A/N: Hi! I'm back! Sorry it's been so long, but I've been focusing my attention to my other stories, but now they're finished I can focus on this one! I also have two more CSI: NY stories: Singing Your Heart Out, and Lindsay's Blog, both are D/L…of course!!!
Throughout the next couple of days, Danny stayed with Lindsay in her apartment. The rest of her colleagues and friends came by when they could get off work if it wasn't too late, and they occasionally had movie nights together, stuffing their faces with popcorn. Lindsay wasn't cheering up exactly, but she was starting to open up a bit. However, on their last movie night before Danny and Lindsay left for Montana to go to Milli's funeral, one single movie brought Lindsay right back down into her depressed mood again. The Lion King.
Flack, Stella, Mac and Hawkes met up together outside Lindsay's apartment building with pizza and movies. They had chosen kids animated Disney movies so that they could have a good laugh and sing along with the various songs. Since Milli died, they realised that Lindsay loved to sing, dance and write songs when she was feeling down, so Disney seemed like the best choice.
As they pressed the buzzer connected to Lindsay's apartment, they were expecting Danny to be letting them up. Lindsay never seemed interested in who was at the door or anything like that. In fact, if Danny weren't there, Lindsay would just sit in the living room. She wouldn't sleep, wouldn't eat, which is why Danny had moved in, and Lindsay was extremely grateful. So, they were extremely surprised when instead of Danny's voice, they heard a meek voice saying, "Hello?"
They were so surprised; they forgot to answer! Well until they heard her voice through the machine once again, then Stella answered and Lindsay quickly let them up.
When they got up there, they all hugged Lindsay and Danny, then opened the pizza and put The Little Mermaid in the DVD machine.
They were all having a good laugh listening to Flack sing 'Part Of His World' in a girly voice, and even Lindsay let out the occasional giggle, which they were glad to hear. But then it all went wrong.
Stella got up and replaced The Little Mermaid with The Lion King, and as the opening titles came on, Danny felt Lindsay stiffen next to him. He turned to her and whispered, "Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I think so," she replied, and leant unconsciously into Danny' chest.
It was all going okay, and Lindsay wasn't getting too emotional, until the song 'Hakuna Matata' came on. Lindsay let a few lone tears creep down her face until she jumped out of Danny's arms and ran into the bedroom.
The others sat there shocked until Danny stood up, and decided to go through and see her.
When he went in, he saw why she was so upset. From a small portable TV in the corner of the room Lindsay was watching a video from what looked liked a talent show.
"And now," called the commentator, "We have two twin sisters who have come to the Maldives all the way from the small American town of Bozeman, Montana. Please welcome on to the stage, I'm guessing these are nicknames, Lilo and Marshmallow!"
Everyone cheered as two sisters made their way up onto the stage and started singing. Then Danny realised why she was upset. They were singing Hakuna Matata.
Danny sighed. He didn't want her getting so upset again, as she was starting to deal with it.
So he approached the bed and took her in his arms, trying to calm her down, until eventually the tears went and her breathing got less erratic.
They then went out to try and enjoy the rest of the movie. Lindsay found it hard, but she wouldn't let them change the DVD. She needed to watch it at some point.
The guys eventually left, leaving Lindsay and Danny to get some sleep.
The next few days were going to be hard for them, and they would need all the strength that they could muster.
A/N: So there you go! Personally I hate this chapter, but I needed to move it along a bit, and this was the only way I could think of. Please review. Constructive criticism is appreciated, but flames aren't.
