Songs & Fire (70) 12/31/19 - Theme From New York, New York

(70) Challenge: Day 31 - 12/31/19

Song: Theme From New York, New York by Frank Sinatra (Of course I had to do a New York song and theme for New Year's Eve! New York is my favorite place in the world!)

Author's Note: Hi! I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone! You have all been amazing to me this month while I did this. I am so grateful to all of my devoted fans! You all have no idea how much your support means to me and how it gets me through my hard days. You're all amazing, thank you so much for everything!

Start spreading the news

I am leaving today

I want to be a part of it

New York, New York

These vagabond shoes

They are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it

New York, New York

I want to wake up in that city

That doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap

"Happy Birthday!" Shouted everyone as Brett walked into the firehouse.

Brett smiled, "Thank you, everyone!"

"So, what did Casey get you?" Asked Kidd as she handed Brett her favorite latte from Starbucks.

"Ugh, I actually haven't seen him yet."

Kidd stopped walking and turned to look at Brett, "Wait, you mean you haven't seen him at all today?'

"No, he had already left to go back to Kelly's and get his things for shift when I got up, but he did call me as soon as I got up."

"Okay…" Whispered Kidd as she tried to fight the nervous feelings rising up for her friend.

My little town blues

They are melting away

I gonna make a brand new start of it

In old New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you

New York, New York

New York, New York

I want to wake up in that city

That never sleeps

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the list

Head of the heap

King of the hill

"Hey," Yelled Casey as soon as he saw Brett walk out of the locker room.

Brett smiled as soon as she saw him, "Hey,"

Casey walked up to Brett and wrapped his arms around her, "Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you." Grinned Brett before she leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.

"Hey, sorry I wasn't there when you woke up this morning." Said Casey as he let Brett go and started walking with her to the kitchen.

"It's okay. I did miss my morning kiss, though."

"Ok, yeah?" Asked Casey as he spun Brett around so she was back in his arms.

"Yeah," Giggled Brett before Casey swept in and kissed her lips without any warning.

"Hey, break it up, lovebirds." Yelled Herman as he walked by the two causing them to immediately break apart and laugh.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Brett and Foster were called out a few times, but thankfully it was nothing too serious.

"Hey, did you see the cute cake Ritter tried to make for me?" Asked Brett as she and Foster made their way back into the firehouse after the third non-emergency call of the day.

Foster laughed, "Yeah, you gotta give him credit for trying, Herman and Mouch kinda distracted him by making him create the new Molly's website.

Both girls were laughing as they made their way into the firehouse.

"Hey, Brett, Casey wanted you to go to his office once the two of you were back."

Brett looked at her friend and smiled, "Okay, thanks, Kidd."

These are little town blues

They have all melted away

I am about to make a brand new start of it

Right there in old New York

Brett made her way to Casey's office but stopped right outside of the door as she found it weird that, one, the door was closed, and, two, all of the blinds were shut.

'That's weird.' Thought Brett before she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Hey," Smiled Casey as he opened the door and slid out so she couldn't see anything inside.

'Hey, what's going on? You never shut your door unless you're sleeping or talking to someone."

"Well, I have a surprise for you."

A surprise?"

"Yep, but I need you to close your eyes before I take you in."

"Really?" Asked Brett.

"Yes, or you don't get to see your surprise."

Brett quickly acquiesced as she was ready to see what her amazing man had planned, "Okay,"

Casey turned to make sure Brett's eyes were closed before he led her into his dark office, "Alright, open your eyes."

Brett opened her eyes and gasped at what she saw, "Oh my gosh, Casey...this is amazing."

"You like it?"

"I love it," Whispered Brett before she kissed his cheek.

Casey had backed out his office, with the help of Cruz and Kidd of course, and he had tons of tea-light candles that were non-flammable all over the place to give it a nice glow.

"How did you do all of this?"

"Well, I had a little help, but I figured that since you had to work on your birthday we could still have a romantic dinner away from everyone."

"You're amazing, I love you."

"I love you too, but I still need to give you your gift."

"Casey, you didn't have to get me anything, what you've down here is more than enough."

Casey smiled before he walked over to his desk, pulled out an envelope, and handed it to Brett.

"Open it."

Brett looked up at Casey before she carefully slipped her hand under the seal and pulled it open. When she opened it, all she saw were papers, so she reached in a pulled the papers out only yo fin that they were first-class tickets to New York City.

"Casey…"

"I figured now would be a perfect time to go since you said that you've always wanted to go and never been."

"Casey, are you serious?" Asked Brett as tears started to cloud her vision.

"Dead serious, Brett. I've never wanted to do anything more in my life than make you happy."

Brett let out a ugly, but happy sob before she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"I love you so much!"

"I love you too!"

And you bet [Incomprehensible] baby

If I can make it there

You know, I'm gonna make it just about anywhere

Come on, come through

New York, New York, New York
