So, I forgot about the audience for this show being relatively small for now, so I have decided to nix whatever I said earlier and this is the 'just for laughs' chapter. This leads to something MUCH bigger though. Anddd I have decided to elongate the story, even with your dismay, (*sarcasm*) so you should all LOVE what is to come.

Megan drove almost impatiently to the address that was programmed into her GPS, her heart pounding and her mind racing the entire time. Just before she left, Kate had scribbled her address on a piece of note paper with her name on it, and left it on Megan's desk, a noticeable lipstick print at the bottom of the sticky note.

Megan was so nervous, she could hardly keep her eyes on the road, and thanked whoever created the wonderful universe for allowing her to not swerve at the precise time a cop had been trapping speeders with his radar. Fortunately enough, her parasthesia hadn't been causing a problem, but she kept fully aware, just in case it did.

Kate waited patiently for her 'date' to arrive, but she was quite nervous as well, pacing back and forth her living room, hoping she wasn't too forward in her note. "Ahh god, why did I have to kiss the bottom of the note!" She argued with herself for the next five minutes over the same topic before trying to calm herself down and rationalizing with herself. Her heart pounded in her chest, and the sound made her ears ring, so she decided she was in need a glass of wine, prior to them getting drinks that night.

She poured herself a glass of Chardonnay, and was saddened to find she only had enough in the bottle for half the glass. When she threw the bottle away, she was relieved to find another bottle of wine stashed away in the back of her fridge, waiting to be opened later. Kate still kicked herself mentally, wondering why she did this, why she had left the note, and why it was so damn necessary that she be attracted to a coworker!

Just as she picked up the phone to check the time, (it was 8:30 on the nose) the doorbell rang, and Kate's heart skipped a beat…

Kate opened the door to see the smiling face of Dr. Megan Hunt on her doorstep, double checking the note Kate had given her to make sure she was at the right apartment. The women exchanged greetings and Kate offered Megan to come inside. As she stepped in, Megan felt the warmth of the apartment slow down her heartbeat for a moment, until Kate offered her to come into the kitchen so they could have a glass of wine.

"What a polite hostess" Megan thought as she kicked off her heels and walked toward the kitchen, her heart still in her throat. She walked slowly, stopping briefly to admire the painting Kate had on the wall in her dining room, before hearing Kate say something to her from the kitchen.

She walked into the small kitchen, and replied, "I'm sorry, I was in the dining room, what did you say?" Kate looked at her, almost with a wince on her face, trying to remove the cork from the other bottle of wine, and repeated, " I said, I am out of Chardonnay, but would you mind Pinot Noir?" Just as she said that, the bottle popped open a bit of cool steam protruded from the top. Megan then nodded that was fine, and Kate poured her a glass. They sat on the couch for the next hour and a half, enjoying their wine and enjoying each other's company just as well.

Megan could hardly keep her eyes open she was laughing so hard, and then laughed at the tears streaming down her face. For a brief moment, Kate stopped laughing and used her thumb to wipe the mascara stained tear from Megan's face, and her stayed there for a moment, cupping Megan's cheek, admiring the woman's glorious smile. Megan then grabbed the woman's hand, removing it from her face and held it in her own for a few seconds. Megan then took a glance at the clock, astonished when she saw how long they had sat there, and stood, releasing her grip from the other woman.

Kate felt sad for a brief moment when she lost the warm feeling of the other woman's hand in hers, but was cheered back up when Megan said, "Come on, let's get out of here and do what we really came to do. But, can we eat first?" Kate stood and smiled at the request, nodding her head, and then both women headed for the door. Megan grabbed her coat, purse, heels, and keys all in one swift swoop as Kate ran back to her bedroom closet to find a suitable jacket for the night.

They headed out the door to Megan's car, which was in fact a rental. "I didn't think you would care for us to be driving in the Prius with Medical Examiner on the doors. That's not very…ladylike" Megan mentioned as she opened the door of the black SUV for Kate. "Yes, I am quite glad you didn't drive that little skateboard, and you didn't have to go over the top though, did you?" Kate's reply got a well-planned mischievous grin from Megan, who then stated, "Well…I was hoping to persuade you to maybe…if budget allowed…for letting me and Peter drive something like this to crime scenes? Do you know how embarrassing it is to pull up in that Prius?" Kate just laughed at the comment, and when she saw the look on Megan's face, she laughed even harder, wishing she had a camera.

"We shall see, Dr. Hunt. We shall see." Kate replied just in time for them to pull up at a local bar and grill, and when they pulled in, the two women said in unison, "I love this place!" They then smiled at each other, and got out of the vehicle, and walked in holding hands, neither one realizing that they had.

