THE BEAR-A-MEDICS
by Jennifer Caskey
Mom's Note:
Here are several stories written by my nine year old daughter, Jennifer Caskey. She writes these stories as a way to learn her spelling words. Jennifer turns a spelling story in each week to her fourth grade teacher.
In the Emergency TV show Johnny had one partner, Roy. In Jennifer's stories he has two partners, Muffy and Sassy.
I hope you enjoy Jennifer's stories.
It was a hot sunny morning the crows were crowing when two bear-a-medics drove up to Station 51. Sassy, a cream color bear with fuzzy curly fur her partner Muffy , a little honey bear with short fur climbed out of Muffy’s rose color jeep. They migrated to the kitchen so they could get there morning cup of hot fresh coffee plus a fresh roll from the iron stove. Johnny, a caramel color bear with thick long fur arrived, “Good morning ladies” he said as he looked at Sassy and Muffy and thought they looked alike. “Morning Johnny.” said the girls.
After finishing their breakfast the three bear-a-medics went into the locker room and dressed for the day. Captain Stanley came in and said “Chief Teddy is coming for an inspection this morning. Sassy, I want you to reply to this note he sent.” “Yes sir.” replied Sassy.
Sassy was about to sit down when all of a sudden the klaxon rang, “Station 51 tiger cub trapped in well. 9 Hollow Pine Wood Way time out 7:40.” Captain Stanley spoke into the a mic and said , “10-4 Station 51 KMG 365.
When Station 51 arrived at the house they dashed to the well. Johnny tied a rope for one of them to repel down to get the tiger. Johnny and Sassy chose Muffy to get the injured tiger. As Muffy repelled down she could hear the cub groan a little. When Muffy got to the bottom of the well she slowly picked the tiger up and started to go to the top then they took the injured tiger to the waiting vet.
That afternoon Muffy, Sassy, and Johnny were talking about what they were going to do tomorrow. They made plans to drive to Oak Lake to scuba dive to look at the caves below. They would use Johnny’s truck to pile the supplies they would need for their trip.
Oak Lake
Sassy, Muffy and Johnny were leaving Station 51 to drive to Oak Lake. “You three behave on your trip,” teased Captain Stanley. The three bear-a-medics waved as they drove off. Sassy found a cave, “Let’s sleep in here tonight.”
Muffy and Johnny took the supplies into the cave and set up camp for the night. Sassy took a tray of beans and got the tea out. They sat around the campfire and shared secrets. Muffy and Sassy shared a blanket, they wore it like a cape and acted like chiefs. The next morning Muffy and Sassy were lazy. They laid around in their sleeping bags. Johnny agreed to meet them at the bridge then they will hike up the mountains and return to camp before night fall. When Sassy and Muffy finally got up, they headed to the cane bridge to meet Johnny. Muffy almost fell because a rail on the bridge was loose. Sassy and Muffy met Johnny at the foot of the bridge. He was leaning against the bridge. When they reach him they headed to Crayon Mountain. “Why do they call the mountain, Crayon Mountain?” questioned Muffy.
“’Cause the color of the mountain looks like a crayon,” Sassy replied.
When the three of them got to the mountains they explored around. They believed it was the most beautiful sight they have ever seen. They hear a freight train off in the distance. After a while they decided to walk back toward camp. They failed to reach the cave before night fall. When they did arrive the three bear-a-medics became exhausted and went to bed.
The End
Bloom Avenue
“Station 51, human stuck on roof at 4-3 Bloom Avenue, cross street Dew Parkway. Time out 09:00 hours.” Announced the P.A. system. As Muffy, Sassy, Johnny scrambled to the squad, Captain Stanley replied into the mic, “10-4 station 51 KMG 365.”
When they arrived they quickly hopped out of the squad. Muffy looked up and saw a lady sweeping pine needles off the roof with a broom. Muffy laughed at the lady. Sassy was wondering way she was laughing at the lady. Then she figured it was because the lady was still sweeping pine needles off the and she had a cat with her.
After they rescued the lady from the roof, Johnny decided to take Sassy, and Muffy to the movies. They saw “The Clue Less Detective and the Beautiful Rescuer.”
At the movies Muffy, and Sassy thought that the first tune sounded like a flute and they thought it sounded beautiful. One of the scenes in the movie was where a person glued their eyes shut.
