"Ok, Shawn. What's up? You've never sounded this tense before. What's goin' on?" Gus asked his best friend, who was pacing back and forth quite angrily in the office.

Shawn had been calling and calling Gus for the last 15 minutes begging him to meet him at the Psych office because he needed, as Shawn put it 'To vent to someone' and when Gus asked why he couldn't just tell him over the phone Shawn just said, 'Dude, it's not the same! I gotta vent to a person in . . . person!' Gus finally gave in, and drove over.

Shawn stopped pacing turned his gaze to the window, "I just found out . . ." he began, "I--I just found out . . . that I have a young half-sister, Ok? She'll be here tomorrow."

Gus couldn't believe his ears.

"Your tellin' me that your now a brother?" Gus said

Shawn nodded and sighed, "Yea. I guess after mom moved she got remarried and now has an 18 year old girl that I didn't know anything about until 20 minutes ago when mom called with the happy news." he said, his voice getting more and more frustrated as he spoke. Gus noticed this and tried to calm Shawn down, "Shawn, you're getting upset. Just try and sit down, cool off a little . . ."

"Cool off??!" Shawn shouted, "I just found out that I have a sister that had no idea about for 18 years and you want me to cool off??"

"Shawn, you need to calm down." Gus said firmly.

Shawn closed his eyes and nodded, "Sorry, Gus. I didn't mean to take it out on you like that. I mean, I know I haven't talked to mom since she . . . she walked out on me and dad. So after all these years, she has the nerve to just out of the blue call me up, tell me I have a sister, and then ask me if I can watch her!! the girl is on her way here!?"

Gus bit his lip, "Are you gonna do it?" he asked

"Well I have to now, she's gonna be here tomorrow morning." Shawn replied

"What's her name?"

"Arizona."

"Arizona? I wonder why your mom named her Arizona." Gus said with a perplexed look on his face

Shawn shrugged, "Because that's where mom was living when she got remarried and had her." Gus shook his head, "I still can't believe this. You have a sister."

"Ok, realistically, half-sister . . . and neither can I. Dude! This is like the third season of 'Lost', which makes her Emilie de Ravin and me Matthew Fox."

Gus rolled his eyes, "Man, you are way to obsessed with that show."

"Come on, who isn't, Gus?" Shawn said, "Besides I remember you squealing when you saw the part in the season 3 finale when you find out the Locke didn't die. Which I knew the whole time."

Gus glared at him, "You knew? How did you did you know?"

"Oh come on Gus. Kill Locke off? After all the other crap he's lived through on that Island? Please. But now we're getting off the original subject . . . I don't even know how to act as a brother." He said, running a hand through his hair.

"There's no real way to act as a brother, just be yourself." Gus said

"Oh, yea! Like you would know." Shawn said plopping down in his 'Magic, Springy, Bounce-up, Chair' (that he bought on E-bay after he had sat in Chief Vick's)

"Yea, Shawn. I would know, I did a Big Brother program after we graduated."

Shawn face looked like a mix between bewildered and hurt, "Dude, how come I never knew that?"

"I've told you before Shawn, there are things you don't know about me."

"But I'm your best friend, I'm supposed to know everything about you!"

"You didn't know about the Spit-ball incident in school."

Shawn grimaced, "I still can't believe that was you, that's just . . . insane."

Gus simply snickered and started on some paperwork.

2:00 P.M. the next day . . .

Arizona was a little nervous about meeting her brother for the first time in 18 years. She drove down the street in her midnight blue, Harley Davidson Chopper Motorcycle, when she thought up a plan to see just how good her brother was at playing Psychic.

She slowed down her bike as the big, green 'Psych' window came into view, and pulled into the parking lot. She turned off her bike, pulled off her helmet, and began walking towards the front door.

Shawn was fidgeting in his chair nervously, when the bike pulled up, "Dude," he said to Gus, "do you know anyone with a bike like that?" he asked as him and Gus both walked to the window.

"No." Gus replied, "I wonder who he is."

