So what can I say.
THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOO MUCH! LOL!
Well here is

Disclaimer: I don't own Pearl Harbor. You know what I own and what I don't blah blah LOL Oh yeah and I merely borrowed some actors/actress names. They don't belong to me either.
Well, hope you like it!
~*~*~*~*~
Rafe clutches the gun and shoots one of the men towing Danny then the one who was towing me.
As the man dragging Rafe turns around, Rafe shoots him in the face. The officer spins, raising his rifle; the soldier pulling red, shoves him onto his face in the sand and aims his rifle too.
The officer is pulling the trigger to kill Rafe when Danny slams him down from behind.
I started to race pushing Danny. I couldn't let him die.
I felt my breath go so loud and my heart was pounding so fast and so loud I think it would burst out my chest.
I felt I was dragging my feet as I tried to run counting the seconds. Why was everything so slow! I felt the burden behind me so heavy but I kept dragging. I think I even fell scraping my knees but I kept going.
I pulled myself still fighting with the weight and the pain. I knew I was on the floor as I held on to the cold dirt but I kept dragging.
It felt like a 100 years had past and if the whole world was waiting for me. I flunked myself as soon as I made it and stood up in front of Danny accepting the bullet myself!
How foolish was I at that moment!
"Lia no!"
Danny seem to see the slowness as well. He threw his weight on my as I hit the floor. I fell with my eyes closed but my ears heard the gunshot.
I left out a shout still with my eyes tightly closed. "no!!!"
Then I heard another right after. I heard another one. But it wasn't for Danny.
It had hit Rafe!
But he stood up. Two gunshot was nothing to stop my brother. It had hit him in arm but he still held his gun shooting.
There is so much action I dragged myself to the bomb. I throw it to Red with my teeth. He catches it and throws it. Causing a huge explosion. This man comes out of no where trying to get his revenge on Rafe and I start shouting.
"RAFE!!!!"
I run forward and get shot 3 times on the back. I fall forward and when Rafe realizes he shoots the guy in the face. The man flips screaming in pain and Ramon who had reacted shoot him 3 more times and the man is dead.
I hit the ground slowly.
Rafe ran to me as forgetting the whole thing but he saw two men with guns in their hands heading straight for the two people he loved so much.
Danny didn't have time to think he ran taking both shots himself. He fell back right into Rafe's arms.
When Rafe realized what happened he was angered. So much commotion but the anger of an American can easily kill anyone in his path. All Japanese patrols had died.. It was over.
I was in such great pain I didn't even notice. The shot has not hurt my soul but it clearly had affected my body. I was surrounded by white for the longest. I fell on my knees as I felt more colder. Iced worst then any winter night. I felt numb and my body had no life.
But I still heard another gun shot and I saw a body fall by my side. I couldn't see who had fallen.
I felt someone hold me in their strong arms. I felt the weeping. I looked at him so far away but I knew it was Rafe. I try to talk but the words didn't let me. I felt another person by my side just as cold as I was.
Rafe dragged Danny and me together checking how we are.
Danny had taken a shot from both Rafe and I. But I didn't know this. Not now...
Danny looks down. He starts crying knowing he's going to die.
Danny lies on his back, clutching his wound as if to hold onto his life.
Rafe takes the wood off my back and lays me down.
I'm trembling more then ever getting more pale. I could hardly speak as I start to cough more..I feel dizzy and a huge headache.
I knew this wasn't my life.but I did what I had to do.
"Danny... Lia."
"I'm not going to make it Rafe." I said trying to pick up my hand to touch his cheek.
Danny said the same
"yes you can. "
I couldn't talk. Danny was silent.
His eyes drifting shut, and in that moment Rafe thinks he is gone already.
Then Danny's eyes drift open, finding him.
"take care of Evelyn. "
the words almost kill Rafe, filling him with grief. From somewhere he finds the strength to say
"I will. And your baby. you're gonna be a father. Did Danny hear?"
Danny was shocked at the moment as tears came through his eyes.
Rafe turns to me hugging me. "thank you Lia..oh Lia please don't die.please I love you so much Lia.not you.Lia can I tell you something.."
I looked at him. "what is it Rafe?"
"I'm.." He sighed. "I'm your real brother Lia."
"really?" I said. Lia McCawley was still inside of me. Lia Fuentes wasn't going to talk. Not now . not yet. Not ever in this lifetime.
