In the military they teach to not display emotions beyond that of the ones who were lost. Sometimes however, a person ignores their teachings and ends up finding the one in a situation filled with those who wish harm on others. It took a lot for me to find that woman, but I managed to find her in one of the most unlikeliest places on Earth.


It all started back in basic training...

 

[Aoba]

It was beginning to turn into Summer. Sargent was chewing us out saying we "Lacked in cardio" or whatever, I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy looking at the trees and the leaves blooming. ow unlucky was I, Sgt. Stackers unfortunately saw me zoned out and started yelling at me. All i could recall was him saying something along the lines of "Hey Bennett! Since you have so much time on your hands that you can just leave the real world and cone out into out space, drop and give me fifty!"


With a reluctant sigh i laid down flat on the floor and got into the planking position, starting my push ups right when the male soldiers came jogging by on their daily running route. I sighed as i watched them run, still focusing on my push ups so my Sgt. didn't chew me out again. Lucky, they are fit so they don't have any problems with being unfit She thought to herself as she continued her push ups, already at her 20th pushup.

 

[Armed Solution]

As Vicki did her pushups, the rest of the trainees watched, Artie included. As he watched, he felt sorry for her, knowing just by looking at her she wasn't trying to be trouble for the Sergeant but she could never focus enough. Artie hadn't been horrible at exercising, but he definitely never struggled with it as much as Vicki. Finally, as she sweated out her last push-ups, the Drill Sergeant shouted for her to line up with the rest of us.


"Now it's time for me to introduce myself to you ladies. My name is Stackers. You will refer to me from now on as Sergeant Stackers, and use sir or you will be worked till you turn into mush. Now, if everyone can focus their attention to me, its time for you idiots to be shown to your quarters. I'll give you all ten second to rearrange into seven even lines. If one person is added to a group, you will all do push-ups. Your time starts now."


With that, everyone raced to reposition themselves into these different lines when he found himself lining up behind Vicki unintentionally. As Sgt. Stackers counted down, those who had yet to line up were finding themselves panicking as he drew nearer to zero. It took up till Sgt. Stackers said "three" until everyone had been fully lined up. As he inspected those who had lined up, he gave his opinion on those he saw fit to do so. His first victim was some guy who was looking down at his boots when the Sergeant walked by. Then it had been some super young teen like me that began to fall asleep, and his final victim was Vicki. Vicki had began to show the signs of fading out into space, until she had managed to snap herself out of it as the Drill Sergeant passed by. I believe his statement was one of sarcasm, mentioning, and I quote, "I don't need dreamers, so if you keep this crap up missy I will have the brass on you faster than flies race to shit, got it?"

 

[Aoba]

"Sir yes sir" I stated as i stared at the sergeant, my attention fully on him until he walked off to go pick on some other soldier. One being a girl around my height, maybe an inch taller or so. Poor girl, all she did was yawn and Sgt.Stackers was already screaming at her. I shook my head just a bit so no one would notice as i continued to watch him criticize the people who were slacking off. I was trying my best to stay focus but couldn't help but think about other things. I sure hid it well as i stared straight ahead, making it seem like i had all my attention into the real world.


I was truly snapped back into reality when i heard the Sergeants voice "Alright maggots" Was all i heard before turning my attention to something else. I think it was about the food or something, I sure as hell was hungry but again, i made it seem like i was listening.

 

[Armed Solution]

"It seems like I'm going to have a fun time straightening you idiots outs. I've already instructed your group leaders your barracks. Don't cause any trouble and be ready to wake up early."


"Sir, yes sir" Our collective shouted.


No one at this point knew what tomorrow would be like and no one knew how long it would be before we finished, but his responses seemed to be much more tame than most other Drill Sergeants. Either way, everyone walked toward their barracks and I tried to maneuver my way next to Vicki.


"Hey there."

 

[Aoba]

"Oh, hey" I looked up at the tall man, my head having to go all the way back to see his face. Damn he's like a freakin' giant..But he's pretty cute too. I thought to myself as i start to examine him. I sat down on the bed i was assigned to.

 

[Armed Solution]

"I, uh, noticed that the Sergeant has already chewed you out. I just hope you knew that some of the others felt unfit. Not that I don't think that your not fit, but... I'm just going to stop talking now."


