All was happiness and harmony in the crime lab. Not completely literally because since Lindsay's such an annoying brat she kept on breaking down at any crime. Seriously, this guy robbed this other guy because he needed some money, and Lindsay was in tears over the case. But anyway, Mac and Stella were happy at least. They didn't shout out the fact that they were now a couple, because inter-office love is allowed, but frowned upon, in case the couple in love have an argument, break up and jeopardise the case. So it was kept quiet, and they were a very cute adorable couple. They kissed when they saw each other in the morning and at the end of work but apart from that, you would never have guessed that they were a couple. All though lots of people in the crime lab did. Mac and Stella had small arguments, which were always about work, and they always made up afterwards, but one day periods and a rape case were getting the better of Stella and she started yelling madly at people. First Mac heard of it was when Danny walked into the evidence layout room with a big plaster on his forehead.

"Danny, you ok?" asked Sheldon.

"Yeah…" Danny sounded a bit dazed. "Hey Mac, where are you?" Mac waved his hand.

"Standing right in front of you Danny." Danny looked around a bit more than finally saw Mac.

"Oh yeah." He said. Sheldon and Mac exchanged looks.

"Danny," Sheldon put on his even-though-your-best-friend/girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband/whatever-this-dead-person-was-to-you-is-dead-that-doesn't-mean-you-can-mope-around-in-my-way-of-solving-this-crime voice. "Have you been drinking the stuff out of the coffee machine again?" Danny shook his head and wished he hadn't.

"Nah, Stella threw a microscope at me." Mac and Sheldon were alarmed.

"What about the microscope?" asked Sheldon.

"Yeah, those cost a lot." Mac agreed. Danny waved his arms in a very stoner like way.

"Don't worry about me or why Stella's throwing microscopes in the first place." Mac eyed him.

"You guys weren't re-enacting a marital crime of passion were you? You know those are dangerous with Stella." Sheldon nodded sagely. Danny waved his arms again. His clothes fell off. Aiden ran in and picked them up to make sure he didn't put them back on again. Danny chased after her. Mac and Sheldon waited patiently. There was a squeal, a thump, a grunt, followed by another squeal. Danny walked back in with his clothes on.

"She's got stuck on this rape case, we can't catch him, it's like DJ Pratt all over again..." Aiden poked her head around the corner and started swearing. Danny shooed her away. "and we were going back to the evidence, and she thought she had something, and I did too, only it turned out that we'd already looked at that piece of evidence and it didn't get us anywhere, so I told her that and she threw the microscope at me and told me to get out." Danny gave Mac a pleading look. "Calm her down? Please?" Mac was indignant.

"Why do I have to go and calm her down?"

"You're her boyfriend!"

"Yeah…so?" Sheldon and Danny both began shoving him out of the door. Mac protested valiantly but to no avail. "No, no! She'll bite my head off!"

"Better yours than mine." Replied Danny. They pushed and dragged him all the way down to where Stella had been, and pushed him in. Mac closed his eyes, waiting to feel the microscope bouncing off his skull…only it didn't. He opened one eye. She wasn't there. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go look for her!" Sheldon and Danny were being completely merciless. Mac squared his already square shoulders and walked off to find his manic girlfriend.

He discovered her in the Time-out Room, (where they rest and drink spiked coffee), drinking spiked coffee. He took the coffee out of her hand.

"What's the matter?" he asked. She pushed his hand away and reclaimed the coffee. She shook it at him, spilling it everywhere and yelled.

"Am I ok? Am I ok? I've got this guy who's like DJ Pratt, I can't pin him down to the rape, Danny was being irritatingly smug, I threw a microscope at him, don't think I won't do it to you! I've had my periods for 2 weeks now, 2 WEEKS! And everyone is tip-toeing around me like I'm a bomb ready to go off!" Mac didn't mention that the bomb had already gone off, because that would probably result in him having his head blown off by said bomb. Stella was gulping down coffee.

"Stella, I'm sorry you're…"Mac moved towards her but jumped back as Stella brandished the coffee at him, showering it all over the floor again. "You're mopping that up." He pointed at the floor. Stella nodded.

"Yeah all right afterwards I will I promise." Then she turned angry again. "Why should I? You should if you're the one who cares so much!"

"Stella will you just calm down!" Mac was getting angry now. Stella spat coffee all over the place.

"Calm down? Did you even listen to what I was saying? I'm having a hell of a time here and you don' even care!"

"I do care!"

"No you don't! You care more about work! If you do care about me then show it! Because god knows you don't at the moment! We barely ever go out on dates and you're so desperate to keep work and our relationship separate that it's our relationship that's suffering! You've got to decide between me and work! Which is more important, huh?" Mac was completely silent. He didn't really believe what Stella had just accused him of. Stella mistook his silence for preferring work.

"See?" she said quietly. She put her coffee down. "I guess that's us over then." She walked out. Mac closed his eyes, wishing he could have done something about this beforehand. He just wanted to wake up from it all.

But if he had done something it wouldn't make a good story! Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Betcha can't wait for the next chapter! Mwhahahahahahahahahahaha! I'm so cruel and evil! wow I'm really enjoying this!
