RAFE MCCAWLEY POV: (narration)

For as long as I can remember Danny has been my best friend, brother. I trust him with my life. We have dreamt of one thing since we were kids and that was planes, we'd always dreamt of becoming pilots, doesn't matter what kind but as long as we are flying, we know that's where we'll be free. 

Ever since 1 year ago I never believed it could happen, Danny was the only one that kept hope in his heart for each of us, he knew that one day we would be flying. We followed our dreams, and we didn't give up until those dreams become our reality. Flying was our safe place, nothing could hurt us when we were in the sky drifting off into the clouds to escape our lives down on the ground. Well flying was our safe space until we saw the reality of what we got ourselves into. We are part of the Army Air corps. What comes with that title is horrifying, heartbreaking and dangerous, very dangerous. It's waking up every morning never knowing if we'll make it back alive, never knowing what that day could bring, but that is the beauty of the unexpected, we are never promised tomorrow, no one is, so we just got to make every day count, live everyday like its our last, love like we wont tomorrow.

Danny and I have only loved 1 thing more than planes, and that is each other. Throughout school we protected one another we knew no one else would. 

It's difficult protecting each other though when you are hundreds, thousand feet in the air, in seperate planes, but we make it work. See we have this trick called playing chicken, at the last minute we call left or right and near miss each other in the air, it has come in handy several times whilst being a pilot.

DANNY WALKER POV:

"Which way!!?" I call into the intercom connecting to Rafes plane, "just keep going" Rafe calls through, shit we are getting dangerously close now, but we need to impress the Captain so we can pull away now, at the last second Rafe shouts... "RIGHT", we break apart from each other at perfect timing. That definitely caught the Caps attention. 

...

The Captain called us to his office and we stand in salute until cap says otherwise, "I remember being young and cocky, I miss those days but being like that when we are in war can kill you", "OK CAPTAIN", "next time you try and impress me have your wits about you, although that was a nice trick both you pulled out of your pocket, don't do it again, hear me!", "YES CAPTAIN" we yell in unison. "Your both dismissed", captain opens his door and we march out, until we are round the corner and we laugh to each other.

"That was a close call", I howl. Rafe agrees and we go back to our situated bases.

...

It's time for our blood tests to make sure we are suitable to fly, this is a yearly thing and is very important. After waiting in our seperate lines, waiting for the needle, my nurse calls me over. I sit down but then I notice the nurse doing my test, she is like nothing I've seen before, she's beautiful. She wraps my arm awaiting a vein to pop up so she can get to it better, I keep my eyes on her, "Lieutenant Walker, do you have any health problems?" she asks, "no ma'am", she sticks the needle in my arm drawing the blood from the vein, I feel a pinch but I'm too preoccupied with trying to figure out her name. "Ok daniel you are all done", she states holding some cotton ball to my injection putting pressure making sure I don't bleed, "thankyou ma'am". Before I leave I turn back to her, "could I get your name?", "Ellie" she announces, "I'm Danny", "yes I know", "of course you do" I start laughing nervously. "Danny, you coming?", Rafe yells. I nod to him. "This is going to sound sudden, but could I take you out?", hope fills my eyes and heart, "I don't know sir, I don't tend to date my patients", devastation glooms over me, Rafe runs toward us, "ma'am, danny is real nice. If it helps say I was your patient instead of danny", Ellie laughs at him, "ok sure" my eyes light up. Ellie looks down at some paper and writes something.... "my address", "I'll pick you up at 8!" I yell, Rafe pulling me away in congratulations, I turn to her for a split second, she giggles. She's going to be the death and life of me I know it.