How charming, he thought to himself, I must sound like an ass to her right now.

 

[Aoba]

I started to smile and shake my head as i chuckled.


"And what makes you think i felt unfit?"


I looked up at him curiously as i thought, Smooth, real smooth.

 

[Armed Solution]

"I just thought you were struggling, look forget I said anything, I didn't mean it like that."


If you couldn't tell, Artie was suffering from a famous case of foot-in-mouth because secretly he thought that Vicki was kinda cute. He wanted to break the ice, but his inexperience with talking to women bit him in the ass.

 

[Aoba]

I start to giggle and unlace my boots, taking each one off slowly but leaving my socks on. I only wore about a size 5 or 6 but for some reason my feet were hurting so i started rub my small feet, giving myself a nice foot massage. "Hehe, i understood what you meant silly. Thanks for being kind though"

 

[Armed Solution]

"Thanks."


Artie began to walk toward his bunk, and sat down before he said to Vicki: "If you'd ever like to just talk, I'm down to talk. Goodnight."

 

[Aoba]

I smiled, "Night" and with that i laid down and crawled under my covers, going to sleep.

 

[Armed Solution]

The next morning was what some would call hell. We begun the day with the Drill Sergeant performing his initial "Fitness Test". Everyone was forced to do all the exercises he could think of until you were damn near dead. The lunch break came and consisted of us beginning our diet which consisted of MREs, or Meals Ready to Eat. After the initial taste of MREs, we rounded the day off with the two mile run where at the start, Artie stood, already breathing hard from the other exercises from right before the run, when he managed to worm his way next to Vicki. Knowing he had a few minutes, he attempted to try to pump her up for the run, knowing she was already probably felt like a turd in a punch bowl.


"How you feeling right now?"

 

[Aoba]

I got into a running position and wait for the signal to start running. I saw Artie and looked up at him before flashing a small smile.


"I feel like crap.." I was breathing hard from the other exercises. My top was somewhat drenched in sweat. "What about you?"

 

[Armed Solution]

Artie snickered and said "I can't breathe really well but hopefully my lungs won't give out in this test." He readied himself, when finally... BANG! The starting gun went off and everyone began to run as fast as they could on what little energy they could muster. Running next to Vicki, he slowed his pace to hers, and ran with her. Soon though something was wrong. On the area they were supposed to run through, they encountered a military vehicle firing live-rounds at the ground as warning shots. All the runners panicked and went to take cover in the bushes. Artie however, had a different idea. He yelled for Vicki to run into the bushes and started to dodge the shots of the turrets by jumping from cover to cover. Soon enough he was able to get incredibly close to the vehicle and was able to open the door of the truck. He knocked out the guy in the driver's seat, took the rifle sitting next to him and shouted "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE TURRET NOW!"


The turrets user quickly disembarked and showed his face to Artie before he realized it was Stackers himself.


"Boy put that goddamn gun down now!" Stackers shouted.


"You mind giving us little more fucking warning next time we get shot at with real goddamn bullets?! I though you were some AWOL soldier or some shit!"


"I wanted to see how much you idiots could improvise or whether you could get after me, and I must say Gomatzki, you have got some power!"


"Wait, then who did I knock out just now and dump out of the side of the truck?"


"Lt. Anderson, recruiter for the Scout Snipers."


"Oh shit."


Anderson picked himself off of the ground slowly, bleeding from falling face first onto a sharp rock. He was visibly pissed, and gave Artie the ultimate death stare, but quickly reminded himself that it wasn't Artie's fault. After all, Stackers wanted to try something "Unconventional" and it turns out it would bite him in the ass in another way.


"STACKERS! Did I not fucking tell you this was a horrible idea? Get the medic over here, I'm bleeding out!"


"Yes sir!"


Stackers got out of the truck and by this time, the rest of the group had removed themselves from hiding in the brush to staring out at the chaos that Artie caused. Whilst Stackers got the medics on the radio, Anderson walked over to Artie knowing all and well Artie probably either shit himself, or was prepared to walk out of training.


