A/N Once again I would like to say thank you to BrokenAngel1753, Bobadoo, and Baxley for reviewing. Thank you for all your ideas, tips, and suggestions. I need all I can get. Besides I want to know my readers opinion. It makes me a better writer.

Oh and I forgot my disclaimer so here it is: I don't own anything from Saving Private Ryan. Steven Spielberg and Robert Rodat has that wonderful pleasure. I only own my original characters. Oh well, to bad. Now on with the story!

"You're insane! There is no way we will be able to pull this off!" I told him.

"We can and we will." He replied unfazed.

"Daniel, there is no way we will not get caught!"

"Who said anything about not getting caught?"

My eyes widened in shock. He was expecting to get caught!

"No, Daniel. I'm not doing this if were getting caught." I showed him the palms of my hands. "You see this? These are toothbrush callouses Daniel! Not to mention my knees are starting to lock up every time I get down on them. I swear the next time I might just be stuck like that!"

I thought this might discourage him, but I did not received the desired result. Instead it caused him to start laughing. In an attempt to seem imposing I folded my arms in front of my chest but this only caused him to laugh harder. Unfortunately I could never keep a straight face for very long, so I started to smile. Finally he stopped laughing and addressed me again.

"Look Antony, picture a bald, blue, itching James and try to tell me it's not worth it."

I did and found he was right The one thing that James held dear was his appearance. He was always trying to make sure he was perfect, especially his hair. He was obsessed with his hair.

"Alright how are we going to do this?"

"Well I was thankin'..."

"Oh that's a comforting thought." I said teasingly.

"Shut up! Anyway I was thankin' that if we got a hold of that junk he washes his hair with and replaced it with this," I looked at what he held up; it would defiantly do the trick, "that should take care of it. Now for turin' him blue and makin' him itch, I thought this would work." I had never seen it before and I hoped he was right.

"Alright how do you suggest we swap there out. He keeps his stuff locked away in his footlocker, and unless you know how to pick locks I don't see what we can do."

His grin told me that he did know how to pick locks.

"Alright where do I come into this?" I ask exasperatedly.

"I hate to ask this of you but I need a decoy. We need to keep James away from the barracks."

"Gees thanks, you know how I just love to be James's punching bag." I say sarcastically.

"I wasn't going to ask you to do that. No we just need something to keep him preoccupied."

"Alright something that doesn't have his fist colliding with my face. Hmmm...let me see. You know something like that hardly ever happens. I can't come up with anything." I paused for a minute and then it hit me. "How bout since this whole thing started with him locking us in the showers we return the favor. "

"Briant, only this time around we stick him with someone that hates him as much as we do."

"But that means we have to stick him with Riben. If he finds out he will kill us."

"Not after he figures out it was for a good cause. He'll thank us."

"Alright when are we going to do this?"

"We just have to wait for them to shower together."

This caused me to groan. I hated waiting just as much as I do now.

"This could take forever. I don't have that amount of patiences."

"I know. I have one question though. How did you ever become a sniper in the first place? Patience is a little bit essential."

"I guess I'm such a good shot that it isn't that important." I said with a shrug.

This caused him to roll his eyes.

"You're impossible, you know that?"

"I know, and thank you."

"It's was not meant to be a complement."

"I'll take it as one anyway. So now what are we going to do?"

"Well we need to start watching James and Riben."

"Ah great, I can see it already. 'Why are you watching me all the time? Oh I know why. You're fairy!' Yup, this is going to go over real well." The sarcastic tone was back into my voice.

"No you're not going to be watching James, I am. Besides you're a marksman. You live off of stealth. It shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Easy for you to say. If I even look at James for more than two second, he thinks I'm checking him out. Which is absolutely absurd. Even if I was gay I wouldn't look at him twice. With his disposition, it isn't worth it."

"He thinks everyone is checking him out, especially the ladies. Which they ain't."

"He's full of it."

"Yeah he is." He paused for a minute before continuing. "Well we better get back to the barracks. No need to have the CO pissed at us before there is actually a reason."

"Hay is there any chance we wont get caught?"

"I suppose there is. Well thats if we manage to lock James and Riben in the bathroom, break into James footlocker, swap the stuff, and get out of there as quick as possible without anyone noticin', then were home free."

"So basically there isn't a snowballs chance in hell of us even pulling it off, much less not getting caught."

"Pretty much."

"Ah fantastic! Toothbrush here I come!"

"Hay just think how great it will be if we actually pull this off."

"You better be praying that we do pull this off cause if we don't I'm gonna kill you."

"I always am."

"Good."

I then turned and started walking back to the barracks. He followed quickly.

"Hay you wouldn't really kill me would you?" He asked.

"No but I am starting to wonder if you're worth all the trouble you cause."

"Oh you know I am."

I snorted and rolled my eyes.

"You're full of yourself."

"Nope just self assured."

More like a pain in my ass. I thought but didn't say it out loud.

That night started our first watch. It was painfully obvious we wouldn't get our chance that night and we didn't until almost a week later. I had just gotten out of the shower when I saw Riben go in and much to my surprise James followed him. Of course Daniel wasn't too far behind.

"Did I just see Riben and James go in there?" He asked, almost sounding like he didn't believe it.

"Yeah."

"They alone?"

"Yup."

"Wow I didn't think that would every happen. Alright lets get this over with."

