Margaret looked up at Hawkeye "So, you joined because you wanted to be with me?"

"Yup. I' m so happy it turned out this way. Do you want to know what will make it even more special?"

"What could be more special than this?" asked Margaret.

"Sit here and wait about five minutes." Said Hawkeye. He couldn't resist on kissing her before he left.

SWAMP

Hawkeye ran in, and got in to his foot locker, looking for some thing his dad had gave before he left: his mothers engagement ring, incase he had meet 'her' over here. And he had.

"Hey Hawkeye, what are you doing?" Asked BJ, wondering why his friend ran in the tent so fast.

"I'm looking for my mother's engagement ring," replied Hawkeye finding the small black, velvet box.

"Who?!" asked BJ, but Hawkeye was long gone.

MARGARET'S TENT

Margaret looked up from where she was sitting, as Hawkeye raced into the room.

"Now, are you going to tell me what could be better?" asked Margaret.

"Yes, I am." Said Hawkeye as he got down on one knee. "Margaret, we've been together for a long time. A very long time. For a while, we hated each other, but we came to our sense. Margaret Houlihan, will you marry me?

Margaret looked at him and in very shaky voice, said "Yes."

Hawkeye gave her his trademark smile as he sidled the ring on to her hand.

"Hawkeye, you're not going to hurt me, right?" asked Margaret.

Hawkeye looked up, and saw Margaret face filled up with fear. He realized just about every time she got together with some one, she would be hurt. He took her into his arms, looked down into her face and said "No. Never ever. And I'll never cheat on you." Margaret snuggled up to him so her head was under his chin, and sighed happily.

"Hawkeye, are you off tomorrow?" asked Margaret.

"Yes, why?"

"Good. Now that your regular army, you should act like it"

Hawkeye groaned at that very thought: Being a regular army personal.
