The rookie Groupchat

Sassy Lucy Pt 3

Two hours later...

Tim Bradford: How's the positive leadership energy working out, sunshine?

Lucy Chen: Actually really well! I've helped three people with their reports and nobody's cried!

Tim Bradford: Yet.

Lucy Chen: Tim, your faith in me is truly inspiring.

Tim Bradford: I aim to please.

John Nolan: Are you two... flirting?

Lucy Chen: We're not flirting! We're engaging in professional banter!

Tim Bradford: With a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Lucy Chen: Tim brings out my inner sass. It's like a special talent.

Aaron Thorsen: Should we be concerned?

Angela Lopez: About what? Lucy's sass or the fact that Tim seems to be enjoying it?

Tim Bradford: I'm not enjoying anything.

Lucy Chen: He's totally enjoying it.

Tim Bradford: Chen.

Lucy Chen: Bradford.

Celina Juarez: The tension is palpable.

Lucy Chen: There's no tension! Just two highly professional colleagues engaging in witty repartee!

Tim Bradford: Witty is generous.

Lucy Chen: Says the man whose idea of wit is telling rookies their handwriting looks like "chicken scratch in a blender."

Tim Bradford: That was accurate.

Lucy Chen: See? This is what I deal with. Pure poetry.

Nyla Harper: You two are like an old married couple.

Lucy Chen: We are NOT like a married couple!

Tim Bradford: Married couples actually like each other.

Lucy Chen: Wow. Just... wow. The audacity.

Tim Bradford: The truth hurts, Chen.

Lucy Chen: You know what? I take back every nice thing I've ever said about you.

Tim Bradford: What nice things?

Lucy Chen: That you're a good training officer! That you care about your rookies! That underneath that grumpy exterior, you're actually—

Tim Bradford: Careful, Chen. Don't ruin my reputation.

Wade Grey: Are you two done?

Lucy Chen: We're never done. Tim is like that song that gets stuck in your head.

Tim Bradford: Annoying and repetitive?

Lucy Chen: I was going to say persistent and hard to ignore, but sure. Let's go with your version.

John Nolan: This is better than cable TV.

Aaron Thorsen: Should we get popcorn?

Angela Lopez: I'm here for it. Keep going, you two.
