***Charlie***
Suddenly Captain Lewis is pushed to the kitchen by some other higher-rated soldiers who have few medals themselves. Captain doesnt look at Charlie, but she thinks her heart is gonna stop soon. Captain: Im not going to complain the poor cook about breakfest being late! You can have your beans and bacon later, for heavens sake! One of the soldiers: No we cant! We are going to lead the new ones to the march in an hour. We need to get our breakfest! Captain: Ok, ok, I'll say....*then he raises his eyes and smiles when he sees Charlie* Hey, you are my little miss doorbanger! Others: YOUR little miss doorbanger?! One of the soldiers: Forget about that dame captain, ´this is unfair! Captain just smiles and says: Run along fellas, you are going to have your breakfest soon. So off the guys go, and captain stays. Charlie still sits at the work-top and taps her feet a little against the floor. Then she suddenly chuckles. Captain: Whats the matter now? Charlie: "Little miss doorbanger?" Captain: Well, I still dont know your real name, so... *They both try to behave themselves, someone may come in while they were laughing.*
Charlie: My name is Charlie, if you want to know that. Captain. Charlie? Are you sure you are at the right side of the camp? I thought that they dont take guys as nurses! Charlie: I can assure you Im a girl my dear Einstein. I dont think even you at the soldiers side have these kind of bombs! *pushes her chest forward.* Captain: Point taken. Ok, your name is Charlie then. Is it a nickname? Charlie: Well, not really. My real name is Charlotte but I dont even recognize it. Im just Charlie and thats it. Captain: Where are you from? From the U.S? Charlie: No, London. Are you surprised? Captain: Well, you dont exactly look like a british lady *grins* Charlie: And you dont seem like a gent yourself...Oh my gosh, I have to start making the bacons and beans....Uhm, do you happen to know where they are? Captain: Yeah, sure. *Captain walks straight to almost hidden white door at the back of the kitchen. Its a big freezer room, which contains only tons of cans of beans and piles of bacon that seem bigger than life.
Charlie: Oh, boy...*starts collecting.* Captain: Tell me about it. You'd be pretty sick of this stuff after three years yourself. Charlie looks at him, holding few beancans and big packets of bacon and blinks her eyes. Charlie: You know, I didnt even think you properly for saving me and my friend. Thanks so much, you were very kind. Captain: Thats what I am, a prince kind in his shining armor. Now start cookin' sweetheart, there are about 500 hungry soldiers waiting for their breakfest! *Captain walks to the kirtchendoor and Charlie is already taking a fryingpan and thinking how she is going to manace all this when the captain calls her name.* Captain: Hey miss baconbean-Charlie...See ya. Charlie: Yep, see ya around. Althrough she was happy that she met the captain again, she cant help wondering: HOW ON EARTH SHE WAS GOING TO HANDLE THIS?!
****Jane****
Meanwhile Jane was standing in fron of supervisors desk, blinking her eyes. How come she havent thought that their supervisor was a human being as well? She takes a look at her paperpiles. Oh yeah, thats why... Jane, who usually doesnt think what she says starts to mumble and tries to think something to say. Almost like Charlie. Jane: Uhm...May I ask...what happened to him? Supervisor: Well, he was a soldier. We met long before wars. He was very handsome boy, my Edward and he was always so kind to me. We fell for each other...big time, like you'd probably say out the streets. And...well...then the war came and he got called to the army. Three monts after that I got a word that he was killed. He got hit, and the nurses couldnt save him. *Jane cant say anything, she cant even look supervisor to the eyes. She doesnt want to see does she cry or not.* Jane: I....I'm sorry to hear that. *Supervisor doesnt say anything, but Jane can hear a little voice. Maybe she was nodding.* Supervisor: After that I've wanted to be nurse. I want to help those unfortuned soldiers that their sweethearts dont have to get same word that I did. *Now Jane looks supervisor straight to the eyes. She sees that she is going to cry soon, but doesnt want to show it.* Jane: Uhm...May I go to take my breath? Supervisor: Sure miss Evelyn. Come back after fifteen minutes.
Jane walks to the offices door and opens it but stays still. She looks at somewhere. Jane: May I ask one last question.....Will you remember him? Supervisor isnt surprised, she knows what Jane means. Supervisor: He is with me no matter where I go. Sometimes I even look around at that big group of young soldiers and try to find my own Edward. Jane: I just want you to know that I know what you are talking about. I mean, I've never lost a boyfriend or anything like that but I lost my family when I was little. Im not gonna ever forget them althrough I cant remember too much. Supervisor just nodds and looks Jane with great sympathy and doesnt even correct her language. Supervisor: Come back when you are feeling better miss Evelyn. Jane: Yes supervisor. She closes the door, and althrough she doest listen closely, she can hear the supervisor crying.

***Charlie***
Right, how exactly does one girl serve breakfast to several hundred soldiers in less than an hour?! Charlie had now piled all the bacon and beans she thought she'd need out of the freezer- the pile was taller than her. Just then a few soldiers came bashing through the door-
Soldier:Hey! Where's the cook in here?! We're all waiting for breakfast out here you know - where are you?
Charlie:I'm behind here *she steps out from behind the bacons-and-beans- mountain* Look, there's only one of me - I don't know how I'm meant to feed all of you in time to- *suddenly,an idea hits Charlie* I know! You can help me!
Soldiers:Um, yeeeeeah....sure.....*The soldiers start to back towards the door, as slowly as they can...*
Charlie grabbed the nearest soldiers by their arms and dragged them over to the food.
Charlie:Here - *she throws each soldier a flowery apron*
Soldier:I'm not wearin' tha-
Charlie:Do you want breakfast? *soldiers mumble* Then wear it.
***Ten Minutes Later***
There are over 20 soldiers cooking, opening tins and preparing food in the kitchens now, Charlie is at the head of the operation - shouting orders, directing the soldiers...she had done what Jane would have done; she had taken control of the situation...Charlie grins - Jane would have been proud.
***Jane***
Standing in the rain, Jane shivered, but it was better than all that copying that waited for her inside the supervisor's office. The supervisor's tears had become quiet sniffles now, Jane still couldn't believe that the woman who had been so cold and unforgiving to herself and Charlie had actually lost a husband - a truly loved one at that...
More soldiers were now passing, some carrying stretchers,some supporting injured men as they limped by, Jane looked to watch; imagining the injured men's sweetheart,wife or even children learning about this.
Soldiers:Miss?Could you just help us for a sec? I've got a broken arm, and I'm tellin' you it ain't easy helpin' this guy with one arm-
Jane:Of course *she rushes over*
Taking the man's weight was not easy, but she'd managed to get all the way over to the soldier's side, the rain in her eyes, her arms around the injured man, when the man looked up-
Man:*Smiles weakly* Hello,you...
It was the man who had saved her - on the ship - he looked different now, paler, thinner and very,very tired...
Jane:Shhhh,shhh, you need your strength... *she tapped the soldier in front on the shoulder with one spare arm * Say, do you know what happened to this guy?
Soldier:Crocetti? He's lucky to be alive at all - got shot on his way to attack - fell in a shell hole ; close to leaving this life when he was found by a search party. He should be alright though - with enough rest and that.
Jane:Right,right...
They had made it into the soldiers' courtyard now, and the men all split up in different directions - Jane was left standing in the rain, the man clinging on to her -
Jane:You ok? I'll- *she looked desperately around for a soldier to ask- they had all vanished*
The man was silent - Jane realized he had passed out. The man's full weight now fell on Jane ; her legs gave way, and she and the man lay on the cold,wet floor in the rain - Jane felt hopeless - but she knew she had to get the poor guy inside, anywhere...
Jane:C'mon, mister, wake up, we gotta get you inside now.C'mon *she shakes the man's face, trying to bring him back* Mister! *she shakes the man's shoulders,hard*
Having shaken the man, poked him and attempted to lift him up, only to fall right back down, now stuck underneath the guy, Jane tried her last idea...
She felt him wake up as her lips touched his, and to her surprise, he kissed her back-
Jane:*pulls away* Now that you're conscious, could you try and maybe stand up? I'll help you-
With Jane's help, the man was able to push himself up, but Jane could feel his whole body shake through the effort.
Soldier:There you are Miss! Thought you two had gotten lost... Come on, I'll take him - Thanks for your help,lady.
Jane stood and watched as the man was helped inside, thinking about how different this second meeting had been...

