Okee dokee. Right now, we gots 6hrs 17 minutes...let's see how much time passes as I write...
Here ya go. I'll make it a two-three -parter, to go along with tonight's ep.
Dr. Jennings sits in her swivel chair in a dark suit opposite all five CSIs, all acting shy. Alexx wears a brown suit and green blouse, Calleigh dark pants and a white shirt, Ryan dark jeans and a purple t-shirt, Eric jeans and a white dress shirt, and Horatio a black suit, black striped dress shirt and sunglasses. Dr. Jennings gets out her pen and pad of paper, turns on the recorder, and prepares herself for a long night.
Dr. Jennings: Hi everyone! Welcome to our first group session.
Calleigh: Hi Dr. Jennings.
Alexx: Hi doctor.
Ryan: Hey.
Horatio: Hello doctor.
Eric: Hey.
R: *frowns*
Dr. J: Well, I am going to set some ground rules. First off, no yelling, no hitting- nothing childish. Second, we respect everyone's feelings and let everyone speak. Third- we try to change from this, and be a part of this change, with all of you. Ok?
Everyone: *nods*
Dr. J: Ok. I have a game that we're going to play- this is going to start out organized, and we're going to do this through little games, because games make it easier.
E: *smirks*
Dr. J: The first game- we say
one thing that bothers us. This thing can be related to the lab or not, but it has to be something that really does bother you. Then, after each person says something, each other person gives advice on how to solve it, if solvable, and we move on. Got it?
Everyone: *nods*
Dr. J: Great! Alexx, you can go first.
A: *thinks* It bothers me that I see people who have been murdered every day.
Dr. J: Ok. Now, starting with Calleigh and going around, we say something to help solve- or in this case, console the issue.
C: Alexx, I know it's hard. It's hard for all of us. *puts hand on Alexx's shoulder* But, uh...I'm here for you.
R: Yeah, Alexx, I'm here for you too. 100%.
E: Alexx, it's hard, but we are helping people. If that makes it any better.
A: Thank you Eric. It does.
H: Alexx, sweetheart. I'm sorry, I didn't know about this, but if you need to talk to anyone- I'm here.
A: *smiles* Thank you guys. Really.
Dr. J: That was great. Alexx, I hope you see now that any time anything bothers you, your team is here to talk to. Calleigh?
C: Um...it bothers me that...Tim's gone.
Dr. J: Now Alexx...you're first this time.
A:...
Dr. J: Ok, Ryan you go ahead.
R: Cal, I know it's hard, but seriously, I am here if you need any comfort.
E: See, Wolfe, that's it. You remind us he's gone.
C: No he doesn't.
E: Sorry, he reminds
me that Speed's gone. But I'm here for you too Calleigh. I feel the same way.
R: *glares*
E: *glares back*
H: Calleigh, if you need anything I'm here too. We all miss him...*glares at Eric* not because of you, Wolfe, but because he was our friend. *reaches hand out to Calleigh* But Cal, you hang in there.
C: *takes hand* Thanks, Horatio.
Dr. J: See how we can comfort each other? You all miss Tim, and while it's no one's fault that you miss him *looks at Eric* or that's he's gone, he is and you do. Ryan, you're up next.
R: It bothers me that Eric hates me when I'm just trying to do my job.
E: *rolls eyes*
A: He doesn't hate you, baby. He just misses Tim...um, and finds it hard to accept someone new.
C: Ryan, put yourself in Eric's place- in all of our places- and maybe you'll see where he's coming from, even though *looks at Eric* he doesn't have to be so obvious and rude about it.
E: No. Comment.
H: Mr. Wolfe, all I can say is keep doing your job. You're doing great. And *looks at Eric and Ryan* this business of fighting has to stay out of work. We can't interfere with our investigations and cases.
Dr. J: Eric, could you try something for me?
E: What.
Dr. J: Could you try to smile every time you're working with Ryan?
E:...why?
Dr. J: Because it'll make you happy. And then you two will have something to laugh about. Besides- when you're happy, it's hard to be mean to someone, unless you're just a rotton human being- and you're not.
E: Why will smiling make me happy?
Dr. J: Try it.
E: *fake smiles, then chukles*
Dr. J: See?
E: I laughed at myself.
Dr. J: You were happy! You laughed! Just try it, Eric.
R: *smiles*
E: Fine. *rolls eyes*
Dr. J: Alright, Horatio you're up.
H: I, um, can't I pass?
Dr. J: No. I know there are things bothering you- let one out.
H: It bothers me...that...my family- Stetler. He bothers me.
Everyone: *nods, smiles, laughs, agreement, jokes about what to do about Stetler, none appropriate*
E: Amen.
C: Oh yeah. Good thinking Horatio.
R: *smiles* All those asshole feds bother me.
H: Yeah.
E: Uh-huh. I agree with you, Wolfe. First time for everything.
Dr. J: Alright, guys, alright. I understand you don't like Rick Stetler.
H: How...how did you know his first name?
Dr. J: Uh...I'm not allowed to say.
H:...
Dr. J: Anyway, we got through that game Ok. Here's the next game...
Next session: CSI team, second game.
I didn't want to write on and on and on for one post. So this session (an extra long one) is divided by the games. There'll be like 3 or 4 games.
Please share what you think!
