A/N- This might have been on my computer from when I started writing. It was just in one jinormous hunkajunk file, so I finally got around to seperating it and posting it in different chapters. This will also help motivate my ass to write it more often. If only I could remember where I left off...

So, I will be posting the chapter at regular intervals until I get up to the part that I left off!. Reviews are always welcome!

"It's YOUR team, Gil. Not my problem. My team already completed their communication workshop. Your team has to complete the camping trip. It's mandatory, and everyone has to go for the week. The time will be covered. Your shift is the only one left to complete it, so I opted you all for the camping. Here is your information, see you next week."

Grissom swore that the smile on Ecklie's face was not forced. He had that sneer on. Grissom shuddered. Disgusting. How could one man take so much pleasure in other's pain? He looked down at the information which was thrown on his desk. All had pictures of the middle of nowhere. Just wonderful.

"What's up?" Catherine called him out of his head as he entered the breakroom.

"We have to go on a camping trip."

Everyone groaned audibly.

"Can't we get out of it?" Sara complained.

"It's out of my hands. And mandatory."

"When do we leave?" Greg didn't seem as upset as everyone else.

"Immediately. That means tomorrow morning. We're off this shift. So everyone has to go home and get ready to leave at seven this morning."

Everyone groaned again.

"Aww, come on guys. It won't be that bad. Everyone gets to hang out all week. No work. Sounds good to me," Nick mentioned.

"I guess. At least I'm away from Tina."

Nick and Warrick continued their conversation out of the breakroom.

"I guess I should go hang out with Linds before we leave," Catherine claimed, leaving the room.

"So, Sara, what do you think. You and me, the woods and the stars. It can get pretty lonely out there," Greg smiled.

"Haha. In your dreams Sanders."

Everyone exited the lab and headed home for some rest before they left the following morning.

"I don't understand why Ecklie has to take it out on our shift," Sara mumbled from the bathroom.

"Stop moping. It won't be that bad. As Greg said, me and you, the stars. It might be fun."

Sara plopped on the bed next to Grissom.

"What can you possibly do to make my camping better?"

"How about...I put up your and Catherine's tent."

"How do you know I'll be with Catherine?"

"You two have to be together. You're the only two girls. Then Nick will probably be with Warrick. That leaves me with ...Greg."

This was the first time Grissom had realized that he would have to share a tent with Greg, and his face visibly fell.

Sara laughed at him, "Like you said, 'it won't be that bad.'"

"Maybe we can get you and Greg to change," Grissom mentioned hopefully.

"Yeah, because that won't raise eyebrows."

Grissom captured her lips lightly before he continued.

"Night, we need to get some rest."

"'K. Just look on the bright side. You're assembling my tent."

"If that wasn't ment to be dirty..."

Sara, Grissom, Nick, and Warrick were waiting around the lab parking lot for the other two. Everyone looked up as they heard burning rubber and saw Greg's car cruse to a halt in a spot. He jumped out carrying coffee.

"Hey, sorry I'm late, but I brang coffee."

Everyone grabbed their own cup. A few minutes later and Catherine leisurely pulled up.

"How nice of you to grace us with your presence."

"Could you shut up and help me with this," Catherine called from her trunk.

Grissom walked over.

"We're going for a week, not a month. How much could you possibly need?"

"For your information, I need all of it."

Grissom called The three other men over. All made it back to the truck that would be used luging suitcases and various travel bags.

"Did you leave anything in your closet?" Sara joked.

"Oh, and how much did you bring?"

"I must boast that I only brought one single suit case, thank you very much."

"Did you leave anything in YOUR closet?" Catherine smiled sweetly as Sara smirked.

"Really funny."

"Girls, knock it off and get in the car," Greg called.

Catherine and Sara both glared at Greg until he ducked back into the truck. Catherine jumped into the drivers seat next to Warrick. Nick and Greg were in the middle seat so that Grissom and Sara had the whole back seat to themselves.