***Charlie***
When the workhour was passed, every bacon was fryed and every bean was served to plates, Charlie left to the nursetraining. When she was leaving, the soldiers that helped her said a quick "Hi." Althrough they didnt say anything, Charlie was sure that they were enjoying cooking. And even if they didnt, she was still pround of herself. She had done something right. At least the soldiers knew now what kind of job women usually have. She didnt know where Jane was, maybe still re-writing. Poor girl. Oh well, she would hear about it when they were free to go. But then the thought was forgotten when Charlie got to the trainingcenter.
It was at the same building with the hospital, a big building between nurses and soldiers. When Charlie was stepping in, few nurses rushed out yelling something about spare blood. Oh dear, what kind of train this would be. Should she watch what others did at first or.... The trainingcenter was full of beds, where injured soldiers were laying. Lots of nurses were rushing from one place to another. They seem to know exactly what they were doing. Well, she didnt know a thing. What she was supposed to do now? Even before Charlie even realized, one of the nurses at the bed near yelled at her. Nurse: Hey, miss! Would you come here and help us, this bleeding must be stopped! Uh oh.....
Charlie: But, I cant....Im not... Nurse: I know exactly that you arent a nurse. Do you think that even half of these people are professionals? They are trainees too, and this is your training. So start to get trained! Charlie: *gulp* Yes miss.... Charlie came to next to the bed, where an injured soldier was laying. He was very skinny, pale and looked really bad. His stomach was covered with bandage, but the dark stain on it told that he was bleeding quite a lot. He didnt hold still when other nurses tryed to clean wounds on his face. He was in lot of pains, and Charlie started to feel really sorry for him and wanted to help him somehow. She just didnt know what to do. Other nurses seemed to know exactly what they were doing and Charlie couldnt do anything else than stand there looking stupid. Nobody didnt say what should she do. Suddenly one of the nurses from near bed called them. One of the nurses: Could someone give us a hand here? Soldier is having somekind of an panicattack here.
All the other nurses rushed to other bed, including Charlie, but she was called back. One of the nurses, really big and strong, looked her with anger. Nurse: You are staying right here. This soldier hasnt slept in a long time. You try to make him take his sleepingmedicine. We come back when we can. Charlie: Well, what should I.... But she didnt listen, just rushed off and left Charlie alone with injured soldier who was still moving around, making faces and crying silently from pain. She didnt have no idea what she was supposed to do. Charlie didnt know anything about medicines, especially about sleepingpills or anything like that so she didnt dare to try her luck as doctor Frankenstein doing humanexams. But the soldier was in really bad pains, and if he continued moving so much his wounds would open again. She started to think really hard what anybody else but her would do. Suddenly she remembered what her mother did when she was little and in so horrible stomachpains that she couldnt sleep. She started to sing nursery rhymes in her sweet, dark voice.
Charlie: Bye and bye and bye and bye, my little darlin' dont you cry.... She noticed that soldier stopped rolling and moving around so violently that she carried on, trying to sound even more sweet. Charlie: When and when and when and when, when you sleep it will be allright then... Soldier started to relax. He closed his eyes and his breathing started to get more steady. Even before Charlie knew it, he was asleep. When the nurses came back they wound Charlie sitting edge of the sleeping soldier's bed, singing quietly. They looked stunned. Nurse. Oh my gosh....He finally fell asleep. Charlie just smiled. She felt so good that she was capable to help the poor soldier. Now he would sleep and see peaceful and happy dreams, where he would be far away from reality and horrible war. Charlie: Maybe this wasnt a bad a idea after all...
***Jane***
When Jane got back to the supervisors office where supervisor was sitting behind her papers. Her crying was already stopped and she looked as peaceful as she always did. She looked Jane straight to the eyes, but didnt even say anything althrought she was really late. She was actually really glad about it because her hair and clothes were dripping from water and she didnt feel too good. She was relieved but just hoped that her re-writings wouldnt fall all over the paper. She carried on her re-writing and tried not to shiver from cold. She had been writing about three pages when supervisor raised her head and looked Jane symphatically. Supervisor: Did you get cold outside miss Evelyn? Your cheeks are getting really red. Maybe we should end this today. Jane: Well, if you dont mind..... Supervisor: Of course not, you may go now. Jane: Thank you very much, see you tomorrow. Supervisor: See you tomorrow, miss Evelyn. So off went Jane, shivering from her wet clothes but still cheeks bright red. Suddenly she didnt know was that because of the cold or their second meeting with soldier...

***Charlie****
It was almost 9 o'clock... Where was Jane?! Maybe that awful supervisor had made her re-write even more...But Charlie hardly had anytime to stop and think of Jane - she was flying around the infirmary, helping wherever she could, cleaning wounds,changing beds; even doing more singing to the restless soldiers.
Nurse:Miss Taylorson? Could you sing something for this man? I think he needs it - he's going into surgery in half an hour.
Charlie:Of course.*she walks over to the bed - the soldier is a mess - half of his leg is missing, his arms are bandaged, his eyes are swollen...*
Charlie gave a small gasp as she saw how bad the infection around the man's leg was- she looked away.
Charlie:Any song you'd like to hear?
Soldier: Sure - howsa' bout something Italian? That's always good for cheerin' a fella' up...
Charlie:*laughs* Ok... um...let's see here....Something dramatic maybe?...Now how's it go... *sings* Ma n'atu sole cchiu' bello, oi ne'. 'o sole mio sta 'nfronte a te! ‘o sole, ‘o sole mio...-What's the nex-
Voice:*sings* sta 'nfronte a te, sta 'nfronte a te...
Charlie sat and listened to this voice, thinking about everything ; the war,the soldiers, Jane... But no matter how hard she tried to concentrate on these things, an image kept popping back into her head...Captain Lewis and her... back in that tiny compartment.. just alone with each other...
***Jane***
Walking over to the soldiers' infirmary, Jane couldn't help but feel bad for how she had thought of the Supervisor - of course she was human - she had emotions, she had feelings- Suddenly, Jane realized she was hearing music... from the infirmary?! Walking faster, she heard the words being sung in a deep, clearly male voice; and then a very familiar voice joined in too - Charlie. Jane ran into the room as fast as she could - she wasn't missing out on a party ; even if it was in an infirmary!
Everyone : 'O Sole Mio....
Charlie:*shouts over the noise*Jane! *she hugs Jane*You made it - was the Supervisor being her usual cow of a self?
Jane:Hi Charlie - no,no she was actually ok... I think we were wrong abo- *smiles* Wait just a sec, Miss Taylorson...what's going on here?A party? Without me! *Jane looks shocked and then laughs at Charlie's face*
Charlie:*laughs* No, just trying to cheer up the men- it really helps ; singing, I mean-
Jane:I can see that - they all look like they're enjoying themselves- *the soldiers are now all laughing and singing their hearts out* Say, who was that guy singing right before I came in? He had a great voice-
Charlie: Mmm, I know - I hadn't actually found out yet; come with me and we'll find out...
After asking a few men, they are pointed in the direction of a bed at the other end of the room, and as they do, the voice starts to sing again and the whole room stops to listen...
Voice: *sings* Quanno fa notte e 'o sole Se ne scenne, Me vene quase 'na malincunia....
Jane:*Stops as she sees the soldier up close*
Charlie:*whispers* Jane? What the...
The soldier stops singing when he sees Jane, and a complete silence falls over the room. Then... The soldier grins, and Jane smiles back, walking over.
Jane:You look better! How are you?
Soldier: Much better...now.... I'm having surgery tomorrow they tell me; it's my leg, but they think they can save it.
Jane:Good, I'm glad *smiles, but still notices how thin and pale the man is* Have you met my friend?*turns to Charlie* Charlie, this is Private... Crocetti-
Charlie:Real nice meetin' you - Charlie Taylorson - nurse; well, sort of...*she grins*
Crocetti:Pleasure, Miss Taylorson ; and beautiful singing you did there.
Charlie:Aw, thanks - you too!
Jane:It sure was great - can I ask, Private Crocetti -
Crocetti: Call me Dino, I can't stand all this Private business...
Jane:Ok...Dino *she blushes at using the name* Can I ask if you ever sing professionally?
Dino;Sure - well, sort of ; I was just beginning before, it all, you know, started... But I've asked the Captain Lewis if I can do some performances for the guys sometimes maybe, to just kinda' lighten the mood, if you get me?
Charlie:That's a great idea - you really had everyone enjoying themselves back then...
Jane:That really would be great! Charlie - you know the Captain - couldn't you mention it to him sometime maybe? I'm sure he'd listen to you...
Charlie:*blushes* Oh,um,I can ask..I dunno if he'll listen... But...I'll give it a go...
Dino:Ah....
Charlie:What?
Dino:You're the Miss Taylorson then? I'm a pal of Lewis' - he came to see me a while ago- telling me all about how you saved the day this morning with the cooking - he sounded really impressed; he talked about you- I mean what you did, the whole time...
Charlie:Really?I mean, of course, he probably had nothing else to talk about...
Jane:*whispers to Charlie* Sure, a whole war going on, and nothing to talk about but you...
Charlie:*elbows Jane*Well, we better be back to work.
Dino: Can I just ask,Miss- what's your name?
Jane:Mine? Oh, Jane Evelyn- why?
Dino: I wanted to know who to ask for...
Charlie:Come on Jane...

