A/N: Why Summer Shandy, well if you've seen there was a picture shared by Lorraine Bracco with Tony Denison who shared it with us on twitter, where she took a picture of a case of Summer Shandy with the a caption reading something like the universe wants this, or some such thing. SO I just thought it would be appropriate since I was spending my summer flailing about shandy anyway. This might become a trend every year, idk. I have a few more summer shandy stories to write, plus many more to edit before they make it from tumblr to here. In the effort of efficiency I am hoping to edit five a day, but I can't promise that will happen because real life doesn't always agree with my fanfiction needs. Speaking of editing most of these were written in the span of a few hours and were personally edited by myself so any mistakes I've missed are my fault.
This prompt came from feymcdonnell and it was "Could you repeat that?"

"What do you mean you haven't told your family that you and Captain Raydor aren't dating." Provenza harshly whispered at his friend in the super cubicle.
"It slipped my mind." Andy grit out trying to keep his voice and blood pressure down.
"FOR A YEAR?!" Provenza shouted.
"Could you keep it down!"
Provenza slumped his shoulders as if it would help him keep his voice down. "It slipped your mind for a year?!"
"Yeah. Sharon just kind of became part of the family and nobody really talked about it. They just kind of accepted that she was there."
"How many times has Captain," he figured if he kept stressing the word it would make some kind of impact on his friend, "Raydor been out with you and your family?"
Andy thought about it hard. "You mean together or separately?"
Provenza threw up his arms in exasperation. "Ye gods! What has been going on with you two?"
"Well Sharon and Nicole have been going out to lunch recently and then there's like family stuff that Sharon gets invited to." Then as an after thought he added, "And sometimes Sharon and I grab a bite to eat after work with the kid, sometimes without him though."
All Provenza could do was stare slack jawed at his friend. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He finally angrily sputtered, his face turning an interesting shade of red, "Dinners?!"
"Would you keep your damn voice down?!"
"Flynn are you crazy or just dumb? What are you doing?"
"She's fun to be around." Andy's shoulders slumped as he shrugged, defeated.
All of Provenza's bluster deflated like a week old balloon. His features softened slightly. His friend was smitten and yelling until he collapsed would never change that. "Are you sure?"
"She makes me laugh, and she's so smart. She took me to an art gallery last weekend and she explained to me the styles, the history behind them and some of the political influences." He smiled widely at the memory but snapped out of it remember something else to tell Provenza. "Did you know she minored in art history? BUT she also likes sports, we went to a Dodgers game and she followed the whole thing and I didn't have to explain anything. And she's so beautiful, I can't even believe that she wastes her time on some old idiot like me."
Provenza sighed it was worse than he thought. He asked one last time to make sure his friend meant it. "Are you sure you want to go down this road?"
"Yeah, I guess I am. I can't help it, I'm in love with Sharon Raydor."
He didn't see but at that moment Sharon turned into the cubicle looking for her two lieutenants. She stuttered to a stop, almost bumping into Flynn. Only barely being able to speak. "Could you repeat that?"
