*flashback* Santa Barbara 1992
"Bye Shawn. I'm sorry I'm leaving you with dad but you'll be ok right?" I asked
"Well If I'm dead you'll know why." He replied.
My parents just got a divorce and now I have to go live with mom in Miami across the country from my twin brother. We're so close and I can't believe that our parents are making us split up. They always taught us to stick up for each other and always have each other's backs and now they're splitting us up doing the exact opposite of what they taught us.
"Come on sweetie we need to go." I heard my mom, Maddie say from behind me.
Shawn grabbed my suitcase for me and put it in the back of the cab we were taking to get to the airport.
"If you need anything, or if you get trapped on Alcatraz Island and need me to call in my flying monkeys to come save you just call and I will be right there." Shawn said with that goofy grin he always had plastered on his face.
"Thanks Shawn. Try to visit when you can. And keep me updated on your cop training we both know dad will continue. Oh and –"
"Don't worry Bridg, I know what to do. Call me when your flight lands." My brother said cutting me off from my rant.
"I will, I promise." I said as he enveloped me in a hug.
"Bridget we have to go!" I heard my mom calling from the back of the cab.
"Bye Shawn. Love you! And try not to do anything stupid that makes dad actually kill you."
"No promises." He said before one last hug goodbye.
Santa Barbara 2014 Present day Bridget POV
I couldn't believe I was really back in the city I grew up in with my twin brother and both of my parents. When I left with my mom after the divorce, I hadn't heard from either Shawn or dad since the phone call when we landed in Miami. Mom wanted to get as far away from our old life as possible, but no matter how much I tried to forget my old life, I just couldn't. Shawn and I used to play together for hours, of course Gus was there too. With all of us there it actually made the cop/detective lessons a little more fun. I guess after being gone for so many years I just finally wanted to be able to find a better life where there is actually people who care about me.
Mom left to go travel the world when I turned 18 leaving me on my own. I just kind of wandered wanting a life to live and a place to settle down in. I didn't necessarily want to leave the life I had with my brother but there was no way I was going to go back just to be put through Heck and back again.
As I walked the same streets I used to walk as a kid 22 years later, I realized how little things changed. It was still relatively easy to find my way around and there was even the same diner that Shawn and I would always sneak off to when we just wanted to escape our parents. I wonder if he's still here. Well I'm kinda hungry so I guess I'll just go eat at the diner. Why not right? But I need to find Shawn. But food always comes first I mean I can't live without food.
Ugghh, I really hate my ADD sometimes. That's one thing Shawn and I have in common amongst other things of course, but we just can't focus very well so some of the conversations we had had as kids really made no sense.
When I walked into the diner I automatically sat at the exact same seat at the counter that I'd always sit in when I came with my brother. I noticed that just to my left sat a couple. The women had blonde hair that was just past her shoulders and seemed to be sporting a grey pantsuit with a light pink blouse while the man was wearing jeans and a plaid, button up shirt.
The women seemed to be wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger that happened to look a lot like my grandmother's ring. However, a lot of diamond rings tended to look the similar. Anyways, the women was obviously either engaged or married to the man just to her left who had his back facing her. Ohh! But what's this? The man had a silver wedding band on his left ring finger. They were definitely married. Aww how cute!
I wonder if Shawn ever got married. Or Gus. Ha! I don't think Shawn would actually settle down with someone. He was all over the place dating a different girl every other week it seemed like. If only Shawn were here now. 22 years was a long time to go without having your twin around. It was so weird to go from having a constant best friend with you to just living with your mom.
I decided that I had to eat food before I actually finished my search for Shawn. "I'll have the double deluxe burger with fries and a pineapple smoothie please." I said to the waiter.
While I waited I grabbed the newspaper that was sitting off to the right. The headline read Resident Psychic closes His Detective Agency of 8 years. Psychic? There's no such thing as Psychics! Ha! I decided to keep reading to find out more about this 'Psychic.' The Resident Psychic Detective helped the Santa Barbara Police Department solve over 100 cases in a period of 8 years. The tag team of Shawn Spencer (psychic) and Bruton Gaster (pharmaceutical salesman) are closing their business 'Psych: Private Psychic Detective Agency'.
Shawn and Gus are back in Santa Barbara?! I can't believe this! And Shawn worked with the police and Gus helped him and wow! I have to find them after I eat. What's with the whole psychic thing? I'll ask him when I find him.
She was so engrossed in thoughts of her brother being a psychic and Gus actually helping him that she didn't even hear the man next to her talking to her.
"I'm sorry what was that?" I asked not paying attention to who was talking to me.
"I just said that it's pretty impressive huh?" The man said pointing to the newspaper in my hand.
"Well I guess but who believes that he's actually a psychic?" I asked more to myself than him.
"Everyone actually." As I looked up I came face to face with someone I thought I would never see again. My twin brother Shawn. Even though I hadn't seen him in 22 years, there's no mistaking his hazelish green eyes. They are the same ones I see everyday in the mirror.
"Well except Lassie, he always has his doubts and he's as thick as a rock." Shawn rambled on. I stopped his rant with a hug. I couldn't believe that Shawn Spencer, my twin brother, was actually sitting right here next to me and I didn't even realize it. I was so overjoyed I couldn't even form a sentence, let alone form words.
"Sha – I – what – Jul – wait –" I tried to get out everything I was thinking but my mind was moving way too fast. "What are you doing here? Oh my gosh you've changed so much the last 22 years. Wow I can't believe it's been that long. Is dad here too? How'd you get to be a psychic and how do you know Juliet? Wait… You two are married… when did this happen and why wasn't I invited, Shawn!"
"Well first of all, I moved back 8 years ago hoping to find you here but I didn't I was gonna leave until I got called into the PD because I had called in a tip from watching the news and when I went to get my reward money, they questioned me and when they didn't believe me I came up with the whole psychic thing. Secondly yes dad's still here. And yes it's really been 22 years and I've had no way to get ahold of you. And Finally, I know Jules because she was the Junior Detective for the SBPD and yes we're married. As I mentioned earlier I had no way of contacting you because it's been 22 years since I've last seen/heard from you."
"Wait…" Juliet said from beside Shawn. "Bridget!?" She asked dumbfounded.
"Hey Juliet!"
"Uhh… How do you two know each other?" A very confused Shawn asked looking between Bridget and Juliet.
"I met Bridget when I was in Miami. We were like best friends through the last two years of high school and we went to the academy together. I never heard from her again after I moved to Santa Barbara." Juliet said addressing Shawn's question.
"Wait! You went to the academy?! Bridg I thought we agreed to never go to the academy!"
"Well, when I met Juliet and she talked about how she wanted to be a detective because of her brother Ewan, I thought it would be fun if I had someone to do it with and from all of dad's training I actually graduated 2 years early and I got bored so I just started wandering all over the country calling in tips to get money. When I went back to Miami a few years ago and heard that Juliet transferred to Santa Barbara as a detective, I thought it might actually be worth it to come home. But I was never actually was able to work up the courage to actually come fine you and dad until now."
"So are you two related?" Juliet asked obviously very confused. "I mean you guys look a lot alike, act alike, and did a lot of the same things after school."
"We're twins!" Shawn and I said at the same time.
