Author's Note:
Narrator: If spoken words are in between these lines /, it means that they
are speaking in Korean! I just kind of been toying with idea and said
"What the Hey!", so don't be too hard on it. It isn't perfect after all.
Deep: We all pitched in.
Polishingrag: Technicalities.
Happy: OH! This story gets so good!
Polishingrag: Shut up before you give it away!
Happy: Fine.
Chapter 1
Bandana in her hair, pants and selves rolled up, laundry washed and ready, she looked at her little sidekick. "/Want to play a game while we wait?/" The smaller girl seemed to be in deep thought, before deciding.
"/Only if I get to deal./"
"/Nine years old, playing old maid. What will the sisters think of me?/" the older girl smartly remarked. She gave her friend a wink. "Of course." The smaller girl stared at her blankly, trying to decipher what her friend said, since she only spoke a few words of English. "Sorry Kim. /You may deal./" Smiling Kim started to respond but was cut off by a sharp blast. "Down!" Kim was quickly covered by her older friend. She started to sing a song that Kim didn't understand but was clamed all the same. Kim knew it was from something called the Wizard of Oz. After several shots, Kim felt something warm and liquid near her leg, but she did not have time to process what it could be. She was being shooed into a bush. "/Kim, stay here. If I'm not back soon, go get help./"
"/Traci, I'm scared./" she didn't here what Kim said, at least that is what Kim thought.

I like walking along the river, it really clears your head. I guess that is how I escape the war. Klinger has his section 8, Hawkeye has the still, Major Burns has Major Houlihan, and I have my walks. I was just strolling along, thinking to my self when I 'heard' it. "Kim, stay here. If I'm not back soon, go get help." Later I heard a gun shot followed by a yell. A few more shots then I heard the start of it. "Kim" the rest of it was in Korean, but it was thought in English, at least, part of it was. That is when I saw the solider. He was obviously aiming at something, so I assumed that whatever it was, it was the one who spoke earlier.
"What are you doing in Korea?" The solider demanded. I crept closer to the angry solider not sure what he was up to.
"What do you mean? I was born and raised here, why would I be somewhere else?" I was close enough to see the girl standing defiantly at the solider, utterly confused yet sure at the same time. She was very fair skinned for a native, and had hair not unlike some of the nurses.
"Don't lie. Why did you desert?"
A closer inspection revealed that the girl had a gunshot wound on her left leg. "Desert what? What are you talking about! Leave me alone you.... You... you... &%$!" I don't speak much Korean but I knew that word should never be repeated and that the sniper knew too.
"You help those commies don't you!" He reached and grabbed her arm "You're under arrest!" She didn't say a word. She just pulled her hand back and bit his arm. "God damnit!" She started to run but didn't make it too far before falling down. I don't like seeing people hurt so I ran after her but it didn't do me much good. "Oh, good, help me arrest her. She's a deserter." I just kind of stood there. I saw something he didn't. She had a knife and was boring holes into my skull starting with my eyes. I don't think it was a good sign. "What are you waiting for! Get her!" I recognized that voice, surprised it hadn't hit me sooner.
"Lt. Colonel Flagg, you're nuts. She's wounded and needs help."
I almost wished I hadn't said that, but then I wouldn't have seen it.
What happened next was that since Lt. Colonel Flagg was busy saying what his name was this week, the girl was aiming her right leg, at his temple. "I'm not Colonel Flagg. I'm-" knocked out.
A little girl, about 8 years old, ran over to the bloody one. "Traci-" that's when they began discussing certain things that I could not discern. The only words I heard or 'heard' was M.A.S.H., 4077, and hospital. Traci glanced over at me, staring me down. Looking at the child next to her who was vigorously nodding her head.
"Who are you?" She had her hand lightly place on her knife incase I messed up the answer.
"I'm Corporal O'Reilly, I work at M.A.S.H. 4077, that's a-"
She was trying to bandage up her leg.. "Hospital. Do you know where the orphanage is?" I'll admit that question threw me off.
"Uh, yeah. Why?"
"I need to drop off Kim at the orphanage she can tell the nuns why I won't be cooking dinner tonight. And help me pick up these clothes before they get dirty again." She stood using the tree to keep her up.
"Um... let me help you, there is a jeep nearby... I can get you there quickly... if you like..." It was true. I don't think Hawkeye and B.J. would mind too much. If they were sober enough to tell that it was gone... "Here lean on my right side..." She muttered something to who I assume is Kim. Kim grabbed hold of her right hand. "Careful."
"We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz." I wouldn't have caught it myself if I wasn't thinking the same thing. Well, almost.
"We got to go quickly, I'll get to the hospital first..." I felt like I was dragging something. "Before you faint." I tried picking her up and at lest getting to jeep near Rosie's so I could get Hawkeye and B.J. to do... something.
