You wake up and roll over in your small bed. You liked Michael, and those two idiots had ruined everything. And now you just had to move on. You swing your legs off the bed and spring up. Today is a new day, a fresh start. You walk over to your wardrobe and look through your dresses. You picked out a navy blue dress that fell just below your knees. It has short sleeves and a V neckline with a long notched collar. You add a blue and white striped scarf as well as a brown belt and a matching bag. You walk to the kitchen and sit down when the phone starts ringing. You run over and pick up the receiver. "Hello, this is Y/N Rogers speaking, how may I help you?" You look up as Steve walks into the room. He raises one eyebrow and you shrug your shoulders. "Good morning Y/N, this is Michael." You smile and turn away from Steve. "Ooh, hi Michael! Sorry about my brother and his friend, they truly are a nightmare."  Steve frowns and starts aggressively making his coffee. "Yeah, I guessed. Well, I happen to have an extra ticket to the Stark Expo if you wanted to join me." You smile and turn to Steve, grinning as you reply. "That sounds amazing, it's a date." Steve's eyes widen and he frowns. "Good, well, I'll meet you tomorrow, at the Expo." You twirl the phone cord around your finger and lean back in your chair. "Amazing, see you then Michael." You put down the receiver and smile at Steve. He frowns and sips his coffee. "So, I guess you are busy today then. Shame, I had plans for us." You smile and smack his shoulder. "No, I have a date tonight. I am completely free until tonight. So, let me hear your plans." Steve sits up, smiles, and puts his mug down. "Well, there is a new Sherlock Holmes movie being released today at the cinema, so I thought we'd catch it." You steal his cup of coffee and take a long sip. "Sounds perfect!"

...

You sit down next to Steve near the back. "I'm telling you, these are the perfect seats!" You roll your eyes and grab the popcorn from his hands. The room goes dark and the screen lights up. It shows a flag, and a stoic voice starts speaking. "War continues to ravage Europe, but help is on the way." The screen shows footage of guns firing and men matching. "Every able-bodied young man is lining up to serve his country." You turn your head and see Steve biting his nails as they show people getting assessed to be enlisted. "Even little Timmy is doing his part collecting scrap metal. Nice work Timmy!" A small boy is shown digging through piles of loose metal. One man, frustrated, starts to yell. "Who cares? Play the movie already!" Steve leans forward slightly. "Hey, wanna show some respect?" The voice starts up again while a video of injured men flashes across the screen. "Meanwhile, overseas, our brave boys are showing the Axis powers that the price of freedom is never too high." The man sighs and shakes his hand at the screen. "Let's go! Get on with it! Hey, just start the cartoon!" Steve leans forward and your eyes widen. This will not end well. "Hey, wanna shut up?" The man stands up and turns around to face Steve. You clutch your popcorn and tense your shoulders. "Oh no."

The guy punches Steve right across the face, making him fall to the floor. You run down the alleyway to him, but the mixture of heels and loose cobblestone slows you down. He punches him to the ground again as you reach the end of the alley. "Hey, back off!" The guy laughs. "What are you gonna do? Be careful, you might tear your dress!" He shakes his head and punches Steve again. You kick him in the back of the knees and crouch beside Steve, ignoring the man's cry of pain. "Are you okay?" The man steps back as Steve stands again. "You just don't know when to give up, do you?" You frown as Steve clenches his fists. "I could do this all day." Steve goes to punch him, but the man grabs his arm and punches Steve once more. You stand up and kick the man in the gut, causing him to stumble back. Bucky appears from behind him and grabs his shoulder. He spins the guy to face him and tosses him to the side. "Pick on someone your own size." The guy tries to punch Bucky, but misses, giving Bucky a chance to punch him in the face. The guy stumbles forward and turns away. Bucky kicks him forward and he runs off. Bucky walks back to Steve and helps him up. "Sometimes I think you like getting punched." Steve wipes blood from his lip. "I had him on the ropes." You chuckle and look at him. "Yeah, and I'm Katharine Hepburn." Bucky picks up the enlistment form from the ground. "How many times is this?" He hands you the form and you read it. "Oh, you're from Paramus now!" Bucky looks at Steve with a frown. "You know it's illegal to lie on your enlistment form. And seriously, Jersey?" Steve looks up and notices that Bucky is in a military uniform. "You get your orders?" Bucky looks at the ground, curling his lips. "The 107th. Sergeant James Barnes, shipping out for England first thing tomorrow." Steve looks to the floor and shakes his head. "I should be going."  Bucky laughs and grabs Steve by the shoulder. "Come on man, my last night! I got to get you cleaned up." Steve groans and looks at Bucky as you all start to walk back up the alley. "Why? Where are we going?" Bucky hands Steve a newspaper open on the Stark Expo page. "The future, and to crash Y/N's date."

...

You get out a red dress and lay it on the bed. It has a bow on the right side along the waistband. It stops just below the knees and fans out. It has a sweetheart neckline and short tight sleeves. You grab your red heels and sigh. "Perfect." You put on the outfit and some red lipstick. You grab a red bag and walk out into the living room. Steve shakes his head. "How do you have so many outfits?" You walk towards him and smile. "Because I don't constantly ruin mine by getting beaten up." Bucky walks into the room and smiles. "We all ready to go?" You nod and walk to the door. "Imagine not having dates, you know, like losers." Steve sticks his tongue out and Bucky smiles. "Actually..." Steve shakes his head. Bucky rubs the back of his head and grins. "Surprise Steve, we have dates." Steve throws his head back and groans, You hit him on the arm as you laugh. "Come on Steve, are girls really that bad? I mean, look at me! I'm amazing!" Steve shakes his head and puts his arm up. "If all girls are like you, I am more than happy staying single." Bucky, without looking, hands you a newspaper and you smack Steve over the head with it. You walk out the door and swing back into the room. "Are you coming or what?"

