Prologue


"Sherlock", John starts tentatively, "I've been thinking"

"What?" Sherlock replies, not looking away from the laptop screen in front of him.

"You know how last week we were talking about the solar system…"

"Oh not this again, we've been through this already" Sherlock complains, rolling his eyes.

"It's not that, well, it is, it's just, you said you only remember what you need to… so, how did you know the poem 'round and round the garden'? It's just, that's not exactly ground breaking, is it? It's a kids song" John asks slowly, watching for a reaction.

Sherlock stops suddenly, the slightest flinch in his neck, before turning to John, looking as though he is trying to determine some sinister reason for John's sudden interest in this. "No reason" he replies, closing the laptop, walking towards the door and picking up his coat and scarf. "Just a piece of useless information I seem to have forgotten to delete" and with that he walks down the stairs and out of the apartment.

John shakes his head, alright, so you don't want to talk about it, fine. But there is definitely more to this, he thinks to himself as he sits down and takes a sip of his now cold tea.


A/N: Ok, so this is just the prologue, I'm not making any promises as to when a new chapter will be up, but if you want more, reviews are the only way I'll find out!

The rest of this story is based after season two (not taking into account season three, just going with the theory eventually after all the Moriarty stuff is over, John and Sherlock go back to every day life).

Hope you enjoy, and yes, I realize this author's note is becoming almost as long as the chapter itself, the real chapters will be longer (around ten times as long as this), only the prologue is this short.
