Livin' the High Life
*Chapter 7*
Mac's plane left at 16:00h, so Harm had some time to kill before Bud, Tiner, Sturgis and the Admiral's plane came in at 19:45h. Gunny decided to come along for the ride to the airport to see Mac and Chloe off.
While Harm, Gunny and Clark were at the grocery store, Gunny went off in search of tofu burgers (at Harm's request). As soon as Gunny was out of sight, Clark tugged on the edge of Harm's shirt.
"Daddy, I don't like that man", Clark said as he checked to see if Gunny was back.
"Why not Clark?" Harm asked his son.
"Cuz, he scawy daddy", Clark answered as he wiped his tears and nose in Harm's shirt.
"Gunny won't hurt you son, he's daddy and mommy's friend", Harm quickly assured him. "Plus, he's a Marine, so he'd rather scare big people instead of you", Harm added as Gunny came back with the tofu and a silly grin on his face.
Harm gave Gunny an odd look. "I got a date for Friday night", Gunny explained.
"Do you care to elaborate?" Harm asked Gunny.
"No", was all Gunny said as they reached the checkout.
After they had completed their grocery shopping, Harm, Gunny and Clark went to pick up the DC Crew.
The DC Crew is the nickname Mac gave to everyone that works at the Falls Church JAG office. She explained that it was easier to say that rather than list all their names.
They all came off the plane first. They were all in a group. They were all in their civies and were strutting their stuff as they emerged from the gate.
"Pimp juice, ooooh ooh oh who", Gunny sang as he saw them.
"What was that Gunnery Sergeant Galendiz?" the Admiral inquired.
"Oh, I just thought it was funny how you all think that you're hot stuff", Gunny answered as he started to laugh uncontrollably. "And its Major Galendiz to you", he corrected the Admiral after he finally was able to stifle his laughter.
Everyone piled into the taxi-van Harm rented for the evening. Clark sat in the back between Sturgis and Harm.
"So, Tiner, how's it with Jennifer?" Harm asked. He knew he was probably out of the loop so he wanted to be involved fully with everything.
"Its okay, but." Tiner answered.
"Spill it, Gunny demanded as he cut off Tiner.
"Its just that before I proposed, everything was all happy and we were having fun, now it just feels like the romance has cooled down", Tiner explained. Harm knew what Tiner meant.
"Tell me about it, since Clark came along, we barely do it more than once a week", Harm commented as he covered up Clark's ears.
"I did SO not need to hear that", the Admiral said with a look of disgust on his face.
Everyone was still laughing (except for Clark who was just plain confused) when they reached Pizza Hut. They were going to have dinner there because there was a special hockey night. The Vancouver Canucks were playing the Pittsburgh Penguins. The people of Seattle adopted the Canucks as their hockey team and since the Penguins were doing so poorly, they were all rooting for the Canucks.
When the waitress came to take our orders she almost died when she saw Gunny. She stammered and stuttered when she took our orders. But Gunny just smiled politely.
"Hey, how does it feel to be a stud muffin?" Bud asked playfully.
"Now that I'm off the market, he's getting all the action, you should have seen him at the grocery store today", Harm told the others.
"Action my butt", the Admiral commented. "Mac is right, you do have an ego", he continued while Harm did the whole dagger to the heart routine.
A couple of minutes later, the Canucks scored and the whole restaurant cheered loudly. Clark wasn't quite sure what the commotion was about but he decided to go with the flow and cheered louder than anyone there.
Finally, their food had arrived and the waitress nearly dumped their pizzas on the Admiral's lap. He just rolled his eyes.
"So, how's it going with you and Mac, I mean besides what you told us earlier?" Sturgis asked.
"Oh you know, its okay", Harm answered reluctantly. He failed to mention the little incident a couple of weeks before.
*****
Harm rented a plane for the evening because Sarah was too small to take everyone up all at once. The guy who he rented it from had a private airstrip next to Boeing field.
It was a closed cockpit nine seater, which was better because you wouldn't have to wear a jacket. Harm didn't tell Mac about renting the plane because she would have a conniption if she knew that he took Clark flying.
Harm showed them all the sights of Seattle. Boeing field, the Space Needle and everything else. The lights made a nice contrast against the night sky.
After the flight was over, they all went back to Harm's place to spend the night. "Nice house", Tiner commented as they pulled into the driveway.
"Thanks, maybe one day Jennifer and you will have a house like this", Harm commented.
"I hope so", Tiner answered hopefully.
After they went put Clark to bed, they all stayed up late watching movies before going to sleep on various couches and beds throughout the house.
TBC! OMG, Sorry it took so long. I had so much Drama memorization to do. I also had a dress rehersal and I did so bad. I hope this was long enough Sancti! GO CANUCKS GO!
