A/N: I wrote this story a coupleof years ago for a challenge on another fanfiction board. We had to choose amongst a bunch of significant dates in the Spring season. I chose the Earth Day. I hope you'll like it.

18th April

Jack entered the bullpen after a long, boring meeting with the AD. Lucky D! He was spending the whole week camping with his family. Suddenly he realized that the bullpen was unusually quiet. The only noises were those of Tara's fingers on the keyboard and of stifled yawns. Sitting at his desk, he studied his colleagues. The last days had been blissfully uneventful, giving the team the chance to catch up on a lot of neglected paperwork and him the chance to practise is favourite activity: Sue-watching. She was always so totally absorbed by her job that he could freely observe her with her being none the wiser. And she was so beautiful when she was concentrated on something, her face adorned by an adorable little pout… But his favourite moments were those when there was something that didn't convince her on the documentation she was reading. In that case she would frown and then she would nibble her full, luscious lower lip…
The constant drumming of Bobby's fingers on the desk brought him back to reality. A harsh reality. Bobby was bored. And a bored Bobby could mean just trouble.

- Levi, get Sue.-

This simple phrase drew the attention of the whole bullpen but Jack didn't seem to notice.

" Hungry? " He signed.

- Starving! – Sue replied with a smile.

- Ah! Brilliant idea! – Myles exclaimed getting up, soon imitated by the rest of the team.

- Thanks for the invitation, Sparky! - Bobby said, already out of the door.

- It's in moments like this that I truly appreciate your qualities as team leader and your generous nature! – Lucy added, putting on her jacket.

- Your credit cards are intact, aren't they? – Tara asked, briefly narrowing her eyes to look Jack straight in the eyes, and then followed Lucy out of the bullpen.

Jack turned his attention to the blonde sat in front of him. She was smiling! Ha had been had and she was smiling! Tongue in cheek, he got up and waited for Sue to put on her jacket and grab Levi's leash and then the couple exited the bullpen, his hand comfortably resting at the small of her back.
