"The (1)Battle Hymn of Love"

In my last story, U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon and his girlfriend Sunshine MacGillicutty have returned from their adventure in the rapids and subsequent rescue by some Apaches.

Jess Colter was STILL at large, and Matt was getting ready to go after him.
Sunshine:"Matt Dillon!! You get your *** right back here!
(2) Are you listening to me ?!"
Matt stood there, smiling; Accustomed , at this point, with her enormously protective nature and ROBUST way of verballizing her thoughts!!

Matt:"Sunny..... I have already explained this to you. Why can you not comprehend that this is my job?! Come on sweetie...
Just (3) Keep the home fires burning. I'll be back before you know it."
Sunshine:"Keep the WHAT?!!! Who do you think I AM.........
Betsy Ross?!!! I'm not going to sit around here sewing while you're out there getting killed. WHY won't you take me?!"
Matt:" Don't be ridiculous!!"
Sunshine glared at him......"Why won't you take a posse?"
Matt:"This is personal. Now please get out of my way."
Sunshine:"Man, oh man!!! (5) Every day's the same !! You just HAVE to do everything alone !!"
Matt was getting angry. He moved her out of his way and went outside.
Sunshine:"Well... I'm just going to follow you!!!"
Matt:"If you do that .....WE are in big trouble!" He looked at her with an expression that startled her.
Sunshine:"What the heck does THAT mean?"
Matt:"Figure it out."
He mounted his horse, saluted (4) That grand old flag they had in their front yard, and looked at her intently...... "You stay put and that's an order!!" He rode off.

Sunshine ran to the barn to saddle up her horse, Pickett's Charge. Pickett was gone.
Sunshine:"MATT!!!!!!!"
He had taken her horse to town the day before. Ostensibly for a loose show. (He KNEW she would want to follow him.) Sunshine THOUGHT he had brought her back.
She was so angry she was speechless! ( For about 10 seconds, that is!!)

Sunshine:"Well NOW what did I do with myself?!"She remembered that she had a rehearsal that day with "The Dodge Boys"......... Her band. She got her guitar and started her long walk to town.
When she and the boys finally got together, they could tell she was really upset about something.
Sam Noone, the fiddle player and bartender at the Long Branch ...... "You look ready to hit someone, Miss Sunshine!"
He handed her the guitar. " Here. (6) Hit it a lick for me."

As I sat listening to the Battle Hymn of the Republic on the 4th of July, my wife asked me again "Are you listening to me?" (she was trying to get me to start the barbecue). As I moved from the front lawn to the deck - that grand old flag was swaying ever so gently with the light breeze that seemed to be present since the morning. On most days I feel that every day is the same; but, this day was a special day. I then began playing my favorite Frank Sinatra music (following the Battle Hymn) I imagined for a brief moment - that old blue eyes himself would tell the rest of the Rat Pack to "Hit it a lick for me Sammy, Dino, Joey, this one is for that kid on Y!A - let's keep the home fires burning".

Thanks for your service to our country - this was fun! And thanks to you Haroula for starring this question. One Star and one thumbs up coming both your way after I submit this baby!
