it was the nightshift at the fire station, Sam was glad it was just him and Penny, the two of them were on a 24 hour shift whereas Steele and Elvis were on  a 12 hour day one

 "well Penny, time for you and me to start practicing for next years 3-legged-race seeing as Elvis will be staying behind next time" he joked 

"Sam." Penny said bluntly "that's next year" she told him "why not just start practising nearer the time" she told him sipping  her tea. Sam almost spat out his tea, he couldn't believe he was hearing this from Penny, it didn't sound like her at all.

"I can't believe I'm hearing this from you" Sam told her, he was glad it was just them on the nightshift, they always had fun  in whatever they did, weather it was a training drill or a game of 'what am I?'. "you were the one who told me that practice make perfect" he reminded her as she hummed something to herself quietly before going to make a cup of tea

"want one?" she asked

"sure" he smiled at her as she refilled the cups and got some food out the fridge and cupboard

"it wasn't the same without you today y'know" he told her, Penny had always been his partner in the race since the competition began a few years ago. They had always worked well in it and during drills and rescues. 

"here we go" she said quietly as she placed the cups down on the table where they were sitting 

"so, up for a game of 'what am I?" he laughed as she got the game from the shelf and placed it on the table. The night was uneventful, everyone was tired from the race and had forchently  not started any fires. when Elvis and Steele arrived the  next morning they found Sam and Penny engrossed in  a game of who am I with Penny trying to guess.
