These are the Adventures of Mia Hunt and Emma Shepherd. You should probably read my fic Mia Hunt first but you don't have to.
Thanks so much to crimsonmaz for the awesome beta job.
Beth taught the class about interviews. You had to ask someone questions to get a story. The assignment for her class involved students asking their parents how they met. The kids could write down as much as they wanted, then they would share the story with the class. It worked on their writing and speaking skills by putting a story in chronological order.
Mia asked Cristina and Owen how they met, and it sounded a little like a fairy tale.
"Once upon a time, my mom and dad met when my mom was at work. My dad was on vacation from the army. He was in a car accident and cut his leg. He helped the other people and got to the hospital where my mom works. My mom's boss told her to fix my dad's leg, so she did. Well, she was going to, but he did it himself. My mom said that was hot,"
A couple of kids giggled.
"My dad went to help his patients, even though mom said he didn't have any because he didn't work there. But she went to talk to Aunt Meredith. They were outside and my mom slipped on some ice and fell down. Before she could get up, an icicle fell from the roof and stabbed her in the chest!" She pointed to the area that Cristina had pointed to while they were telling her the story.
"Aunt Meredith went to get help and my dad came out and called my mom a damsel in distress. My mom says it's because he has a," she looked at her paper, "savior complex. But anyway, he carried her inside to take care of her.
"After a while, because they had to do tests and stuff, my dad pulled out the icicle. My mom said he did it without her permission, but my dad said 'So?'. He says that a lot sometimes. Then he fixed her cut."
Pausing, Mia looked up to see the wide-eyed interest of her classmates and the thoughtful look on her teacher's face. Smiling a little to herself, she continued.
"He thought about staying in Seattle because he really liked my mom, but he had to go back to the army to finish his job. But, when he was done he came back! And then they worked together and lived happily ever after!"
