Danger Zone:

Simone’s Notes:

The game of courtship between male and female has been for years. It dates back to the Garden of Eden. Courtship has a purpose. It is to help all species to reproduce. There are many ways to attract a mate. Some are painful. Others are powerful. But once attracted, the game of courtship begins. The results can be success or failure. But no matter the result, it all depends on how the game is played.

Nurse Anjia Vema Sarker walked around her old childhood friend, Roger Singh’s, lovely backyard garden. He was the son of a famous art dealer. Roger said that he had something important to talk to her about and that she should she meet him right on her break. Curious to know what the problem was, Anjia agreed to do so. She stopped and looked at the blooming wisteria flowers along the brown wire near the pearly white benches near the marble grey bird fountain. Their fragrance was so heavenly to her. Wisterias had always been her personal favorite since she was a little girl. She picked a couple of them and neatly placed them in her flowing black her. The nurse then walked over to the garden pond near the grape vines and looked in it. “Perfect!” she said to herself in satisfaction. “Isn’t it?” Anjia heard someone ask her. She quickly looked up and saw Roger.

Roger, or Rog as she called him, was standing in the garden entrance leaning against the white wire gate. He was a lovely man. His hair was black and short to his ears. Rog’s eyes were a sweet caramel brown and his skin was always a healthy tan. He had a nice manly figure, not too buff but yet not too skinny. The guy always wore sports/casual attire. Today, he had on a grey t-shirt and faded blue jeans shorts. Rog’s brown leather sandals completed his look. Anjia couldn’t help but stare at his manly legs. She felt her tan cheeks slowly redden. Even though she wouldn’t admit it to his face, she had always had a small crush on her friend. She would fantasize about him when she was sure that she was all alone. The woman even secretly was jealous of all of the women he dated. Many a time she was tempted to tell him how she really felt. But he was like a brother to her, so telling him her feelings would seem pretty awkward and destroy their friendship. “Yoo-hoo!” her pretty friend called out to get her attention. The nurse directed her focus back to the man. He was smiling innocently. “Uh… you wanted to talk me?” she managed to ask at last as her blush deepened. Rog’s face because serious. “Anjia,” he said strongly. “Come with me.” Then, he began walking farther into the garden. Curious, Anjia followed behind.

The pair came to the gazebo. This structure was old, big, and white. Vines were growing all over it. The friends used to play around it when they were younger. So many happy memories came with this old gazebo. Rog helped Anjia up the old creaky stairs. The nurse looked around. The old games that she and Rog used to play here came flooding back like an old river. “Okay Rog,” she said was a joking smile. “What is this all about? What is so urgent that you had to call me away from work?” She turned to see her old friend staring at her lovingly. His eyes were a glow as he admired the nurse tenderly. Anjia was a lovely woman. Her hair was a lovely long silky black. Light purple and pink srcunchies held it ponytails on either side of her head. Her curly black eyelashes were just as cute her dark hazel eyes. Her skin was a healthy tan just like his. Anjia had a well noticeable shapely body. Her curves were perfectly in the right place. The nurse’s breasts were a healthy normal size. Her legs were long and slender like a goddess’s. Anjia’s tan uniform completed her look in perfection. Rog almost had to slap himself in order to stay focused. “Well, here goes!” he thought. “What’s the worst that could happen?

“Will you marry me Anjia?” he asked aloud. His childhood best friend became shocked. “WHAT?!?” she asked aloud. This was like a huge bombshell to her. Never would such a question even have the notion to form in his mouth to any girl. “Rog?” Anjia spoke up again. “Is that you? Are you even in there? Why?” Rog tried to keep himself together. “Not for romantic reasons,” he began explain. “You see, before my mom died, she put the will that I can’t inherit this house and garden until I married. I’d rather died than to see this place go to the dogs under my father’s hands. So I figured with you, it’d be the safest bet. We’ve known each other for years and love the garden as much as me. So, will you marry me?” Anjia was frozen in shock at the whole moment. In a sense she wanted to do this, but in another sense… this was like her brother! But, she couldn’t let the garden go to ruin. Rog’s father cared more about money, booze, and women than he did a few flowers. But Rog was still like a brother to her! Still, she had dreamed of this moment since she was sixteen years old. What could she say to that?

