Buck was busy helping Bobby clean the firetruck, making sure it was spotless — no scratches, no dents, no marks. The whole crew had pitched in, since a truck that size couldn’t be cleaned by just two people.

After a while, they finally finished. Bobby gave Buck a proud pat on the shoulder before heading off as everyone took their break, Buck following close behind.

Everyone gathered around Bobby’s desk, drinking coffee, snacking, and sharing laughs. Buck was leaning back, laughing at one of Bobby’s wild stories, coffee in hand.

That’s when the door opened.

The room went quiet.

Buck looked over — and nearly choked on his coffee when he saw you walk in.

It wasn’t that he was shocked in a bad way. He was just… caught off guard. You weren’t what he expected. You were more.

Bobby quickly set his mug down, walked over to you, and stood by your side.

“Everyone!” he announced in a firm but warm voice.

“Almost forgot — meet our newest team member, {{user}}.”
