This is the first time I ever tried to write anything that wasn't humorous
or a parody of some sort. Let me know how shitty it is. Lol
This is set after the episode when Shawn discovers he doesn't know who his real mother is. It's the end of Alan's birthday party, and all the excitement has pretty much died down Things are more or less normal.
**********************************
It had been a long and trying night for everyone, Shawn most of all. After his return to the Matthew's house, and the treat of having Alan yell at him like he was part of the family, he felt sobered up and actually content. He sat next to Cory on the couch, talking and joking just like the good old days. They were currently engrossed in a conversation that held much interest for Shawn.
"So.you seriously have never thought of growing your hair out or straightening it? Nothing?!?" Shawn asked.
"No.why, do you think I should? I mean, I just always assumed being the brillo-headed kid was part of my charm. It got me a beautiful wife, didn't it?" He beamed at Topanga, who was standing next to the armchair chatting with Angela.
She smiled weakly and rolled her eyes. "Cory, I love you, you know that. Does it really matter what your hair looks like?"
"See, Shawn, does it really matter.or more importantly, is it even possible? I wonder."
"See now you've got him thinking, and that's not always a good thing. We could be here for hours and I'm tired Shawn. I would like to take my curly headed freak of nature husband home to bed." Topanga yawned widely.
"Yeah, it's getting pretty late, and I can think of at least one present I haven't gotten yet." Alan trailed off, sneaking up behind his wife and planting a kiss on her cheek.
Angela rose from the chair "Yeah, Shawn, I think we better get going too. The Matthews may want some privacy."
Eric and Jack were in the kitchen eating what remained of his dad's birthday cake. They re-entered the living room wiping crumbs from various places.
"So, what, is it over already? Well, come on Jack. You can take me to the store.what do ponies eat anyway?" Eric walked over and gave his dad a quick hug. "Seriously, how fond are you of Morgan?" Alan exchanged a puzzled look with Amy and shrugged his shoulders as if to say "its Eric, probably netter not to ask".
It seems everyone was ready to call it an evening, except Cory. He hadn't been this excited in awhile. It wasn't just the hair; it was the thought of a whole new image. He was still a newlywed, but considering he and Topanga had such a long history together he felt they might still be in a rut. He looked over at Shawn and raised his brow. "Methinks there is much work to do tonight. Mwah ha haa!" "I definitely don't like the sound of that." Topanga sounded concerned.
Shawn had a brilliant idea. "You guys go on ahead. I think me and Cor need some male bonding time."
"Male bonding time doesn't usually involve hair care products does it?" Eric chimed in.
"Oh, this coming from a son who almost put us in the poor house with all his conditioning?" Any said, crossing her arms.
"Yeah.well.nobody likes split ends, do they?!?" Eric cried and rushed out the door. Jack laughed and followed, still wondering how he could live with this guy.
Topanga gathered her things from beside the couch and took Cory aside. "If you really think this is something you want to do Cory, then be my guest. I, on the other hand, will be at home asleep. I know lately Shawn has felt like he lost his best friend, and I don't want to ever be the cause of you two growing apart. You guys were the best friends I ever had and I understand you two better than anyone. So have your fun, you know where I'll be." She kissed him gently and strode toward the door. Angela grabbed her things, said her goodbyes to Shawn, and followed Topanga out.
"If you guys are wanting a place to make trouble, I guess you could borrow Cory and Eric's old room for the night. Just try not to do anything too stupid. Now, if you'll excuse us, the missus and I are retiring for the night." He playfully pinched Amy's backside and chased her upstairs.
The two boys were left alone in the living room, and Shawn started to wonder what would happened next.
"I know you, Matthews, and you're planning something big, aren't you?"
"Oh, yeah, look out world! Cory and Shawn strike again! Mwahh haa haaah!" Cory said as he practically pulled Shawn upstairs with him.
