Title: Love Rekindled
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI Anthony Zuiker and CBS do.
Author's Note: An AU story idea that came to my mind. I know this is random, but I miss seeing Archie on the show and I am doing a story test run with this pair. Not much plot except romance and fluff with tiny angst/hurt/comfort.

Chapter 1: Re-emergence of a Love
-Early February 2012-
It was an ordinary day for Archie; he had the day off and had been chatting with the crew for a little bit and was at the reception area getting his paycheck. As he was leaving he saw his supervisor, DB Russell chatting with someone, thought he couldn't see who it was at first. Shying away so he couldn't be seen eavesdropping, he walked to the lobby and waited for a few minutes. Soon he saw who DB had been chatting with and it was none other than Julie Finlay.
Julie Finlay; the name suddenly brought back a lot of memories he had. It had been a long time (twenty plus years) since he had seen someone who had captured his heart. Julie was the girl who had his heart and had taken it with her when they broke up.
Suddenly Archie realized she was leaving and he was stuck rooted in the place he was standing at. As he had spun around and tried to get his feet to move he heard his name being called, "Archie Johnson, is that you?"
Archie turned around and with a nervous smile on his face he said, "Hi Julie."
Walking over close to Archie and giving him a friendly hug as she asked, "How have you been? I didn't think I would run into you here."
Nerves lessening she answered, "Yeah I am working here as the AV tech."
Finn replied, "Cool, I was wondering if you want to go and get a bite to eat and catch up?"
Nerves fading a bit Archie answered, "Okay sounds good to me. I know of a good place with the best breakfast."
Finn said, "Well then let's go."
With that Archie knew his day wasn't going to be the same again.
