Hi Psych Fans!

This is my first Psych fanfic, so I would appreciate some criticism after you have done reading this.

Like all Psych episodes, my fic will start with a flashback to Shawn's childhood (which explains the reason why this chapter is so short). The story will start on Chapter 2, which shall be uploaded next week, I just wanted to try writing a flashback.

Enjoy reading it!

Too Smart For Your Own Good

1985

Henry sits in the living room reading a magazine. He hears the door opening and sees Shawn sneaking into the house out of the corner of his eye. He figures he should put him out of his misery after he sees him tiptoeing up the stairs.

"Shawn, I know your there!" Henry yelled, putting the magazine on the near by table.

Shawn slowly walked into the room. "Hi Dad."

"I got an interesting phone call today."

"You did?"

"Yes I did, from your school."

"My school? Why would they call?"

"They called to make sure that you made it home okay after they sent you home for feeling sick. Now here is the thing" he said, standing up. "That phone call was made at 12 o'clock and it is now 3:30 and I don't recall you coming home in between those hours and you don't even look sick to me."

"So...?"

"So, my question is if you didn't come home, which you obviously didn't, where were you Shawn?"

"Well, I..." Shawn started to say.

"You know what? Let me guess where you were. You were at that funfair."

"What funfair?" Shawn asked, trying to sound innocent.

"You know what I'm talking about. That funfair I said that I wouldn't take you to because you were grounded for shooting you BB gun at the pigeons."

"How did you know?"

"Well, I can see bits of cotton candy stuck to your face and I can practically smell the vomit on you from when you threw up on yourself after you came off one of the rides."

"I didn't vomit on myself, it was Gus that did it."

"So Gus was with you?"

"Yes, he was. But it was his idea!"

"It was his idea to vomit on you?"

"No, it was his idea to go to the funfair in the first place."

"Shawn, do you really expect me to believe that Gus convinced you to skip school and that he dragged you to the funfair?"

After some hesitation, Shawn said "Yes."

"Really Shawn?"

"Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it."

Henry sighs and walks over to him. "Listen, if your going to lie to me, at least make your lies believable."

"So, you want me to lie to you?"

"Ideally no, but you tell such sucky lies son. Now, about your punishment..."

"Well technically, I'm already being punished for the BB gun thing so should I really have another punishment?"

"You've got a point, but let me put it this way. Your punishment now is being grounded for a month, right?"

Shawn nods his head.

"Well now your punishment is now being extended to three months."

"But that's not fair!"

"You should have thought about that before you skipped school. Now go up stairs to your room."

Shawn sulks and stomps his way out of the room.

"Shawn, wait" Henry called after him.

Shawn stopped in his tracks. "Yeah, Dad?"

"Take a bath to wash the smell of vomit off of you and then go to your room."

I wasn't sure how to end it, so I just ended it after that sentence. I hope you have enjoyed reading this and I promise the next chapter will be longer (and also not a flashback).

Hopefully you have found this interesting, if not I obviously need to learn how to write better.

I couldn't remember the right year for the flashbacks so if it is wrong, I'm sorry. Warning: future chapters (and probably this one) will have continuity issues and the characters will most likely be OOC. I'm warning you now because it will probably come up later on.

Please review this (nice/constructive reviews only please, if you are rude I will block you) and check out my Futurama stories.

Bye!
