Authors note: just like lots of my other stories, they are in the year 2016 in this story. Just thought I'd point that out. Also, some of the credit of this story goes to TrisPrior101. Thanks for giving me the idea, and letting me run with it.
Bear walked down the hall, he kept looking to make sure no one was watching, then he walked into Getraer's office, and closed the door.
"Hey, Sarge, can we talk?" he asked.
"Sure," Getraer replied.
"I wanna date Sindy, but I need permission," Bear said. He just spit it out fast, so he wouldn't get any more nervous than he already was.
"I don't see why not, just don't announce it to everyone. I mean, we don't need you showing off how much you love each other at work. And you are not allowed to kiss or any of that while at work," Getraer said.
"Ok, thanks, Sarge. This was much easier than I thought it'd be," Bear replied.
"I've already had this talk with Poncherello millions of times," Getraer replied.
"About dating Sindy?" Bear asked.
"No, about dating female officers here," Getraer replied. Bear relaxed a little. He should've known that, but he was so anxious and panicky that he wasn't thinking straight. Getraer smiled,
"Go ask her out," he said.
"What?"
"Well that's what Poncherello always waits for me to say before he leaves. I guess I'll have to find something else to say to you," Getraer said.
"Oh, ok I'll go see her." Bear said. He left the room, then poked his head back in. "Thanks, Sarge," he said.
"You're welcome," Getraer replied.
Meanwhile…..
Sindy is sitting in the break room with Ponch drinking coffee, while he eats a ding dong. They are chatting with each other.
"I don't think that is even possible. Why would Jon ever think of that?" Ponch said. Sindy just laughed.
"The thought is funny," she said.
"To you maybe," Ponch replied. He pulled out his cell phone, and sent a text to Jon. Sindy smiled,
"Are you asking him?" She asked laughing.
"Yes," Ponch replied.
"Well let me know what he says," she replied. Ponch's eyes got wide,
"He said yes. I can't believe this," Ponch said. Sindy began to laugh really hard. Bear was confused when he came in.
"What's going on?" he asked. Ponch looked like he was upset or something. Bear couldn't tell.
"Um, Jon just said that he'd kiss a frog, if it was wearing lipstick, even if it turned out it was his grandma."
"So he basically just said he'd kiss his grandma?" Bear asked.
"Yeah, isn't that gross. I mean, kissing your grandma on the cheek is fine, but…" Ponch didn't even finish.
"Ponch, it's ok. It isn't that bad, its kinda like when you are a little kid, and kiss your mom," Sindy said.
"But Jon is a grown man," Ponch said. "I don't even kiss my grandma on the cheek anymore," he added. Sindy and Bear smiled,
"Ok, well it isn't that bad," Bear said. Ponch sent another text to Jon, and then he received a message that was just Jon saying, "LOL I was kidding. I would never kiss a frog." Ponch smiled,
"HA, I was right. Look at this!" he exclaimed showing Sindy the newest message.
"Wow, Ponch calm down a bit," Sindy said trying to hold back laughter. Bear smiled at Sindy,
"Hey, Sarge said yes," he said. Sindy smiled,
"That's great," she replied.
"He said yes to what?" Ponch asked.
"Something," Bear said. Sindy whispered something in Ponch's ear.
"Oh, that's cute. Have fun. You'd be great together," Ponch whispered back to her. Bear smiled, he could tell that Ponch was excited.
"You can keep this secret right?" he asked.
"Sure," Ponch replied with a smile, he pretended to zip up his lips.
"My lips are sealed," he said.
