The Fair's Familiar Face
Charles came back to meet with BJ, Radar, Peg and Erin "Remember when I said I could spend some time with you gentlemen after the last concert? Well I am sorry to say that that won't be possible because the concert masters who plan our concerts have us playing tomorrow night in another city."
"Charles I was really looking forward to seeing you some more, but please promise me that you will keep in touch." BJ said as tears started to roll down his face.
"Don't you worry I will." Replied Charles. He slowly turned, waived and quietly left the scene, then joined the rest of the Orchestra. They loaded onto a private plane that had "LSN symphony orchestra" painted on the side and the jets fired up, the wheels began to roll and soon the entire plane was engulfed in clouds, Charles was gone. "Who knows if I will ever see you again, Bye Charles." BJ whispered quietly to himself.
"DAD, DAD, since Radar loves animals so much can we take him to the other place that you said we could go after the Zoo?"
"Huh...what place are you babbling about?" He said startled, once again Erin had caught him deep in thought.
"You know the place that we passed on the way."
"You mean the Fair, sure I guess we really have nothing better to do." Everyone piled in the car including Radar, who sat in the back with Erin she talked the whole way to the Fair. Before they knew it they were there, and BJ was paying their way in. They parked the car and went in. Walking along the dirt path looking in amazement at all there was to do. "Well Erin what would you like to do first?"
"I...I...I think I would like to go over there and ride the Farris Wheel." She said as she pointed across the fair ground. The four of them walked over. "Ten dollars worth of tickets please."
"Here you go sir, and have a good time at the Iowa State Fair."
"Thank you." He then turned down to his daughter handing them to her. Just as he thought she took off toward the Farris wheel pulling him by the hand behind her, he stumbled a few steps and then caught up with her as they reached the Farris wheel. Erin recklessly grabbed the tickets from her pocket where they had been stored and gave them to the operator before he could ask. BJ just smiled and stepped up onto the lift then sat down next to Erin. They started on their way up while Peg and Radar watched from a distance. "Peg, I will be right back, I got to go the restroom" Said Radar.
"Ok, we will be right here waiting for you." So with that Radar started to walk in the opposite direction, his feet wondering across the fair's beaten path. As he was soon out of sight Erin pulled her dad to yet another ride and another until they had been on every one. Radar had reached the restroom and was on his way out when his chest slammed into someone else's. The two fell backwards to the ground as if they had magnets in them repelling one another. Radar had a face filled to the brim with pain but quickly pulled himself up and brushed off his clothes, then realizing what had happened he extended his hand down to the stranger. The stranger grasped Radar's it and while pulling himself up he swept his dark pigmented hair out of his face with the other, revealing his face to Radar.
"Hi, My name is Walter, I can't put across how sorry I am."
"It is really no big deal. Let me guess they call you Radar."
"How did you kno..." Just then Radar was finally able to see all of the stranger's face and nearly fainted. It was Hawkeye. The two of them started to talk. "Hawk, how you been?"
"I am doing just fine."
"BJ, Peg, and Erin are over at the Farris wheel, come say Hi."
"No, I have got a better idea, You know me, there is never such thing as too many jokes. So here is the plan, sometime today bring the others to one of my comedy shows here at the Fair and I will do the rest." As for then the two said their farewells and went their separate ways. Radar walked back up the beaten path to were he had left Peg. However what Radar did not know was that Hawkeye yet has another surprise up his sleeve. Well anyway Radar came walking up within the sight of the others who were happy to see him and joining back as one they all continued were they had left off. "What next Erin?" Radar bent down to her and whispered a suggestion of going to the comedy show into her ear. But Erin refused, finally Erin answered her father buy suggesting that they go see what was in the blue and yellow tent that was just a little further on up the road. Upon their arrival they all split up and started to look around at all that there was to buy. BJ was scanning the tables when he noticed this woman who walked into his line of vision, he stopped and was studying her quite close. He saw that she was someone who looked powerful, smart, caring, and she had somewhat long blond hair. This woman had red lipstick and she looked like she was looking for something. Finally she stopped and asked one of the venders if they had seen her husband and she began to describe him. Just at that time BJ noticed that there was a little kid hanging onto her hand and he was cute as a button. Beej turned away almost half dazed and joined the others as they left the tent. Radar had succeeded in getting them to go see Hawkeye's show. As they entered they were relieved because it was a very hot summer day and the sun had the temp up on the high side of the thermometer and this was the only building on the fair grounds that was cool inside. Just then the act started and the comedian came out with a mask covering his face as part of the show and about half way through he started to crack jokes about short people "You know some people are so short that you have to ask them to go get some height before you can make fun of it watch." He then inched his way down into the crowd and looked around until he saw Radar and grabbed him by the hand pulled him back onto the stage. "You are so short..."
"DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY HEIGHT!" Radar interrupted.
"Go get some and I will make fun of it." The audience cracked up and Radar pulled away and went back to his seat. That is when the comedian slowly grabbed the bottom of the mask with his hand and started to lift it off, you can bet that he had caught BJ's attention. When the mask was finally fully off, BJ could not believe it was that really who he thought is was, of course it was Hawkeye. BJ did not waste anytime in telling his old buddy hi, he slowly stood up and then step by step walked up onto the stage they both stood there staring at one another and eventually hugged each other.