"Daddy never adopted you.you were actually.my sister.my blood. Please Lia don't die not my own blood."
Danny eyes are closed again. But his head comes up.
Rafe takes it,
"Hey so how's the daddy?" Rafe said trying to look the bright side.
Danny pulls him closer to whisper
"what daddy?"
"You Danny you a daddy"
Danny breathed in so hard as trying to force the words and it blurts out.
"No. you are."
Rafe looks at Danny not knowing how to respond
Danny turns to me. "Lia I---love.you..."
I smile. "Me too." But I feel so dizzy my life draining away.
I finally make my hand to put it on Rafe's face. "I love you Rafe.."
Rafe managed to say out of so much grief. "I---love you too."
"you did your goal."
"I accomplished it..thanks to you.."
"You did it on your own Lia.Natalia."
"I'll say hi to Mom and dad for you."
Rafe looked at Lia and Danny not believing any of this.
Then Danny and I gave a fade smile.
"Hey big brother don't cry now.."I said smiling.
"You stronger than that remember daddy's funeral . stay strong." I said laughing a bit.
I then sighed closing my eyes for a moment but Rafe shook me so I can stay up.
Danny then forced himself more.
"Love that baby as your own. Give him your last name and give him your first name. You're a daddy Rafe.good luck."
I smiled. "you were. a good bro.."
"You weren't a bad sis either."
"We looked out for each other. a promise.done" Danny and I said.
"A promise done." Rafe said closing his eyes holding his tears and his pain.
I slowly closed my eyes and it was like I was dreaming.
I saw darkness overcome me. I was asleep never to be woken again.
Rafe looked at us.
Danny's eyes are open, but Rafe sees no light there. He looks at Lia. Her eyes are closed. But she doesn't move. She looks like she's asleep but there's no movement.
"Lia. Danny... land of the free ... land of the free... "
He shakes both of them as expecting an answer.
An answer which will never come. An answer that would be held only inside Rafe's memory but Rafe kept shaking them as expecting an answer.
"Come on Lia and Danny..land of the free.land of the." He started to cry. The pain was so much.
He wished Lia or Danny would say.home of brave. But there was no answer. There never will be..ever again..
Rafe hugs Lia and Danny tight, and weeps even harder.
He then sighed. "and the home of the brave." he softly said as he held Danny and Lia's dead body in his arms not wanting to let go.
I strained to say "home of the brave" as I heard Rafe's cries.
I heard Rafe's crying going father away as I beg not to leave this life. Huge twist in my stomach. I scream saying. "home of the brave!!!!" But as soon as the little light so far away from me is gone I heard murmurs.
"she's reacting! ."
I opened my eyes.
All my friends were there. Sam.Lisa.Amy.Bravlio.and Ramón.
Their shadows covering the blinding light.
My mother was there as well.
I opened my eyes and saw myself in a hospital.
The doctor smiled as he came up to me.
"I read all the record.oh finally you wake up."
He gave me my baseball cap.
I took it smiling.
"It's April if you wanted to know. You turned 15."
I looked up at him. "what happened sir?"
"You went for a coma right after the car hit you. But you responded after a month."
"It's only been a month?" I said confused.
"Yes, only. Now we'll check you for exams and you can go home in three days."
A month after.
I was back in my normal way as I put down some posters of Josh Hartnett and left some up and put new posters on. Of Avril Lavigne and my new crush.Trevor Morgan.
Then I realize that all my life.that I wasn't crushing on Josh but on Danny the character.
I put on a poster of all my friends which we started a new band group.
I smiled.
I looked at all my pictures and got up on my bed jumping up and down like I always like to do. Can't wait to hear Mom say.
"Lia get down from that bed you'll bump your head"
How I love to tempt her! LOL!
I then saw something on my Pearl Harbor poster that left me breath taken.
I jumped off the bed and walked up to the poster looking at it.
"Pearl Harbor"
Then at the bottom it said.
"We all won the battle in the end"
I then saw 4 people! Guess who was the extra. Lia McCawley herself!
She had a brown complexion with dark brownish black hair with goggles in her head wearing a military suit. She seem to be looking up saluting. Her bangs all the way up to her eyebrows and her bun low if it can even be seen. She was in the background. Beside her was Evelyn who was also in the background with w whole new scenery. She was seen walking in the beach holding some letters in her Hawaiian dress.
