I do not own any of the csi characters, and no profit will be made off of this.

Greg Sanders walked into the break room on a Friday afternoon waiting to start his shift. Warrick Brown was sitting in one of the chairs reading the afternoon paper. He looked up to see Greg there looking depressed.

"Hey, Greg, I heard what happened…"

"I don't want to talk about it." Greg snapped. "I don't want the whole building to know."

Warrick went back to reading his paper. It was then Grissom walked in.

"Greg, I'm sorry about you and Sara. I thought you guys would never break up."

Greg then stood up. "Look, I said I didn't want to talk about it. It's bad enough I have to go through this in the first place. And it's bad enough I have to see her every day. Don't worry, I'm sure I can manage on my own."

Greg then stormed out of the room. Catherine ran into him on his way out.

"Gee, what's his problem?"

"Nothing," Grissom said, "Just leave him alone."

Greg was in the lab doing his work when Sara walked in. "I need these in CODIS ASAP."

"Yes you're majesty." Greg replied. "I will make sure and make them my number one priority."

"Greg, you don't need to be cocky like that. Just because we're not going together anymore doesn't mean that we can't be civilized."

"I'd appreciate it if you left me alone, so I can get these done. I'll page you with the results."

Sara walked out of the room very angry. She didn't let it bother her, though. Greg worked the rest of the day alone.

The next day Greg walked into the lab with a huge smile on his face.

"I see you're having a good day so far." Catherine exclaimed.

"You bet I am. I had a date last night with the most amazing girl. Perfect in every way. I think this is really meant to be."

Catherine smiled. "I remember you saying that about someone else."

"Well, that someone else turned out to be the opposite of what I had expected. The whole relationship wasn't worth it."

Greg then turned around to head toward his assigned work. It was then Nick walked in.

"Hey, Greg, Cath told me about this new girlfriend of yours. She's supposedly perfect."

"Yes, that she is."

"Tell me something, and you can be honest with me, did you just do this to get Sara jealous?"

"You know what Nick," Greg replied, "If that was your business, then I'd tell you. But I'm afraid that's just gonna have to stay with me."

"Well, just so you know, I found someone too. And she's awesome."

"Yeah, those hookers can be pretty awesome, can't they?"

"Very funny, Greggo. She's not a hooker, for your information. Just get back to work. By the way, she's coming to visit the lab tomorrow."

"Oh, Nicky, can't wait to meet this special girl of yours. Just wait until you meet mine. You'll drop dead on the floor she's so gorgeous."

"Yeah, I'll be the judge of that."

Nick walked out of the room with a smile in his face, and Greg just kept on working.

The next morning Greg walked into the break room to see Warrick sitting in the chair reading as usual.

"Hey, Greg, how's that lucky girl of yours?"

"Good, I wanted her to came to work with me today, but she said she had already made plans. Too bad, Nicky's bringing his girlfriend today."

"Have you talked to Sara?"

"I wish not to."

"Well, she's really pissed. She thinks this whole girlfriend thing is just a plot to make her jealous."

"Well, even if that was the truth, it's working, isn't it?"

"What's working?" Sara asked as she walked into the room.

Greg turned around to face Sara. "The so-called plot to make you jealous."

"Well, Greg, is it so-called, or is it true?"

"Sara, I would never do anything to intentionally make you mad, I guess it just happens sometimes. I want you and I to be friends, but without the whole sexual tension thing. I was just so broken about the break up, I wasn't considering your feelings."

"It's all right, Greg, we all make mistakes. I just want to let you know you're my favorite one."

"Oh, that's always good." Greg said sarcastically. He smiled, and then hugged her. It was then Nick walked in.

"Hey, everyone, I want you to meet my new girlfriend. She's really excited to meet you guys. Come on in, Jennifer."

Jennifer? Greg said to himself. He knew that name sounded awfully familiar. It was then she walked in. And his worst nightmare then came true.

"Everyone, this is Jennifer."

"Yeah, I know who she is." Greg said. "I can't believe you would do this to me Jenn." Greg exclaimed in disbelief. "How could you? With my co-worker?"

"Wait," Nick said, "This is your girlfriend, Greg?"

"Well, not anymore, Thanks for the good time, Jenn, because there'll be no more."

Nick looked at Jennifer. "Is this true, Jenn?"

Jennifer looked speechless. "I just didn't think I could get caught."

"Well, you did, missy, and it's over. You can have her Nick, she's just garbage to me now. And you won't need a warrant for it this time."

Greg ran out of the room, and Sara followed shortly behind.

"Well, at least I still got you, Nicky." Jennifer said in a devilish tone.

"Nick shot her an evil look. "No you don't, Jenny, it's over."

"I didn't know you guys worked together."

"Oh, and that's how you thought you would get away with it. I don't think so. I have a hurt friend in there, not to mention a damaged ego. I can't believe you could hurt two people at once, and feel no remorse. I feel sorry for your future victims."

Nick stormed out of the room, and headed to where Greg was at. Meanwhile, Greg and Sara were talking.

"You know, Greg, she's not worth being depressed over. She's just a no good player who can't get her head on straight."

"And you think that's going to make me feel better?"

"I'm sorry, Greg, I'm not good at this kind of stuff. I try."

"I know you do, I just feel so stupid that I couldn't see it. It was right there in front of me the whole time."

"Don't blame yourself Greg. Remember, she's the bad guy, not you. You're amazing."

Greg looked up and smiled. "Thanks."

It was then Nick walked in.

"Greg, I'm so sorry, I had no idea."

"I know, I'm not mad at you, and you have no reason to be sorry. I'm just a little confused right now."

"Well, if it helps, I broke up with her. I wasn't going to risk our friendship for something that was totally not worth it."

"Thanks, Nick, I'm sure I'll be all right. It made me realize that maybe she wasn't the right one after all. Maybe the right one was sitting in front of me the whole time."

Greg then turned to Sara. "Sara, I'm so sorry. I really want to make it work between us. I was just a total jerk, and I don't deserve someone like you."

Sara smiled. "I miss you Greg."

"I miss you too. Can we get back together? I really want to make this work."

Sara said nothing. She just leaned over and kissed Greg. "Of course we can. I can't afford to lose you again."

Greg then kissed Sara back, and Nick left the room. He could only imagine what would be going on in that lab in a few minutes. He tried not to. It brought a smile to his face knowing Greg was happy again.
