Just for the record, so that I don't have CTV coming after me with a lawyer (Not that you'll get much today, a ham sandwich and a Tim Tebow jersey, tops!) I don't own Flashpoint. Just so everyone knows.

Spike wasn't sure how to react to the news that the new recruit-the rookie-was female. It was one thing to have Jules on the team, she was Jules! But a new girl?

'"Her," said Eddie, stating the obvious. "As in a female?"

"No," said Greg sarcastically. "It's a bi-gender. Yes, she is a girl. What? You never had any problems with Jules being a girl."

Spike watched as Wordy carefully chose his words. "Greg-um, Jules was Jules. I meant, it was Jules, and we loved her! Hiring on another girl's like, I don't know, trying to replace her or something."

"What about Donna? She was a female and you didn't have a problem with that!"

Spike spoke up. "Donna was….freaky. She was just freaky. Honestly, we knew you weren't trying to replace Jules."

"I'm not trying to replace anybody!" cried Greg, in complete exasperation. "But we have to move on already. Sam and Jules got married, and now Jules is pregnant with a baby."

"Oh really," muttered Lewis. "Here I thought she was having kittens."

Greg overheard Lewis and shook his head. "C'mon guys, give her a chance! She's not Jules, will not try to be Jules, and will never be Jules. She's her own person, ok?"

A murmur of displeasure, mostly from Sam and Lewis, was silenced by Greg's scathing glare.

"Fine," sighed Lewis. "Make the call, boss. Go team one."

Greg shook his head. "I hope you over-ego divas-"

"Over-ego?" interrupted Spike, hoping to lighten the mood. "Is that like over-easy? As in eggs?" he grinned at Greg's obvious annoyance. "Because I am hungry."

"Don't!" moaned Sam. "Don't mention eggs. I will never, ever eat eggs again." He smiled at his team's confusion. "Jules! How the heck does a person eat eggs like that?"

"Cravings?" guessed Wordy. "Shelley had some really gross ones. Like pizza with anchovies, blah!"

"How are anchovies gross?" asked Eddie

"Um, besides the fact that they have eyes, and that she actually eats them? Fish eyeballs! And I swear I saw one blink." Wordy shuddered.

"Ew!" groaned Spike.

"Yeah, well Jules?" Sam shook his head. "Jules is eating scrambled eggs with relish, seafood sauce, and vanilla ice cream."

"WHAT?" yelped Eddie. "What the heck is she craving?"

"A stomach pump?" guessed Spike.

"GUYS!" yelled Greg, scrambling for his team's attention. "Focus! New recruit! Don't think about eating fish eyes or really gross eggs."

"Chill, boss!" laughed Eddie. "We're cool! New recruit, ok!"

"Good," said Greg, eyeing his entire team. "Because she's standing outside, waiting to come in and meet you guys."
