The Dark Sentinel

Everyone appears in my mind; everyone looks at various locked memories, wondering why they're locked.

None of the mares seem to notice me, so I clear my throat to get their attention. They all seemed startled from the sound noise, as it echoes around the black voided room with only precious memeoires locked away.

"Sir Reyes, why are these memories of yours locked away?" Cadence is the one to speak up first.

I let out a deep sigh, walking up to the memories looking over them with a small smile.

"These were my only good memeories I ever had in my entire life. These were the ones that kept me alive and going; The ones that make me not want to just end my life."

The mares gasp in unison, flinching back from the comment.

"But why would you want to end your life? Isn't it scary to die?" Gleaming is the next to ask.

"There's many reasons why I wanted to end my life, like growing up alone in an orphanage, people never wanting to speak to me cause I was weird, and some people that were dear to me either that I had to leave behind or have passed away." I say with a blank look; I look over a certain memory I held very much dearly to me, so I'll be showing this one to them.

I tap my hoof on the lock, unlocking the memory as it shines brightly. The dark room shifts around, adjusting into the memory of mine.

There's destroyed homes along the streets, some at the brink of falling down, and some barley holding on. It's a stormy day, as water pours down from the clouds, thunder roaring out with ferocity, and lightening flashing with pulses of engry.

The mares shield themselves from the rain by surrounding themselves in a bubble of magic. I let the rain hit me, making my mane sag down to my face.

I look around and find my memory self, and point quietly towards my human self. The mares look towards the thing I'm pointing at, there eyes widening a bit.

"Is that what you use to look like?" Luna says with much shock in her voice.

I nod my head.

Luna stares at my human self with her jaw hanging down which the other mares look on the same, except for Celestia.

My human self walks down the street, keeping his rifle trained on anything that moves.

"Sir Reyes, why are there so many houses destroyed?" BlueBelle asks as she turns to look my way.

"That's because a war was going on, a war that's been going on for almost 2 years, and its still continuing as I'm here now." I hold up a hoof to stop the incoming questions.

"Please, everypony, keep all the questions you have until this is all over."

They nod their heads, and look on to the memory.

Reye's Memory First Person P.O.V

Location: California

City: Classified

Year: 2020

Time: 7:00PM

Current mission: Locate civilians and liquidate any enemy hostiles

I scan around with my thermal sensors, looking into each broken down home for any highlighted enemies, but find none. I continue down the street of the homes, and stop adruptly. Four red dots pop up on my HUD; the dots seem to be moving my way from the north, I quickly activate my camoflauge suit, making me more un-seeable by the rain, just as long as I don't move much.

I stand still in the middle of the street aiming my weapon down the road. Voices can be heard, but I can't hear them clearly cause of the heavy rain falling down. I enhance the hearing on my helmet to hone on to the voices.

"Hey John, what are we suppose to do again once we're done killing all the people that survived here?" A female voice says.

"Viranica, how many times do I have to tell you this! We kill the survivors, scavenge for any supplies, and then report back to Ramirõ. Plain and simple, got it?" A gravely voice man speaks out next.

"Yeah yeah, I got it."

"Lighten up babe, once we're done with all this, how bout you and I go to my place and have a little fun." Another male chimes in.

"Pfft, ya right! With what your packing? Ha! Don't make me laugh."

"That's all what men want. Sex. It's fucking ridiculous. Freddy, you ain't getting laid, your fucking ugly, and you got a small dick. So stop trying, and move on." A another female chimes in, but this one sounds tomboyish.

"Shut the fuck up Victoria! You're just mad cause you can get dick from no guy." The one named Freddy, I assume, yells out.

"I can, but I choose not to. At least I can get dick and pussy but you can't get either cause your fucking ugly." Victoria counters back.

I block out there voice as their conversation is starting to annoy me. Once they're close enough to me, I walk up to one of the guys, I put my hand over his mouth and plunge my knife into his throat. I let the body drop, alerting the others of their fallen friend.

"What the hell!? John! Oh shit, Oh shit! Johns dead!" The girls are the ones to run up to their friend looking him over in panic.

I swiftly throw a knife at the other guy, hitting it's target right on his head. He's the next to drop dead onto the floor.

"What fuck is going on!?" One of the girls yell out.

