It was late in the afternoon on a rainy Tuesday. Adrian Monk and Sharona Flemming were grocery shopping at a local store. Monk complained about this and that as Sharona grabbed things off the shelf right and left.

"Okay, What's next on the list?" Sharona asked with a big sigh

Monk peeked at the list in his left hand

"Five bottles of Sierra Springs," he said following Sharona down to the 'beverage' isle.

Sharona grabbed a six-pack of water

"I only need five," Monk said taking the water and putting it back on the shelf

"But they only come in six, twelve and twenty-four," Sharona said

"Then take one out, I only need one," Monk simply said

"I can't do that"

"Why?"

"Because then we would be paying more for less," Sharona complained

"So tell them we took one out and they'll charge us less," Monk shrugged

"They are not going to change their prices for some quirky guy," Sharona stated

"Why?"

"Because! How bout when we get back I'll drink one of the waters and you'll have five"

Monk shook his head, "No, lets just buy five separate bottles"

"Fine, If that's what you want," Sharona said pushing the cart to the front of the store. She opened the cooler that held the water and cool air hit her face. She grabbed five bottles of water and put them neatly in the cart.

"Thank you," Monk said as they moved along

"What's next?" She asked glancing at a few things on the side

"Mixed vegetables"

The two walked over to the 'frozen food' isle Sharona was about to turn around when she felt a body slam into her

"Oh...excuse me," a mans voice said

"That's...okay" She said turning around to find a tall, handsome guy. He had dark curly hair and blue eyes

"Hi, I'm Sean," he said reaching out his hand

"Sharona," she replied shaking it

"Who's your friend?" he asked peeking behind her

"Oh, that's Adrian Monk, I'm his assistant"

"What do you guys do?" Sean asked

"We're detectives," Monk joined in

"Oh, are you two...dating?"

"What! Are you kidding me...no," Sharona asked laughing. Sean glanced at Monk who now had a sorrowful look on his face.

"Why?" Sharona asked curiously

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to come to dinner with me tomorrow night?"

"I would love to"

"Great, so I'll pick you up at...seven?" he asked grabbing her hand, making her smile

"Okay, here's my address," She said handing him a piece of paper

"Bye," Sharona said pushing her cart away
