A/N: Ahhh…please don't hurt me… I'm taking a break from Like Cinderella because I'm just not happy with how it's going right now and I'm such a temperamental little writer. So…I've decided to try this out. I hope you guys like it! As per usual, CSI ain't mine. Also, I fail to own Surround Sound (which I believe is owned by Dolby Digital) or Technicolor (I have no idea who owns that.)

Prologue

Sara Sidle could remember the day she met Gil Grissom perfectly. It was etched into her brain in Technicolor with Surround Sound.

She'd been only twenty, a fresh transfer from Harvard to Berkeley. Sara had bloomed in college, becoming more popular than she'd ever been. Sara Sidle the party girl didn't notice men like Gil Grissom. Sara Sidle the student noticed him, though. She noticed his brain first as he lectured about insect timelines and forensics. Then she noticed his looks.

All the boys she met at Berkeley were just that. Boys. Sure, a few of them were good looking. Jack Tanner, an ex-boyfriend of Sara's, who turned out to be gay, had thick, fluffy chestnut colored hair, friendly hazel eyes, a handsomely chiseled face, and a good body. But even Jack hadn't exuded the sheer charm and charisma that had poured out of Gil Grissom.

The second time Sara met Gil Grissom, she was on her way to get some coffee.

"Oof." Sara stumbled backwards as she collided with a very muscular chest. "I'm so sor…" The words died on her lips as she realized she was looking up into the eyes of Gil Grissom.

Now, not only did he exude charm, but he was adorable as well. Gone were the thick, Coke-bottle glasses with the oversized frames. He'd shaven his stubble, so now his face was smooth. And he'd taken off his windbreaker, revealing the nicest set of forearms Sara had ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on.

So, at that moment when she collided with him and gazed up into the most intense, warmest baby blues imaginable, she'd fallen directly in love with the handsome professor teaching Forensics 101.

She'd fallen in love with him. And she'd kissed him.

Fifteen years later.

A/N: I know it's really short, but it's just the prologue! The basic outline of the story as I'm seeing it is kind of a casefile/romance thing. Grissom and Sara are working on a case that forces them to go back to Berkeley and relive when they were there and they end up kissing, Grissom wigs out…blah blah blah. Review with thoughts!
