slaps herselfI forgot to thank Starr L for the beta reading. I don't
speak English as a first language so if it weren't for her you wouldn't be

Host: "And the answer to this question is the obvious one of course. The answer is C!! Although the arachnid hasn't been cooperating lately and Grissom has consulted a pet psychiatrist to work out the communication problem between them.
SilverEpiphany, the proud winner of this first quiz will take home either, a home video that illustrates pretty darn well ,(in a hushed voice) believe me I've seen it four times, what Catherine used to do when she was working at the French Palace or a key to Grissom's place. Please if you choose this last item, use the key when he's not in his apartment, he wouldn't handle a human visit very well or just as well as a fish would handle breathing.
Can thrower (standing up with a beer can in his hand): "SHOW THE TAPE, SHOW THE TAPE!!"
Host (diplomatic): "Sir, please sit down. That tape's only for the winner, it wouldn't be fair if---"
Guy in the audience: "TAPE, TAPE, TAPE!!"
Director: "There are other tapes, sir. They all can by purchased after the show's over."
Guy in the audience: "TAPE, TAPE, TAPE!!"
Host (narrowing his eyes and determined): "NO (a beer can collides with his forehead). It's empty you dope, it didn't hurt! (another can collides, this time, full) Ouch. Still the answer is no (looking at the camera) Am I bleeding?"
(the cameraman shakes the camera from side to side and the Host exhales, relieved)
Host: "Ok, everyone knows that working long hours without getting any sleep can be damaging to our health. Despite this fact, this bunch of Las Vegas CSI's pull double shifts as if they were on some kind forensic-viagra. Now you'll have a first look on what happens during those EXITING NIGHTS, how does the sharp minds of this scientists work in conjunction with each other. To witness that here's a tape of a case you don't know nothing about, this are the hard working CSI's at 4:00am."
(The host disappears and behind him a huge TV turns on with a not so exiting image)
[They're all in Grissom's office. Warrick's sleeping across Grissom's desk, using a bloody scarf classified as "EVIDENCE A" as a pillow. Sara is perched on a chair next to Grissom with her feet resting over Grissom's desk, you can see she's missing a shoe]
Host (whispering as if not to wake them up): "We are still trying to figure out why Sara's left shoe is stuck to the ceiling. Our theory: Grissom or some other member of the team was trying to recreate a bizarre crime scene or that it's 'Throw the left shoe of a woman named Sara to the ceiling' day."
[Grissom is cutely snoring over a stack of papers and holding a magnifying glass in his hand as if it were a teddy bear. Catherine's sitting on another chair and by the look on her face, she seems to have been making a point when she fell asleep. Nick lies sprawled on the floor with Grissom's tarantula on his forehead. He's surrounded by some of Lindsay's rubber balls and video titled "How to catch a killer in 10 easy steps using bathroom items"]
Host (whispering): "Ain't they cute? (clears his throat) In a strictly forensic–platonic sort of way of course."
[Sara tries to shift to a more neck friendly position and considering the fact that she's napping on a chair and not a king-size bed, she falls to the ground with a loud thud. Whatever was sticking her shoe to the ceiling stops doing it and the shoe falls on Warrick's head. She stands up in a second trying to pretend that nothing happened]
Warrick (mumbling): "I didn't do it!! The cat waxed himself grandma'!!"
Catherine (woken up by Warrick's scream and with a yellow "post-it" glued to her forehead): "…and that's why I think he's innocent."
Grissom (stroking his chin, as if pondering Cath's statement) : "Yeah, yeah, yeah (looks around like wondering: did we fall asleep? Did I fall asleep? Why is Warrick on my desk?) …yeah, you're right, the evidence backs it up and…"
(Everyone looks at Grissom waiting for him to finish his sentence. He yawns as he takes a peek at his watch, finally he speaks)
Grissom: "…Yeah, yeah that's a wrap for today...or yesterday or tomorrow...i don't know which day is this. Somebody call Brass, tell him we have the wrong guy."
Host: "And I bet you thought they never slept. Well there you have it they're humans too. But enough of this, we have a long show ahead of us. So, whoever wants to see what Sara does on one of her days-off raise your microscopes."
(cut to…)
[The mini camera starts by showing the floor of Sara's place which is dotted with white paper planes, forensics books and empty boxes of cereal. A small bunny chews a carrot and then hops its way out of the room (??). The camera zeroes in on some interesting photos: Little Sara opening a X- Mas present that looks like a chemistry set, she's seems ecstatic. Next picture: X-Mas tree ablaze, frantic parents with extinguishers, little Sara grinning.]
[The camera slowly makes a 90º turn to focus on Sara. She's sitting on a chair, with her feet on the table and she's behind the police scanner and a flower pot. Throwing paper planes to the air and watching them fly she seems like she's having a good time. Oh, and you can kinda guess that she's naked although the flower pot acts as a nudity shield]
[There's a stack of books on the table, between them there are some that are very familiar to all forensic scientist: "100 ways to use print powder in your kitchen", "Have fun with corpses(???)", "The super-cool world of fibers", "A dead body and me" and "Sherlock Holmes goes to Disneyland: Did Mickey strangled Minnie in a jealous rage?"]
Host: "And we leave Sara's place knowing a little bit more about that impulsive young brunette that can turn into a very cranky woman if she is deprived of well deserved day off. And on we go to the next quiz. Please read it carefully."
(Letters appear on the screen)
Which of this three statements is true:
1) Catherine and Grissom had a torrid love affair two years ago but they broke up because Gil found out that Catherine was just using him to give Eckile jealous. Ecklie later found out that he'd been used too because Catherine real interest had been Warrick all along.
2) Last month Sara and Nick were investigating a murder. After looking for evidence for two hours inside the house Nick discovered a gun in the backyard lawn, near a dog's house that seemed to be empty. Nick crept towards the gun and he managed to grab it before the huge brontosaur-like Pit bull had his hand for breakfast. When Sara heard the dog's barking she joined Nick at the backyard. While they were doing their "reenactment-of- how-might-the-gun-ended-up-there", the not-so-friendly-pooch managed to break free of the chain that restrained him. They were seen ten seconds later plunging into their SUV. The pooch was found later in his doghouse, chewing Nick's shoe and half of Sara's pants.
3)One night all the CSI's went to Brass's birthday party (including Grissom). They all got drunk (even Grissom). PS: By 3:00 am they were all in jail. Grissom was almost stabbed in the shoulder by his cellmate but Warrick managed to defend his mentor by strangling the offender with one of his socks. Rumors say that the scuffle started when Don Kowalski aka "Deadly-ballerina" expressed his desire to make Grissom his 'cupcake'.
Host: "Take your time, this things aren't always what they appear to be. Here's a good example…"
(You can only hear the voices, the screen is pitch black)
Warrick: "Oh, yeah you are a beauty! Oh, yeah! Gimme more of that!"
Catherine (after a bored sigh) : "Relax Brown, it not like you haven't seen one before."
Warrick: "These are the best footprints I've ever seen!"
Host: "See? Now we'll have to take a break and go to commercials but don't change the freaking channel or else a horrible curse will fall upon you: you will be turned into a one legged frog!! Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha (clears his throat) I'll be back to give the correct answer to the quiz and to show you how's a typical day in the lives of this people."

The "curse" part is real. You will be turned into crippled fogs…waves her hand nah, I was just bluffing to get more reviews.
