Enlisted

Fit For A Laugh

Henry Blake was working in the operating room, and there were enough doctors for people at the moment. Since Henry Blake wasn't in the room, Radar and I were in there goofing off. He was pretending to be Henry and we were laughing and just chilling. He looked so cute when he was drinking brandy and smoking cigars. I was sitting right near him drinking a small amount of it. We looked so cute as a boyfriend and girlfriend messing around in the Colonel's office.

Then a General walked in, and Radar was looking really cute just putting his feet on Henry's desk, smoking his cigars and drinking his brandy, pretending to be him. The box was in his lap but some of them fell out because there were cigars all over him. I thought it was cute, obviously because he's my boyfriend. Well the General doesn't think it's so cute. This was fit for a laugh! This guy had absolutely 0% of a sense of humor. He was an old and grumpy man.

Henry was to come back in a few minutes so we put his cigars and alcohol in the exact spot where they were left and we pretended like we were working when he arrived. It turns out we were done with work. That night was busy. I had to take a shower, go see my cousin, (*although we share a tent*) go chat with my friends, and then I had plans to go on a date with Radar at a movie tonight. Wow so busy.

The Next Day....

Radar and I were working. I was handling calls at the switchboard, while he was working on paperwork and reports and stuff like that. I saw someone wanted to come in.

"Radar, will you tell the colonel that someone wants to come in? Thanks love!"

He saw that it was my friend Hawkeye.

The colonel let him in, and Radar and I got up and huddled around him, while Henry got a call.

It was a call from General Clayton. CINCOMPAC (*whatever that is*) said the enemies ordered a cease-fire. That meant that we got to go home. I could move in with Radar in Iowa and we could get married and start a family and all that- whoa that's too far into the future.

Hawkeye was dancing on the table, Radar and I were dancing on the ground and then he held me tight and said that we could move in together and do everything that I wish for. (*stuff from my fantasy sequences that he doesn't know about*)

Trapper came in and we all celebrated. My cousin was getting drunk with her boyfriend so God knows where I'm sleeping tonight. I had my own house, but after we got back to the States, I could sell it and meet Radar in Iowa. That was my cease-fire plan.

Hawkeye and Trapper were experiencing burnout from the OR so I could tell why they were acting like party animals. Well everyone was so it didn't matter.

That was the best day. Radar and I went everywhere and spent the whole day together. We had to work a little bit longer, but when Henry decided to stop working, we got the rest of the day off.

There was a party that night. Radar and I got front row seats. Of course we got up to show pictures of General Clayton. Apparently, Hawkeye went overboard with the camera and took more pictures than he needed to. The whole tent was laughing except Frank, my cousin, and General Clayton.

Why was it so funny, so much so that I couldn't breathe? Most of the pictures were of General Clayton with my cousin on dates basically kissing, hugging and holding on to each other. Kind of like me and Radar, but these were taken before I even stepped foot on the 4077th. I almost died laughing. We sat back down, we sang and literally made out for most of it. We were too busy making out when General Clayton got a message, we paid attention. There was no cease-fire, we all had to work, and my cousin was drunk so tonight I slept in Radar's tent.
