Ok my fellow, EO shipping, Dani hating fans, it's time we got something straight. All though Dani may be a whiny annoying bitch from Lithuania, Elliot started it.

I know we all love El, but it's time we faced the facts. He's being a horny asshole. So that's how I will portray him in this fic. ONLY AT FIRST. I know, in my story, and on the show, he will come around.

If any of this angers you, so what? READ IT ANYWAYS. And then review . That's my rant for the day.

This takes place right after Olivia and Elliot's fight. Liv goes home and comes to the squad the next day.

It had been so long. Everything seemed so familiar, but she no longer felt like she belonged.

Olivia shoved her hands in her pockets, and slowly entered the squad room. Munch was throwing things at Fin, and Cragen was chewing out Elliot.

Just how she had left them, she smiled.

But she turned to her desk where her favorite blonde was sitting, going over paperwork. NOT how she had left her desk, she thought glumly, mood ruined.

Dani was the first to notice her come in, and she was sure her look was of pure terror. But then Dani wiped the look off her face, and smiled weakly up at Olivia.

" John!" Dani exclaimed. "Look who's here!"

Dani nodded her head toward Olivia. Olivia smiled at the way his faced lit up upon seeing her.

John enveloped her in a hug, and she allowed herself to momentarily relax in his arms. Not 3 seconds later, Fin walked up behind Munch.

" Find your own girl," he remarked dryly, and gave Olivia hug of his own.

Olivia smiled, knowing it wasn't often Fin hugged anyone.

Just then, Elliot and Cragen popped out of the captain's office.

" Olivia!" Cragen half yelled. But, noticing there seemed to be a circle forming around her, he got down to business. " I see we have all been getting reacquainted, but we still have work to do. Jess is missing, and Anderson is still on the loose. Fin, Munch, go talk to the parents again, find out if they've heard anything. Beck, Stabler, track down the lead we just discussed."

" Yes sir," Munch rolled his eyes and gave a mock salute.

With that, everyone around her began to exit, while Casey appeared in the doorway.

" Hey!" she exclaimed, and hugged Olivia. " Sorry I was so formal at the trial, that case was eating me alive."

" It's alright," Olivia smiled, and sat down at what was now Dani's desk. Casey pulled a chair up so that she was sitting across from her.

Olivia stared at the door, as if thinking about Elliot would make him appear.

" Oh," Casey said, catching on.

Olivia sighed, slightly annoyed at Casey's perceptiveness.

" How long has it been going on," Olivia asked, so quietly she could barely hear herself. She was ashamed.

" I'm not sure. I went over to Elliot's place a week ago to prep him for a trial and I… caught them in the act,"

Olivia nodded.

" I just did too," she frowned.

Casey shook her head, but clasped Olivia's hand on the desk. " If it makes you feel any better Fin went over there to kick her ass, but she was gone."

Olivia laughed out loud, releasing some of the bottled up tension.

" I was gonna go over there with my bat too, but I didn't want to dent it over her. Not worth it," Casey continued to lighten the situation.

Olivia smiled once again but shook her head.

" She didn't even know did she," Olivia asked, referring to Dani, and the way she felt about Elliot.

Casey sighed.

" I'm not even sure she new that you two were even close," Casey pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Olivia nodded.

" I didn't think so," she whispered, as tears began to well up in her eyes.

But being Olivia, she toughened up and swallowed them.

" Coffee?" Casey asked, getting up.

Olivia followed.

" You still owe me all of those undercover stories," Casey smiled, pushing Olivia's arm gently.

Olivia smiled.

The next morning, Cragen called Olivia into his office.

" Olivia, sit down," he motioned. " Welcome back."

Olivia took a seat in front of her captain, and nodded thank you. She was a bit nervous.

" I know you're probably worried about you're job right now Olivia, but I just want to let you know, it's safe. I'm assuming you'll want to work with Elliot again…" he continued, obviously oblivious to what was going on at the moment.

What about the blonde, she wondered.

" But for right now, this case demands as much personnel as we can get, so you will have to ride with both Dani and Elliot for the time being. Elliot will bring you up to speed," Cragen finished.

Olivia put on the best smile she could, and stood up.

" Thank you, captain," she said, and slowly exited her office.

Olivia walked over to Munch and Fin, who were at it again, and sat on top of Fin's desk.

" So what's the verdict? Am I stuck with you?" Elliot asked walking over to Olivia. He smiled.

" Yup, you get your favorite partner back," Olivia joked, for some reason feeling at ease with the playful banter she had missed.

" All right, enough of the soap opera get your asses to work. We got a perp to catch, girl to save, the whole deal," the cap bellowed, and the cops of SVU grumbled and got up.

It was true, Olivia was still pissed at Elliot for what he had done, but maybe, just maybe, they could get through this.
