~ Mall ~
'So Sara, looking forward to the party?'
Both women, and Lindsey included, were now eating at the mall, taking a break from Catherine's well guessed prediction of her daughter's sudden needs for a new wardrobe. They settled in a cafe, none of them wanting the unhealthy burgers of a fast food restaurant, and wanting a simple coffee, or hot chocolate for Lindsey, and maybe a salad. It was quite a light lunch.
'Sure, haven't been to one for ages. And since it's just CSI, we'll know everyone there.'
'So, you're glad you're going with Nick?'
'Well I guess...'
'Come on, be straight.'
Catherin started using her CSI skills and leaned in, in attempt to catch the younger CSI off guard. Studying her facial expressions, Cathering could tell what Sara was thinking and when. A sort of gift to her.
'Sure, he's a nice guy Cath.'
'You're dodging...but I'll let you off. What are you gonna wear?'
'Cath, it's in three weeks! It's plenty of time!'
Catherine chose this moment to look at her daughter, who had caught Sara's last comment. Both mother and child caught eye contact, and with a roll of the eyes tutted at Sara's remark.
'Sara, clearly it has been a while since your last party...you weren't joking.'
'Okay, I just need a dress, and it'll be fine. Besides, there's this great shop near mine, and it always has all the dresses you need. I'll just get one from there. No biggie.'
'Okay...whatever...just...as long as you enjoy this day.'
Sara looked at Catherine, and immediately Catherine glanced at her food, suddenly finding the lettuce much much more interesting.
'Catherine Willows...what are you planning?'
'Nothing, just..just you and Nick keep prancing around each other, and you're just so flirtatious, it's painful for us to watch. Just cut to the chase and go out with him...please?'
This definately caught Sara by surprise. Clearly she wasn't paying an attention to Catherine's hints earlier while they had just started eating. Going to a party, in a dress, with Nick Stokes was a simple task. Something she never thought she'd to, but simple enough.
'Cath...I assure you, neither Nick nor I will think of each other as something more than a friend. Now can we please eat and go shopping? I've gotta make sure I've got all my christmas presents!'
~ Chunkie's Fast-Food Bar ~
'So Nicky, now that we know the girls are making an effort..are you?'
'Whatcha mean?'
'I mean, are you gonna go all out for Sara? With the whole...mistletoe and everything.'
'Well, I haven't thought yet, but maybe. How's it going with you and Cath?'
'It's going great...I've got her the nicest christmas present. It's a necklace she saw in Tiffany's the other week...you should have seen her face. She didn't say anything, but you know Cath. You can tell when she falls in love.'
'Yeah man, that's cool...I'm sure she'll love it.'
'Speaking of presents, what you got Sara?'
'Dunno yet...can't think of anything...I don't know what jewellery she likes....got any suggestions?'
'Hey, this is your gift for her...you choose.'
Leaving Nick in a wonder as to what to get Sara, Warrick ordered his food, and since Nick still seemed in a trance out of this world, he order Nick a vegetarian burger. For some reason, Nick had begun to eat less and less meat...maybe he'd beena around Sara too long.
Once the women finished shopping, Sara went home and wrapped her presents up, sticking them under her current 6ft christmas tree-an average size. She called Nick, making sure she was still going to go round and help with the Christmas decorations from the leftover lab box. Making sure the apartment was clean, he invited her around, making sure the invitation for dinner was there. She gladly took it, and after decorating Nick's flat apartment, they shared a vegetarian meal.
They both had learned lots of things while talking during dinner. Nick learned the reasons behind Sara's choice to be a vegetarian, and all about her being an only child, with the relationship with her mother and father. Sara had learnt all about Nick's family, and the way he grew up in Texas. She also noticed he was more lenient towards the topic of the her choice of behing vegetarian, something he didn't mind. In fact, it was rubbing off on him.
Probably about 10 minutes after digesting their food, Sara jumped up and headed straight for the box that lied next to his front door.
'Right Nicky...let's get this party started.'
~*~*~*~*~
Catherine had went home and dropped off her Christmas presents at home, before dropping Lindsey off to her friend's house. She had an early Christmas sleepover, since her friend was going on holiday in a couple of days. After taking her daughter to her friend's, Cathering drove all the way to Warrick's apartment, and after checking her make-up in the mirror, walked up and knocked on the door.
Warrick had opened it and was glad to see Catherine. They both discussed what they had done earlier in the day with Nick and Sara, and came to the conclusion they were in love...they just needed the right push. Watching a film, they prepared dinner and ate on the sofa, enjoying the silent company of each other. A rare thing, having the same night off.
~*~*~*~*~
Grissom, throughout the whole day had met with an old flame from university and had taken her out to a nice restaurant for dinner. After realising the chemistry was still alive, he gained enough courage to ask her to be his date to the CSI lab party in three weeks. She gladly accepted, and made sure she had all the details and that he would call her. Convincing her that he would definately call her, he gave her a lift home and with a peck on the cheek, drove off home. He couldn't wait for three weeks, and at the same time, the other four CSIs came to the same conclusion.
This Christmas was going to be a lot different to usual.