"Who cares! Im fucking outta of here." The girl with the tomboyish voice yells out in panic and bolts down the street, leaving her friend behind.

Before she can get any farther, I snap my sights on to her, and fire off a round into her head.

The last girl jumps up, her weapon shaking in her hands, trying to locate me.

I come up behind her, cover her mouth with one hand, and the other I'm holding a knife to her throat, making her drop her weapon in fear.

I drop my camoflauge; the girls eyes widen in fear at the sight of me. She must know who I am, and what I do.

"Your a mercenary, aren't you?" I ask her.

She starts mumbling into my hand while shaking her head no, as tears roll down her eyes.

"Don't fucking lie to me! Now tell me where your hide out is, or I'll kill you." I say with my usually bored tone at the end.

I release my hand from her mouth. She takes in deep breaths, as she starts to shake a little.

"If I tell you, y-you won't k-kill me, right? She stutters out.

"You tell me and you don't lie about it, then no. I won't kill you."

"Go north down this road, and take a right and you'll see a house with only broken windows. Inside the house there's a basement built under ground the house. That's where our hide out is. Now please, let me go already." She squirms in my arms, tightening my grip on her as I hold my knife closer to her thoart, making her stop in fright.

"Do you have any civilians there in the hideout?"

"Just a little girl we found during our search party. I've told you everything, now let me go!"

She slips out of my grasp, and runs down the street I'm suppose to be heading. I let her run bit away from me, but like with the other girl, I home in on her, and press the trigger. A thunderous crack goes off as lightening flashes brightly.

I've arrived at the hideout, and killed all the mercenaries. Now all I need is to find that little girl.

I walk into a room, and the little girl is laying on a bed curled up into a ball. She's shakes in fear at the sight of me, her eyes widen with fear as tears roll down her cheeks. In a long time I've never felt my heart ache this bad. Just looking at this little girl like this makes my heart ache.

The little girl has brown hair that reaches to her back, and wears a jacket, pants, and boots to keep her from getting cold. She looks to be around seven years old.

I take of my helmet and lower my weapon to the floor, and I walk up to her. She quickly hides herself under a blanket, and starts whimpering under it.

"P-Please mister, d-don't hurt m-me." She says through sobs.

My heart breaks from the sound of her voice. I kneel down toward her, and wrap her in a hug.

"Shh shh....it's ok sweet heart, I'm not going to hurt you." I tell her in a soft fatherly voice. A voice I didn't even know I had.

The little girl latches onto me, tears streaming down my neck as she nuzzles her head under my chin. I sit on the bed, letting her wrap her legs around my my back, her arms wrapped securely around my neck, crying heavily. My heart can't take much more of this, as I let a lone tear slide down my cheek.

I cross my legs and rock back and forth, rubbing her back in comfort while cooing and shushing her quietly.

This gets her to calm down, as she quickly starts to fall asleep against my chest. Soft breaths hit my neck, telling me she's fallen asleep. I lay her down back on the bed, and I check my watch for the time. It's 9:00Pm.

Might as well spend the night here, and head back into the town I found on the way over here.

I set up some traps to alert me of any enemies coming to the hideout. Once all that's down I strip of my armor, leaving only the thermal shirt I have on and my combat cargo pants on. I get in the bed, slowly not to disturb the little girl from her sleep.

I lay down on the bed and get comfortable, shifting around a bit as I do so. The little girls eyes open slightly, looking up at mine tiredly as dry tears stain her cheeks.

She shifts closer to me, nuzzling herself against my chest as she grips my shirt. She quickly falls back to sleep, as little snores escape her mouth.

I drape the blanket over us, wrap my arms around the little girl, and secure against my chest.

I sigh out. Poor kid. I mentally say.

I let sleep take over me and yawn, my mind drifting off into slumber.

I let out a groan, feeling my mind and body start to awaken. My eyes drift open to see the little girl draped around me, her head tucked under my chin, as she still sleeps soundly.

I move to get up, but the little girl whines and clutches onto my shirt.

"Hey kiddo, c'mon wake up." I say softly to her, nudging her a little.

"Mm, noo. Five more minutes." She whines cutely and wraps her legs round my back and nuzzles her face into my chest.

This gets a small smile on my face. "C'mon kiddo, I have to get you somewhere safe first, and then you can have more sleep."

She yawns and rubs her eyes. "Okay."

