AN: Like seriously, I'm not joking when I say I wrote these after the episode came out last year. I wrote both of these rough drafts on October 19, 2016. Halloween IV (season 4 episode 5) came out on October 18, 2016.
And by rough drafts, I mean I had two /finished/ rough drafts written on October 19, 2016 according to my computer files. That I never even touched or did anything with. And when I realized that the next Halloween was coming out, I was like man, I should just put em up. Who cares?
So I opened them up this morning and polished them up a bit so I could upload them, and here they are!
"Maybe we should team up next year. When we're picking teams. Partners. That would be a guaranteed win. We are the two best detectives with the highest number of solved cases. A divided house and all. The Saralta team would come up on top," Amy suggested later that night after Gina's surprise win that was actually really impressively elaborate.
They were probably lucky that Gina had chosen the light side and worked at the NYPD, cause times like these show just how good she would be at being a super villain. Really frightening. New York was hella lucky that Gina hadn't become a criminal mastermind, because she obviously would disturbingly great at it.
"One problem with that: we would never be able to do that," Jake held up one finger and ticked it into the air to illustrate his point. "If we teamed up we'd work together the whole time until the very last minute and screw each other over so neither of us have to share the credit. When it was down to us two, there would be some major backstabbing so there would be just one winner. We're too competitive. And you turn into a straight up psycho when there's a competition involved. We wouldn't stand a chance of working together and winning together. And don't you dare deny it, cause we both know you would sell me out in a heart beat in the heat of a competition."
Amy winced. "I think you're right. We would end up doing that, wouldn't we?"
"Oh yeah. Big time."
"I'm sorry," Amy apologized for selling him out in a hypothetical scenario, because she definitely would do that if the situation ever happened. No doubt about it.
"Yeah, me too," he agreed, and it was all they could both do to keep from breaking out into smiles at this completely ridiculous and genuine conversation.
"But come on, Saralta? No way. It's Pantiago," Jake declared like he had any vested authority in how to mix up their names for a team name. "And don't think that's just because I want my last name letter to be first. Saralta would be all my last name except for your one letter, and that team name sucks. It sounds like some spice- like sassafras or something. No, that team name sucks. Pantiago all the way. It's all your last name except my one letter, and it even has pant in it, Amy! That's the best name ever. You can't deny it."
"It's the most ridiculous name ever," she corrected.
"Still the best."
"Whatever you say, Peralta. Whatever you say."
