Title: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something... Murdered?
Disclaimer: Not mine. Not enough close. Just having some fun over here.
Spoilers - Brief mentioning of things from the following episodes: American Duos, Forget Me Not, Black & Tan: A Crime of Fashion, Rob-a-bye Baby.
Just a short little teaser to entice you... and to distract me while I wait for my season 2 dvds to be delivered and the 3rd season to start. Also, limits the length of the story title... very sad.
Shawn was bouncing around with far more energy than Gus thought one routine phone call from the Chief of Police could ever warrant. 'Pun intended,' Gus added thoughtfully to himself.
"I take it we have a case?" Gus asked casually.
Shawn paused momentarily in his bouncing to regard Gus before continuing his bizarre hopping dance.
"The Chief," he said, barely containing his excitement. "Wants us," he continued with dramatic, well-timed pauses between his words. "To go undercover!" he yelped in glee at the revelation, looking expectantly at Gus. Shawn's eyebrows furrowed in confusion when Gus's stoic expression failed to turn to one of excitement.
"What's the case?" Gus asked simply.
"What's the case?" Shawn repeated incredulously. "What's the ca- does it matter? We get to go undercover. You know, code names and wigs and synchronized watches!"
Gus rolled his eyes at Shawn's exuberance. "Shawn, I hate to break it to you, but we've been undercover. Remember 'American Duos'? Or when you made me deliver a baby warthog? What about my birthday, when we were Black and Tan? Or the time you claimed we were lost hikers who drank our own urine?" Gus took a breath and cocked his head to the side. "Come to think of it, Shawn, we're undercover all the time. Especially you, Mr. Psychic."
Shawn was undeterred.
"This is different," he insisted, grabbing the keys to the Psychmobile from the corner of Gus's desk.
"How? How is this different?" Gus demanded.
Shawn met his skeptic gaze with a broad grin.
"Because this time I get to marry Juliet!" Shawn practically shouted in glee before bounding out of the office.
Gus stared after him for a moment. Once he recovered from the surprise, he stood. "Shawn!" he yelled, though Shawn was no doubt already in the car. "That's not different at all! You've already been married to Juliet!" Gus grabbed his sample case from next to his desk -- though it looked like finishing today's route wasn't going to happen, as usual -- and hurried out the door after his friend. "Shawn!" he yelled. "Remember the nannies?"