After few hours of singing, cleaning and changing girls finally got permission to leave. The night was getting darker and colder and they were both getting tired. They have been really busy. Many new soldiers came in and many left to the surgerys. Girls tried especially to cheer them up, singing happy and funny songs, sometimes together and alone. Finally Charlies throat was getting so sore that she couldnt sing too loud, so she hymned along when Jane sang.When they finally finished, soldiers gave them huge applause, whistling and saying that they are their favouritenurses. Girls make a bow and smile at them all. When they are heading to the main nurse to get a leavingpermisson, she looks at them both little astonished. Nurse: One thing I have to say about you girls...Neither of you isnt the most promising nurse we've ever had, but oh boy, you sure can cheer the boys up. Girls smile at eachother. Jane: Well, what else did you expect from us? At this time Charlie doesnt say anything t correct her, just smiles. They get their permission and off they go, to the cold nightair. When they get out, the darkness has covered everything, and made the area soft and beautiful. The stars were sparkling above them.
Girls stayed there without saying a word. When they were little, about five years old, Charlies' big brother helped girls to climb to the roof of Taylors' little aparment, to look at the stars. Then he teached them that whenever you wished something from a star, it would come true for sure. Jane took Charlies hand in her own and squeezed her hand lovingly. She remembered too. They both remembered. After they lost their families girls would come to dark, cold, starry night, to take few minutes to just watch the stars and make their wish. They had wished so many things over the years; getting something they really wanted, getting off school, finding their own aparment. Somebody could maybe think that it was childish to still wish something from a star, but they both belieed it really helped. When Charlie turned her head, she saw Janes' mouth moving. She was wishing. Jane: I wish that private Crocetti....I mean Dino..why that name makes me feel little dizzy...Great voice, good-looking, you know....That he survives the surgery and will be allright. Could you please make sure that he will be allright? Pretty please? Charlie decided to wish too, but she didnt know what to wish. The ending of the war would be far too much for a one little star but maybe something easier.... Charlie: I wish that I could meet captain Lewis again soon that I could...tell about Crocettis' performance you know. Could you be a darling and arrange it for me?...please?
When girls wishes were wished, they just smiled each other a little and started to walk towards the nursinghome again. Hopefully they would have something else to dinner than just soup or something like that. Charlie would be fine with everything except bacon and beans. She would see them more than enough tomorrow again. When they were getting to the nursehome, they noticed that captain Lewis was talking to the guards, looking pretty strickt. Jane: Well, that was quick work. Charlie: Whaddaya mean? Jane: That star made its work even more quickly than usual *winks* Charlie: Aw, shudup *blushes* Uhm, did you hear what I wished? Where you reading my thoughts again? Jane: I'd never do that...Althrough you make it so easy... *Girls giggle at eachother and Jane pushes her with her elbow.* Jane: Go for it girl, Im going to get some food. I'll take tray for ya. Charlie: Why do I always have to do these kind jobs...*whines* Jane: Because you have your own special way to keep captain Lewis on your side...*blows a little kiss.* Charlie: You still want me to go there, eh? Jane: I dont want but the pri-... Charlie: Yeah yeah, for the sake of your beloved Dino I'll go. Keep my tray warm!
So Charlie walked down to gate, feeling little dizzy already. It was probably because she havent been eating anything in hours. Yeah, that was probably it. She swallowed couplem of times, blinked her eyes and walked straight toi captain. The guards looked at her like an exotic animal but she didnt even look at them. When captain turned around, he smiled at her surprised. Captain: Well hello cooknurse Taylorson, what brings you here? Charlie: I have something to ask...Its official, really. Captain: Of course, lets go to my office. Oh, that seemed ok, she could ask about Crocettis' performing without others hearing...AT HIS OFFICE?!

***Charlie***
She stepped up to the office door behind the Captain, looking at the big letters painted on the door -'Captain J.Lewis'. She wondered what the 'J' stood for...Not that she would ever get to call the Captain by his first name...
Captain: Hang on a sec, this door always gets stuck...And we're not allowed to waste oil on things like th- *he pulls hard on the door,it doesn't move* On things like this.
Charlie:*laughs*Well,couldn't you work in there - *she points to a small shed on the edge of the soldiers' muddy training field*
Captain:I could, but that's the toilet.
Charlie:Oh...
Captain:This door just doesn't wanna budge-
Charlie:Let me help - we can both push...
Captain:Right.One...Two...Three...* the door flies open and they both fall on the floor*
Charlie: *looks down, and finds herself nose-to-nose with the captain* I'm awfully sorry! I shouldn't have...
Captain:*grins up at Charlie* No problem, Miss Taylorson...
*neither tries to move, they stay silent for a moment, just staring at each other*
Captain:As much as I like you,Miss Taylorson, it is quite filthy down here on the floor and...
Charlie: *keeps staring at the Captain, as though she is in a deep trance* Wha- *jumps up* I'm awfully sorry....again!
Captain:That's quite alright. Now, how can I help you? * he looks hopefully up at her*
Charlie:Well, it's actually not for me, it's about Private Crocetti-*the Captain looks blank* It's about Dino, I mean.
Captain:Oh... *he rolls his eyes* So he's getting to me through you now is he... *mumbles*I knew I shouldn't have said anything...
Charlie:Pardon?
Captain: Nothing. Now, I suppose he wants you to ask me to set up a show - so he can perform?*Charlie nods* Well, I told him before - we just can't do it. We haven't got the time or the money ; as much as I'd love to do it, I just can't waste our resources...
Charlie:But Captain! You've got to! Think how much it would help the men, they need a boost - haven't you seen the state some of them are in?
Captain: I-
Charlie: Captain, think of it as your duty; if the men can't raise their spirits at all, then they won't be able to fight, we won't be able to win any battles, we won't win the war!
Captain: Bu-
Charlie:Do you want that, Captain? Do you want to be responsible for losing the war?
Captain:Well, I hardly think -
Charlie:Do you?! * she grabs his hands*
Captain:No. *he looks up at Charlie* Miss Taylorson, you've persuaded me.
Charlie:*surprised* I have?
Captain:*laughs* You sure have. Where did you learn to fight like that?
Charlie:Oh, I have a friend...
Captain: Anyway, shall we get down to arranging this performance?
Charlie: *still in shock* Er...Yeah! Lets get started...
Captain:I think it'll have to be in a few weeks,we need all the men here at the moment...
***Jane***
Sitting eating, an empty space on the bench next to her, Jane prayed that Charlie would be able to convince Captain Lewis...If it would help Dino feel better....
*Charlie comes running in*
Jane:*Grabs Charlie* Did you do it? Did he say yes?
Charlie: *grins proudly* Yep.
Jane:Charlie!!! *she nearly suffocates Charlie in a bear hug*
Charlie:*laughs, and grins even more* It can't be for a few weeks though, but we're going to meet up a few times a week to arrange everything so it's a perfect night for everyone!
Jane: That's great! And... you can get to know Captain Lewis a bit... better *winks*
Charlie: Well, I never would have thought of that *laughs* He was the one who asked to meet-
Jane: There can't be that much arranging to do...

At the next morning Jane woke up before Charlie, getting ready to her punishment-writinghour. She pulls her jumper over head, and starts wondering. Charlie would go to her nursetraining at ten, she would see Dino there....Hmm.... She starts to wake Charlie up, she mumbles and tries to kick her before she finally wakes up. She blinks her eyes blindly and looks around like a bat that went straight to bright light. Charlie: Uhm, what is it....Did we got bombed? Jane: No. Charlie: Are the soldiers marching shirtless? Jane: I WISH, but no. Charlie: Did the war stop? Jane: Still no. Charlie: Oh, good night then. She turns around and pulls her head under the covers. Jane walks at the other head of her bead and pulls it up that Charlie fells off the bed with her blanket and pillow. People at the next room can hear the huge THUD ( ) she makes when she fells. Jane: Wake UP! Charlie: This is torture! What was so %#&¤ important that you had to wake me up at this hour?! Jane: Thanks honey, I love ya too. And watch your language or the soldiers learn bad habits! I was wondering would you be interested to change places? When I get away from my punishment I'll come to cover you to your nursetraining and you can go to visit captain. Charlie: Oh, is that so... She yawns deeply, rubs her eyes and gets up to get her jumper and worser pants. The bacon left stains easily. Charlie: And why would you do it? Because you have such a golden heart or because you are such a sweet and caring pers-....Ooh, private Crocetti!! *Jane suddenly becomes really red* Jane: Well....Yeah. I'd like to tell him that the show is going to happen....Could cheer him up a lot... Charlie: Could cheer HIM up a lot, eh? *giggles* Ok, sure. Come cover up for me when you get away. Jane: Gee, thanks Charlie. I mean...Ok then. I'll see ya later. Charlie: Yeah, see ya. So off goes Jane, wondering how could she wait at the end of her punishment...But suddenly even that didnt seem so awful when the prize was to get meet Dino again. Many nurses-to-be she passed while walking down the hallway could suddenly hear her whistling. Charlie was left at their room alone. She was already tying her hair up when she stopped at the front of the mirror to think for a minute. Then she changes the worser pants to better ones. Maybe the bacon wouldnt stain too much today.... ***Jane*** When Jane finally got to the supervisors' door and knocked once or twice. She waited couple of seconds and hear the supervisors' voice behind it. She walked straight in. Supervisor was sitting behind her desk and wrote something. Jane: Good morning supervisor. Supervisor: Good morning miss Evelyn. You have lots to write today. Jane: Even more than yesterday? Supervisor: Im afraid so, miss Evelyn. Lots of men got killed yesterday after the attack that hit to our frontline. Jane: Oh.....Poor guys. Supervisor: Yes, well....You should get writing that we can announce this terribly sad event to their families. Jane: *little sigh* Yes supervisor. She didnt actually know what was worser: that the poor guys' family would get a horrible letter from the military, telling that their son or brother or husband had died or that they would worry sick for nothing. She sat behind her small desk again, and noticed that there was a can of cold water and a glass next to her. She looked amazed at the supervisor who was already writing again. She shook her head even more amazed and opened her book. Even re-writing didnt seem too bad..... ***Charlie*** The guys seemed already got used to Charlie when she walked next to their tables. Few of the guys followed her already like a child follows his mother. They walked to the kitchen and without any whining they started cookin', Charlie happily arranging and picking huge packets of bagon. She also found some eggs from the huge freezer, some leftovers from yesterday's meal and guys got fried eggs with their bacon, and she made special omelettes to guys who helped her. When she gave them to soldiers when they were leaving back to their diningroom, they looked at her amazed. One of the soldiers: Gee, you are pretty fair for a cook, miss. Thanks. Charlie *smiles*: Aren't I always? Now run along guys, I must get to my training. Once again she was walking along the road to the hospital to sing and help the injured, and felt happy for the first time in weeks.

