((I'm going to start using my new name in the RP now...)

Quirton broke out of the hug and Jake wrapped an arm around her.

"Sam, this is my soon-to-be-husband, Jacob Fischer," said Quirston happily.

Jake grinned and said, "Hey, so your Sam? Quirston talks about you all the time."

"Pleasure to meet you!" Sam smiled, holding out her hand for him to shake.

Jake shook her hand.

"Jake is training to be in the coastguard," said Quirston, "he wants to be a rescue swimmer."

Jake nodded and whispered something to Quirston in a serious tone.

"...Alaska?" Quirston asked shocked.

The smile on Sam's face fell. She nodded knowingly and stepped back. "Good luck to you. I..." she paused. "Will this be before or after the wedding?"

Quirston looked up at Jake, "When does the training end exactly?" she asked, "Are you sure their shipping you off to Alaska?"

Jake grimly nodded his head, "Training ends in a few weeks. then I'm off to Kodiak. you don't have to come with me if you want."

"No," Quirston said, "I want to go with you."

Sam choked back tears. "My...my boyfriend's being shipped off tomorrow." Sam sighed, her voice shaking. She hadn't told her sister yet, because she'd been afraid to tell herself.

"Who exactly is you boyfriend?" Quirston asked.

Jake and Quirston sat down on the couch and Jake wrapped his arms around her. she was figuring out how fast she'd have to throw a wedding together if she didn't want to get married in Alaska.

"Hi name's Billy." Sam answered, leaning against a wall.

"Billy who?" Jake asked, "'cause I know a Billy..."

Quirston looked deep in thought when she suddenly said, "It's impossible!", in a loud voice.

Sam looked over at her sister, then turned back to Jake. "Hodge. He was in class..." she thought for a moment. "55-06."

"Oh," said Jake, "You know he failed and he's in class again, right?", he added sneering.

"Jake!" Quirston cried, "you don't say that to people like that!"

"Yes." She gave him an odd look. "Oh! I forgot! He's not leaving yet. They weren't done as soon as he'd thought. And it's fine. I don't mind if he notices. It just proves that Billy's brave for going back," Sam said, smiling.

"Yes," said Quiston giving Jake a glare, "but I've told him not to use that tone about it."

Jake grinned and held up his hands in a, "What can I do?", gesture.

She walked over to Jake and gave him a light slap on the side of the face. "No..it isn't. Especially to one of your superiors..." she looked over at her sister. "I graduated a year ago and have been in action since."

Jake made a face, "But who's name holds all them records?" he asked.

Quirston did a face palm, "You'll have to excuse him Sam, the only thing that surpasses his pride is his ego."

Sam smiled and got right back up in his face so that it was just inches from his. "I haven't lost a person yet....but you keep your little records. I'm sure they make you feel very proud." she winked at her sister.
