After being there 2 weeks, Jeannie was giving no indications of leaving. She actually was getting to be quite helpful. She gave a helping hand with wounded and even helped Radar in the office when he needed it. Colonel Potter was quite impressed and was quite happy that Radar had somebody helping him out. Funny part about it, Jeannie and Klinger was now getting along. Jeannie would blink up several dresses and purses for him, which made him very happy. Jeannie was given a cot in Major Houlihan's tent, and Radar scrounged around and got her a footlocker.

Colonel Potter has been thinking for the last week now, and decided that Jeannie should be made a Permanent resident of the 4077th. He has called a meeting with just her in his office.

Radar enters Colonel Potter's office. "Sir, Jeannie is here to see you." He says.

"Good, send her in Radar." Colonel Potter replies.

Jeannie enters the office. "Good Morning, Colonel." She says quite cheerfully.

He laughs. "Good Morning, Jeannie. Boy you are cheerful today."

She smiles. "I just think it is a beautiful morning."

Potter puts on his glasses. "I am sure you are wondering why I called you in here, aren't you?" He asks.

She straightens her self up in her chair. "Yes, actually I am."

He leans over on his desk. "Jeannie, I was wondering if you would like to become a permanent resident of the 4077th?"

She stands up in complete shock. "What?? I would love to!"

Potter stands up. "Then it is settled. Jeannie, welcome to the 4077th, permanently."

She shakes his hand. "Thank you sir!!"

Jeannie runs out to Radar's office where Hawkeye, BJ, Stacy, Klinger, and Margaret are standing.

"Guess what! I am a permanent member of the 4077th!" She screams, she was so excited.

Klinger grabs her and hugs her. "That is great! My wardrobe will forever be replenished!"

Stacy laughs. "You better watch it Klinger, with one blink your wardrobe could be nothing but Army fatigues." She jokes.

Klinger puts his hands on his hips. "Very funny, Major." He says.

Hawkeye stood up from Radar's cot and put his arm around Stacy. "I think we should celebrate at the O Club tonight for our newest member."

Everyone was agreed. As soon as Margaret and B.J's duties in Post-Op was done, everybody headed over to the Officer's Club.

After 2 hours of drinking, dancing, and gambling, everybody was pretty well tanked. Jeannie was banging her bottle on the bar, wanting another one. Igor had never seen a woman consume that many beers in 2 hours. She had already had 8 beers, and was working on her 9th one.

Stacy, Hawkeye, and Margaret was all over in a corner arguing about a stupid poker game. Hawkeye had bluffed Stacy out of fifty bucks, and she was not happy about it.

"Hawkeye Pierce, you better watch yourself. I could do something to you, and it may not be pretty." Stacy warns him.

Hawkeye stood up. "Lady, I don't care if you can.....do whatever you do. I happen to be a man."

Margaret stands up too. "Oh Yeah, Pierce. I am standing up for her as a lady too."

Stacy looks at Margaret. "Thank you......." She looks at Hawkeye. "What's her name again?"

"Hot-Lips"

Stacy looks back at Margaret. "Thank you, Hot-Lips."

Margaret was furious now. "That is not my name!"

Meanwhile, Klinger and Jeannie are dancing to a slow song. They looked so cute together. Klinger felt like he was falling for Jeannie, and she had to admit, so did she.

Margaret headed back to her tent, deciding she had enough for one night. Jeannie and Klinger were off somewhere else, and pretty soon it was just Hawkeye and Stacy left in the O Club.

Hawkeye is sitting in a chair, rubbing his eyes. "I am so tired." He says.

Stacy looks at Hawkeye, looking like she could pass out any minute. "So am I, Hawk."

Before Hawkeye could say anything else, she had already passed out. He carried her out of O Club, and didn't think anything of it when he carried her to the "Swamp" and slept next to her in his cot.

The next morning, Stacy woke up and looked around. She was not in her tent, and it startled her when she realized she wasn't alone in the cot. Hawkeye had his arms around her and was snoring a little bit. Stacy got up, and covered Hawkeye up before she kissed him on the forehead and left.

When she got to her tent, Margaret was up brushing her hair. Margaret turned around when she heard Stacy come in.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

Stacy sat down on her bed. "I woke up with Hawkeye, and I don't know how I got there."

Margaret turned around to look at her. "Well, your cousin didn't come home either."

Stacy looks over at Jeannie's empty cot. Just then, Jeannie came walking in, looking very pale, obviously from a hangover.

Stacy looked up at Jeannie. "Where did you sleep last night?"

Jeannie laid down on her cot. "With Klinger." She replied.

Stacy and Margaret looked at each other at her response.

"I thought you two hated each other?" Margaret asked.

Stacy laughed. "Obviously they don't, Margaret." She said.

Margaret laughed at Stacy's remark. Jeannie on the other hand was already passed out again.
