part four
Question ten: “For five points, How many times have you seen a movie together?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them. They both laughed once again.
“Let’s see, we touched on this subject earlier when we talked about how many times we dated. I believe we all agree that it included times we went to the theater and how many times we rented a movie and viewed it at either one of our places.” pondered Sarah.
“It’s amazing to see the range of how often people think we view movies together.” smiled Harm.
“Yeah, from a low of eight by Harriet to a high of one hundred by Jen.” agreed Sarah.
“I guess we’ll have to give it to Jen then, she was the closest.” smiled Harm.
“How many movies have you seen together?” asked Bobbie who had been quite stunned. She had always suspected there was a connection between the two, but she never thought they were involved to this level.
“We probably have gone out and seen about sixty movies over the years, but we have probably stayed in and seen closer to two hundred and fifty.” replied Sarah.
“It would have been more, but we didn’t spend as much time together watching movie during the Mic/Renee era. They were pretty possessive.” added Harm.
“And they didn’t like the other of us.” added Sarah.
“Wow! That’s incredible. Between the movies and dancing that’s a lot of time you’ve spent together.” marveled Jennifer.
“It’s amazing that they got any work done at all.” mumbled the Admiral.
“And they’re your best AJ.” smiled Webb. “Maybe you ought to have your other lawyers spend more time together.”
“Not realistic Webb, most of the others are either married or involved with someone else.” snarled the Admiral at Webb.
Question eleven: “For five points, How many times have you had dinner together?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
All Sarah could do was shake her head. How little these people really knew them. It was interesting that people like Jack and Jen who didn’t know them that well, knew them better than their closest friends.
“What’s the matter Sarah? Are we really that far off?” asked Caroline.
“Well considering how many times Harm and I go away on investigations and how many times we work late after work together, these are very low numbers.” replied Sarah.
“I mean Harriet, come on. You put down one hundred times Harm and I have had dinner together. We’ve had dinner at your house alone almost a hundred times.
Bud picking three hundred is much closer, but still quite low considering he’s been on a lot of investigations with us the first few years he was here.” moaned Sarah.
“Who came up with the closest answer then?” asked Meredith.
“The Admiral with three hundred seventy times.” replied Harm.
“Considering how many times we have admitted to dancing and seeing movies, that number is quite low.” sighed Sarah.
“I find it hard to believe it very low.” argued Sturgis.
“Well considering we’ve worked together for seven years except for the six months Harm was away flying and my three months TDA on the Guadalcanal.” paused Sarah.
“Let’s just say we have had dinner together well over a thousand times and move on.” finished Harm who was getting a little tired.
“That’s over three times a week. How’s it possible with the time away and other relationships?” asked Bobbie.
“Investigations, working late on cases, and the need to spend time together are why we’re so good in the courtroom and why our relationships with other people don’t last.” sighed Sarah.
“Hell, everyone keeps saying we should be together.” added Harm whimsy.
Question twelve: “For five points, How many meals have you shared together?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
“You know Sarah, I kind of wonder why we should be giving anyone any points. I mean here we are sitting with a group of people who are our friends, who say they know who we are, who say we should be together, but looking at some of their answers, I’m beginning to wonder.” stated Harm shaking his head.
“I know what you mean Harm. Carolyn is the only one who has given us one good answer and she been coming and going from JAG several times over the years. I’m particularly disappointed in Harriet.
She has always given me the impression that she watches what we do like a hawk, reporting to everyone what she sees us do, and yet she seems to know nothing at all.” sighed Sarah.
“You mean like Sgt Schultz on Hogan’s Heroes.” smiled Harm.
“Yeah that’s the show.” replied Sarah. “Well maybe they really weren’t as interested in your private lives as you thought.” sneered Bobbie.
“Then why are we doing here Bobbie, why are we taking the time to answer all these questions?” asked Sarah.
“Enough with the chit chat, who was the closest?” asked Webb.
“For some unknown reason you are Webb with a guess of seven hundred and fifty.” replied Sarah.
“How did you do it Webb? I thought you were always out of town creating problems.” laughed Jack.
“Well it’s like they’ve said right along, they work a lot of cases together. They do go on a lot of investigations, I figured like the rest of you that they like being with each other.” replied Webb,
“So how many meals have you really eaten together Commander?” asked Jennifer.
“Let’s see, three meals a day times thirty days in a month times seventy five months equals sixty four hundred fifty meals.
