Mac's Apartment
0103 ZULU , October 17th

Mac lay, awake in her bed , trying , without success to get to sleep. Harm had driven her home earlier, after she'd fainted and had to be taken to hospital. Ever since she'd found out that Mic was dead, her fiancee had died, she'd been unable to control these emotions in her body. She'd been unable to keep any proper food down, she's fainted and hadn't got any sleep. Mac rolled over, it was like someone was teasing her, saying the same phrase over and over in her head, until finally she would crack and do something drastic, or at least do something. 'That's three dead fiancees, they all loved you and died. Better not let anyone near you again! ' A silent tear slipped down her cheek. I loved him, but .........but he wasn't the one and , yet he died , was it because he was in love with me. This isn't the way love is meant to be, Cinderella had one man, and he rescued her.............. But who's going to rescue me.
Mac got up and sat on the window seat. 'I guess', she thought, ' I guess it's going to another sleepless night'.


Jag Headquarters
0930 ZULU , October 17th

Harm walked into Mac's office. "Knock, Knock", he said, walking over to her desk. "Are you sure that you want to come in today? I'm sure the Admiral would give you some time off........", he stopped, suddenly realising that it was very likely that Mac would glare at him and tell him off for interfering. But instead , he was met with a smile, and "You know, I'm fine, but thanks for the consideration." . Harm was taken back suprise and before he realised what he was saying, the words were out , "Well, since you're feeling better, maybe you'd like to go out to dinner tonight, or something. I must owe you heaps of dinners by now, so it's my turn....." .
'Oh boy. I've really put my foot in it now', he thought. But once again, Mac suprised him by saying ' Sure, how about...um... 8 o'clock at maybe Strassmans?" . Harm answered straight away, "Sure!!"

As soon as Harm walked out, Mac couldn't believe what she had done


Mac's Apartment
1845 ZULU , October 17th

Mac sat down , on her window seat , trying to calm her nerves. Finally, she was going on a date with Harmon Rabb Jr. and she couldn't have been more nervous. She look gorgeous, in a pair of white Capri pants and a deep blue halter top, with a simple pair of heels, but still.............. it was hard to control nerves.
"Mic........ I know that you're going to find this hard to watch, if you're watching, but I have to move on. You'll always be in my heart, but if you love me, you'll want me to be happy". Suddenly, the feelings of nervousness had gone, leaving only a sexy, confident and happy woman underneath. Mac grabbed her coat and purse and strutted out the door.

Harm's Apartment
1835 ZULU , October 17th

Harm must've been on a hundred dates, but none of them seemed as important as this. Now usually, he was Mr. Cool. He was in control, yet he was shocked to discover that the possibility of a future with Mac made him shake. He really liked......no loved her....... and if he goofed up tonight, she mightn't know that. Tonight had to be PERFECT . He'd take her out to dinner, then he'd either invite her back for coffee, take her to the beach or go to see a late night movie. He realised he felt like a teenager again. Jordan or Renee had never made him feel this special. "Damn! I'm going to be late!!!!", he yelled, running out the door, grabbing a wallet and keys, just a the door slammed.

Mac drove along the freeway, hoping like hell she wouldn't be late. 10 minutes later, she had puled into the parking lot and given the Valet her keys. Harm was waiting with that 'I'm so cute and I know it' smile and she knew that it was going to be a great night!

Strassman's Restaurant
2126 ZULU , October 17th

"And he was totally dumbfounded !" , Harm exclaimed and Mac laughed. "You certainly know how to tell a story! " , Mac looked around, "Uhh... Harm..... we're the only ones left in the restaurant! I think that the manager wants us to pack up." . Harm looked around and was startled to find that , once when there had been a full restaurant, there was now only empty chairs and tables. "Excuse me, waiter? Can we have the bill?"

Outside Strassman's Restaurant
2146 ZULU , October 17th

"Well, it's still.......pretty ...um... early. So do you want to.......?" , Harm, realised he was babbling. He'd never babbled with anyone before. Mac interrupted him, "Go back to your apartment? That'd be great. I'd love to!"

Harm's Apartment
2212 ZULU October 17th

"Sit down. Make yourself at home, while I make some coffee." , Harm said while he went into the kitchen. 'Okay Harm, this is it. Whatever you do will either make you or break you from now on.' 'Boy, that makes me feel better'

Meanwhile , in Harm's living room...........

Mac quickly checked her makeup and then tried to calm herself down. 'If you act nervous and jumpy, you'll turn him off.'. She took a few deep breaths , and then smiled as Harm came in.

"Wow!" , Harm was taken back my how beautiful Mac looked. then he realised that he must look like a real idiot just standing there with a tray carrying two coffee cups, so he put the tray down and sat down.
"Ma...Sarah. You look so beautiful and I've been dying to say this all my life............"
