The last in a series of one-shots based on lines from Fall Out Boy Songs.

Author's Note: Each main character will have a chapter based on a line. I have chosen to write everything in first person…we'll see how it turns out.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Nothing at all. I just like to pretend I do.

Spoilers: Possibly.

Reviews are greatly appreciated.

"Dear Gravity, you held me down in this starless city."

'Tiffany Blews'

Someday, I'm gonna run this lab.

No, seriously. I am.

…

Fine, don't believe me. It's not like anyone else does.

Everyone just sees me as Greg. Greggo. The lab rat.

Never mind the fact that I'm an actual CSI now…

Ugh.

People don't take me seriously…I guess that could possibly be my fault.

Fine, it is my fault.

Excuse me for trying to keep the lab interesting!

Ugh.

I digress…

Sure, Grissom is in charge now. And everyone knows when he retires or...whatever it is Grissoms do, Catherine will take over. And that's only right, because she's been here longer than anyone else…except Grissom, of course.

But Cat isn't getting any younger. PLEASE don't tell her I said that…or that I called her Cat.

I'm not saying Cat…er, Catherine is old at all, but she's only seven, maybe eight years younger than Grissom. Suffice it to say that if he waits to retire 'til he's 62, her retirement will follow a few years later. And THAT'S if she doesn't decide to quit sooner so she can spend more time with that kid of her's.

Or maybe she'll marry some rich old dude who, like, owns a casino or something…yeah, I can kind of picture her doing that.

Don't tell her that either.

Then there's Nick. Nick isn't gonna want to stay in Vegas until he's an old man. Yeah, he's a darn good CSI, but one day he is going to wake up and realize he is middle aged. He'll decide he wants to settle down, have a family, yada yada yada…

Nick will wind up back in Texas.

A few years ago Warrick was left in charge of the lab for, like, a day. He freaked. Things got totally out of control. He worked it all out in the end, but I'm pretty sure he was traumatized enough to never want to run the lab ever again.

Can't say I blame the poor guy.

Sara…ah Sara. The love of my life. Sara would love to take over the lab one of these days.

She's already been on a power trip for the past eight years or so.

But no one in their right mind would leave the lab in her hands. Sara may be brilliant, beautiful, a goddess on earth…ahem. But she is not a leader. She'd have everyone hating her within hours.

The poor girl is just not a people person.

If you look past the CSIs from other shifts and any newbies who might join over the years, there will be just one person left to take over: Me.

And why shouldn't I take over? I mean, I've learned from the best! Grissom, Cat, Warrick, Nick…even Sara. They've all taught me more than I could ever imagine…not just about the job, but about life.

I know they aren't all going to stick around the lab forever; even though I hate the thought of our team breaking up, it's gonna happen eventually.

One of these days I'm going to be the only one left…and this will all be my lab.

Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing! I hope you've enjoyed this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