Rog saw her face and decided to ease the tense some. “Don’t worry Anj,” he said. “We can still screw around with different people until we do marry.” Anjia was still in confused shock and could barely speak. She was clearly taking time to take in all of the information that her old friend said. He was clearly saying please marry me so I don’t end up homeless. His future all rode on one little answer of hers. All she could finally do was nod in weak excited agreement. “Yes, yes.” Anjia said at last in a small voice. A long pause passed. Then the newly engaged couple embraced each other wildly. “We’re getting married!” the young new couple called out in joy. This had turned into a victory for them both. “We’ll tell all of our friends!” Rog said in pride. “So,” Anjia said. “Shall we tell your father together?” “We must!” Rog exclaimed. “But I bet he will be pissed that he won’t get the house or the money!” “Yep!” his new fiancée agreed. Both stood smiling at the thought of his father’s reaction. “But when?” the bride to be asked. “Don’t know.” Rog replied. Silence passed by them again. Then, they both got the giggles all over again.

“So he purposed to you?” Nurse Izzie Morrison asked in amazement at St. Mary’s Touch. Anjia wasted no time spreading the good news to her friends at the hospital. “Yep!” Anjia boosted. “And what did you say?” Nurse Suri Paige asked. Anjia motioned her friends in closer. The others moved in closer. “I nodded and said yes.” Anjia replied. Joy spread their all of the girls. “Great!” Nurse Jessie Ferguson excited. “I always knew you two would end up together.” “Heck, I don’t understand why it took you this long to finally get together with Rog!” Izzie exclaimed. “So when’s the wedding?” Derdra asked. “Don’t know,” the bride to be answered. “We haven’t gotten that far yet.” “Oh.” the other nurses said softly. Jacilyn said nothing but kept smiling to herself. “Good for her.” she thought happily. Then she walked back into her office and closed the door behind her. Anjia kept smiling to herself. This was going to be a sweet engagement, wedding, and marriage. Her secret fantasy was coming true.

At Central headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Steven Walker walked over to the building over the moon. He was grinning in bliss. His face was all a bright glow. All of the guys took great notice of this. To them, that only meant one thing in particular. “Something good happen, Steven?” Jim asked in concern when the man made it to the locker room. Walker kept grinning proudly. “I’ve met the perfect girl!” the lieutenant colonel exclaimed in bliss. “Again?” Andrew asked in flat belief. This news had become older than the military code itself. The other guys crowded around him. They felt that had to listen to the latest girl that stole Steven’s heart. He had to tell it or he would die burning. “What is she like this time?” Don asked. Steven kept smiling. “She is the sure thing this time!” he preached. “Where have I heard that one before?” Jim asked unconvinced. “No seriously, this is the one!” Steven emphasized. “I swear on my mother’s grave, she is the one!” All of the other guys went quiet. “Go on,” Andrew said again. “Tell us more.” Steven kept smiling.

“Her name is Yasmine,” he began. “I met her this morning on the way here. We had both ordered to tea at the small café on the way here and waiter got orders confused. We spent minutes trying to get the right drink. You guys should’ve seen her. She was like an angel pretending to be a human. Fair skin, deep greenish brown eyes, beautiful raven black hair to her small sweet shoulders. She also has a nice body to go with her. We talked for a little bit, but that’s it. I have really found the one this time!” The others kept staring at him in mixed reaction. For the first time in many years, they were actually hoping that Steven can steal her heart just as Yasmine had done to him. “Just be sure to keep her away from Doug!” Don warned sharply. “Right!” Steven said with a strong nod. But ironically, Doug had heard every word on the other side of the lockers. And buddy, he liked what he heard! “New conquest!” the leech thought with a grin. “This one will be like taking candy from a baby!” Then, he put on his jacket and continued to unload into his locker.

Meanwhile outside, Major Daniel Jackson was heading inside the building when he heard yelling and screaming. “Take your hands off of me!!!” a woman’s voice yelled out. “Shut up, you bitch!” a man’s voice yelled out. Curious, Dan walked over to the ruckus. He found a young woman was fighting against an older man. She looked pissed and scared. “I don’t see why you don’t want to f**k me now! You seemed eager to do so last night in my jeep!” the man went on as he held on tight to the red haired woman by the wrists. “I was drunk last night!” she protested as she tried to get away. “Let me go!” “That’s what they all say!” her captor barked back. The woman tried her hardest to kick at him in order to get away. “You little slut!” the man yelled out. Dan couldn’t stand to hear anymore abuse from that creep. The major felt that he had to help her. So he walked over to them and yelled, “Hey!” Both people looked up at him. Daniel kept his stand. “What is going on here?” he asked. The man stood to his feet. “This little whore hit me!” he yelled out. “He hit me first!” the woman yelled out in defense. Dan stood there for a moment.