When they got inside, they found a small table big enough for two and sat down, ready to order drinks, and food. Just after they had ordered their drinks, (somehow they both liked appletinis…) Kate heard a loud rumbling coming from Megan, and attempted to hold back her giggle until she found out what the strange noise was. "Ugh, I didn't know I was THAT hungry!" Megan sighed, placing one hand on her stomach as if to relieve its grumbling and placing the menu down with the other. "I know what I'll have."

Kate had completely forgotten about looking at the menu, and quickly chose something at random she knew she'd like. When their drinks came, Megan began the ordering, with a simple cheeseburger and curly fries, and feeling rather repetitive, Kate ordered the same, claiming she didn't want to confuse the waitress, plus she loved their burgers. After they ordered, they continued to sip their drinks and talk some more about work, life, love, and everything in between, sharing many laughs throughout.

Finally when their food came, the table got quiet, only for a moment though, because after a few bites, the women started up their conversation again, this time about how amazing the burgers were, and messy, and greasy, but that's what made it a damn good burger. They finished their meal, and Megan took care of the bill, leaving the tab open in case they wanted more drinks. (Which they did)

So, after a few more appletinis, shots, and a beer or two, the ladies decided to call it a night, and left the bar at around 2 am. Megan headed toward the SUV, unlocking it only for a moment, just so she could grab a bag from the back, only because she knew she was too intoxicated to drive. "Hey, you know you can't *hiccup* drive us back like this." Kate said, stumbling to where Megan was. "I am only grabbing a bag from the car" Megan said in her best snooty voice, "I hope you don't mind if I crash with you tonight, I don't think I'd know how to get home." Kate grabbed Megan's hand, and nodded, then hailed them a cab.

When one finally came, they both sort of fell into the backseat, falling over each other as they climbed in, and giggling about it the entire time. When the driver asked where to go, Kate gave him her address, and then looked at Megan to confirm it was right, given their current status. As they drove off, the two women leaned into each other, whispering nonsense into one another's ears, and holding hands the entire ride.

When the cab came to a stop at Kate's building, the two women pulled out what cash they could find, and handed it to the man, not realizing they gave him a 35 dollar tip. They fumbled up the flight of stairs to Kate's apartment, nearly tripping over the last few, and kept on giggling. As Kate dug around her purse for her keys, Megan looked off into the distance, and when she looked back, Kate had bent over to retrieve the contents that had fallen out of her purse, (her keys being part of that) and Megan took the liberty of smacking Kate on the ass, who blushed, then giggled about it before returning the favor and smacking Megan on the ass.

A few moments later, after more fits of giggles and ass-smacking, they finally made it into the door of the apartment, and stumbled all the way to the bedroom. Megan went and changed in the bathroom, coming out with nothing but a long t-shirt on, and then collapsed on the bed. When Kate emerged from the bathroom, she was completely nude, with the exception of her red heels she had worn to the bar.

"There's something *pause* I forgot to tell you about me when I have tequila" Kate slurred as she approached Megan's side of the bed. "My clothes fall off!" She said, as she tumbled onto the bed on top of Megan. Trying to be her normal self while in a drunken state, Megan decided that Kate needed some clothes, so in her quest to give Kate some clothes, she took off her t-shirt as she was half-wrestling Kate off of her and somewhat handed it to Kate who had managed to remove her heels in the midst of their wrestling match. Kate threw the shirt aside, stating in another slur, "I don't need that. And neither do you." She said, poking Megan in the chest. Kate climbed under the covers and looked at Megan.

"I must say, I really did have fun tonight. And this, this this fun time you and I had together, it was definitely necessary! And and we must do it again!" Kate muttered the last part with her index finger up in the air as if she was preaching, which got Megan into another fit of giggles as she tried to get under the covers as well, forgetting she was naked too.

"Well that's great darling, lets definitely do it again sometime, but for now, let's get some sleep." Megan slurred, patting Kate's arm, before turning to look at her with tired eyes. "Sounds good then. Good night." Kate replied, turning toward Megan. Megan smiled and planted a soft kiss on Kate's lips, and then closed her eyes. Of course when Kate realized what had just happened (about 10 drunken seconds later), she placed a wet kiss on Megan's lips, applying more pressure than she wanted, but felt relieved when Megan didn't give her an evil look, but instead reciprocated the kiss, deepening it with hidden passion neither of them knew was there before.

When the need for air was too great, they parted, neither of them realizing what had just gone down between them until they were both asleep, wrapped in each other's arms. (Did I mention they were naked?)
