So, it is pretty cold at Rutherford. It was a good race, except from the single *cough* douchebag *cough* who thought that yelling profanities at fourteen year olds after crashing into them was a good idea. Especially right where everyone was crowded around. Sorry to everyone at Newcastle Uni Rowing for that official warning, but our cox was really upset about it. (The rest of us were merely murderous.)

Please Review! I hope you like this!

"What are you doing up there?" Lily asked incredulously, pausing in her search for her name badge to look up at the night's senior who was stood on the coffee table.

"Being heard." Ethan replied, only slightly exasperated. He cleared his throat slightly and continued. "As you all know I am tonight's senior." He made a little sardonic cheer for himself, as Lofty wandered in carrying a plastic torso under his arm. Lofty frowned at the doctor on the table and asked the room at large.

"What..?"

Robyn grinned, wandering across the room.

"Ethan is making speech." She replied over the background chatter. Ethan desperately tried to get everyone's attention and started again. Rita closed the door behind her, and Luice immediately pushed it back open. She brushed off Rita's apology and frowned at Max groaning on the floor.

"What the shits?" She muttered.

"What's he doing up there?" Rita asked nodding at Ethan.

"Being heard." Noel answered.

"What's he doing down there?" She asked again, this time in regard to Max.

"Being a nerd." Robyn laughed, throwing her orange at him. Lucie suddenly noticed the senior stood on the table and jumped backwards in shock. Robyn laughed at her expression, an honest, disbelieving laugh.

"Did you seriously not notice him?" She asked.

"Ah, you are all much taller than me! By how much doesn't really compute." She responded, a laughing tone in her voice.

"Lucie?" Ethan pleaded. She made a zipping motion across her lips in a typical childish fashion. "Max could you get up now?" Ethan continued. Max groaned and rolled across to the side, bumping into Lucie and Robyn's calves. Lucie looked down, exasperated laugh coming out in the form of her exhaling more air than usual through her nose.

Lucie nudged Lily lightly and smiled.

"Play nice." She teased. "He's doing his best."

Lily rolled her eyes and moved off towards to the wards. Lucie smiled at Ethan and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"You'll do fine mate." She assured him before hurrying down the corridor after Lily. It was mostly deserted and she caught up with her easily.

"So," she said, suggestively raising an eyebrow.

"So, what?" Lily asked her, without looking round. Lucie stepped in front of her, grinning widely.

"You know exactly what I'm implying." She replied, "He likes you, so...?"

Lily looked at her, her expression dead-pan.

"Dr Hardy is a colleague and at a stretch, my friend. I find highly doubtful he 'likes' me." She replied. Lucie punched her lightly.

"You aren't serious? It is possibly the most obvious thing in this ED!" She retorted. Lily raised an eyebrow at her.

"Maybe you can attempt to convince me another time, we have patients to treat."

Lucie hung around the desk as Lily and Robyn came across to the computer. Robyn leaned across the desk and sighed.

"A pity really, underneath all that bruising, he's quite fit." She mused. Lily barely spared her a glance. Lucie raised an eyebrow, and leant on the other side of the desk.

"Ooh." She grinned. "Was Lily just being hit on?"

Robyn nodded, the beginnings of a smirk forming on her face. Lucie chuckled quietly.

"Come on. I need details." She grabbed Robyn's arm and started to wander off. Then she paused and turned around.

"You'd better watch out, Ethan might get jealous." She teased. A police officer came to the desk as she turned. Lucie waited as the constable asked Lily about a patient. The detective inspector came up behind her, crossed arms and calmly addressed the constable. Lucie didn't quite catch the words spoken, but moved back to Lily's side as she asked.

"Staff room, office? Is there anywhere we can do this?" It wasn't a particularly inviting tone, considering she was the one asking.

"How about back at your station?" Lucie replied, a hint of sarcasm edging her tone. The inspector frowned.

"Do I know you?" She snapped, recognition clouding her face.

"Sarah would say hi, but she's a little, well, dead." Lucie replied. "Tell Alex I said hi, and she's welcome at the funeral."

The inspector scowled and turned away.

"My car, now." She snapped at the young constable. Robyn frowned at Lucie.

"Alex?" She queried.

"The inspector's daughter. Her and sister dated for a while. She seems to think... How did she put it?" Lucie racked her brain and then grinned. "Ah, yeah. That a, my entire family was gay and she thought we were 'corrupting her daughter with our gay filth'."

Robyn frowned.

"Are you? Gay, I mean."

Lucie laughed.

"If I am, Dr Knight is going to have a pretty unpleasant surprise." She joked, turning away.

"Wait. WHAT?" Robyn yelled after her. Lily shook her head.

"Surely you can't be that unobservant." She remarked.

Lily rushed around the corner into Resus with the young woman on the trolley. Lucie caught sight of her and elbowed Ethan.

"Get in there." She insisted. Ethan barely had to think, before hurrying through the double doors. Lily pushed down firmly repeatedly on Janie's chest.

"Do you want me to take over?" He asked.

"I'm fine." Lily replied immediately, her breath catching slightly.

"Please." Ethan didn't ask it. Lily allowed him to place his hands over Janie's chest and continue to pump her heart for her.

"Let's push the adrenaline." He insisted. Lily awkwardly leaned over the immobilised patient and injected a dose of adrenaline into her side.

Lucie entered the room and stood aside a little. Lily looked sideways at Lucie, and retook up her place over Janie's chest. She began to pound her with excessive vigour. Charlie looked over at Ethan.

"Lily." He said gently.

"Anything?" She demanded. Silence met her question. "I don't understand." She muttered. Lucie bit her lip and said softly.

"Lily, you know the chances of recovering someone who's flatlining. It's been too long."

Ethan looked around at everyone, despite Lily still pushing down on Janie's heart.

"Is everyone happy that we've stopped?"

"Happy?!" Lily spat.

"You know what I mean." Ethan replied quietly, trying not to provoke her. "Lily."

Lily kept going. Lucie gently pulled her away, and Lily quickly pushed her hand off.

"Don't you have patients to treat?" She snapped.
