/ AN: I know that candyman is originally sang by Christina Aguilera, but she doesn't exist at the moment. So enjoy! \

I can not believe they made do that. I can not believe Howard wanted me to do it to get a damn candidate for the damn project. Damn Howard and the SSR for using for their damn propaganda. Wow, I just realized something. I don't have any red lipstick on. I always have some on. It's literally my signature look. Then again, every girl wears red lipstick now.

Right now, Howard, Dr.Erskine, Agent Carter, and I were going over files of new men in army who joined after the recording went public to find a candidate for the project, before the expo tonight and nothing. One soldier did catch my eye and my was he handsome, especially his ocean blue eyes. He looked like a guy who always got the ladies, but also knew who to treat them right. Closing his file, I set it with the rest of the maybe files.

"Honestly, some of these men are nowhere near of meeting the requirements for project rebirth," Agent Carter said setting down the file she was currently reading. I rolled my eyes. You see Peggy and I don't exactly see eye to eye on most things. We cause a lot of arguments. Which, is saying a lot because she is a two years older than I am. Before I got to say something I was rudely interrupted by the television commercial.

Oh no. It's my commercial, my propaganda video. "Hey, look Nico, your on tv." my genius of a brother said smiling like the dufus that he is. Shaking my head, I smiled at his genius child self. We stopped and watched as they announced my video.

Bucky's POV
"Come on, it will be fun. Connie is bringing her friend Bonnie and after the expo, we're going dancing, plus I just saved you from getting your butt kicked AGAIN," I said trying to convince my best friend, Steve. Sigh.

I know he was upset about being rejected once again to join the army, but he's too stubborn. I want to support him, but I also don't want him to get hurt. Ever since his mom died I'm all he has, and that is why I joined the army. Not only to protect my country, but to protect Steve as well.

"Hey, I had him on the ropes before you showed up and plus, I just dont see the point. I-" before he could finished, the television interrupted him. It was a propaganda commercial, to get more men to join the army. This just had to come on right now, of all times.

"Men, do you want to protect the ones you love and your country? Well, after watching this video you will want to join to protect those you love," one of the announcers said.

"Give it up for her new song and video, CandyMan by Nicolette Stark!" the second announcer announced.

/ Play video here if you like. \

"Wow, I don't know about you Jack, but I think we should join the army and protect our country," said the unknown announcer.

"Yes Dave, I do believe we should, and not to protect our country, but to protect those we love. If you want to do all that, join the army! Go to the nearest recruitment center and enlist today!"

Click.

"Honestly, do they have to use her to get men to enlist? It's unbelievable. I mean she is more than a pretty face who can sing, but no one sees it-"

"You see it," Steve said smirking up at me.

"Shut up, I mean thats all you see her on. Either a advertisement for new clothes or make up and when one of her new songs come out, but now she's a propaganda? I bet even her own brother told her she should do it and-"

"Bucky."

"What?"

"Your rambling again about her," Steve pointed out.

"Oh, right sorry, it just frustrates me and I only seen her once. ONCE and all I do is ramble on about how she is so much more than a pretty face who can sing and-"

Steve gave me the 'you are doing it again' look. "Okay Okay, I'm done. No more about Nicolette Stark. No más," I said swinging my arms in a X way.

"Plus, you have a date with Bonnie tonight." Steve said getting water.

Facepalm.
"Connie. Steve it is Connie not Bonnie.Bonnie is your date," I said shaking my head at his child ways.

"Must I remind you it is a double date and speaking of which we should head out soon to met them at the expo and-"

"Oh, come on Steve it's my last night. Come, I promise it will be fun," I told him fixing my uniform for tonight.

"Fine, but I doubt it will be far from fun and plus, I think the only REAL reason you want to get there already is because Nicolette might be there as it is HER brother's expo of 'the future.' Don't worry Bucky, I'm sure she will notice you one day. Trust me," Steve said and walked away to  his room to get ready leaving me stunned trying to process what he just said.

"HEY, JUST BECAUSE ITS HER BROTHERS EXPO DOESNT NECESSARILY MEAN SHE WILL BE THERE AND WHAT ARE YOU, PSYCHIC?!" I yelled out to him.

I sighed. Even if she was there, she would be too busy helping her brother to notice me or Steve. Shaking my head, Stop you're going on a date with Connie tonight. Yes, Nicolette may be the most beautiful gal out there and may never notice me, but if IF one day we do actually meet. I will do everything in my power to show her that I know she is more than a pretty face who can sing. That she can be just as a genius as her brother and she no longer has to hide it and act as if she knows nothing, even if it is the last thing i do. I vowed.

"You done staring yourself in the mirror Buck?" I looked at my best friend and laughed, "C'mon, the girls are probably there already."

I swung my arm around his shoulder and said, "To the future we go Steve."