We then jammed the door and made our way to the barracks. It was empty, which wasn't really surprising at this time. Remember this was when I always took my showers because there wasn't much time in between and no one was ever in there. The same was fortunately true for the barracks. He quickly got started on James's footlocker. I tried to stand watch without looking to suspicious. Time seemed to tick by slowly and I thought he would never get it open or we would get caught, but that didn't happen. He actually surprised me when he walked up to me. He was always too sneaky for his own good.

"Alright lets switch these over and get them back in the trunk." He said to me.

In the bathroom we dumped out the stuff and tried to switch it over. This was difficult for me because I have absolutely no natural grace. I think I might have gotten more of it on us then in the container. After the switch we put it back in his footlocker and made our way through the rest of the day. Of course when the CO found James and Riben he interrogated all of us but never got to the bottom of it. He was really pissed by this time because it had happened twice already. Normally he would have suspected us but because it happened to us last time he had no reason to. It was later that night that we may had made a big mistake.

"Daniel I've been thinking. We locked him in when he was taking a shower. Where does he use the stuff we switched?"

His eyes widened in realization.

"You don't think he had extra of that stuff do you?"

"Knowing him he probably did."

"How the hell did we over look that when we came up with this plan?"

"I have no idea."

"Dammit! All that work for nothin'!"

Yup that about summed it up. Our plan had been foiled by over simple site, and it had seemed so perfect once it got started. No one even interrupted us because of what time of day it was. Wait a minute.

"Maybe not."

"What do you mean?"

"Well you know what time it was. You have to really hurry if you plan on getting a decent shower then. Maybe he was in such a hurry that he didn't have time; and now that I think about it I didn't see him take anything out of the shower with him other then his towel. Did you?"

"No, no I didn't."

"Well theres still some hope then. We'll just have to see what happens tomorrow."

Tomorrow came and we kept watch to see what would happen. I also kept my camera handy. I didn't think it would work immediately but if it did there was no way I wasn't getting pictures. Finally James went to take his shower and when he came out it was a sight to behold. He was looked like a jumping blue berry that was scratching everywhere, while trying to hold on to his hair. A crowd gathered quickly which allowed me to take pictures with out being too conspicuous. After I got a sufficient amount, I left for the barracks and hid my camera. It wasn't long after that, that the CO called everyone to the barracks.

"I want to know which of you idiots thought this would be a good idea, and I want to know now!" Of course no answer was forthcoming. I just tried to stand as still as possible and not look guilty, which was a very hard thing to do. "Alright since no one is going to come forward hold out your hands." Everyone did because they had no choice but I was a reluctant to do so. It seemed that the CO knew something that we had overlooked. "The stuff that was used to turn James blue shows up with a UV light. It is very hard to get off even if washed right away so even if the person isn't blue, it will still show up."

This caused my heart to sink. It wouldn't just be on our hands, it would be all over our arms and on the clothes we wore yesterday because I got it everywhere. All I could do while I waited for him to get to us was hope that he was bluffing, unfortunately he wasn't. My arms were lit up like a Christmas Tree.

"I should have known. Am I right to suspect that you also participated in this to Jackson?"

Daniel didn't really have much of a choice so he answered in the affirmative.

"The way you two act I would think I was taking care of a bunch of five year olds instead of grown men!" He yelled, "For this stunt you two will be doing KP duty and scrubbing the floor with your toothbrushes for months! If I come up with anything else you will be doing it to! Understand?"

"Yes sir!" We replied quickly.

"Well get to work!"

He didn't let up on his promise either. About three months latter we where still scrubbing the floors. The only good thing was the other solders thought we were a hero. Of course James on the other hand was doing everything he could to get back at us. Luckily we were on our toes and he didn't get us to bad.

One day we were scrubbing the floors. I was complaining of course and Daniel was just listening to me rant. Thats how the delivery boy found us.

"Package for McNeal, Antony."

"Here." I grabbed it and started to open it.

"What is it?" Daniel asked.

"I don't know. I'm not expecting anything." When I finally saw what it was I busted out laughing.

"Hay what is it?"

"Here have a look."

I handed him the pictures and he started laughing to.

"You, you took pictures! Why didn't you tell me?" He said while laughing.

"I didn't think about it. All this floor scrubbing put it out of my mind."

"You know what would be great?"

"No what?"

"If we could blow these pictures up."

"Oh we can if we have enough money."

"We do."

"Alright when we get some time away from here we will do it."

The next day we went and had them blown up and then plastered the whole camp with them. The look on James's face was priceless. Unfortunately we found our selves right back cleaning the floor again. When I started complaining again Daniel drug on of the pictures out of his pocket and gave it to me.

"Antony if you can look at that and tell me it wasn't I'll let you continue complaining but if you can't I want you to shut up. Now was it worth it?"

I looked at the picture, it was my favorite. James had all of his hair gone and was rolling around on the floor like a dog. You couldn't tell he was blue but the slight change in darkness told you something wasn't normal.

"It's worth it. More then worth it."

A/N Sorry it took so long to reply. I have been sick and I have had a lot of school work to do. I hope it was worth the wait. As always please tell me what you thought. If it sucked I want to know. The only way I'm going to get any better is if you tell me what I did wrong. Oh to give you fair warning I proably will not update untill next weekend. I still have a lot of work to do.
