"I am very sorry that I have been ignoring you this morning Bi Mat. Can you forgive me?" Stacy asks the regal cat whimsically. She even gives her a curtsy.

"Goodbye Ba, I'll see you when I get home from school. I am going to go wait for Chris at the front door." she says hugging the older woman enthusiastically before scampering out of the kitchen to wait by the door for her Beau.

Lana rinsed her cup in the sink after a couple of quick gulps. "I'll help you, daddy. I want to get to school a little earlier." Giving her grandma a quick kiss goodbye, she slipped on her coat, tossing her bookbag over one shoulder and wrapped the scarf around herself as she followed her father outside to help him de-snow and de-ice the car. The cold air always felt brisk and wonderful, never as wonderful as when she was speeding down a slope on her board, but still a great feeling indeed.

"Sounds like a plan to me, Mike," Linh replied. "You know, cases like this, I usually feel worse for the person who stumbles on to the victim. That's always traumatic. Hope Olsen's granddaughter isn't too scarred from this."

Linh got along well with Mike. He didn't seem to let his family history give him too much of an attitude, at least most of the time. Some of the other guys at the station, though, could be just plain terrible all of the time.

"Alright Lorenzo," his mom agreed. "Just let me know. And don't be home late!" She stuck the dishes in the dishwasher before grabbing her own things and heading into the garage.

OOC: unless there's anyting else you want to do at home, I'll post the school arrivals shortly

Mrs. Murphy smiled. "Of course! I always save some for my growing baby!" She parceled out the remainder of the porridge into his bowl before taking the pot to the sink to wash it. There was a long pause, and then she went on while drying the pot. "Do you want to try riding the bus today, Macario?" she asked rather casually.

DuPries home, Oak Grove

Before long Mr. DuPries had the car out in the driveway warming up, with him and Lana sitting inside waiting. Soon Chris came running around the fence from next door, coat half-zipped and bookbag trailing in one hand. His hair looked like it was still wet, and at first he ran towards the car, but then stopped and took a few steps towards Stacy as she emerged from the house. "Heeeeeeey..." he greeted with a big dopey grin.

Stacy took a few steps towards Chris before remembering to shut the door. Blushing she closed it and kisssed him taking his hand and leading him to the car and her waiting family members.

Hehe, him being around really does make do dopey stuff, and I don't even care. It really must be love. God he is soo perfect. She thinks to herself stiffling a giggle.

"I love you." she says simply returning his Dopey grin, and releasing his hand only long enough for her to get in the car. She gives Lana a pleading look to get her to let Chris sit next to her.

"So how do I look? I know you like the skirt, but all the rest of it?" she asks a little nervously as she waits for everyone toget in the car and for them to leave.

Pulaski Hospital, West Side

"That's true," Mike agreed as Linh backed the ambulance up and then started down the hospital's drive towards the street. "I think she'll be fine, though. 's'alot better than finding him dead. That's the one they never get over."

Traffic was starting to pick up now, though it certainly wasn't nearly as bad as it would have been on the highways. Rush hour pretty much never ended there - 7am and 5pm were just the times when traffic came to a full halt. But down in the city things were tolerable. It wasn't too long at all before they were pulling back into the station.

Houseton Street Station, West Side, 6:57am

"Hey, Tran and Gardola are back!" one of the other guys called as Linh and Mike got out of their ambulance. There was a small chuckle among the gathered firefighters and EMTs at the expense of the two 'lucky' ones who got to take the early morning call. "Come on and have some chow!"

"Hi Lana, Mr. DuPries!" Chris said as he got in the car. "Um...you guys always look nice, Stace," he answered, glancing at Richard in the front seat. "My mom says you've got good fashion sense." Chris smiled goofily at Stacy as they pulled out and started on the way to school.

Lana rolled her eyes, crossing her legs as she leaned back in her seat, watching the trees fly on by.

"His broad clear brow in sunlight glowed;
On burnished hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flowed
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flashed into the crystal mirror,
'Tirra lirra,' by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot,"*

she spoke with a slight smirk, unaware of how prophetic her little disparaging remark was or how perceptive either.
