A/N: I could not believe my wide eyes that I got ten reviews for the first chapter of this thing. That's amazing. I think I'll do the next one…
For Miss Calleigh Duquesne, it was a very sunny day in Miami, Florida. It seemed unusually great to be alive today, and nothing was going to destroy that happiness. She had fun planting that muffin on her boss's desk, even though she had no idea who did the anonymous note to him about how the muffin represented him.
Unfortunately, the fact that Tim Speedle was dead still haunted her. That was certain.
The woman sighed and went into the evidence lab. She didn't have any cases she had to work on, but she felt like she was in her comfort zone when she was there. How could she not?
Something caught her eye near the microscopes. It was circular, fluffy…
She grinned. "Muffin."
She walked over to the piece of food and examined it. Notes were next to it. The ballistics expert picked up the first note and read:
To Calleigh Duquesne:
You've been picked to accept the second muffin of Muffinism. As you may know, Muffinism is a type of 'religion' in which you give the ones you care about a muffin, the way it relates to them, and a note from the ones you know how much you mean to them. Your muffin is a chocolate chip muffin.
-Anonymous
Her eyes widened with delight. Calleigh had always found Muffinism to be a fun topic to work off of. It was like the Secret Santa sort of thing, but in a completely different sense. She never had done it at the lab until the time she was told to write something to Horatio.
Someone had decided to start the religion anew.
She picked up the "Muffin Description" piece of paper and read:
Your muffin is a chocolate chip muffin. Your sweet nature causes others to be deliriously happy around you- except for the criminals, of course. They're nervous that they may get caught up in the way you get caught up with Ryan Wolfe. Everybody knows of your serious ways on the job, but when it comes to social time, you are sweeter than even raw cookie dough. That's one muffin I'd love to have- you.
Calleigh smiled. It was actually ironic for her to get this flavor. She loved chocolate chips with a passion- semi-sweet, sweet, dark, milk, mint, mini, the whole lot of them. Then again, people who did the whole Muffinism thing usually had to know the person inside and out.
Go figure.
The girl picked up the friend note and giggled to herself.
Calleigh,
You've been a really big help to the Miami team for a good long time. Keep going in your efforts to serve us mot only as a detective, but as a friend to all of us.

Cal,
A friend needs someone they can lean on once in a while to spill their sorrows and triumphs. You're the one that I can go to. Thanks!

Cal,
I don't think any one saw me write this part right here. I love you.
Tim
We love you so much, Miss Duquesne. Keep up your great work.
She blinked as she saw a $25.00 Starbucks gift card slip out.
Tim Speedle? The Timothy Speedle?
A/N: I know you're probably thinking 'What?!?' Don't worry; Horatio is also going to get something from dearest Tim. Rest assured it will be completely different. As in an actual conversation… please review! Thanks!
