KATIE : No I totally agree, Baywatch wouldn't be Baywatch without the great Mitch Buchannon lol. So you think Guy's in love with Connie, but then again, I think no matter what, Guy would always be in love with Connie, she was his first love, whether or not they were meant to be together lol. Connie and Averman huh? Well you get 100% for observation lol. Yeah Connie is a hero lol, but I think that everyone is a hero really, even if the most heroic thing you do is cheer someone up, because believe it or not, that little bit of cheerfulness may have made their life more worth living – to them – wow that was a bit too serious for me lol. I used to love that song by the Mavericks, but now everytime I hear it, I simply think of my boss's boss who has a karoke and trust me – he sounds like cats being straggled lol. In fact I think you might find, that I did most of the singing for LeAnn Rimes, see I have just got that type of voice lol. Right for my song –
Burn baby burn
Burn baby burn
Burn baby burn
Burn baby burn To my surprise (listen) one hundred stories high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
The folks were screaming, way out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
(Chorus)
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Burn that mother down Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody is going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say CHORUS Up above my head
I hear music in the air (I hear music)
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere Satisfaction came in a chain reaction (can ya hear me)
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody is going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
That was Disco inferno by the Trammps. Anyways thanks for your support and review. CHEERS MI DEARS!!!!
JOCIE : Your very welcome for the Mitch thing lol. Ain't he just, his voice ain't that bad either, I've got one of his singles and it's ace lol. I wouldn't particularly call him a perv, but I agree he shouldn't be really thinking about Connie that way lol. Of course Adam sounds HOT, he is anyway lol. Adam and Connie? Nope sorry, you ain't a genius this time, but I'll not make you wear a dunce hat lol. Right for my song to you –
(Now dad this is a very sensitive subject)
(Just the two of us, yeah)
Just the two of us (Just the two of us)
Just the two of us (Just the two of us)
From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms
I knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm
Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough
Against wrong, choose right and be standing up
From the hospital that first night
Took a hour just ta get the car seat in right
People driving all fast, got me kinda upset
Got you home safe, placed you in your bassinette
That night I don't think one wink I slept
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
Cause I knew I loved you more than life itself (life itself)
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline too
I pledge my life to you
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Five years old, bringing comedy
Every time I look at you I think man, a little me
Just like me
Wait and see gonna be tall
Makes me laugh cause you got your dads ears an all
Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be
A General, a Doctor, maybe a emcee
Ha ha I wanna kiss you all the time
But I will test that butt when you cut out of line, tru dat
Uh ah why you do that
I try to be a tough dad, but you be making me laugh
Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy
I pledge to you, I will always do
Everything I can
Show you how to be a man
Dignity, integrity, honour and
And I don't mind if you lose, long as you came with it
And you can cry, ain't no shame it it
It didn't work out with me an your mom
But yo push come to shove
You was conceived in love
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track
Remember one fact, I got your back
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
It's a full-time job to be a good dad
You got so much more stuff than I had
I gotta study just to keep with the changing times
101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM
See me I'm
Trying to pretend I know
On my PC where that CD go
But yo, ain't nothing promised, one day I'll be gone
Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong (life goes on)
But just in case
It's my place
To impart
One day some girl's gonna break your heart
And ooh ain't no pain like from the opposite sex
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the net, son
Throughout life people will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Let God deal with the things they do (things they do)
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too
Always tell the truth, say your prayers (prayers)
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears
You're living proof that dreams do come true
I love you and I'm here for you
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
-repeat-
Taking on the world taking on the world
(I'm always here for you)
Look over your shoulder I'll be there
(Whatever you need just call on me)
We gonna rise we gonna shine
(Whatever you need I'll be there for you any time)
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Daddy loves you daddy loves you for the rest of your life

Chapter 3
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I dove into the water, beside Barney, swimming as fast as I could, to reach the victims. There was already 1 guard out there, trying to secure them to their one can and a scarab attempting to douse the flames of the fire that had over taken the victims boat. When I reached the scene, I pushed my can into one of the victims hands before swimming to reach another.
"Vicky, how many victims"? I shouted over to my collegue.
"7". She replied.
I did a quick recount, I had 2, Vicky was just saving one, and Barney had saved 1, and was going after another. I glanced around, but I couldn't see anyone. Without even thinking about it, I dove under the water, searching around, swimming a few metres before resurfacing. After catching my breath, I went back under, this time followed by Vicky. Again, we saw nothing. Upon my 3rd attempt, I caught sight of something, and all 3 of us, swam speedily toward it. Grabbing hold of the body, we dragged him to the surface. Barney had a quick listen for him breathing, on deciding he wasn't, he lifted himself in the water slightly, and filled the victims lungs with oxygen. He did this a few times, before the victim began coughing and spluttering. He was pulled up into the scarab with the other victims, leaving us to swim back ashore.
"Thanks guys"? Vicky called, as we climbed back into the truck.
"Ok, see you later". I replied.
"So they were your high school friends"? Barney struck up conversation on the way back to the headquarters.
"They were more than just my high school friends, I've known 2 of them all my life, and Julie's one of my best friends". I began the long explaination, but stopped, when we got a call over the radio.
That evening, I returned home, tired from he long day I had just had. Normally I would have showered and changed before leaving the headquarters, but tonight I couldn't be bothered, so I just slipped my jogging bottoms and jacket on over my bathing suite, grabbed my bag and left. When I got home, everyone was there waiting for me. I greeted them and headed straight for the fridge, retrieving a bottle of water, before joining them in the living room.