After the movie Muffy went to the library to the book based on the book. At the library Muffy found a ruler when she was looking for the book. When Muffy ready to check her book out she asked the librarian. “Did you loose a ruler?” asked Muffy.
“Why yes I did .Thank you.” replied the librarian.
When Muffy arrived back at the station she asked “Where did everybody go?”
“They had to go rescue somebody I guess.” said Johnny
“Yulk! Whose used chewed shoe is this?” Muffy asked.
“Oh that is the dog’s,” answered Sassy.
“Hey, you know those usual libraries that give you a few days to read the books?” Muffy asked. “Well, this library is not due until the nineteenth.”
“Let’s go get some work done until our next rescue,” Johnny said. Then... “Station 51....”
........... “Little girl down . Wealth Road, cross street Sabrina Lane. Time out 1700 hours.” The sound of the Station’s klaxons made Muffy, Sassy , and Johnny run to the squad as fast as they could. Muffy replied into the mic, “10-4 Station 51 KMG 365.”
When they arrived Sassy and Muffy quickly gathered up the supply boxes so they could save the sweating girl. Muffy ran to where Johnny was leaning against the tree waiting. Johnny looked at the girl’s injuries.
“She has a broken left leg and right arm,” Johnny told Muffy.
“I’ll contact Rampart,” Muffy replied. While Sassy took the girl’s vital signs.
*****
After Muffy, Sassy and Johnny returned to Station 51 they sat down at the kitchen table to talk. But, they were called to a fire. Muffy was not prepared. The fire was located at a dead end. When they arrived at the fire, Muffy and Sassy gathered the heavy air tanks. Johnny lead the way into the burning building that was built in the 1800’s. They had to find the area with the most flames and smoke. Muffy followed her cousin, Sassy. They searched burning building for anyone left in the building. Johnny shouted through his air mask, “There’s somebody up ahead!”
Muffy felt a little deaf after a couple of minutes of being in the burning building. The flames were loud. Sassy, Johnny and Muffy reached the injured lady and took her to the squad to check her. She was fine except a couple of minor burns. They took her to Rampart. After the fire, Muffy and Sassy thought they had enough fire fighting for the day.
*****
In the morning the three Bear-a-medics sat at the table eating breakfast. Muffy was having a pleasant morning until Chet the fire fighter teased her. “Muffy, your in big trouble with the Captain. You didn’t sweep last night.” “We work hard and we were tired. We meant to do it when we finally got back,” Muffy said. “Instead of us sweeping why don’t you do it for us?” “Hah! I guess your just jealous because you don’t get to fix supper,” Chet laughed. ‘Hummmm! The Phantom must get the water balloons ready to strike tonight,’ Chet thought.
To be continued............
THE COUNTY’S PHANTOM
Chet got a pound of baking powder ready to strike back at Muffy. He even thought of scaring her with a painted stone owl. Chet said aloud where nobody could hear him but himself, “I’m a good scout. I wouldn’t do a thing like that. NOT!”
Sassy asked him, “What did you say Chet?”
“Huh? What? Oh nothing just pronoun trouble,” he replied.
“Station 51 kid trapped underground, 123 Gopher Road. Cross street Peanut Road, timeout 18:00 hours.” The klaxon rang through the station making Sassy jump. When Station 51 arrived, Station 18 was already at the scene. They did not need any help. Station 51 returned to the station. Muffy asked Captain Stanley, “Captain, can Sassy, Johnny and I have the weekend off?” Captain Stanley allowed them to have a weekend off to see the outdoors Dollhouse Fair downtown. However, they would have to work the next two weekends.
*****
Muffy, Sassy, and Johnny had to rescue somebody at the top of the Ocean Tower at the Sea Life Aquarium. On the way up Muffy saw a trout that was very stout.
When the bear-a-medics arrived at the top of the tower, all it was a lady tripped and fell. Johnny looked the lady over and she left.
*****
The Phantom had the baking powder trap ready and waiting for it’s victim. When the pound of baking powder dumped on Sassy, she quickly bounced back. Chet wanted the powder to dump on Muffy, but he remembered he had two bags left. So, he set the trap ready to strike that night. That night the powder dumped on Muffy who was in her favorite gown. The owl sound went off. But, Muffy did not jump back instead she was very mad and had a frown on her face. She growled at Chet when he walked in. She was white as a snow tiger. Chet burst out laughing! “The Phantom strikes again.”
