Babe was happy that they were finally going back to England, since Easy had been in combat for over a month. He needed to relax, along with all the other men.
The first thing he couldnt wait to do was take a long awaited shower. He felt so digusting from the dirt and sweat that he uniform was covered from. He walked into the barracks and saw a few other men, and nodded in their direction. He dropped his kit on his bed and sat down. His muscles were tired but for some odd reason he managed to feel pretty awake. He then felt someones hand on his shoulder and turned his head to see who it was.

Tab placed his hand on the red heads shoulder. " Better get to the showers before everyone else." he stated quietly, as he swung his towel over his shoulder. He felt just like Babe, and wanted to get clean as soon as possible.

"Okay, i'll be right behind you." Babe said in calmly. He stood up and got a towel and walked to where they had the showers. He knew once he was clean, his body would feel relaxed. When he got to the showers there was only a few of the others guys around, but soon it would be packed

About a minute later, Joe walked into the shower area. " Whoa, I expected the whole battalion to be jammed in here." he quipped, his eye catching Babe's and flashing a small grin. Pulling his white undershirt over his head, Joe tossed his belongings, which were a bar of soap, a washcloth, and a toothbrush, along with his shirt, onto a bench.

Babe looked over at Joe when he saw him come into the shower area. "Yeah I thought the same thing." He grabbed his bar of soap and turned on the shower he was standing by, the hot water felt so nice on his skin.

Joe kept his pants on, seeing as it was his upper body and face that felt the dirtiest, and turned the knob on the shower he was under, and closed his eyes as the warm water, something he hadn't felt in what seemed like ages, hit him, running down his face and chest.

Babe too kept his pants on. He just needed to feel the sense of being clean. "I'm glad we're getting a break, we all need it." Babe said softly.

Joe kept his eyes closed, enjoying the touch of warm water on his skin. "Hell yeah. Isn't this the first break we had since Toccoa?" Joe joked, blindly feeling around for his bar of soap.

Babe grinned at Joes joke. He washed his face and upper body and rinished off, feeling completely refreshed. He turned off the water and walked over to grab his towel. He then dried himself off.

Joe heard the squeak of the shower being turned off, and opened his eyes to see Babe drying himself off. "You gettin' enough to eat, Babe? You look like skin and bones." he commented, as he looked at the red head. Granted, every soldier lost a lot of weight from running, or starvation.

"I'm trying to." Babe was skinny as rake before the war, and could tell he was skinner, but there wasnt much he could do. He tried to eat as much as he could. "Once i'm all dressed I'm going to get some food, you want to come with?" He asked, he was starving like most of the guys were.

Joe turned the knob on the shower to the right, and the water shut off. Instantly Joe regretted turning it off, but he knew he couldn't stay in the showers forever, he'd end up looking like Colonel Sink. A prune. Reaching for his towel, Joe nodded. " Sure, I could use some grub. Wish I was back home, though. I don't like this English food too much." Joe said, though his voice was muffled by the towel was he dried his face.

Babe was all dried off, except for his pants. "Me either. " Babe missed the food back home in Philly. He missed his moms home cooking badly. He waited for Joe to finished drying off, so they could walk together back to the barracks to get changed.

Joe swung his towel over his shoulder, and reached down to grab his shirt. He felt his pants, which were soaked. "Feels like I pissed myself." he muttered, before walking out of the shower area with Babe.

Roe was leaving the hospital when he saw Babe and Toye walking towards the mess hall. Roe walked over to them and asked, "Mind if I join you guys to the mess hall?"