***Jane***
Supervisor:That should be enough now,Miss Evelyn,thank you.
Jane: *stretches her legs out from under the desk* Wasn't too bad today - time flies when you're having fun!
Supervisor:*laughs* Same time, same place tomorrow then. Off you go.
Jane:*walks to the door* It's a date - see you later, Miss.
As soon as she had shut the door to the Supervisor's office behind her, Jane sprinted as fast as should could over to the soldier's side...and Private Crocetti's side...
***Charlie***
Nurse: Fetch some more bandages please, Miss Taylorson. it's time you learnt how to do this yourself - we haven't got enough nurses to help everyone at the moment.
Charlie:Ok, where are the-
*Jane flies through the door*
Nurse:*grabs Jane's arm as she tries to dash past* Miss Evelyn! This is a hospital ward, not a 100 metre dash! You can come and learn how to bandage a wound properly too *Jane tries to pull free* Now, now Miss Evelyn-
Charlie: C'mon Janey, you can see lover-boy in a minute ; this is important.
Jane:S'pose...
Charlie:Here, take these *hands her some bandages*.
Nurse:Ok, first of all-
*the door opens, everyone in the whole ward stops what they're doing to watch as Captain Lewis enters*
Nurse:*blushes* Why, Captain Lewis! What a surprise, and a pleasure! How may I hel-
Captain: *walks in casually and cooly* I've just come to visit a friend, excuse me.*sees Charlie* Oh Mi- *CRASH* *falls over two trays,an empty bed,a box of bandages and finally falls on Charlie, who falls backwards under the force*
Charlie: Gosh! Are you ok, Jer- I mean Captain Lewis?
Captain:Um...*rubs head* Sure...Looks like I'm the one on top this time...
Charlie:No problem *they both get up*
Jane:*nudges Jane* Looks like you've really *cough* fallen for each other!
Charlie goes red, and kicks Jane from behind a bed, so no-one sees
Jane:Ouch!
Captain: What's the matter, Miss Evelyn?
Jane:*glares at Charlie* Nothing, thanks, erm... just a ache I've got in my shoulders...
Charlie:So who are you here to see, Captain?
Captain: Oh, Dino - Private Croectti. I was gonna tell him about the conce-
Jane: I'll go tell him for you!!
The Captain and Charlie walk and Jane skips over to the other end of the room where Dino's bed is...
Jane:*sees that Dino is asleep* Um, Dino? Dino?
Captain:*grabs a pillow and starts hitting Dino over the head* DEEEAAAAANNNNNN!!
Dino:Huh?! It weren't me, I swear on my mama's life! I swea- Oh.You. *sees Captain and makes as if to go back to sleep* And you...*sees Jane and sits up* Now, how can I help you?
Captain:Typical. We got news for you Dino boy! Guess what.
Dino: You've learnt to tie your shoelaces?
Captain:No...that was last week.
Dino:Course s'was, how could I forget something like that? *both Dino and the Captain make claws with their hands and do a silent 'Grrr' at each other*
Jane: Wegottheconcertinafewweekswe'realloweditdino!Ican'twaitit'sgoingtobegreat-
Dino: Wow, wow, slow down honey...
Jane: *blushes* We've got the concert.
Dino:Really?! You're not kidding?
Captain:Nope. We it's gonna happen. Me and Charlie are planning it already - should happen in a few weeks from now.
Charlie:It really is going to be great! *grins at the Captain* Why don't we get started on planning the music Captain?
Captain:*grins back* Of course, let's go to my office and get organizing...Oh, Miss Evelyn was having a pain in her shoulders, Dino - too much tension if you ask me - why don't you give her one of your famous massages?
The Captain and Charlie leave together, both looking forward to all that planning ahead...
Dino: Now, we can't have that Miss Evelyn - sit down and I'll work my magic...

***Charlie***
When Charlie and Captain got to his office, the door opened after few pushes. Captain leads her in and closes it. Charlie doesn't know where to sit but Captain goes to sit behind his table and Charlie sits to chair in front of the table. She is little nervous, small butterflies fly at her stomach. All alone with captain, how wonderful... Captain: OK miss Charlie, we should get this thing organized....We should think about the the time, the place and what kind of performance it would be.... Charlie: Um, shouldn't you talk about the performance with Dino? Captain: Oh I'm going to talk about THAT performance with him. But I AM going to talk to you about the performance of you girls. Charlie: Do you mean that.... Captain: Yep. We should get you girls on stage too. All the injured soldiers at the hospital have been talking so much about your guys' singing' that your performance with Dino would be a blast! Charlie: OH CAPTAIN!!
Before Charlie even notices it she has stood up and hugs captain over the table. Then she notices what she is doing, blushes and lets him go. Captain just smiles at her. Captain: So I can say that you both agreed? Charlie: What? Oh yes captain, that would be so wonderful! We'd love to do it! I know that Jane is going to agree too, especially when Dino is in it too.... *They are silent for few seconds and smile at each other.* Captain: Brilliant, now I can mark to my papers that you girls are performing.... Captain is about to write something to his papers when he looks up to Charlie. Captain: And just one more thing my favorite nurse, forget that old Captain-thing. Call me Jerry. Charlie's face lights up even more. Charlie: Sure. Captain *smiles*: Good. Now let's take a look at the plans shall we? Our meeting hall at the soldiers' side would be big enough....
***Jane***
Jane sits at the edge of Dino's bed (being careful with his sore leg) when he gently rubs her shoulders. She had been pretty tense actually and she noticed it now. She shivered when she felt her shoulders relax and tried not to moan because that would sound pretty bad for nurses' ears. Dino: Are your shoulders getting better honey? Jane: Better than ever, Dino.... She blushes and closes her mouth. Why she blushes so easily nowadays? Dino notices and changes the subject, still rubbing her shoulders. Dino: That concert-thing....It's great. I've been wishing for a long time that it would come real. You must have seen much trouble for me. Jane: Oh it was all Charlie...And it was her pleasure, you can be sure of that. Dino chuckles and nods: I guess so. Jane: How do you know captain anyway? Dino: Well, we are old pals. We kid around a lot... Jane: Before the war? Dino: Yeah. They are both quiet awhile.
Jane: Did you do that...Professionally? Dino: The kidding around? We had few nightclub-acts but then the forces came along and we had to call it a break. Jane: Oh really.... Dino: Yeah. Well, cant help. He is a captain and I'm a private so we have different kind of official relations now. We are locked up here until either of us dies or the war ends. I'm suspecting the first opinion more. Jane: Don't talk like that, it's scary. Nothing is going to happen. How's your leg? Dino: Oh it's great thanks. Soon I can rise and shine again, don't you worry about that. Jane: I'm not.... But still she puts her thumbs up. You can't never be too careful......

