A/N: Oh my goodness, Hi guys! It's so good to be back. I was so busy the entire time. Not much going out, just constant babysitting. I only got two chapters written, but I suppose that is better than none.

I have so much to do. I got to go on the computer at the library, but only for a half-hour-ish at a time, so I couldn't do much. But I had 131 unread mail messages and like 99 of them are/were fanfiction. I got some deleted, but not much. I still have to read all those.

I also have to update my livejournal. I wrote something for everyday. So, that'll be a mechabig post as my friend called it. Oh, if anyone has one I'd love to be your friend. I'm wickedhpegh. Just tell me who you are, and that you friended me so I can friend you back. :)

Anyway, back to the story. I have no idea how the NYPD asks for time off like this, so let's just pretend this is how they do it. XD

I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as possible. Enjoy. :)

When Alex awoke the next morning she kept her eyes closed for a few minutes thinking. When her thoughts rolled around to the morning she remembered about breakfast. She sprung off the couch and ended up hitting Bobby squarely in the chest. She stumbled but Bobby helped steady her.

"And where do you think you're going?" Alex asked Bobby trying to block him from getting to the kitchen.

"I'm going to make breakfast." He said shortly.

"No you're not. I believe the deal was whoever wakes up first. And I've been up for a good ten minutes now." Alex retorted.

"As have I." Bobby replied.

"Then I guess we can both make breakfast." Alex said coyly. Bobby was about to argue back but he let it slide. "Good. I'll make some pancakes."

"And I can make sausage." Bobby suggested.

"Sounds good. But what I really need is some coffee." Alex said.

"There is some already made." Bobby told her.

"God bless timers on coffee machines." Alex said pouring Bobby and herself a cup.

When they had finished their breakfast Alex took a shower and got dressed. "Well, I've got to get going. I promised my nephew I'd come and visit today."

"I should probably tell Lewis about our little plan today, anyway." Bobby replied.

"Hey Lewis!" Bobby said as Lewis opened his door.

"Hey Bobby!" They pulled into a quick hug. "Common in. You wanna drink?" Bobby nodded. Lewis disappeared into the kitchen for a moment and emerged with two beers. They sat on the couch.

Bobby took a swig. "So, Lewis, you're going to this reunion right?"

"Yeah, I am. Does this mean that Bobby Goren is going to go also?" Lewis asked smirking.

"Yeah, only there is a little catch." Bobby began. "Alex and I are going to be working on our undercover, which means that we are going to pretend to be married. We aren't going to be part of the NYPD. I'm going to be a journalist and Alex is going to be a secretary. Now, what I need you to do is promise that you will not tell anyone about our real jobs and life, okay?"

"I promise, man." Lewis said firmly holding up his hand.

"Even when you're drunk?" Bobby asked.

"I'll try my best. But you know, you and Detective Alex… together? I don't know."

"Well, firstly, it's not Detective Alex anymore. It's just Alex. And secondly, you can't let anything slip." Bobby said firmly.

"I will do my best." Lewis said.

"I sure hope so." Bobby replied.

Monday morning rolled around and Bobby was sitting at his desk nursing a coffee when Alex walked in. She smiled at the coffee on her desk that Bobby left for her. She sat down, took a few sips, and got out some paperwork.

After a few minutes she sighed. Bobby looked up. "I feel like a break. You want to tell Deakins now?" She asked.

"I don't see why not." They both stood up and started walking towards Deakins's office.

While they were walking they checked their game plan one last time.

"I'm just going to come outright and ask him." Bobby started.

"And then I'll ask him if I just can get the days off too since you're not going to be here." Alex finished. Bobby nodded. They were now at Deakins's door.

They knocked and Deakins looked up from his paperwork.

"You guys got something for me?" He asked.

"Well, no it's more personal." Alex explained. They stepped in the door and closed it. Deakins rose and eyebrow. "It's nothing that bad." Alex told him as they sat down.

After a moment of silence Bobby started. "Well, I was just wondering… I have a lot of days to take off, and … I have a high school reunion coming up… and I was just wondering… if I could take this Friday and Monday off and uh… not be on call on Saturday and Sunday?" He looked at Deakins sheepishly.

Deakins thought about it for a minute. "Bobby Goren going to a high school reunion. Never thought I'd see the day." He paused for a moment. "Well, I guess I don't see why not I suppose. You already talked about it with Eames?" He turned to her. "What do you think?"

"Oh, I think that it is a wonderful idea. He definitely needs and deserves some time off." She stated.

"Well, I guess it's settled then. Eames, I'm sure you are going to have fun on all that paperwork you are going to do." Deakins said with a smile.

"Uh, well, actually Captain, I was wondering if I could take that time off too. I mean what good am I going to be here without Bobby?"

"I… don't think that I approve of that. I would lose my two best detectives for four days…. I don't think so." Deakins said.

"Well what about that time last year?! You gave us two weeks off!" Alex said very loudly.

"Those were different circumstances." Deakins said simply.

"Different circumstances?! Different circumstances?! What could possibly be different?" Alex said getting very aggravated.

Deakins was silent.

It then dawned on Alex. "Oh! I know what's going on! You think that we are sleeping together and we're going to take off time from work to do it!" She was seething. "Well, we're not. And if you of all people can't see that then-" Deakins then cut her off by a hand in the air. "What?! What could you possibly want to say?!"

Deakins sighed. "Well, what I would like to say is that I'm always the one defending you guys and these absurd rumors. I mean, yes at one point I might have believed them… maybe for a minute. Then I realized that you weren't. And I told myself that even if you were I wouldn't care as long as you kept it out of work. You guys are my best team. I really didn't want to lose you two for four days. And, just for the record, those were different circumstances. It was after a long, tough case and you needed it. So, whatever you guys have cooked up this weekend I guess I'll let it slide… have fun."

Both detectives looked astonished.

"Uh… thank you Captain." Bobby said slowly.

"Yeah, I'm… sorry I blew up." Alex said apologetically.

They got up and went over to their desks in a haze.

"How lucky are we?" Bobby asked Alex.

"I know, I mean, I knew he defended us, but to say it like that… who knew?" Alex replied.

"We sure are lucky." Bobby said sitting down.

"Hell yes." Alex stated.

A/N 2: So, yeah, I know Alex gets real mad real fast, but whatever. And yes, I know she probably wouldn't bring that up, but it's my fanfiction. XD