"Son, you throw one hell of a punch, it felt like someone blindsided me with a baseball bat." Lt. Anderson casually remarked


"Sorry sir, I did not know the circumstances sir." Artie stammered out.


"At ease recruit. Look, you seem like you got a decent set of skills and are more suited to my kind of group."


"What kind of group sir?"


"I'm starting a new scout sniper squad that does mostly recon missions. High stealth skills. You seem like a suitable enough man. I'd like to extend to you an invitation to join us after you finish basic."


"Do you mind if I take some time tonight to think about it, sir?"


"Not at all"


And with that, Lt. Anderson got back into the truck and sat in the passenger seat. Stackers finished his radio call and told everyone to return to the barracks. Finally the day had ended with a really sketchy event. As Artie walked back toward the base, Vicki approached him.

 

[Aoba]

"Nice going Artie" i gave him a punch on the arm playfully, amazed on how he handle the situation. "If it was me, i would've shot first then asked questions later" i smiled as i walked back to the bararacks with him.


Once we got there i sat down on my bed taking my shoes off one by one and this time, taking off my socks to show my small pale feet. Each toe neatly painted with a light blue nail polish. I let out a sigh and stretched to get the kinks out my back. Looking around to see everyone chatting and getting relaxed.

 

[Armed Solution]

"I tend to not want to kill everything in sight, plus I think of giving everyone a chance. You know, I would have never pegged you to be the military type. Not in an offensive way, but still."


He looked around as he kept glancing between Vicki and the rest of the soldiers, waiting for the rest of the trainees to go to sleep.

 

[Aoba]

I smile at you and start unbuckling my pants to put on more comfortable clothing. I looked over at Artie, "got any boxers?" I smiled more,pulling my pants off and neatly folding them and pplacing them aside.

 

[Armed Solution]

Artie then gave an incredibly blushed look and was visibly uncomfortable. After trying to cough something out to say to Vicki, he finally managed to muster out "Um, I don't know if you mind if you'd uh put your clothes back on, cause I was hoping I could show you something outside. Plus I'd rather not get into too much trouble..."

 

[Aoba]

I puff my cheeks and got dressed once more, mumbling to myself. "Hmph, right when i was going to lay down" i pull my boots on but without the socks as i stood up and looked at you. "What were you going to show me?"

 

[Armed Solution]

"Just follow me, please."


He began to walk out of the barracks, with Vicki following close behind. He sped up as passed by the bright lights of the base, and he drew nearer and nearer to the fence of the base where he started to look for a way past it. Knowing this situation would have happened, he managed to sneak a pair of wire cutters from the mechanics bay of the base. He cut the fence in a few places, making sure that no one was looking, and also looking for cameras to avoid. Looking around, he was able to assess that there was nothing watching him. However he did notice Vicki was becoming increasingly worried...

 

[Aoba]

"What are you doing?!" I yelled in a hushed voice " don't you know if we get caught it'll be our asses?" I watched you as i kept lookimg around to see if anyone say us or not.


I looked and saw you cutting the fence, this only making me panick more as i turned to head back to the barracks "i can't get caught for this man.. it's bad enought that Sgt. Stackers thinks I'm some kind of delinquent.. "

 

[Armed Solution]

"Shh! If you talk any louder we won't have to worry about whether or not we'll be caught, just shadow me as closely as possible and follow me. We won't go far off the property. All I wanted to do was just get a little bit outside of the property limits. Just far enough to be able to not have anyone watch us."


He crouched down and began to step silently further outside the limits of the property. Whilst he snuck away, he noticed that Vicki was turning around.


"Its too late to turn back now, I took the only route that managed to have no cameras watching us. Look, If I wanted to get you into trouble, I would have done so, I just wanted to be able to talk to you."

 

[Aoba]

I hesitated as i debated on whether i should sneak back or go with him. With a long aigh i squated and started to follow him outside of the base, being as silent as i possibly could as for i was still scared to get caught

 

[Armed Solution]

The two continued on until Artie finally stood up and told Vicki she was safe to stand up. As the continued to walk for a little ways until Artie finally came across a clearing in the woods. Encouraging Vicki to sit down, he finally began to talk.


"Look, I know we haven't known each other for long, but I figured that maybe we could get to know each other. So, here we are. What's your first name?"
