'And...'

She twisted the screwdriver round,

'...There...'

Round it went again,

'...We...'

She quickly checked it was screwed on properly,

'...Go!'

Penny slid out from underneath Jupiter, and sat up. She snatched up the almost empty bottle of water that was sitting next to her, spat some black substance out, and began gulping it down. 'Great work, Penny!' Sam complimented, patting the red fire engine. Penny looked over, and took the bottle away from her mouth (it was now empty) 'Thanks!' She replied, opening her mouth and tipping the bottle out, trying to see if she could get a few more drips from it. 'What was that black stuff you spat out a few seconds ago?' Sam asked her, leaning on Jupiter. 'Oil' she told him, distracted as she tried (and failed) to get more water from the bottle. Sam raised his eyebrows, 'you didn't swallow any, right?' he asked, worry in his tone. 'Nah" Penny replied, wiping oil from her cheek. Sam sighed in relief, and then chuckled, 'you should probably wash up - your covered in oil!' Penny looked down at herself, 'yeah...'

'Finished, Morris?'

Sam and Penny looked around to see Station Officer Steele walking towards them, followed by Elvis Cridlington. 'Yes sir!' Penny announced, 'No more oil leaks for her!' She stepped aside, allowing Steele to crouch down and check. He stood up promptly, 'yes, well done Firefighter Morris' he praised her, Penny smiled. 'Now, do you have the... you know' He asked quietly, but they all heard. Penny nodded quickly, 'Yes sir, its in Venus - I'll be two seconds!' She was already halfway across the yard by the time she finished. 'Whats she getting?' Elvis asked nosily 'Nothing that concerns you, Cridlington' Steele retorted sternly, Sam decided not to expand on the topic. Penny came jogging back to them, holding some paperwork in her right hand, which had a glove on it. 'Here we are, sir' She said, handing it to him, "Ah, excellent!" Steele took it, "Whats with the... Steele gestured towards Penny's gloved hand 'didn't want to get it covered in oil' She told him. 'Yes, well, perhaps you should clean up' Station Officer Steele replied, looking down at the papers. 'Will do sir' She replied, and headed towards the fire station. Elvis tapped her on the shoulder as she passed him 'whats that all about?' he whispered, Sam listened in. Penny opened her mouth to reply, but Steele beat her to it - 'Firefighter Cridlington, when I say something is none of your business-' 'Sorry sir' Elvis apologized before he could finish, looking dejectedly at the ground. Steele glared at him 'We shall continue this conversation inside, Penny' Steele announced 'it won't take long' He assured her as he walked passed, the blonde firefighter followed. Penny turned and walked backwards, 'I'll tell you later' She mouthed, before turning around.

...

'Elvis, what are you doing?'

Elvis whipped around to see Sam standing behind him with two cups of tea and a bottle of water tucked underneath his arm. 'Just checking in on Penny and Station Officer Steele' he told him, peering through the glass panes in the door that led to the Station Officer's office. Sam chuckled, and a drop of tea spilled one of the teacups. 'You've been 'checking in' on them for almost ten minutes' he said, 'What can they be doing that's interesting you so much?' 'Well, Steele was acting like it was something he didn't want us knowing about, so it must be something interesting' Elvis replied, not taking his eyes of Penny and Steele. 'Yeah, or something personal' Sam tried to reason, but Elvis had stopped paying attention, 'Oh, Oh! There standing up!' Elvis announced excitedly, Sam rolled his eyes at Elvis's over enthusiasm. 'Now there shaking hands!' he continued, 'Elvis get away from the door! your going to get in trouble!' Sam warned. 'Oh no, Penny's seen me!' Elvis gasped, Sam groaned.

'Oh sir, what's that on the window?'

It was just loud enough for Sam and Elvis to hear, but it was Penny who said it, and there wasn't really anything on the window, she was just giving Elvis time to get away from the glass before Steele saw him. Elvis quickly ducked away from the glass and took the cup of tea that Sam offered him.
