Part 1
"Anyway, at lunch I'll go out and get us something to eat, and before you say it, I'll get you a Beltway Burger, and while I'm doing that, you can start on the arrangements." Mac actually looked shocked when Harm offered to buy her a burger
"Did I hear you right you'd be willing to get me a burger"
"Well I know there's no way if I brought you back something healthy to eat, you'd eat it. Which would mean I would have a hungry Marine on my hands and I do value my life. Thank you very much" Mac had a huge grin on her face when she answered Harm
"I think you're finally learning Squid" Harm just smiled.
"Talk to you at lunch." Harm turned and headed for his office. Mac did the same.
Part 2
1330 ZULU Mac's office JAG Headquarters
Mac was on the phone booking the plane tickets, when there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
Harm walked in holding up a Beltway Burger bag. Seeing Mac was on the phone, he sat down in the chair in front of Mac's desk.
"Okay, so the fight leaves at 1100 hours.Okay, that's fine thank you," Mac puts the phone back in the cradle, and turns to take the bag from Harm.
"Not even a thank you."
"Harm, I'm starving. I thought you would know not to get in the way of a Marine when she's hungry."
Harm just laughed. He loved the fact that they were back to teasing each other again. He missed the friendly teasing that they shared.
"So what have you gotten done while I was away?"
"Well as you heard, I have the tickets booked. I also have a car rented and I have accommodations, but there was a slight problem: with the reunion, the hotel only had one room left."
"Don't worry about it, Mac, it's not like we haven't shared tight quarters before. But this time, can you bring pyjamas?"
Mac smiled at the memory. She couldn't remember another time when she had seen Harm blush. For the next half-hour they talked through all the details of the trip.
"So, I'll come over to your place at 0700, go for a run, then we meet back at your place at 0900, and take my SUV to the airport."
"Wouldn't it be easier if you just brought your stuff over with you when we go for our run? You can have a shower and change at my apartment."
"Okay then, I better get back to work, since for once I'm in the good books."
"I'll talk to you later, Harmful Rabb."
Harm glared at her, "Funny Marine, real funny."
Mac was trying not to bust out laughing. The look on his face was priceless.
"I thought so," Harm tried to look mad, but he could never stay mad at her and when she smiled at him like that it always made his heart melt. "Well, I'm going back to my office were I won't be insulted."
"See you later, Harm."
"Talk to you later, Mac. That is if you're not going to insult me some more."
"I'll think about it."
Harm stood up and left Mac's office. When Harm was out of earshot, Mac sighed, "This is definitely going to be an interesting reunion."
1830 ZULU JAG Headquarters Falls Church, Virginia
Harm just came out of his office and was about to head home, when he saw the light on in Mac's office. He walked over and knocked on the door then entered.
"Hi Mac are you heading home"
"I thought you were gone and yes I'm about to head home now"
"I'll walk you to your car"
"Just let me get my briefcase and cover" Mac grabbed her briefcase then her cover" Alright Harm lets go"
They walked to Mac's car in a comfortable silence. When they reached Mac's car, Harm held the door open for her while she got in.
"So I'll see you tomorrow"
"0700, don't be late Flyboy"
Harm smiled at the use of his nickname. "I wouldn't dream of being late Ninja girl"
Mac smiled. It was the first time she had heard him call her that in along time. Finally their friendship was back on track.
0700 ZULU Mac's apartment
Georgetown, DC
Harm knocked on the door of Mac's apartment.
"The door is open, Harm."
Harm opened the door and walked in "Hey Mac you ready"
"I'm a marine, I'm always ready. But are you ready to get your butt whipped" And what a cute butt it is Mac thought
"Sorry to disappoint, but there is no way you're going to whip my butt, as you put it."
"Sorry, you're right."
Harm's mouth just dropped. "Did you just agree with me"?
Mac smiled at him "Would kick your six be better"
Harm smiled at her. Now there's my Marine. Harm thought to himself "Care to make a bet on that"
"Okay. Loser makes breakfast and gets the shower second. Do we have a deal Harm"
"Deal. Let's go."
"So, Flyboy, what are you going to make me for breakfast?"
"In your dreams, Marine, I'm not going to lose."
"We'll see, Squid."
