A/N: Hello everyone. I was inspired to write this from something in ThereIsAnother's Sarah vs. The True Friendship-story. This take place when Bryce returns in season 1 and Sarah is at Casa Bartowski eating thanksgiving. What if things happened a little different?

Disclaimer: Don't own Chuck. Sarah does.

After Bryce and Chuck talked outside….

Sarah looked at Chuck and could see something had happened.

"Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, everything is great." Chuck answers sort of sarcastically.

Sarah took a sip of wine while looking at him. Something is off.

"Does anybody else want some?" Anna asked and Sarah was brought back to reality.

"I'm good." Everybody said at the same time.

Sarah took a bite of her plate and looked at Chuck again. He was trying to tell her something.

"Bryce Larkin is in my bedroom!" Chuck said overcompensating every word and with a crazy look in his eyes.

What? Sarah thought. What the hell is he doing here? He should be long gone by now! Sarah then excused herself from the table and walked towards Chuck's bedroom.

She stopped for a few seconds outside the door and took her gun out ready for whatever Bryce have in store. She opened the door slowly and peaked inside looking for Bryce but could not see him. She walked into the room looking around and before she could react Bryce had her pinned down on the bed.

Bryce looked into her eyes. "You're getting sloppy Sarah. Has Chuck changed you that much already?" He said and smiled. He then let go of Sarah's hands and stood up. Sarah raised herself slowly and made a fist in her hand and quickly raised herself and knocked him over with one punch.

"I am perfectly capable of handling myself." She said looking at Bryce with anger and wondering.

"Guess I deserved that." He smiled and raised himself up from the ground.

"What the hell are you doing here? You should be long gone by now." Sarah was angry.

"I came to say goodbye. I wanted to leave Chuck a message before I left." He said looking over towards Chuck's dresser.

Sarah looked confused. "What message?"

"I wanted to apologize for sending him the Intersect and for messing up his life so much. But I knew Chuck could handle it. I trust him and I need you to protect him. I know you will do that." Bryce answered looking into Sarah's eyes.

Sarah could see that Bryce was telling the truth.

"Of course I will protect him. He's my asset." Sarah said now in agent mode.

Bryce smiled. "That's not all he is for you Sarah."

"What do you mean?"

"I see the way you are looking at him. You have feelings for him and I know he has feelings for you too. " Bryce answered looking towards the Morgan-window.

Sarah didn't know what to say. How did Bryce know?

"I'll take your silence for it's true." Bryce said and smiled.

Sarah couldn't say anything because she knew the room was bugged and if she admitted it she would be re-assigned. Before she could answer Bryce spoke again.

"I see what you are thinking and don't worry. I checked for bugs and disabled the video-feed so you have nothing to worry about."

Meanwhile in the kitchen Chuck wondered if he had made a mistake and excused himself from the table and started walking towards his room.

Inside Chuck's room Sarah was considering her options. She knew she had feelings for Chuck so what the hell why not admit it?

"Fine." She huffed. "I have feelings for him but I can't do anything about it anyway. I'm his handler."

"So you two should keep it a secret. You are suppose to be in a relationship anyway so why not use that to your advantage?"

Sarah thought about it and it made her stomach flutter. She then smiled.

Suddenly she heard Chuck calling her name from the hallway. Bryce heard him too.

A thought entered his mind. "We should kiss and make him jealous, that would force him to make a move on you soon. Then you two can start your real relationship."

Sarah thought it was a good idea and smiled. She didn't want to kiss anyone but Chuck but she thought he had a good idea so she went with it.

She took a breath and they both leaned towards each other and started kissing. Soon after they started Chuck was standing outside the door heartbroken. He really didn't want to see that. He started getting angry and sad at the same time. Bryce always get's the girl he thought and turned around walking back to the living room.

Bryce could see his buddy getting frustrated and that he walked away and decided it was time to stop the kissing.

He smiled towards Sarah and nodded that it had the desired effect. Bryce gave her a hug. "I hope you two will be happy together." Then he climbed out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Sarah was still standing in the room and started thinking about the kiss she and Chuck shared at the dock. He was such a good kisser. I wonder if there is something more in that department he is good at? She thought for herself and her imagination started working overtime.

She then walked back towards the living room again and she saw Chuck sitting at the table in deep thoughts. She sat down again and took a sip of wine smiling internally when Chuck looked at her. It made her heart skip a beat thinking of all the things she was going to do with Chuck.

The dinner soon came to an end so Morgan and Anna said goodbye and left holding hands. Ellie and Devon started with the cleaning. Casey said goodbye to Chuck and Sarah and thanked Ellie for the wonderful dinner and excused himself walking back to his apartment. Sarah took her plate and started walking towards the kitchen. Ellie quickly stopped her in her tracks telling her that she didn't need to worry about it and that she had everything under control.

Sarah thought it was best to get home to her hotel room although she wanted to be right where she was with Chuck. She and Chuck started walking towards the front door and Sarah waved goodbye to Ellie and Devon. As they approached the fountain Chuck stopped her taking her hand. Here we go she thought and hid a smile.

They were now looking at each other and Sarah waited for Chuck to say something because it looked like he was struggling with whatever he wanted to say.

"Sarah.." He started. Sarah was waiting impatiently.

"Sarah. I saw you kissing Bryce in my room." He took a sharp breath.

Sarah heart started beating faster. Come on Chuck. Say it!

"And I want you to know I understand."

What? Understand? Sarah didn't understand what he was saying.

"Chuck.. What…" She started before Chuck cut her off.

"Wait. It's more." Sarah looked intensely on him.

"I know you have feelings for Bryce. He is the love of your life. You thought he was dead and now he is back and I don't want to stand in the way." Chuck said before quickly continued. "Therefore I understand that you probably want an re-assignment so you two could go back to being the best spy couple out there. The world deserve the best and that is you two." He said and smiled weakly.

No! Chuck, fight for me! Don't give up on me. She wanted to scream.

He brought his hand up and caressed her cheek. Sarah closed her eyes for the feeling of Chuck touching her. "Goodbye Sarah. Take care of yourself. " And with that he walked back towards the apartment. Sarah stood there still shaking of the feeling that Chuck brought to her. When she felt the feeling of his presence gone she quickly opened her eyes. Chuck was standing in the doorway looking back at her. He smiled softly. "I'll find something to tell Ellie. Don't worry." With that he walked inside and closed the door.

Sarah stood frozen at the fountain. What just happened?
