AN: More silly and insane fluff! Yeah the story's unplausible (is that a word?) but oh well! It's just for a bit of fun, and yes…pretend Jasper, AB Canada is relatively close to Nevada! Thanks to all of you who reviewed! You're all too kind!

Enjoy!

Keywords: fluff + a bit of romance + a camping trip = much hilarity ensuing! (Hopefully).

Summary: Our favourite CSI team, decide to go camping in the great Canadian outdoors!

Sara pulled on her windbreaker; she tugged the hood up over her head. "I'm ready," she declared setting her jaw.

"Here," Catherine gave her the flashlight, "you sure you don't want me to come with you?"

"I'll be all right," Sara replied, she unzipped the tent and slipped out, making a mad dash across the campground. The light from the flashlight bounced around half-hazardly, glinting off Nick's face that was sticking out of the tent. Sara was too intent on making it to her destination to notice.

Sara sprinted down the road, her running shoes slapping against the wet, muddy asphalt.

Nick ran after her, careful to keep enough distance between them. He crouched behind a tree and watched as Sara disappeared into the washroom.

He ran around to the side of the rectangular building, waiting for her to come out…

Catherine shivered and zipped up her fleece hoodie, trying to remember why she had ever let Grissom talk her into this ridiculous camping trip in the first place.

"It will give a chance to bond," he had said, "besides—"

Yeah, yeah the Great Canadian Bugs, Catherine snorted. She didn't understand why he couldn't just get a reference book from the library!

She heard a rustle and something brushed against the tent, Catherine dismissed it as a tree branch until she heard the low groan.

She felt a sharp pain in her hand and looked down, she was clutching her pillow tightly.

"Get a grip Cath," she muttered just as there was another noise, this time a growl. She heard something scrape against the tent. She heard another low growl and more scratching.

Catherine fumbled for something solid and came up with a hiking boot. She reached for the zipper right when all hell broke loose.

Her shrill scream rang out across the campground.

Sara brushed her hair back from her face, some how she didn't really think the rain-plastered look suited her. She ripped off a paper towel and dabbed at her face before grabbing the flashlight.

She pulled open the door and was about to step out when something large, wet and male jumped in front of her.

"Aaah!" Nick yelled.

"Aaah!" Sara screamed, lashing out with the flashlight, catching him in the shoulder.

"Ouch," Nick grunted.

"Nick!" Sara yelled, whacking him with the flashlight again.

"Ouch!" Nick cried, "what was that for!?"

"For scaring the shit out of me!" Sara hit him again for good measure.

"Stop!" Nick held up his hands, "I'm sorry it was just a joke."

Sara glared at Nick for a few moments and opened her mouth to say something just as she heard an ear-splitting scream.

"Was the hell was that?" Sara demanded.

Nick had a pretty good idea, if the plan was going according to…well…plan.

Grissom was having a really hard time trying not to laugh. They attacked the tents with their fists and Catherine screamed, then she cursed, unzipping the tent door. She swung the hiking boot and thwacked Warrick right in the.

"Ohh," Warrick slumped over, clutching his wounded leg. Catherine stared out of the tent baffled.

"What going on?" Sara asked, running into the campsite, Nick on her heels.

Grissom tried on an innocent look and Greg scratched his head. Warrick was still on the ground and Nick was rubbing his shoulder.

Catherine crawled out of her tent, "I have an idea of what's going on."

"Why are you holding my boot?"

"Because," Catherine sent a withering glare in Grissom, Greg and Warrick's direction, "they decided it would be amusing to make noises and whack my tent. I had to defend myself."

"I'd say you did a good job," Grissom replied, referring to Warrick.

TBC of course!
