A/N: Please review, I just like knowing people read my stories; I don't care if you criticize.

This is my first story, it is going to …. If I told you how it turned out what would be the point? I will tell you that it is based while Holly is in the LEP academy, Trouble also is, but he had been in the LEP academy 3 years longer than Holly.

Chapter 1: Sorting

Trouble's POV

New recruit day, it's always the same, the scared looking recruit's in their tight, dull green, LEP t-shirt and shorts (you don't get to wear the ugly canary yellow jumpsuit 'till 4th year), even the girls!

They tried to give the girl's skirts, Root said it was so the girls could be easily defined, the rest of us knew that wasn't the reason, he just wanted to give the girls another disadvantage, but the Equal Rights office was screaming sexism, so the girls got shorts, and Root got redder.

The last two year's I had enjoyed watching the new recruits line up, trying not to look too scared, wondered what training divisions they would be sorted into. This year it was different, not only would I be paired with one of these recruits for the year, my brother was among them, it would be a miracle if he survived this camp, he was such a baby, his name, "Grub", was highly suited to him. Not that I don't care about him, I'm forever beating up bullies for him, and he's forever running to Mummy telling her how wonderful I am. That's why he joined the LEP Academy; he wants to be like me.

This year my neck is on the line, I fail and get kicked out of the academy if the recruit I'm paired with fails, the recruit just has to repeat 1st year, if I fail I get kicked out, the recruit has to repeat 1st year. This is meant to teach us the value of teamwork and being able to work with a superior or inferior officer. I hope I don't get paired with Grub, or anyone else incompetent. You can only get kicked out in your fourth year, in first year you can keep trying first year again until you reach 300 or you quit. Fourth year is when about half the LEP trainees get kicked out, for obvious reasons.

'Hey dude, look at that hot chick, hope I get paired with her,' said my friend Chix Verbal. He was always checking out the girls, hoping they would fall for him, he thought he was God's gift to woman. Although that chick was quite hot, but I wouldn't let Verbal know he was right.

'Get that dreamy look off your face, cadet! We don't have time for this!' snapped Wing Commander Vinyáyá. Whoop's, dosing off on the job again, not a good start. 'Get over and sit where you should be, now, Division 4.'

Yep, that's my division, D4LEPC91 (Division Four Lower Elements Police Cadet's Nineteen Ninety One), so far the best Division ever, the only division to all but one get through first year first time.

They were sorting the recruits into divisions now; the hot chick was in Division 4 (D4LEPC94), this meant she would be paired with someone in my division, I felt Chix tense beside me. Grub was in Division 2. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Now my division's turn to be given partners.
