A/N: I told you there would be an update soon, didn't i?! And this was soon, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. A short one this time, and also the last chapter you'll read about Madison when she's fifteen. Next time, she will be sixteen years old, and.. no i'm not ganna say more, you'll just have to wait and see ;)

Disclaimer: No, i do not own CSI: Miami. It's Jerry Bruckheimer who does. I'm just borrowing them, and i promise you Jerry, i will give them back. I just want them a little longer... When you get them back they'll be as good as new. Almost...

As they entered the restaurant, everyone got a very lovely surprise. The place looked very new and fresh, with real flowers everywhere, modern lamps and beautiful paintings all over the walls.
A man who looked to be around twenty-five, approached them.
"Would you like a table for three?" he asked politely.
"Yes please," Horatio said as he took his sunglasses off.
The man led them to a table, and they sat down. He gave Madison a menu, and then one to Suzie and one to Horatio.
They all looked closely at the menus, after a while the man was back.
"Have you decided yet?" He asked.
"Yes, I have," Madison said immediately.
"Me too," Horatio said. "You finished?" He asked, looking at Suzie. She was just about to answer, but then she looked up, and said:
"Yelina, Ray, hey!"
Horatio and Madison turned around to see Yelina and Ray standing a few metres away.
"Hey," Ray said as they walked to the table.
"Hey!" Yelina said.
"You want to join us?" Suzie asked.
"You don't mind?" Yelina asked.
"No, of course not! Please sit down," said Madison.
"Thanks," Yelina said and sat down beside Horatio, and gave him a quick kiss
on the cheek.
"Hey," she said, and smiled shyly to Horatio. "Thanks for last night. I had a wonderful time."
"So did I," he said, smiling back shyly. Ray sat down beside Madison and the grown ups started to talk.
"You've found out?" Madison whispered to Ray, knowing the grown ups wouldn't
hear them; they were already immersed in a discussion about a new case that just had been wrapped up again. The new evidence that had been discovered indicated that a man sentenced to death maybe was innocent.
"About them? Yeah. I asked Mom what they had done, and… well let's say I have not heard a worse explanation." They both giggled.
"I asked Horatio how the night had been, what they had done?"
"I bet he didn't give an answer either."
"He didn't, he just said they had talked, and it had been very nice." Both of them laughed, and the grown-ups looked questioningly at them.
"Ray, have you decided what you wanna eat?" Yelina asked, when they refused to tell them what they were laughing about.
"I'll have the same as Madison," he answered, wanting to continue the conversation with Madison in private again.
First Yelina looked surprised, then she just shrugged and turned back to join the conversation with the others.
"It took some time for them to realize," he whispered under his breath.
"Yeah, I've known, since I was like ten."
"Me too. Or well, maybe not that long – maybe since I was fourteen."
"But you must've noticed earlier!" She said surprised.
"I'm a guy!" He defended himself.
She sighed, but then grinned.
"Do you think they know we know?"
"Ummm… Sorry, I didn't catch that," he said, grinning.
"Do you think they know, that we know that they are having a relationship – on
that level."
"Madison…" Ray said and motioned her to look up.
Horatio, Suzie and Yelina were looking at them.
"Umm…. Hey guys…" Madison said, embarrassed. She felt her cheeks turn red. "Decided what to eat yet?"

The dinner went by, without any more embarrassing situations. They all enjoyed the dinner, and three hours later they had paid the bill.
"You ready to go?" Horatio asked Madison and Ray, as he, Suzie and Yelina rose from their chairs.
"Yeah, let's go," Madison said.
"Madison, I need to talk to you," Suzie said, and dragged her away from the others.
"Some of my colleagues are coming tonight, we're gonna discuss my new job over a dinner, and we cannot be interrupted. Ok?" Suzie said, looking seriously at her.
Madison sighed. "Not again mom, they were here yesterday! And the day before yesterday."
"No those were different. Please Madison, this dinner is really important! I don't want them to come over that often, but if this goes well I will get a new job, with a higher salary."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I know you don't like that they're here all the time, but give me a chance. This is the last time they come over before they decide if they're gonna hire me or not."
"So, you might get a new job? Why haven't you told me before?!"
"I didn't want to say anything before I knew for sure. And I still don't but well… there is a god chance."
"I'm so happy for you, mom!" Madison said and hugged her. "I'll see if I can spend the night with Ray then."
They walked back to the group.
"Ray, do you mind if I spend the night at your place?"
"No, of course not!"
"Yelina, is it ok with you?"
"Well yes, but I'm staying at Horatio's tonight so you'll be alone. You'll have to check with your Mom if that's ok with her."
Madison pretended that it was nothing special that Yelina was about to spend
the evening at Horatio's and turned to her mom.
"I guess that's alright. Ray, you'll look after her, won't you?"
Madison rolled her eyes.
"Yeah I will, no problem," he said, grinning to Madison.
"Mom, he's only two years older than me!!"
"And that's why he's the one in charge. OK?"
Madison answered with a sigh, and then she went out of the restaurant, closely followed by Ray and the others.

