Hey guys. Thanks so much for the reviews. Here's chapter two, dedicated to my Twin Leah cause it's her birthday, and Lynne cause she's forcing me to post now :P
Hope ya'll enjoy
"Oh my God! They have bumper cars! And a ghost train! And waltzers! Look at that big spinning thing that takes you upside down! I wanna go on everything!" Greg exclaimed, running round his colleagues and gesturing wildly in every direction.
"Why did we bring him?" Nick asked, moving closer to Sara to avoid being hit by an errant limb.
"We didn't trust him home alone and Lindsey couldn't babysit?" Catherine quipped, causing the group to laugh.
A few moments later Greg stopped moving and turned to Catherine.
"Hey!" He glared as his friends' laughter resumed. He shrugged it off. "C'mon guys! We're wasting valuable ride time!" The overenthusiastic CSI linked his arms through Sara's and Nick's then proceeded to drag them towards the rollercoaster, the rest of the group following behind.
Lou moved to join the others but stopped when he felt Catherine's hand slip from his.
"Don't even think about it. There is no way in hell you're going to get me on that thing."
The detective chuckled and reached out, trying to grab her arm but she moved back. "Unless Doc Robbins is hiding somewhere with a sedative, there is no chance I'm setting foot on that."
He held his hands up in defeat. "Fine, but it's your loss." He closed the gap between them and pressed a quick kiss to her lips before jogging over to join the others in the line for the ride. Even Ray was there, which surprised Catherine greatly; he didn't seem the kind of person who would enjoy this kind of thing.
She leaned against a bench, watching their progress through the line and onto the rollercoaster. The strawberry blonde laughed as she caught sight of Lou waving at her from his secure seat one row from the front. A few moments later the ride started, and Catherine watched as it ascended the slope before plunging down the track, the screams of the occupants ringing out into the night air. Her blue eyes followed the journey along the track, following the car as it twisted and looped at high speed.
As soon as it had started it seemed, the ride was over and everyone piled off.
"Holy crap that was amazing!" Greg shouted, bounding over to Catherine. "You should've come on that! You totally missed out!"
"Not a chance Greggo." She bit back a chuckle at the sight of a green-looking Hodges trying to lean against Nick and Ray.
"You're coming on the next one though right? You gotta help keep the female side up." Sara grinned at her.
"Sorry Sar, if the next one goes upside down you've gotta hold your own again."
"Deal!" Before Sara could respond Greg cut in, grabbing Catherine's arm and tugging her over to the waltzers. "See? No upside down-ness."
The former lab rat grinned at his supervisor as he forced her into place in the line.
"Greg don't butcher the language," she reprimanded.
"Sorry… Grissom." He snickered.
Catherine glared at his cheekiness.
"Do you want me to go on this damn ride or not?" Suitably chastised, Greg nodded.
"Then I suggest you shut up."
Hope to have chapter three up on Friday cause I'm going to London for the day tomorrow. IDINA MENZEL AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL BABY!
