Winner takes all

"That Sara, is a shoe tree. I bet you double or nothing I can get my shoes on it on the first try and you can't" he said as he stood up in his stocking feet.

"Your kidding right?" she responded with a hint of disbelief. The rest of the guys began to chuckle and Grissom had to practically bite his lip to keep from smiling. Greg just looked at her expectantly.

Up for anything Sara plopped down on the ground and took off her shoes. "Ok Greg, any rules to follow?"

"Nope, just get them up with as few tosses as possible" he responded as he tied his shoes together. Sara did the same and then looked over at him, "Ok Greg, you first."

Greg walked around the tree a couple of times trying to find the right angle. He found the point he wanted to try and began to swing his shoes in circles before letting them loose. They flew up into the air and landed on a pile of shoes.

They all looked on with humor as his shoes began to slide off the pile. They looked like they were about to slide completely off when they were caught by a small branch sticking out. Greg whooped as Nick and Warrick patted him on the back. Katie looked on at the display with what looked like disgust.

Sara looked at the tree for a moment, turning her head this way and then that. She took her time looking at the tree and then from where she was standing she took aim. Instead of winding her shoes before throwing them she did an underhand throw, landing the shoes on one of the top most practically empty branches.

Greg looked on slack jawed, he really did not think she would be able to make that shot. Nick and Warrick whooped before running up to Sara and giving her a hug. Catherine whistled and yelled, "you go girl". Greg plopped himself down on the ground and thought about what he was going to have to do tonight.

Sara came up to Greg and gave him a pat on the back, "hey Greggo, it's not all that bad. I have to walk the rest of the day in my socks." He looked up at her and smiled, then reached into his bag and took out a couple of pairs of flip flops. Sara rumpled his hair and took a pair.

She stood up and held out a hand to him and smiled, he returned the smile and took her hand. She pulled him up and the two of them took off their socks and put on the flip flops. The rest of the day proved to be just as fun. By the time they left the second hole only Katie still had her shoes on, having refused to take part in such a "childish and unsophisticated display."

Catherine never managed to get the point of the game and by the fourth hole gave up completely while Warrick chuckled under his breath. After receiving a hair curling glare from Cath he decided he better not laugh any longer, though the rest of the guys laughed their heads off. Greg and Sara continued to play the game as well as before and Grissom decided he would just try and have some fun for once.

When they were done they all returned their gear and jovially disembarked into a van and headed back to the hotel. "So Greg, looking forward to tonight?" Sara remarked, turning in her seat to look at him. He gave her a snotty look and then stuck his tongue out at her. She laughed as she turned back around in her seat.

It was around eleven when they all snuck down to the pool, they were all wearing their swimming gear and Sara was sporting a huge grin. The pool was about to close and Grissom had arranged with management for it to remain open for the CSI team, telling them they were going to use it for an exercise.

The management was more than happy to comply due to the mix-up earlier in the week. They waited until midnight, enjoying the facilities and all they had to offer, Grissom and Sara remaining in the hot tub while the rest of them enjoyed the pool.

Sara looked at the clock on the wall and smiled at Grissom, "are you really going to make him do it?" he asked her. He got his answer when her grin widened and she turned in her seat, "hey Greg, guess what time it is?"

The occupants of the pool all froze and looked at the youngest of the group. He groaned out "really Sara, do I have to?"

"What's the matter Greggo, afraid someone might see your darker side?" Sara replied.

Greg glared back at her and then disappeared below the water, returning to the surface moments later holding his swimming trunks in his hand. He held them up for her to see and then threw them onto the cement.

"Oh no Greggo, I want proof. Get out of the pool. I want full payment." She yelled out to him. The guys all laughed when he got out of the pool wearing a Speedo. Sara was sure he had done something like that when he didn't protest much before relinquishing his suit.

"OK Greggo, you know what to do."

"But the water's cold" he protested, which made the guys break out in laughter.

"Sorry, little man. This was your idea, not mine. Now pay up" she said through her own laughter.

Greg huffed out loud before reaching out and removing his Speedo and quickly jumping back into the pool. The laughter coming from the guys increased at Greg's obvious embarrassment. When he resurfaced he gave them all a glare, which only egged their laughter on more.

The next chapter is going to be GSR all the way. It's been a couple of chapters since we have had the pleasure and you will all soon learn what the deal is about Katie. Thursday is the next chapter and I thought I would never get there. Again, sorry for the length in time between the chapters, I've got 9 stories going right now and I am trying to close them up. One last thing, I have officially finished writing this story and plan to post a new chapter with every ten reviews I receive. SO PUSH THAT BUTTON AND GIVE ME A REVIEW! PLEASE?
