Casidy put down her pen on the desk and folded the letter. She slid it into the envelope and sealed it. She sat it down on her desk and went back to her bunk, where she sat, her back against the two pillows she had managed to get.

Majorie came into their tent and smiled. "How was your date with Trapper?" Majorie asked the other woman. She knew that it was a first for Casidy. She had been in the military with Casidy since they both enlisted and went through training together. Not that she would have really called that training. In all the time that they had been enlisted together, she had not seen the other woman date. She had never understood why. She knew that Casidy wasn't hindered by being shy as she was. She was quite as home talking to a complete stranger as she was talking to her brother.

"It was nice. Not really a date so much, we went to the village to check on that mother we delivered's baby. The baby and mama are doing good," Casidy said. "On the way back we watched the sunset up at the heli-pad..."

Majorie laughed softly. "That sounds romantic."

Casidy could hear the sarcasm in her tent mate's voice. She ignored it. "It was quite romantic. He put his arm around me and we watched it in silence. It was almost like we were home, except I would have never met him if it wasn't for the war..." She stared up at the tent roof, not letting her room mate ruin her good mood.

"Well that's one way of looking at it. I'm kinda lost here. I know we've been here four months already, but I don't know too many people well enough to spend time with them like that. I mean I know you and some of the other nurses, but you're busy with Trapper most of the time, and the others are busy with the other doctors or each other," Majorie admitted. She had said it before she even realized it was out of her mouth. She hated to tell her friend that she was lonely, but it was the truth.

"How about you come with us to movie night tomorrow... we'll bring someone for you to be alone with. He's gotten kinda lonely lately since Trap and I have been so wrapped up in each other..."

"I hate the idea of a blind date... who are you planning on bringing. No offense Cas, but if its your brother, I'm not interested in the least. He's sweet and nice, but not date able. He's your little brother after all."

Casidy laughed. It had never occurred to her that she might set her brother up with a nurse. She made a note to ask if he was interested in anyone on the nursing staff. She rolled over on her side, and supported her head with the palm of her hand. "No... not Radar. I hadn't actually thought of him maybe wanting to date one of us nurses, but that's not who I was thinking of... How about Hawkeye? He's funny, smart, and not too bad on the eyes." She watched her friend's face.

Majorie thought for a moment. Hawkeye wasn't that bad of a guy. He was kinda rough around the edges, and not very military at all, but he wasn't all together un-date able. He was good looking. She had to admit that even to herself. She had been assigned to his table several times, but usually worked with Henry. "I don't think that I'd object that much at blind dating him. Or sighted dating him either." She laughed at her own joke. She looked over at her tent mate and shrugged. "Why the hell not? It can't be worse than that guy I went on the date with in Seoul." She cringed before continuing. "He was a nightmare. Now he's someone that could get a section 8 without even trying. Klinger should take lessons from him."

Casidy had to laugh. She remembered the guy that Majorie was talking about quite well. He was loony. She had been scared that guy would had tried to follow them here to the MASH unit. "I second that. Klinger would get out in a heart beat if he was like that guy. To think he tried to give you a little Korean boy for a present. Didn't he realize that slavery was abolished about two hundred years ago."

Casidy paused for a moment before continuing. She was glad that her friend was agreeing to see Hawkeye. That way both of them would have someone to hang out with. She and Majorie had been inseparable, until Maj had started dating. Then Casidy had been the one that was left all alone in the tent while her friend was out. "So... tomorrow, you, me, Hawkeye and Trapper? Dinner and a movie? I think Radar said they're playing the Thing that Ate New York. That shouldn't be all together boring."

Majorie laid back on her cot. "Sure, sounds good to me. I'm being moved to your rotation soon... I told Henry that it sucks that we live in the same tent and never see each other. He said that he'd have Radar change that on the schedule for me."

Casidy couldn't help but be a little happy and a little sad at the same time. She was glad because now she would have Post-Op and OR duty with Majorie more often, but then again, it would mean that their tent wouldn't be empty very often.
