Here is another M*A*S*H fan fiction. Never enough M*A*S*H!!! Anyway, M*A*S*H isn't mine (god I wish it was!) but I love it and thus write about it.
I hope you like this one. It's still in progress, unlike "Glad It Was You", which was all done, so it may not get posted as quickly. I am working busily on it though. Please Read and Review!! :-)
The sun was shining, it was a balmy fifty-one degrees, and Radar O'Reilly had a few hours to himself. He spent some time in his "zoo", and then decided it was a lovely day for a walk around the compound.
He strolled for about ten minutes, going a bit outside camp, before he spotted something red and black up head. He kept walking towards it, and as he watched it, it moved.
He realized it was a cat. It lay on it's side in the melting snow, with red staining the snow under its rear end.
"Oh," he murmured, going to it. It raised its head and hissed feebly at him, and he talked back to it, "Something must have had a hold of you."
He offered his hand for it to sniff, then petted its head with one finger. It laid its mottled head down and sighed weakly.
Its back leg was mangled, part of the foot missing, and large gashed adorned its back half. A generous chunk of fur was missing from its tail.
"I'll take you back to Captain Pierce," he told the little tortoiseshell. He took his coat off and carefully lifted her onto it, then picked it up to form a sling, which he held against his chest as he started back to camp. The cat made a sound of pain when he picked her up but after that she just lay there, listening to his voice as he told her all about Captain Pierce. "Hawkeye's a real good doctor. He helped the Colonel's horse, and he even operated on one of my rabbits. The only animal he wouldn't touch was my mouse. I'd appreciate it if you didn't touch Daisy either…"
Radar found Hawkeye as he and his best friend BJ Hunnicutt were coming out of the mess tent.
"You gotta come, sir, she's hurt really bad. Part of her foot's missing!"
"Who?" Hawkeye asked, peering into Radar's coat. He was met with a hiss much like the one Radar got. He jerked back and looked at Radar.
"I found her, and she's in pain. Come on, please?"
Hawkeye looked at BJ and sighed. Time for another episode of 'Hawkeye Pierce, DVM'. Truth be told, he didn't really mind though, since it was for Radar and he didn't like to leave anything in pain either.
"Come on," he gestured him into Pre-Op. "Would you care to assist?" He asked BJ.
"Of course."
