A/N: I didn't exactly want to leave it there so I'm adding a second chapter the real main reason this one was about to get across.
Yes I know this is a fic about Sara and Greg but there will be parts of Nick and Katie in here too.
Your Black Dress In Disarray
--
Just as Sara was unlocking her door to come in and sleep for the next few hours, the bonus of working with a top notch lab meant that once a year came a time where every shift was closed down for one night while system and equipment upgrades where ran, surrounding labs dealt with the crimes and processed and left you the workload when you got back. And that's when it had to happen. Tomorrow night. When they all had it off, sure she could invite Catherine and Warrick and such but that just meant getting raised eyebrows from the two and possibly countless others who would show up and see Sara Sidle dancing and having a good time, a rarity if they ever did see one.
Her phone rang, recognizing the number as one she had called yesterday she was glad to hear from her.
"Katie did –
"I need details, where, when stuff like that and you've got about ten minutes, Nick just left to go get milk and yes I know he's a stickular for only liking to get groceries once a week but when I purposely although he doesn't know that, drop it on the floor before he's had his morning coffee or cereal, he has to go get some"
"Oh"
"Time's a ticking" now that she thought about it, it didn't seem like such a good idea, it was stupid. What other option did she have? Like Katie said Times a ticking it wasn't long before Greg decided to move on from her once he felt the conquest had been fulfilled which in his opinion already had. So she had mere days before he would call it quits.
"How about The Dunes at 9?"
"That the new one on Clearwater and Burnaby?"
"Ya" Sara heard the front door open, she quickly added in "make sure he comes alone"
"I'm sorry I think you have the wrong number" Click. Nick was home.

"Who was that?" Nick asked coldly, he was a little grumpy that Katie had dropped the milk on the floor by accident or purpose he really didn't know, all he knew was he hadn't had his morning coffee yet or his Captain Crunch and he was feeling moody.
"It was an accident I grabbed it, and it slipped from my hand, I'm sorry" she pouted at him, her new found talent of puppy dog eyes accompanying her pout.
"Don't worry about it" he sat the milk on the counter away from her but neglected to touch her or come near her for that matter. Not like the last couple of days where he was always touching her.
She watched him as he drank his coffee with the new milk, knowing she needed him a good mood she had to butter him up. Removing the coffee cup from his hand she slipped her hands around him holding tight, breathing in his scent and stepping on tiptoes so he caught a whiff of her shampoo that had always been his undoing before.
"You can spill something of mine if you want" she tried, she was relieved when she saw the corners of his mouth twitch he was trying not to smile.
"I've got something to talk to you about" and she went on to urge him to ask Greg out for dancing.

Sara had very little to do on this very day, she thought of ways to try and convince Greg to go out with her if Katie failed, she wasn't worried about Katie getting Nick to do something, he would do anything for her; it was kinda of sweet really but the fact that Greg may not go for the night of dancing and it would be a shame for no one to see the black new dress she had in the back of her closet.
It was a shame really.
Sara received a call shortly after eleven, she could hear water running in the back ground and figured either Katie was in the bathroom pretending to shower or she was close to Nick when he was showering. Three words were only spoken and even then in a quiet hush.
"It's a go" the words brought a smile to Sara's face the black dress would be in a puddle on the floor by tomorrow night's end she was sure of it.
A/N: I'm thinking of doing a POV from Nick and Katie because different things happen.
