This time, on Bondi Rescue.. [Y/N] get’s into a heated argument with her dad about living with Jethro, Keepin’ the music alive, Bondi style, and a lifeguard gets injured while performing a rescue.
~~~
Singlets looked at his daughter, slightly confused and nodded.
“Yeah. What’s goin’ on? Did you get evicted?” He asked. [Y/N] shook her head.
“No, no, nothin’ like that.” She let out a shaky breath. “Um, I’ve actually moved into a new apartment and I have a new roommate. And that roommate is Jethro.” She said. Singlets frowned. He knew that Jethro and [Y/N] were dating. In his mind, they weren’t far enough into the relationship to start living together, even though she and Jethro had been dating for about two years.
“You told us you were living on your own,” Singlets said. [Y/N] sighed and closed her eyes and nodded. “And yet, I find out that you’ve been living with Jethro this whole time?” He asked. [Y/N] sighed.
“Dad, it’s not like we’re planning to run away together. Jethro and I are together, and we’re living together.” She said. Singlets sighed and turned away, running a hand down his face. “Dad, can’t you at least be happy for me? I’ve living with the man I love!” She said. Singlets looked at her.
“And how do I know that he isn’t hurting you when you’re living with ‘im?” Singlets asked. [Y/N]’s mouth dropped open in shock.
“Do you honestly think that low of Jethro? You know him, dad! You know he would never hurt me!” She shouted. Singlets shook his head.
“Apparently I don’t even know my own daughter since she’s been keeping secrets from me!” He shouted. Tears started to fill [Y/N]’s eyes.
“I’m not a kid anymore, dad! You can’t control my life!” She shouted. With that, she stormed out of the tower. “Bondi Central to Lifeguards. I’m takin’ a break from tower duty. If anyone would like to take my place, please fell free to do so.” She said.
I’ll take over for you, [Y/N]. Kerrbox radioed back. He had been on the Rhino with Maxi. He needed a break anyway. [Y/N] nodded.
“Yeah, copy that, mate. I’m on my way.” She made her way to the Rhino, taking Kerrbox’s place. “I’ll give ya a lift to the tower.” She said. Kerrbox hopped onto the back of the Rhino, letting [Y/N] drive it up to the tower.
While keeping a look out and trying to direct swimmers to the flags, Maxi took this chance to ask [Y/N] about her current mood.
“You alright?” He asked. [Y/N] kept looking around, trying to keep an eye out for any lost children, parents in distress or any struggling swimmers.
“I’m just peachy. Why?” She asked. Maxi sighed.
“It just seems like you’re on edge.” He said. [Y/N] nodded.
“Yeah. Let’s save the chat for after we rescue people.” She said. Maxi nodded, knowing that the conversation was over.
~~~
Mid-afternoon. Huge waves and gale-force winds, have cleared the beach of people. Except, for one man. The lifeguards who were still on duty were watching the man. He seemed to be listening to music and waving his arms around like he was dancing, facing the waves.
“There’s no way he can’t be cold.” [Y/N] said, sitting next to Jethro. The tension was still there from when [Y/N] and Singlets had their argument. The father and daughter haven’t spoken since it happened. Jethro chuckled at his girlfriend.
“He’s just stoked, just stoked.” Jethro said, watching him through the binoculars.
“We’re just a little bit confused ‘cause he’s just standin’ there throwin’ his arms out, like he was some sort of god.” Jethro said.
“People normally do that on a dance floor,” Mouse said. “He’s doin’ that in front of the raw ocean.” He said, clearly confused.
“Oh, he’s finishin’ up.” Singlets said. The man was racing back to the tower with his backpack. [Y/N] smiled, shaking her head.
“Nah. I’m callin’ that he’s not done.” She said. The lifeguards cheered as he raced out to the sand to dance some more. [Y/N] laughed and clapped her hands as she watched the man let loose on the dance moves. [Y/N] looked at Jethro. “Hey babe, you should go down there, and see what kind of music he’s listenin’ to.” She said. Jethro looked at her.
“You think I should?” He asked. [Y/N] nodded. Jethro leaned forward, placing his hands on her knees.
“And why would I do that?” He asked. [Y/N] chuckled.
“Because it’s cold out there, it’s warm in ‘ere, and I want to stay where it’s warm.” She said. Jethro chuckled.
“You ‘eard the lady,” Maxi said. “Get out there mate!” He said, sending a kick to Jethro’s butt. Jethro laughed and made his way down. [Y/N] laughed as she watched Jethro dance with the man, then having a hug. Maxi laughed.
“Uh-oh, looks like someone’s out to steal your man, [Y/N].” Maxi teased. [Y/N] laughed and shook her head.
“You wish. It’s just ‘cause you want ‘im all for yourself.” She said, looking at Maxi. Maxi laughed and shook his head. Singlets looked down at his daughter, his smile falling. He hated that he had argued with her, however, he didn’t know if she wanted to make amends or not. Jethro came up to the tower a little later with 18 year old traveler from London, Jake.
“This is Jake,” Jethro introduced. [Y/N] stood up.
“Okay, okay. Here’s the million dollar question,” she said, looking at Jake. “Jake, mate, can you rap?” She asked. The others started a beat, and low and behold, Jake started raping. [Y/N] smiled as Jethro started jumping up and shaking Maxi, who playfully pushed him away. [Y/N] clapped along with the others when Jake finished his rap.
“That was amazing!” She said, giving Jake a high five. Mouse got up and grabbed a Bondi Lifeguard hat.
“Hey, Jake, just wanted to give you this.” Mouse said, handing him the hat. Jake’s jaw dropped.
“No!” He said in disbelief. Mouse nodded. Jake took off his own hat, putting the Lifeguard hat on. [Y/N] smiled, crossing her arms.
“You’re official now!” She said. “Gonna be savin’ people’s lives.” She said.
~~~
The next day, the sun is blazing hot and this brings more people to the beaches. The lifeguards’ day of rest is now over. They are making sure to watch the beaches. With more people, comes more rescues. That’s when Singlets gets the a shocking call on the radio.
Lifeguard down! Lifeguard down! Bring the defib now!
Singlets jumped up and raced to get the defib. He looked back at Maxi.
“You got it up ‘ere?” He asked. Maxi nodded.
“Yeah, go go!” Maxi said. Singlets raced down to the other Rhino and drove down to where all the commotion was.
“When you’re racing a defib down to a patient or even a fellow lifeguard, it kind of helps when you see tons of people surrounding the downed guard or patient, that way you can see where they are.” Singlets said. Right when Singlets jumped off of the Rhino and raced over to the other guards, he was shocked to see that it was his own daughter laying on the sand, unconscious. Not breathing.
~~~
Coming Up...[Y/N] is brought back to life with the defib,
“I was thinking that I was going to loose my baby girl.”
Singlets and Jethro visit [Y/N] at the Hospital,
“All I ask, is that you take care of her.”
And Singlets and [Y/N] make amends.
“I love you, dad.”
