The Past and the Future (Closed)

[ARaynes]

She stood before the long mirror looking over her everyday body. It was time to apply the makeup that her fans wanted to see. Her eyes needed their highlights, her hair needed its curl. Soon she would not be the plain Jane everyone had never noticed before. She would be Pepper McDonald, actress.

Pepper had had a rough life. She was the poor girl from the streets of Texas only five years before. She was holding her son as she watched the big screne wishing that she had a chance in hell to be on there. It was her dream. Her fantasy.

Now, here she was preparing for what would be her forth movie in only three years. He son, now six years old, was still the pride of her life, but there were movies that she loved too.

She could hob nob with all the others, but her roots were still in the streets of Texas. She would often put on a disquise, hiding her signature red hair and her seductive blue eyes to stroll the boulevards that she once called home.

Every once in a while someone would ask her why she seemed so familiar. She would just giggle and say, "Because I will be in the movies one day." Little did they know who they were talking too.

But now she stood in front of her mirror almost ready. There was a knock on her door. "Who is it?" She called.

"Mrs. McDonald, your limo is here."

"Coming dear!" She called. She started moving to the door, but her foot snagged the carpeting. She tripped hitting her head on the corner of the dressing table.

Her next view was of a misty sailor looking down at her.

David

“Rise and shine you swabbies. Drop your cocks and grab your socks!”

David groaned and turned over to see the company commander stride arrogantly past his bunk, his baton in his hand striking the posts of the bunks behind and ahead of his as he went. Was this some kind of nightmare was his Navy career going to be this.

The glare of the bare bulbs over head the utter darkness from the window told him that it was not even dawn yet and they were supposed to get up. No way he thought and then thought different as feet began to hit the floor and arms went up to salute the little potbellied chief that was now standing demanding their attention

“Attention on deck”! was the command and every hand went up in salute and all eyes turned to the commander Aye aye sir was the response from David and all 29 of his boot camp enlisties.

“Louder you sorry sacks of shit, I can’t hear you”

Aye, aye sir !!!! they shouted in unison.


David Johnson, 394 683 4122 born in northern Wisconsin , farm boy ,white anglo saxon ,swedish danish norwegian everyone in town had a son or a sen at the end of their last name and their biblical first name condemning them to the soil and the bible. David's and Paul's, Marks and Johns ect all of them from the bible.

Well, David was going to be different even if he couldn’t change his name he could get out of town, find adventure, excitement, see the world, join the Navy. His mother had cried, his father had angrily raise his fist but looking at his crying wife had turned his back instead and walked away. David had boarded the bus to join the navy.His introspection was interrupted by his company commanders face just two inches from his, livid with rage.

“Did you hear me, son!! No you didn’t! did you? Well get down on the deck and give me fifty”!

Yes sir! right away sir!

David dropped to the floor and started doing the pushups required to satisfy his commander.

twenty pushups later he heard.

I can’t hear you sailor and I use the term sailor loosely in your case. I cant hear you counting so you’ll have to start over !

Yes sir, one sir, two sir, three sir, David counted and shouted. it was hot and he was tired and when he got to 35 he fainted.

He came to, or so he thought. Maybe he was dreaming because he found himself in a quiet field, green grass and flowers as far as he could see. a gentle breeze was blowing and birds were singing from the distant woods. He looked down and below him lay a young girl, she couldn’t have been more than eighteen her long red hair spread out around her head, her blue eyes looked at him innocently.

He stepped back realizing he was no longer the skinny kid of eighteen from Wisconsin but a muscular young man of maybe twenty four, his rugged body firm and tan. He ran his hand through his dark brown hair and saw he was still in uniform, but not the uniform of a boot camp enlistie but an experienced sailor with stripes and medals and memories of four years at sea and the foreign countries he had visited.

Pepper

Pepper groaned as she tried to lift herself up. Her head hurt, but there was not blood on her hand as she reached up to check. She remembered getting dressed, her long black gown flowing all about her as......but that was where it ended. What else had happened?

She looked at the sailor before her. "Excuse me, but where am I and how did I get here?" Her voice was sultry, almost exotic. "Is this a stage set?"

It looked as if she were on location, but not the type of location you would find in L.A. This was too pretty to be a set up in California. Almost as if she were in Texas again, but there was a lack of trees.

David

David heard her voice and realizing she was real kneeled down beside the girl who was laying at his feet. He shook the cobwebs from his mind no longer wondering about how he had gotten here but rather what should he be doing. she was obviously in some sort of distress disorientated as he was and he looked for signs that she had maybe fallen and injured herself he put his hand on her forehead and feeling it cool looked in her eyes.

My name is David,

He looked around, thinking she might be more comfortable in a shady place, saw a small wooded area a short distance away. he slipped his arms under her and lifted her up. holding her in his arms he walked quickly toward the wooded area.

A small freshwater pond sparkled in the sunlight in the center of the trees. he found a cool grassy spot and laid her down

Don’t be afraid , you’re safe here Miss. Rest a while and tell me how you came to be in the meadow all alone.

He looked down at her becoming so enamored with her that he completely forgot about his own plight.