"You think Horatio and Yelina can finally and officially be called a couple now?" Ray asked as Madison came out of the bathroom.
"I don't know… Honestly I think they would be embarrassed if you said it to them, but I'm sure they see themselves as a couple. Don't you think so?"
"Probably…"
There were a few seconds of silence before Ray started to talk again.
"So how are you feeling about Stephanie?"
"Oh, you know I miss her a lot already. And honestly I think she'll have a hard time living in New York. She hates that city – more than you can imagine."
"But how can anyone possibly hate New York?!"
"I know, but I think the reason is that the only memories she has from there are things she'd rather want to forget. While she lived there she had no friends, and her grandma died and that's just for starters. Her time in New York hasn't been fun at all. Even if she had friends there the second and third time she lived there, she'll miss Miami so much that she won't enjoy her stay there. She has, just like me, fallen in love with Miami, and she can't, just like me, think of another place on earth to live in."
"Oh, I didn't know that. Well I knew about your love for Miami…" He grinned. "But you seem to be ok."
"Yeah, but Michael and Joachim have made it a lot easier."
"Michael and Joachim, those are the English guys everybody's talking about, right?"
"Everybody's talking about?"
"Yeah, people say they had a fight about you."
"Fight about me?!" Madison laughed. "No, not really, where did they get that from?"
"I dunno."
"Just for your information; they are just friends of mine, nothing else. Tell that to those idiots who think different please."
"Alright, I will." They both grinned. Madison's phone started to ring. She took it out from her pocket and looked at the screen. 'Steph' she read.
"Speak of the devil," she said before answering.
"Hey Steph!"
"Hey honey, how are you?"
"I'm fine. I'm at Ray's," she replied. "He says hi, by the way," she added, after looking at him.
"Hey Ray!" Stephanie shouted in the phone, Madison moved the phone from her ear fast.
"He heard you," Madison said, and giggled.
"So how was dinner?"
"I love Thai food, and Korrapong has wonderful food!"
"Told you so."
"Yeah, and Ray and Yelina joined us! AND YOU WON'T GUESS WHAT!"
"What?" Stephanie asked.
"Yesterday I went to Horatio's, but when I knocked at the door, Yelina was with him. They were having lunch. And when I asked him today how it had been, and what they had done, he blushed and said 'we… you know just talked'!!!"
"Oh my god, I can't believe it! I thought it never would happen!"
"I know, and that's not all! When they joined us at Korrapong, Yelina said
'I had a wonderful time last night', and kissed him – just on his cheek but well…it's still a kiss! And tonight she's staying at his place!"
"No, you're kidding me!"
"Nope, I'm not."
"Aww, I'm so happy for them! Are they a couple now then?"
"Well... I don't know. Not officially, but yeah, I would say they are."
"If you're spending the night together then you are."
"Yeah, you're right. So how's your day been?"
"Well, honestly pretty boring. Been spending the day with Sofia. Could anyone look after someone more boring? But I guess she's alright, I mean she only talks about horses, but I guess it's better than spending the day all alone."
Madison laughed.
"I feel sorry for you."
"Thanks. And now you're sleeping at Ray's?"
"Yeah, I am."
"You know, if you weren't related I would definitely tell you to take this chance. You know, he's pretty good looking."
"He is? I've not thought about that," Madison said, as she moved a bit further away from Ray, so he wouldn't hear Stephanie's voice.
"Never thought about that?!"
"He's my half-sibling, Steph."
"Yeah, ok, but at least you know now."
"Thank you for the information, I'm very thankful. Now I'm not gonna be able to think about anything else."
"Yes, you will."
"Probably..."
"Hey, you know what?!"
"What?"
"Well I was supposed to be a surprise but I can't keep quite… I'm coming over to Miami at Christmas!"
"But that's ages, Steph!"
"I know. At first mom and dad wanted me to stay in NY until my birthday, but I made them change their minds!"
"Yay!"

Ready for part two? well, even if you aren't Part Two will be next thing you'll read. Review as always!
