*Olivia's POV*

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! First day of work...here we go. I got up out of my bed slowly. I was very excited that my dream of being a detective in then Manhattan SVU Department was finally coming true. But, i was scared because being a detective that investigates rape, not a very womanly job. I hope my partner isn't a complete asshole like Josh was. He was always so rude and nasty towards me just because he thought that a woman should not be allowed to be a cop. He was so full of himself. It was funny though. Everyone always told me that i was a better cop then him. I don't think he really hated me, i bet he envied me. I pulled my jeans on with a pink adn white striped long-sleeve shirt. I tucked my shirt in, not sure of what was ahead of me later on in the day. When i was done getting dressed, i decided to go eat something before i put my make-up on and brushed my teeth so i wouldn't get food in my teeth and my lipstick wouldn't smudge. I really wasn't that hungry but i figured that if i was to go out on call today, i would need my energy. I ate a small bowl of cereal. When i was finished eating breakfast, i put my bowl in the sink adn went into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. When i was done brushing my teeth, i decided to put on a nude-ish bage color eyeshadow on. I didn't want to make a bad impression by walking in there looking like a rainbow. I put mascara and eye-liner on. I put on a light pink lipstick with a sparkly lip-gloss overcoat. Making sure i looked good for the day, i brushed my just past the shoulder, brown hair. I decided to leave it down because it was a little too short to put up in a ponytail. I pulled on a pair of sneakers, grabbed my coat and keys from the table, locked the door, got into my car, and was off for my first day.

*Third Person*

As she walked towards the squadroom, she thought she heard some familiar voices. No, it couldn't be them. She hadn't seen them in God knows how long. Whatever. She kept walking. As soon as she came into view of her now co-workers, she stopped. "Olivia Benson?" asked a blonde. "Alex Cabot?" she looked very shocked. "That's me last time i checked!" "Oh my God! Imissed you so much. I thought we were never going to see eachother again!" "Neither did i!" the girls greeted eachother. Alex introduced her to John Munch, Casey Novak, and Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola. Coming out of the men's bathroom, it was him. She was right! It was Elliot Stabler. "Shit!" she whispered. "What is it?" asked Alex. Olivia pointed at him. Alex's jaw dropped. "Isn't he-" "Yep. Elliot Stabler. My lover for 3 years. My ex that i can't stop thinking about." Elliot started walking towards his desk. "Uh-oh." said Alex. "What?" "He's the one that's waiting for a new partner." "Oh God!"

"Benson, Stabler. My office." said Captain Cragen from his office door. Olvia dreaded that. Why would he call them in together? She could've asked him for a new partner if she went into the office alone. Maybe she should leave. Transfer to somewhere else. No. She wouldn't. She has been waiting for this job for a long time and she wasn't gonna let HIM ruin it. Now that she was looking at him, she thinked she kinda had another giddy crush on him again. "What the hell, Olivia? You are here to work! Not to flirt!" "But-" "No buts Miss Benson! Get into that office and do what you gotta do!" she fought with herself. Her hand grabbed the doorknob. "It's now or never." said Elliot as he opened the door for her. She just rolled her eyes at him. "Same Miss Benson. You haven't changed, have you?" "I guess not. You haven't either i see. Still as annoying." she smirked. They walked into the captain's office. "Stabler, this is Olivia Benson-" "Yeah. I know. We have uh-" "History." Olivia finished. "Oh, well then. Anyways, Elliot, Olivia is your new partner. Show her the ropes. Olivia, the empty desk across his is yours." "Thanks Capt. Elliot or Alex will show me around." "Good luck!" and with that, they were on their way out of the Captain's office.

Elliot showed Olivia around the precint. He showed her the interrigation rooms, the cribs, her desk, the rest of the building, and the offices of Alex and Casey. On the way up to the lockers, it was awkwardly quiet. Elliot led her up the stairs to the lounge, past the plounge, and straight into the locker room. "So, how are you? Haven't seen you in a while." Elliot said almost sounding a little embarrased. "I'm fine. Still breaking hearts?" "Nope. Haven't gone out with anyone." "Really? Elliot Stabler single for more than a decade? Wow." "Yeah. anyways, who's your lucky guy?" "Isn't one. Kinda.." she sighed "Nevermind." "What?" "It's just, i thought i wasn't gonna see you again and we were over for good." "You think we were over forever?" "Well, yeah. I mean, we broke up. You got with Kathy." "That doesn't mean anything." "Yes it does. I couldn't have you if she took you from me. You gave me up for her. Must've been something special. You guys still toether?" "No! Couldn't take her anymore. She got too annoying." "I guess." "What?" "Hmm? Oh, nevermind. It's nothing. Just thinking." "You're lying." "How the hell do you think that?" "I told you, you haven't changed. Your nose just turned red." "Wow. Stalker much?" "Nope. Just love." What?" "Uh. I said that outloud didn't I?" "Yeah. You just did. What do you mean, 'Just love.'?" "Oh. Well, yoiu never left my mind. I left Kathy because i never liked her. I went out with her trying to get you out of my mind. But, it didn't work. You were and still are always there." "Same here, El." "Really?" "Yeah. You never left my mind. I still have the dog chains." Elliot pulled the chain out of his shirt. "So do i." he smiled. "Same here." she blushed as she took the chain out from under her shirt and let it fall over her heart. "Why did you keep it all this time?" he asked. "So i would always have you with me." she smiled. "So did i." "You know, we don't have to be over forever." "Oh really?" "Yes really." he put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. "I love you." "I love you, too." she tilted her head up to look at him in his blue eyes and he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. She returned the kiss, passionately. "We should go before they come looking for us." she giggled. "Olivia? Giggling? Damn! I must be magical!" "Very funny, Stabler!" "I know. C'mon. Let's go." he said as they walked down the stairs to their desks hand in hand.
