So this is my first Scorpion Story! I hope that you all enjoy reading it and let me know what you think xx

It was like any other normal day in the garage; Walter had woken up early around 7am and started tinkering with his rocket. He was working towards winning the Carmen-Line prize, for research to help with his sister progressive Multiple Sclerosis. As the morning dragged on the team began to role into the garage one by one, awaiting a new case for the team to solve. Every since they were approached by Agent Cabe Gallo from Homeland security, the team was receiving cases daily, and were having a substantial, stable financial income, which was something new and something that everyone appreciated, especially Toby. Toby a behaviorist was the first of the team to arrive at the garage around 7:30, and as his usual routine, he walked in with a coffee from Kerensky's and sat down at his desk and continued reading a medical-psychological textbooks awaiting Happy's arrival. The team had seen the two growing closer but no one ever raised the issue. Moments later both Happy a mechanical prodigy and Sylvester a "human calculator" arrived with Happy heading straight to her workbench and Sly heading straight to his blackboard, to continue working on the algorithms and formulas he was the previous day until Paige had told him to go home. Everyone seemed to go about their business as per usual. Paige, the last and most recent member of the team was the last to arrive.

Paige joined Scorpion about four months ago, after Scorpion arrived at her diner were she worked as a waitress, to solve a national emergency at LAX airport. It was there that Walter explained to Paige, how special her son Ralph was, with him being a genius. Paige, a single mother observed a change in behaviour in her son, when interacting with the members of scorpion, and it was then when the team needed help to solve the emergency that she agreed to help, for the betterment of her son. It was this that led Walter to offer Paige a permanent job at scorpion to act as a translator for them, to translate the world and its emotions, while they help translate her son, Ralph to her.

It was around 8am that Paige walked into the garage after dropping off Ralph at school, she walked in into the garage with a smile beaming from her face and a spring in her step. Paige always loved working Fridays, as she knew the weekend was coming. "Good Morning everybody" Paige said, and walked towards her desk where she sat her bag down on her desk and got to work finishing the paper work from yesterday's case which she didn't quite get around to. When Walter heard Paige's distinctive voice and boots that she loved to wear every Friday, he could help but smile, knowing the women that he had started to fall in love with was here and in a good mood. As he turned around he saw Paige sitting at her desk, getting ready to start filing paper work. Walter started walking towards to kitchen area, which he did every time Paige arrived, and filled up two coffee cups; one for him, and one for Paige. He then walked over to Paige's desk and planted to coffee cup on her desk. "Mmm thanks Walter, this is exactly what I needed after the night Ralph and I had last night" Paige explained, at the sound of Ralph's name Walters ears popped up "Is Ralph ok? Is anything wrong? Is there anything I can do to help? Walter frantically said.

Ralph was always Walters priority, he reminded him of himself when he was younger, and he felt extremely protective over the young boy. At the notice of Walter saying this, a smile stretched across Paige's face and warmed her heart; she loved how protective Walter was of Ralph. Even though Walter wasn't Ralph's paternal father, over the past 4 months Walter had been more of a father to Ralph than that of Ralph's. Ralph was also another reason that Walter and Paige had grown closer. Paige had grown an attachment to Walter, as he was helping to bridge the gap between her and Ralph, and for that she was going to be forever thankful. Paige had also noticed that she too, was starting to have an effect on Walter, she had seen many improvements in his EQ levels. And for Walter, he couldn't put a finger on Paige, but their was just something about her that made him get butterflies in his stomach and feel as though he couldn't speak, and this was something Paige noticed when they were in each others small proximities, especially when she was teaching him a flirting lesson for a case they were working on. The funny thing is, Paige herself hadn't quite realized how much she actually enjoyed flirting with Walter. The other members of scorpion though could see through all this, and could see the mutual attraction Paige and Walter shared, from the stolen glances across the room and gentle accidental touches.

"He's fine Walter, he just had a nightmare and then I found him working on some of the algorithm problems that you gave him yesterday afternoon because he couldn't fall back to sleep, so I stayed up all night with him until he eventually drifted off" Paige explained. "Oh… I see, well next time, get him to give me a call and ill see if I can talk to him about it". At that moment Walters phone started ringing, and Walter walked off to the other side of the garage to answer it, and Paige went back to her paper work. Walter ended the phone call and walked back into the middle of the garage "That was Cabe, he says that he has got no cases for us today and that he'll see us Monday" Walter yelled out as Happy was all the way in the other side of the garage.

"Alrighty long weekend!" Toby explained, "I don't think so Toby, you still haven't finished your field report from last week! and Cabe has been bugging me about it every day since, so your not going anyway" Walter stated walking over to Toby's desk. "Ahh no fair" Toby explained sliding down into his chair and pulling his hat over his face.

Walter walked back to his desk opposite Paige's and continued working on an algorithm he was creating. He couldn't help but notice how Paige's hair was glowing from the sun streaming in from the windows, and how she got lines above her forehead when was concentrating really hard, which was something Walter thought was adorable. These looks did not go unnoticed by Paige, every now and again, she would pop her head up and catch Walter staring at her and would turn to see the blush in his cheeks grow. Paige silently chucked and a smile stretched from her cheeks.

