"Hey how'd it go?" I ask as Steve has come to join me after trying to enlist in the army for the 3rd time.
"What you think.." he says a bit coldly while continuing to walk in a direction that leads to no destination.
"Well how do you think about go watching a movie?" I offer as he stops and starts to walk back over to me, as in a way of saying yes.

My eyes scan the beautifully large building, before turning to my side, "you know, they don't know what they're quite missing out, without you. I'm sure you'll get in Stevie, don't give up," I say kind of giving him a quick half smile before patting him on the shoulder and heading in.

It doesn't take long before we find a seat, watching as the lights slowly darken and the picture is switch on, but before our choice of film, an army advert shows up. Great. I think to myself, way to kick a guy when he's already down. But little did I know that, this wasn't the worst of it. Some guy made a huge fuss about not being able to see the picture straight away.

"Who cares? Play the movie already!" He yells, catching everyone's attention,

"Hey, you wanna show some respect?" Steve reply's, staying very calm. But as the advert goes on it seems to antagonize him even more, "Hey, just start the cartoon!"

"Wanna shut up," Steve raises his voice making the guy stand up, to look down on him, but I quickly rise to mine, "don't you even dare-" but I stop my sentence as quickly as it started, Steve hand catching me off guard as he stands up with me. This causes the guy to launch for him and drag him.

I'm soon able to catch up, catching a glimpse os Steve getting knocked to the ground, "Hey!" I said punching him as hard as I could, as he falls ground, while I stand in between the guy and my best friend.
"You just don't know when to give up, do you?"

"I can do this all day," little rogers claims as he goes in for a punch, I instantly grab him as soon as the other guy blocks his attack and hurl him behind me. Making the guy almost swing for me before I stop him.

My attention to his actions soon left my mind as someone else grabs his shoulder and pulls him back, with some force, "Hey. Pick on someone your own size,"

My face lights up instantly, knowing who's voice that belongs to, I stand behind one of my closest friend as he forcefully removes the guy beating down on Steve.

"Sometimes, I think you like getting punched," the man says turning around to point out at rogers.
"Bucky," my voice lets out, a smile on my face as I go into hug him, "Doll face."

The hug is soon broke up due to another voice I grew up with, "I had him on the ropes," the skinny boy replied.

"How many times is this?" Bucky askes before opening his enlistment form,

"Oh, your from Paramus now?"

"What? You said you was from Jersey?"

"You know it's illegal to lie on the enlistment form. And seriously, the Paramus." Bucky questions as Steve tries to fix his clothes, only to stop and notice buck wearing his uniform,

"You get your orders?"

"The 107th." He replied,
"Sargent James Barnes, shipping out for England first thing tomorrow."

"I should be going," Steve says all grumpy,

"Come on," Bucky says wrapping an arm around the toothpick and me,
"My last night!" He starts only for his arm to pull away from Steve, assuming he found some dirt on his jacket from being knocked down into the trash cans,
