GUESS WHO?? Yes, I, your beloved Vee, has returned for Part 3 of the E/O trilogy...but something's telling me I might have to extend the trilogy and just make it into a series because I KNOW you want to see the new additions to the family grow up right? You can tell me about that later!

So I decided to approach this story a little differently. I thought you guys would like to see how Danielle thinks so this story will be in Danielle's POV! Just to try something new...

Danielle's a little bit more involved in activities besides SVU this go around and this will definitely play into the story extremely! Well enjoy reading!

Love, Vee (32 DAYS PEOPLEZ! WOOT!)


"Five, six, seven, eight!" I called out in the middle of Revolution Dance Studios. I was standing in the middle of a crowd of girls before we rehearsed a dance. Soon Celine Dion's "You and I" blared through the speakers and we began practicing the opening routine of the recital. While I was in the middle of a jump-split, I thought to myself 'It was only a week before the recital and some of us are totally not ready!'


Excuse me, let me introduce myself. I am Danielle Ann Stabler, dancer, captain of the senior troupe for Revolution Dance, reader, NYPD Special Victims Unit detective at sixteen. Yeah, I know, awesome, right? Well, I guess I better tell you how I ended up being a detective. My daddy is Elliot Stabler. He's been at NYPD ever since before I was born. When I was thirteen, I tagged along on a call with Daddy and his then-partner Dani Beck (blah!). I raced after the perp and had him down on the ground before daddy had called backup. Later that month, Daddy had me starting D-I-T training and out of Manhattan Middle School. It was the start of a new life for me.

When I was fifteen, Daddy and I were partnered with this new girl named Olivia Benson. Dad fell in love with her immediately. After much persuasion from Munch (another detective at NYPD), Fin (his partner), and I, he agreed to go out on a date with her and the romance blossomed from there. They became engaged on Olivia's birthday, September 6th, and were married on January 15th, 2009. Olivia's now eight months along with twin babies, a boy and a girl! We just moved into a townhouse the department had bought as a wedding present and, with the 300 dollars I recieved for becoming the youngest dance captain ever to perform at Revolution Dance, I bought tons of new stuff to redo my new room. My life is perfect right now and I would not change it for anything in the world.

What else can I tell you about me, now that we have my life story out of the way? Well, I'm 5' 4'', have dark brown hair with auburn highlights, and I am usually girlish. Whenever I'm not dancing or working a call, I'll put on my makeup and hit the mall with my dance friends. Oh yeah, I have five brothers and sisters from my dad's first marriage. My mom passed away not too long ago and it still kinda hurts to talk about her. Their names are Maureen, Kathleen, Dickie, Elizabeth, and Eli. That's basically my life!


After we finished the first dance, we ran off to the sides. The junior troupe was going to perform at that time so we could change into our second outfits. We have different outfits for each dance, a total of ten outfits. I have ten, but one is different from everyone else's. For the second dance, they would be wearing an orange ensemble, while I would change into a blue sleeveless dress. Why? As the senior dance captain, I get a solo dance, all to myself. The song I picked was "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain because it really fit everything I had been through in the past nine months. I am incredibly excited about the recital and cannot wait for March 14th!


After rehearsal, Melissa, Caitlyn (my best friends), and I were standing outside waiting for our rides. I had changed out of my dance outfit and into long jeans, a light blue v-neck sweater with my scarf wrapped around my neck, my cap fitted perfectly onto my head, my leather jacket with my NYPD badge fitted perfectly inside, and my furry brown boots on my feet. I was prepared for a winter day in New York City. Suddenly, I saw a red camaro pull into the driveway. I picked up my dance bag, waved goodbye to Melissa and Caitlyn, and entered the car.

"Hey Dan," the voice of Casey Novak called out from the driver's side. Casey is Olivia's best friend and the former ADA of SVU. Casey is actually engaged to one of the detectives at SVU! Remember Munch? Yep, that's him. She's also pregnant with his baby girl! They've actually set a date for a few days after my recital! I am a bridesmaid in the wedding!

"Hey, Case! What's up?" I asked as I pulled out my cell phone, a Pantech Duo from AT&T, and began checking all my missed alerts.

"Your dad and Fin went on a call and Liv's still on desk duty. She's about ready to slap the crap out of Cragen for putting her on there," Casey laughed.

I giggled at Casey as I opened a picture message from Liv:

Get your butt here now!-Liv

The picture was of Olivia with her pouty face on, her arms crossed sternly. I burst out into laughter as Casey pulled the car into the parking garage that connected to the precinct. I was going to work in the best place ever, I go to the best dance academy in NYC, and I am going to be a sister again soon! All in a day's work for Danielle Stabler, detective in training!
