A/N: Thanks for all the reviews I got. Here's the next chapter.

Chapter Four: The Invitation

"Hey did you guys get yours?" Catherine asked, walking into the break room. All the guys looked up at her.

"Huh?" they asked in unison.

"Did you guys get the invitation to Sara's wedding?" Catherine said as if she were talking to a bunch of kindergarteners.

"I got mine." Warrick said.

"Me too." Grissom said.

"Me three." Greg called. Everyone looked at Nick.

"I'm not going." He said, standing up.

"You are still her friend and you are going." Catherine exclaimed.

"Cath..." Grissom started.

"No Gil don't even try and stop me! Nicky just because you won't be the one waiting for Sara at the alter doesn't mean you sulk in her moment of happiness." She said.

"...erine." Grissom finished.

"Did she even send you one?" Greg asked.

"Yes but I'm not going!" Nick exclaimed.

"If she sent you one then that means she wants you there." Catherine said.

"No. No it doesn't. What it means is y'all are invited and Sara being the polite little thing had to mind her manners and invite us all!" Nick said.

"If he doesn't want to go then don't make the poor guy go." Grissom said.

"Thank you!" Nick exclaimed. "Look... I don't want to go. Can we leave it at that?"

Nick didn't wait for an answer, but left the room. He walked into the locker room and opened his locker, searching for something. He found it and opened up the envelope.

You are cordially invited to The wedding of

Sara Sidle

And James Bryant

On September 7, 2004

"I'm not going." Nick said aloud, not reading the invitation further. Something fell out of the envelope. Nick picked it up and began to read.

Nick,

I know the last time we saw each other was a bad time. Every time I leave something bad happens and we don't get a proper good-bye. I know you most likely won't come but I really want you there on my wedding day. I'm really happy now and I want all of you, Grissom, Catherine, Warrick, Greg, Brass, and you, to be there and be happy for me. Please think about it Nicky.

Sara

Nick sighed and threw the note in the garbage on his way out of the locker room. He wouldn't go. He couldn't. No one in this whole world would make him go.

"Catherine!" Nick moaned.

"Oh stop. Here!" Catherine exclaimed, handing him a plane ticket. "Besides you have to go. I already sent in the RSVP for you."

"Well then I'll call and tell Grissom wouldn't let me get time off." Nick snapped.

"That'd look really funny with all of us being there, including Grissom!" Catherine glared. "Nicky why can't you be happy for her?"

"I am. I just don't want to watch it. Take tons of pictures Cath and I'll piece it together one at a time from all the pretty pictures. I'm not going!" he replied.

"I will drag you into that airport, onto that plane, into that church, and tie you to the pew all by myself! Nick you don't have a choice! One way or another I will get you to go to that wedding. Most likely by forceful ways!" Catherine yelled and walked out of the locker room. Nick sighed and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was August 17. He had twenty-one days to change Catherine's mind.

A/N: Yes I know very short. But next chapter it will be very good!
