Olivia was just finished getting ready for Warner's dinner in a black layered skirt with a black long sleeved off the shoulder top, and a pair of silver strappy sandals. Her hair was straightened, and fell lightly to her shoulders. Her brown eyes shone brightly, as she looked in the mirror one more time. She started putting on perfume when she heard a buzzing sound on her intercom. She walked over and pressed a button.

"Who is it?" She called.

"Elliot," The voice on the other end said. She turned around with her back on the door. 'Elliot' she whispered to herself as if her was her first date in High school. She finger combed her hair, and sprayed the last of her perfume, as she ran around her apartment, trying to find her purse.

"Olivia? Are you going to buzz me in?" Elliot called through the intercom. Olivia hit her head with her palm, and pressed the button again.

"Yeah, you can come on up," She said. She combed through her hair one last time, as she walked to the door, which somebody knocked on. She opened the door, to find Elliot in a Blue button up shirt, and Dress pants with his jaw dropped.

"You look amazing," he said calmly, and nervously, as if he were picking up his prom date. Olivia blushed lightly.

"Thanks," she said opening the door welcomingly. Elliot walked in and sat down on her couch. Olivia sat down next to him with her legs crossed.

"You want something to drink?" She asked. Elliot shook his head 'no'. Olivia stayed seated. A moment of silence passed until Elliot finally spoke.

"So umm.. What do you want to talk about? We have about an hour," He said. He already knew what Olivia was going to want to talk about; his partner. The one she had caught him kissing in the street. Olivia opened her mouth, waiting for the words to come out and clear, but it took her a while to process.

"Your partner," She said reading his mind, she sighed, as if she had just let out a secret. Elliot opened his mouth slightly.

"What do you want to know about her?" Elliot asked.

"Just stuff," Olivia said. Elliot opened his mouth and started.

"Her name is Dani Beck. She came a couple of days after you left. Her husband was killed, and she visited his killer with me. She and Case hated each other, she was a bad-ass cop, always got in trouble, almost killed a suspect once," Elliot said.

"She sounds a lot like you," Olivia said with a laugh. Elliot laughed along with her. Suddenly, Olivia's smile faded, and Elliot looked at her carefully.

"What's wrong Liv?" he asked. Olivia shook her head.

"I don't know El," She answered. She turned her head slightly, to look into Elliot's deep sea blue eyes.

"You really loved her didn't you?" She asked, filling her eyes to the brim with tears. Elliot looked at her in shock. How long had she been gone again?

"I could never fall in love with someone I only knew for 7 weeks," Elliot said.

"Then why did you kiss her Elliot?" Olivia asked, the tears threatening to fall. Elliot closed his mouth, and looked at her.

"I just needed to think about something else for a change. Get away from everything in my mind," Elliot said.

"What WAS in your mind El?" Olivia asked with one tear falling. Elliot cupped her face and wiped it away.

"So much Liv. Like you could never imagine. Kathy wanted me to sign, me and Kathleen got into a huge fight, Dani was being a bitch.. Again. And you were gone," Elliot said, holding her close.

"You possibly not coming back, and me being stuck listening to Munch's conspiriacies all by myself when Dani leaves," Elliot said.

"I seriously did miss you Liv," he said. "So did I El," she said.

Olivia smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist. She closed her eyes, and said his name.

"Elliot.. Elliot," She said. He looked down at her worryingly. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing. My hospital Prison ward partner said I was calling out your name all night long when I was unconscious," Olivia said with a laugh.

"Why?" Elliot asked.

"Because I was dreaming," Olivia said in a 'duuuhhh' tone.

Elliot looked down at her, "No I mean Why were you in a Hospital Prison Ward?"

"You don't want to know," Olivia said. Elliot opened his mouth to speak, but Olivia pressed her finger to his lips to shush him.

"No I'm serious El, you do not want to know," She said. Elliot closed his mouth and swallowed hardly.

"So you were dreaming about what exactly?" Elliot asked with a dreamy look on his face. Olivia looked up at him in shock.

"Like I'm telling."

The Warner Household

Chanaugh Plaza

floor 8 room 8-J

"Hey Liv, El," Warner said opening the door to her apartment. "Hey Yourself," Olivia answered back.

"Wazzup?!" Fin called from Melinda's couch in the living room, he and munch watching the Knicks game. "Hey!" John called. "Hows it going tonight?" he asked. Elliot nodded.

"Good."

Olivia looked around. "Where's Casey, Don and Huang?" she asked. Warner looked up at her, "Casey's coming in 5 minutes, Don went to pick up some soda, and Huang's using the restroom," she said, gesturing to a room down the main hallway. Olivia mouthed 'oh'. She strolled over to the couch, and sat down with the rest of the guys.

