Summary: The game show hijinks continue as Sturgis and Bobbie Latham go on Win Lose or Draw, and find out how well they can interpret each other!

Wednesday Midday

JAG Headquarters

"Are you ready for lunch, Sturgis?" Bobbie said as she breezed into his office.

"Yes!" he exclaimed. "I really need a break right about now."

They left the building arm in arm. Bobbie drove them to a quiet Italian cafe.

"So when was the last time you took an actual vacation, Sturgis?" Bobbie asked over their salads.

He paused to think. "Probably right before I came to JAG. Why?"

"Just as I suspected. You, like all the rest of the people at that place, are workaholics." She wrinkled her nose in distaste.

"And you propose to do something about that?" Sturgis grinned at Bobbie.

"Well, not for your co-workers, but for you. For us." She smiled slowly, wickedly.

"When you get that look on your face, I start getting shivers up my spine."

"Don't you worry about anything." She finished her salad. "Let's go back. I have a meeting with the Admiral."

"Now I'm really beginning to get scared," Sturgis joked as they paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Back at JAG Headquarters, Bobbie disappeared into the Admiral's office. Just when Sturgis was wondering what exactly she was planning, Tiner appeared in his doorway.

"The Admiral would like to see you now, sir."

"Thanks, Tiner." He followed him into the office.

"Sir?"

The Admiral looked up. "Have a seat, Commander Turner."

He took the chair next to Bobbie.

"Congresswoman Latham has reminded me you have yet to take a vacation, and you've been with us for nearly two years. Effective Friday afternoon, you're on leave. I don't want to see you back here for two weeks."

Sturgis was dumbfounded. "But, sir? What about my cases?"

"Commander Rabb and Lieutenant Roberts will handle them." He smiled at Bobbie and Sturgis. "Enjoy your leave."

They left the Admiral's office.

"So what do you have planned for our big vacation, Bobbie?"

She winked at him. "How do you feel about a trip to Hollywood?"

Saturday Morning

Bobbie's Apartment

Bobbie heard the knock and opened the door. Sturgis stood in her doorway, suitcase in hand.

"Don't act like you're on your way to Death Row." She smacked him playfully. "Come on in, we've got fifteen minutes before the car will be here to take us to the airport." She headed back to the bedroom to finish packing.

Before long, the car had arrived, and their vacation began.

"So, Bobbie," Sturgis turned toward her, "Why a game show?"

"I thought it would be a fun bonding experience for us," she explained. "And, believe it or not, we're classified as 'celebrities.'"

Sturgis laughed. "Really?" They continued joking through check-in at the airport and on their flight to California.

Monday Morning

Television Studio, Hollywood, California

After a day and a half of sightseeing, Bobbie and Sturgis were ready to begin their game show adventure. They arrived at the studio and went through make up. Finally, they were ready to go out on stage.

The announcer introduced the host, Bert Convy, and the celebrities and contestants came out. Bert walked over to Bobbie and Sturgis and asked them to tell a little bit about themselves.

"I'm Bobbie Latham, Congresswoman from the great state of Michigan." She smiled at the cheers from Michigan natives in the studio audience.

Now it was Sturgis' turn. "I'm Sturgis Turner, a Commander with the Navy's JAG Corps. Before that, I served on submarines."

They were paired with a young woman from Dallas, Texas. Their celebrity opponents were Rudy Boesch from Survivor and Mark Valley, an actor who also was a West Point graduate. Their "civilian" contestant was a man from Arkansas.

Bobbie and Sturgis' team went first. They decided to have Bobbie draw first. She walked up to the white board. Bert handed her the card with the phrase her teammates had to guess. Her eyes widened as she read, "Strange Bedfellows". How was she going to draw this?

Then she smiled as she got an idea. She started drawing, and her teammates began tossing out guesses.

"Square." "Square peg." "Bed."

She started adding to the bed sketch. First she drew a man and a woman.

"Lovers." "Sleeping with the enemy."

Time was running out. She added a few more details to the drawing, a Marine hat on the woman and a Navy hat and wings on the man.

Sturgis shouted, "Strange bedfellows!"

Bert Convy looked surprised. "That's right, how did you get that correct."

Sturgis tried to think of an answer that wouldn't expose his colleagues. Bobbie came to his rescue.

"You know the rivalry between Navy and Marines, don't you, Burt? So the last thing you'd expect would be to see Marines and Navy in bed together."

"Ahhh, I see." Bert didn't sound entirely convinced. "Anyway, now it's time for Rudy's team to go."

They decided to let Mark do the drawing. He strolled up to the board. He looked at the card and began sketching.

The guesses flew, but no one got it right. When time expired, Bobbie and Sturgis' team had a chance to guess and they got it right. Mark had drawn a beach chair with a whale sitting on it. "Beached whale."

"We're going to break for a commercial," Bert Convy said, "When we return, one more round and then on the final round."

"And welcome back to Win, Lose or Draw," the announcer said.

"Currently, Bobbie Latham's team is in the lead with $300," Bert Convy said, "but it's still anyone's game. Mark, since your team is behind, you get to go first in this round."

They decided to let Rudy draw this time. He got up there and began to sketch. First he drew a four-leaf clover and his teammates began blurting guesses.

"Shamrock." "Blarney." "Luck of the Irish."

He shook his head and kept drawing. He drew a rear view of a person, obviously nude. They kept guessing, but still didn't get it. Finally, he drew arrows behind the naked person, making it look as if it were moving.

Mark got it at last. "Lucky streak!"

Everyone had a good laugh at that one.

Bert turned to Bobbie. "It's down to you now. If you get it correct, then you move on to the final round. If the other team guesses it, we'll have a tiebreaker. Who's going to draw this time?"

"I will." Sturgis stood up and walked to the board. Bert handed him the card with the phrase he needed to express in pictures. He nearly laughed when he read it. "Sub zero."

He started drawing right away, quickly outlining a submarine on the board. "Submarine." "Alec Baldwin." That came from Bobbie.

He continued sketching, now adding icicles to the submarine. "Cold sub?" The time was ticking down to when the other team would get a guess. He kept circling the icicles, emphasizing them.

Their civilian teammate got the answer right before time expired. "Sub zero!"

"Good job, and with that, your team advances to the final round."

In the final round, one player had to draw as many pictures in 90 seconds. For each correctly guessed phrase, the contestant would receive $1,000. Their teammate, Susan, got up to start drawing. In the ninety second time limit, they were able to get five correct, winning her $5,000.

After the show, Bobbie and Sturgis left the studio.

"Did you have fun?" Bobbie asked.

"Actually, I did." Sturgis responded.

"But you're ready for the rest of the vacation to begin?"

Sturgis said, "Well … yes."

"So I'm guessing you don't want to try to get tickets for The Price is Right, then?" she teased.

"No!!"
