AN:By the way I forgot to tell you the time line of this story. It takes place during season 8 after Family business when they get rid of Lt. Singer. This story ignores everything after that.

Harm was sitting in his apartment playing his guitar when there was a knock on the door. "I'm coming." He said as he went to open his door. He opened it to find an old friend of his standing on the other side of the door.
"Hey Harm." The man on the other side said.
"Robert James, what are you doing here?" Harm asked, he was completely taken aback by the fact that his old childhood friend was standing outside his door.
"It's good to see you too Harmon." Bobby said sarcastically. "Aren't you going to let me in?"

Harm opened the door wide enough for Bobby to get through. Harm had not seen or heard from his old friend in nearly twenty-eight years. To say that Harm was surprised to see Bobby would be an understatement. Shortly after their conversation out in the field next to an air strip Bobby and his family had moved away and the two young boys, now men, lost contact with one another.

"Well it's good to see you I just never thought I'd see Bobby James standing in front of my door. Do you want something to drink?" Harm asked his guest.

"No I'm fine," Bobby said as he sat down on the couch.
"So how has your life been Bobby?" Harm said as he walked out of the kitchen and sat down in a chair across from Bobby.
"It's been pretty good Harm. I even got married. What about you Harm?" Bobby said sitting down on Harm's sofa.
"It's been as well as can be expected. After the Academy I became a pilot like I said I would."
"That's great. So ,has any woman been able to tame the infamous Harmon Rabb Jr.?"
"Not yet.." Harm asked Bobby.
"What about you, Robert, how has life treated you?"
"Well I am married to a wonderful woman. We have eight year old twins and two dogs."
"Did you become a director or what? I haven't seen your name on any movies lately." Harm teased.
"No, Harm, I didn't. I fly commercial airplanes. But, I am pretty wealthy."
"No need to be modest Bobby." Harm joked.
"Anyway, after college I bought some stock. Turns out the company did really well so I sold half of my stock options and bought some more stock."
"So you invest your money. I should do that too." Harm said.
"You should. Enough about my life, I came to see how you've been doing. You're a hard man to track down Rabb."
"Well I'm still in the Navy, but I don't fly anymore. I crashed into the flight deck one night killing my RIO. After that the doctors told me I suffered from night blindness. So afterwards I went to law school and now I work at JAG. About eight years after the accident I found out I only had blurry vision that was fixed with laser eye surgery."
"Did you go back to flying?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah I did. I was too old; the other pilots gave me the call-sign Pappy." Harm laughed.
"How old were you?"
"Thirty-five."
"Oh so that wasn't too long ago then was it?" Bobby said.
"Two years ago. I still fly though. Last May I did my six month quals out on a carrier. I also decided to dump the F-14 into the water."
"How did you do that Harm?"
"I was trying to get back in time for my best friend's wedding. There was a storm but, me being me; I thought I could make it. It didn't work out. My RIO and I had to punch out. I almost died of hypothermia."
"I take it you didn't make it to the wedding?"
"Her fiancé canceled the wedding indefinitely." Harm said.
"Oh wow. Wait a minuet, this friend is a woman?"
"Yes, we work together at JAG. We have for a while now."
"Okay I think I see where this is headed. Your best friend, who happens to be a female, is engaged. You try to make it back to her wedding. You crash and your friend is devastated. So your friend's fiancé cancels the wedding. Think that a four letter word is involved in here somewhere." Bobby concluded.

"Believe what ever you want to Bobby."

"Oh, I am. You know Harm you should really come over to the house some time. I think it would be good for you to see what you're missing by just sitting by as your "friend" goes on with her life." Bobby said.

"I know very well what I'm missing out on and I am getting on with my life." Harm stated.

"Uh huh. I see that your getting on very nicely it's Saturday night and you are sitting here home alone. You really are moving on." Bobby said.

"If you're going to criticize me about my life decisions you can leave Bobby." Harm said seriously.

"Look Harm I didn't mean to criticize you. What I meant was that I think it would be nice if you came over for a visit. Maybe when you meet my wife Alex she can think of one of her many single friends to set you up with." Bobby said with a smile on his face.

"You're going to try and set me up?" Harm questioned. He did not like the idea of going out on a blind date besides he knew very well who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. There was just the problem of finding a way to tell her.

"Why not? It will be good for you and I know you'd have fun." Bobby said.

"Fine I'll come over in two weeks. I've got something to do next week so I'll see you then." Harm said as he got up.

Following his actions Bobby said, "Here is my address and phone number if you need to get in contact with me."

"It was nice seeing you again," Harm said as he ushered Bobby to the door.

"Same goes for you Rabb. I'll see you soon. Good night Harm," Bobby said as he walked out the door.

Harm closed the door and went to bed the whole night dreaming of "his marine."
