I've been busy today writing updates for this story. I'll be starting uni soon, so I won't be able to do much then. I hope you like chapter 5 of this story.

BJ had everything he needed. He was grateful to Father Mulcahy for causing Margaret to open up. At least he wasn't the one to break Margaret's shell. He was lucky enough to have received the open Margaret. Now, all he had to do was find Charles so the notes could be written. Walking around the compound BJ found Charles nursing a cognac in the Officer's Club.

"Charles, may I join you?"

"Only if you must Hunnicutt."

"Charles, the plan has gone well. I have talked to both Margaret and Hawkeye and we were right. They really are in love. It's your turn to come into the plan. You need to write the notes."

"Alright. Do you have what they have said written down?" At this, BJ passed Charles the notes he had written after talking to Hawkeye and Margaret.

"Remember Charles, it's not meant to be Shakespeare. They're meant to sound truthful and caring. Each note must sound like something they would say. Now that you have their thoughts, all you have to do is make them into something the other should read."

"I might as well get started on these. The sooner I'm finished, the sooner I can have more cognac." Charles got up and went to the Swamp.

AT THE SWAMP

Charles sat at his desk. He had read the notes on the way over and was very perplexed at how he was going to make notes that would sound caring and loving – without upchucking, that is.

"Ok, Margaret and Hawkeye, I am doing this simply to keep you out of my conscience. Oh, what the hell, I want you to be happy. I'm just glad no one else was here to hear that. I have an image to protect." Charles smiled and began writing.

A FEW HOURS LATER

"Attention. Would Major Winchester, Captain Hunnicutt, Father Mulcahy and Corporal Klinger report to your CO's office. That is all." The Colonel turned off the PA and waited for the crew to arrive. He wanted to see the progress made in the little matchmaking plan. As soon as everyone was assembled, the Colonel stated, "I hope the plan is going well."

Charles spoke up and addressed his colleagues. "After much pondering, I have reluctantly come up with these notes. I do not know if they are appropriate, but I do hope that they convey their feelings well." Charles gave the notes to the Colonel. He read them out loud. The first was Hawkeye's note to Margaret. It read:

Dear Margaret,

For some time now I have really begun to know you. Throughout my fever, you have been there for me. You have taken care of me and you have talked to me. I have come realise that you are an incredibly smart and loving woman. I don't know how to tell you this, but I will try. I have loved you for some time and I hope with all my heart that you feel the same way. I hope these flowers show you that my words are real. I will not hurt you. All I will do is love you and care for you.

Love,

Hawkeye

The Colonel looked at Charles in shock. He could not believe that the man had written a very heartfelt sounding note. "Major, you have done well… Now, let's look at Margaret's one to Hawkeye."

Dear Hawkeye,

I have been trying to hide something from myself and from you for some time now. I now have the courage to admit it. I'm in love with you. You are smart, funny and you can always make me smile. It doesn't matter I we're in OR covered in blood or in the Officer's Club having a drink. Because of you I have changed. I have become a better person. I'll always love you for that. I hope that you feel the same.

Love,

Margaret

After the notes were read, everyone in the room was silent. Charles had done a wonderful job capturing their feelings. Everyone was sure now that soon the Captain and the Major would be together.

"Klinger, can you go and order roses for Margaret now? That's the final part of the plan."

"I'm already on the phone sir. And don't worry, I know, we can trade anything extra we have for these flowers."

TWO HOURS LATER

"Colonel, the roses have been ordered. They will be here tomorrow morning. I'll go and get them at the chopper so Major Houlihan doesn't see them before she should." Klinger was glad that everything was taking shape.

"Klinger, thank you for the horse trading you have done. I always knew you had the larceny in you." The Colonel and Klinger smiled.

THE NEXT MORNING

Klinger had some trouble hiding the roses from everyone, but he managed to hide them under his mink.

"Colonel, I have the roses. Now, which note do I deliver first?"

"Well, I think you should deliver Margaret's note to Hawkeye first. He's laid up so he won't be getting up to run to the Major's tent. Also, we don't want Margaret thanking Hawkeye for the roses before he has a chance to know Margaret's feelings."

"Ok sir… Here we go." With that Klinger left to do the final job.

POST-OP A FEW MINUTES LATER

As usual Margaret was there with Hawkeye, but Klinger knew how to get her to leave.

"Major, you're needed in Supply. It's something about a requisition fowl-up." Margaret looked annoyed, but she went.

"Hawkeye, I have to talk to you."

"What is it Klinger?"

"Well, the Major didn't want me to mention this, but she has a note for you. Just read it, but don't mention it to her anytime soon, ok?"

Hawkeye looked confused, but he went along with it. "Ok Klinger, just give me the note."

Klinger gave him the note and told him not to read it until he had left. As soon as he left, Hawkeye opened the note. He could not believe what he was reading…

MARGARET'S TENT

Klinger walked into Margaret's tent and dropped off the flowers with the note. He put them on her bed.

A few minutes later, after the Supply incident, Margaret went back to her tent to get a book to read to Hawkeye. As soon as she walked in she saw the roses.

"Who are these from?" She found the note in between the roses and read it. She could not believe it...
