Disclaimer: I do not own the current mess that is Chuck. If I did, there wouldn't be these stupid fillers in human form named Shaw and Hannah.
Dreams Can Become Reality
Casey grunted. Sarah smirked. Chuck looked confused and happy. Why you may ask… Well here are a few things you may need to know…
Chuck is no longer the Human Intersect. His father, Stephan Bartowski, built a program to take it out of his head. So now he is free to live his life. Unfortunately for Chuck; he thinks his life is going to be walking out of his life and go off with his former best friend on a whirlwind mission and that he'll never see her again.
Sarah Lisa Walker is a world class spy and Chuck Bartowski's handler. What she wants to be is so much more. Over the past year or so she has grown fond of her asset. Now said asset is free from government control; which means they can be together. She had the chance to go off on another mission; but what she really wants is to be with Chuck.
John Casey is a United States Marine who is a part of the NSA. He was assigned to protect this bumbling human because of what he had in his head. He thought he would have no problems if he ever got orders to kill said bumbling idiot; but over time Chuck got under his skin and he comes to appreciate him. He still gets sick over watching Walker and Bartowski dance around their lady-feelings. He has contemplated either locking them in a closed room with no bugs or just shooting them.
Below the Orange Orange, in Castle, Casey looks over at Chuck sitting on the table, "Hey moron, shouldn't you be happy? That thing is out of your head and your free to go. No kill order either, which slightly disappoints me…"
Chuck just looked at Casey. "Thanks I suppose. You know you're going to miss me big guy," Casey had received orders to go to D.C. for a de-briefing over this long term assignment.
"Don't push your luck Bartowski… Now you're just a civilian, no more government secrets in your head therefore you are no longer valuable to me. And I've been itching to try out Bessie." Casey gives a wicked smile.
"Bessie…" Chuck chokes out "You named your new gun Bessie?" Chuck just breaks down laughing. Casey grunts and walks into the armory. Chuck saw where he went and scrambles up and out of Castle into the Orange Orange. Sarah walks in and sees Chuck's slightly panicked face.
"What did you do to him now?" Sarah asked.
"Why is it always me doing something? Don't you ever think he could be the one that starts it?" At her pointed look. "Okay fine, I laughed at him for naming his gun Bessie… Happy?"
Sarah just shook her head and smiled. "Chuck, you just don't know when to stop pushing Casey's buttons do you?"
"It's become a favorite pastime of mine, that's how I get my daily adrenaline rush, but before I knew I was protected with the… you know…" Chuck rattled off.
"About that Chuck… You know they are going to reassign us now that you no longer need protection." Sarah stated. Chuck got a sad look on his face but quickly covered it.
"Yeah, I know…at least, I was expecting it." Chuck said looking down. Sarah walked over to him and laid her hand on his arm. He looked up at her and realized they were a lot closer. He began to lean down when Casey walked in.
"Enough with the lady-feelings Bartowski… Walker, Beckman wants to see you and the moron down in Castle asap," Casey said before walking back downstairs.
"Come on Chuck…" Sarah said pulling back from him and following after Casey.
"Yeah, sure…not like we had a moment going or anything…"Chuck said before going after her. After they are all down there Beckman appears on the screen.
"Good evening agents and Barowski. I hope this is the last time we will be seeing you Chuck…"
"Umm… Thank you I guess. "Chuck said.
"Agent Walker, I have taken into consideration what we discussed for your next assignment…" she started.
"Excuse me General, but do I really have to be here." Chuck interrupted, " I mean, I'm sure the details of Sa- Agent Walker and Colonel Casey's next assignments are classified so I should probably not hear about them right?"
Beckman nodded, "Very well. You may wait outside for Walker and Casey. Your country thanks you Bartowski and you will find a generous sum in your accounts for your services."
Chuck was stunned, "Thank you General," he nodded to Casey and to Sarah lingering a bit longer on her and then left Castle to go upstairs.
Beckman continued, "I agree with your assessment that Bartowski may be in danger still even though he is no longer the Intersect. However, if you think for one moment that I am fooled by your true reasons for wanting this assignment, you are sadly mistaken."
Now it was Sarah's turn to be stunned, "Excuse me General?"
