Title: Academy Days

Rating: G
Author's notes: I had always wondered about the foundation
of Danny and Sarah's close
friendship and since
no one else was exploring it, I am. I have never been in the police
academy, but I have
friends who are in law enforcement. I have been picking their brains
but it isn't the same
as being there, so I apologize in advance for any errors. Assuming
anyone reading this
is a cop…
At the point the
story begins, Sarah and Danny have been together long enough to
establish a good
friendship. This is mostly because I haven't decided yet if they first
met at the academy,
or if they decided to go in together. The only thing the series offers
is that they went
through the academy together. I am open to suggestions.
Disclaimer: I don't
own any of the characters; Top Cow just lets me play with them,
Chapter 1
Sarah stifled a yawn.
It would not do to get singled out in this class. She had enough trouble with
criminal law without bringing any heat from the instructor down on her. Maybe
if she hadn't stayed up so late… The room was warm, and the hiss of the old
fashioned radiator keeping it so began to blend with the lecture. Her pen
slowed, "blah blah Tort Law differs from blah blah examples of blah blah" Her
head began a slow descent toward the desktop.
Danny watched her
head nod, and then jerk up. He leaned forward and whispered,"That must have
been one hot date. I think I'm jealous. Was he cute?"
"Danny, you are a
real prick." She hissed. "You know I was studying the crime scene procedures. I
don't want to look like an ass in front of Voss. She will tear us a new one if
we forget anything. I wonder how long it takes before my brain explodes from
all the information?"
"Well, at least
we'll know how to read the splatter pattern when it happens." He grinned.
"Besides, you're a natural. Your dad would be proud of how well you're doing."
"God I hope so.
Sometimes it feels like everyone is comparing me to him. Or they act like I
should already know things because my dad was a cop."
"If you could wait
while I tune my violin, I will accompany you"
"Save it Shoji. Um,
can I borrow your notes?" Sarah asked, looking back over the page. In several
places her handwriting simply drifted into illegible scrawls.
"Not even graduated
yet, and I'm already covering your ass… Am I good or what?"
"Or what. If you
really want kudos, get me coffee from anywhere but the Student Union."
As if her
suggestion was a cue, the bell rang. Sarah and Danny gathered up their notes
and filed out of the classroom with the others.
Author blathering again: What do you think? Please review,
and be honest. I have no beta reader, and I can't get my friends to watch the
series. That means I have no idea what everyone else wants to read.
