"Alright gang." Terry announced as he walked into the break room with a blue lunchbox in his hands, sitting down at the table with Gina, Amy, and Neveah, all with the same blue lunchboxes. "Diet day four. How's everyone holding up?"

"Honestly, I'm going to last forever." Gina responded, raising her voice to the open break room door. "You hear that, bitches? I'm gonna last forever" She sang, holding her packet of three cashews.

"I'm doing great." Amy confessed with a smile. "This morning, the homeless guy on my stoop said my skin looked dope."

"I'm fine." Neveah shrugged as she opened her own lunchbox, internally grimacing at the minimal amount of food.

"What's going on?" Holt asked as he entered through the break room door with a mug. "Why do you all have matching bags?"

"We're doing a diet together. My wife found it." Terry explained, a smile playing on his lips as he spoke about his wife. "She heard about it at Mummy and Me Graphic Design. Wait, it might've been toddler karate. She takes our little ladies to so many classes, I can't keep it straight."

"Childhood is truly a time of wonder." Holt agreed.

"This diet is vert scientific, sir." Amy clarified. "All the meals are pre-planned and delivered to your doorstep."

"This is our breakfast." Neveah took over, a hesitant grimace flitting across her face as she looked at the food.

"An orange wedge, three cashew nuts, and a solitary grape." Holt spoke, a questioning edge to his tone.

"It's actually more than you realize." Amy admitted. "Sometimes I can't even finish all the grape."

"Well this seems unnecessary to me." Holt said, a dismissive tone to his voice. "You're all in perfect shape."

"You can always be healthier, sir." Terry shrugged, looking up at the captain.

"And I like the challenge" Amy piped up, a small grin on her face.

"I'm doing this for Mama Jeffords and that's it." Neveah commented as she leant on the back of the chair, the chair teetering on its two back legs.

"Plus, it's good team building." Terry took over again, "We're gonna get through this together." Gina fist-bumped Amy and Neveah, reaching down to set Neveah's chair down on the floor, wordlessly patting the red-head's shoulder. "Hey guys, pro tip. Lick the baggie. There's food molecules in there."

"Oh that's so smart" Gina awed, following Terry and Amy's lead in licking the inside of the bag. Neveah grimaced at them, setting down her empty bag, packing up her lunchbox.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Rosa questioned as she walked into Captain Holt's office, Neveah already sitting on the coach in the office, completely zoned out of the world as she played with her rings.
