Please review :)

"Hey Nicky, what time did you tell him to pick you up?" Catherine asked as she pushed a few stray balloons out of the kitchen and into the living room and put several bottles of champagne into the fridge.

"8:30. I told him Gris wanted us both in early and my car being in the shop." Nicky smiled as he went to the door as the doorbell rang.

"One double chocolate cake with extra chocolate." Warrick said as he walked in, "Hey Cath," he called to her as he put down the cake.

"Hey Warrick. See Sara? Or Grissom for thet matter. They was meant to be here a quarter of an hour ago and her cell's going straight to voice mail.

"I'm here," Sara called rushing up to the door, Grissom walking up just after her. "My car broke down, had to garb a lift of Griss." She explained as she put the brightly wrapped presents down and turned on Warrick and Nick "I can't believe you gave me present buying duty," she eyed them venomously. "Do you know the looks I got from buying your 'gifts'." Nick and Warrick just laughed.

"Hey guys, better get moving. Greg's just pulled up." Grissom quietened the group as they hid in their pre-decided positions.

A knock on the door signalled that Greg had arrived.

"Hey man, I'm almost ready just come in," Nick called out from behind the sofa. The door opened and the five hidden CSI's appeared from nowhere.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG!" They all called as their youngest made it into the room. Greg smiled as the team yelled as he walked into Nick's apartment.

"So much for your car being in the shop." Greg called to Nick as he was assaulted into a hug by Catherine. "You know it would have been more believeable if you actually moved you car from the drive." He laughed as Nick made his way to the window to see his car still in the driveway just like Greg has said.

"Damn. I knew I forgot to do something." Nick laughed. Sara appeared next to Greg with two glasses of champagne .

"You sure you're old enough for this lab rat?" Sara asked handing one of the glasses to him. Greg's smile changed as he looked at Sara.

"Do I get a birthday kiss then?" He asked slyly

Sara rolled her eyes. "Keep dreaming lad rat." She laughed. A small package hit Greg in the head and Nick started a chat of presents a several more packages used 'air' mail to arrive at Greg's feet. Eyeing the Nick and Warrick presents with suspicion her decided to open them first and get it over with. A small pile of wrapping paper later he was left with and inflatable female doll from Nick with the comment he'd have more chance with the doll then Sara which got a laugh from everyone but Sara how just glared at Nick. Warrick's was almost as bad Karma Sutra For Dummies, his excuse 'It goes so well with Nick's present.' Grissom got him a shirt while Catherine and Sara both got CD's. Several glasses of wine later Grissom mentioned that they should start to head to the lab.

"Thanks guys." Greg said as they gathered their things.

"It's no over yet. We get off early if there no emergencies and we plan to celebrate with style." Nick said throwing his arm over Greg's shoulders.

"Ready to finish the party?" Warrick asked as shift ended at a practically unknown early hour.

"Hell yeah." Greg smiled as he changed out of his work clothes an into his normal day clothes.

"Good. You have forty minutes to get home and get changed into something you can wear at a club and then meet us in the parking lot here." After giving his orders he left the locker room.

Three hours later the night shift was still living it up in one of the many Las Vegas clubs.

"This has to be one of the strangest days ever" Nick laughed at Warrick as he sipped. He was defiantly passed tipsy.

"Well don't blame this on me." Warrick replied as he scanned the crowds laughing as he spotted the four missing members of the team. "You idea for the party."

"Yours for the club," came the reply.

"Hey Nicky I think you own me 20 bucks. Not only did I con Sara into a skirt but I give it about thirty seconds before Greg and her start ripping each others clothes off. Your blow up doll's going to be made redundant." He laughed.

"Hey if you make more then one bet you should also keep an eye on the others." Nick nudged him. "Cath's practically dirty dancing to the music, defiantly showing us her old times, and Grissom's joining in." He laughed and shook his head. The team had gone mad. "Can we do this for my birthday?"
