That was a nice, cute little comedic story, Julia. =) Your fluff
makes a refreshing change from all the stories about Rachel's death...
and Frank dying... ;)
At first I was wondering how Rachel could *possibly* de-stress
herself, but I guess she can achieve anything when she puts her mind
to it. When Frank joined forces the fun *really* began - the bit with
Tommy and Helen was funny. Emma and Dave were sweet, congratulating
each other. =) Actually, I was glad you got most of the Rats into
it - they all need to unwind a bit. ;) Frank and Rachel kissing at
the end was typical, but still cool.Good story!Vanessa

Subject: Re: 10 Tips to Stress Lessoh I just love all your little "fluff"
----------
Rachel Goldstein threw down her pen with disgust, the paper in front of
her mocking her with its whiteness. White, unmarked, untouched. She just
couldn't such a cool beginning. loving it already.
keep her mind on the job today, she didn't know why. Things were just
ganging up on her, forcing her mind to wander to trivial matters instead of
doing the allready overdue reports for Helen. She gave a sigh of
frustration and leaned back in her chair, too tired to fight with the paper
anymore. Helen Blakemore chose that moment to flounce into the office
holding a few brightly coloured peices of paper.
I hate it when people 'flounce' when I'm not in a good mood.
"Cheer up Rach, tomorrow's Stress Less Day!" Helen announced, pinning
the bright yellow poster up on the wall oppisite Rachel's desk. She also
pinned several other brightly coloured Mental Health posters around theoffice.
" Helen, what ARE you doing? We dont need those in here, we're sposed to be
WORKING remember, not Stress Lessing" Rachel sneered, eyeing off the poster.
"On the contrary my dear Rachel, you two have been under alot of pressure
lately and I dont want my two FAVOURITE detectives wearing themselves out"
Helen chanted."But..." Rachel stuttered, only to be cut off by Helen.
" It STAYS, Rachel. End of Story."this is very Helen, so determined.
"Alright alright" Rachel sighed, she couldn't be bothered fighting with
Helen right now. She gotup to leave, intent on doing the paperwork tomorrow
when Helen stepped into her path.
" And where are you going?" She asked innocently
" Home. We're supposed to Stress Less remember?" Rachel pointed to the sign.
"Yeah, but thats tomorrow! That report is so late its gonna be coming in
next Christmas at the rate you're going. I want it finished TOMORROW" Helen
dictated. As much as she knew the kinda pressure Rachel worked under, Jeff
was getting stroppy about the report, and she didn't want to get her bum
kicked, not again.
Rachel sighed, leaning over her desk and grabbing the file that
contained the report.
"Fine, I'll do it tonight" she said reluctantly, as she stepped around
Helen and was off before she could be stopped. **********
Rachel flounced into the office the next day, smiling brightly as she
passed through the glass doors.this is gonna be good.
"Morning Helen!" she announced happily, knowing that Helen was probably
nose deep in paperwork.
Rachel trotted up the stairs and into her office, plonking her bag and file
on her chair before walking over to Frank and giving him a big HUG!!!
After she released him, Frank just looked at her with a weird
expression on his face, he opened and closed his mouth a few times before
stuttering"What the hell was that all about!?!"
Rachel looked quite taken back by the sharpish remark. She looked at
him innocently, and pointed to the sign, one of the little pictures was
entitled 'be at peace'.
"Peace Frank, if only for one day" Frank looked at her as if to say 'you've
got to be kidding'
Rachel flopped down at her desk and just smiled at him, today was going to
be FUN! She looked at the sign again, 9 more things to do.
oh this is just great.
About an hour later Helen found a heap of papers on her desk, some
completed, some still blank. A yellow post-it note was attached to the
front. 'Delegate some of your work'. LOL!
*Rachel* Helen fumed, she knew Rachel was going to make this day hell for
all of them. Thinking back, Helen tried to remember how many signs she had
put up, about 9 in total, although she couldn't be sure where.
*hell* she thought * I need a break* and off she headed to the meal room.
Rachel and Frank breezed into the meal room, sure that they would find
their next targets there. Surely enough Helen and Tommy were sitting at a
table talking. Frank dropped a post-it note on the table in front of them.
