Before I start I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed so far and everyone who keeps reading. It means a lot. Thanks!

It was hard for Alex to concentrate the rest of the day. She kept wondering what Olivia planning. She sat at her desk, tapping her pen and trying to write out her opening arguments, when there was a knock on the door.

"C'min," Alex called.

The door opened and a man was standing there holding a dozen white roses, "Are you Alexandra Cabot?"

"Yes," Alex answered.

He set the flowers on her desk and walked off.

Alex curiously picked up the card and read, Serena has your dress. Looking forward to tonight, All my love, Olivia.

Alex pressed the card to her chest and sat blissfully happy in her chair. This was going to be a great day.

"Are you ready?" Olivia asked the guys.

They all nodded.

"You know what to do?" Olivia asked.

They all nodded.

Olivia smiled, "Thank you so much guys."

They smiled.

"No problem Liv," Elliot patted her shoulder. He lead the other guys out of the squad room to run their various errands.

Olivia pulled her jacket on and picked up her phone.

"Where's everyone?" Cragen asked.

Olivia looked up, "They're running errands. Do you need something?"

Cragen shook his head, "I was just wondering."

"I'm gonna head out too," Olivia smiled, "Call me if you need anything."

Cragen nodded.

A few minutes after Olivia left, Alex walked in. Cragen saw her through his open office door and called out, "Can I help you counselor?"

She looked around, "Where is everyone?"

Cragen shrugged, "Olivia said they all went to run errands."

"Oh," Alex stepped into Cragen's office, "Do you want to go have lunch?"

Cragen looked surprised.

Alex smirked, "I didn't mean to startle you Captain."

"Sorry," Cragen muttered, "I'd love to go to lunch with you."

"Great," Alex smiled fully.

"You seem happier than usual, Alex," Cragen pointed out as he sat at a small restaurant, not far from the precinct, with Alex, "Getting kidnapped and shot at usually doesn't do that to people." He smiled.

Alex giggled, "I guess not. It could have been the three days off, though."

Cragen nodded, "Olivia's been a lot happier too. What did you do to her in those three days?"

Alex picked that unfortunate moment to take a drink and choked. She coughed and sputtered a few seconds before being able to breath again.

"Are you okay?" Cragen asked, concerned.

Alex just smiled and nodded. How was Cragen supposed to know that doing something to Olivia had been the one thing on the forefront of Alex's mind all day?

"We just relaxed," Alex shrugged.

Cragen nodded. He knew something was up. He just wasn't going to let on that he knew something, until he knew exactly what was going on.

Lunch went on without further incident. They joked and exchanged stories, enjoying each other's company.

As they walked back to the precinct, Cragen mentioned, "I had a good time. We should do that again some time."

Alex beamed, "Definitely."

Alex left Cragen at the precinct and drove back to her office, in hopes of tracking down Serena and getting her dress.

She poked her head into Serena's office and found it empty.

"Looking for Serena?" Jack McCoy asked from behind Alex.

Alex turned to him and nodded.

"She said she needed to run some errands," Jack replied and walked off.

Alex stood puzzled. Errands? How is it that everyone was running errands on the same day at the same time?

Alex walked back to her office, thinking. The pieces just didn't seem to fit right yet.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by a beautiful midnight blue evening gown hanging on the curtain rod over her window.

Alex walked over and picked it up. She noticed it was backless and had a long slit up the side. It was one of the most beautiful dresses she'd ever seen. There were matching heels on the floor below the dress.

"Wow," Alex breathed. Olivia sure knew how to get Alex excited for a date.

Alex sunk into her chair and scanned her desk for what she had to finished before she could go home and try the dress on. She spotted a yellow piece of paper folded in the middle of her desk.

Alex picked it up and read.

Hey Lexi!

I wish I could have seen the look on your face when you saw your dress, but I had some errands to run. Good luck with your date.

Have fun,

Serena

"Errands my ass," Alex leaned back in her chair and contemplated the situation before finally deciding to get to work. Normally she would just take it home and finish that night or the next morning, but Alex hoped she wouldn't be home tonight or the next morning.

When she was finally done, it was only four. Alex packed up her things trying to figure out something to do for three hours. Just as she picked up her dress to walk out the door, her phone rang.

"Cabot," Alex answered.

"Hey," Serena's cheerful voice came over the line.

