So, this should probably be called Ghosts of Future Eras, but I wanted to allude to A Christmas Carol with its "Ghost of Christmas Past" thing...
Essentially, this is playing with the moment Calleigh and Eric meet in 1997 (as seen in season 8's Out Of Time) I wanted her to see different versions of herself from the series... each teaches her something about her future "history" with the man she eventually dates (season 7).
There is the one I call Horny Calleigh. She is the one from Wet Foot Dry Foot (Season 1) which is the episode where Eric asks if he can crash at her place after there's a case stirring up his neighborhood. She told him, "On the couch, no midnight tiptoe, deal?" but this version of her is annoyed that now he's on her couch and she can't do anything about it without breaking her own rule...
There's Sad Calleigh who is dealing with the events of the season 5 episodes, No Man's Land and Man Down where Eric gets shot in the head and almost dies. We know that later in season 5, she begins to help him, and flirt...
Then we have The Sick One AKA: Hospital Gown Calleigh from the episode Smoke Gets in Your CSI's (season 7) who finally hears the words she needs to hear from her best friend and love interest, Eric.
Next, The Regretful One. (Season 8: In the Wind) The one that is trying to pretend that she's not still in a relationship with Eric after some unfortunate incidents happen that try to tear them apart. Maybe it's guilt? But the passion is still there, so what's the deal?
I also have an Eric version which I will post here. I also have to mention that this story inspired another which I think I'm almost finished with.
