"Well, that call definitely robbed me of my appetite." Paul stated his face contorting with disgust

"Yeah, who'd have thought that hipsters and hatchets and beer would be a bad idea?" Paul stated almost mockingly

"Hey, don't knock it." Y/n told him with a laugh "Axe throwing is the new hot thing."

"Yeah, maybe not so hot after today." Paul shook his head

"It's a pretty cool idea for a date, if somebody wanted to step up his game." Mateo looked at cap

"Yeah Mateo" y/n told him making the rest of the team laugh as she took off her helmet

"No, cap"

"There will be no stepping up of any game because my game is just fine." Owen defended

"Bland chicken dinner is not game." Y/n told him as she took off her turnouts

"Yeah cap,Girls wanna be surprised." Mateo agreed

"What are y'all squabbling about?" Kids asked butting in

"Nothing. It's not firehouse talk." Cap dismissed it

"Fine." Mateo shrugged "We'll wait until we're home to discuss your hot date tomorrow."

"Heyy" Paul stated more intrigued than ever

"The one you met on my dating app?" Marjan asked a teasing smile coming to her face

"Yes. And I didn't kidnap her." Owen rolled his eyes "I borrowed a car to save a child. She was only held against her will very briefly."

"And they say romance is dead." Paul said looking at mateo

"No, it won't be, if somebody surprises her with something special tomorrow." Mateo continued

"Okay, Catherine, like me, is a type-A master of the universe." Owen continued "We're organized, value time management. And you know what we hate?"

Judd raised his hand making y/n stiffle a laugh, Owen pointed to him as if to tell him to go on "Bland chicken?"

This made them all laugh

"Surprises." Owen corrrected n
"The answer is surprises."

"Captain Strand?" One of the other firefighters went to them making him turn and face him

"Yeah."

"You got a delivery." He continued

"Is it my vegetable spiralizer?"

"No, it's, uh, it's not that."

"I want to know." Marjan said as they then followed Owen until they stopped and saw the bird