It was around midday, when the whole teams head pops up due to the knocking on the door of the garage. "Finally! Something interesting" states Toby. As Toby was walking towards the door he passes Walters desk and sticks his tongue out, "real mature Toby, just answer the door," states Walter. As Toby reaches the door, he opens the handle and three ladies pile in. The first a tall, thin blonde followed my two tall, slender brunettes. As the three women piled into the garage looking around, Toby was the first to speak "Ladies… How can I help you", "Kelly!.. Hayley.. Izzy! What are you girls doing here!" Paige stated surprised, as she stood from her desk and walked over to the three ladies, passing an obviously shocked Walter. "Paaaiiigeeeee" the three women cried all at once, and raced over to Paige, and embraced each other. "What on earth are you guys doing here, the last I heard you guys were all in Orlando?" stated Paige with a still surprised tone in her voice. "Paiigee, I cannot believe that you could forget our girls night! We have been doing it this same weekend for the last 5 years" Izzy exclaimed. By this time Walter had now walked over to stand just behind Paige, with Toby beside him, and further behind them Sly and Happy closely listening in.

"Oh guys, I am so sorry! I completely forgot, ever since getting this new job at Scorpion, things have just been so crazy!" Paige stated as she turned around to see Walter standing behind her with his hand crossed across his chest. "Oh and these are the guys I work with" said Paige turning around and pointing to Walter, Toby, Happy and Sly. "And this is Kelly, Hayley and Izzy, my friends from college"

"Ohh so friends from college hey?" Toby questioned, "Well I would love to personally talk to you ladies to find out a little bit about our friend Paige here, during her younger years" as he turned around to face the three women. Hayley then stepped forward towards Paige and turned towards Toby, "Ohh there is so much to tell about this little wild child here", at this, the blush on Paige's face began to grow, and she turned around to see Walter staring at her with a smirk across his face...

"Oh really" Toby expressed, "I would love to hear all about it then", at this Paige stepped between her two friends putting her hands up "No…no…Hayley, that will not be necessary", Hayley then looked at Paige "But you are going to come out with us tonight aren't you, tonight is going to be as wild as the nights we had in Vegas, and we can all remember how wild that got… the girls and I are going to go out shopping and then get our hair done before going out, can you come?

"Uhh guys I don't think ill be able to, I've got soo much paperwork to finish…" Paige explained in a quiet tone, Walter however stepped up beside her halfway through what she was saying "Paige, its fine.. you've worked so hard this week, go out and have a good time"

Paige looked at Walter with a surprised look and a smile spread across her face; Toby knew that this smile of Paige's made Walter weak at the knees. "Are you sure Walter? Paige asked and looked at Walter and then back at her friends" "I am sure Paige" and with that, Paige's three friends all cried out at once "GIRLS NIGHT!". The four girls embraced in a hug and all started jumping. Walter had never seen this side of Paige before, but this side of her, carefree… was something he was starting to like.

"Ok, Paige, so we are going to go and get dresses and our hair done, where and what time do you want us to get you? exclaimed Kelly. "Oh my goodness, Ralph!" Paige said, "I can watch him while your out" Walter stated and came up and stood beside Paige, "we can watch movies, play video games, order in, and ill promise to get him to bed at a reasonable hour", "are you sure Walter, I mean if you don't feel comfortable I can call the baby sitter" Paige said as she pulled Walter off to the side away from everyone. "Paige, its fine, I am actually looking forward to spending some time with Ralph, and I want you to have a good time" quietly muttered Walter, "oh thank you Walter thank you" Paige cried and pulled Walter into an embrace, which did not go unnoticed by the team and Paige's friends, the two stood in an embrace, with Walter placing his hands around Paige's back, furthering the hug, until Paige started to pull away. Paige looked into Walters deep brown eyes and put her hands on the side of his face "Thanks again Walter, I'll come by at around 6:30", "ohh ok" Walter nervously stated as Paige cheekily slapped the side of his face. Walter then watched Paige walk back into the middle of the garage and followed her.

"Ok guys… so the girls night is a go.. Walter is going to watch Ralph for the night, so you guys can come by here and pick me up at about 7, after we finish our shopping" Paige exclaimed excitedly. "OMG this is going to be the best night EVER" Kelly, Hayley and Izzy all cried together. And with this Paige walked back to her desk and gathered her things, while her friends explained that they would meet her out the front. Paige said goodbye to the team members, while Walter walked her to the door. "So I'll be back later tonight with Ralph" explained Paige, as Walter looked into Paige's deep eyes, he couldn't help but only mutter the words "Ok" as she hugged him goodbye.

As Paige walked out the door, Walter stood their frozen trying to understand the events that had taken place this afternoon, not exactly the return of Paige's friends, but the way that Paige had hugged him and embraced him. Walter didn't quite understand this feeling he was feeling, but all he knew for sure was the he had enjoyed it, and would like to have more encounters like this in the future with Paige.

It was Toby walking towards him that pulled Walter out of his thoughts. "So… Paige appears to be a little bit of a wild child that we didn't know about… What exactly do you think happens on a Girls Night? Toby asked...
