Hey, sorry for not getting this in sooner, but when homework calls...
Well, I hope you like this so far. Wow, come to think of it, I have never really written a normal wow-this-could-really-be-an-episode-story, I always have to put some strange twist on them. Wait till you see what happens in this chapter.
Oh, and also, yes, I do know that the MASH characters never really existed, in case this chapter leads you to think otherwise.
Wait, one more thing. There is like, no humor in this chapter because it is one of those serious chapters. Sorry.
They stared at her intently, awaiting an answer.
"My family and I were on a camping trip, and I was off hiking. As I went up this trail, I tripped on a root, and slammed into a large tree. I fell to the ground, kind of dazed. Once all my senses came back, I realized that I wasn't where I was just a few seconds ago. It was much warmer, and the plants didn't look the same. Well anyways, I panicked and started running in circles until I came across another path. Of course I followed it, and I was brought into some kinda clearing. I, being stupid enough to walk into a clearing in a strange place, managed to get myself shot by what I guess were snipers. I just kept running, trying to escape the attackers. I came across your sign, but passed out as soon as I entered. Pretty weird story, huh?" she said with an innocent look on her face.
Their jaws dropped.
"What?" gaped Hawkeye.
"Strangely enough, it's the truth," she said, staring at them all.
"B-but, then how do you know our names?" demanded Charles, hands pressing against his face.
"Well, this is going to sound even weirder than what I just told you, but oh well. You see, I am from the future, 2005 to be exact. You might have seen my shirt when I, erm, passed out. Anywho, you guys actually have a TV show in the future. It's really cool, I watch it like every day!" she said, getting excited.
The looks stayed on their faces, and one nurse even fainted.
Hawkeye slowly turned to B.J., who looked just as shocked as he did. "You can't expect us to believe all this, do you?" he asked, a half smile on.
"Well..." she said, just spreading out her arms, referring to herself. "Explain this then."
Hawkeye just put on a look of defeat and buried his face in his hands.
"Sorry you guys, but it's the truth," she said. "As soon as you let me out of this bed I can go take you to the tree, and maybe it will take us somewhere, I don't know. I'm just as confused as you guys are right now."
"Ok," said Hawkeye, pressing his hands on his knees, then getting up. "First thing in the morning, we'll go check out that tree. I think we all need to get some rest and time to think about this."
"Good idea Hawk," said B.J. as he got up too.
She watched as they left the room.
Later in The Swamp, B.J., Charles, and Hawkeye were in a heated debate about the girl.
"Look, she's obviously lying! I cannot believe you are buying these tales of 'time-travel', and silly television shows! Leave it up to you two boobs to believe this nonsense," ranted Charles, trying to be very logical about this situation.
"Well then how did she know our names!" demanded Hawkeye.
"She could be psychic," commented B.J. from his bed, filing through mail.
"But that still doesn't explain the shirt, or how she got here!"
"Well," said Charles, "she could have made the shirt herself. It's that entirely difficult."
"Well, explain to me how a teenage America girl managed to get to Korea! The U.S. doesn't go handing out plane tickets for here, this is a war zone!"
"Look, I am through arguing with you. She is obviously lying, and I am going to sleep, good night," said Charles briskly while pulling back his covers.
Charles, you can't just sleep away all of your problems!" raged Hawkeye, mad at Charles' lack of effort.
Right when Hawkeye was about to chuck a pillow at him, a voice came over the intercom. "Attention all personnel, more wounded entering the compound!"
Hawkeye just thrashed the pillow into the ground instead.