The next few weeks flew past for the girls - Jane got used to, and even started to enjoy her hours of copying out with the Supervisor,and then working in the wards, with Dino's singing,Charlie had her weekly meetings with the Captain...Which were slowly became more like daily meetings - there was always something he wanted to ask her about or to check with her ; even if they only just discussed it the day before...
Soon, it was the night before the show, and the girls were alone in their room...
Jane:*brushing teeth*Everything planned for tomorrow then?
Charlie: *climbing into bed*Yep, everything's set;I reckon it's gonna be great!
Jane:You sure everything's ready?
Charlie:Yes.... Why...?
Jane:It's just that, you know, with all those extra 'planning' session you and the captain have been having,I thought you might have been doing other things, stuck together in that little roo-
*Charlie throws her pillow at Jane*
Jane: *laughs devilishly* Now, now, Miss Taylorson, it wasn't meant like that...
Charlie:Yes, well...*blushes* Ah! But how about you and Dino! *Jane blushes too* See - got you... At least I actually have time to talk to the Captain - you never get the chance, with all the work you have to in the wards.
Jane:*mumbles* I wouldn't know what to say anyway...
Charlie:*laughs* What? You - Jane Evelyn - unable to talk?! Never.
Jane: Well, we'll see tomorrow night, won't we - me and Dino, you and the Captain... I'm sure we'll have some time together...
***Dino's Ward***
Dino sits by the window, watching each drop of rain glide down the glass...
Dino: *looks around the ward - everyone's alseep* Hey, anyone wanna sing with me? I need some practice for tomorrow night-
Jerry:*walks into the ward* Sure, I'll sing with you pally!*starts to sing like...well...like Jerry*
Dino:*rolls eyes* I should have known...
Jerry:*mock horror* Sir! You dare insult ma voice? I do believe I have the finest voice in all the south!
Dino: Ma apologies son, you do have a mighty purrrrrdy voice!
Jerry:*laughs* Remember when we used to do that act at the club- *sees Dean's face*
Dino: Yeah. I remember. Before all this.* in a moment of silence, both men understand exactly how the other is feeling*
Jerry: Anyway, show tomorrow, how you feelin' Dino ol' boy?
Dino: Ok - haven't done this for so long though...
Jerry:It'll come back to you - and to me, I hope...
Dino: *looks up at Jerry's face and grins* Are you really comin' on,Jer? We gonna be together again?
Jerry:Yup. Me and you performin together, Dean...If you want?
Dino:*jumps up, then winces as feels the pain from his leg* Sure I want to Jer; it'll be just peachy!
Jer:*laughs, then puts on his 5-year-old voice* Mmmhmmm! Sterling, peachy and keen! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
***6 o'clock, the next day***
Jane and Charlie are just finishing their shifts in the ward; they have been given leave for the evening to prepare for the show.
Jane: I'm off now, Dean...*slips through the curtains to see him and finds him sitting on the bed with his shirt off*Oh, I'm-I'm sor-sorry...*stares at him, open-mouthed*
Dino: Huh?*sees Jane staring* Oh- Sorry, I'll make myself decent-Just getting ready for tonight.. *he pulls on a shirt* You off to get ready ?
Jane:*manages to shut her mouth, but still stares at his bare chest underneath the unbuttoned shirt* Um...Yes.
Dino: Ahh,so your room will be full of make-up, dresses,shoes and squeals for the next few hours?
Jane:Pretty much *laughs*
Dino:Remind me not to go near your room.
Charlie: Janey, you ready to go?
Jane: *turns around and puts her head through the curtain* Sure, just dealing with one problem patient -
Dino: Hey! I ain't a problem - *takes Jane's hand and spins her round* am I ?*grins up at her*
Jane:*swallows* No...no you're not...*puts her hands to his face*You sure need a shave though-
*Charlie suddenly pushes through the curtains with a trolley full of medicine, pushing Jane forwards*
Charlie:*sees Jane lying on top of Dino, his shirt open, her hands around his neck*Oh! I am sorry!!
Jane:*blushes deeply* Like I said, you need a shave before tonight, Dean... *straightens up* I'll , erm, see you tonight then...
Charlie:Needs a shave does he? You should know! And in work hours too -
Jane:You and your stupid trolley pushed me!
Charlie:Huh-
Captain: *enters ward as the girls are leaving* Oh, hi girls - ready for tonight?
Charlie:We sure ar-* gets pushed forwards into the captain* Ja-
Jane:Oh, you must have slipped, Charlie, come on, we'd better go - see you tonight, Captain.*she goes out*
Charlie: Sorry, I must have slipped...
Captain:You fall over an awful lot don't you, Charlie! *laughs*
Charlie: *feels like killing Jane* Just clumsy I guess! See you later Jerry!
***Outside***
Jane: *bursts out laughing*
Charlie:That wasn't funny!!
Jane: Trust me - it was.
Charlie:Well... *smiles*

It's two hours 'till the show and girls are at their room getting ready. Whole room smells like perfume, hairspray and nail polish. Jane is painting her lips with lipstick and Charlie is throwing her dresses all over the room, trying to find one beautiful enough. Charlie: What on earth I'm going to wear? They all look horrible on me! Jane looks at Charlie for a long time when she runs at the room, fitting one dress after another, pulling her hair and cursing. She wondered what on earth was wrong with her. Charlie was never worried how did she look like. Suddenly Jane realizes to ask something. Jane: Are you scared? Charlie: Me? Don't be silly, how could I be scared...We have done this thousands of times before. Jane: Yeah, but at the streets and without a big audience staring at us. Charlie: You are trying to make this so much easier, don't you... Jane: So you are scared. Charlie stops like she had hit the wall and stares straight to Jane. Charlie: Well...yeah. You're right, I'm scared. Are you going to laugh now? Silently Jane walks to Charlie and takes Charlie's face to her hands. Jane: No. I'm not. *Charlie looks down, Jane makes her look back.* Jane: It's going to be all right Charlie, believe me. Charlie: But what if I forget the lines? Jane: You wont. And if you do, so what? We'll invent them. Easy-peasy. Charlie: I guess so. Jane: That's my sis. Take that black dress with that green jewel-thingy at the waist. It fits perfectly to your beautiful emerald eyes. Charlie: You'd do anything to get me on that stage, wouldn't you? Jane: That's right. Now get ready miss Taylorson, we don't want to keep the guys waiting.
Girls get their selves to the backstage of the soldiers' meeting hall. About hundred soldiers is already outside, shivering at the cold wind, hoping to get front seats. Guys aren't there yet so girls decide to practice their singing. Jane: I'm in the mood for love, simply because you're near me... Charlie: Funny, but when you're near me... Dino: I'm in the mood for loooooveee...... Girls turn around and see Dino at the door singing. Jane smiles and blushes. Charlie grins and doesn't know where to look at. Jane looks at Dino at his dark suit and greasy hair and blushes even more. He looks so handsome. Jane: Hey, where supposed to sing that song! Dino: I just helped you girls a little, I know how to get handsome soldiers to your side... *Girls giggle and captain steps in.* Captain: Already giggling girls, eh? I thought you were going to wait till end of the show! He looks very different without all his medals, much more like ordinary guy. Very HANDSOME ordinary guy at his own dark suit.
Dino: Oh, look who it is! The joyboy himself! Already nervous, dear captain? Captain: Only reason I'm nervous is that I have to be at the same stage with you my dear. Hope the nurses are going to tend my wounds if something happens. Jane: Oh, I'm sure that you can get Charlie to tend your wounds easily.... *Charlie steps on her foot and blushes. Captain and Dino chuckle. Then they all hear voices behind the curtains and Dino goes to watch.* Dino: Better stop laughing now and get ready, the forces are coming in! Charlie: ......help. Jane: Eep. Captain: Ladies and gentlemen, it's show time!
Captain walks on stage with huge applauses. He takes the microphone and says few quick thanks to the audience and starts the show. Captain: Welcome all of you who used this show as an excuse to get from the dinner. I don't blame you, it would have been beans and bacon anyway.... *Laughing* Captain: I'd love to babble more here but the Italian private grows steady to the ground if he doesn't get to sing his number so give a warm welcome to our own Dino Crocetti! *Dino steps from the curtains and starts to sing O Sole Mio. Girls look at the show from the curtains and wait their turn. After the number crowd whistles and claps.* Dino: Thank you, thank you very much....How are you, ol' boy? Captain: I feel just swell ol' man. Dino: Wonderful. Would you like to help me at this introducing-thing? Captain: What, you haven't learned it yet? Dino: I learned to count last week, you can't expect everything from me! Captain: Well, that's true. Few ladies and lots of gentlemen and few monkeys, I'd like you to meet the sweet, sweet girls who make our injuring little more easier to stand: miss Jane Evelyn and miss Charlie Taylorson!
Girls walk to the stage with huge whistling and clapping storm. Girls smile and boys go to conduct the orchestra (few musical guys) and girls start their singing. Jane: A long time ago, A million years before WC....I mean BC.... *Soldiers laugh* Charlie: The best things in life were absolutely free... Jane: But no one appreciated, a sky that was always blue... Charlie: And no one congratulated.... Both: A moon that was always new--- BAM!!
The whole song stops. Girls look behind them and see Jerry holding the symbals innocently and Dino sitting in front of him, holding his head. Orchestra looks down at them and so do girls and they both crack up giggling hysterically. All the nervousness is gone, they both feel so happy. Jer helps Dino up and asks: Are you all right, Harry? Dino: I'm just peachy Sydney. Would you give me the symbals? Jerry: No, you are gonna hit me again! Charlie: Hey guys, we are supposed to do a song here! Dino: Oh sorry ladies, please continue. Jane: Thank you very much. We have to get this through, you know. And if you interrupt us even once at this number its march, one hour. Both of you. *Crowd laughs hysterically*
Girls are just about to start their song when suddenly...

