"We're back with Marine Colonel Sarah Mackenzie. If you're just joining us today's topic is Guys: Can they ever be just friends? Before the break we spoke with one of Sarah's closest friends Lieutenant Harriet Sims. Our next guest says things are never as complicated as Harm and Mac make them about to be. Come on out Admiral AJ Chegwidden."
The Admiral made his way out onto the stage taking a seat next to Harriet. Several of the women in audience smiled. He wasn't that bad looking.
"Sorry ladies I'm already taken." This caused a chorus of laughter throughout the audience.
"So Admiral you've known Harm and Mac as long as they've known each other?"
"That's correct. I told them from day one not to get too close to each other but I can see that order was not followed." The audience laughed.
"You say the order was not followed in what ways."
"There are so many. Let's just say they caused more than a few headaches at JAG.
Since day one I knew these two would be trouble. It's a good thing I don't have any hair left cause if I did I would have torn it all out by now."
The host laughed.
"So Admiral have there been any lingering tensions between the two in the office?"
"Tensions? Too many to count. The sexual tension in the office has ben mounting for well over six years and there have been times where the whole office has been high alert. This basically means no one goes withing ten feet of either the colonel or the commander. Go help you if you do. I think Lieutenant Sims has been the only brave soul on several occasion always trying to make peace. I have to say one of the most clear cut examples of love and devotion was the Commander's change of designator. Harm's childhood dream was o be a Tomcat pilot like his father had been. That dream was taken away from him abruptly. When he found out he could fly again he jumped at the chance. The funny thing is you would think being given a dream back would make someone happy but less than half a year later I had the Commander begging to come back to JAG. We all knew why. It wasn't that he didn't love flying, it's that he loved Mac more."
Mac's breath caught. She felt horrible. When Harm had left it had hurt her more than anything ever had. When he came back instead of being glad she had still held a grudge against him never truly wanting to rekindle the friendship they had before he left. She never thought that he had come back because of her. If she had known that things would have turned out very differently.
"You said before things aren't as complicated as they seem. What do you mean by that?"
"The biggest road block in both Harm and Mac's minds is their careers. They feel by starting a relationship they will have to sacrifice their careers. I can tell this is not true and I'm sure Lieutenant Sims can testify to that fact. Life is short. You should always seize every opportunity. Isn't it interesting that no relationship the Colonel or the Commander ever had with anyone else has ever worked out? That's because they are meant to be together."
"Thank you Admiral. Our next guest says that He knows for certain it's love. How does he know? Well Mac told him of course."
