*RPG style. Anyone can join in. Have fun!*
Doreen Messer hurried over to the table to spread out some napkins. She's having a party in her apartment and she invited everyone in the CSI. The party was just for fun. A little get together where, for once, they get to talk to each other as real people, not CSIs.
She overlooked the table. Food such as fried chicken, lasagna, salad and other stuff was laid neatly on the table. There was music playing in the background. She then glanced down at her outfit for the night. Jeans and a vintage tee. "Looks OK,"she thought.
Suddenly the doorbell rang and she went to answer it.

Luke was searching for Doreen's appartment, flowers in his hand. He was kind of hoping that he wouldn't be the first one there, to avoid any uncomfortable moments between the two of them. Luke and Doreen have no problems being around each other, but sometimes it is like they are so close, that they could only get closer. But he decided not to worry about that this tonight.
Luke knocked on the door. "Hello". He gave Doreen the flowers: "For you." She said that she thought they were beautiful. Luke looked at the full table. "Wow, this all looks great! Nice appartment, by the way."

"Thanks," she said, smiling. "The flowers are beautiful. I'm gonna go put them in a vase. Make yourself at home."
She put the flowers in a vase and put them on the table next to her TV. Luke was watching some sports show. As she sat on the couch, she waited for her other guests to arrive. She's hoping that they would come faster. She never had this problem with Luke before. Usually they were always comfortable with each other but for the past few days, she felt that their relationship has gotten more complicated.
"Want anything to drink?" she asked Luke. "Beer? Coke?"
Luke said that beer would be fine. So Doreen went to her fridge and got out a can of beer for Luke and a can of coke for herself.

Doreen gave Luke his beer. "Thanks. I'm kind of anti-social, aren't I? Watching tv when you invited me here to have a good time." Luke put the tv off. And what he didn't want to happen happened: The uncomfortabl silence. Why is this happening? It's never been like this before. Slowly Luke tried to start a conversation: "So eh, you closed the Henderson case?" Jeez, he thought, why did I have to bring up something about work?

"Er, yeah I did," said Doreen. "With your help, of course," she added, smiling.
She drank the last of her coke and walked to the kitchen to throw the can away.
"Hungry?" she asked. "You can start with the food first if you want. I have a feeling the rest will show up pretty soon."

"Allright", Luke said, "I am quite hungry". He took a seat at the dinner table and put some lasagna on his plate.

Doreen was glad that when Luke got up to sit at the dinner table. As he ate away, she looked outside the window to see if any of her other party guests were arriving. Luke asked her if she would join her.
"Oh God," she said, smiling. "I'm the host of the party and yet you're inviting me to join you. Sure."

Sheldon sat in his car, trying to decide whether or not to go to the party. He wasn't that into parties, hadn't been during college either. Not that he could, he had graduated when he was eighteen. Finally, he decided that there was nothing else to do and started the car.
When he reached Doreen's apartment, he noticed that Luke's car was already in the parking lot, and he smiled. Good, I'm not the first one here! He thought to himself. He got out of his car and made his way up to Doreen's door.
He paused for a second, and then knocked.

Doreen heard the knock and went over to answer it. Sheldon stood there at the door.
"Sheldon!" greeted Doreen, glad that at least she and Luke won't have uncomfortable silences. "Come on in. Luke's already here so you might as well start on the food too."
Sheldon said thanks for inviting him and entered the apartment.

"Hey, Versteeg," Sheldon said, waving at Luke as he walked it. He flashed Doreen a small smile, and then went to look over the selection of food.
He grabbed a plate and loaded it with fried chicken and salad, skipping over the lasagna for the moment. He sat down next to luke and began to eat.
"Hey, Doreen. It's your partry, aren't you gonna eat?" he joked.

Doreen smiled at him. "Yeah, sure. Besides, I can't wait for the others already. I'm very hungry now."
She took a chair across Sheldon and piled her plate with lasagna; she loves Italian food. Luke and Sheldon stared at the huge piece of lasagna on her plate. Doreen smiled at them.
"What? I'm hungry, ok?" she said, laughed and then begun eating.

Sheldon laughed and dug into his own meal. It wasn't like he could talk, anyway. His plate was loaded with food, and he was planning on seconds. He bit into some of the chicken, and smiled.
"This chicken is great, Doreen," he said after swallowing. "Hey, what've you got to drink?"

(ooc: Our characters seem to always end up in the same threads, lol)
"I'll take a... coke." Sheldon said. He smiled and returned to his chicken.

*Yeah, our characters are always in the same thread, esp you, Luke and mine*
"OK, I'll get that for you," said Doreen. She walked to the fridge, peered into it and saw that it was the last can of coke. She was planning on having coke too but decided to let Sheldon have it. She settled on orange juice.
"Here you go," she said, passing him the red can.
