Khezia looked up from her book to see a man with blonde hair walk into the room. "Hello." She smiled and stood up. "I'm Captain Khezia Tyler." She saluted

"Major Frank Burns." (Moans are heard throughout the audience.) He returned the salute before sitting down on his bunk. "What are you doing in the doctor's tent?"

"I am a doctor, sir."

"Really, well we shall see about having a woman doctor in this camp."

"Listen to me Major. I don't give a witch's stick that you are superior to me. I am a darn fine doctor if you ask me and if I am given that talent by the Lord then I am going to use it. If you are not happy that I am saying this well get over it. I have friends in high place so don't go complaining to Col. Blake!" she growled and flopped down on her bunk.

"You have been very insubordinate. I will let it go this time but if it happens again I shall have a talk with the C.O." Khezia buried her nose into her book as he continued to rant and rave about how a woman should not be a doctor.

A woman walked up to the door and knocked. "Come in." Frank responded.

"I'm Major Margaret Houlihan, head nurse."

"Major Frank Burns, MD." Frank stood and saluted her.

"Captain Khezia Tyler. Doc-tor." She sounded out the syllables.

"Khezia, that is an interesting name."

"Thank you, Ma'am."

"Well I must be going. I need to see that my nurses' quarters are satisfactory." She marched out and left Khezia to endure more of Burns's lecturing.

Later that night Major Burns was looking around the camp when Corporal O'Riley walked through the door to talk to Khezia. "Captain?"

"Call me Khezia, Radar."

"Radar?"

"Yeah Radar. I thought it would be a great name for you."

"Thanks, Khezia."

"Welcome, what do ya want?"

"Um, well ya know if you put a small curtain around your bed I could fix it so you had a little more privacy."

"That would be great, Radar, thanks."

"I'll go get the stuff."

"Thanks." Khezia moved her bed around so that the she would have enough space behind the sheets to dress.

In less than an hour Khezia and Radar had everything perfect. "Thanks, I couldn't have done it with out ya."

"Thanks, it was nothin'" Khezia laughed when she noticed that Radar was blushing a deep shade of red.

"Sorry if I embarrassed you."

"You didn't. I've just always been shy around, well ya know, girls."

"That's ok Radar. I used to be like that with guys, until I met my husband."

"You're married."

"Yeah."

"Any kids?"

"My stepdaughter's is sixteen her name is Anna"

"Wow, that's great." Radar smiled.

They sat there talking until a man with a suitcase and duffle bag walked in the door. "Is this the doctor's quarters?" he asked the army green sheet.

"Who wants to know?" Radar asked without looking out.

"Captain B. F. Pierce."

"Oh my goodness." He jumped from behind the sheet and saluted the officer.

"Quit the saluting, I hate it."

"Yes sir. Three down one to go." He whispered.

"'Scuse me?"

"I mean three are here, all we need is one more doctor."

"Ah, I see." Radar scurried out to report to Col. Blake.

"Why, may I ask, is a green sheet hanging here?"

"For privacy, sir." Khezia stepped from behind the sheet.

"What is a woman doing in here?" Captain Pierce asked himself before he collapsed on the bunk diagonal from hers.

"I'm one of the doctors."

"Really? Well, we should put you in with the head nurse."

"I'm not moving, sir. And if you don't like that you can go to hell because I am not going anywhere."

"We shall see." He walked out of the room in a huff.

I hope this is good! I need any type of ideas you can give me! I would really appreciate it.
