Hello my lovely loves! I'm baaaack! XD Sorry for the very long hiatus. I've been busy with getting started in my acting career. Anyway, just a heads up, my Wreck-It Ralph fanfic is going to get scrapped. Mainly because I'm short on ideas now. But here's a NEW story that is sure to rock your socks! I love the TV show M*A*S*H and I love love LOVE William Christopher's role as Father Mulcahy, the priest at the 4077th! This is chapter one of...several for this story. It's a Father Mulcahy x OC story yay! I'm such a fangirl over this guy! XD So enough of my blabbering, on with the show!

I do not own M*A*S*H or any of its characters. I only own my OC Emily Matthews!


Dear Diary,

I am currently in transit to the MASH 4077th where I will be stationed as a nurse. I am really nervous...I've never been this nervous in my life! Oh, I sure hope I won't make a fool of myself. I want everybody to like me. I hope everything works out well. Once I reach my destination, I'll be sure to send Mom and Dad a letter later that night. I'll be sure to tell them how my first day went. With my rosary necklace along with my faith, what could possibly go wrong?

Emily's POV:

I stepped out of the jeep with my legs feelings like jelly. Good thing I didn't fall flat on my face in front of the Colonel who stood before me. I saluted him instantly to make a good impression. "At ease, Miss Matthews." The Colonel said smiling lightly. He shook my hand and introduced himself. "My name is Sherman Potter, the head honcho of the 4077th." He greeted politely. Suddenly, I didn't feel so nervous anymore. The Colonel seemed very nice. I smiled. "You can just call me Emily." I said to him. Colonel Potter nodded and smiled. "Alrighty Lieutenant Emily." "Come with me and I'll show you around." I followed the Colonel over to what appeared to be the cafeteria tent. "This is the Mess Tent, where you shall be served three meals a day." Said Colonel Potter. "The coffee isn't great and neither is the chow so you just have to deal with it." I giggled a bit. "I'm sure I'll be able to do so, Sir." I replied. "Where is everybody?" I asked curiously. Potter looked at his wrist watch. "Well, we've received casualties about twenty minutes before you arrived here, so I'd say that my staff is still in O.R." He explained to me. I nodded again. "Once they're all out, I'll have you meet them, possibly by dinner time around 6pm?" He asked me. "Yes, Sir, sounds perfect." I replied smiling. Colonel Potter clapped me on the back lightly. "Good, good, now I'll show you to your tent so you may unpack your things." He said pointed to my suitcase. "You don't mind sleeping in the V.I.P Tent, do you?" He asked. I shook my head. "Not at all, Sir." I replied. Colonel Potter nodded and showed me where my tent was located. "I'll just leave you to get settled in." He said before walking away. I quickly unpacked my things and put them on the nearby shelves like my literature and diary. My Bible went by the nightstand next to the lamp just like back home. My clothes were still neatly tucked away in my suitcase. I figured I'd change later. I put my hairbrush and shower things in the drawer below the nightstand. Then, I decided to take a little nap for about an hour or so.

I woke up at the sound of others chattering at around 4pm. Good thing I wasn't such a heavy sleeper, but I did get the rest I needed. I got up from my cot and brushed my hair, some of the strands getting tangled in my rosary necklace...which hurt. Once I smoothed out the slight wrinkles in my outfit, I made my way to the Mess Tent to grab some coffee.
