Subject: HBX Challenge-March 2008- Water Fun

Disclaimer: I Don’t Own ‘Em.

Author’s Note: This just came to me out of nowhere earlier today. I have taken some liberties with this, No Mattie, Harriet and Bud don’t have any children other than AJ, and Harm was promoted to Captain earlier for the sake of this story. If I missed anything, I’m sorry.

Thanks to Nettie for beta-ing this, you’re awesome!



Harm: I know this changes things Captain.
Doesn't mean that one day we can't mend fences.
Captain Hochausen: Yes it does


The hot August sun shines bright as Sarah MacKenzie hides behind a corner of the Roberts' home.

Harriet and Bud wanted to spend some alone time so she jumped at the chance to spend some time in the sun with AJ.

Harm had shown up a few minutes after Harriet and Bud had left, bringing with him all sorts of things for a day full of water fun. Squirt guns, water balloons, you name it, he probably had it.

So now here she was; half soaked, hiding behind a corner preparing to attack Harm.

He wouldn't know what hit him. All she had to do was sneak up on him and drench him in water, Piece of cake!

Mac starts to pull her plan together:

1…She checks her water guns; one full, and one half full.

2…She admires the way he looks in his damp white tank top and blue swim trunks which now cling to his muscled form..

3…She watches his muscles move and the way his skin glistens in the sunlight. She wonders what those muscles would feel like under her hands and her lips. She wants to be that solitary drop of water, which is now making its way down his chest and under his tank top.

Hmmm, change of plans. Instead of attacking him with water, she'll attack him with her kisses and her hands and h- Smack!

The water balloon hits the back of her head and the coolness of the water makes its way down her spine. The water feels great on her heated skin that has nothing to do with the weather and everything to do with the man who is a few feet away.

She turns around and sees AJ giving her his biggest grin. She should be mad at him since he is on her team but he just saved her from what could have been an embarrassing moment.

She'd play mad anyways.

"Traitor!" she yells and starts squirting him with water. He takes off towards Harm, laughing the whole way.

He hides behind Harm once he reaches him and glances at her from behind his legs.

Harm flashes a beautiful smile as AJ grabs hold of his legs.

"AJ, why don't you go get Uncle Harm his towel?" she suggests and he runs off.

Plan B sounds like a great option now.

She puts down her guns and pulls off her white tank top as a white flag of sorts, revealing the bikini top underneath and approaches Harm. His eyes make their way over her body and she goes up in flames.

"Sailor, since you have turned my godson against me, I think you should be punished." She takes advantage of his staring and gets as close to him as possible. She runs her hands up his chest, over the hard muscles and his breath catches.

"I know this changes things, Colonel, but it doesn't mean that one day we can't mend fences."

"Uh huh," she whispers before her lips crash against his lips.

He deepens the kiss and a second later she pulls away. She gives him a devious smile and pushes him into the cold water of the swimming pool behind him.

"Yes it does, Captain," she grins before walking away.