I would hazard to guess we have had at least thirty two hundred meals together.” replied Harm looking at all the confused and stunned faces.
“What! ..... We’re partners. We usually eat lunch together due to our schedules. We’re away together twenty to twenty five percent of the time on investigations.
We work late together on cases. Why do you think we win all the time.” replied Harm as he shook his head. It adds up after awhile.
Question thirteen: “For five points, When was the first time you shared a kiss?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
Sarah smiled as she saw for only the second time today that someone knew the answer.
“Well since the person guess the correct answer, I think he should get ten points.”
“I agree Sarah, a correct answer should be worth more.” said Harm.
“Who knew when the first time you share a kiss?” asked Harriet.
“Bud had the right answer Harriet. After all he was there when we kissed the first time.” smiled Sarah.
“What! How come you didn’t tell me Bud? You know how important it is to all of us at JAG.” yelled Harriet at Bud.
“Huh? ..... What sweetie? I wasn’t paying attention.” stuttered Bud as he tried to play dumb.
“How come you didn’t tell me that the Commander and Colonel had shared a kiss?” asked Harriet again. Everyone laughed at the familiar sight of Harriet chewing out Bud. They always referred to it as a doofus moment.
“It was so long ago Harriet. It was before we were married. A man had been killed falling off a pier. I had to run and get help. Telling you about them kissing was the last thing on my mind that night.” replied Bud nervously.
“Besides I don’t like to encourage you with your obsession.” He hated it when Harriet was mad at him.
“It seems like you were around for a lot of their firsts.” smiled Sturgis.
“So when did this happen Lieutenant?” bellowed the Admiral.
“It was the night the Colonel came into JAG soaking wet. She was trying to figure out where the Commander went. We figured out he went to Norfolk to confront Lieutenant Shonke’s killer.” replied Bud.
“It was a rainy night. I was reading over some old letters I had written to Diane over the years. I came across a draft of a letter Diane had sent to Commander Hobart. I had missed it several years ago.
As I was getting ready to leave Sarah showed up. I told her the story about how Diane died. She figured out in two hours what had taken me more than two years to figure out, who killed Diane.
I managed to trick her to get her out of my car before I headed to Norfolk.” sighed Harm.
“He left me out in the rain. All of my stuff was in his apartment which he had locked. I had to hotwire my jeep to get it to start.
When I got to JAG I was soaked to the skin. Bud lent me one of Harriet’s uniforms. By the time we got to Norfolk it had stopped raining. I saw Harm talking to Commander Hobart.
When I yelled out Harm, Hobart saw me and stumbled backwards, falling off the pier. He was crushed to death between the ship and the dock. When Harm turned around to look at me, he had a strange look on his face.
He began mumbling something to me before he lean down to kiss me. But he wasn’t really kissing me. He was kissing Diane.” moaned Sarah. It had been a great kiss. She only wished it was her Harm had been kissing.
“I know I didn’t say anything to you that night Sarah, but what makes you think I was kissing Diane and not you. After all I was thanking you for being there and preventing me from possibly doing something stupid.” asked Harm.
Everyone was watching them closely. They were witnessing a Hallmark moment between Harm and Sarah. They had all wondered what such a moment would be like. Would it be as beautiful as they had imagined.
“I know you saw her when you were looking at me. I was dress in a Navy uniform. You had to be seeing her. You had to be kissing her.” replied Sarah softly with a pained look.
“The only time I ever thought I saw Diane when I looked at you was the day we met in the rose garden. You looked so beautiful, even in those drab olive green uniform. The only thing I thought at that time was, I have another chance to be happy.
I have never confused you with being Diane. I wasn’t kissing Diane that night. I was kissing you. I knew it was you, not Diane. Diane became a distance memory shortly after I met you. Especially when you almost kissed me in Colombia.
I had been waiting for the opportunity ever since to kiss you, to tell you how special you were. But when you thought I was kissing Diane, I thought you weren’t ready yet to have a relationship with me.
As Bud has mentioned before, you might look like Diane, but you are so much more. Diane was a good friend I went to the academy with. We never really clicked on an emotional level.
As you and I are famous for saying, she was just a friend. You have never been just a friend to me, Sarah. You are the one. You will always be the one. There is no one else.” Harm whispered at the end as he held her tightly.
It was all Sarah could do not to cry. She buried her head in Harm’s chest as everyone “Ooh! ....”
