Author's note: I've only seen a few episodes of Sue Thomas F. fairly recently. I remember I loved the show when it was on TV a few years back though. Anyway, if there are any inconsistencies with the show, I apologize beforehand. I'm just having some fun :)

Lucy sat on the couch in her apartment. Alone. Again. It had been six months since Sue decided to stay in DC. She had said she stayed because she didn't want to leave her team, her friends, her family. But from that day on Lucy found herself alone in the apartment increasingly more often until three months later, when Sue had dropped her bombshell.

`Lucy, I have something to tell you,' she began.
Lucy joined her best friend on their couch, looking at her expectantly. She noticed Sue looked a little nervous, causing her to become nervous too. Sue took a deep breath and plunged right in.
`I'm moving.'
`What?' Lucy exclaimed. `You're joking, right?'
`No, I've spent the last couple of weeks looking for a place of my own and I found it.'
Lucy was stunned. She didn't know what to think, much less say. Sue waited patiently for her friend to take in the news.
`I thought you were staying in DC because you didn't want to leave your friends,' Lucy said sadly, when she could finally find the words. `So why are you leaving me?'
`I'm not leaving you, Lucy,' Sue replied with a small smile. `You are one of my best friends and I'm sure we will still spend a lot of time together. I just can't continue living with you. I found a home of my own.'
`When are you moving out?'
Sue hesitated before answering; she didn't want to hurt her friend.
`Saturday,' she finally replied.
`But... that's the day after tomorrow!' Lucy cried.
`It won't take long. I'm only taking my personal stuff and Levi's things. You can keep everything else, including the furniture in my room. I'm sure you can find another roommate to rent it to.'
Lucy was in shock, but Sue was clearly set in her decision. All Lucy could do was accept it and offer to help, which she did.
`I'm fine, Luce. I've already put half of my stuff in boxes, and I'll do the rest of it tomorrow.'
`Are you sure I can't help you? I could drive some of your boxes to your new place. Do you need help with painting and picking out new furniture?' Lucy was becoming a little excited at the idea of helping her friend decorate.
`Actually... I want to do it myself,' Sue said quickly. `I'm sorry, Lucy. It's just something I need to do.'
Two days later Sue had moved out and Lucy was left with a fully furnished apartment, which somehow felt a whole lot emptier.

Lucy wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and settled back into the couch with a cup of tea.
Sue had kept her promise to a certain extend. She was still spending time with her friend, though not nearly as much as Lucy had hoped. She would come over once or twice a week, and they would have dinner or watch a movie. They'd also gone shopping a few times. But to Lucy it wasn't enough. Every so often she'd ask Sue if she could come over to her place for dinner or a movie, but Sue would say she was still remodeling. Lucy was getting frustrated. She hadn't even seen Sue's new place yet, and surely it didn't take three months to fix up an apartment, even with a job as busy as Sue's.
With renewed determination Lucy set her mug on the coffee table. Tomorrow she was going to ask to see Sue's apartment again, and this time she wasn't going to take no for an answer.
