Alex got back from Tokyo, a little tired, but feeling a lot better than
when she left. All of her angry on Andy had been let out, and she'd had a
great three days of relaxing in at a bath house. She was a little
disappointed that no-one showed up to welcome her back, though. Suddenly,
Hawkeye and Trapper appeared. They were wearing their Hawaiian shirts, and
very large grins.
'Hi, guys,' Alex said, getting down from the jeep. Trapper grabbed her bag before the driver took the jeep back to were it belonged, and the three began walking towards the nurse's tent.
'How was Tokyo?' Hawkeye asked.
'Fantastic,' Alex replied. 'It's weird, but I'm actually glad to be back home.'
'You think this dump is home?' Trapper asked.
'Home is where the heart is,' Alex explained.
'True,' Hawkeye said.
When they went past the nurse's tent without stopping, Alex asked 'Where are we going?'
'You'll see,' Hawkeye told her mysteriously. Trapper went up behind Alex and put a colourful silk scarf around her head, so she couldn't see.
'Come on guys, not funny,' Alex laughed. She continued when she felt Hawkeye and Trapper move away from her. 'I know this camp just as well as you do!' she yelled after them. She went to take the scarf from her head, but Trapper yelled out.
'No, don't take it off! You have to find us!' he yelled. Alex shook her head, still laughing.
'This is stupid,' she replied, but she followed them anyway. The led her around the Swamp, past Henry's tent a few times, and through the surgery room. She followed them into the officer's club, and Hawkeye stopped her as she entered the building.
'You can take the scarf off now,' he said into her ear. Alex pulled it up over her head, and gasped. The officers club had been done up with toilet paper and streamers. It seemed Radar had also dug up some balloons.
'Oh, wow,' Alex said, still shocked. All of the nurses and enlisted men from the 4077 MASH were there, watching her with wide smiles and laughter. Someone put a record on, and everyone started dancing. Alex noticed Frank was looking tipsy, he was halfway through a bottle of something. Klinger came up to Alex, dressed in a green dress, and offered his arm for them to dance. Laughing at Klinger's new outfit, Alex accepted and they took to the dance floor. After Klinger, Alex danced with Henry, Radar, Trapper, Hawkeye and even Frank, who was off his head. During the tenth song, she danced with Klinger again. The scarf was in her pocket, and she remembered having it.
'I'm guessing this is yours,' she said, taking her hand from Klinger's to retrieve it.
'No, it's for you. I ordered it in a few weeks ago, but thought it'd suit you better,' Klinger told her. Alex blushed and thanked him. She knew it was his own way of thanking her for saving his life. Hawkeye came up to the pair and tapped Klinger on the shoulder.
'Mind if I cut in?' he asked.
'Be my guest,' Klinger replied, moving surprisingly graciously from them for someone in high heels. Hawkeye took Klinger's place as Alex wrapped the scarf around her neck.
'Having fun?' Hawkeye asked.
'Danced off my feet,' Alex replied grinning. 'Never danced for so long. But I'll do this last dance with you.' The music slowed down and Alex laughed. 'Of all the luck, I get a slow, close dance,' she said.
'Yeah, of all the rotten luck,' Hawkeye said, pulling her a little closer.
'You fixed it so it's be like this, didn't you?' Alex accused.
'Maybe,' Hawkeye shrugged. Alex laughed, but danced with him anyway.
'Any special reason you wanted to dance with me?' Alex asked.
'No special reason, except I love you,' Hawkeye replied. Alex smiled, and leant her head on Hawkeye's shoulder.
'Hi, guys,' Alex said, getting down from the jeep. Trapper grabbed her bag before the driver took the jeep back to were it belonged, and the three began walking towards the nurse's tent.
