Engaged
On screen was a bunch of grass, but you can overhear a conversation.
"Is it on?" Catherine asked.
"How should I know?" Came the voice of her daughter, undisputably sounding exactly like her mother at fifteen.
"It's your camera."
"Yeah, but I haven't used it since you gave it to me. Oh...Wait, it's on."
The screen was brought up to reveal a just setting sun and Catherine's backyard.
"Are you sure?" Catherine looked sceptically into the camera.
"Mom, you're on camera!"
"Oh. Okay. Well, It's forth of July, and of course, everyone is here. Over there is Nick and Greg."
The camera turned to Catherine's left where Nick and Greg were debating something at the picnic table.
"Warrick is...inside, so get him later, Linds. I'm sure he'd love that for when he's older. And of course, Sara and Gil."
The camera focused in on the two who were leaning on a tree, wrapped in a blanket. It came back to Cath when she started talking again.
"Who were, as you must know, outed six months ago, at the Christmas party. Now, Linds, give me the camera so I can get you."
"Mom, no."
"Yeah, come on, you'll want to see it later. It'll be fun. Please. For Mom."
Lindsay sighed as the camera shifted onto her.
"This, as you all know, is my beautiful daughter, Lindsay. Go get Jake."
"Are you joking?"
"No, come on. You'll look back on this and laugh."
Lindsay rolled her eyes into the camera as she walked away.
Catherine's voice narrarated while she move the camera.
"Now, to get down to more serious business."
She walked up to Grissom and Sara.
"Okay, guys, you're going to have to show the ring to the camera."
Sara looked blank, "To the camera? Why?"
"So that the viewers know what it looks like."
"If they want to know what it looks like, they can look at my hand."
"Oh, come on, please?"
Sara smirked and rolled her eyes, pulling her hand out from under the blanket. The camera zoomed in on a intricate ring.
"Damn, Gil, I could stare at that thing all day."
"Thank you...I think."
"It really is fantastic. Kiss for the camera."
Sara shook her head, "Uhh, no."
"Jeez, you're worse than Lindsay, please?"
Grissom sighed, "Just one."
"Oh, beleive me, from the Christmas tape that everyone has, this will be nothing."
Sara fake glared at Catherine before turning to Grissom, pecking his lips.
"If you need more than that, go retape Christmas."
Catherine laughed and turned around to see Lindsay and Jake walking this way.
"Aww. Aren't they sweet?"
"Mom, This is pointless. Go video Warrick or the guys."
"Sweetheart, smile for the camera or everyone will know that you had a crush on Greg."
Jake's eyebrows rose, "What?"
"Not cool, Mom!" Lindsay yelled as Catherine taped the retreating figures. Warrick came out of the house as the other two went in.
"Hey, who gave you the video camera?"
"It's mine, now smile wide."
Warrick laughed, "Turn around and get the fireworks."
Catherine did, and the camera went from the flames in the sky to the other flames on the ground.
"Greg! Nick!" Catherine yelled as they tried to extinguish the flames on the ground.
Nick made his way back to the house for the extinguisher and talked to the camera on the way, "Who knew the fire didn't stop once the flaming alcohol hit the ground?" Laughing, he entered the house, and the camera blackened.
