Here's a new story that I've been thinking of. If you're reading any of my others, they will be continued soon. Promise.
Summary: Lindsay get's an invite to her sister's wedding. Exciting right? Draw back; her ex-fiancé is the best man. Now, she's taking Danny as a way to prove that she's truly over him. DL

Lindsay was running around her apartment nervously trying to get her last minute things together. She heard the door bell ring and ran from her bedroom towards the door. Unfortunately, as soon as she hit the front room, she tripped over the leg rest and fell on her face.
Picking herself up, she ran to the door, slinging it open to find a massage carrier waiting patiently. She held out the envelope that was in her hand and the messenger tried to take it. She wouldn't let go.
"Ma'am," the messenger started slowly, "you really have to let go."
"Just slightly nervous. I'm heading back home with some extremely hot guy I work with for my half sister's wedding. At which, my ex-fiancé just so happens to be the best man at," she smiled.
"That's great," the messenger replied, pulling hard on the envelope to get it out of her hands and then turning around and leaving.
Lindsay shut the door and continued her frantic morning of getting ready. She just hoped Danny got everything he needed in time. He was busy this morning so they had to meet on the plane, and she hadn't had time give him what he needed before hand.
--Some weeks prior to this moment--
Lindsay yawned as she picked her mail up and headed up the stairs to her apartment. She flipped through them, stopping when she came across and square envelope.
When she entered her apartment, she dropped all the mail on the table near the door except the square one. She walked over to the couch and plopped down. She opened it up and pulled out what she had been expecting, a wedding invitation to her half sister's wedding.
Also, out fell a hand written note. She unfolded it and laughed as she saw the name on top.
'Dear Lindie Lou,
Hey, so, apparently you've seen the wedding invite. Joshua and I are extremely excited! Well, duh, you're going to be my maid-of-honor. What else is to be expected?
Just thought I'd give you some run down on the wedding, the old fashioned way. (No email or telephone involved, ha ha.) Anyways, we'll be driving up to the lake house after the parties. The wedding will be held up there, the church where mom and dad got married. Mitchell is going to be the best man. But, really, is that even a surprise?
Here's the order of events: Thursday you will be arriving and I'll be having a get together that night. Friday we're bachelor/bachelorette parties. Saturday we've got dance lessons in the early morning and then we'll be driving up to the lake house. Sunday we have the rehearsal. And, then Monday we're having the wedding.
A little scattered and crammed but, everyone has places to be and people to see, so, I'm trying to get this thing going. Oh, and please stay a few days after we leave for the honeymoon to spend some time with mom and dad. They can't wait to see you, either!
Well, I suppose I covered the main stuff. See you in some weeks.
Love you,
Mandy Mae'
Lindsay was having mixed emotions as she closed the letter.
Lindsay's dad had died when her mom was about 2 months pregnant; his car had flipped off the side of the road. When Lindsay was a little over one and a half, her mom remarried. Joe, her step dad, was a really nice guy, and probably Lindsay's favorite person to talk to out of the whole family. Well, about a year later, Amanda Michelle Brookes was born. Lindsay was two and half at the time. Amanda had quickly become her best friend.
Lindsay loved Amanda. They did everything together when they were younger, and up until three years ago when Lindsay moved to New York, still often hung out.
Joshua had been friends with Amanda and Lindsay for a long time; with Joshua and Amanda dancing in circles around each other for a major part of that time. They had finally gotten together just after Lindsay had left.
Now, the problem was Mitchell. Mitchell has also been their friend for a while. He was obviously Joshua's best friend and was also rather close to Amanda. He had been Lindsay's fiancé. He'd called it off weeks prior to the set date.
Now, she had to find a date to the event. And, she new just who would be the perfect person.
The next day, Lindsay went into work with one objective on mind. She had to find Danny. But, he didn't seem to be anyway. She checked the break room, the locker room, and all the labs. Na-da.
She sighed and decided to call it quits for now, heading into her and Danny's shared office to finish up some paper work. She worked for about an hour in silence.
"Montana!" Danny chirped happily as he entered the room.
"Hey, Danny!" Lindsay looked, excited that he was here. Her excitement was quickly replaced with curiosity, "Where've you been?"
"Talking to Mac," he said simply.
"For an hour?" she raised and eyebrow, mentally slapping herself for not checking there.
"No, only about fifteen minutes, then I talked to Flack for a little bit in the break room," he replied as he sat down at his desk.
Lindsay let out a small laugh and shook her head, "Okay. Well, I have a proposition for you."
"Shoot," he leaned forward.
"You can accompany me to Montana for about a week for my sister's wedding," she smiled brightly at him.
"And what's in it for me?" he rose and eyebrow, smirking.
"You get to spend some time with me, and see real wheat fields," she replied.
Danny shrugged, "Can't argue with that. But, can Mac?
"Let's ask him," Lindsay stood up.
--Present Time--
Well, Mac had agreed and now Lindsay was running around her apartment making sure that everything was in order. She looked up at the clock. It was time for her to be on her way to meet Danny on the plane. She also had to tell Danny another reason she needs him to come…