"I don't see what the problem is. You're about to be the last eligible man in New York! You know there's three and a half million women here?" You look at Bucky. "And he can't get any of them." Steve frowns and you chuckle. Bucky looks at the huge crowd outside the expo. "Where are your supposed dates boys?" You smile as you get closer and closer to the expo. Bucky waves down two girls and you all walk over. "What'd you tell her about me?" Bucky looks at Steve. "Only the good stuff." You smile. "So nothing then?" Steve frowns and you take a curtsey. You spot Michael and smile at the boys. "This is where I leave you, gentleman, my date is here. Steve, don't bore yours to death." Steve hits your shoulder and Bucky chuckles as you walk away. You walk over to Michael and smile. "Why hello handsome stranger." He turns around and raises the corner of his mouth. "Hello to you too beautiful madam. Shall we enter?" He holds out his arm and you take it. "We shall."

You walk around the expo looking at all the amazing pieces of technology. You stop at the main demonstration to watch the singers as they warm up the crowd.

A little bird told me that you love me (that you love me)
And I believe that you do (I believe you)

The girls are wearing black top hats and tailcoats with matching shorts. They have red flowers on their chest and black and white striped vests.

This little bird told me I was fallin' (really fallin')
Fallin' for no one but you (no one but you)

The girls dance across the stage in front of a red car, with the exception of the main singer, a brunette who was standing at the front. 

There's no use denying I might as well confess
Of all the boys I know, dear, I'm sure I love you best

As the song finishes, you start clapping and Michael taps your shoulder. "I'm going to go get some food, want anything?" You shake your head and smile. "Are you sure you want to go now, you'll miss the demonstration?" He just nods and walks off. You turn back to the stage as the main singer speaks into the microphone. "Ladies and gentleman, Howard Stark!" The crowd starts cheering as the man walks onto the stage. He stops in front of you and winks, and you can't help but blush. He grabs the microphone and stands in front of the car. "Ladies and gentleman, what if I told you in a few short years, your automobile won't even have to touch the ground at all?" The ladies grab the tires and pull them off the car. Howard goes to a small metal panel off to the side as they walk off. "Yes, thank you, Mandy. With Stark Gravitic Reversion Technology, you'll be able to do just that." He twists a nob on the panel and pulls a notch upwards. As he pulls the notch, the car lifts into the air with a mechanical hum. You stare in awe as it floats higher and higher. The silver mechanics in place of the tires start to spark, and the car suddenly plummets, causing everyone to flinch. "I did say a few years, didn't I?" Everyone claps and cheers as the music starts playing again.

You leave the area near the stage when you spot Michael. You stop in your tracks as you watch him kissing another girl in front of the food stands. You walk over and tap him on the shoulder. He turns around and sheepishly grins. "Oh, hey Y/N, I was, um, just coming back." You scowl and look him in the eyes. "Don't bother." You knee him where it hurts and walk away. You walk around the pavilion, trying to delay going back to the apartment when you bump into someone. "Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry, I should watch where I'm going." As the man turns around you see that it's Howard Stark. "Oh, that's fine with me." He takes your hand and kisses it. You blush and bring it to your side. "That was an amazing show, the car was floating!" He nodded but frowned. "Yeah but after that, it fell. What's your name?" You look at him and smile. "Y/N Rogers. Your work is outstanding, I'm just a teacher at the local high school." Howard takes a step back. "All I have to do is science, you have to deal with children, that is decidedly worse." You both laugh. "So, will you be joining the army, Mr. Stark?" He scoffs. "Please, Mr. Stark was my father, call me Howard. And no, I will not be fighting, I might break a nail. What about you?" You chuckle and look at him. "Well I might be going as a nurse, but nothing is decided." He nods his head and sighs. "All the good girls go to war I see." You grin. "I'm not that good Howard." He hands you a small piece of paper. "My number, call it." You nod your head as he walks away. "Maybe, but do you know how much this could sell for?" He laughs and stops walking. "Do, call it I mean." You smile and wave to him, then see Bucky walk away from an enlistment booth with both girls attached at his hip. You shake your head and sigh before going in to wait for Steve.

You step into the small building and sigh. With plain cream walls and army posters everywhere, it isn't your ideal decoration. You see a man in glass and a suit holding a file and run up to him. "Hello, I am so sorry to bother you, but have you seen a man by the name of Steve Rogers?" He stops walking and turns to you. "No. I am Dr. Abraham Erskine, why are you looking for him?" His German accent throws you for a second, but without hesitation, you shake his outstretched hand. "I am Y/N Rogers, his sister. I don't want him to get hurt by going to war. But, he does want to go, and I know that no one will be able to stop him, he's quite determined. Whether it's stupidity or nobility, I have no idea." The doctor nods his head and gestures to you. "Well Ms. Rogers, are you joining the war efforts?" You smile and nod. "If my brother goes, then I will become a nurse. It's no use worrying about him at home when I could be worrying about him and helping people." He nods his head and writes something on the file in his hands. "Well, I hope to see you as a nurse, or never again." You smile and nod as he walks away. A few minutes later Steve comes out smiling and holding a form. Your mouth curves upward, but you're not happy. Looks like you're going to be a nurse.
