Ok…So I lied about the whole 'tag along before next Tuesday' thing…Obviously, it is later than what that Tuesday was…anywhooo…I have decided to give you what you want; continuation of the last chapter, and something to go with the latest episode where Kate and Megan are now officially civil.

"Uh…umm…Dr. Murphy, y-you wanted t-to see me?" Dr. Ethan Gross asked Dr. Kate Murphy as he stepped into her office. "Yes, Ethan. Have a seat." Kate responded coolly, keeping sharp eye contact with the young doctor. "Dr. Gross you do realize that this little 'crush' of yours will not be able to escalate into a further relationship don't you?"

Ethan looked rather confused for a moment… "I ummm…uh…what are you…Dr. Murphy I…I don't quite know what you are talking about…" Kate gave Ethan a look, but that didn't change the confused expression on Ethan's face.

"Dr. Gross" Kate began once again, holding back her smile with every bit of energy she could muster. "I have recently heard through the grapevine that you have a certain fondness for our new transporter. You do realize that since the two of you work together, you will not be able to pursue a relationship?"

Ethan suddenly blushed. "Dr. Murphy, I…how did you know?"

Kate let a small smile creep out, saying, "your buddy Curtis". Ethan sat back in his chair, and muttered "AH! I should have known it was Curtis!" under his breath.

"Now, Dr. Gross…would you care to go out for drinks with me tonight?" Kate had a somewhat serious look on her face, but it seemed almost genuine.

"But…Dr. Murphy, aren't…didn't…" Kate gave him a 'hmmm?' look. "Dr. Murphy, didn't you just say if I work with somebody I'm not allowed to go out on a…I'm really confused…"

Suddenly, Kate could no longer hold in her laughter, and just busted into a fit of giggles. This only confused Ethan more, who cocked an eyebrow, and sat silently, beginning to laugh a little along with her, even though he had no clue as to why she was laughing.

"Ohhh, haha! Ethan…you should have seen the look…haha!" Kate ceased her laughing for a moment, and put a poker face back on. "Ethan" she put on an ear to ear grin. "Ethan, I was TOTALLY yanking your chain right now. Since you know that I am seeing Dr. Hunt on the DL right now, it would not be right for me to say that you could not pursue your little crush, so as long as you keep it somewhat hush hush. And we aren't going out for drinks either…I have some things to get taken care of."

Ethan sat back in his chair, wanting desperately to not be where he was currently positioned in this situation. "Oh…I see Dr. Murphy. Well, that's all good to know, and um…uh…if you will excuse me Dr. Murphy, I have some *cough* business to take care of. I need to go um speak to um Curtis about um…something. Oh, and you are quite the prankster Dr. Murphy; quite the prankster indeed."

Ethan was just about to leave the room, when Kate briefly stopped him: "Oh, and Ethan…" He looked back at her. "Be careful. She WILL tear you in half if you aren't." Ethan smiled, and left the office, thinking of the best way to get back at Curtis for ratting him out.

"Oh, Curtis!" was all Kate heard in the lab as she left for the night.

Part II

As 12:59 rolled around, Dr. Megan Hunt sat on the couch with her latest copy of Cosmopolitan, she looked at her watch, and sighed. As soon as the small hand on her watch moved to the '1', she heard a key turn in the lock on the door. Just moments later, Dr. Kate Murphy walked in the door, with her purse; keys; and Megan's scarf in one hand, and a bottle of champagne in the other.

"Your late", sung Megan as she sat up on the couch, putting her magazine down on the coffee table as she stood up to greet Kate with a kiss. "Actually" Kate said in between kisses, "I'm…on time." She put her keys on the kitchen counter and her purse on the floor, before handing Megan her scarf. "I believe this is yours my dear." Megan smiled, because she knew she had left it on Kate's desk earlier, but wasn't quite sure how long Kate had planned on keeping it there.

"So what's with the champagne?" Megan asked, placing the scarf around her neck in a sultry fashion. Kate was pouring the champagne into two flutes, and she handed one to Megan. "Well, I was able to play a small prank on Ethan, but I didn't go out for drinks after work. I had some other things to get done at…oh nevermind. Anyway, I wanted some booze, so I picked up this at the grocery store just before they closed."

Megan took a sip of her champagne before speaking. "Mmm…this is good. So you're saying you just want to get me drunk so you can do whatever you wish to me? Because you know, that really isn't necessary." Kate smiled. "No, that's not it at all. But now that you mention it…" Kate stopped in mid-sentence, and took another sip of her champagne before moving to where Megan was. She then began her wonderful assault on Megan's mouth, dueling her champagne coated tongue with Megan's, tasting Megan with the alcohol, and wanting so much more. Kate then slowly removed the scarf from Megan's neck, and began kissing her way down Megan's throat, beginning at her jawline, and ending near her clavicle, only just long enough to say, "I think it's time we go to bed."

Megan smiled into Kate's lips, before grabbing Kate's hand in one of hers, and her scarf in the other. Megan led Kate into the bedroom, curious as to what 'pranks' she could pull tonight, and how many could the scarf be involved with, since Kate was 'quite the prankster' and all.

That's the end for now! Oh I just love being cruel like this. I really hate how these episodes are coming out as what seems like 'filler' episodes though; at least, that's what I call them. (They are only there to keep the show going until an interesting episode comes along.) Please review like I know you want to! If you want s'more Megan and Kate, let me know and I'll see how well my love fire is burning. ;] Also, I just thought about how Halloween is coming up rather quickly, so be prepared for some spooky action soon! There will be aliens, and vampires, and Vaders, and former Borg drones. :] (Can someone say sci-fi Halloween party?)
