Friends : New & Old
Part 2 : Walker, Texas Ranger
Author's Note
Firstly, this was co-wrote with one of my good friends, who wishes to remain nameless. This is a C.S.I. crossover. We have tried to make it where if you do not like CSI very much, or you do not know about them, then you can read this and it still makes sense. (You must be living in a hole if you don't know about CSI because it has been #1 in the country for a couple years now.) If you do like this go to C.S.I. section and read the same story, but with Nick and Sara as the main characters and scenes not in this one. (That is why we call this story Part 2. Part 1 is the CSI side of the story.) We hope you enjoy. Please read it and then review it. We need all the help, encouragement, and constructive criticism we can get. This is our first attempt at a Fan Fiction story, so please review. The first chapter is extremely short, I know, and slow. It has a purpose, we just couldn't think of anything else to put in the first chapter to correspond with Part 1, in that CSI comes into the story in the second chapter. WARNING: Gage and Sydney romance. Please help us and bear with us. Thank you. - Allyssa McCoy
Summary
After a bust, Sydney Cooke and Francis Gage run into Sydney's childhood friend, Nick Stokes and his co-worker Sara Sidle.
Prologue
This is set in May, about a year after Angela was born. In my world Trivette and Erica were married 2 weeks ago and are still on their honeymoon. Also Sydney and Gage have been partners only for a total of a little over 6 years and are best friends. Also Alex is District Attorney instead of Assistant District Attorney (I don't remember if she ever got the promotion before the season ended, but she has it in my world).
Sydney's past (because I don't ever remember the show talking about it) goes like this:
Sydney was born and raised in Dallas. She had a brother that was four years younger than her, Jeremey, and a sister six years younger, Lindsey. Jeremey's best friend was Nick Stokes. Sydney, Nick, and Jeremey were in a tragic car accident when Jeremey and Nick were 14. After that Sydney's father moved them to Houston, to escape the 'memories'. Sydney went into law enforcement in Houston. Several years later she became a Ranger. That is where she met Gage and they became partners. Sydney's father died about 3 years ago of a heart attack so Sydney felt she could move safely back to Dallas without hurting her father's feelings. Mrs. Cooke and Lindsey, and her family, still live in Houston.
Prologue For CSI Side
This can be set almost anytime in the C.S.I. world, in May. Although, in my world, after Sara asked Grissiom out and her turned her down, she got over him completely. FYI: I hate the last scene of the Season Finale "Bloodlines".
Disclaimers
I do not own Walker, Texas Ranger. They belong to to Christopher Canaan, Leslie Greif, Paul Haggis, etc. (It use to come on CBS but now the reruns are on USA network.) Yes, this is a C.S.I. crossover. I also do not own them. C.S.I. belongs to CBS, Jerry Bruckheimer, Anthony Zuiker, etc. If you recognize anything, I don't own it.
I know the Governor of Texas is not named Michael Allen and there never was one. I do not want to speculate on a real person so I made Governor Allen and his family up. This is probably not making a lot of sense right now but it will toward the end of chapter four and later chapters.
About 'Pasados'. Yes, it is a real Mexican restaurant in Dallas and it is great! Although, neither one of us own it or have anything to do with it except for eat there whenever we can.
PS
Bonus points to anyone who can name why my friend picked the name Lindsey for Sydney's sister. Hint: There are celebrity siblings by the names (only it is Sidney instead of Sydney). Theses two sisters played on one of her favorite shows. The show is older and we are both to young to see anything but reruns. (The answer will be reveled at the last posting for this story.)