She lets go of me, and I get up and put back on my armor. The little girl seems to watch curiously at this, as she has her head tilted to the side in a cute manner.

"So..." I being, "you got a name sweet heart?"

She shakes her head. "No." She says shyly.

"Do you have parents?"

She shakes her head again.

Oh wow. She's a lot like me then. An orphan.

"Would you like a name?"

She nods her head as a smile spreads across her face.

"Alright. How about Allison? How does that name sound like to you?" I send a warm smile to her.

"I like it, mister." She says happily, smile shining brightly.

"Aight cool. Well Allison, my name is Reyes. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you, too, mister Reyes."

I shake my head, "Just call me Reyes kiddo. The mister and sir thing make me sound old, so my name is just fine, alright." I pat her head.

She nods her head, her happy smile never seeming to go away.

I stand up, put on my helmet on, and check over all my weapons and gear. Once everything is all checked and counted for, my lenses from my helmet glow a deep blue which scares the little girl a bit.

"Sorry kiddo, I didn't mean to scare you." I lightly ruffle her hair, making her giggle in the process.

She looks up at me, her arms out stretched to me, indicating that she wants to be carried.

"Can you carry me?" She asks with a pouty teary look.

Just by looking at her, my heart aches with the sudden feeling of cuteness that Allison gives off. She makes a grabbing motion with her hands, her lip quivering, and her eyes ready to spill tears.

I can't take it no more. I strap my rifle to my back, and gently pick her up, I cradle her in my left arm. Her legs wrap my torso and her arms wrap around my neck. She giggles cutely. Her giggles are just heart warming to hear.

I can already feel in my heart that I'm going to get close to this girl. Even though my mind tells me not to; Not to show any emotion nor feel or I'll end up weak; My heart and mind are in a battle, but right now......I'm siding with my heart because I want my life to change, and I know Allison will be able to do that; To make my life much more brighter than it is now. I'll do everything in my power to keep this girl safe, to make her life better, to see her grow up. But God himself will only know what happens to her or me. Though I already know he won't cause no pain to anyone. He only brings happiness to those who truly are good in the heart, mind, and soul. Though in my heart, mind, and soul, I can feel things won't go as good as I want it to be. If only God himself can change that for me.

It's been 2 years since I found Allison. We've been getting very close since those past 2 years. I gotta say that she has changed my life tremendously. She's now nine years old, staying at the base in my room. I've convinced the general to let her stay with me because she didn't want to be left at the sanctuary hideout where she couldn't see me. After I've convinced him, he let her stay there as long as she behaved and not cause any trouble, to which Allison agreed to. Every time I come back from a mission, Allison awaits for me in my room. She always rushes up to me and gives me the biggest and warmest hugs. It always cheers me up seeing her like this when I come back from some stressful missions. At times when I've come back, she always says, "Welcome back daddy! I've missed you so much." She tells me with the biggest smile on her face. Her calling me daddy brings a warm father feeling to my heart, it almost brings me to tears from hearing her calling me that. I've never had a girl to settle down with and have a family with because I was never the social type, so having her telling things that a daughter would brings such joy to me. But I know in my mind that this isn't going to turn out has happy as I want it. My mind tells me this everyday I get off missions and spend my time with Allison, that this won't last long for me, this happiness. But I ignore it and leave it be.

Right now I'm heading back to the base, ready to see the bright smiling face of Allison jumping at me with her trade mark warm hugs. Thinking about all this starts to make me impatient, so I start to jog the whole way back.

Once I arrive, I spot the guards who are suppose to be guarding the front gates dead on the floor. Blood pouring out from their freshly made bullet wounds.

Thinking back to Allison kicks in my instincts on overdrive, running past the dead guards, I run into the base.

Bodies of deceased people liter the floor of the base. Men and women shot dead on the floor.

I don't know how this happened. How did enemies get into the base so easily into a heavily guarded base? Then it hits me. Those fucking war dogs always had heavy military weapons and gear. There's no signs of the war dogs here. This must of moved out before any reinforcements can arrive.

Allison. Allison is on my mind. Dread fills my body from seeing all these dead people. I run past everything, heading to my room with speed that would match a jaguar.

