This is going to be my first multi chapter fic so be patient with me. Though I don't plan on making you wait long for updates, hopefully one a day if I'm lucky. So anyway here it is! ENJOY!

Kate Beckett awoke to her alarm blaring. "Danmit" she groaned "Rick could you turn that off please?"

No response.

"Castle?" without bothering to open her eyes Kate felt across the bed only to find it cold and empty. At this she opened her eyes, swiveling her head to look for any sign of her boyfriend. His side of the bed was rumpled and unmade, but he was not in the room. Sitting up, she used her other senses to figure out if he was even in the loft.

When she didn't hear anything she started to worry. Slowly leaving the comfort of her bed, Kate shivered when her feet him the cold hard wood of her floor. She made her way across her bedroom and out into the narrow hallway that led into the open floor plan of her loft. When she turned the corner a small gasp escaped her lips. Scattered around the apartment were hundreds of yellow roses, all held in beautiful hand carved vases.

She walked forward in to the room, slowly twirling to take in all that was around her. It was like something out of a movie. The sun had rose a couple of hours ago but it was at just the right angle in the window to only cause a soft glow, magnifying the effect of the flowers even more.

When she reached her kitchen she stopped. In the middle of the island was an extravagant bouquet of white, yellow and orange roses, arranged in a way that resembled a sunset. At the base of the bouquet was a thermos, coffee mug and a bear claw. When she got closer she noticed something else among the other gifts. Was a simple white envelope addressed to her in a very familiar scrawl.

A small smile graced her lips, only Castle, she thought. The first thing she reached for was her thermos. She opened the lid and inhaled the intoxicating aroma. She reached for the mug, noticing it was new she examined it closer. On the side in bold lettering it said My 1 Girl. She laughed as she poured her coffee into it, knowing that she was going to need the energy for whatever crazy plans the writer had in store for her, surely there was a method to this madness. She brought the cup to her lips and a soft moan escaped. It was perfect, it had just the right amount of her favorite vanilla cream and just the right amount of sugar.

She closed her eyes, enjoying the smooth warming effect the coffee gave her, and not just because of the temperature. No matter where she was or who she was with, coffee always reminded her of Castle. The way it warmed her hand reminded her of the way it felt to have his fingers intertwined with hers. The sweet flavor reminded her of how his lips always tasted of her favorite hazelnut French roast. The way it warmed her very core reminded her of the way she felt whenever she saw him walking towards her, coffee in his hands, smile in his face.

Slowly she opened her eyes, coming back to her senses, she grabbed her bear claw along with the envelope. She made her way over to the couch, finding a place among the flowers to set her cup down on her table. Ripping open the letter, Kate gently pulled the small rectangular form of notebook paper. Unfolding it Kate, found the neat hand writing of her favorite writer.

Dear Kate,

Good morning my extraordinary sleeping beauty!
I see you have finally awaken from your slumber,
Well not SEE really because, as I'm sure you have
already noticed, my ruggedly handsome self is not
present and the time. There is a reason for this my
Love, for I have a proposition for you! I am putting
your detective skills to the ultimate test. I have put
together a scavenger hunt for you. Throughout the
day you will be receiving clues as to where you
should go. And when you reach that secret destination
there will be a clue for you to find, weather it be
hidden with an object, with a person, or the person
themselves. At the end of this grand adventure, I will
be waiting. So my dearest Kate, I challenge you, NO!
Dare you to come find me. So enjoy your breakfast
get dressed, take a shower, put on some comfortable
shoes and when you are your usual stunning self,
search your loft for your first clue. And let the games
BEGIN!

All my love, Rick