Harm and Mac headed out the door.
0800 ZULU Mac's apartment
Georgetown, DC
Mac was running up the stairs with Harm on her heels. With an extra burst of energy Mac pulled away from Harm and grabbed the handle of her door.
"I told you I would kick your six Flyboy."
Harm was completely out of breath; he didn't have the energy to answer her back. "Next time we go on a run, I'll have a tank of oxygen with me, for you Harm"
"Cute, real cute, Marine" Mac smiled and turned to the door. When she had opened the door she turned back to Harm. "Alright, Flyboy, I'm hungry, so in you go and make me my breakfast."
"Aye, Aye, Ma'am," Harm gave Mac a mock salute before entering her apartment.
Mac just shook her head. Harm headed straight for the kitchen, while Mac headed for the shower. Harm quickly went about preparing breakfast. Knowing Mac like he did, he knew she would be ready in 20 minutes-max.
When Mac came out of her bedroom, a mouth-watering aroma came from the kitchen and assaulted her senses.
"Harm, are you cooking meat?"
"Well, there's not much else in your fridge beside left over take-out."
Mac walked into the kitchen to see exactly what Harm was cooking. On the table there was a plate full of bacon, sausages, fried eggs and toast.
"Someone was busy."
"You eat up, I'm going to shower."
"Harm, aren't you going to have something?"
"First off, I refuse to eat animal flesh and grease, and I had some toast and egg. Just don't drink all the coffee while I'm in the shower," Harm gave Mac his flyboy smile before leaving the kitchen.
"I'm not promising anything!" Harm heard Mac shout.
"Marines."
Mac just grinned.
Harm walked out of Mac's room and walked around to the kitchen. He could hear the radio playing. When he walked into the kitchen Mac had her back to him. She was dancing and singing to the song on the radio. It had been along time since he had seen her so relaxed, so alive. He listened to the words of the song as Mac sang them:
It doesn't take much to learn When the bridges that you burn Leave you stranded feeling alone It doesn't take much to cry When you're living in a lie And deceiving that someone who cares If I could turn back time I would put you first in my life
And I would risk it all for you To prove my love is true I built a wall around my heart That would only break for you Can't change the way I feel So tell me what's the deal Don't say it's too late
And now, the hills are Getting hard to climb I'm running out of time My decisions are pending on you And I will accept the blame For burning out the flame Hoping the story will twist again If I could turn back time I would put you first in my life
And I would risk it all for you To prove my love is true I built a wall around my heart That would only break for you Can't change the way I feel So tell me what's the deal Don't say it's too late
Now I'm laying it all On the line for you And I would risk it all for you To prove my love is true I built a wall around my heart That would only break for you Can't change the way I feel So tell me what's the deal Don't say it's too late
The words of the song hit a nerve in Harm. As he listened to the words, he wondered what his relationship with Mac would have been like if he hadn't left to fly again. And he was sure that if he could turn back time, he would have never gone back flying and he would have told Mac how much she meant to him. Now he was wondering if it was to late.
"Hey, Harm.HARM!"
Harm was quickly brought back to reality by Mac shouting his name "Sorry. Did you say something?"
"Where were you?"
"Sorry, I got lost in thought."
"Listen we better hit the road. We don't want to get stuck in traffic and miss our flight."
"Okay, let me grab a cup of coffee, then we'll go. You did leave me some coffee?"
"Yes, I left you coffee."
Harm poured himself a cup and took a sip. Almost immediately, he started coughing.
"I guess I should have told you I made the coffee a bit stronger."
"A bit stronger? Did you put 3 jars of coffee in it?"
"It's not my fault if squids can only handle weak coffee."
"There's a difference between normal coffee and your coffee."
"Oh and what would that be" Mac asked. Trying not to laugh. The face on Harm when he drank the coffee was priceless.
" Your coffee could be use as motor oil," Harm went over to the fridge and grab a bottle of water.
"Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee at the airport" Mac grabbed her bag, while Harm held the door open for her.
As they were getting into the car, Harm thought to himself, ^Maybe this weekend I can find out if it's too late^
End of Part 2
I'll have part three out as soon as I can.
The song is sung by Westlife taken off there new abulm World of there Own.
