A/N- You guys have been asking for it, so I'll give it to you. This one took a little longer though. I ran out of the ones that were already written, and had to come up with it.
At the end of day three, everyone went to bed early, of course, after getting the scoop on Sara's ordeal at the lake. In the morning, they all rose around three, so that they could make it to the top of the mountain in time to see the sunrise. They had thought it was a good idea last night, but getting up that early was not part of the plan.
Luckily, the bags had been packed the night before, with all of their breakfast needs.
Slowly, they set off up the trail.
"Warrriick," Catherine moaned, "Carry meeee."
"Yeah, right. It's your fault you didn't pack any hiking boots."
"I packed hiking boots, and I still want to be carried," Greg complained.
"Okay, Cath, come here."
Catherine smiled, heading over to Warrick, who gave her his pack. She hauled it on top of hers, then hugged Warrick's neck, piggy back.
"Better?" He asked.
She just smiled and nodded.
After ten minutes, Warrick complained, "Jeez, Cath, whatchoo been eating?"
Catherine ignored him. Twenty more minutes, and Catherine was put down to walk on her own.
Warrick turned to the other guys, "I did my part of chivalry, what have you guys done to keep it alive?"
"You guys don't know what a real gentleman is," Grissom stated.
"Okay, Griss, I'll bite, what is a real gentleman?" Nick asked.
"He opens doors for everyone, pulls out and pushes in a ladies seat, makes suprise dinners, doesn't just think about getting layed," He looked pointedly.
"Yeah, and how would you know this? When's the last time you been on a date?" Catherine asked.
"Chivalry doesn't die if you don't excersize it."
"Yeah, okay."
Sara caught his eye and smiled. Greg came up beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"So, Sara," He sighed. She smirked, hiding her smile, "What is it, Greg?"
Greg winked at her before running ahead to catch up with Nick. Catherine and Warrick had begun meandering behind Grissom and Sara. Far behind. The two that were left drifed across the path towards each other.
"So," Sara started, " chivalry, huh?"
"it is not as dead as you might think."
"I don't think it's dead, I'm just wondering who you've done such things to."
"I assure you she is very special."
Sara smiled and hung her head. They turned the corner to find Greg and Nick already busy setting up for their breakfast.
"Hey, guys, where's Cath and Warrick?"
"Fell behind."
"Well, they better hurry up unless they want to miss this."
Sara grumbled, "Yeah, well, I'm not the one who wants to go find them."
"Well, aren't you a little grumpy in the morning?" Greg smirked.
Sara glared at him over the coffee he handed her. Nick started down the path to find the other two. Sara looked over at Grissom, trying to get him to turn to her without saying anything, and so he did. She nudged her head towards a bulk of trees that started to form a little to the left, and farther back from the ledge. The both headed over there.
Greg turned around, and seeing nobody there, yelled, "GUYS!"
GGGGG
Sara and Grissom dissappeared behind the knoll of trees that grew there.
"So, do you think Nick is going to find them?"
"I think they want to be alone," Sara yawned.
"We should have tied him to a rope so he didn't get lost."
"I don't care what you should have done. I just hope he doesn't stumble upon something else."
Grissom smiled. They sat on a rock together, watching the sky get lighter by the minute.
HHHHHHHH
Warrick shooshed Catherine as they heard the Texan stumbling through the trees yelling at them. Reaching over, he pulled a pine cone off the tree they were in and chucked it at Nick, hitting in the back of the head.
Nick swirled around furiously. Seeing no one there, he continued down the path. Catherine threw a nut at him. Nick saw the obect that had hit him.
"What am I squirrel practice!?" He yelled looking up into the trees.
Catherine started to giggle so hard that she almost fell out of the tree. Warrick caught her by the front of her pants. He was too late as Nick stormed over to them.
"You! You think that was funny! You coulda poked my eye out! I'd like to see how funny it would be if you fell!"
And so she did, landing right on top of Nick, and flatening them both as Warrick started cackling from the tree, working his way down.
Catherine rolled off of Nick in hysterics. Nick layed there for a minute before slowly getting up and looking at her angrily, "Tell the other's I'm heading back to camp."
He started hobbling towards camp as the other two headed to the ridge. They found Greg standing there with his hands on his hips. He turned at the snap of a twig.
"There you guys are, where's Nick?"
"He had to retire," Warrick said as Catherine stifled her laughter again.
"Where are Grissom and Sara?"
"Over there," Greg pointed to a bunch of trees. They saw two pairs of feet.
"Oooo, I wonder whats going on over there," Catherine started to step, but Warrick grabbed her arm.
"If you ever want anything to happen over there, you better not disturb them, besides, I know some guys you could watch the sunrise with. So the others sat down on a blanket there.
GGGGGGG
Sara watched him as he watched everything around him. The world was waking up, and he wanted to see it all. From the dew to the flowers opening, everything caused the blue sparkle that was famous and infamous for Gilbert Grissom.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing," She shook her head, "We should probably get back."
They joined everyone else, Sara sitting next to Greg, with Grissom on the other side, and Catherine and Warrick off by themselves to Greg's other side.
They watched as the sun announced its presence. Grissom took Sara's hand.
Greg spoke, "You know, we usually see the sun rise everyday, but this is different, somehow special."
"Then don't ruin it," Nick called out from behind him as he settled in between Greg and Catherine. Sara smirked and wrapped her free arm around Greg's shoulder. And they sat there, watching the sun rise.