I arrive to my room door and kick it open. I quickly rush inside, "Allison! All-..." My yelling stops adruplty, noticing the trail of blood leading up to Allison who lays against a wall, her head slumped down. Her head lifts up slowly, and looks at me with teary eyes.

"D-D-Daddy...." she says, as she coughs up blood onto the floor.

I rush up to her and lay her on my lap, tears now streaming down my face as I hold her. "It's ok sweet heart, daddy's here." I say softly, stroking her hair softly. My hand trembles as I run my fingers through her hair.

"It hurts d-daddy. My s-side h-h-hurts a lot." Tears start to flow freely from her eyes. She looks up at me with eyes that show much pain and fear.

I scan her body and spot the bullet wound on the right of her waist. The wound looks deep, so I don't know what to do. Everyone is dead, I'm to far from any other base that's around. I start to weep silently, holding Allison close to me, wanting her to stay and not leave me in this dark lonely war infested world.

"I'm s-sorry Allison, I'm so so sorry. Only if I would've gotten h-here sooner I would've saved you." I feel Allsion's hand grip mine.

I look down at her with my tearful look, her doing the same as she flashes me her smile. "Don't cry daddy *cough* I don't l-like seeing you this w-way *cough*" she says weakly.

Her eyes start to droop a little, her skin being pale from all the blood she's losing, and body shivering as if she were cold.

"I'm so tired and cold, d-daddy." She nuzzles her head into my lap tiredly.

"It's ok sweet heart. Just go to sleep and you'll warm up. You'll be in a better place, I promise you. I'll be there with you once you wake up, okay?" I softly tell her, my hands going completely numb now.

Her eyes close shut and what I hear next shatters my heart. "I love you.....daddy." Her last breath draws out her hand falls off mine, falling limply to floor.

The room is quite, no sound, no nothing. All you can hear is the soft breathing of me. My whole world once again nothing but complete darkness. Nothing to bring brightness and love to my heart, nothing to cheer me up after a stressful mission, nothing to tell me.......I love you. Those three words that make me strive to live, to fight, and to keep that person safe from harm. But now look......I couldn't even keep Allison safe.

I pull out my pistol, cock it back, and point it to my head. I struggle to press the trigger. I know Allison wouldn't want me to do this, but I want to see her again, I want her to keep giving me those warm hugs she always gave me, I want to hear her giggle every time we play, I want to see her smile that always seems to cheer up my darkest of moods, I want......her to tell me she loves me and to call me her dad. But now I know she can't tell me anything because of those war dogs.

I stand up, taking Allison's body with me, I walk out the room, out the base, and into the godforsaken world. It's raining; I walk down a road that's to the south of the base. It's where me and Allison use to go to when it's calm and there's no war commotion going on.

Once I arrive, I set Allison's body done onto the ground gently. I look at the river and nod my head, and so then I begin creating a small casket made out of wood. Wrapping the wood together with some metal wire I had on me. Once the casket is done, I start putting all the flowers she liked here from the river. After that's all done I put Allison's body into the casket. I close my eyes, make a quick prayer, and set the casket into the river.

I watch as the river slowly takes the casket away, my mind setting a goal to destroy any war dogs I see; no mercy.

I don't care if they're man or woman, I slaughter all of them. They took the thing that was precious to me, so I'm going to take they're lifes.

I get up, ready my gear, and walk towards the first war dog base marked on my H.U.D. My mind and body are boiling with rage that I can not contain no more. Those S.O.Bs will wish they have never fucked with me and have took Allison away from me.

Memory Ended

The spell has ended after it shows my memory self storming off with rage. The girls are in tears; they're shocked; they're saddened; they're enraged; they're horrified. All theses emotions are being shown through their eyes. They show all these emotions, but I.....I don't show mine at all. I can't. They only way I was able to do that was Allison. She's the one that opened my heart, and now she's gone.

Cadence is the one to speak first, her eyes turning my way. Her eyes are puffy and red from all the tears she's been spilling. "S-Sir Reyes, I-I don't k-know what to s-say, b-but give-......"

Cadence gets interrupted by Luna who has banged her hooves on the table. Everyone looks at her way, her eyes souly trained on mine. "Sir Reyes, y-you had a daughter named A-A-Allison, correct?"

I nod my head, not knowing what she's getting to. But the next think she says makes my heart skip a beat.

