Stella's POV: it's the first day without Kelly working at the firehouse. Which sucks not having him but he plans on not staying at OFI for not long so that's good. But at least I got Brett and Emily to hang out with. Also I at least can go home and see him. Right now me and Brett are playing this hand game called miss Mary Mack when we walk toward the buffing room when the chief stop us
CB= ladies
S= chief
CB= I just wanted to let you know I signed you up for the Academy

S= I don't know if I even remember that conditioning Routine
SB= I don't know if you can remember Miss
Mary Mack that will be cake
( Brett walks away )
I go to my bed and see if I have the physical conditioning booklet in my stuff so I can look over it. As I'm looking for a calluses me a text to see how it's going. So instead of answering him back and he said to call him to fill him in on everything
K= hey babe how's it going without me there
S= not too bad how's it going there do you miss the fire house yet
K= oh yeah it's kind of boring here
S= I bet so the reason I called you was to let you know I won't be home right after shift

S= thanks babe( Herman yells) well I guess Herman needs me so I will say goodbye talk to you later
K= all right have fun talk to you later
( I hang up with him)
The next day
As I am grabbing my stuff in my locker I noticed the time on my watch and it was almost time I had to be at the Academy to teach a class so I grab my stuff and run toward my car and head toward the Academy. Once I arrive I will change into the instructor outfit and go look for the chief in charge
S= chief Benton
CBA= you must be Stella Kidd
S= yes sir
CBA= Wallace speaks so highly of you I thought I might need a ladder to shake your hand
S= he's a great chief I just try and do right by him
CBA= I expect nothing less so you remember physical conditioning
S=Yeah
CBA= you'll have 20 cadets two classes
S= two

S= right yes agreed
CBA= you came directly from shift
S= yes I did
CBA= you might wanna alter your schedule
S= well I probably can't do...
CBA= cadets this is your instructor Stella Kidd when she says jump you don't say anything because you will already be jumping got it

59,...58...,57...,56 ...,,,,
General POV: The first color of the episode was an engine call and they called to a house where the couch caught on fire and the fire that lives there was trapped so once they saved her Herman and his team did their overhaul Herman looked under the couch and notice that person who made the couch that caught on fire so fast was the same company that made the mattress that was in the factory that killed Otis. So Herman told Matt and the chief about the issue and Herman decide he wanted to talk to the ceo of the company and Matt decide to come along when they when to talk to him. But when they showed up the ceo was busy so Herman came up with a plan of waiting outside the building until he came out and he call the whole firehouse to join him
CR= hey how long you been here Lieutenant
H= oh hour number four
MC= any activity
H= not much they think they can outlast me
M= well then they definitely don't know who they are dealing with
CR= so we just sit here
M= oh this is nothing you should've seen Herman when we had this graffiti artist that was tagging at 51
H= hup here we go

H= we're not going anywhere until your CEO comes out here and talks to me
SG= you can't sit here it's private properly

H= all right listen I know that you're just trying to do your job Marvin and you seem like a great guy I would be happy to buy you a beer someday when you're off duty but let me be clear we were all firefighters here and we all well practice at sitting around so we are not leaving until we get to talk to your CEO
( Marvin walks away and Kelly come)

S= somebody say my name ( everyone cheers)
MC= hey kiddo
S= my legs are about to fail off
CZ= oh that's a shame I was hoping that you could demonstrate some mountain climbers for us
S= don't even joke ( laughs)
H= Marvin
SG= look I'm just telling you that you're wasting your time all right Mr. Carrington is in Toledo on a business trip but work here and I did not tell you guys he's back next Wednesday
H= I really appreciate that next time though no lawn chairs all right I just got to figure out a way to go bigger
SG= don't do anything crazy
H= yeah okay guys let's pack it up we're moving on to Plan B
BG= Whoa what's plan B
H= uh do some brainstorming over at Molly's 15% off all tap been okay ... oh and that's discount applies to you too Marvin
They head off to Molly's to brainstorm some ideas to get the ceo attention for Wednesday
Stella's POV: after a while for brainstorming some ideas we couldn't come up with any so we all head home once I get home I felt so tried so I head straight to bed and once my head hit the pillow I fall asleep. The next morning what is a shift day so I get up and head to work. I still felt pretty tired from teaching all the classes and working a full shift but I don't think nothing of it at first because I'm just a little tied up working a little extra. When I get to work I decided to grab cup of coffee to try to wake me up within five minutes the bells go off. The call was about some dude that pinned underneath a big heavy sign so Casey had truck try and lift the sign up so that Brett and Emily can slide him out all of sudden I zoned out where I couldn't move or hear Casey yell my name once I focus I could tell he was mad at me. Once the guy was with Emily and Brett I try to say sorry to Casey for my actions and he didn't want it so we cleaned the street up and head back to the firehouse and I decide to try again to say sorry again to Casey
S= Captain I'm just wanted to say I'm real sorry about my performance on the call today
MC= What am I supposed to put in the report you spaced out, that mouch was quicker than you
S= it won't happen again
MC= i'm already training one new firefighter can't be training two
S= I understand
MC= whatever you got going on in your life don't carry it with you on the truck when those bells go off you are ready, you are prepared, you are focus every single time do I make myself clear
S= yes captain
MC= dismissed
I walk away from Casey's office and head to the bathroom to put some water on my face and then I head back to my bed so I can think about how I need to work with my new schedule that's going on. It's in the shift and I am sitting on a bench when Emily and Brett walked by me
EF= yo what's up
S= what
EF= your locker's over there
S= yeah no uh Cruz and mouch were taking up the whole bench so I just
SB= are you okay
S=Yeah yeah
EF= well make sure you don't miss my first spin class I'm gonna have bodies dropping in T minus two hours
SB=I'll be there
S= yeah I think I'm gonna um good luck I just gonna catch a few winks
EF= all right no problem get some rest
Once I left the firehouse I head straight home to get some rest. When I walk in the door I see Kelly sitting on the couch
K= hey
S= hi (sits down on the couch)
K= morning sunshine (kiss her)
S= do I look like a zombie because I feel like one
K= A hot zombie maybe( laughs) if you want to take that shit off and get some rest then do it
S= no way... no chief is giving me all these amazing opportunities and I'm I just don't want him to think I don't have the goods
K= he won't he'll think you're human
S= i'm not missing a shift all I Gotta do is get a solid power nap and I'm fine ( they kiss and laugh) i'll see you on the other side
Stella gets up and walks to the bedroom while Kelly has a worried look on his face
General POV; Herman finally talk to the CEO about changing the materials in his products so that nobody else dies because of the furniture
Authors note: Who else thought that Matt was being a little mean towards Stella like shouldn't he know that she is working overtime at the Academy and at the firehouse since he lives with Stella and Kelly. Especially since Cruz knew what she was doing. Also loved when Matt said my favorite lieutenant as in Kelly and Herman thought Matt didn't like him as much but it was a joke and he meant squad Lieutenant.