"Hi Serena," Alex replied.

"Are you done?" Serena asked, "Or can you at least put it off until tomorrow?"

"I'm done already," Alex closed and locked her office door, "Why?"

"Are you on your way out?" Serena asked, barely able to contain her excitement.

"Serena," Alex strode down the hallway toward the elevator, "What's going on?"

"I'll meet you outside," Serena replied.

Alex stepped onto the elevator just as the doors closed, "Serena what's going on?"

"You are really impatient sometimes," Serena stated.

Alex was desperately trying to figure out what Serena was up to. When the elevator doors opened, she walked outside to see Serena standing at the bottom of the steps, looking up at her with her phone to her ear.

Serena hung up as Alex walked up to her.

Serena relieved Alex of the dress and shoes before speaking, "You have an appointment."

"Where?" Alex raised an eyebrow while following Serena to her car.

Serena held out her hand, "Give me your keys."

Alex fished out her keys, but didn't hand them over, "Where are we going?"

"I've been sworn to secrecy," Serena snatched the keys from Alex.

She unlocked Alex's car and put the dress and shoes in the backseat before getting into the driver's seat. Alex got in as Serena started the car.

"By who?" Alex asked.

Serena smiled, "By apparently the most amazing girlfriend in the world. Who happens to belong to you."

Alex raised an eyebrow.

"Relax Lex," Serena pulled onto the street, "I will promise you this will be one of the best days of your life."

Olivia tapped her pen on the desk. Everything was falling into place fairly easily. She hoped Alex would like everything. It had been a lot of work to put it together in less than twelve hours.

Elliot set his phone in the cradle, "That was Kathy."

Olivia leaned forward, "Did she get them?"

Elliot nodded and smiled.

Olivia sank back in her chair in relief. "Tell Kathy thank you so much," She looked at all the guys in the squad room, "You guys are so great. I definitely couldn't do this without you."

Fin smirked, "This is one hell of a first date."

"Yeah, good luck topping it," Munch added.

Olivia smiled, slyly and put her hands behind her head, "Hey, it's her turn after this."

The guys laughed.

Serena pulled to a stop outside of Alex's favorite spa.

Alex looked to Serena for explanation.

Serena smiled, "You have a massage, followed by a manicure and pedicure."

Alex's eyes widened, "Olivia did this?"

Serena nodded, "I'm going to take your dress to your place and I'll be out here when you're done."

"Are you my chauffer?" Alex smiled.

"Only until I get you home," Serena smirked, "Now go. I have stuff to do."

Alex got out and walked into the spa.

The receptionist greeted her, "Hello Miss Cabot, right this way."

After a very relaxing hour and a half at the spa, Alex walked outside to find Serena sitting outside on the phone, in Alex's car.

When Alex opened the door she heard, Serena quickly say, "She's getting in the car now. Bye." Serena smiled at Alex, "How do we feel?"

"Like seven o'clock isn't going to get here fast enough," Alex replied.

Serena chuckled and drove Alex home. She got out with Alex and walked her to the door. "Be ready by seven."

Alex nodded and took her keys back from Serena.

Serena hugged Alex and walked off down the street.

"Hello Miss Cabot," Sam smiled, holding the door open.

"Hi Sam," Alex floated in.

David smiled too, "Hello Miss Cabot."

Alex pushed the button for the elevator and turned to see Sam and David still smiling at her. "What?" she asked. It clicked and she playfully crossed her arms, "Don't tell me that you two are in on this too."

Sam chuckled, "Okay, we won't."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," David said, but the twinkle in his eye betrayed him.

The elevator doors opened and Alex stepped in, "Well, whatever part you have in tonight, thank you."

"It's our pleasure Miss Cabot," David genuinely smiled.

Alex smiled back as the doors closed.

When she got into her apartment, Alex went straight to getting ready. She wanted to look perfect for Olivia. Especially after everything she'd done and for the things that she was sure were to come.

About an hour later, Alex slipped on the dress and the shoes. She looked at herself in her full length mirror and smiled. She didn't look half bad.

She'd done her hair in soft curls that fell gracefully around her shoulders. Her pale skin was a beautiful contrast to the midnight blue dress.

Alex then looked over at the clock on her nightstand. It was only six forty-five. She groaned. Seven o'clock definitely wasn't coming fast enough.
