of insulting someone's six generations of family. Donny scanned her face for an answer and then bit his lip, removing his hands from her shoulders and then bending down to one knee. "Audrea Falco…"

"Aw shit!" Raine smacked Utivich hard on the back as he smiled widely, Utivich and Ulmer staring down at Donny in disbelief. Audrea stared down at Donny, her hands shaking at her sides.

"Will you marry me?" Donny smiled up at her as she stared down at him, Raine making some sort of noise out of anticipation and happiness at seeing a proposal. Audrea tore her eyes away from Donny's and looked around at the other three men, Raine nodding at her as Utivich and Ulmer stared blankly at her. She took in a long shaky breath and then looked down at Donny, her lips slowly turning upwards into a smile. "Yes-"

"Hot damn! She said fucking yes!" Raine shouted out into the forest and startled everyone. He grabbed Utivich in a tight hug and spun him around, setting him down and then screaming into his face. "We're goin' to have a weddin'!"

Before Utivich could register what Raine had just done, Raine moved over towards Audrea and grabbed her waist, picking her up and swinging her around. "You're gettin' married, darlin'!"

Audrea felt her head start to ache at all of the images of the trees and the men around her going by and she laughed, grabbing Raine's shoulders as she closed her eyes. "Put me down! I'm getting dizzy!"

Raine stopped spinning and planted her feet to the ground, Donny moving forward to place a hand on Raine's shoulder. He looked back at Donny and then at Audrea, smiling widely. "You're getting' married!"

"Yes, now move aside so I can actually kiss my future bride." Donny shot a look at Raine who just continued to smile at him, moving out of the way so Donny could move forward and embrace Audrea. She laughed as he picked her up, twirling her around once before bringing her in for a passionate kiss. Raine sighed and then looked at Utivich and Ulmer. "They're getting' married."

Utivich and Ulmer stared at Raine as Donny and Audrea continued to kiss behind him, both of them looking at each other after a moment and then back at Raine with a look of annoyance.

"They know!"
