HARM'S APARTMENT
1 AM
Mac was a little stunned again, this was the second time today that Harm had kissed her.
"I should have hit you in the head sooner." Mac teased. "What's going on with you today?"
"Mac every time I close my eyes I am back in time. It so real; the sounds the people you can't believe it."
"Am I there?" Mac asked coyly.
"Yes, oh god yes. You were a hostess at the Stage Door Canteen, we met right before I shipped out." Harm smiled. "I gave you my graduation ring to keep."
"This ring?" Mac asked taking his hand and pointing to the ring.
"I was flying combat missions in the Pacific. I could feel the engines. I saw the faces of the pilots I shot down, it was surreal." He continued. "Then I came back to New York and it was V-J Day. You know that Eisenstaedt picture from Life Magazine of the couple kissing? I saw it happen."
"It seems you have a rather vivid imagination. Who'd a thunk it?" Mac commented. "Anything else happen?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah," Harm said. "Well?" Mac asked. "I loved you." Harm said flatly. Mac just stared at Harm, what could she possibly say to that?
The two just sat there staring at each other. Harm finally broke the silence. "I think you loved me too."
Mac didn't know what to say. She had been waiting to hear these words from Harm, but not in the past tense and not about technically two other people.
"Harm, I think you better get some rest." Mac said as she got up and walked into the living room.
Harm sat their a bit confused not sure what he said that was wrong. She did ask about the dreams. All he did was answer her questions. It was actually interesting, being part of the past and such an amazing time in history.
As Mac sat on the couch she thought about what Harm said. Why did it bother me so much? She wondered. Because he can't seem to love you in the present. She answered her own question. If I could just get he past Harm and the present Harm to get together. Mac was confusing herself. She grabbed a blanket and went to sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
7:30AM
Harm had slept though the night, he didn't have any dreams that he remembered and his head was feeling a lot better. He walked into the living room and saw Mac sleeping peacefully on the coach. Wow, I am up before her, he thought.
He walked over and rubbed her shoulder, "Mac, wake up." He said.
"Harm, are you okay?" Mac asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, no headache." Harm said.
"Any dreams?" Mac asked. "Not a single one." Harm almost sounded disappointed.
"Hey since it's Saturday, how about we spend the day bumming around?" He asked Mac. "Sure, sounds like fun, what did you have in mind Flyboy or should I say Ace?" Mac teased.
"I don't know, how about a trip to the Smithsonian?" Harm suggested.
Knowing full well that the Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian had a display of World War II aviation, Mac just smiled and nodded yes. "Hey Harm how about some breakfast first. The museum doesn't open for a few hours."
SMITHSONIAN AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM
They walked through the museum, looking at all the different aircraft. Harm would have liked to see the Enola Gay, but the exhibit had been removed and would not be back up until 2003.
They went to the World War II wing and then to the Golden Age of Flight. After that they decided to grab a bite at the Wright Place Restaurant.
After lunch, they went to see other exhibitions. They saw an IMAX film at the Lockheed Martin theatre and then to the Albert Einstein Planetarium. They watched "The Stars Tonight" presentation.
While they were sitting there Harm reached over and took Mac's hand. She didn't say anything but she did tighten her grip around his fingers. Harm leaned over and whispered, "Let's get out of here."
They walked out of the planetarium and out of the museum all together.
"You feeling okay?" Mac asked.
"Yeah, just getting a little headache." Harm replied.
"Let's get you home, maybe you're still reeling from your bump." Mac said.
HARM'S APARTMENT
"Mac aren't you tired? How much sleep did you get?" Harm asked.
"Enough." Mac smiled and she curled up on the couch.
"Wanna stay for dinner?" Harm asked.
"Sure, what's on the menu?" Mac responded.
"I don't know," he said as he looked through the fridge and cabinets. "Order?"
"Sounds good to me, Chinese?" Mac suggested.
Harm picked up the phone and placed an order. He and Mac then sat and relaxed and waited for the delivery.
Dinner came and they ate and chatting about nothing in particular. Once they were finished Harm took the plates into the kitchen and Mac started going through the video collection.
"Can I pop in a movie?" Mac called out.
"Sounds good." Harm said as he returned to the couch and got comfortable.
Before they knew it they had both fallen asleep.
Before Harm knew it he was having another dream.
