DISCLAIMER
I do not own the TV- series M*A*S*H, nor do I own the MASH base 4077 which is probably located somewhere in Korea. As well as not owning that, I do not own BJ, Potter, Klinger or Hawkeye (unfortunately), nor do I own any thing else seen in this series.
However, I do own my story, and Jack, and Quinn, and Toni, as well as Yvette.
Although the ownership of Quinn could be debated, seeing how I've actully mixed Star Trek into this. Quinn, for reference, is the Q that committed suicide on Voyager. So technically I don't own Quinn any more than I own MASH. Dammit.
Oh, I also don't own the Metallica song Nothing Else Matters, which is the best song in the world, and could most likely feature a number of times in this story.
I do not plan on making money on this, so you can't sue me!
In total the story, without the Disclaimer is 21085 words long, so get ready for a very bumpy ride.
WARNING
Word of warning to MASH fans, I know I portrayed Klinger really badly, it's just that in all my time of watching MASH I don't think I've ever seen him angry, so I thought it was about time he unleashed a little of all that anger he must have bottled up inside.
Also it's a little dark. Somewhat graphic torture scenes., and one or two references to rape.
It also has a very different ending from the actual TV series, which makes it an AU. Yay!

She was new to the school.
That was why she didn't fit in. At least, that was the reason she told herself, and the reason the teachers said they believed.
But she knew it wasn't true.
They just didn't like her. She was different. It wasn't something you could see, it was something more, something deeper, something no one could put a finger on, and that was what mattered.
She lived her life, and they went on with theirs. Sure, a futile attempt was made for her to fit in when she first arrived, but that went straight downhill after the first day or so.
It wasn't that she was ugly, or stupid, quite the opposite, in fact.
There was just something about her that made others uneasy.
She was so damned sure of herself. Of course she was wrong often, she was human after all, but she had always had a firm opinion in everything, and she was 100% sure she was right.
And they stayed away from her. And she was happy that way.
Not that you'd think so looking at her. Her eyes were dark, and she always wore thick eyeliner.
She had a small half smile that looked sarcastic, like she knew something vital you didn't know, that she permanently wore, and when she saw you watching her one lip would curl, as if she were attempting to fully smile for the first time.
But no one ever looked at her long enough to see her fully smile.

"Toni."
She turned slowly. "Can I help you?" She asked quietly.
"The assignment you did. It was good."
He seemed to be waiting for a response, so she said neutrally, "thank you."
"Strange topic though."
She looked at him. "Youth suicide? I thought it was quite relevant to the topic of community issues."
"I expected something about the amount of litter in the town."
"I have never liked doing the expected. Beside, I wanted to do well. Youth suicide is such a broad topic, I thought if I did it well enough the assignment should work out well."
"Well it did turn out well. You brought up some very unique views."
Toni inwardly cringed at the term 'unique'. She had heard that before, and not quite in the same context.
"When are you handing them back?" She asked, attempting to end the conversation that had taken an unwanted turn.
As if sensing her discomfort, David leaned against the wall casually. "I haven't completed marking them all yet."
"I see."
David smiled. "I'll talk to you later."
"Of course."

She heard the sounds of waves crashing, and wished she could be there, free, away from all of life's hassles.
A song rang through her head as she sat on the beach watching the waves form, and then collapse.
So close, no matter how far
Story of my life so far.
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
life is our we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
everyday full of something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
This was currently one of her favourite songs, and it seemed to sum up her entire life, though she didn't know how.
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
never opened myself this way
life is our we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Maybe it was about the rest of the world. They were so wrapped up in what they knew - or thought the knew - that to her their life seemed almost trivial.
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
no, nothing else matters
The song in her head ended, and she fell asleep on the beach.

"Toni. Toni! Wake up!"
She slowly opened her eyes. "Yvette?"
"Yes, it's me. You fell asleep here again."
Toni groaned. "What's the time?" She asked.
"It's one thirty in the morning."
"You shouldn't have come for me. You know I'll be alright."
Yvette shook her head. "No way." She held out her hand. "Come on. Lets go."
Toni took the hand and the wandered on the beach. It took her a few minutes to realize they were going the wrong way.
"Sis." She muttered. "We're going the wrong way."
"I know. I just thought you need a walk to clear your head."
Toni smiled, now almost fully awake. "Thanks."
Yvette nodded. "Not a problem."
"How was uni today? Or should I say yesterday?"
"Fine. Just one more week to go."
---
In time she drifted further away from her parents, and moved in with her older sister at the end of year ten so she could focus on her V*C*E studies.
At the end of her high school education she considered going to a university to study medicine, and certainly had a high enough end of year score for it, but decided instead to join the army services.

When she was twenty one she was sent to Korea, to serve as a paper-shuffler for MASH4077. Toni White was not happy.