To Be Continued………
The Crash Muffy, Sassy, and Johnny were watching a documentary about hawks. When Chet came in he looked at the TV and said “I wanted to watch Frankenstein’s Daughter. That’s better than a documentary.” Whined Chet as he walked toward the TV. The three bear-a-medics and Chet started to argue. But then the station’s klaxon went off and interrupted the argument. “Station 51,unknown type rescue. Forty Two Report Road. Cross street Ninth Street. Timeout 18:54 hours,” informed head quarters. The sirens announced Station 51s arrival at the scene. They found out all it was, was a little girl who’s Pop-tart was burning in the toaster. She was at home by herself.
*****
When they returned to the station, the three bear-a-medics and Chet raced to the television. Chet tripped over the cord. The television crashed to the floor. Captain Stanley came into the day room, wondering what crashed. He glared at Chet and the shattered television. “In my office. NOW!” roared Captain Stanley. “What happened and why?” demanded the mad captain.
They all started to talk at the same time. Interrupting each other.
“Hey, alright already! One at a time,” yelled Captain Stanley. “I want you four to buy a new TV for the station with a remote control. NOT a tiny one. Got that, Johnny?”
“Yes Sir,” replied the three bear-a-medics and the firefighter.
****
The next shift the bear-a-medics and Chet cooked supper for the crew. Muffy fixed garlic bread. Sassy fixed spaghetti. Johnny fixed the drink while Chet offered Marco a taste of his secret sauce.
“Yulk! That’s awful, Chet,” grumbled Marco. “You always cook the worse sauce I’ve ever tasted.”
Marco left and returned and brought with him a form. He pinned it to the bulletin board.
“Chet, can you sign this form?” Asked Marco, “It’s very important.”
“What is it for?” questioned Chet.
“It states that you are the worlds worst cook,” teased Marco.
“What? Ohhhh, Marco,” grumbled Chet as he tore the form and tossed the torn pieces into the trash.
****
Later that night the crew at Station 51 was watching the new television. Chet and Johnny were fighting over the remote control.
Captain Stanley mumbled, “Kids, always fighting.”
Then the television remote control slipped out of Chet’s fingers.........

Wet Captain
In the morning when Captain Stanley was doing roll call he asked harshly, “Gage and Kelly, did you replace the television remote control you broke last shift?”
“Right here, Cap!” Chet Kelly held up the new remote control.
“Yeah, Cap, I’ve got one too,” Johnny answered.
“Oh, by the way, Gage, you hardly ever get a hair cut. So, on your next day off stop by a barber shop,” Captain Stanley ordered.
Johnny rolled his eyes and mumbled, “Oh good grief. What does he think this is, the Army?”
“I heard that, Gage,” scolded Captain Stanley.
“I’ve got a better idea. Visit a sheep farmer to get sheared,” joked Chet.
After the Captain dismissed everybody to start chores, Johnny walked over to Muffy and Sassy. “I’ll meet you’ll at the Garden Of Marbles Park tomorrow after I get my hair cut,” Johnny said.
“Sure!” Said the two female bear-a-medics.
*****
The klaxons rang out demanding the attention of Station 51. “Station 51,” announced the p. a. system. “Garbage fire. 110 Farther Avenue. One One Zero Farther Avenue. Time out 13:52 hours.”
“That’s that Carpet Carnival downtown,” Muffy said surprised.
“That place always is catching on fire,” Chet gripped. “Last time some woman dropped her cigarette and her scarf caught on fire.”
When the fire fighters and bear-a-medics arrived, Chet saw a barnyard. “Hey, Gage! There’s a farmer over there waiting to shear your hair,” he teased. “It won’t harm you.”
“Shut-up, Kelly!” Argued Johnny.
Muffy and Sassy questioned the owner of the Carnival, “What happened here?”
“Well, a go cart hit that dumpster and it caused a spark setting the cardboard on fire,” he explained.
The fire was quickly put out and the crew returned to the station. Johnny raced into the kitchen searching for something to nibble on. “I’m starved,” he whined.
“Here’s some tasty yarn for you, Gage,” Chet joked.
“That’s the last straw, Chet.” Johnny yanked a water bottle from the refrigerator to squirt Chet. But, instead of wetting his target he drowned the Captain.
“JOHNNYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!” Captain Stanley bellowed…….