'Hug your dog, Kiss your cat' Rachel wrapped her arms around Tommy, hugging
him tightly as Frank dropped kisses on Helen's nose. They both grinned as
they took off to catch their next victims.
Hmmm, these two together, could be lethal. or just extremely amusing.
Tommy looked at Helen strangely.
"What was all that about?" he asked, still slightly bemused that he had
been on the receiving end of a 'Rachel' hug.
stars in his eyes. it's quite funny how everyone is so much in awe ofRachel.
Helen just looked at him and pointed to the bright yellow sign. 3 down, 7
to go. Funnily enough, the next picture on the poster was entitled 'do
lunch'. Going over to the D's office, surely enough a sign was posted on
their door. 'Doing Lunch, shan't be long :) 'that's so cute.
Helen fumed and stalked off to her own office, wondering how the hell she
was going to explain this to Jeff. Glancing at the yellow poster hanging in
her own office, she wondered what was on their agenda next.
Surely enough the next goal was achieved shortly after the return of
the two pranking detectives. The sound of laughter echoes throughout the
station. Peeking through the door, Helen realised the source of the laughter.
Rachel and Frank were splitting themselves laughing, they had hired a
classic comedy video from the video store and were in hysterics in the
office, the TV blaring in front of them. Helen glanced at the ill-fated
sign on the office wall, looking to see the next objective. 'Just have a
good laugh' Helen debated going in and blasting them for wating Police
time when she realised that the whole point of the day was to Stress Less.
Looking at the sign again the next objective read 'Look on the funny side'.
Helen looked at the D's, who at this time was just about rolling around on
the floor with laughter, and burst out laughing herself before turning and
going back to her own office.
Rachel paused in her hysterics just long enough to see Helen giggling
and retreating back into her own office. Thinking *thats another one down!*
she turned her attention back to the video, which wasn't REALLY that funny,
but she and Frank had been trying all sorts of things to make each other
laugh for the past hour, and now both were in hysterics.
another typical Frank and Rachel thing to do. when they get together and
get hyperactive, they do it well.
Jeff Hawker sighed and glanced at his watch. His entire senior staff
seemed to be acting a little strangly, but from his office he failed to see
what was ACTUALLY wrong. He glanced at the bright yellow poster Helen had
hung on his wall. Reading one of the objectives he saw one that read 'Relax
into reading'.
*Such a good idea* he thought, putting down the file he was studying and
picking up his novel, determined to relax, if only for a short while.
Taylor Johnson was bored, there was nothing going on at the front desk
and noone had even complained about a speeding boat. Sighing she looked
across to the bright yellow sign that was pinned to the notice board. 'Make
your own decisions and acheive some new goals for yourself'
*There's an idea* she thought, scampering off to find Gavin, there was ONE
goal that she wanted to acheive herself. Grinning she ran up to him and
planted a huge kiss on his cheek.
"My place after work" she whispered into his ear before running off again.
Mission Accomplished!awwww!
Dave McCal dragged himself back into the Diver's Area, another body had
been recovered, another report to fill in, another day at the office.
Flopping down ina chair he noticed Woodsie looking down, depressed by their
latest discovery. He looked at the bright yellow sign above her head.
" Good job Woodsie, you've done well" he said, following the directive on
the sign 'Accept a compliment and give one back'
"Thanks boss, you did well too" she smiled at him. Another happy face in
the station. That left only ONE objective to be accomplished.another awwww!
Rachel and Frank looked around themselves, seeing objectives being
accomplished everywhere. Tayler had done one, Helen, Jeff and even Dave and
Woodsie had all made efforts to 'Stress Less'. Looking up at the sign once
more, Rachel noticed only one objective had yet to be accomplished. She
looked at Frank, who in turn was looking at Woodsie and Dave, a grin
forming on her face. Grabbing his shoulder she span him around and kissed
him full on the lips. She registered the shock on Frank's face, and was
gratefuly releived when he joined in the fun, fully returning the kiss.
Hoots and whistles from the enthusiastic office bystanders echoed around
them. The final objective had been completed.
'Be Daring - do something you have always wanted to do, but were afraid to
take that step'Happy Stress Less Day! Finis.
and what a sweet ending! the whole thing was hilarious and just such a
great fanfic. keep the fluff coming!!
