Dick took his time walking home; he didn't want to let the event that had just taken place a few minutes ago to escape his mind yet. While letting his thoughts of Evelyn consume him, Dick realized that he needed to get the idiotic smile off his face to keep the boys from pestering him. He could just hear it now. Guarnere would probably be telling Dick how he thought it was impossible for him to get a girl because he was a "Quaker" who didn't drink. He wouldn't have to worry about Nix until he was piss drunk with his Vat69. He tried thinking of that moron Sobel, but to no avail, even thinking of the hatred he had for his commanding officer could not keep the smile off his face. He entered the house only to be greeted by Nixon and Buck. "Well, well, it looks like our red headed Eskimo had a good time," Nix pointed out. Dick only grunted in response, worried that if he said anything, the smile he was trying so hard to conceal would only erupt and cause a massive disaster.

"Who would have thought? Dick "turns red when a girl even talks to him" Winters has taken a liking to Easy's feisty little nurse," Buck then proceeded to nudge Dick with his elbow.

"Compton, you had better be glad that I'm in such a good mood. I could have just gone Sobel on your ass and made you run around Aldbourne screaming "Hi-ho Silver" all night long for that comment," Dick said as he walked towards his room.

"Nix, I don't think I've appreciated Evelyn as much as I do now," Buck sighed.


Evelyn entered her room and was bombarded by the girl and all of their questions.

"You and Lieutenant Winters?! I can't believe it!" Jennifer practically screamed, "Aww, the lieutenant and the lieutenant, you two make a cute pair."

"Not to mention that you two were looking a little cozy at the park," Christine said with a wink. Evelyn only laughed at the girls' reactions. It was like they were back in high school. "Are you going to tell us what happened, Ev?"

"I don't know ladies, I don't like to kiss and tell," Evelyn said with a smirk. The girls' eyes widened.

"WHAT?!" All of the girls screamed, nearly waking up the entire hospital. Evelyn hushed them. After an hour of the girls' persistent nagging, Evelyn finally gave in.

"Fine, fine, I'll tell you what happened," Evelyn started, which silenced the entire room. She relayed the days events, from their time to the park, to Nix and Buck's bad timing, to Dick asking her to the dance. The girls smiled at Evelyn, happy that she was able to find happiness in a time of war.

"I know you're leaving out something Ev, you always play with your necklace when you don't tell me everything," Allie said, eager to know what Evelyn was leaving out. Evelyn sighed in defeat.

"…and then I kissed him."


"So, Lieutenant, I hear you've got some interest in our nurse," Eugene Roe said to Dick, smirking at him. Dick looked up from his typewriter, shooting the medic a look.

"Damnit, is Buck telling everyone? I should have sent him running, but then again, he probably would have told everyone that he passed by," Dick sighed, shaking his head. He could hear voices downstairs, and could distinctly here one of the men talking.

"Buck, you're telling me the Quaker has a girlfriend?! THE QUAKER?! Jesus Christ, I think the world is ending."

"Doesn't Guarnere know how loud his voice is?" Dick thought to himself. He was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of Lew's voice.

"C'mon Doc, give Dick a break. I'm sure he nearly had a heart attack just asking her out, he doesn't need a hard time," Nix joked. Dick threw a piece of paper at the back of Nix's head. "Hey!" Nix yelled, rubbing the back of his head.

"I'm just saying, Dick's got good taste. Miss Evelyn is quite the catch," the medic defended.

"Doc, do I need to tell Christine what you just said?" Dick smirked, trying to take the attention off of him.

"No sir! I was just saying, I'm glad that you found someone like Evelyn for you. If anyone deserves it, it's you," Eugene said, walking out of the room; leaving a smiling Dick who continued to type on his typewriter and an annoyed Nixon, rummaging through Dick's footlocker in search of his Vat69.


"Hey Jen, did Buck ask you to the dance yet?" Evelyn asked, curious to see if Buck did go through with it.

"Yeah…hey, how did you know about that?!" Jennifer said, getting the other two girls' attention.

"Um, a woman's intuition?" Evelyn shrugged, "actually, I figured out that Buck liked you the other day, so I could only imagine that he would ask you." Before Jennifer could say anything, Christine interrupted.

"Well ladies, it looks like we all have dates!"

"Oh?" Evelyn said skeptically, wondering who Allie was going with.

"Mmhhmm, let's see… you and Dick, Jennifer and Buck, me and Gene, and Allie and Nix!" Christine listed off.

"Allie and Lew?!" Evelyn said astounded.

"Yeah, he and I were talking about it earlier today. Everyone else had dates already so we decided to go together, you know, as friends." Allie said, a light blush creeping over her cheeks. The girls talked for the rest of the night, eagerly awaiting for Saturday to arrive.
