It was about ten 'o' clock when blue team had finished up their spaghetti dinner. The boys were outside on the look out for nothing in particular. They were mostly shooting at rocks and chatting. Tex and Esther were in their room getting ready for bed. Esther sat with her legs crossed on her bed and pulled her cropped curls into a pony tail. She wore a purple tank with the red-cross medic symbol on it, paired with grey and white plaid pants. She sighed and layed over the covers of her top bunk with her eyes open. The part she probably hated most about being stationed at a new place was getting used to it. The last base she was stationed at was bigger, and had ten times as many residents. Blood Gulch felt so desolate and lonely, and it made her a bit sad.
Tex walked in wearing her green tank and black shorts and her long red hair back in a ponytail. "Hey there Esther." Esther sat up and sighed. "Hey, Tex."she said in a monotone. "What's wrong?" Tex asked from the bottom bunk. Esther shrugged and pulled the covers over herself as she laid down. "Ah, it's nothing. Just a little tired is all. Long day." "Hm." Tex got up and turned out the light and shut the curtains. She went back to bed. "Well, night Esther." Esther turned to her side. "Night Tex."
Church was shooting rocks with a sniper rifle while Tucker watched. Caboose was sitting on the ground, doing nothing in particular, and Doc was leaning against the building which was their base. Doc spoke up. "So… What do you guys think of Esther?" Tucker turned around to face him. "Man is she fine! Hey Doc, aren't the medics supposed to give us physicals?" Church chimed in. "I have to admit, she's hot." Doc blushed under his visor. "Why do you ask?" Church faced him and set the rifle down. Doc fumbled. "Uhh, well I don't know, I-" Church cut him off. "You like her?" "Um…" he swallowed. "Dude," Tucker said. "I thought you were gay." Doc flushed redder with anger, but couldn't think of a comeback.
Church and Tucker exchanged glances. It was silent for a moment, till they broke out in laughter. "You-you-" Church said inbetween fits of laughter. Doc stayed where he was, angry as hell under his visor. They finally cooled down. Tucker was first to speak. "If anyone's going to get her, it's me." Church snorted. "Right, because every girl we've come across has fallen for you."
"Whaddaya mean?"Tucker said. "Sister was all over me." Church snorted again. "Yeah, till she was shot and Grif had her shipped back home." "Ah, screw you Church. I don't see you getting any action out of Tex." That was it. Church scowled and turned around to shoot more rocks. Tucker smirked with defeat, and turned back to Doc, but he was gone. When Tucker turned to Caboose he saw that he'd fallen asleep where he was leaning against base. He nudged him with his rifle. "Sheila!" Caboose woke with a start. "Oh, hello, Private Tucker." Tucker sighed and walked back inside base.