The captain grabs Charlie and starts whirling her around, not wanting to miss out, Dino grabs Jane and the orchestra goes into a tango... The Captain lets go of Charlie and grabs Dino instead, and the two do a dramatic tango-the girls step back and join in the crowd's laughter...
Dino: Hey, I've had enough of you, Edna *he nods at the orchestra and they begin a slow dance* Right, everyone, up and dance - just push the seats outta' the way and grab girl...*he takes Jane's hand*
Captain:This one's mine... *he pulls Charlie over to him*
Charlie:*whispers*This is amazing - you and Dino are brilliant!
Captain:*whispers*So are you...
Charlie:*giggles* Do you two plan to perform together after ...after the war, I mean?
Captain:I hope so - I think Dino does too, but he's so hard to read...Anyway, let's talk about you- do you plan to perform after the war?
Charlie:*shrugs* No idea - I want to, but the streets are getting more and more dangerous, and we hardly made enough money to live by... but I love it... You know when you get that great feeling - knowing your doing something you were born to do?
Captain:Sure, I get that when I'm performing too - and whenever I'm... with you...
Charlie:*blushes* Would you stop with all the flirting?
Captains: Gee, girls have sure changed - I used to think flirting was what they liked; tell me, what do they like now then?
Charlie: Oh, I don't know...
The couples continue to dance, the rest of the men and women are all laughing,dancing and enjoying themselves below the stage too.
Dino:You're a good dancer, Miss Evelyn, where'd you learn?
Jane:Wait a sec, where's all this 'Miss Evelyn' coming from? It was Jane back in the ward...
Dino: Well, you know, after that accident we had back in the wards, I thought I should try and restore some manners to our relationship...
Jane:*looks down, ashamed*It wasn't my fault - the trolley; it pushed -
Dino:*chuckles, and lifts her head* I'm just kiddin' with ya...Here - *lifts her hands to his face* See, I had a shave-
The two stare at each other for a moment, both forgetting the rest of the crowds,the rest of the world - Dino slowly begins to lean in. . .
Voice: Officers, this is an emergency call - you are to return to the barracks at once to receive further orders - there has been a surprise attack at the front, and reinforcements are needed desperately. Nurses, please all return to the wards at once - you will also receive further orders.
The crowd broke apart, the men all starting to run back to the barracks, in silence - all of them knowing what was coming - the front line,the enemy, bullets, bombs, trenches... The nurses had also started dashing off to the wards - in less then a minute, the whole place was cleared out except for Jane,Dino,Charlie and the Captain - who had all frozen as they danced.
Captain: We better go, Dean.
Charlie:*clings on to the captain,her eyes filled with tears* You'll be back, won't you? Promise me you'll be back, Jerry.
Captain:I can't - I... *he sees the tears flowing down her cheeks* I promise - I'll come back to you.*he gives her a tight hug, and turns to go*Dean-
Dino:Right. *he looks at Jane* I gotta go,Miss Evelyn *he kisses her forehead* I'll see you- soon.*he turns to follow the Captain*
Jane: Dino...
Jane walked over to Charlie, and the two girls stood, watching the two men running off into the darkness, into the war again, and maybe into death-
Jane:*puts her arm around Charlie* They'll be back - both of them. I just know it, Charlie, I just know it.
Charlie: *puts her hand on Jane's resting on her shoulder* I hope you're right.
***The girl's room***
The girls had gone to the wards, but they weren't needed - so now they lay on their beds, trying to act normally...
Charlie: Say, Jane look at this dress *she points to a page in a magazine* Hey, Jane! Look -
Jane:Sure, pretty...
Charlie: Janey - we have to be strong; I feel it just as much as you do... *she gets up and hugs Jane*
Jane:You're right, we have to -What time is it?
Charlie:11 o'clock...*suspicious*Why?
Jane:Ok, would you think I was totally mad if I told you I had a plan to let us stay with the guys?
Charlie:Yes, I would. But tell me anyway...
***ten minutes later***
Sergeant: Ok, men - everyone here?
Soldiers:Yes,sir.
Sergeant: Right- as you pass through the gates, you'll be registered -when you're registered you'll be told which truck your in. Let's go...
The soldiers all formed a line, and men started to pass through the gates,and climb into the awaiting trucks...
Registrar: Name, regiment and number?
Dino: Private Dino Paul Crocetti, Regiment AS7, number 007450.
Registrar: Right next...
Charlie: *whispers* This so isn't going to work, Jane!
Jane:*puts a finger to her lips* Shhh!
Charlie: Look - how many soldiers do you know who wear red nail varnish!!
Jane: *looks at her hands* Ooop... They won't notice...Remember - I'm Frank Stallone, and you're-
Charlie: Charlie Jones... Couldn't I have at least changed it-
Registrar:Next! Name, regiment and number please?
Charlie: *lowers voice*Charlie Jones, regiment AS7, number 008564
Registrar:Next! Name,regiment and number please.
Jane: Frank Peter Stallone , regiment AS7, number 009743
Registrar: Next!
Charlie has already been shown to a truck, and Jane follows, trying to walk as masculinely as she can... which isn't easy for a girl like her...
Charlie:*pulls Jane up into the truck* I can't believe we're in... That was way too easy...
Jane:Shhh - look, there's the Captain- and...Dino...
Charlie:We better not talk to them until we get there...
***Three hours later***
The truck pulls in at the soldiers sleeping quarters for the night, before they go to the front- Jane and Charlie are fast asleep as the rest of the soldiers all pile off the truck...
Dino: *Sees the two sleeping men left in the truck* I think we should get some rest too, Jer - C'mon let's wake these to up -
Captain: Sure - Hey! You two * he climbs into the truck and shakes Charlie* Geez, they're skinny - don't think there was enough bacon and beans for them...
Dino:*climbs into the truck and shakes both of the men* Hey! Wake up!
Captain: Let's just drag em out then.. *he lifts up Charlie* You take the other one-
Dino: *he picks Jane up* You're right - they hardly weigh anything...
Dean and the Captain carry the 'men' inside, into their rooms-
**Dino's Room**
Dino: *shouts as he shuts the door* Night Jer! *he carries the 'man' over to his bed, planning to throw some cold water over him in a minute...*
Jane:*in her sleep* Dino- don't go... I lo-
Dino:What the-
Dino freezes just before he puts Jane down - he pulls off the 'man's' cap... familiar , soft, dark blonde hair falls over his hands . He wipes off the mud from the face...
Dino:Oh...My...God...
Jane*wakes up* Huh.. wha- Deeeeaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!! *she throws her arms around him*
Dino: How the - what the - Jane, what are you doing here?!
Jane: I couldn't just let you leave me ... I'm not losing you, Crocetti...*she shivers*
Dino:We'll talk about this tomorrow- now, get out of those wet clothes *Jane looks shocked* Here- I'll lend you one of my shirts - *he hands her a shirt* it'll cover all of you, don't worry-
Jane:Close your eyes!
Dino:Oh, for cryi-
Jane:Do it. *Dean turns and Jane pulls off the soaking clothes and pulls on Dean's shirt - he was right, she's so small and he's so tall that it goes right down to her knees..* You can open them now.
Dino: Woweee... *he looks her up and down* Why don't they ever look that good on me...
Jane:*Shoves Dino playfully, and he falls backwards on to the bed*Oh... there's only one....
Dino:Don't worry ,I'm a gentleman - it's yours. Right , we really better get off to bed - remember - I'll be mad at you in the morning.
That night, lying on the cold, damp floor, Dino felt something warm suddenly press against his body, and slide under his thin blanket-
Jane:Dean- is it alright if I just stay with you...
Dino: Sure, it's ok *he wraps his arms around her* Night...
While this had been happening, in the Captain's room...

***Captain's room***
Captain: *shouts before shuts the door* Night Dean! *Carries "the soldier" at the bed.* Captain: Okey-dokey, now I should get this guy to wake u-..... *Looks down at Charlie who sighs, still asleep* Captain: Hey, wait a sec... *Takes Charlie's cap off and lets her dark wavy hair fall free to the mattress.* Captain: Oh my god... Charlie: *opens her eyes* What, where.... Captain: *looks annoyed* Hiya soldier, finally you are awake then. Charlie: *sees captain* JERRY!!! *jumps straight to his lap.* Captain: What are you - How- Charlie, what on earth are you doing here? Charlie: If you want to blame somebody, blame Jane. It was all her idea. But what's the difference, I would have invented it anytime! Oh Jerry I don't want to let you go there! Captain: Cut the smalltalk miss Taylorson, you are in a big trouble now. You could get fired here by that! Charlie: But you are captain, you can do something about it! Oh Jer, I wanted to be with you *buries her head to captain's shirt.* Captain: Hey, hey, hey! Knock it off, you.... *They both are silent for a minute, then captain hugs her back.*
Captain: You crazy, silly girl. We'll talk about this tomorrow. Now get out of those clothes, you're all muddy and everything! Charlie: Well, this is all I got! Captain: Why you crazy... Charlie: I can keep these, I'll just get out of these pant-...*looks straight to captain, who isn't seem going anywhere.* And if you don't mind too much, DON'T STARE! Captain turns his back and Charlie keeps her wet shirt on. It would dry pretty fast and you wouldn't notice while sleeping....Oh yeah, where she was going to sleep? There was only one bed. Captain: You can have the bed, although you don't deserve it. You have got us all in trouble, and my position in this case..oh god! Charlie doesn't say anything, just looks at captain with big dark eyes when he takes second pillow from the bed and throws it to the floor, mumbling himself. Charlie: *weak voice* Are you mad at me? Captain: darn straight I am! Charlie: I didn't want you to get trouble. Captain: Well, you did-.... He turns to look at her angrily but the anger dies off his face when he looks tears at her eyes and speaks calmly again. Captain: Well...good night Charlie.
Captain is already laying down at the floor when Charlie takes a hold of his hand. Charlie: Jer...I know you are mad at me...but can you stay with me? I hate to sleep alone, especially when I'm scared.... Captain: *Looks at her a moment and then nods* OK. They both climb under the blanket and without even noticing Charlie presses herself against captain. Captain doesn't seem to mind. He puts his arms around her and Charlie is sure that she feels his lips at her cheek. Captain: You little silly...Good night. Charlie: Good night.
They hear airplanes above them, but they are too tired to care. Charlie closes her eyes and falls asleep to captain's arms and feels like there wouldn't be anything in the world that could scare her now.
***At the morning**
When the girls wake up, they have been both dragged to Captain's room and both guys are looking at them at the other end of bed angrily, arms crossed at their chests. Captain: Good morning Frank Stallone and Charlie Jones, I hope you boys slept well. Jane: We are gonna die now... Charlie: You don't say Sherlock... *Jane rises from the bed and looks at the boys with dry eyes.* Jane: Who else knows? Dino: 'Till now no-one but us, thank god for that. Everybody have too much to think of right now to notice anything. What were you thinking? It has been an attack at our front line: I should be there right now! And captain should be there leading the troops! We have more than enough things to do even without you girls, oh god.... Jane: I don't think they are going to serve any bacon or porridge here... Charlie: *sigh*

