'So, who can I play?' Dani asked Alex.
'Not Hawkeye, not BJ, not Radar, not Klinger, not the new Colonel, none of the nurses, except Major Houlihan, but anyone else is ok,' Alex said. They were in the mess tent, getting lunch.
'What is this stuff?' Dani asked.
'The green mush are peas, that's potatoes, these are hamburgers, I think, and that's the gravy over there,' Klinger said from behind the bench.
'Yuk,' Dani said, sticking her tongue out in disgust.
'Give us both a bit of everything, Klinger,' Alex said.
'But look at it! If we were home, we wouldn't even feed that to the dog!' Dani said.
'Trust me, you need your energy here. Best to eat as much as possible,' Klinger said, spooning something onto her tray. Alex led Dani away, to an empty table, and began eating.
'Mom was right, they don't feed you right in the army,' Dani said unhappily, poking her food.
'Eat,' Alex ordered, pointing at her tray with the fork. 'Trust me, if Hawkeye finds you're not eating, he'll make you eat.'
'What will he do, force feed me?' Dani said sarcastically.
'You'd be surprised,' Alex muttered as they both began to eating. Klinger finished his kitchen duty, and went to join them. Dani looked at him warily, but Klinger ignored her.
'So what was it like being home again?' he asked Alex. 'Why did you come back?'
'It's great being home again, but I don't look at anything in the same way, because of Isaac. She's the reason I joined up again,' Alex said, nodding towards Dani.
'What did I do now?' she asked.
'You had to sign up for the Korean war after reading my letters, and I didn't want you to get killed, so I joined to keep you out of trouble,' Alex explained.
'You didn't have to come,' Dani said, staring into her tray, as if she thought staring hard enough would make it change into something edible. Alex shook her head.
'So, tried much on the new Colonel?' Alex asked Klinger.
'Yeah, but he's seen it all. Didn't even fall for gold dress,' Klinger said mournfully.
'You'll get that section eight, don't worry,' Alex comforted.
'Alex,' Dani poked her in the arm. 'The kid handing out the food, is he single?' Alex sighed.
'Find out for yourself,' Alex snapped. Hawkeye and BJ came over. Dani fluttered her eyes at both of them, but she was ignored.
'Hawkeye, BJ, you sort of know Danielle, or Dani. Dani, this is Hawkeye, and BJ,' Alex said.
'Hi,' Dani said, staring meaningfully into BJ's eyes.
'He's married, don't even think about it,' Alex said. Dani pouted and looked around.
'Is there anyone around here worth getting to know?' she asked.
'Everyone is worth getting to know!' Alex snapped.
'No there isn't. They're all weirdo's, or taken,' Dani said moodily. Alex groaned and looked like she wanted to strangle Dani. Radar joined them, a mountain of food on his tray.
'You can't eat all of that,' Dani said, looking at Radar.
'I bet you ten bucks he can,' Hawkeye said.
'You're on,' Dani said, shaking Hawkeye's hand. Radar lifted his fork, but stopped.
'Oh no,' Alex said. 'He can hear them, can't he?'
'Oh yes,' Radar said. He dropped his fork and began yelling. 'Choppers! Everyone! Choppers!'
'I can't hear anything,' Dani complained as everyone got up.
'Trust me, if Radar says there are choppers on their way, there are choppers on their way, usually with wounded,' Alex said, standing up quickly. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of helicopters in the distance.
'Not Hawkeye, not BJ, not Radar, not Klinger, not the new Colonel, none of the nurses, except Major Houlihan, but anyone else is ok,' Alex said. They were in the mess tent, getting lunch.
