AN: Sorry it took me a while to update. As of right now, I have the next chapter of this written, but I'm not sure if I like it enough to post it. So, suggestions are welcome!

As always read and review! Enjoy!


"What are we going to get?"

"I don't know, lets see what they have when we get there." Nick said.

"No, I mean, are we renting something funny, romantic, or something scary?"

"Whatever you want."

"Aww, how sweet." Sara smiled at Nick.

They arrived at the video store and started in the Comedy section. They didn't see anything they liked, and the next aisle was horror.

"Shawn of the Dead." Nick picked up the movie and handed it to Sara. "It's a pretty good movie."

"Sure, why not." She looked at the movies around her, monster faces and zombies seemed to be staring at her, watching her every move "You know, I've never seen Halloween."

"You haven't?" He asked. "It's a good one, do you want to get it?"

"If you want to."

"Okay." Nick looked at the Halloween movies, and saw that they only had the fourth one. "They only have Halloween 4, is that okay?"

"Sure." Sara had picked up another movie, which she handed to Nick. "I've never seen The Ring Two. Guess I need to get out more." She laughed.

They ended up getting Shawn of the Dead, Halloween 4, and The Ring 2. Nick had seen The Ring, but not The Ring 2.

"What do you want to watch first?" Nick asked when they got into the car.

"It doesn't matter to me."

"Me either."

"Do you have a quarter?"

"What?" He asked confused by the randomness of the question.

"You know, a quarter, 25 cents? Four of them make a dollar." She explain the concept of a quarter to Nick.

"I know what a quarter is, smart-ass." He joked. "Why do you want one?"

"So I can flip it to see which movie were going to watch first." She held out her hand for the quarter. "Heads will be Shawn of the Dead, and tails will be Halloween."

Nick skillfully dug through his pockets while still managing to keep the car on his side of the double yellow line. Pulling out a quarter, he handed it to Sara. "What about the Ring 2?" He asked.

"Save that for last." Sara flipped the coin and it fell onto the floor, despite her attempt to catch it. "It's…heads."

"Shawn of the Dead it is."

When they got to Sara's apartment, Nick got the bags of ice cream and toppings and Sara got the movies. They made their ice cream sundaes and sat down to watch the movies.

"What didn't you put on your ice cream?" Sara asked Nick when she saw his bowl. Sprinkles, nuts and whipped cream was almost falling out of the bowl, and Sara was sure that if he put one more sprinkle on the mound, the bottom of the bowl would fall out.

"I told you I go nuts."

"No kidding."

They settled on the couch, Nick balancing his ice cream in his lap as he reached for the remote to start the movie.

"You get one drop of stuff on my couch…" Sara warned in a playful voice

"I've done this before, and the bowl was much, much bigger." He smiled and pressed the play button on the remote.

"No comment." Sara smiled.

Shawn of the Dead turned out to be a pretty good movie, and halfway through, after their ice cream was finished, Sara found herself curled up next to Nick.

"Next!" Sara said as Nick stood up to switch DVDs. Sara got up and put the ice cream bowls into the sink and then sat back down next to Nick, cuddling up to him as she did before. Nick put his arm around Sara and started the movie.

By the time the movie got to the scene where Mike Myers is in the little girl's room, Sara had pulled her knees up to her chest and was clutching a pillow for dear life. When Mike Myers sat up from the other side of the girl's bed, Sara couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop! I can't watch this!" Sara yelled and covered her face with the pillow. 'Way to be childish Sidle!' she thought to herself.

Her outburst had made Nick jump, but he stopped the movie and took the pillow off Sara's face.

"You're going to laugh now aren't you?" She asked.

"No Sara, I wouldn't do that." He pulled her into a hug.

"Scary movies aren't really my thing."

He looked at her "So then why did you say it was okay when we got them?"

She shrugged "You wanted to get them, and I didn't think it would be a problem. I haven't seen a horror movie in years."

"I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Sara kissed him. "What other movie did we get?"

"The Ring 2."

"Oh yeah." She got up and took the Halloween movie out, put it back in the case, and put The Ring 2 into the DVD player.

"Wait, what happened to 'horror movies aren't my thing'?" Nick asked

"It's The Ring 2. It cant be that bad."

Nick just looked at her.

"What? I'm the kind of girl who gets back on a horse after it knocks me off." She sat back down on the couch and pressed the Play button. "Just not the same one." She smiled.

Not long after the movie started Sara fell asleep with her head in Nicks lap. After stroking her hair for half the movie, Nick was asleep too.

The telephone woke them both up.

Sara let out a sigh when she had to get up off the couch.

She walked over to the counter where her cell phone sat next to a container of melted Vanilla ice cream. "Crap." She picked up the carton of ice cream, opened the freezer, and answered her phone all in one motion. "Hello?" She said after the fourth ring as she put the ice cream in the freezer.

"Sara, its Grissom." He said over the phone "I know it's your night off, but could you possibly come into work tonight? Catherine called and said that something came up with Lindsey."

She closed her eyes. "Yeah sure, I'll be in."

"Thank you."

"No problem, bye." Sara hung up.

"What was that about?" Nick asked from his place on the couch.

"Grissom wants me to come into work tonight."

"Oh." He got up off the couch and walked over to help her put the ice cream toppings away.

"Yeah, he told me that Catherine had called and said that something came up with Lindsey."

"Movie marathon?"

"That's what I'm thinking. I'll go in, let her have her time with her daughter."

It didn't bother Sara too much that she had to go into work, since Nick was scheduled to work tonight too.

"Shift starts in about two hours." Sara said looking at her watch "Do you want to get something to eat?"

"Sure, can we go by my place so I can get some new clothes on?"

"I told you that I could have washed the pile you had here. But no... you had to take them home." She walked down the hall to her room to change and left the door open so they could still hear each other.

"Yeah, yeah, I was wrong." He said "Tell you what, just to make you happy, I'll bring some dirty clothes with me and you can wash them."

"Nope, it was a one time thing. You missed your chance." She called from her room.

He could tell by her voice that she was smiling "What if the only clothes I have are dirty ones?"

"This is just a poor attempt to get me to wash your clothes isn't it?" She walked out of her room, and met Nick by the door.

"Is it working?" He asked as he helped her put on her coat.

"Not at all." She fished the keys out of her pocket. "Lets go."
