Hi again! First of, I want everyone to understand this (feel free to skip this Author's note),

This FanFiction is mostly about Nick's week without Juliette. So when I say 1 week I mean 7 days. But now I have decided that some 'days' will be divided into parts/chapters. So at the end of all this, you should get 7 different days but more than 7 different chapters in total. Ok, so now I hope I didn't confuse you. If you do have questions just ask in the reviews, but I'm sure you'll get me.

That aside, this is Part 1 of Day 2 of the week. I hope will you like it. And as always, I'd appreciate reviews. Thanks to those who have already read or reviewed.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. Also, I'm not even sure if these 'laws' stated in the story are even real. The theme park is obviously not real.

ANYWAY Here's the story:

Part 1 of Day 2 : A Day Off With Rollercoasters And Lines

"But Captain, we insist. All of us!"

"Hank, I've already spoken to you. Why is it that I always have to repeat myself?"

"C'mon, please! I just got here at the precinct. It's fine!"

"Detective Griffin, for the last time: take a day off today. You are NOT going to work today. You, along with Wu and Nick already had a very stressful time for the past few days. And the three of you even managed to solve all cases, with barely any assistance for crying out loud! So do yourself a favour. Go home and take a break. Just for one day."

"But I want to work. And I want to work for pay."

Sean Renard thought for a moment. Nobody likes to work here at the precinct. At least over-work anyway. But Hank had a point. Still, Hank, Nick and Wu needed a break. Even if they didn't want it. Being the Captain sure was hard, but it came with privileges...

"Ok. You have 2 options. Either the 3 of you take the day off WITH pay, or get suspended from work for 3 days. Now you're a smart man, so make the right decision."

There was a small pause when Hank let the offer sink in.

"Fine." He spoke reluctantly, "We'll take the day off with the pay. Are you even sure about giving us this? Sure you don't need us?"

"You maybe one of the best detectives I have, but don't flatter yourself. Now I got one question, why are you speaking for the other 2 also?"

Hank looked back into his memory and remembered how he foolishly agreed to the 'terms and conditions' of Wu and Nick. He decided to give a straight answer, one that Renard always expected.

"We drew straws."

Renard gave a nod to show he understood, and with that he turned around to leave to get back to his office. But he couldn't quite go yet.

"Captain!" the detective called out, "What should we do now?"

The man turned around and answered, "Legally, if you're a police officer/detective, you can jump queues. Even the long ones. Use your badge wisely. Now go and tell the others."

*Later*

"So, did you do it?" asked Nick.

"What did he say?" Wu added.

Hank chose his words carefully before revealing the news. "Captain didn't let us stay, but he did let us have a day off with pay. He also said and I quote: 'Legally, if you're the police, you can jump queues. Even the long ones. Use your badge wisely.' So I was thinking, maybe we could go to that amusement park today and jump a few queues and you know, have a little fun. Besides, this is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Renard's in a good mood today -strange, so we can't let this offer just pass by. So what do you say? "

Nick didn't think twice. Juliette's out of Portland, I got nothing to do at home. I'm still receiving payment and the amusement park does sound good.

Because if he did think again, he would have realised he still needed to print a lot of photos, do this morning's dishes and vacuum the house.

Wu on the other hand took a look at the calendar in his head. Yesterday: library books due, dinner with family, Today: blank, Tomorrow: report should be given. He liked being on track and organised.

"Yeah, I'll be able to come." He finalised

"I don't have any plans at all." Nick 'recalled'.

Hank was relieved. He hadn't had been on a rollercoaster for a quite a while. It's about time he went on one again. Then again, life was already a rollercoaster when you're a Portland detective who just realised the world was so much weirder than it seems. Oh, and when your partner is a Grimm.

"Good. I'll text both of you the address and admission fees and I'll meet you there in, let's say an hour. The drive's like half an hour. And don't forget to have your badge on you. It's gonna be handy."

And with that they parted ways to get to their house, preparing for their day out.

*Soon*

"What about Monroe?" Nick asked himself. Quickly, he took out his phone out of his pocket and called his neighbour. "Hey it's me, Nick. Do you want to go to the amusement park with me, Hank and Wu today? We're leaving in half an hour or so."

On the other end, Monroe was with Rosalee at the spice shop. They too have plans. Rosalee gave a small frown. And Monroe didn't want to just leave her. No, they've been planning this trip for a long time.

"Sorry man, but me and Rosalee are going on another picnic at this garden nearby. Don't worry about us. Anyway, enjoy yourselves."

"And don't get into trouble again." Rosalee called out.

Honestly, he was a bit disappointed. But nevertheless, he answered in a positive tone. "Thanks for the advice. Okay, have fun at your picnic. See ya!"

At the back of his mind, Nick knew this day at the amusement park isn't going to be quite normal.

Don't forget to review! :)
