"I trust I'm leaving my Lab in capable hands?" Horatio Caine said with a smile as he fiddled with his sunglasses.

Emily, Ryan, and Eric, or as they were now known around the Lab- The Three Musketeers, smiled innocently at him.

"Sure boss." Said Eric.

"We'll take care of everything." Ryan chimed in.

Emily winked. "You just go and have fun with Mrs. Calleigh Caine."

Horatio's smile widened. "I'm sure I will." He looked up and nodded to his Team.

He turned to walk in the gate at the airport, taking his wife's arm. Calleigh waved and smiled. They were soon gone, on their way to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

Emily giggled. "I knew it would work. I knew it."

The wedding yesterday had been beautiful, on a beach in full Miami sunshine. Horatio and Calleigh had both looked truly happy as they took their vows. Emily couldn't be happier for them.

Eric and Ryan smiled at their little friend.

"Let's get back to the lab." Said Ryan.

They arrived at the lab about an hour later, due to morning traffic.

"It's all ours boys. For a whole week." Emily said, clapping her hands and rubbing them together.

"I really don't like that look on your face." Said Ryan, although he was smiling too.

"What are you up to?" Asked Eric.

"Oh, a few things." Said Emily vaguely as she walked off to her locker.

Later that day, Eric was working in the Trace Lab when he saw a sheet of paper on the table. He pulled it towards him. It was a perfectly done caricature of Rick Stetler, face contorted into his famous scowl. A speech bubble by his head said: 'I am a stuffed, bloated, self-centered know it all.'

Eric laughed and walked out in the hall to find Ryan. What he saw shocked him. The lab was covered in these fliers. They were taped to the walls and were on most of the desks. He looked around the lab and saw people reading the fliers by their desks, laughing at the fliers on the walls and at the end of the hall was one very angry looking Stetler.

Eric ducked back into the Lab, nearly doubled over with laughter as Stetler stormed the halls, pulling down fliers and yelling at passing lab techs.

Ryan ducked into the Trace Lab just after Stetler passed on his rampage. He chuckled.

"Look's like Emily's hard at work already." Said Eric with a grin.

"I got a note from her." Ryan said holding up a small slip of paper.

Eric took a look at the note.

Beat that, Wolfe.

"Look's like you've been called out," said Eric handing back the note. "What are you going to do?"

"Think of something good," said Ryan with a smile. "I don't know how I'm going to have time though. I have date tonight."

"Who with?" Eric asked looking up from his work.

"A lab tech. Her name is Genevieve, she's nice and she's really hot." Wolfe said with a grin.

Eric shook his head. "I wish you luck, man."

"Hey, aren't you and Valera going out?"

"Yeah."

Eric smiled. He had started dating Valera about a month ago, and he really liked her. She was fun, sweet and spunky and she could make him laugh.

"Good for you," Ryan said with a smile. "Hey, I have to go home and plan my prank before my date. See you tomorrow."

"I'm expecting something really good," Eric called as Ryan left the lab. "She's gonna be tough to beat."

Ryan grinned. He knew exactly what he was going to do.

There's the first chapter. I just had to put something about Emily ragging on Stetler in there somewhere. Haha
