Chapter TwoI'd Do Anything

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting

And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again

I close my eyes, and all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Na-na-na...
And I'd do anything for you
Na-na-na...

Na-na-na-na...

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz I know I won't forget you

-I'd Do Anything

Simple Plan

"Okay, well, get some rest, okay Casey? Alright. Bye," Cragen looked at everyone, "Casey's got a really high fever. She won't be in for a while. We're gonna need a new ADA."

Munch scowled, "Why do we have to keep changing ADAs, dammit?" Olivia nodded, "It does get kind of annoying..." "I have an idea. Let's call Alex, and ask her to come back," Munch said jokingly. Everyone gave her a look, except for Cragen, who said, "Well... Everyone after her has been put behind bars. Why don't you write her a letter and ask her to come back, John?"

"Say what?" Fin exclaimed, "Captain, Munch was only joking." Cragen shrugged, "It's a good idea. Write the letter." And with that, he retired to his office.

"... It's the heat wave," Elliot concluded. "Yeah, that's it..." Olivia agreed, "It's making him say weird things..." ((A/N: Philly had a heat wave last year, and we got out of school early, so that's where that came from.))

Regardless, Munch decided to write the letter. The truth was, ever since Alex left, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He couldn't figure out why...

He sat down at his desk, and started typing on his new laptop, "Dear Alex..." He trailed off, Oh, what now? Munch has been looking for a way to talk to her. He didn't know why, but he missed her smile so much... Even the way they used to argue sometimes...

He had thought of writing a letter millions of times, but now when he actually sat down, his mind blanked. He had no idea what to write.

Munch tried again.

Dear Alex... This is John Munch writing to you... Wait, no, too formal... Munch groaned. Four wives, and he still hadn't gotten the romantic part down.

Wait, romantic? Where did that come from? I'm writing a letter for her to come back... Not anything else... Munch was starting to scare himself.

Okay, John, concentrate, Munch instructed himself. Finally, he was able to write something semi-decent.

It was so hard not to say anything with too much feeling. Munch hadn't realized how much he'd thought about having Alex back until now. Sure, Casey was a good ADA and all, but... She just wasn't Alex.

Munch looked at a picture on his desk. It was one of the pictures Elliot had taken when Munch, Alex, Elliot, Olivia, and Fin had had a day off, and decided to walk around the park. Olivia and Elliot were laughing at something. Fin was kind of scowling (he claimed that picnics weren't his thing). Alex was grinning, and trying to get Munch to smile for the camera.

Munch smiled nostalgically, I wish she was back...

And suddenly, he felt surprised at his own feelings.

Then, Olivia tapped him, "John? We're going to go grab lunch, wanna come?" "Uh, yeah, sure..." Munch said, printing out the letter, "We need to stop by the post office, though." He took one last look at his computer screen.

It read:

Dear Alex,

Hey, it's Munchkin! See, I miss you so much that I wrote the old nickname you had for me. God, that thing annoyed me, but that's why you used it, isn't it?

Casey's gonna be out for a few weeks and we were all wondering if you wanted to be an ADA again... temporarily, anyway. Well, anyway, call me with your answer, okay?

We all miss you, and we want you back. Seriously. It isn't the same without you.

-Your friend,

John Munch

Munch rolled his eyes, It's so short... And it reminds me of one of those corny movies my second wife used to watch. Oh, well...

"Hey, old man! Hurry it up!" Fin yelled from the doorway. Munch ran over, growling, "Don't call me that!" "What, does that bother you, old man?" "Shut up, Odafin!" "Hey--!"

A/N: End of chappie 2! I'm gonna try and update this at least once a night. Review, please!
