Question three
::
"For five points, When was the first time Harm tried to get you into bed?" read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them. They began to laugh shaking their heads."Come on Sarah you really didn't think they were going to be close after their answers to the first two question?" grinned Harm.
"No, I guess not. After all Jack had you peg, you are a hound dog." smiled Sarah.
"So we can rightly assume that Harm tried to get you into bed in less than five years?" asked Sturgis.
"I guess you can say that buddy. I was going to say I didn't really tried that hard, but that's not entirely true. There were two people present the first time I tried, though it's not the one Sarah and I had agreed upon. Though they did both happen the same day." laughed Harm.
"Why do I think we're going to hear another interesting story here?" commented Meredith.
"Maybe because they have done so many interesting things in their time together." offered Bud.
"Alright who was with you the first time you went after Sarah?" asked Carolyn.
"Ah ...! I see where you're going Harm. You're right in a way. You really were trying to charm me. You almost did until I saw your apartment." smiled Sarah coyly.
"What! After I told you not to get too close because you have to work together!" bellowed the Admiral.
"And just why did you say that Sir?" replied Harm. Now was time for Bud to put his two cents worth in after the light came on.
"It was truly amazing experience. We were walking out of the White House Rose Garden when we met up with the Colonel. The Admiral introduced the Commander to the Colonel. She held out her hand in greeting.
The Commander just stood there staring into the Colonel's eyes as though he was memorized. Finally after a couple of minutes he shook her hand. And the courting began. They banter back and forth.
The Commander mentioned that the Colonel looked like someone he knew. The Colonel responded that it must be the uniform, you know marine green. The Commander than said no, she was in the Navy before he started his spiel about his dress whites and gold wings.
I could see the Colonel's face blush and her knees were shaking. But the Colonel was quick to thwart the Commander's attempt. She told him that dress whites and gold wings were highly over rated. That they only affect weak minded soft bellied squids.
It was funny though, even though the Colonel shot the Commander and his amazing charm down, he still had enough ammo left over to respond to her, he said we'd see.
If the Admiral hadn't stepped in right there I think the Colonel might have caved. Her legs were really wobbly then and her face was as red as a rash on a baby's ... well you know." smiled Bud in satisfaction for telling such a great story.
"Bud Roberts, why haven't you ever told me that story before? It's so beautiful." sighed Harriet.
"You didn't need any more encouragement in your crusade to get the Colonel and Commander together dear." replied Bud.
"Nice story Bud even though you embellished it a bit. I'm a ... " Sarah began before everyone interrupted and finished her statement with
"marine, I can take care of myself, especially when it concerns a squid."
"Good!" replied Sarah slightly embarrassed. "I can see I've taught you all well."
"That was a nice story Ma'am, but I don't understand." asked a confused Jennifer.
"I'm surprised Jen that you of all people don't understand. You were on an aircraft carrier with how many pilots? You're a good looking young lady. It's the standard opening line of all pilots.
They smile and say dress whites and gold wings will get you into bed anywhere." smiled Sarah. "Right Jack."
"Normally Colonel, but not with you." replied Jack. "Don't worry buddy, she made sure I stayed on my side of the tent the two nights I spent with her in the desert."
"So is it my understanding that he didn't even wait five minutes before he was using that line with you?" asked Carolyn. "What took you two so long to get together?"
"What makes you think it took us so long to get together? He took me to his apartment shortly afterward. Then later that day when we were out in Arizona, Harm determined that Webb had his phone was tapped and there must be a tracker in the car.
He decided when I pull into a gas station to change vehicles, to rent a pickup truck. He explained to me that we could pretend that he was my boyfriend and that we had been camping. He then mentioned that there was a bed in the back of the truck." explained Sarah.
"So Harm tried to get you into bed with him twice the first day he knew you. I always thought you were a mover and a shaker Harm, but even for you that's working pretty fast." exclaimed Carolyn.
"What! For the last seven years most of you have been trying to get Sarah and I together. What makes you think that we didn't know we belong together too. Now you all know the truth, we knew belonged together the first day we met." replied Harm. "By the way Jack was the closest once again."
Question four :
"I think we all realized now that Harm like me from the very beginning and his attempts for you know, but I think he would have made the same moves on any other woman he met. But the day in question was a few months later. Bud, you should have known about this one." smiled Sarah.
"Me?" responded Bud.
"Yes you Bud. You must have left twenty messages on his answering machine and paged him another fifteen times." replied Sarah.
"The day he took you flying." replied Bud as the light bulb once again came on.
