-mind since the letter had come in. Who was going to take care of @BrookIynRoots? She didn't have family, didn't have a boy to help her get-

-her meds paid for, hell @BrookIynRoots was so sickly she couldn't hold down a job for long. Without Becky... She didn't even want to think-

-about what could happen to @BrookIynRoots while she was away. "You're fine Stephie, factory kept me til late last night. I'm just a crab."

"It'll be nice to spend time with you before I ship out." Becky smiled at @BrookIynRoots and stepped aside to let the smaller woman in. -

-"After I get dressed or something, we can go see a movie." The brunette offered. @BrookIynRoots

Becky smiled down at @BrookIynRoots an wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "As long as you aren't pickin' fights with everyone on the -

-street again, we'll have a grand time." She messed up @BrookIynRoots longer blonde hair a little and wandered away to her bedroom. "Lemme-

-get some clothes on. I need a day with my best friend before I go to war." @BrookIynRoots

Becky searched through her room for a relatively nice outfit to wear out with @BrookIynRoots, and in the process knocked the letter that-

-informed her of her deployment off the table. With a huff Becky slumped to sit on her bed and stare at the offending paper- @BrookIynRoots

-She loved @BrookIynRoots. The scrappy blonde was her best friend and she'd loved her for years, but loving your best friend? Being in love-

-with another woman was practically a death sentence in this day and age. Besides @BrookIynRoots deserved better. And Becky knew there was-

-a strong chance she was never coming home to @BrookIynRoots... Becky shook herself out of that train of thought and tugged on her least-

-dirty, blue dress, and pulled her hair up under her navy blue hat before going back out to face @BrookIynRoots.

Becky grinned a little at @BrookIynRoots and put her hands on her hips. "Girls day out? Wanna see a movie? Or go to the pier?"

Becky let out a quiet chuckle and wrapped her arms around @BrookIynRoots's small frame. "Pier it is then! I'll win you a stuffed animal-

-and buy you a hot dog!" @BrookIynRoots

Becky laughed and pats @BrookIynRoots back. "Then let's go Steph." Becky started walking towards the door with Stephanie is tow.

this is just what i'd hoped for
