A/N-Another burst of fic from me today, have the house to myself, going to be finishing up this today, writing another, and working on summer reading while I'm at it...

Renee gave her a knowing smirk as she walked in. "Someone was having fun last night." She glared at her longtime friend.

"Prove it." The DA laughed.

"Hmm, let's see. You're five minutes late, you pulled in from the opposite direction of your house, but not the opposite direction of Garret's house, you're wearing the clothes you wore yesterday and you're not making me gag with that moisturizer you use that I'm deathly allergic to." She grinned sheepishly. "I'm going to assume you were doing something last night.

"More like someone, but close enough." She laughed as her friend allowed a shocked look to cross her face for a second.

"The two of you really hit it off." She shrugged.

"Compared to some of the other crap I've dated? Garret's not bad at all." She grinned, hoping to drag this topic out for as long as possible. She didn't particularly like to talk about her boyfriends, or her ex boyfriends, but when she had the option of them or her still barely started testimony, she'd rather talk about her adventures in dating. She knew what she had to say on the stand, that was what was important, of course Renee would want to see what she would say, but she was good at stringing words together.

"You've had some pretty interesting crap. Didn't you date a mobster?" She laughed.

"Guy? Yeah, I did. He was the one that kept trying to get me to work for Gambeski, Lanzoni and Collins." She laughed. "What's the point in dating a guy if he's not interesting?"

"You'd date a werewolf, completely unafraid of being seriously injured simply because he would be interesting." She laughed.

"Well, you can't say someone who cuts up dead bodies for a living isn't interesting. And he's got a wannabe mysterious thing going on where he tries to be like Bogart. He tries to be a clock and dagger and it's really cute." Renee laughed at her characterization of Garret.

"Does he know you go around calling him cute, and cloak-and-dagger?" She laughed.

"I'm sure, like most men, he'd enjoy the cloak and dagger bit but he'd object to being in the same class as teddy bears and puppies. But I'm pretty sure he'll endure it as well."

"Right, well, about your testimony-"

"Segways 101 was another class you failed." She grinned.

"Yeah, well, this is important, I don't give a shit about a good segway." She laughed.

"And it's all up here." She tapped her temple, and the DA rolled her eyes.

"You haven't even looked over the probable questions, have you?" She grinned.

"I plead the fifth."

"Vicky, the trial's three weeks away."

"I know, and I'll be ready to testify, don't worry. You're looking at the queen of working under pressure." Renee laughed.

"Right,you're the one that started your term paper at five am for a class that was a ten, and still got an A on it." She grinned.

"If I had started it a month before I would have failed it."

"The day you do something ahead of when it's due is the day I'll be throwing snowballs in hell, cause I would've died from the sheer shock of it." She laughed, her friend's dry sense of humor never failed to bring a smile to her face even when most really didn't care for the DA in question.

"I do plan ahead. Just not a lot. Like I plan to go somewhere, and I go. And I know what I'm going to do tonight when I get home." Renee gave her an interesting look that just begged her to tell. "Go home, pour a nice glass of bourbon, and tell Aaron to leave, or else. He's going to kill me when I get home."

"That bad?" She nodded.

"I don't care if I have to drive him to the city myself."

"You are going to work on your testimony as well, right?" She grinned.

"Yes boss. He's going to get convicted, he stabbed my brother in broad daylight, it's an easy open and closed case. I'm honestly surprised he didn't plea out." The DA shrugged.

"Didn't have you pressuring him."

"Quite fond of my job now if that's a thinly veiled offer." Renee grinned.

"You mean you're quite fond of the people in that job. Mostly one person." She grinned as well.

"Well, that's always a plus." They headed downstairs.

"I think you might want to go home and face your brother now before facing your coworkers. Especially if you're going to roll in this late with that whole "I got laid" grin on your face when I'm absolutely positive Garret's got the same one and you're wearing what you're wearing yesterday, at least a change of clothes allows you to downplay it a little bit." She whacked her friend on the arm.

"yeah, they do have their suspicions about us." Renee laughed.

"Suspicions? You hang all over him and grin whenever he's in the room. You're head over heels for him." She grinned.

"I'll see you." She said walking out.

"Bye." Renee called after her. "Work on that damn testimony, at least read over what you're going to get asked!" She laughed, nodding, knowing it would never get done.
