Just an idea I've had in my head for awhile now. There will be Brittana in the future and also appearances by other Glee members.

I don't own anything.

Hope some people like. :]

"Try to save the lives that can be saved… and accept those that can't"

Santana Lopez, a 3rd year paramedic, read the inscription just as she did everyday as she entered the firehouse. She wanted to personally castrate whoever thought that something like that would be motivational to any person who read it. It only reminded Santana of all the people that have died after calling for her help.

Like always, she quickly shook off those feelings and reminded herself that she was Santana Lopez and that she didn't get attached to people, especially those who she met through her job.

She made her way to the second floor and saw Mike Chang, Sam Evans, Noah Puckerman and Tina Cohen-Chang in the kitchen.

"I have house babysitting duties today." Tina said as Santana was able to catch the tail end of their conversation. She noticed that her usual partner, Lauren Zizes, wasn't there and she figured she must have called in for the day. That would explain why Tina wasn't riding that day and why Lauren wasn't sticking her nose in today's gossip.

"Lopez!" Mike said as he noticed the girl. "How was your long weekend?"

"Wasn't long enough." She replied with a playful smile.

"Oh please, you obviously missed us." Sam and his huge mouth said.

"And as a welcome back gift, you are riding with the Puckzilla today." Noah said as everyone rolled their eyes in response.

"What? Are you kidding me? Tina, he's your usual partner so why the hell are you staying here."

"He's my usual partner. That's exactly why I'm staying here. It's like an unofficial day off."

"Hey, I'm not that bad to ride with." Noah said trying, yet failing, at defending himself. Everyone just responded with laughter. "I'm not."

Santana cursed silently under her breath in Spanish as she made her way towards the locker room. It took her less than 5 minutes to change into her uniform and make her way back into the kitchen.

"Are you guys heading out?" She asked directing the question towards Sam and Mike.

"Yeah, Lt. Schuester wants us all on the roads before 12 pm." Mike said taking a sip of his water. Santana looked up and saw that it was only a few minutes until noon.

"Want to just go now, Lopez?" Noah asked and Santana nodded. They said their goodbyes to the other three. They made their way onto Canal Street, where Engine 9 was located, and headed towards their ambulance.

Noah volunteered to drive first since he was used to this particular bus. Santana took the time to looks over some charts and when that got boring she took out a textbook. Noah looked over at her.

"So you really are trying to be a doctor?" He asked noting the book the girl was reading. Despite having already finished medical school, Santana liked to always be learning as much as she could.

"Yeah, that's the plan."

"Well, this sure as hell is good practice. More hands on, you know?" Santana nodded. Noah knew that Santana took the job at Engine 9 when she was still in medical school. He wasn't quite sure why she was still there and not interning at some hospital but he decided against questioning it anymore. He could tell she really wasn't up for talking.

The two of them had always had a really weird relationship. They were partners way back when they were both rookies on the job and Noah made things awkward everyday with his failed attempts to make his move on her. However, they did surprisingly get past that and became good friends. It happened after they had just returned from a bad call that involved children and the two went to a bar afterwards. She was the friend that Noah desperately needed and even though she wasn't showing it now, he knew she needed him just as much.

"God, I'm so bored." He said after several moments of silence.

"Don't say it." Santana murmured under her breath.

"I can feel it. It's going to be a slow day." He said and Santana dropped her highlighter and put the textbook down.

"Well, there goes the slow day."

"Come on, you don't actually believe that, do you?"

"Yes, I do. Every time someone says they are bored or it's a slow day, less than 30 minutes later a huge ass call comes in. You don't believe me then just wait and see for yourself."

Noah noticed a pizzeria on the corner of the street he was turning onto and stopped the bus.

"What are you doing?" Santana asked.

"If this is going to be a busy day, then I need some food in me first." Noah said as she rolled her eyes at him. "Want anything?" She nodded indicating no and then he headed inside.

Santana let out a sigh and enjoyed the peace because she knew the floodgates were about to open at any moment.

Sure enough, moments later, the radio in the ambulance buzzed.

"Central to 55: we have a multiple car accident on the West Side Highway at the Holland Tunnel. Need all hands on deck for this one."

"Shit." Santana said before responding. "Central this is 55. We are approximately 5 blocks away and will be there asap."

"Copy that."

Santana then switched on her personal radio. "Puckerman, you better be inhaling those pizzas because we have a call." She said before moving into the driver's seat.

Noah returned back to the bus in less than 1 minute. He had a pizza in hand and an apologetic look on his face.

"So much for the slow day." He said jokingly as Santana shot him a death glare. "What do we got?"

"Multiple car crash by the Holland Tunnel. They didn't say anything else but it must be pretty bad cause they need all hands."

"Shit." He said as Santana put on the sirens and started to drive towards the accident.