“Sir,” he said at last. “Let her go.” This angered the other man even more. “Say what?” he hissed. “Let her go!” Daniel repeated. “And who the hell are you?” the man hissed. “I’m going to say this one more time,” the major addressed the creep. “Let her go!” The man glared at Daniel and dropped the woman’s wrists. They fell on her lap with a plop. Both watched as the man stormed off with a huff. Daniel turned back to the woman. He noticed that she had a cute little baby face. “Are you okay, miss?” the major asked in concern. The woman nodded in shock. “W-Why did you do that for me?” she finally asked. Daniel smiled to her. “Dunno,” he replied. “Maybe because I can’t see a woman being mistreated.” Then, he headed into the building. The woman just sat there in shock. This was obviously the first time a man treated her like a person and not a sex toy.

Meanwhile, Havoc was paying a certain nurse a visit at St. Mary’s Touch Hospital. He had stopped by the flower shop to but Jacilyn a bouquet of gardenias as a token of his love for her. Little did he know that he would end up giving her more! Havoc made it to the main nurses’ station when a cloud of doubt greeted him. He saw Mustang talking to Jacilyn. The lieutenant felt himself getting sick all of the sudden. “Not again!” he thought mortified. “He’s going to end up taking Jaks away from me! I really thought this was love this time!” “So anyway,” Mustang was saying. “I was wondering if you could go out with me Friday night to the theater or something.” Jacilyn just kept staring at him as if he was crazy. “Are you asking me out?” she asked. “Yes,” the colonel answered. The head nurse stepped up a bit. “Are you serious?” she asked. “Yes,” Mustang said again. “Are you dead serious?” Jacilyn asked. “Yes, I am dead serious.” the colonel replied. “Swear on your mama’s life that you are serious.” the nurse demanded. “Yes,” Roy assured. “I swear on my mother’s life that I am dead serious about asking you out on a date.” Jacilyn couldn’t help but laugh at him. This caught Havoc’s attention big time. Mustang raised an eyebrow as her reaction. “Is something funny?” he asked in concern. Jaks stopped laughing and turned to the colonel.

“You are so cute!” the nurse called out. “But no.” Both Havoc and Mustang were shocked. “May I ask why not?” the colonel asked. The nurse gave him a sweet little shrug. “Cause,” Jacilyn answered. “I already have a boyfriend and if I didn’t, I wouldn’t go out with you in a million years. You see, you strike me as one of those annoying arrogant military jackasses who use their rank to get into a woman’s bed and throw her aside. I used to be attracted to that, but if I go out with you, I’d be arrested for murdering you because you would drive me nuts with your bragging. So, up yours and find some other nurse to harass with your bravo! Good day, sir.” Then, she walked back to her office. Mustang stood there shocked. “She… turned me down!” he thought. “That’s never happened to me before! What the hell?!? She’s even worse than Colonel French!” He knew that if word got out about this to the military, French hold this of his head so long that he would never see the sun ever again. He could just hear her insults and mockery now! *Roy looks as if Riza told him that he was useless with his fire power in the rain during battle*

This brought joy to Havoc’s little world. For two reasons, obviously:

 

1.) Colonel Roy Mustang got rejected and insulted by a woman for once in his life!

 

And most importantly:

 

2.) Nurse Jacilyn Ray actually loves him!!!

 

Jean Havoc threw down the flowers and rushed past his boss to his girlfriend’s office door. He pounded on it bliss. The door opened and there stood his angel. “Yes?” she asked. Jacilyn looked and saw Havoc. “Oh Jean, it’s you.” the nurse replied with pleasant surprise in her voice. The lieutenant said nothing. He just had a strong happy look in his eyes like a dog in heat near a bitch. His girlfriend raised an eyebrow at him. “Is something wrong?” she asked. Havoc just grabbed her by the waist and kissed her on the lips wildly. Jacilyn didn’t even bother asking because she already knew what this was about. She let her boyfriend push her up against her desk. The nurse pushed everything off of the surface and sat back on it. Havoc pushed her down and continued kissing her wildly. The two of them end up into another fiery passionate ride called sex. This whole day would really start up the steamy games called courtship and love.