"I've met her, in her dreams. She's in Ponyville Orphanage, Sir Reyes. She's alive." She tells softly, a smile she gives off that tells me the truth.

I get off my chair and stare at Luna with a pleading look. "Please princess, take me to her. I want to see her! Please, I beg you!"

Luna smiles her horn glowing, and in a flash everyone is gone.

Location: Ponyville

Time: 6:05PM

We all appear in Ponyville, ponies in town stop their ativicties after noticing their princesses have arrived. I don't care much about that though, I just want my get Allison. I look around frantically, trying to spot the orphanage. I spot it to the left of me, so I sprint to the building and open the doors. I walk up to a desk where a mare sits.

Before she can say anything I interrupt her, "Ma'am, do you have a little girl named Allison?" I ask as calmly as possible.

She smiles and nods her head. "Yes we do. Are you looking to-....." She stops midsentce after seeing the princesses pop into the room that I'm in.

She quickly bows, not telling me where she is. So fuck it, I rush past her and into the back. I run down a hall that leads to another door. Hearing the sounds of kids in there makes me drive my legs faster to get there. I open the doors with bang. All the kids stop their activities and look up at me either with fright at my or amazement in their sparkling curious eyes.

I look around, "Allison! Allison, where are you?!" I start down the rows of bunk beds, waiting to her Allison's voice.

"Allison it's me Reyes! Please come out sweet heart!" I look around at all the kids who just stare up at me. My heart skips a beat again. The voice of Allison speaks out from the back.

"Daddy! Daddy, is that you?!"

I look to the back all the kids, and see someone moving towards me, the kids moving aside so they can let the pony through.

A filly pops out from the crowd of fillies and colts, and stops in front of me. Her hair is the same as it is, her coat the is a tan color, and her hazel eyes shine like they always do. She looks up at me, her neck bending back to get a better look at me. The filly walks up to me, her legs shaking as she takes a couple steps towards me.

"D-Daddy.....i-is that really y-you?" She says with tears of sliding down her checks. Her eyes glisten with hope.

I multiple hoof steps walk into the room, but I don't look to the door. My eyes stay glued onto Allison. I know it's her because of her voice.

"Yes. It's me sweet heart." I move my head down towards her, and nuzzle her cheek. Tears start to flow down my cheeks now. "I've missed you so much, Allison." I say with much softness in my voice.

Allison wraps her tiny hooves against my head and nuzzles her head against mine. "Daddy it really is you, it really is!" She screams out happily as her high pitch voice cracks a little, making her sound cute.

This brings a smile to my face. I wrap my hooves around her, nuzzling and licking her cheek. I don't know why I'm licking her, but it just feels right to do so.

"Oh daddy, I've missed you so much. You look so different and your still big and tall!" She giggles, her tears drying away, like if they were never there.

I just smile warmly, and hug her against me. I hear sniffles going around. I look around and see every filly and colt, the princesses and some new princess, new ponies I haven't seen before with kids with them, and the mare that was at the desk. They're all looking at me and Allison with tears of their own. One mare with a white clean coat and violet curled mane cries out dramatically on a sofa with her hoof over her eyes.

I put Allison on my back, and let her adjust herself to sit comfortably.

"Wow! I'm so high up off the ground." She says in excitement as she hugs herself around the neck.

"Hey it's Twilight and her friends! Hey guys, come meet my daddy." She waves to the mares and stallions at the door who stand next to the princesses.

"Hey kiddo, you know them," I ask.

She nods her head happily. "Yup. They always come over to play with us, and always bring their kids with them too."

I let out a grunt and return back to my normal self, not wanting them to see my soft side to much. Allison sees and giggles. Instead of them walking up to me, I walk up to them. But I get inturpted with a flash. I blink my eyes and see that we're in a library now.

I hear someone clear their thoart, so I look their way. I see five stallions and a dragon giving glares, all them standing in front of the mares and princesses.

"You mind explaining who you are?" The dragon says with his wings spread out wide, trying to be intimidate me.

My eyes blink slowly as I give him a bored look. "No." I state simply.

Then out of no where a pegasus stallion rushed up to with quick speeds, but not quick enough. In flash my instincts kick. I pull of my pistol with my magic, cock the pistol back and point it at the forehead of the pegasus. He's stopped mid-flight, and stares wide eyed at the weapon pointed at his head.

