This is my first CSI: NY fanfic. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think!!! I really wanted to read something about what lead up to Snowday. I have read a few but I always am looking for more about this so I thought I'd try it. I thought it was going to be a one shot but probably only 2-3 chapters depended on how I am feeling.

I usually write Bones fics but haven't done that in a while. If you like Bones read some of them! Thanks for checking this out!!! Please review if you get a chance...tell me what ya think!

Disclaimor: Of course I own nothing:

The Night Before the Snowday

Danny checked the clock for the 100th time in the past few hours. 4:25….only 35 more minutes till the rest of my life.

He sighed and turned back to the trace he was running on their most recent case. Some guy had fallen through the ceiling of a building down town but no one knew where the body came from. Only thing they had to go on to get an ID was a sticky substance covering the victims body. Finger prints had no hit and of course there wasn't an ID on the vic. He seemed to just fall out of the sky as there were no traces of the substance on the roof of the building nor of anything to suggest that there was anyone else up there.

He sighed and looked at the clock again. 4:29….still can't call it a day yet.

He shivered as he felt Lindsay walk up behind him and place a hand on his hip. She leaned forward and he could feel her body press against his as whispered in his hear "Ready for tonight cowboy?"

Danny gulped. Oh the effects that woman had on him. She could make him do anything she wanted and he would be helpless in saying no to that face. They weren't officially together yet and he knew that if he played his cards right then tonight would change the.

Danny and Lindsay had been close for a while now. She had tried to pull away from him but after he flew across the country to be with her when she testified in Montana they had had a silent commitment of sorts. Neither had put a label on what they were nor where they at the place where they could yet. They just hung out quite a bit; more often than not it would be just the two of them. But none of these were considered dates. Danny didn't want to push her and he knew that after what happened she wasn't ready for the relationship he wanted yet. But hopefully, just hopefully, tonight would be the turning point in their relationship and they would be 'official.'

Flashback

Danny was changing into a different pair of shoes to go out to the case he had just been called out on. Some guy fell through the roof of a building and he had been told it was pretty messy. He didn't want to get his favorite pair of shoes messed up so he always kept a spare in his locker. He had just sat down to pull on the rubber like boot when he heard the door open. He turned around to see Lindsay standing at the doorway with a smirk on her face.

"Good morning Montana." Danny smiled at his friend.

"Hey, I heard you got called out."

"Yeah."

"Well…." She paused. "I thought I might not get to see you till later so I would ask what you were doing tonight?"

"I don't have plans yet. We could watch the game or hang out. You have something specific in mind?" Danny questioned. He had gotten pretty good at reading her and knew there was something she wanted to say but wasn't.

"Uh… I thought that maybe we could have dinner and drinks."

"Okay. Sounds good." Danny smiled at her. There was something she still wasn't saying. "What gives Montana? I know you want to say something else."

His smiled put her at ease. "Well it's just that we hand out all the time but I was thinking maybe tonight could be different."

"Okay, what did you have in mind?"

"We could maybe go out together."

"What's different about that? We have been out every night this week."

"Yeah but maybe tonight we could go out, go out. Like on a date." She whispered the last part and looked down at her hands as she flattened her palms over hips in hopes of riding them of the sweat that had started to build up there. It's just Danny, why am I so nervous? Probably because you just asked him out on an actual date.

Caught in her own thoughts, she didn't realize Danny had walked up to face her. She only noticed him when he put his hand on her cheek to move her eyes back up to meet his.

"I would love to Montana." He grinned that grin that could make her melt and it immediately put her at ease with the situation.

She smiled back up at him. "Okay good. Now you should go before Mac comes looking for you."

"I will see you tonight."

"It's a date." She laughed.

End Flashback

"Danny?" She asked as he was clearly lost in thought.

"Uh yeah Montana. Can't wait." He smiled as he turned to face her.

"Good. I will meet you at 7 at Calisto's?"

"How about I meet you at your apartment at 7 and escort you to Calisto's?"

She smiled at him "You would have to come all the way across town and back."

"I don't mind. I want to do this right."

"Okay. Be at my place at 7, and don't be late." She turned and walked towards the doors of the trace lab running her eyes over the place to make sure no one had seen them. Everyone knew that they hung out but she didn't want anyone to know that they had an actual date yet. A date. I am excited. I can't believe I am finally going out on a date with Danny.

Danny glanced up at the clock again 4:47. Just enough time to put this stuff up and get home to take a shower before my date. I can't believe that we are going on an actual date. Danny smiled to himself as he gingerly put the clothing he was working with back into the evidence bags. He then left the lab with a little skip in his step. Tonight, tonight will change everything. I just hope everything goes perfect.

Danny rushed out of the lab to put the evidence back in the evidence locker. He didn't see Stella until it was too late. He leaned down to pick up the bags that had just scattered across the floor and looked up at the woman dusting herself off. "Sorry about that Stel."

"In a hurry Danny?" She smiled.

"Uh yeah."

"That wouldn't have anything to do with another CSI you happen to call Montana would it?"

Danny blushed. "Why would you say that?"

"Just curious." She picked up the bag that was at her feet. "Don't break her heart Danny or I will break more than that."

"I would never hurt her Stel."

"So this does have something to do with Lindsay."

"I didn't say that. I just said I would never intentionally hurt her."

Stella handed him back the bag and grinned as she stepped aside. "Don't want you to be late for whatever it is you are in a hurry for Danny."

"Thanks Stel." Danny hurried down the hall to turn in the evidence.

As Stella turned around she saw a grinning Lindsay walking down the hallway towards her with a dreamy grin on her face.

Stella laughed. "Lindsay can I talk to you for a minute?" pulling Lindsay out of her reverie.

"Sure Stel, what's up?"

Stella put her arm around Lindsay's shoulders and walked her into her office. "So tell me what's going on tonight."

"What do you mean?"

"You and Danny both have this silly grin plaster on your faces all day and he just ran out of here like his life depended on, seemed to be in a hurry. I know it has to be something to do with you. That boy doesn't move that fast after a shift unless there is a Yankee's game on and they aren't playin' tonight."

"We have a date tonight. But you can't tell anyone."

"Why? It's not the first time you guys have gone out. Everyone already knows about you two."

"No Stel, we aren't together, yet." Lindsay smiled.

"So tonight is the first official date?"

"Yep."

Stella giggled at the younger CSI in front of her.

"Well your secret is safe with me. What are you guys going to do?"

"We are gonna eat at Calisto's and have a few drinks."

"Calisto's is nice. Did he pick it or did you?"

"I did, why?"

"Just curious, Calisto's is a great place but it isn't all that fancy. I was just curious as to who picked it to see who didn't want to dress up tonight." Stella smiled.

"Yeah I thought they whole dressing to the nine's thing was over rated and I am never comfortable like that. I picked Calisto's because it's casual but we can have a nice quiet meal there."

"Good choice."

Lindsay looked down at her watch. It was just after 5 and Danny would be by her apartment in less that two hours.

Noticing Lindsay look at her watch Stella replied "You should get going. What time is he picking you up?"

"At seven, but I still have 30 minute before my shift ends."

"You have worked hard today kiddo, go ahead and go. You don't want to keep him waiting."

"Thanks Stel." Lindsay smiled and pulled the other woman into a hug.

"No problem. Have fun tonight. But not to much fun, you have an early shift tomorrow morning."

Lindsay smiled and headed to the locker room to collect her purse.

So what'd ya think?! Please let me know!
