Hi everyone. I'm back and ready to write. If you were wondering about my other story, I'll tell you I'm working on the 2nd chapter right now. Here's a story that just popped into my head. Please r/r.

Disclaimers: the show CSI and all its characters don't belong to me. (although I wish they would) all other standard disclaimers apply.

Sweet Dreams Cowboy

Chapter 1

Nick Stokes had just finished taking a shower after solving decomp case. His hair was wet and matted. He had the faint smell of lemons radiating from his skin.

He stumbled sleepily over to the fridge and took a can of pop from the top shelf. He opened it and walked over to the couch. He laid down and took a sip of his drink. Then he grabbed the remote, turned on the TV, and flipped it to the Discovery Channel. The Crocodile Hunter Marathon was on. He laid back and eventually fell asleep.

----------------------------------------

"What a weird guy," Sara stated

"Yeah," Warrick replied. They had just interviewed a witness to the abduction case they were working on.

"What was it he said about the car?" Catherine asked.

"He said it was blue with orange flames on the hood and sides, and it was in pretty bad condition, with lots of scratches and rust," Sara replied.

Warrick nodded. "I hope Greg made coffee, I need some to keep me from falling asleep in the middle of shift," he said as they entered the Break Room.

"Well, looks like Greg didn't make any coffee Warrick," Catherine stated as they saw a sleeping Nick on the couch .

"CRIKEY MATES! THIS SHEELA'S A FIGHTER!" Steve Irwin exclaimed frightening the three.

"The Crocodile Hunter?" Warrick asked amused.

Sara looked over to Nick she noticed a stain on his shirt. Then she noticed the pop can on the floor.

"How do you think we should wake him up?" Warrick asked, already scheming in his head a way to awaken Nick.

"Let him sleep, Warrick," Catherine commanded. She remembered that he had had a tough case that night, and had to pull a double.

"But that's no fun. I was thinking maybe yelling in his ear, or dumping water on him, or..." Warrick thought out loud.

"WARRICK!" Both Sara and Catherine exclaimed.

"What?... C'mon girls it'll be fun," Warrick persuaded, "besides I just got a new camera phone and I want to try it out."

Warrick waited for a response but got none. So he said, "Well, if you don't help me I'll just get Greg to help me. Who knows what will happen to our cowboy when I have Greg on my team?" (sorry I know it's lame)

"Ok fine," the girls agreed. "What do we have to do?"

"Ok first we're going to get a little creative, follow me," Warrick said leaving the room. On the door he put a sign that said "Do NOT Disturb."

------------------------------------------------

Greg was printing off results for Grissom and Nick when Warrick, Sara, and Catherine walked into the room.

"Hey, Greg?" Warrick asked, "Do you have any hair spray?" This question earned a glare from each of the girls.

"Yeah, why?" Greg replied looking at the test results in his hand.

"Um, well, Nick is asleep in the Break Room and..." Warrick started, but was interrupted by Greg.

"And you want to spray paint his hair, then yell in his ear, or dump water on him to wake him up, right?" Greg asked.

"Uh, yeah. How'd you know?" Warrick asked cautiously.

"I've done it a few times before. I'll let you have the hair spray if you let me help wake him up," Greg said mischievously.

"Deal," Warrick said quickly.

They shook hands. Then Greg turned around and headed toward a cabinet in the back of the lab. "Ok, what color do you need?" Greg asked opening the cabinet full of hair spray.

Warrick, Catherine, and Sara all gaped at the site of the cabinet full of hair spray.

"What colors do you have?" Warrick asked, the first to regain his composure. Then he realized that he might be there forever listening to the hair spray colors.

"All of them," Greg stated proudly.

"You collect them?" Catherine said. She and Sara were giggling uncontrollably.

"No," Greg said, "I use them in the lab... or for pranks," he said quickly.

"Anyway, do you have Hot Pink?" Warrick asked, grinning from ear to ear.

A/N: I think that's the longest chapter I've ever written. Anyway, please review, tell me what you think of the story so far. Should I put some romance in it? Stay tuned for more stories and chapters from your CSICowboy.
