Authors Note
This is a clip from the movie Swing Kids. It's an excellent movie. I highly recommend it. Warning though it's pretty sad. Anyway I'll let you guys know when to play the clip.
Enjoy! 😊

The rest of training went by so fast. Pretty soon we were all lined up in front of Agent Atwell and Colonel Pines awaiting their speech.
  Agent Atwell stepped forward proudly. "Well I suppose I can no longer call you all ladies. Your training has been completed boys. And I must say I'm quite proud to have trained you all."
   "You all will have a week with your families before war calls for you men. Also we will now announce our Sergeant." Pines added.
  "James Barnes!" Agent Atwell said proudly. Bucky looked at me. He looked surprised. I couldn't imagine why.
  But he accepted his new uniform nonetheless. He seemed quite pleased with himself. The troops were now going around the camp saying their goodbyes. Agent Atwell came up to me.
  "I'll miss you. It's nice to have another gal around who isn't ridiculously brainless and giggly." She said.
  "I'll miss you as well. You won't be at the camp?" I asked. Lizzie shook her head with a small sad smile.
  "At least not at your new one. But hey cheer up you and Sergeant Romeo can go home and enjoy each other for a while before you you know go win the war."
  I nodded. "And I'll get see my brother too."
  "Steve right?" Lizzie asked.
"Yes, he's a bit of an idiot. His hearts to big for his own good. He really wanted to be here." I said sadly.
  "I know, I hear he's still trying to sign up. You  Rogers so determined and heroic. I admire you."
  I chuckled. "Thank you."
   "So you going to the after party thing?" I asked. Lizzie shook her head.
   "No, I have work to attend to. You have fun though you and Barnes." Lizzie said.
  We hugged. Lizzie Atwell was the first girl friend I've ever had. I was going to miss her. I began to walk away.
  "Hey Katie?" She called.
  I turned to face her once more.
    "This isn't the end for us I don't think." She said. I smiled. "Well of course not I'm a Rogers can't get rid of me that easy." I called back.
  She saluted me. I did so back.
*************************************
  Most of the troops had gone a little down the street to a nice little swing club. Me and Bucky included.
  Music blared the lights were dim and I sat next to Bucky on a bar stool. The whole night we'd been drinking and cracking jokes. That's when Bucky jumped up.
   "Where you going Sergeant Barnes?" I asked.
  He smirked, "I'm taking my gal dancing."
  I smiled and hopped off the stool as well. Bucky had a seductive smirk on his face. He started slowly approaching me snapping his fingers till he was only inches apart from me.
  "How do I look?" I asked. Bucky looked me up and down. My long golden hair was in a messy partially braided bun and I wore a touch of make up.
I had a simple black swing dress on.

 "Like gold

"Like gold." Bucky said before sweeping me onto the dance floor.
  The music was fast paced which was the only type of songs me a Bucky danced to. We danced together perfectly. Probably because we were soul mates and every Friday night Bucky takes me dancing. It was thrilling and magical.

When the music stopped Bucky held  me in a dip. He kissed me. The whole club cheered. Me and Bucky stared into each other's eyes.
*********^**************^***********
  I have to admit that by the time Bucky and I's taxi arrived I was slightly drunk.
  "I can't believe this! I'm Sergeant Barnes!" Bucky exclaimed once we were in the car.
  I giggled. "Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes."
"Yup Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes of the 107th winning the war with his pretty little girlfriend." Bucky said happily.
I giggled again. "Just shut up and kiss me."
"I can if you come here." Bucky said. I scooted closer to him. I kneeled on the seat in front of him.
He took me in his arms and we kissed his tongue skimming gently across my bottom lip slightly.
"Hey quit it back there!" The taxi driver ordered.
"Just keep staring at the road!" Bucky snapped back before kissing me again.
"I love you more than anything." I whispered to Bucky our lips just a few centimeters apart.
"I love you more." Bucky whispered back.
"And I love you most."
Bucky chuckled softly. "You're adorable."
"You're cuter."
We had that little fake argument all the time. It was kind of our thing somewhat. Bucky pulled me onto his lap. I rested my head on his chest. Pretty soon I had fallen asleep on him.
