"Oh man, what a day" Sara muttered to herself as she entered the locker room and pulled her shirt over her head.

Sniffing it, she made a face, then turned back to her locker and riffled through it until she found a fresh shirt that didn't smell like garbage.

As soon as she felt comfortable again in her clothes she continued her mumbled tirade.

"First Warrick asked me what underwear he should wear on his honeymoon, and then Ecklie nearly gave me a heart attack by winking at me. I can't wait until I get home"

She pulled out her jacket and, just as she started to close the locker, something caught her eye… a letter with her name on it.

"Oh my God, this has to be some kind of sick joke. If it's something that says 'I know what you did last summer' I'm quitting for sure"

She pulled the letter out and sniffed on it.

"Okay, at least it's not perfumed. That's a good sign, right? It means it's not some freak or secret admirer"

With a sigh, she finally pulled out the piece of paper that had been shoved in the envelope.

"Sara,

Don't even ask how I managed to get this thing into your locker, but believe me when I say that the handling of pry bars is not as easy as it seems in Hollywood.

Enough of mybabbling, (by the way, have I told you that my grandmother had her birthday last week? No? Well, she turned 80 and trust me, even at her age she still knows how to make a fantastic cake) on with business.

Meet me at 8 o'clock in the cafeteria. I'll be waiting for you.

Love,

Mama's boy"

As soon as Sara had finished reading the letter, she shook her head.

"Well, I don't think I need to be afraid of someone with such a lousy nickname," she mumbled, then shut her locker and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

"Two more minutes until my 'blind date'. Better get going"

Peeking around the corner she watched out for Ecklie and sprinted to the cafeteria.

As soon as she had entered it, she looked around astonished.

In front of her she found the whole night shift.

"Okay, please don't tell me you got a letter, too" Nick moaned.

"Unfortunately, yes" Sara replied as she pulled out her letter.

"Anyone know why we're here?" Warrick asked.

"Okay, Greg, spit it out. What have you done now? Did you blow up the lab again?" Nick accused his co-worker.

"Hey! Does it look like it? I doubt that would have gone unnoticed by you. All the smoke, screams and flames, you know."

"Okay, stop this right now!" Grissom interrupted their bickering. "We need to concentrate. Can anyone think of something that would lead to us being here?"

All of a sudden the lights went off.

"Oh my God!" Catherine squealed and jumped into Nick's arms. "The horror movie I watched yesterday had the same beginning. The crazy pantomime is going to kill us all!"

The others looked at her oddly.

"Say, Catherine, what kind of movies have you been watching?" Warrick raised his eyebrows.

"Ouch!"

"What was that?"

"Well, for sure not a crazy pantomime as they don't talk"

"Wait, I think I found a light switch" Greg's voice could be heard.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Turn on the damn light!"

"Okay, okay, relax. No hurry."

"Guys, not to alarm you but someone is fondling my breasts"

"Oops, sorry Sara. Guess it wasn't a light switch after all"

Grissom sighed deeply and felt around for the flashlight in his pocket. Switching it on, he looked around the room.

"Archie!" Sara shouted.

Indeed, it was Archie who was lying on the ground, a skateboard next to him. He rubbed his aching back, sent a death glare towards the thing which caused him to fall, and turned around to his co-workers, smiling sheepishly.

"I see you all came. The fun can begin, I guess"

"Fun? You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Catherine grabbed him by his throat.

After a few seconds, Nick finally managed to pull her away and gave Archie the chance to explain what this was all about.

"Okay, listen and listen closely. I don't want to be interrupted and I'm only going to explain it once. I want to make a dare night"

"But we have to work at night," Grissom interrupted.

"Well, then it's a dare day"

"Then why do you call it a dare night?"

"Because it sounds cooler so shut up. As I already explained, before I was so rudely interrupted, I want to make a dare night. Every one of you has to fulfill three dares. Whoever gets them done the fastest is the winner. If it's a guy, he gets my stack of porn movies, if it's a girl, she gets my stack of romance movies. Don't even ask me why I have those. I guess my mom wanted to wake my romantic side. So… who's in?"

"Whoa, hold it right there. Why would we humiliate ourselves for such a lousy price?" Catherine asked him with crossed arms and a scowl on her face.

"Because of two certain movies: 'One Night in Paris' and 'Brokeback Mountain'"

"I'm in," all six voices could be heard.

"Great, let's get it started. If you have fulfilled a dare you need to send me a picture of it. That's all. So, let the games begin!" Archie cheered as he passed out letters with each of the player's name on them.

Well: A special thanks goes to my beta readers CrimsonxBlackxBloodx and fox-rox1539!
