The sun shines down over the farm and allows each grain of crop to shine a golden yellow colour.
The whole place is quiet except from the distant noise of mine and my brother Rafe dads plane doing his usual daily round of crop dusting. Danny is here again today as he is everyday , he is Rafes  best friend always has been and probably always will be. He is the same age as me which is nice considering that I don't have many friends around here because of how small our little town is. I like to see Danny as a friend as well even if sometimes Rafe disagrees with me.
All day everyday the three of us spend our time outside exploring the fields and pretending we are playing in the war ( me being the only girl and rafes younger sister of only a years difference I am always told I had to play the nurse but I didn't mind because even though I am only six years old i like the idea of being able to help)
When daddy pills his plane back in I see that Rafe has developed that mischievous look in his eyes that I have seen a hundred times before and somehow I already know wha he is gonna say.
" guys come over here let's sit in the plane it will feel more real to us like we are actually in war "
I can already see Danny leaping over to join my brother but in all honesty it is no surprise because sometimes I question if them two are actually joined at the hip .
" I'm coming wait for me " I shout not wanting to be left out again
" I call shotgun " Danny states with a slight southern accent peaking through
" mo you get the back with Amelia "
" but I'm the bigger one "
"and I'm the oldest plus this is my daddy's plane "
" fine"
Once the debate over who takes shotgun is over I have to slide in the back however there is only one seat meaning that I have to sit there on Danny's lap. Rafe was playing  with the buttons on the plane before it roared to life and we were actually flying however I didn't fell scare like I thought that I would I felt comforted and part of me believes that It has something to do with Danny's protective arms holding me in place as we flew and then crashed before getting told off by Danny's father .