Captain:Well, I guess I better go tell the General...
Dino: What?! Jer - you crazy or somethin'? You'll lose your position, you'll- you'll lose everything you've worked for here- I'll take the blame; I haven't got any ranks to lose, I'm already at the bottom.
Jane:*starts to cry*This...Is..all my fault...*sobs*
Captain:*obviously doesn't like to see any girl upset* No, it's not your fau-
Dino:Yes, it is.
*Everyone looks to Dino, shocked*
Captain: *whispers* Dino - c'mon, take it easy on her...
Dino: Why should we? She was the one who got herself up here and brought Charlie along!
Charlie: *walks over to Dino* Hey! You leave her alone - she came to be with you!
Captain: Dino - just stop it. Charlie and I will leave you two alone for a moment - ok? *takes Charlie's hand* C'mon.. lets go...*they leave, Charlie looking at Jane sympathetically*
Dino heard the door shut and looked up from the floor, which he had been staring at the whole time - he saw Jane, shaking uncontrollably on the edge of the bed, her face hidden by her hair.He walked over to her and bent down.
Dino:Hey, I'm sorry Jane - I just... don't want you to get hurt; we're safe here, but what will you do now? We're leaving for the front line tonight...It's too dangerous there for you and Charlie-
Jane: *looks up at Dino* No. I'm not leaving. Charlie won't leave Jerry,either.
Dino:*laughs* What, so you're going to fight with us?!
Jane:*moves her hair out of her face* Sure - I bet we're just as good a any men! *stands up* Yeah! You're a genius Dino! We'll come along! The army's always saying they need more men - why not women too?!
Dino:*just stares at Jane* Wait... Lemme' get this straight... You *points at Jane* want to come with me *points to his own chest* to the front line?! *bursts out laughing*
Jane:Yep. *sees Dino leaning against the bed as he continues to laugh* And it's not just you I'm coming for...um.... I want to help my country!
Dino: *Looks up*No...I'll tell you what though... *Jane looks up, hopeful*; the day beans fly,then I'll let you go and fight! *Jane scowls*
***Outside***
Waiting for Dino and Jane to calm down, the Captain and Charlie wait outside the cabin, the Captain is walking up and down,kicking a can of beans along the muddy floor, and Charlie is standing watching him go up and down, up and down...
Captain: *sighs,stops, and turns to face Charlie* What are you going to do ?
Charlie: Come with you, of course.
Captain: Charlie; I know I can't change your mind, so I won't try - but at least let me tell you that you're putting not only your position as a nurse on the line, but also your life, if you come to the front line-
Charlie: I know.
Captain: What about Jane does she realize wh-
Charlie felt like hitting,shouting and kissing the Captain - how could he not understand that she didn't care as long as she was with him? And that Jane felt the same about Dino?
Charlie:She knows. Don't you think, Jerry, that we might have actually thought about this? We didn't just say ' Hey, that looks like fun, we'll follow them!' No, we actually have a tiny bit of common sense you know!
Captain:I'm not saying tha-
Charlie:Yes, you are!
Captain: I'm only saying this because I care!
Charlie:If you cared then you want me to come! *breaks into tears and runs off to the nearest empty cabin*
Captain:Oh, for- *kicks the can of beans as hard as he can*
***Inside***
Dino: End of discuss-* they both freeze, as a can of beans clearly zooms past the cabin window*
Jane stands up, and brings her hand up to her face - she slowly raises it to her forehead, and salutes Dino. Still being frozen, he stares, open-mouthed at her.Jane leans forward and gives him a tiny kiss.
Jane: Sir?
Dino: I don't know how you did that, Miss Evelyn, but I don't go back on my word... *sighs*

***Outside***
Captain still stays at outside, kicking now rocks even harder. Those crazy, stupid girls. Oh, were they in trouble now. If he was the one who had to tell about those new guys to the general, well, he knew already what was coming. Girls knew that it was going to happen. Why they didn't just STAY as nurses at their own hospital where they were safe?! They saw all that trouble.....To be with him and Dino. Although captain was still sore, he couldn't help understanding them. Captain: *sigh* He kicks that poor rock one more time and follows Charlie to the cabin.
***At the cabin***
After few minutes of almost hysteric crying at the floor Charlie raised her look when she saw captain at the door. They look each other for a long time, Charlie teary-eyed and captain regretting. Without saying a word captain came to sit next to her. They are both silent for a moment, then captain starts gently dry her eyes with his fingers. Charlie doesn't stop him, just looks at him whole time. Captain: There there sweetheart. There isn't reason to cry. He puts his arms around her and hugs her. Charlie is still shaking like in a fever but snuggles her head against captain's neck. Charlie: I'm sorry. Captain: No reason to be, Charlie. What's done it's done. We'll think of something. He tucks her hair and suddenly, without any warning he gives her a kiss. When captain feels that Charlie becomes really stiff he lets her go. But Charlie pulls him close again and kisses him back. For a few minutes they both let themselves forget it all, the war, the situation, everything. They allowed each other to have one kiss without worries. Charlie thought that it didn't matter what would happen to her, as long as captain was alive.
***Captain's room***
When captain and Charlie come back, they find Dino and Jane sitting at the edge of the bed. Dino stands up and looks at them both with serious gaze. Captain takes Charlie's hand in his own just like at their first meeting and gives her a tender squeeze. He wouldn't let anything bad happen to her, Charlie knew it. Before either of them says a word, Dino speaks already. Dino: We seem to have a new soldier at our troops. Captain: What?! *They both look at Jane who sits at the edge, looking at them with devilish grin.* Charlie: Oh...my..god.... Captain: Help.... Dino: You can imagine how I feel. But I have my word to keep. *Captain raises his other hand at his forehead like he is suffering from the headache of the century.* Captain: Yippee...How we are going to handle this? Dino: I really dunno. Maybe we should send girls back and face the music which comes from the general when he gets the word about this... *Jane's smile dies, but she doesn't say anything, but Charlie does. She gets so mad that she pulls her hand free and starts to yell.*
Charlie: And how is the sending us back going to help anything?! Wake up you two! There is a war going on! Hundreds, or even thousands of men are dying out there! We all are in danger to die too! Think about it if you send us back and something happens to you too! Jane gets to know about you when she re-writes your names to the records of death ones! We can all die and this can be our last days here! Do you think we are going to spend them at our little room at the nurses' side: scared?! *The whole room is silent and they all look at Charlie.* Captain: When did YOU became so tough? Charlie: When you kissed me. Nobody doesn't say anything, but then captain goes to the door, looking serious. Dino: Where are you escaping now? Captain: To the general's. I'm going to ask do we need any tough nurses. And if we don't, I have two more soldiers at the troops to lead. But girl's are gonna stay, no matter what.

***That Night***
The boys -and the girls- are packing their equipment away and getting ready to leave; the Captain managed to scavenge some spare clothes and military equipment for the girls so they could be real 'soldiers'.
Captain: *taking old shirt off* I can't believe we're doing this...You seen my shirt?
Dino:Huh, you think you can't? *looks around* Um... Nope - you seen mine?
Charlie: *opens door-sees boys* Oh! Sorry guys! *covers eyes* Didn't know you were -
Jane:*Pushes into room* Oh, come on Charlie - we're all men here!
Dino:*pretends to cover his bare chest* All men here are we?
Jane:Why, sure Dino! *gives Dino a playful punch on the chest - he grabs her hand*
Dino: You two just happen to be two very 'pretty' boys then...
Charlie: *laughs* Anyways, shouldn't we all get dressed, boys?
Captain:Yeah.. We can't find our shirts! You haven't seen them have you?
Girls:Us? *both flash eyelashes* Noooo....
The men look at each other...
Captain:Get em!
Dino and the Captain dive on the girls, who scream happily, holding the boys' shirts above their heads. Dino pins Jane's hands down and quickly grabs the shirt - while he lets go of her hands to get the shirt, she puts her arms around his neck. While the Captain tries to grab the ends of the shirt with his teeth, Charlie laughs, moving the shirt up and down in the air.
Dino:*standing up, lifting Jane up* You've already got him well trained, Charlie!
Captain: Ey! I ain't no dog, boy! *he barks*
***Later on, outside***
The whole regiment stand in the rain, in line - the Captain is at the front with the general...
General:All men present, Captain?
Captain: Yes, sir, all here...
General:Alright. Let's get started. Aaaaaanndddddd, marcccccchhhhh!
The whole regiment starts to move walking in rows of 3, walking along the muddy old road, made even worse by the falling rain.Dino,Jane and Charlie are near the back of the men, Jane in the middle of the two - the Captain is walking behind the regiment, checking all the men.
Charlie:*leans across Jane to ask Dino*Oh,by the way, how far is this walk?
Dino:Oh, about 15 miles-
Jane:*stops suddenly and gets kicked by the man behind*15...miles?!
Dino:Yep.*he pushes Jane forward* What's the problem, soldier?
Jane: 15 -
Charlie:Nothing.Nothing's wrong- is it, Jane *she glares at Jane*
Jane:Bu- *sees Charlie's 'I-will-kill-you-if-you-say-anything' look* No, nothing.
Captain:*appears next to Charlie* Everyone ok?
Dino: Yup. All fine Cap'n.
Captain: Good. *whispers over Charlie's shoulder* You ok, Charlie?
Charlie turns to see the Captain's face - he looks sincerely concerned about her; she's never wanted to kiss him so much...
Charlie:*leans in*
Dino: *sees Charlie and the Captain both leaning in*Hey! *the whole regiment looks at Dino- the Captain and Charlie are still getting closer* Captain... look...um..*Jane sees Dino's look of horror- then Charlie and the Captain*
Jane: Charlie! *grabs Charlie's shirt and pulls* Look - you haven't put the safety lock on your rifle! *the rest of the men look away,bored*
Charlie:*jerked away from the Captain by the pull* Hey -Ja-I mean, oh... thanks...Frankie...
Captain: *tries to look calm* Well done, Private Stallone - that's very dangerous, Private Jones- sort it out *he squeezes Charlie's shoulder and walks away*
Dino: Dunno what you two were thinking, but you gotta restrain yourselves round here! If it hadn't been for Jane here *he touches her hand for a tiny second*
Jane:*blushes* C'mon, Dino they couldn't help it - they're just in love *winks at Charlie*
Charlie: Even so, we shouldn't have let it happen... Not out here anyway...