"Dinner's going to come in a while. Chinese sound good?" Warner asked. Everyone nodded. "Fine with me," Fin announced. Warner nodded to herself as if checking something off an imaginary list in her brain. "I'll keep that in mind," She said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elliot slurped down on his Vegetable Chow Mein and General Taio's Chicken, listening to the current conversation.

"So I was just saying to myself 'When is this station going to open a Donut Stand?' WE COULD BE HUGE!! I mean, think about it; what do police love? DONUTS! Do you know how much people would pay for good donuts around here?" John declared.

"Surprise me," Casey said.

"Dude, nobody ain't gonna give a shit toward a donut stand. We'll still be the same SVU," Fin said.

"Au Contrare my friend. We will be the SVU W.A.D.S.," John argued. Fin looked at him questioningly.

"The Special Victims Unit wads?" Fin asked in a 'what the hell' tone.

"No, I'm guessing the Special Victims Unit With A Donut Stand," Olivia said. John nodded. "You see how easily she picks up on this?" Elliot rolled his eyes.

"Hey, I'm all for it, as long as they sell white chocolate with chocolate sprinkles," Elliot said. Everybody laughed quietly.

"So, how's Amber doing?" Elliot asked.

"Great. She's starting bible study classes with Father Nicholas," Melinda said. Elliot smiled. "She's got a great life ahead of her."

"I just hope that she goes to college, get's a job, and marries a good christian man," Melinda said.

"Whoa... Back up. You're only allowing her to marry a christian?" John asked. Melinda nodded.

"Actually, her father is very strict on that. He won't accept anybody who isn't a believer. No Muslim, Hindus, Buddhists," Meinda stated.

"Isn't that a little harsh on her? Kids should have the ability to choose who they want to marry," Huang asked.

"If it was my decision, I would totally go for it, but I can't. Jim said no," Melinda admitted.

"Screw what your husband says, I say let the girl fall in love with freedom," Fin said.

"That's what I keep telling him. Nobody in the Warner Family blood, dating back for centuries, wasn't a christian," Warner said. "I hate it also, but what's done is done. According to him, 'if she doesn't get married in a catholic church, she doesn't get married'," she said. Everybody got quiet.

"Hey, where's that daughter of yours anyway?" John asked. "In her room," Melinda said. "She hasn't come out all afternoon, and I don't know what's bothering her." Olivia snapped up. "I can talk to her if you want," She offered. Melinda nodded. "Go Ahead. Second door on your right."

Olivia stood up, heading down the long, narrow hallway. 2nd door to your right, Olivia told herself reaching the door. She knocked.

"Who is it?" Amber asked in a quiet voice.

"It's Olivia," she answered. Amber knew who Olivia was after all the times she had visited Warner's house. She hesitantly opened the white door.

"Your mom says you've been depressed. Can I come in?" Amber nodded, not wanting to be rude.

"So, what's up?" Olivia asked sitting at the foot of her bed. Amber took a deep breath.

"The worst thing happened today." She said. Olivia looked at her challengingly.

"How So?" She asked.

"The guy I like asked me to the school dance," the young teen answered. Olivia looked around.

"Well, honey, I don't see why that's a bad thing." Amber laughed.

"No, it's just.. Well.. his name is Kartik. He's super sweet, and really cute, and really funny, and incredibly popular, and really easy to talk to. And he's such a gentleman, he's in all honors classes, and he wants to be a doctor, just like me. He's perfect, and I'm friends with all of his friends, and he's pretty nice to me, and a bunch of people think that he likes me back," she smiled, looking into space. Olivia opened her mouth to talk.

"Okay.. I still don't see your problem?" Olivia asked.

Amber finally took a deep breath, and looked around. She twirled her cross necklace, which she always did when she was nervous. She opened her mouth.

"Kartik... He's a Hindu."

A/N Okay, so My Parents aren't as strict as Warner and Her Husband about Marriage, but it's still a big problem. Kartik is a huge crush of mine, and I realy like him, but I really AM a catholic, and he really IS a hindu.. Please at least PRETEND to feel sorry for me So yeah. If you think Amber should screw what her dad says and meet him at a park or something to talk about.. stuff, tell me in a Review. I WANT AT LEAST 11 REVIEWS FOR ME TO UPDATE! I promise I won't take that long to Update anymore. And don't worry, Elliot and Liv's feelings are going to be discovered very soon. And also, I'm probably gonna discontinue a story or two.. My ideas just aren't flowing anymore. But need no fear, I still have so much to do with this story.

Peace, Love and All of the Above,

Amber
