Part 3

Her voice was soft, soft and delicate that it put Murdock in the mind of a fairy queen. She replied, "My name is Astrid."

She placed her tiny hand into Murdock's cupped hand, where he gingerly touched his lips to the top of her hand. Astrid blushed andMurdock gave a warm grin.

Sean watched Murdock slowly get back up to his feet and then again he said, "Now HM, Please name your wishes."

Murdock looked down upon the tiny gentleman who know had placed both of his tiny hands on his hips and saw that he was also tapping his left foot.

Murdock got a devilish grin and he grabbed the little man cradled him in his big left arm and began vigorously rubbing the little man's belly.

"Put me down HM! Your rub a lamp to get a genie not a leprechaun for ya wishes. NOW PUT ME DOWN!" Sean yelled.

Murdock as he was laughing saw that Astrid was giggling. He then said between laughter "As you wish your highness."

He placed Sean onto the ground to which Sean replied, "Thank You Murdock. Now let's get on with it."

"Okay Kimosabi, you win." Murdock said to Sean. "It is that these 3 wishes are very important and I will need to be very careful with my requests. Therefore, I must have time to think about this long and hard and without any interruptions. I also must have 3 days to decide."

"Okay HM. That sounds good to me. On the 3rd day you will come to me. Astrid and I will be under the 3rd mushroom on the west side of this area. You can't miss it Murdock. It is the one with the bright red cap!" Sean said. "I will see you in three days little man. You better be under that mushroom." Murdock said with a smile and a wink.

"Don't worry, I will be there" Sean answered.

The third day came fast for Murdock so he began his search for the red capped mushroom on the west side of the area that he had left 3 days earlier. He squinted around, shielding his eyes from the brightness of the sun. There he spotted Sean and Astrid asleep under the protective fungi. Murdock quietly crept around the mushroom until his face was directly beside Sean's snoring body.

The leprechaun stretched, yawned and wiggled his toes to wake up when his hand bumped something. Sean turned his head towards Murdock's bright bubbly smiling face "Boo" Murdock whispered.

"AGGGGH! What are ye trying to do HM? Give me a heart attack?" Sean screamed.

Murdock laughing and said, "I am sorry, I just didn't want to wake you two up. You both were sleeping really good. Especially you Sean. I heard you a mile away."

"Oh shut up Captain." Sean grumbled. Astrid giggled herself awake and the antics of their tall friend. Sean stood up and climbed to the top of the mushroom. "Okay, Captain. What are ye wishes?"

Murdock arose to his feet and pushes both of his hands into his pants pockets. He slowly shuffled his feet and began swaying his body side to side. "Well, Sean. I have a problem. You see. I am taken really good care of at the VA. They give me 3 meals a day plus all the snacks that I want. I get to play my arcade games. And every time Faceman breaks me out, I never get into any trouble. I really have everything that I could possibly want. I really thought hard about the wishes and all I got was a headache. Then I finally solved my problem. We can bring my team here. They would know what to do."

Sean replied "That is just like you HM. You are a sweet man. You are a good man. Content with what you have. I have never met a human that was truly content with their life. You truly are a special person. So what you are suggesting is that you transfer your wishes to others?"

Murdock gave a big smile and said, "Yes that's it! You see there are 3 of them. Could they each get a wish?"

Sean: "Aye Laddie , just how do ye propose to do this?"

Murdock exclaimed "Bring them here. Right now! Can ya do it Little buddy?"

Sean said " Yes. But it will take some power. I will need you to go over to that tree and take Astrid with you."

Murdock happily skipped over to Astrid swept her up into his arms and they both plopped under the shade tree to watch Sean work.

Sean vigorously rubbed his fat little hands together and began chanting "A-Team Come Now, HM needs you. A-Team, A-Team don't find my thoughts Come now!" Sean kept repeating this chant and then wildly waving his arms as if he was exasperated. HM worriedly looked at Astrid.

She reassuringly touched Murdock's jacket sleeve and softly cooed "Relax HM. He knows what he is doing. Everything will work out fine. Just watch him work." He looked at the sweet flower like lady and saw her face beam with pride as she watched her husband work. He then knew the A-Team was on their way

. All of a sudden the sky grew extremely blue and the gold from the sun seemed to fill the sky. At that moment Allura appeared floating above HM.

"Hello, HM. I am delivering your friends. You will first hear their voices and then they will come into view. " Her face was of an angel and her body of a swan. He could sense that in the folds of her wings were his friends after all, he could hear them but he just could not see them due to the illuminating light surrounding her. All that was heard was the conversation of the 3 men in the wings of Allura.