"I don't understand." wondered Meredith.
"I think it has to do with Harm's passion to fly. If he took Sarah flying, he was sharing his passion for flying with her. It showed her how much he cared for her." explained Carolyn.
"That's true Carolyn. If there is anything that Harm loves more than life, it's flying. It's a passion for him. I always thought he put flying ahead of everything, including personal relationships.
I have to admit the first time he took me up I was apprehensive. But after a short time with the wind blowing in my hair, I understood the connection. It was a fantastic feeling. He even let me take the stick and fly the plane." beamed Sarah with a big smile.
"Is it true he named his plane after you Colonel?" asked Jennifer.
"You name your plane Sarah?" Meredith asked Harm in total disbelief.
"I wondered about that myself the first time when I saw Sarah painted on his plane. I thought maybe it was a ploy on his part. You know looking for special attention. Later I found out he named his plane after his grandmother." replied Sarah.
"Wasn't that the same time you got shot Sarah?" asked Carolyn.
"What! You got shot? How's that possible if you were flying?" asked Meredith.
"Yes Meredith, but that's a story for another time or should I say another question." grinned Sarah.
"By the way Bud had the closest answer. He missed by several months. The correct date was 28 Sep 1996."
NOTE: I don't know the real date, but I assume it must have been in the fall by the way Sarah was dress and the fact it was pretty cold at night the day Sarah was shot (she said she nearly froze her butt off).
Question five :
"We were in Colombia with our favorite spook. Webb had screwed up another operation and Sarah and I had to go in and clean it up." smiled Harm.
"That's not entirely true Harm. It was the marines who screwed up. It was a marine who claimed his rifle jammed. It was the marines who left one their own behind. I had nothing to do with that." replied Webb indignantly.
"That maybe true Clay, but who was it that got himself taken as a hostage in place of a dead marine?" snarled Sarah.
"It was part of a bigger plan that we came up with at state to draw out the drug lord." explained Webb.
"You keep telling yourself that Clay, maybe some day you will actually believe that yourself." laughed Sarah.
"So what happen buddy? How did Sarah show you that she like you and when did it happen?" asked Jack. This sounded like another interesting story. Harm smiled to himself as he remembered that day so long ago.
"Interesting story Jack. As you all know the first day we met I tried to charm Sarah. I was wearing my dress whites and gold wings. She had barely survive my immense charms and personality." began Harm as everyone laughed.
"She had said marines weren't affected by dress whites and gold wings. I had told her we'll see. I had a feeling things had changed a few weeks before when we had gone flying in my biplane.
She had been quizzing me all day about the name on the plane. Who was she? Was I still in love with her? Why did I named the plane after her? I suspected she was trying to figure out where she stood with me." smiled Harm.
"Yeah, yeah, we all know how arrogant all you flyboys are Harm, can you please cut to the chase and tell us when all this happen." moaned Sturgis.
"Yeah Harm, you aren't really telling us something we don't already know." added Carolyn.
"Okay guys, back to the real story. Webb had gotten himself taken hostage by the drug lord. Sarah and I had come up with a plan. I would visit the drug lord to negotiate for Webb's release. Sarah would follow ten minutes later with a squad of marines.
Funny thing was she wanted to include a marine who had failed in his duties twice already. Webb wanted him court-martialed. She came in to see me to argue his case. I'm standing there in my dress whites and gold wings.
She had on a pretty blue sundress. She tells me how good I look in my dress whites and gold wings. She's being quite seductive in her presentation. I left her smooze me for a while before I relented.
I told her she could bring the marine along if she really believed in him. She grabbed my face with both hands and drew close to me. She was inches away from kissing me before she backed off looking embarrass, yet very seductive." smiled Harm.
"Nice story Rabb, when did it happen?" asked Sturgis.
"25 Oct 1996, Webb was the closest." replied Harm.
"It must have been the sundress that gave it away." grinned Jack.
"Yeah, it was a dress, but not that dress. I saw how Sarah acted around Harm when he was escorting the Romanian princess. I saw how Harm rejected all the princess's advances? And if you saw Sarah in that dress and on Harm's arm, right AJ." smiled Webb.
"Ah ... yes ... She did look mighty fine that night. Wasn't that the night they were playing matchmaker too." grinned the Admiral.
"Yes Sir, that was the night we got Bud and Harriet back together after Bud missed a dinner date when he had a flat tire and no spare. Harriet was upset with him." replied Sarah.
"Some things never change." laughed Carolyn.