"So, did these guys show you all the sights"? I asked.
"Yeah, though they wouldn't let us go shopping". Julie replied.
"Really? And what is wrong with a little retail therapy"? I glanced around at the guys.
"Nothing, as long as we aren't involved". Charlie answered.
"Fine. How about I take you tomorrow afternoon, after my shift". I looked at Julie and Louise.
"Definitely". They both replied.
"Ok. So who's turn is it to cook dinner tonight, I'm starved"?
"YOURS". Came 3 responses.
"Are you sure"? I asked, they all nodded. "But I've been working ALL day". I moaned.
"Not gonna work". Averman commented.
"Fine, that's fine". I answered defeatedly, but began flipping through the yellow pages. Finding the right page, I grabbed the phone and dialled a number. "Hi, I'd like to book a table for 8... erm in about an hour... that's great, thanks". I put the phone down.
"Hey that's cheating". Russ argued, but with a chuckle in his voice.
"Say's who"? I argued back.
"Say's me". He shot back.
"Well if you don't want a free dinner, then that's fine, but I'M going out for dinner". I laughed in return.
"Well, I didn't say I didn't want to come".
"Thought that'd change your mind". I laughed.
5 minutes later, the others had left to go get ready for dinner, and I was diving in the shower. When I got out, Adam was just pulling his pants on. I jumped onto him, making him fall back, onto the bed. He didn't struggle to get up, he just rolled me to the side, then leant in for a gentle kiss.
KATIE : 100% OBSERVATION BUT SADLY 0% FOR WRONG ANSWER LOL.
JOCIE : YOU WERE RIGHT REALLY LOL.
"So you miss me today"? I asked giggling a little.
"What do you think"? He teased.
"I think the answer better be yes". I laughed back.
"What if it isn't"?
"Then I think you're in trouble".
"Then yes a thousand times". He replied, brushing his lips softly against mine.
"So have you told them about us"? I asked, as I snuggled into his chest.
"No, I thought it might be best we told them together".
"Umm". I hummed in agreement.
"Come on you two love birds, we need to be leaving in 10". Averman called from the living room. I let out a sigh and climbed up off the bed and began getting dressed and applying a little light make up.
"Adam".
"Yeah". He replied.
"Was it me or did the guys act a little weird when they found out I was a lifeguard". I was hoping he was going to say it was me.
"No, I noticed they were a little weird". He agreed
"Did they say anything to you".
"No, but I'm sure it was just shock".
"I don't know you know". I spoke of my doubts.
"Just don't think about it". He told me, but I couldn't, not think about it.
5 minutes later, we left the apartment and went to pick the guys up from their hotel. I was still thinking about how the guys had reacted when they had first seen me. I hadn't thought much of it at the time, but looking back now, everyone bar Louise, had gone quiet upon realizing what my job was, almost as though they were ashamed. It bugged me, not being able to figure out why they had been weird. Then my thoughts travelled to the fact that I had yet to tell them about me and Adam. At the restaurant, I sat between Julie and Averman, and remained pretty quiet. Adam was sat across from me, and every so often when no-one was looking winked at me.
"You ok Con's"? Charlie asked, as the waiter cleared our dishes from the main course.
"Yeah, why"? I answered, a little thrown, by the sudden question.
"You're just a little quiet, that's all". He replied.
"I'm just a little tired, long day, you know".
"Ok". He answered, then quickly changed the subject.
There it was again, the weirdness. Both Averman and Russ must have picked up on it this time, and looked at both me and Adam. Adam gave a little shrug in response, shaking his head slightly as he did so.
"So, Connie, what tower are you working tomorrow"? Averman restarted a conversation.
"I'm not, I'm on the scarab". I answered, realizing exactly what he was doing.
"Oh, I love the scarab". Averman laughed giddily. "It reminds me of Luis. 'I have the need for speed', but at least the scarab stops without crashing into something". He recited Luis' slogan that he always used to shout when he sped down the ice.
"Hey Con's, you ought to take these guys out on it one day". Adam told me, before turning to the others. "I'm telling you, you've never felt anything more exhilerating".
"I'd lov"... Louise began.
"No it's ok". Guy butted in, receiving an icy glare from Louise. That was it, the last straw.
"Guy, do you have a problem with my job"? I asked suddenly.
"Why would you think that"? He countered.
"Well it's just that everytime my job is mentioned, you all go extremley quiet or change the subject". I argued my point.
"No course we don't". Julie said, but I guessed it didn't come out as confidently as she'd have liked.
"You do, I can tell you do. I haven't known you two for 19 years and been your best friend for 8 years for nothing you know". I gestered toward Charlie and Guy then Julie.
"Ok, it's just a little weird, seeing you, um". Charlie began but fumbled for words.
"What dressed in a bathing suite all day". I put in bluntly.
"Well yeah. We just never imagined you to do something like this". Guy continued.
"Something like what, hum, like save peoples lives, keep people safe whilst they have a good time. You're just like every other narrow minded person that can't see past the bathing suite. I thought you of all people would have understood this". I stood up, and threw two $50 dollar bills down on the table, before leaving.
I knew before they had arrived that they'd have changed, probably more in looks than personality, but I NEVER expected them to have become narrow minded. They had no idea about my job, all they understood was that I wore a bathing suite and that was it. I didn't take this job so I could wear a bathing suite everyday and top my tan up, I took this job for the adrenalin rush I got when I saved someone's life, knowing that I made a difference to someone's life, knowing that the victim and their families felt a sudden rush of relief when I got to them in time. They saw none of this, all they saw was the bathing suite.
So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