March, march, march, march, march..... Why can't they use another word but march?! The whole regiment has walked about 8 miles now, and Jane thinks her feet are going to fall off any minute and she was tired, hungry and irritated. Her back hurt, her feet hurt, her lungs hurt, her eyes hurt, her hair hurts, her toes hurt, her nose hurt.... Jane spread her fingers and sighed. Her poor, poor nails.... She didn't have too much time to poor her nails when soldiers behind her are already stepping at her heels. She was already getting sick of this, why on earth they won't use cars like modern people?! The land was getting more muddier and muddier when they walked on, why couldn't they fight at dry places?! Really selfish to fight like that... One of the soldiers: Hey you, keep moving! Jane: You are the only one who isn't moving so shut your mouth before I shut it for good! Dino: Break it up you two! *soldier stops and keeps on going and Dino leans closer to Jane* Behave private Stallone, there's still miles to go and you are acting like a hysteric little girl! *Charlie chuckles and Jane gives Dino a a little kick in the shin while marching.* Jane: I'm in pains here, can't you see?! This is so horrible! Why you can't use cars here?! Dino: Maybe you should suggest that to general over there. *points to the car which you can still see couple of miles ahead.* Jane: Maybe another time. Dino: That sounds better. Don't worry private, soon we are going to stop and then you can rest. Jane: Warm bed sounds really good idea right now... *Few of the soldiers around them chuckle and Dino tries to keep straight face.* Jane: What did I say now? Nobody doesn't answer.
When the troops finally arrive to their camp-of-the-evening, Jane almost faints. It was just a muddy piece of land, surrounded by few trees. Charlie sees her expression and tries not to laugh out too loud. Charlie: What's the matter Frankie? Not earth-closed enough? Jane: It's.....muddy. Charlie: What did you expect, Waldorf Astoria? Dino: That's right private Jones, you are going to put up your tents, twenty men in one. Girls: *whisper* WHAT?! Dino: *looks at girls* That's a finest you can have here, you know. Some poor things have to guard the area whole night! Charlie: *sees the horror at Jane's face* What's the matter, Jane? What's so horrible in that? At least we have company. Jane: I think I'm going to sleep in my boy clothes all night...*looks sharply at Charlie.* Charlie: Oh yeah, THAT thing.... Suddenly they all hear Captain's voice from the front. Captain: ALL MEN STOOOOOOP!!! The whole regiment stops in their place, so suddenly that Jane fells on her knees to the mud. Some of the guys chuckle. Jane is so tired that she doesn't even make face at them. Jane: This can't be happening..... Charlie: *Helps Jane up* At least we are going to have lots of excitement around us, Frankie...

Captain:*walks up to the girls* Everything ok?
Charlie:Yep - great than-Hey- * she tries to pull her boot out of the mud which she has sunk into*
Captain:*takes Charlie's leg and pulls, her leg comes free* There ya go - watch out for that mud *Dino walks over, his face,arms and shirt covered in mud*...it gets everywhere- especially on him...
Dino:What gets everywhere?
Charlie:Nothing. Which tent are we in?
Dino: Oh, um-*turns around to point, and sees Jane leaning on another soldier's arm, laughing* That one.
Captain:*while Dino's back is turned, whispers to Charlie* Bet you anything in the world the moment Jane comes over here, he'll take his shirt off.
Charlie:No...Why would he? It's feezing!
Captain: Ah, but love's a *puts on western accent* 'burnin' fire', don't they always say?
Dino:*turns around* Yeah... like I said, that's our tent; number twelve-
Jane:*walks over, waving to the other soldier* Hey guys - all ready for some tent building? Sam over there was just telling me all about how to put the tents-
Dino:Yeah? Well what does Sam know? He's only a kid! *takes off shirt* You need a real man for tent-building *sniffs, dramatically and walks over to their tent*
Jane:Dino - what the- *she follows Dino*
Captain:See! Told you so. Always the same - girl + other guy = shirt off time.It's so pathetic!
Charlie:*laughs* You know him really well, don't you?
Captain:As well as anyone can get to know him...C'mon lets go help- *they both follow after Jane and Dino*
Jane:Dino?*catches up with Dean and stands right in front of him so he can't pass her* What was that about Sam? We were only talking - I'm a 'man' to him anyway!
Dino: Yeah, I know...It was just me jokin' around with you...
General: Right, let's get started over here men, will two soldiers take the side poles- and then we'll put the tent cover up over them.. *Jane and Dino take the poles and the tent cover is pulled over them* good,good,now we need a real man to lift the main pole up.... Someone extra strong...*Captain steps forward* Ah, Captain Lewis...Um, you sure you can manage that? Maybe Crocetti or-
Captain:No, no, I can do this General, thank you.
Jane and Dino stand in the shelter of the tent cover, invisible to everyone else as they watch the Captain through a gap in the material.
Dino:*nudges Jane * Bet you... a whole week's pay that he takes his shirt off for this-
Jane:Why would he? It's ice cold out here! Sure, you're on - your money's mine, Crocetti...*they shake hands*
Dino:*laughs* Nope, I think your money's mine 'Stallone'... at least while he knows Charlie's here..
Jane:No way...
The Captain walks up to the pole which is stuck in the ground, grabs it with both hands, and pulls with all his strength.. the pole wobbles. The Captain keeps pulling though, as hard as he can...
Dino:*sees Jane's smug smile* C'mon Jer, do what Dino taught ya to do when there's a girl...
Captain: *lets go of the pole, looks up, exhausted, and sees Charlie's face- he turns back to the pole* I'll just- *removes shirt, and sees Charlie staring at him, her eyes not leaving his chest,he grins* Here we go...
The Captain pulls again,this time the pole lifts immediately and the Captain easily carries the pole to the centre of the tent site.
Dino: So, Janey- I mean, Frankie... If you were a girl I might let you off paying me, being the gentleman I am *Jane snorts*, but since you're a fellow soldier I think I'll make you pay up-
Jane:I'm a girl though!!
Dino;*grins*Nuh-uh. You're a soldier, you've told me yourself. Why not pay the first half now? *he holds out his hand*
Jane glared at Dino for a moment, then put her hand in her pocket - Dino smiled triumphantly. Slowly, she pulled out a tiny bottle of perfume, proceeded to spray a little around her neck,put the tiny bottle back, brought out a lipstick and a pocket mirror, and applied it to her lips.
Dino:Can I just ask...What are you doing?You're a soldier now you kno-
Dino was silenced by Jane throwing her arms around his neck, raising herself up on her tip-toes and gave him the biggest kiss he had ever had - and she had ever given.The two stood for what seemed hours, their arms wrapped tightly around each other; they did not notice the tent cover slowly,slowly rising around them...
Soldiers:And a one...and a two.... and a THREE! Heave!
The whole tent cover flew up, and as it went up, the main pole can flying down - landing right on Dino's head as it did so with a massive *BANG!*. Jane screamed and there was a loud *THUD* as Dino hit the floor.
Soldier:Oh my God! Is he ok? It must have -
Jane:*screaming* Yes! It hit him... Now do SOMETHING! Get the doctor, get the General.. no.. get the Captain!
Soldier 2:Hey, his mouth's bleeding!
Jane:Wh- *sees Dino's mouth; her bright red lipstick is all over it, and parts of his neck*Oh..Um yes - get the Captain! He's bleeding!
Charlie:*runs in*Is he ok?! Why were you two standing right underneath the main pole - did you not realize the dangers - *sees the lipstick, looks at Jane* . Frankie Stallone... you bad, bad soldier... *Shouts to soldiers* Will someone please get the Captain?!
