Disclaimer: This doesn´t belong to me, ´cause if it had, "Pacific Blue" would still be airing. I do only own the story and the character Miss Evans.
Author´s Note: This is my first attempt of a Bobby fic. There aren´t many about him out there, and it´s long since I saw an episode with him in, so I suspect he will be a bit out of character.
Author´s Note 2: I don´t expect getting any great reviews from this, since I´m not good at writing fanfics with a lot of dialogue, and this one does have a lot of dialogue.

What Rain Brings
"God I hate these kind of days!", Russ Granger shouted to his partner, Bobby Cruz.
"Well, there is one thing good with this rain. It keeps the burglars away."
There had been raining for 3 days now, and it didn´t seem as it would stop anytime soon. The streets were emptied of people, and most of the small shops at the beach were closed, since no one needed sun lotion or a new bikini right now.
Bobby was quite happy about the rain though, rain meant no wild student parties at the beach, which also meant he didn´t have to worry about Teresa sneaking out when she really should be studying for her exams.
"Aargh!", Russ said in frustration, "Can´t this shift just end or something? I´m soaking wet down to my underwear"
"Hey, relax. It´s just 30 minutes left, and then you can go home and spend the whole night in front of your TV, with a beer in your hand." Bobby replied.
"Oh really, what are you going to do then, sit with a baseball-bat outside Teresa´s bedroom, making sure she doesn´t sneak out again?" Russ said in a teasing tone.
"No. You might not have any success on the female front, but I have a date."
"Ouch. That hurt you know." Russ´ nose was twitching, which made him look a bit weird, as he was thinking of a particular date that had turned out horrible. Then he saw Bobby´s wide grin.
"Hey, how was I to know she had been a he?"
"No, of course you couldn´t have" Bobby answered, still grinning.
"She- I mean he looked exactly as a woman. Even you admitted that!" He almost screamed. Realizing he wouldn´t be able to win this conversation, he quickly changed the subject back to Bobby´s date.
"So, what does she look like?"
"Ah man, she´s gorgeous. Beautiful, brunette...she´d look good in a smooth black dress."
"So...I guess I can sum it up with a good-looking brunette?" Russ said, a little unsatisfied with the answer Bobby had given.
"Yeah, I suppose so."
"Well, our shift´s up. Wanna race back to the station?"
"Sure. I bet I´ll win over you with at least one block."
"We´ll see about that Cruz..."

Bobby was driving home in the rain. His date hadn´t gone very well and he simply wanted to forget this night had ever happened. First off all she was a vegetarian, meaning she could eat nothing on the menu except for the "House Salad". Then, second of all, when they were eating, she kept complaining about him eating meat and that a poor animal had sacrificed its life for the beef he had just finished. Then third of all, she had a horrible attitude, and complained on the restaurant´s service.
As he was driving, he saw someone running in the rain, wearing a black jacket. Hmm, he thought, it´s pretty cold out there. And with these thoughts, he lowered his car-window.
"Hey you! You want a ride to where-ever you´re going?" Even to him that sounded stupid, but to his surprise, she stopped and walked a bit closer to the car.
"Umm, thank you, but I don´t just jump in cars that a stranger drives." She said, and started to walk away again.
"Wait! I understand why you wouldn´t go with me, but I´m a police officer."
She raised an eyebrow before she began to talk again. "And being a police officer would help me how?" She teasingly asked.
"Well, thought you´d believe that I´m not going to kidnap you if I did."
A smile went across her face. "And how do I know you´re not lying?"
"Could this make you trust me?" He asked, holding up his badge. He saw her face-expression, she still doubted. "I haven´t got all day you know." This made her make up her mind, as she ran to the other side of the car and jumped in.
He was now wet, since he had had his window down for a minute or two. He rolled the window up and turned to the woman. It wasn´t until now he really saw what she looked like. She had shoulder-long blonde hair and her eyes were blue-gray. She was beautiful, even though she was dripping from head to toes.
"So, where do you live?", Bobby asked, not being able to take his eyes from her.
"Oh, just a few blocks from here. I could´ve just run the way home, really." She said, while trying to stop the water from dripping off her nose down on the floor in his car. "I´m sorry for dripping down your car." She continued, trying to stop a smile from passing her lips.
"Ah, I´ll just clean it up tomorrow. Besides, it´s wet from when I had to lower the window." He replied.
She laughed. It was one of the most beautiful laughs Bobby had heard. It sounded like hundreds of bells ringing at the same time. Well, it did to Bobby at least.
The rest of the journey carried on in silence, until she told him to stop the car. "This is my place." she told him, as she collected her things.
Bobby looked at the house very skeptical. "How can you afford such a house?" he asked.
"Well, the truth is, I can´t" She replied. "I lived here with my boyfriend, but since we broke up..."she took a deep breathe before continuing "...I´ve looked for someplace else to live, since I can´t afford this house on my own."
"I´m sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend breaking up" Bobby added, though he deep down really wasn´t.
"Yeah. Well, thanks for giving me a ride....officer."
"Anytime." She was on her way to the house when he realized something.
"Hey! I never caught your name, Miss...?"
She turned around, gave him a huge smile and said "Evans.", before continuing her way into the house...