Beckman spoke again, "I am hereby ordering you to be assigned to protection detail full time, but also terminating your contract with the CIA. Congratulations Walker, you are no longer an agent. Now as far as behind the scenes, you are still required to keep up your training. I wouldn't want you getting lax in your skills because I know you want to protect Bartowski. So two weekends a month, both you and Bartowski, are required to attended the local training regiment nearby. Bartowski needs to be able to protect himself too, heaven forbid something ever happen to you
Now Sarah was practically speechless, "Th-thank you General."
Beckman turned to Casey, "Colonel Casey, you still haven't given notice of the assignment you would like to take. I have sent you several options. Have you made your choice?"
Casey turned to Walker before looking back at Beckman, "Yes General I have. I chose to stay here on protection detail for Bartowski."
Sarah and Beckman both looked shocked. Sarah recover quicker and said, "I thought you wanted to get away from Chuck as soon as possible,"
"The moron grew on me… and if you ever tell him that. I'll enroll him in seduction classes with all brunettes." Casey threatened. Sarah's eyes turned into ice but she didn't say or do anything.
"Very well, Colonel Casey… Would you like to retire as well?" Beckman asked.
"General, I have served my country countless times over. I love this country, but I want to experience what this country has to offer now. Maybe I'll even see what the American Dream is all about." Casey spoke honestly and from his heart.
Sarah whispered, "I knew you wanted that!" Casey just grunted.
"Well, you have your final orders. It has been a pleasure knowing you both and you all did a fine job serving this country. The both of you will find a substantial amount in your accounts for your services and as thanks from the government. Goodbye Walker and Casey." Beckman gave a small smile before the screen went black.
Sarah turned to Casey and went to speak, but he interrupted her, "Save the lady-feelings for Bartowski. He's probably waiting up there pacing and waiting for you." Casey walked into the armory to collect his personal effects. Sarah just smiled at him and walked up the stairs into the Orange Orange. Chuck spotted her and gave her a half-smile.
"So how long do you have?" Chuck asked?
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked playing dumb, inside she was smiling.
"Ya know… When do you have to leave here for your next assignment?" Chuck asked.
"Oh, well my next assignment starts immediately." Sarah told him. Her heart fell at the sad look he got.
"So I guess this is good-bye then…" Chuck stated sadly.
As Sarah was about to respond Casey came out and said, "Why don't you just put the moron out of his misery Walker. He's starting to make me feel all gloom and doom."
Chuck looked confused, "What is Casey talking about Sarah?"
Sarah then smiled for the first time, "What would you say if I were to tell you that You are my next assignment?"
Chuck stuttered, "B-but… How? I'm…I'm no longer the Intersect."
"Well, you still need protection from all of those who have come in contact with you…and I want to stay here with you Chuck…" Sarah admitted.
Chuck then smiled that full Bartowski smile. "Does this mean what I think it means Sarah?"
Sarah then looked vulnerable, "What do you want this to mean Chuck?"
Chuck went to Sarah and pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear, "I love you Sarah Lisa Walker. Want to move in together?" When he pulled back he saw Sarah smile again.
"I love you too Charles Irving Bartowski and yes I would love to move in with you" Sarah said with a watery smile before pulling him down for a kiss. Casey just stood on the other side of the counter and grunted.
When they pulled apart Chuck picked up Sarah and spun her around both of them were laughing. Casey grunted, shook his head, and walked out the door. Chuck put Sarah down, "So we are really doing this?" She smiled and nodded her head. "You do realize that Ellie is probably going to make us go deaf and hug us to death. Plus you'll have to put up with my collections and Tron poster."
"I can deal with Ellie being excited. We'll talk about your nerd stuff later," Sarah said and before he could get offended she pulled him down for another kiss, this one being more passionate than any other kiss they've shared. Pulling away she laughed at the goofy smile on Chuck's face. "Let's go back to my apartment and finish what we started in Barstow," she said with a wink and walking towards the door. She laughed when he shook his head and scrambled to catch up with her and when he scooped her up in his arms she smiled contentedly.
"Dreams can become reality," Chuck said as they got into Sarah's Porsche and drove off. Sometime the next day it was said that seismic sound waves were reported coming from somewhere in Burbank. Some even said it sounded like a high pitch scream.