Then in the front was Danny and Rafe. They were both in their military clothes. Danny looked like he had just passed his hands through his hair. Looking to the left and Rafe looked serious looking to the right as Pearl Harbor came to the middle. With the subtitle in small letters. "we all won the battle in the end"
But there were other pictures of Pearl Harbor all over!
I saw the one with Rafe and Evelyn when they were at the dance floor.
Then Danny and Lia are shown when they are at the beach just looking at each other.
Then the one that made me laugh was Rafe and Lia together saying.
"Big Brother can be the BIGGEST pain even back in Pearl Harbor" as the title.
I then saw the dvd disk. I was very curious so with my popcorn and soda I sat down at looked at the movie.
My friends were played by many famous people.
There was
First time actress Elizabeth Rivera (she is not a real actress made it up LOL)
Ioan Gruffudd who played Ramón. I never noticed but hey Ramona does look like him. (he is a real actor LOL)
Kate Winslet played Lisa-Lia's close friend. (her too.)
I just can't believe this! Leonardo DiCaprio played Bravlio?!
I started to laugh but I guess I just don't notice these things till now.
Cameron Diaz played my friend Amy.
First time actress Trinity Aguiree played Samantha. (not real actress. LOL)
The only thing that bothered me was Sam doesn't have or had a southern accent but she sounded cool.
I saw how the movie ended. It was real sweet. It didn't go happy for Danny and Lia but it was cuter then living and going through hell.
But what an ending. Completely different! Evelyn had twins! A Boy and a Girl.
They ride of into the sunset and it goes to a fade with the song by Faith Hill heard.
I turned it off.
Then I heard a ring on the phone.
I picked it up but it wasn't the phone. It was my cell.
I flipped it open and pressed a green button and talked.
"hello?"
"Lia! Where are you we have a baseball game in five minutes!"
I then remembered and hung up.
"Doesn't anyone say bye no more" Sam said looking at the phone.
I ran up to a taxi and shouted. "Please take me to Greene Wood Park . quickly!"
"All right girl calm down."
He drove off.
Sam looked around. "where is she?"
The empire with his baseball mask looked at Sam. "she be here"
Sam put her cap forwards since it backward and it said. "Golden Hawks"
She let out a sigh. "let's hope so."
"Let's just hope another car doesn't hit her." Amy said looking around in her cheerleading outfit.
Lisa smiled. "she'll be here. Hey guess what I found in my ring last night."
"What?" Amy and Sam said looking at her.
"An engagement ring. I taught it was Mom and I must have put in on but who knows. It's like if I know who gave it to me but . not really."
Amy and Sam looked at her confused.
"Look just forget it."
"I think it was probably your B-day present from dad Lisa." Sam said smiling.
I was at the car when I felt something in my hand. I opened it and I saw the bracelet.
I smiled. Then the car stopped. I paid him the 5 bucks and ran off with a birthday card in my hand. Then the empire looked up ahead. "hey there she is!"
I ran up to them. I gave the card to Lisa.
"happy Birthday Lisa!"
Lisa smiled and opened the card reading.
"Happy Birthday to you on your day. I was so nice I'm willing to give you 50 bucks on your day" It had a picture of a chicken in the front holding a cake.
She looked at me surprised and opened it.
It had buck written all over it! 50 times!
Lisa laughed and hugged me. "you had to be the one."
"I got you something for real." I said and gave her a bracelet.
"it's beautiful."
"A promised made huh?"
She smiled. "you always get me something funny and a piece of jewel."
I smiled. "all right let's play ball! Leo."
Bravlio looked up at me. "wha?"
"stop eating those brownies!"
"Let's play ball!"
I then noticed there was a cloth hanging off the empire's pocket. It fell and then I ran up to him and gave it to him.
"Hey kid!"
The empire turned around with his face still covered.
"here you dropped this."
The empire smiled. "Hey thanks."
I smiled as we looked at each other for a moment. But I broke the sudden spell.
1 hour later.
"They're killing us!" Ramón said.
"Lia!"
I turned and saw a young boy who was the leader of our team.
"You going. The bases are loaded. If you get us a homerun. We can win by an extra homerun."
I took the bat.
I walked up to the plate.
I had my bat ready looking at it as it came to me. I saw it in such slow motion like I had seen the gunshot and then with force I swung the bat.