“So when did this all happen?” asked Bobbie after a few minutes.
“Early May 1998.” replied Bud.
Question fourteen: “For five points, What was the most significant kiss you both shared?” read Sarah. After everyone gave their answers Harm and Sarah looked closely at them.
“You know it’s pretty interesting Harm, with some of the answers that have been given here. I would never had guess anyone would have gotten it right.” smiled Sarah.
“How true, considering we have never given anyone an indication that we had ever kissed before.” agreed Harm.
“Come on guys, only an idiot would think that the two of you had never kissed before. I’ve only been around you two a couple of times. It’s not hard to tell that you both are in love.” whined Jack.
“Hey! Don’t talk that way about my wife. She worships the ground the Commander and Colonel walk on. She wants them to be as happy together as she and I are.” defended Bud.
“Sorry Bud, but I can’t believe anyone would have thought that they had never kiss.” replied Jack.
“That’s okay Sir, as much as everyone thinks that Bud is the doofus, I have my special moments too. I’m just a hopeless romantic and the Commander and Colonel are very special to us.” replied Harriet.
“It’s okay honey, I think they all understand.” assured Bud as he rubbed Harriet’s back.
“It doesn’t surprise any of us that know you Harriet. We have all thought that Bud was the smart one.” chuckled Carolyn.
“Enough with the chit chat. Who guess the right answer and when was the kiss?” urged Webb.
“Personally I would have thought more of you would have gotten it right.” began Harm.
“Yeah, considering most of you were there that night.” agreed Sarah.
“But as usual the person who guessed right wasn’t even in the country.” laughed Harm.
“You better not say Webb.” bellowed the Admiral.
“How did you guess Sir?” smiled Sarah.
“Webb? How in the world did he guess the right time?” asked Gunny.
“He’s the one who usually causes them problems.” agreed Jason.
“Well I want you all to think about the most defining time in their lives over the last few years. Personally I thought it was when Sarah was going to married the idiot from down under.
Sorry Sarah, I never could see what you saw in the man.” commented Webb.
“That’s okay Webb. Harm and I both agree it was his fault. Harm never like Mic. I always wondered why Harm didn’t fight for me.
But at the time all I could see was Harm really didn’t love me. I was ready to settle down and have a family, but Harm later told me he had already told me when he would be ready.” replied Sarah.
“He did Ma’am?” asked Harriet.
“Yes Harriet, the day little Aj was born. He asked me to go halves on a kid if we weren’t involve with anyone in five years.” smiled Sarah.
“What! Harm said that to you?” exclaimed Carolyn.
“Yes, her looks and my brains, or ....” started Harm.
“His looks and my brains.” continued Sarah.
“Either or would work out fine.” finished Harm.
“That’s all sweet, but when did the kiss take place?” asked Jack.
“I figured it had to be at her engagement party.” continued Webb.
“It had to be one of the last chances that Rabb had to stop Sarah from marrying the Aussie. I heard from several people, that they spent a lot of time alone together on the porch.
It had to be the time for Rabb to lay all his cards on the table. You know, used that incredible flyboy charm of his. I also figured he must have failed. Why else would he risk returning to Washington in the middle of a major storm.
He must have been trying to get back in time to stop Sarah.” finished Webb.
“You’re saying that they shared their most significant kiss on my back porch during her engagement party?” asked an amazed and stunned Admiral.
“Guilty as charge, though it hadn’t been my intention when I arrived at the engagement party. I had resigned myself to the fact Sarah was going to marry him. But once we got to talking, one thing led to another.” sighed Harm.
“And we found ourselves back to where all the problems started, Australia. We talked about it for awhile to figure out how it happened.” continued Sarah.
“I finally admitted to her that I had been in love with her for a long time.” sighed Harm.
“I thought it was too little too late, but when Harm’s plane crashed when he was trying to get back for me, I knew I couldn’t marry Mic. It hurt too much. I knew then I didn’t love Mic enough to marry him.
My love for Harm was all consuming. If Harm had died, I would have been devastated for a very long time. There wouldn’t have been any marriage to Mic. When Harm was found alive, Mic realized that I didn’t love him as much as I loved Harm. So he left.” smiled Sarah.
“How romantic! I knew something had to be going on. All you could think about that day was the Commander while you were having your wedding gown fitted.” exclaimed Harriet happily.
