Ok this is just something that came to me and would not leave me alone. My muse must think its fun torturing me like this. She is probably laughing her head off right now!! I have not abandoned my other stories but for some reason I have writers block. I'm hoping this story will get ride of it.
I really have no clue what season this takes place in but pretend like Nesting Dolls never happened. My first attempt at pre-cannon. Please review! I love getting them!!

Grissom had just gotten off the phone with one of his very good friends. They had had the same second grade teacher and found out that they lived a few houses away from each other. They had become friends instantly, and were constantly at each other's houses. They even managed to get the same dorm room in college. It had been a while since they had seen or talked to each other and his friend had called to catch up. When his friend learned how long it had been since Grissom had been on vacation, he immediately insisted Grissom join him at his vacation house. "Bring the whole night shift. I'm sure they could all use a vacation." He had said. He finally agreed and assured his friend that he talk to his team about it, and get back to him on the number of people coming. Although he probably could have told him then knowing that when they found out his vacation house was in Hawaii, they would all say yes. As he walked into the break room the room got quiet, each person waiting to get their assignment.
"Before I had out assignments I have an announcement to make." Grissom said.
"Your FINALLY getting married!" Catherine said.
Grissom laughed. "Uh…no. But I am going on vacation."
"Wait…did I hear that correctly THE Gil Grissom is going on vacation?" Catherine asked. When Grissom nodded his head she continued. "Wow, and here I thought you didn't even know what a vacation was. Wait, you are going to relax right? You not just using that as an excuse to go teach some where are you?" Catherine asked.
"Yes Catherine I'm going to relax. And I'm not using it as an excuse to teach. I'm going to Hawaii." Grissom said.
"HAWAII!" The group screamed.
"Man I want to go." Greg said.
"Well actually your invited, Greg." Grissom said.
"He's WHAT!!" everyone in the room screamed.
"Wait I'm invited?" Greg said a few seconds later.
"So he gets to go and not us?" Sara asked.
"Actually your all invited. I'm staying at a friends house and he invited all of you."
"We get to go to Hawaii!" The girls in the room shrieked.
"I think you just burst my eardrum." Warrick, who was sitting next to Catherine, said moving his finger back and forth in his ear.
"Sorry" Catherine said with a smile on her face.
"When do we leave?" Nick asked.
"Two days from now." Grissom said.
"Wait, What about our cases? What about Ecklie?" Sara said knowing she wasn't on Ecklie's favorite list. Not that any of them were but Sara was the farthest from it.
"Don't worry, Swing will be covering our cases for the next two weeks and I went over Ecklie's head and cleared it with the director." Grissom said.
"Man, Ecklie's gonna be ticked! Wait did you say two weeks?" Nick asked
"Yes, two weeks." Grissom said.
"Sweet!" Warrick said.
"You said we were staying at your friends house, is this friend going to be there?" Sara asked praying that, if he said yes, this friend would not be a woman. She didn't think she could take seeing her hang all over him.
"Yes, he'll be there." Grissom said as Sara breathed a sigh of relief.
"So we're really going to Hawaii?" Catherine asked.
"Yes, now if you don't mind we really need to get to work." Grissom said and then proceeded to hand out assignments.
The two days passed very slowly for the CSI's but the day for them to leave finally came. The plane ride didn't take long and soon the group was pulling up in front of their new home for two weeks.
"Wow this place is amazing." Catherine said and Sara would have agreed if she hadn't recognized the house. She remembered seeing a picture of the front of it in an e-mail but she couldn't remember who sent it to her.
"I thought you said you friend was going to be here?" Catherine asked when she noticed the empty garage.
"He called while we were renting the car to say he had to run a few errands but he would be here shortly." Grissom said as he opened the trunk. The each got their bags and headed into the house. There were six guestrooms so each person got their own room. They were unpacking when Jay, Grissom's friend came in.
"Gil?" Jay asked as he walked through the door.
"Jay! Long time no see." Grissom said as he hugged his friend.
"And whose fault is that?" Jay asked eyeing Grissom.
"I know, I know, I don't visit enough." Grissom said.
"At all is more like it." Jay laughed.
"You must be Grissom's friend." Catherine said walking into the living room.
"I'm Jay, and I never understood why Gil wanted to be called that." Jay said.
"I'm Catherine and I call him Gil every now and then. Everyone else calls him Grissom." Catherine said.
"Would you guys please stop talking about me like I'm not here?" Grissom asked.
"Sorry." Jay and Catherine said in unison.
Grissom was about to say something else when Nick, Warrick and Greg walked into the room.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet my friend Jay." Grissom said.
"Nice to meet you." They guys said.
"I'm Nick."
"Warrick."
"Greg."
"Well nice to meet you all. But Gil, didn't you say there were six of you?" Jay asked when he counted the number of people in the room.
"Does it take that long to unpack?" Nick asked when he noticed Sara was not in the room.
"For a woman it does." Catherine said
"But you were the first one out here." Warrick said.
"I've had a lot of practice." Catherine said.
"She probably just fell asleep." Nick said. "Lord knows she doesn't sleep enough."
"I'll go get her!" Greg said and rushed out of the room.
"Will he ever get over that stupid crush he has on her?" Nick asked laughing at how fast Greg ran out of the room.
"I doubt it." Warrick said laughing as well.
Greg opened the door to Sara's room when she didn't answer his knocks. Sara was curled up into a little ball on the bed fast asleep. Greg smiled at the sight of her. She had worked hard the past week and he knew she needed her sleep but at the same time knew she wouldn't be happy if she found out they let her sleep.
"Sara" Greg called softly into the room.
"Wha…" Sara said as she started to wake up.
"Morning sleepy head." Greg said.
"Its morning?!" Sara said as she shot straight up.
"No I'm just kidding."
"Oh, Phew! So wait why'd you wake me?'
"Grissom's buddy is here." Said with a smile on his face.
"I take it by the look on your face he's nice." Sara said as she smoothed down her hair.
"Yeah, he's cool, you'll like him."
"What's his name?" Sara asked
"He said it was Jay. He didn't give his last name." Greg said.
Sara's head shot up. "Jay?" She asked.
"Yeah." Greg said with a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Oh my God!" Sara laughed and rushed out of the room.