BAM!
"Woah it's. it's.. OUT OF HERE!!!!"
Ramón's voice was heard but then I started to run. Everyone in the bases ran and I was the last one.
I then raced as I saw that the kid had found the ball and was racing to get me.
I threw myself and slide. When I heard him say.
"Safe! The Golden Hawks win!!!!"
Everyone started to cheer. They all crowded in on me.
I felt such victory as I saw the other team a bit bummed out.
The team started to scatter around to talk to their parents.
I then saw the same empire who had said save and who's cloth I picked up for. But he came up to me and gave me the cloth.
"Um . thank you.?"
"Nice run there Lia."
I knew the voice sounded familiar and when he took off his baseball mask I looked at him shocked.
It was Danny!
No . not exactly. He was younger and with dark green eyes.
I didn't even know what to do.
"I guess they were happy and someone else was meant to be happy."
I hugged him and he gave me my first kiss . um well my first kiss in this life. LOL
I felt the crowd of people around me as they picked me up breaking our kiss as they took me away.
Danny laughed as he waved. "um.call me" he said and laughed as he walked off stretching. I was still day dreaming and then I woke up and shouting.
"We won the war!"
"Whoo!" the rest of the team shouted and we kept repeating our chant.
"We're number 1! Golden Hawks! We'll fly to victory with golden wings! We're number 1 golden hawks.."
I learned a lot about friendship and love. I guess I wrote this story for so many purposes I can't even find the main one.
Well, I know why we're free because we're a country that won't ever give up.
I learned love just can't be given sometimes you have to fight for it. When you fight for love then it if true love.
I guess one day I was surfing through and found fanfiction.net and wrote this story to see what it taught you.
It sure taught me something.
We're the land of the free
Because.
We're the home of the Brave

Bravlio looked up at me. "wha?"
"stop eating those brownies!"
"Let's play ball!"
I then noticed there was a cloth hanging off the empire's pocket. It fell and then I ran up to him and gave it to him.
"Hey kid!"
The empire turned around with his face still covered.
"here you dropped this."
The empire smiled. "Hey thanks."
I smiled as we looked at each other for a moment. But I broke the sudden spell.
1 hour later.
"They're killing us!" Ramón said.
"Lia!"
I turned and saw a young boy who was the leader of our team.
"You going. The bases are loaded. If you get us a homerun. We can win by an extra homerun."
I took the bat.
I walked up to the plate.
I had my bat ready looking at it as it came to me. I saw it in such slow motion like I had seen the gunshot and then with force I swung the bat.
BAM!
"Woah it's. it's.. OUT OF HERE!!!!"
Ramón's voice was heard but then I started to run. Everyone in the bases ran and I was the last one.
I then raced as I saw that the kid had found the ball and was racing to get me.
I threw myself and slide. When I heard him say.
"Safe! The Golden Hawks win!!!!"
Everyone started to cheer. They all crowded in on me.
I felt such victory as I saw the other team a bit bummed out.
The team started to scatter around to talk to their parents.
I then saw the same empire who had said save and who's cloth I picked up for. But he came up to me and gave me the cloth.
"Um . thank you.?"
"Nice run there Lia."
I knew the voice sounded familiar and when he took off his baseball mask I looked at him shocked.
It was Danny!
No . not exactly. He was younger and with dark green eyes.
I didn't even know what to do.
"I guess they were happy and someone else was meant to be happy."
I hugged him and he gave me my first kiss . um well my first kiss in this life. LOL
I felt the crowd of people around me as they picked me up breaking our kiss as they took me away.
Danny laughed as he waved. "um.call me" he said and laughed as he walked off stretching. I was still day dreaming and then I woke up and shouting.
"We won the war!"
"Whoo!" the rest of the team shouted and we kept repeating our chant.
"We're number 1! Golden Hawks! We'll fly to victory with golden wings! We're number 1 golden hawks.."
I learned a lot about friendship and love. I guess I wrote this story for so many purposes I can't even find the main one.
Well, I know why we're free because we're a country that won't ever give up.
I learned love just can't be given sometimes you have to fight for it. When you fight for love then it if true love.
I guess one day I was surfing through and found fanfiction.net and wrote this story to see what it taught you.
It sure taught me something.
We're the land of the free
Because.
We're the home of the Brave