FACE: "Hannibal, Where are we? All I remember is this vision of a beautiful woman, like a dove or bird of some sort appears in my room floating above my bed and says she is taking me to Murdock now. I guess you can say she swept me off of my feet."

HANNIBAL: "Face, I wish I knew. You say that she appeared above your bed and you actually were decently dressed? I am amazed I guess my miracles never cease."

FACE: "Yeah. Thanks Hannibal. By the way what were you doing when she appeared to you?"

HANNIBAL: "As usual Faceman, I was planning on how to find Murdock when she appeared in front of me and said, I will take you to HM."

B.A.: "I don't want to be here! I don't like it. All I know is that this woman, fairy, dove, or whatever comes to me and says that she is taking me to HM. I don't like the fool giving orders to me. I just don't like it."

HANNIBAL: "You made your point B.A. now just calm down. She is landing now. Let's see where we are."

The Leader, The Conman and the tough guy climbed out of the safety of Allura's wings. She then floated in a mist above them.

"Do not be afraid gentlemen. HM really needs your assistance follow me. I will take you to him." she said.

The three men followed her when BA spoke "Follow her? All I see is mist."

Hannibal rested his hand on the big guys strong back and said, "Easy BA. If it is very important to Murdock that we be here then we will be happy about it okay?"

"Okay Hannibal." BA grumbled.

As the three men were following Allura they were taking in their new surroundings.

"Check this out fellas...I have seen views like this but they were children's books." Face said.

BA replied, "Yeah, It is just like the fool to pop us in his very own never-neverland."

Hannibal then remarked, "Knock it off BA"

BA "Yeah okay."

Just as fast as Allura had appeared to Hannibal, Face, and BA she had vanished the same way and in their view was their tall, lanky captain with a broad smile to greet them.

HM raced to his fried and hugged them all up and exclaimed "Guys, Isn't this a beautiful place?" His friends smiled in agreement. HM directed the rest of his team over to the tiny couple and lifted Astrid up in his arms and summed up what happened to him. "To make the long story short guys. I met Sean as you can see he is a leprechaun and he needed my help to find his pot of gold. Well, we found it and now he granted me 3 wishes. This is were you guys come in. I couldn't think of any wishes so Sean agreed to give each of you a wish that way the three wishes will be complete. I knew you guys could help me so what do you say?"

Face was the first to speak. He had his slender fingers stroking his chin and he said, "Hmmmmm...A pot of gold Murdock. Well, where is this treasure?"

Murdock beaming holding Astrid said "Right here Faceman. I am holding her!"

Hannibal, BA and Faceman looked at her and smiled Face then commented, "My that is a treasure." Astrid blushed in response.

HM said "We don't have all day guys, Why don't I start with you Big guy. Name me one wish."

BA replied "I now we need more teen centers for our teenagers. Many kids don't have anywhere to go except on the streets."

Murdock nodded and then turned to Faceman. "Well Face, what is your wish?"

Face smiled and rubbed his hands slowly together as he spoke. "You know HM. There are alot of unwed mothers who need a place to live and to get help. Oh one more thing, please make sure that Templeton Peck is the founder father so to speak.

Murdock rolled his eyes upward to the sky and with a sigh replied "Of course Face."

HM looked over at Hannibal "So Colonel, What would your wish be?" Hannibal gave a big smile with an unlit cigar clenched between his teeth and said "Libraries! I think we need to have information available to all of our youth in order to for them to have all the know on anything that want. A mind is a serious thing to waste."

HM smiled and nodded. He glanced over to Sean. Sean smiled and said with a wave of his hand "It is done."

After the wave of his hand the men appeared in the courtyard of the VA hospital. " Gee that was a wild dream, wasn't it?" Murdock asked.

Face answered him "It sure was HM it seemed so real to me too."

The team entered the recreation area of the VA and they noticed the newscaster on the TV set. "We want to thank the A-TEAM for all of the wonderful things that they have done for America. Where are these guys and how did they do it? The BA Baracus teen centers are popping up all over the US and in every city. The Templeton Peck Home for Unwed Mothers is flourishing! Now mothers of all ages can live, raise their children, and find jobs. Also the Hannibal Smith Information Centers are the best vaults of information anywhere on earth. There is so much informational material to really help educate our young people. Where ever you mystery men are America Thanks You!"

Murdock, Faceman, Hannibal and BA just blinked in response to the TV. Never had they thought in a million years that what they experienced was real. At that time The Wizard of Oz came on and the men sat down to watch it.

The End
