A/N: I hope you like the story so far. I have had the story completed for awhile, so I'll update every couple of days. I already had some ideas for a sequel, if anybody really liked this one. If anybody has any good ideas maybe to add to the end of this story or for a sequel, put it in a review, I would love to hear and maybe put it in the story.

" So, Sara, what is your big problem?" Catherine said as she drank her coffee

"There is this CSI banquet that Grissom and Nick are going to"

"Yeah" Catherine said wanting Sara to continue the story.

"They said you could bring a date"

"Did one of them ask you to go with them?" Catherine said trying to get more information

"Not just one" Sara replied

"Both of them asked you to go" Catherine said in shock

"Yeah" Sara said sadly

"Did you say yes to anyone" Catherine said in question, she was surprised actually that Grissom had asked her. She had known for Grissom for a long time and had seen the tension between him and Sara, but she thought that whole thing was over. She wasn't blind. She had noticed how Grissom had been avoiding Sara, and placing her on more cases with Nick and Warrick. Personally, she didn't mind working with Grissom. Grissom was one her greatest and closest friends. At one point she actually thought she maybe was in love with him. She was just surprised that Grissom did this, for him being a workaholic and everything.

"No, I didn't know who to say yes to." Sara said sheepishly

"Wow girl, no wonder you asked me to come here with you." "Who do you want to go with?"

"That is the problem" Sara replied

"Haven't you like Grissom for a while" Catherine said confirming what she knew

"Yeah I did, but I want to move on, I can't wait forever for him."

"Then go out with Nick" Catherine said trying to help out Sara

"The thing is I never really thought of me and Nick as more than friends"

"I say go with Nick. Make Grissom see what he could of have. And besides I know Nick likes you and I know that you will have fun" " You never thought of Nick as more than a friend?" Catherine said surprised

"Catherine you are right." "I have thought of Nick as more than a friend" "I am going to go with Nick" Sara said happy that she figured out what she was going to do. "How do I break the news to Grissom?"

"I say just tell him" Catherine said after taking a sip of her coffee

"I think that… that is my only choice" Sara said

"Yeah, it is"

"This is going to be interesting. I am going with Nick to a banquet, where Grissom is going to be"

"Yup, but you won't be at work." "You are going to be in Los Angeles while I am at work with Warrick and Greg" Catherine stated

"I'll call Grissom later" " But right now I am going to call Nick, he has waited all night for my answer, this has probably been torture." Sara said feeling sympathy for Nick

"I have to go and get some sleep and check on Lindsey" "Good Luck" Catherine said as she got up

"Thank you so much for coming" Sara said giving Catherine a hug

Sara got into her car. She was just relieved that she figured it out. But the thing is if she had thought with her heart instead of her head this whole thing would have been easier. The first thing she had to do was call Nick. She took her cell phone and dialed his number.

"Stokes"

"Hi Nick"

"Hi Sara" Nick said glad that she called

"Nick, I would love to go with you to Los Angeles" Sara said in one breath

"That's great" Nick replied knowing that this trip would be fun

"Nick" Sara said sounding serious

"Yeah Sara?" Nick said wondering what was on her mind

"I want to tell you something in case Grissom acts strange around you soon."

"When is Grissom not strange around me?" Nick said with a laugh. He could tell Sara was laughing on the other end.

"Yeah you're right, but I want to tell you this so you know"

"Okay, what is it?" Nick said wondering what Sara had on her mind

"Grissom asked me to be his date at the banquet too." Sara said wondering what Nick's reaction would be.

Nick was speechless; he didn't know what to say. Grissom showed no emotion to her for months and now he wants to take her to Los Angeles with him. The thing that really bothered him was that Sara had liked Grissom for the longest time. Why does she want to go with me instead of him? Did she give up her feelings for Grissom? Does she have the same feelings for me as I do her?

"Nick?" "Are you there" Sara said wondering if Nick was still on the line because he didn't say anything

"Yeah I'm here, Sorry about that. I was thinking." Nick said still wondering how this trip would end up.

"Oh, okay" "Nick I'll talk to you later" "I have to call Grissom and tell him that I am not going to go with him" Sara said not liking what her last sentence was

"Okay" "Good Luck"

" We can talk tonight about everything" " Bye"

"Bye Sara" Nick hung up the phone wondering what was going on. Nick sat on his couch and thought about everything that Sara just told him. He was surprised that Sara decided to go with him.

Let me see if I have this straight. I asked Sara to go to the banquet with me she said yes. Grissom asked Sara to go to the banquet with him she said no. The same Grissom who was like by Sara for the longest time, who Sara always tried to impress, who might have even liked Sara at some point. This is just great; I stole the boss' girl. Did Sara move on and doesn't like Grissom anymore? That is what probably happened I bet. Grissom has been ignoring her for a while so I bet she is fed up with him.

While Nick was contemplating everything, Sara was dreading the phone call she had to make.
