Hey guys! I apologize for my lack of updating on my untitled... I promise I have something in mind for those two gorgeous ladies.. I just started college about a month ago and now its midterm time, crazy, crazy college... blehhhh. Anyway, I got a challenge to write a story for Serena or Connie or both. So.. this kind of plopped out. It's a chapter story too.. I can't seem to write small ones. I promise I'll update more frequently in about a week!

For now, I'll give you this and hopefully, even if you haven't seen the regular law and order... you'll like it. All you really should know is jack is a womanizer and Serena worked for him, but was fired and came out... Connie works for him now. Yep. Enjoy chapter one!

"Jack… you rang?" Connie Rubirosa said as she knocked once on her superior's door, then strode confidently into his office, only to stop short at the sight of the back of a blonde head of hair.

"Yes Connie, come in, and may I formally introduce you to one of my ex assistants, Serena Southerlyn. She'll be assisting us on how to proceed in the Corne Case."

As the gorgeous blonde turned in her chair Connie got a bit short of breath, the smile Serena threw Connie's way did nothing to slow her heart and by the end of their greetings she thought she was going to pass out. Of course, Jack was oblivious to everything going on in front of him, so he went along with business as usual as the two women in front of him reeled from each other's short contact.

"Well, that's about all I can give you two. Connie, how about you take Ms. Southerlyn out to dinner courtesy of the DA's office and help her to feel more at home? I know neither of you have anything to do, don't even start that. Have a nice night ladies." And with that Jack looked back down at another case file in front of him effectively dismissing the pair.

Connie stood up a bit awkwardly, "Uh, ok then. Serena, shall we go?" she said motioning out the door.

"Sure thing, goodnight Jack, pleasure to see you again." Serena said as she followed Connie outside.

"Sorry about him, he's gotten less likeable in his old age."

"Ha ha, hate to break it to you Connie, but he was always that way." Serena retorted. "You know if you have plans for dinner or something we don't have to listen to the fossil. I know you have to have someone waiting for you to come home…"

"No! I mean, actually the only person I'm going home to is Numi. And she won't mind."

"Numi? That's a strange name. She your girlfriend? Roommate…?"

Connie laughed out loud and Serena was momentarily struck dumb. "No way, Numi is my cat. No girlfriend to speak of right now. Just my job, but you know how that can be, don't you?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Branch firing me could probably been the best move for my social life I've ever been forced to make."

As they approached Connie's office she decided to bite the bullet. "So, dinner? Neither of us has anything better to do it seems…" she trailed off and looked over at Serena, who was smiling.

"Sure, I'd like that. Where are we gonna go?"

"I was thinking this great Italian place kind of close to my apartment. Let me just grab my jacket…" she unlocked her office and went inside to her desk for to collect her stuff. As she did Serena poked around a bit. On Connie's bookshelf was a picture of what appeared to be Connie's family, there were also pictures of her and ADA Casey Novak making funny faces at what was probably a Yankees game, since both were wearing Yankees hats, Casey and her in what looked like a frat house during Halloween, Connie and Casey in a team photo, and finally the two posing in a shared apartment.

"You two good friends?" Serena casually asked pointing to the pictures.

"Huh? Oh yeah, we went to law school together and interned together, lived together for a short while… We also both played on the softball team in college. I may not look it, but I was a great pitcher back in my day, until an injury." Connie shrugged and grabbed her jacket. "Anything else detective, or would you like to eat instead? It IS on the office you know. I'm thinking really expensive wine."

"Say no more, the interrogation is over. Lead the way counselor." Serena smiled and bowed a bit motioning toward the door before Connie stepped out smiling.

For now that is, I'd like to know what's up with you and Casey.
