Juliet's POV

Chapter 1: The Beginning of The End

It all started out as a normal day for me. Well, as normal as a day at Psych with Shawn and Gus could get. I walked over to Shawn and made a move to kiss him, all the while stealing the rest of his pineapple smoothie and walking away before our lips could touch.

"You're such a tease." he said, looking at me with fake daggers in his eyes.

I giggled "I know I am, but I didn't even want a kiss, I just wanted this." I said, lifting up the smoothie and taking a sip.

Shawn hurtled the desk, lunging for the smoothie cup. I took one step back and Shawn fell, face first, on the floor. I laughed and took another sip of his smoothie.

"I guess you can have it back now… IF-" before I could give him my ultimatum, the shrill sound of my phone rang out across the room, with the ringtone that was unmistakably Carlton's. I sighed and said. "I have to get that."

"Come on Jules," Shawn was begging. "Can't you just ignore him this one time!? It's not like the world is going to end if you don't answer right this very second, Lassy can solve ONE crime by himself." He leapt up, wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek, persuading me to stay the best way he knew how. "You know Gus and I are waaaay more fun than him. You want to spend the day with us." He took this opportunity to take his smoothie back.

By the time I had successfully disentangled myself from his arms; the phone had stopped ringing and was beeping with a new message. I picked up the phone and called my voicemail. Carlton's voice was angry. It had been a long time since I had neglected to pick up the phone when he called. Especially while I was on my day off.

"Come On, O'Hara! Answer the phone! We've got a body on the beach, about ten minutes from the Psych office, which is where I'm assuming you are right now." My eyes flicked to Shawn and Gus' faces. I knew Carlton wouldn't want them there. And I knew there was nothing I could do to keep them from following me. What Carlton said next surprised me. "Bring Spencer and Guster; we're going to need them on this one."

I hung up the phone after hearing the tone that meant the message was over and quickly dialed Carlton's number.

"We're on our way." I was slightly angry. Why did we always get cases on my days off? Why did we never get a case when I actually had to work?

Shawn and Gus were looking at me with excitement in their eyes. I knew what they were about to ask… And I'm not sure if Carlton really knew what he was doing by telling me to bring them along.

"Who's we?" Shawn was first to speak, trying to sound nonchalant, unsuccessfully of course. He was obviously excited; he hadn't had a case in a week and was asking his dad to let him on every stupid case that walked into the station.

"There is a body ten minutes from here and Chief has ordered all hands on deck." I said carefully, trying to keep him calm and professional.

Shawn was giddy; I thought it was pretty weird, considering the fact that all he'd done the last week was watch Phineas and Ferb and eat junk food, why'd he want a case so bad, he was living his dream… I began to wonder about the person waiting for us to solve the mystery of their death. I began to wonder about their family, life, significant other and (maybe even) kids. My thoughts were cut short by Shawn's method of motivating Gus, yelling.

"Finally! A case! Something to do around this boring town." He was excited, most people probably thought it was creepy that he was excited about the loss of a life, but I knew the silliness, the obnoxiousness, and the need to be loud, was Shawn's way of coping with the loss of an innocent life.

"Shawn, come on, I really don't fell like being yelled at by Carlton today. Can we just go?" I was irritated now, I just wanted to have a nice relaxing day, but NOO someone had to go and find a body on the beach. I was unfairly taking my anger out on Shawn and I could see the hurt in his eyes, I could see him struggling to figure out what he did wrong.

"Okay Jules," said Gus "We'll follow you in the blueberry."

I looked at Shawn one last time, before walking out to the cruiser. I gave him a light kiss, climbed in the car, and checked my rearview mirror to make sure Gus was prepared to follow me. I pulled out of the Psych lot and began to drive towards the beach.

-LINE BREAK-

When we arrived at the beach, I motioned for Shawn and Gus to stay in the car while Lassiter walked up to me with an angry look on his face.

"O'Hara!" His voice snapped with a tone that made me cower in fear of my partner. "What took so long? Ever since you and Spencer started dating, you've been slacking on the job. It's becoming a serious issue."

"Carlton, calm down. I was on my day off. My relationship with Shawn has never affected my judgment at work. You just don't like the idea of me dating him. Now, what's the situation with the body?" I was trying to quell Carlton's mental fire. I had already messed with Shawn's head enough today on accident; I didn't need Carlton purposefully messing with the status of Shawn and I's relationship in Shawn's head.

"Right," He sounded surprised at the mention of the body. "Well, a man was taking his dog for their morning run when they came across the body. McNabb is taking his statement now."

"Ok," I said, with audible confusion in my voice. "This sounds like a normal situation, nothing you and I can't handle together. Why do we need Shawn on this case?"

"Because O'Hara, the body is unidentifiable. We need Spencer to see if he can get a reading. Chief ordered it, and I don't feel like losing my job today." Carlton was clearly unhappy; he really hates working with Shawn.

"I'm going to go get Shawn and let him know what the situation is," I walked away, trying to give Carlton his space, he seemed upset and Shawn was only going to make it worse. I would have to do my best to keep these two apart on this case.

I walked up to Shawn and Gus. They were whispering and I only caught parts of the conversation but it didn't sound good.

"Jules… I don't know what I did…" Shawn was talking and he sounded upset, but I didn't hear everything he said.

Gus looked up and made eye contact with me. He smacked Shawn on the shoulder to get him to stop talking.

"Hey Juliet," Gus, way too loudly, yelled and I knew something was up. He was trying to let Shawn know I was behind him. "What's the situation with the body? Why do we need to be here?"

Thanks for reading! Please review and tell me if I should continue!
