The Dragonslayers of Station 51

by katbybee

This will be an ongoing collection of drabbles, shorts, and other glimpses into the lives of our heroes; the good, the bad, the funny, and the ugly they must face as they are tasked with keeping The Beast & the bad guys at bay in LA County. Be fairly warned: There will be occasional visitors wandering in and out from other fandoms! Mine is an equal-opportunity muse! Don't own, etc.

~On a Call~

It started out like any other rather annoying false alarm call. Stoker was not thrilled but wasn't all that upset either. They happened. In this case, someone had accidentally tripped a fire alarm in a senior living community building by hanging a plant on a fire sprinkler and breaking it.

They got the water mopped up and most of the older folks settled down. Mike was shocked when he was pinched firmly on the butt. He turned around to see two little old ladies smiling and waving at him. One of them was the obvious culprit. He frowned a little. How could he make a big deal out of it when they were just harmless old ladies? He turned back to the dials on Big Red. And got pinched again. This time he whirled around in time to catch one of the ladies stepping back from him.

"Hey, you really shouldn't do that you know! I'm a married man!"

The lady in question simply smiled beatifically, "You're also the best looking man we've seen in months. Sorry if we embarrassed you. We dared each other to do what we did. We really are sorry. But life gets so boring here, we just decided to take advantage of the excitement."

Mike looked amused at that point. "And pinch a fireman."

"Yep. And pinch a fireman."

"Well, don't do it again."

"Oh, we won't. We promise."

"Okay then, have a nice day."

And Mike turned back to Big Red, shaking his head, glad Chet was inside the structure. He'd never hear the end of it otherwise!

~The End~
