Chapter 4: Awkward much…

Well here's finally chapter 4! Sorry if it isn't all that good, there are a couple reasons which I'll list below.

I think I'm getting sick.

I have other papers to write.

I don't even know if this story is good enough to keep going.

I have a choir concert on Saturday which I am no where as near ready for.

Yeah I know, excuses excuses, but I'm trying the best right now. Oh yeah I DO NOT OWN MASH I ONLY OWN THE SALLAS FAMILY! Ha there we go. Ok onto the chapter!

When Talea heard the door close, she sighed and started unpacking. She noticed a chest by the foot of her bed she didn't see before, and walked over to it. Kneeling, she pulled open the top to see it empty, so she took her second bag and opened it. It was full of clothes and a tiny bag of makeup. Putting all her clothes in there, having little spare room in the chest she shut it with a snap. She got up, looking at her last bag on the floor, before kicking it under the bed. No reason to unpack that, which would be risky. Letting secrets out is never a good thing, only causes problems. Besides if they found out…chaos would most likely ensue. She thought in her head before lying down on her bed with a thud. Not that comfy but it will do. Reaching over to her desk she grabbed her music sheets, most of which were blank. Talea like writing her own music, even just changing some parts of another song. She started writing in some parts of a new song she had come up with on the way over here. A, G, F# (# is sharp, b is a flat for those who don't know music), G…Before she could finish she fell asleep, more tired than she thought.

When Radar headed out he headed out over to the Swamp to see what was going on over there. When he arrived there, thankfully, Frank was nowhere in sight; but BJ and Hawkeye were lying down, drinking as usual. As he opened the door he was greeted noisily by the two, Hawkeye first of course.

"Hey how's our beloved Corporal? Got back from the new Majors tent, hmm?"

"Yeah, so how are you two lovebirds now? Hope your both not shy!"

"Aw, would ya guys knock it off? She's not even interested in me or anything like that. I mean for Pete's sake she just got here!"

"Well I hope for all of our sake's you both don't go flirting around everywhere. I mean you guys were standing pretty close when Talea rammed into you huh?" Hawkeye said smirking.

"Hey! How'd you find out?" Radar exclaimed turning rosy.

"Ah ha! So it WAS true! I knew Klinger wasn't lying when he told us, Hawk!"

"Yeah yeah you were right…"

"Pay up bub!" BJ held out his hand and Hawkeye slapped a 5 in his hand.

"You guys were betting on this!"

"Of course, we bet on everything. You should know that by now, Radar. But now you owe me a 5, because I just lost it." Hawkeye said this right before Potter knocked and came in.

"Hawkeye, BJ, Radar would you all like to join me in the mess tent for some dinner?"

"We'd be delighted Potter." BJ said.

"Yeah I could go for some wanna be food right about now." Hawkeye's answer was. Before Radar could say anything Potter said, "Radar would you get Talea, she probably doesn't know it's dinner time and I want her to be comfortable eating with someone she knows."

"Uh, um alright sir." Radar muttered before walking out of the room, leaving Potter grinning. BJ and Hawkeye noticed the grin right away and smiled themselves.

"Oh Potter you sly dog, making Radar go get Talea." Hawkeye said hitting Potter's arm laughing. Potter laughed as well and said, "I think it's about time we head off to dinner though, we'll meet up with them soon enough." All three of them walked out laughing.

Why are they sending me to get Talea again? Can't they do it? Why me! Not that I'm going to complain, I get to see her again. Radar thought to himself as he weaved in and out of people heading over to the Mess tent, the opposite where he was going. When he reached her door he knocked.

"Talea? This is Radar, umm; it's dinner so I thought I would bring you over to the mess tent…Major?" When he didn't hear a response he peeked his head in, and when seeing her asleep he came in. She was asleep on her right arm, face facing out, on her side, and when he walked toward here heard a crinkle. He looked down and under his foot was a piece of music, so picking it up he gave it a glance. It was music notes written on a music bar, in pencil. Did she write this? He thought to himself before picking up the rest of the papers, plus pencil and setting them on the desk. After doing that he walked over to her where she was still asleep, her mouth parted, breathing deeply through her mouth. For a minute all he could do was stare at her face, her lips, it was almost hypnotizing. Then before he could control his actions, he put a hand on her face, feeling her soft skin underneath his hand for a second. Only a second before Talea's eyes flew open in shock. Before Radar realized it, Talea flipped him over so he landed on his back, on her bed and she was straddling him, one hand on his chest holding him down and the other ready to punch him. Radar finally realized what was going on and screamed.

"AAH! WAIT ITS RADAR, TALEA!" When he yelled this Talea seemed to fully wake up then. She blinked her eyes, before recognition came to her eyes.

"Radar?" When she spoke it was slightly slurred from the sleep.

"Yes, its Radar."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to get you for dinner, when you kind of attacked me."

"I…I did? Oh I'm sorry Radar." She put her other hand down, and breathing out deeply she let her head drop near his shoulder. It wasn't them, it was just a nightmare. Just a nightmare…Talea thought in her head. She didn't realize when she laid her head down; she ended up sitting on Radar, making him blush.

"Uh, Talea?" Before anyone could answer, the door swung open and the one and Only Father Mulchady stepped in.

"Radar I thought I heard you yell are you al-Oh Father Almighty!" It was a very awkward moment for all three of them. Talea's head and whole upper body snapped up, turning to see Father Mulchady, who turned red and stammered out some phrases from the bible, who was still looking at Radar who was even redder than the Father, and did the instinctual thing. Try and sit up really quick. When he did that he also turned to the side, making Talea fall off the bed. She landed on the ground with a thumb and hit the back of her head. Radar looked at her for a moment before getting off the bed and kneeling beside her. The Father seemed to realize this and went by her side too.

"Are you alright my child! That was quite a fall!"

"Oh geez I'm so sorry!"

Talea sat up on one elbow and with the other hand rubbed the back of her head. Ooh I'm definitely going to get a headache.

"I'm fine you two." She said this getting up making sure not to show she was hurt. Both of the men stood up and for a minute there was an awkward silence before Father Mulchady cleared his throat.

"I was just heading over to the mess tent for dinner. Are you two coming as well?"

"Oh yes, that's why I was here Talea, to get you to dinner."

"Oh I see. Then lets go shall we men?" Talea said this before walking out of the door. Father looked over at Radar before following her, and Radar followed as well. Well that was embarrassing. Radar said in his head before walking with Talea and Father to the mess tent, both men leading the way.
