A/N: This obviously takes place before everyone knew about Grissom and Sara's relationship.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did, Sara would still be in Las Vegas.
"Sara Sidle, welcome to The Moment of Truth!" Mark Wahlberg said as Sara walked onto the stage and sat comfortably in the chair.
"Are you ready to tell the truth in front of all of America?"
She smiled, "I sure am."
"And not only America but also in front of your friends here tonight."
A light shone on a couch off to the side of the stage. There sat three people.
"Let's introduce them to our audience."
"My name is Gil Grissom and I am Sara's boss."
"My name is Nick Stokes and I am Sara's friend."
"My name is Greg Sanders and I'm Sara's BEST friend."
"Ok, Sara. There are six levels of question. The higher you go, the harder they get but the more money you can win. You can quit at any time and take the money but once you hear a question you have to answer that question. If you're caught lying, you lose everything and the game is over. The road through these questions can get VERY personal. Are you ready for that, Sara?"
"Yes," she responded with a nod and smile.
"Ok, level one has six questions. Answer all six truthfully, you win 10,000. Now before we get started lets learn a little bit about you."
"You're a Crime Scene Investigator, right?"
"Yes, I am."
"Do you like your job?"
"Yes, I do. It can get very rough at time but it's a great career."
"Ok, let's get started. Question one: Have you EVER stayed home from work, saying you were sick, when you really weren't?"
The audience laughs and so does Sara.
She smiles, looks at Grissom, and answers, "Yes, I have."
She laughs again.
There's a bit of a tense moment and then a voice sounds throughout, "That answer is…"
More suspense.
"True."
The audience claps and cheers.
"Now that was an easier one." He says to Sara. "Are you ready for a harder one?"
"Oh yeah," she said.
The audience cheered.
"You can quit at any time. And if you're ever concerned about the answers you gave on your polygraph test, you can change them tonight."
"Ok."
"Are you seeing someone or are you single?"
"I'm currently seeing someone, yes," she said and looked over at the couch where Nick, Greg, and Grissom sat.
"Your next question…"
The lights dimmed and focused on Sara.
" Do you think you are smarter than your boyfriend?"
Sara laughed lightly. She pursed her lips and said, "No."
"That answer is…"
There was a tense moment while everyone waited to know what the mechanical voice had to say.
"True."
The audience clapped.
"You don't think you're smarter?"
"No he's very smart," Sara said laughing.
"That's two of six questions answered correctly. Here's your next one…"
Sara nodded and folded her hands.
" Do you have fantasies you'd never admit to anyone?"
The audience broke out in laughter. Sara dropped her head and laughed.
She looked up and raised her eyebrows.
"We'll find out…after the break."
