A/N: Ok this one is really, really silly. I had no idea what to do for it, so I just thought about what I do with my friends on the 4th of July. :-) enjoy!

July

The sweltering heat of the city rose up to the rooftop of the 16th precinct. The squad was celebrating Independence Day, and Captain Cragen had decided to allow his detectives to have a party on the roof. That way, they were technically on duty (if they needed to be) and they could still have a good time.

"Happy Fourth of July, Liv!" Elliot said as she arrived. "Where's your better half?"

Olivia smiled. "She'll be here in a little while; she just had to get some things from home first."

"So how are things going with you two any way?" Elliot asked tentatively.

"Great." Olivia decided confidently. "I can't believe it's only been seven months! I mean, just a few weeks ago, I basically promised her I'd marry her and…"

"What now?" Munch said, interrupting the conversation. "Did I hear you say that you were planning to marry our little legal eagle?"

Olivia began to blush. "Well, yeah…" she started, looking to Elliot for support.

He threw up is hands in a "you're on your own" gesture, and it took all of Olivia's strength not to show him another kind of gesture. With a small laugh, Elliot turned and went back into the building, muttering that he needed to get something.

"Hey, Fin, get your ass over here!" Munch called to his partner. "You have to hear this!"

"What's up?" Fin said, joining them.

"Olivia says that she's planning to…"

Olivia cut him off, "Please, John!" She said firmly. "It's nothing, Fin, really. I was just saying how I can't believe it's only been almost seven months with Casey and everything…"

"…and that…" Munch began again.

"John!" Olivia barked, "Seriously! Can we just drop it?!"

As she said this, the rooftop door creaked open and out came Casey with two large bags in her hands. She set them down next to Olivia and greeted everyone.

Munch looked at the two women suspiciously and dragged his partner away, letting Casey and Olivia talk privately.

Olivia stood next to Casey looking out onto the bustling streets below. They were so enamored with the conversation that they were having that they never heard Fin and Elliot sneak up behind them carrying a huge bucket of ice water.

With a loud "Happy Fourth of July," they dumped the frigid water on top of the women standing in front of them. They ran away as fast as they could, expecting Casey and Olivia to throw a fit at their now-soaked state.

The joke however was on them, as Casey and Olivia simultaneously screamed and reached down into the bags that Casey had brought with her. They pulled out several water balloons and (to the surprise of the rest of the squad) started throwing them at anyone in sight.

Munch quickly crouched behind a table, out of reach from the flying balloons. Casey threw one perfectly aimed balloon into the middle of Elliot's retreating back, while Olivia threw one that hit Fin square in the back of the head. Both men were caught completely off-guard. They turned around, shocked.

"Where the hell did you guys get those?" Elliot screamed as he was ducking the flying balloons.

"I brought 'em." Casey said matter-of-factly, as she continued to throw perfectly aimed balloons at her friends.

"You just happened to bring two huge bags full of balloons?" Munch asked doubtfully, carefully poking his head up from behind the table.

The only answer Munch received was a balloon hurled at his face from Olivia.

The women continued to fling the water balloons at their co-workers until the rooftop door creaked open. With what was probably the worst timing in the history of the world, Casey threw a balloon at Fin, who was standing not far from the door. At the exact moment that the door opened, Fin stepped away and the water balloon hit Captain Cragen in the center of his face.

"Shit." Everyone said at the same time.

"Who threw that?!" Cragen said, seemingly mad.

Casey braced herself and quietly raised her hand.

Cragen's face softened and he almost smiled. "Nice aim, counselor. The softball team is lucky to have you." With that, he went back down the stairs, closing the door behind him, leaving everyone stunned.

Casey and Olivia were the first ones to erupt with laughter. The rest of the gang soon followed suit.

"Nice work, Case." Olivia teased.

"Hey hey hey!" Casey said, still laughing. "It's not my fault! Fin's the one who moved!"

Casey shivered noticeably. The sun had gone down and it was cooler outside. She was soaked to the bone, and now she was freezing. Olivia noticed how her girlfriend was shaking.

"Be right back," she told Casey.

Olivia returned a few minutes later with a blanket from a bunk in the crib. She wrapped one end around her shoulder and then reached around Casey's slim form with the other.

"Thank you," Casey whispered as she snuggled against Olivia.

"Don't mention it." Olivia said as they sat down.

They sat there holding each other in the blanket, looking up at the sky, watching the fireworks that had just started.

Olivia looked over at Casey, whose face was lit up by each explosion in the sky. She leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her girlfriend's cheek.

Casey smiled. "What was that for?" she asked.

"Just because." Olivia said, smiling, as she turned her attention back to the fireworks.

AN: yes I know it was silly, but I feel the need to address something more serious: the extreme lack of SVU femslash on this site lately! I mean I don't mind reading EO stories, but they just aren't the same as a good AO or CO story! I know you all can write, so please, please try to do so! I need to read more! Thanks!