"Move another inch and I'll blow your head to bits." I say threateningly to him, but as uausal Allison catches my bluff and scolds me.

"Daddy! Stop being so mean, and leave Flash alone, and put that gun away now!" I sigh and put my pistol away.

Allison looks to Flash Sentry with a apologetic look. "Sorry Flash, he gets overprotective."

"Y-Ya, I c-can see that, but what the heck was that thing that he pointed at me?" He says look looking a little spooked.

"That was a weapon from his world." Luna says.

"His world? What you mean by that?" A southern stallion asks the Luna.

Luna tells the everyone how I ended up here, and what me and Allison use to be. She talks about my memory, and how everything went on in it. A few tears shredded here and there. The stallions and mares relaxing knowing the way I act is because I don't want to lose Allison again. Then she talks about my weapons and how they work and what they do. Some of the stallions seemed interested in my weapons, but were on edge when I showed them my weapon again. This got the girls giggling at how scared they were. Then after that Gleaminh Shield poofs into a stallion; He's been a stallion, but Cadence put a spell on him because he left his daughter Flurry Heart all by herself in the castle not once but twice. The princesses were all treating him like a mare, and even started calling him princess. This got the mares and stallions to laugh up a storm which got Allison to laugh with them as well. Me though, I just kept my dead fish eye look. After all that was done with it, I introduced myself and they introduced themselves. The names I know so far are Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, FlutterShy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Flash Sentry, Golden Delicious, Soarin, Spike, Pokey Pierce, Gleaming Shield who is now Shining Armor, and this crazy mismatched guy who's name is Discord. His voice sounds so familiar from somewhere, but I can't my hoof on it. We all talk for a bit, but as usual I don't say much. I just play with Allison and the rest of the kids of the mares and stallions. They seem to smile at how I'm so caring with the kids. I quickly tell to them buzz off which they just laugh.

I'm deep in thought at the moment, something that I'm suppose to do at the castle, but what was it. My thoughts and the ponies conversation gets stop adruplty from the door being kicked opened.

Brave Heart stands at the door, no armor, mane sticking out in odd angles and has this crazed look in her eye. She's breathing heavily as she looks around the room. Her eyes snap onto me, her eyes narrmowing as she grits her teeth. She walks up me fuming the whole way. The mares and stallions moving aside, scared of the mare that stomps her way towards me.

She stops in front of me, her eyes narrowing into slits. "So......you thought you can just bail on me and not tell me you were coming here, hmm?" She says with her muzzle inches away from mine.

A small bit of fear tingles up my spine as I look into her golden soul piercing eyes. "No I didn't bail on you. I had to find my daughter, so I came here to Ponyville and get her." I say trying now to stutter out in fear or try to even show it. This mare might be smaller than me, but fuck, she sure damn is scary.

Her eyes widen and see steps back. "You have a d-daughter?" She says with sadness in her voice.

I nod my head. This gets her to slump her head down and her ears to fold back. "So that m-means your t-taken already?" She says softly.

I raise a brow, "I'm not taken. This is just my adoptive daughter." I state simply.

Her head springs back up with a bright smile, and launches herself onto my chest. She nuzzles her face onto my chest fluff and sighs happily. "Then that means your all mine." She says in possessive way, as she grips herself onto my body.

I feel my face warming up, so I'll away from everybody so no one can see. But Allison has to be the one to rat me out on my flushed face.

"Daddy?! Are you blushing?!?!" She blurts out in a surprised manner.

Everyone looks my way, but I don't say anything and keep my head to the side.

Brave Heart looks up at me but I don't look at her.

Brave Hearts P.O.V

I look up at him with sparkling hope in my eyes; Wanting to know if he really likes me. His face is turned the other way so I can't see his blushing face.

"Reyes, please look at me." I see his eyes shift my way but he doesn't budge.

Then he looks my way entirely, his muzzle flushed in a deep red, as he looks into my eyes. I send a cheeky grin his way knowing that he does like me.

"So you do like me, uh? Don't try hiding it cause you blushing gives it away." I say with a giggle.

He just sighs, as every mare lets out 'aww's'. I nuzzle into Reyes's fluffy chest, a blush now sneaking into my muzzle. I know he likes me, but he's to ignorant to show it. Oh I can't wait to tell the girls back at the barracks. They'll be jealous of me getting at him first.
