"Remote Control"
Summary: Mattie and Jenn can't agree what to watch on TV.Note: This story has been sitting in the idea pile for a while. It's evolved a bit from my original version, but I hope you like it. Thanks for the quick reviews Mia, Hide-N-Seeker424, KJFlygirl87, and Navy Babe!

"What's going on in here?" Harm demanded as he rushed into the girls' apartment. Both Mattie and Jenn were on the living room floor, wrestling for control of some small object. At the sudden appearance of their parental figure, both girls stopped their struggle, but neither relinquished their hold on the item.
Harm held out his hand until Jennifer finally let go, allowing Mattie to hand the contraption to her guardian. He looked at it and asked, "A remote control?"
Neither girl would look him in the eye.
"I didn't want to watch some home improvement show, and she wouldn't change the channel," Mattie grumbled, rubbing her arm where it had hit the leg of the coffee table.
"I was here first," Jenn snapped back as best she could with a fat lip from her roommate's elbow.
Harm sighed, shaking his head. "I'll call and cancel the cable until you two can learn to share."
