Penny's Christmas Adventure

Home at last and Christmas Dinner

At the Fire Station,

Ellie had been working hard cleaning the station and preparing the other food for Christmas dinner while the others were out looking for Penny, Sarah, and James. She had just been finishing up and cleaning all the supplies when Sam's voice came on the radio. "Mercury to Base. Mercury to Base." Sam radioed.

"Hi, Sam. What's going on? Have you found Penny?"

"We have, Ellie. We also found the twins while we were at it. We're on our way back. I need you on standby to check over the twins and Penny for any other injuries, Helen needs to know if there was anything she missed."

"Roger that, Sam. I'll get the medical room ready."

"Thanks, Ellie. See you later. Out."

Ellie pocketed her radio and went to her locker. She needed to grab something for keeping herself busy while on light duty. Since Ellie was trained and licensed by the NHS, she was allowed to have her own set of scrubs for the medical exam room of the Fire Station. Her set of scrubs had the official Fire Service logo and they were made in two different colours. One set was red for Spring and Summer seasons and the other set was blue for the Fall and Winter seasons including Christmas time.

Out on the road,

Sam was leading the escort back to the fire station and then he saw everyone with Christmas presents and Christmas food for the Fire Station. They were standing right outside the station and Sam went to park Mercury in the garage. Everyone was heading there for a special assembly. Sam was surprised and then they parked all the vehicles in the garage of the station. Sam went out to Norman, Mandy, and Hannah. "What's going on? Is this like uh... How do I put this... A big Christmas gift for all of us?" Sam asked as everyone else was parking their vehicles.

"Yes indeed, Fireman Sam. We thought that to save Penny and Elvis some time cooking. We thought we could help you get the station ready for Christmas dinner. Mandy had her dad work on the turkey while Trevor helped him. No problems. Norman and Dilys had worked on the Christmas feast with pumpkin pie, and Figgy pudding. I helped my mum and dad with the hot chocolate and we brought some for Penny, the twins, and everyone who has worked hard keeping our town safe."

"That's... Very nice of you... Everyone... I guess it's joy to the world for all of us. Now, let's all get inside the station and celebrate Christmas."

Everyone cheered and they all walked to the station kitchen and Elvis had been surprised. They knew that there was not going to be a single call for them until the next day. Penny, Sarah, and James were with Ellie right alongside Venus who was towed into the Parking spot by Phoenix which was driven by Station Officer Steele. Sam went to the kitchen with everyone else until he saw Ellie with Sarah, Penny, and James. "Wow... Ellie... Where did you get these scrubs?" Asked Sam.

"Ah... I got these after I went through training and I am Licensed by the NHS. They said I am allowed and under Boyce's directive which was a few weeks ago before this day, I can wear these at the Station while on light duty. I got to find some way to keep busy. Right?"

"Right... Well, why don't you check them over while I get the Christmas dinner set up. I'll see you four up there."

Ellie, Sarah, James, and Penny went to the medical exam room which was right next to the shower on the other side of the briefing room. Sam went upstairs to find the others in the kitchen. Penny stayed with the twins the whole time. "How are you feeling right now, Penny?" Ellie asked her friend.

"It could've been worse. But I managed it perfectly and I did all I could to keep these two safe."

"Well, that was very brave of you, Penny. How are the twins?"