"Uh, I don't think that's a he." Shawn said as the girl pulled off her helmet and began walking towards the door.

"A girl? Owns that?! Man! I've never seen a bike that beautiful before!"

"Tell me about it. Oop! She comin' in! Quick! Act normal!" he said as the pair rushed to their chairs and attempted to look normal, while the girl walked in the office.

The girl poked her head through and knocked on the door, "Hi. Is it ok if I come in? I just saw your want-ad in the paper and thought I'd come and offer my services."

"Of course!" Shawn said, "Please, come in and have a seat in our wonderful chairs."

"Thanks." she said, pulling off the bag that was slung across her shoulder and plopping them down on the floor along with her helmet. After she did that, she crashed sideways on a chair, "Oh . . . nice chairs!" she said

Shawn thought. He then held out his hand to her, "Well, my name is Shawn Spencer, I am the Psychic here, and this is my partner, Burton Guster."

She stood up from the chair and shook their hands, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Ari."

"So, you wanted to apply for the secretary job, right?" Gus asked her

"Uh no. Actually I was hoping to have a . . . Psychic job." she replied

"What do you mean? Are you Psychic?" Shawn asked

"Well, I do have the abilities." she replied.

Gus was slightly perplexed, "Would you care to give us a demonstration?" he asked warily

"Sure, no problem." she answered cooly. She closed her eyes and placed one hand on the side of her head, and the other she stretched out in front of her. "I'm getting . . . you two are best friends, and have been practically since birth. Mr. Guster, I'm sensing your work . . . you, you work for a-a" she took a sharp intake of breath, "I'm seeing drugs . . . and meeting places, but nothing illegal, no. A Pharmaceutical Company! Am I right?"

Gus nodded, trying not to act surprised, "Yea. Yea that's right."

The girl smiled and focused on Shawn, "About you, Mr. Spencer, you have been evicted from your apartments more than once. You also care a lot about your appearance, but I know you don't do it for yourself it's for the ladies. I would say you spend at least 20 minutes on your hair alone."

Gus looked at Shawn, "Do you really spend 20 minutes on your hair?" he asked

"No!" Shawn said defensively, "It's actually 19½ ."

"Uh, so, do I get the job?" she asked, stopping the two from arguing any further.

"Let me confer with my partner in private for a moment." Shawn said, pulling Gus aside, "Dude! This girl's good! I think I like her way of working."

"She is good, I doubt she's really psychic though." Gus said

Shawn shook his head, "No way. I think we should hire her."

"Whatever Shawn." Gus replied

Shawn turned back around, "Alright, you have the job, Ari."

"Sweet! Oh-Oh! We can all be like on Pirates of the Caribbean! That would make me Elizabeth, you Jack, and Gus, Will! Oh, I hope you don't mind me calling you Gus."

"'Course not! You made me Will!" he said with a broad smile, and a smirk in Shawn direction.

"Aw, why do I have to be Jack?" Shawn complained, "That's not fair."

The girl chuckled, "Because you're my . . . ya know Shawn, for being as good as you are, I'm very surprised you haven't figured out who I am by now."

Shawn and Gus looked at each other, "What do you mean?" they asked in unison

"Oh Shawn! Please!" She stood in directly in front of Shawn, "Take a good look at me, who do I look like? Come on, Hazel eyes, I said my name was ARI."

"Y-your Arizona." he said, completely shocked that he had missed that.

Arizona spread her arms out side "Bingo!! We have a winner!!" she said with a smile

"H-how did I . . . How could I have missed . . .?" he stuttered, "I-I guess I thought you'd look a little different."

There was an awkward silence, and Shawn really didn't know what to do.

Arizona shook her head, "Just give me a hug Shawn." she said throwing her arms around him

Shawn grunted at the sudden shock of the hug. For a moment, he just stood there, but then awkwardly put his arms around his half-sister and hugged her back.

As they pulled away from each other, Arizona looked at him, smiled and said, "Hi Shawn."
