And also to another fellow FF author Mckenzie-Schenkkan who has just posted her very first fanfic called Provider for Rookie Blue. So check it out!Note: - This is OOC as Lesley Shay isn't a lesbian.

Chapter 1
As the rain battered down around the streets of Chicago, Lesley Shay and Gabriela Dawson quickly ran across the street to the local bar.
They had became friend's very quickly thanks to the fact that they were both at the same medical school and wanted to become paramedics for Firehouse 51. Their course was long hours and hard work but they knew it would pay off in the end. It was an adrenaline job which also came with dangerous circumstances sometimes but the reward of being able to help and save people wiped out all the bad stuff.
Lesley Shay loved to have a good time, let her hair down and have fun with the girls.
Her career though was important too her, she wanted to make a name for herself; show that she could stand on her own with the big boys.
She really wasn't looking to have the settling down period just yet, she wanted to see where life would take her and concentrate on having a successful career.
Gabriela Dawson, was known to everyone as the younger sister of her brother Detective Antonio Dawson.
She always knew she wanted to help people, not in a cop way but something else and a paramedics job was just the thing for her.
She's strong willed and always speaks her mind, just what you need sometimes for this type of job since you never know what lies next.
The anticipation, the rush that you get, matched her so well that she can't wait for her course at medical school to finish.
Her and Shay had become great friend's through the short time they had been at school together. Gabriela was just like Lesley; not ready for the settling down part of life, all she was interested in was her career.
Finally reaching the other side of the street the two friend's practically ran into the bar to get out of the down pour, which had only started the moment they stepped foot out of their apartment.
It was a Friday night and no more school until Monday which meant it was time for the girls to let their hair down and have some fun.
Once inside the girls shed their wet jackets before pushing through the crowd towards the bar, it was busy for only being 7pm and they guessed it would just get worse.
Everyone must have the same idea as them and that was a night of fun and laughter.
"Can I get two beers please?" Shay yelled as to the bartender over the noise as she and Dawson took a seat at the bar "So ready for a good night?" she asked as Dawson's face lit up at that question;
"Of course I am, we'll be on the tequila soon!" she hollered as the two beers were placed in front of them.
As the girls knocked the bottle's together before taking a drink, little did they know that their night would get exciting indeed.
At the far end of the bar Kelly Severide sat with his best friend Matthew Casey, both of them having just finished a long shift at the firehouse.
The expections of being a fireman were always greater than any other job, the fact that you were putting your own life at risk for the sake of someone else; was something no-one would understand until they had done it.
Everyone expects things to go to smoothly but that's not always the case.
Like today, here they sat downing their beers because even though they managed to pull someone out of a collapsing building, the person still died on the way to hospital.
"What a day..." Kelly mumbled as Casey just nodded in approval. Casey had been thinking the exact same thing, he knew being a fireman would be hard but some days, like today; where harder than others.
"Yeah, just another day to add to the miserable list of being a fireman" Casey sighed as the two friend's fell silent once again.
The noise from the bar had surrounded them from the moment they walked in two hours ago.
As they sat enjoying each other's company with nothing but the noise surrounding them, the laughing sound they heard next had them confused for a bit but then Kelly heard it again.
Nudging Casey with his elbow he gestured with his head as to where the sound had came from, what they seen; they couldn't pull their eyes away.
Shay and Dawson sat laughing and giggling at whatever had been said.
They had, had a few drinks but were loving the release from it.
As Kelly and Casey sat watching the scene before them, neither of the four knew that their night would get so much better.
So there you have chapter 1, sorry it's short but I just wanted to get it up to see what you all think of it. As always let me know by leaving a review! Chapter 2 will be posted as soon as I can.
