Chuck vs. ISIS
Setting: The Beach - January 27, 2012
The story picks up on the beach where we last saw Chuck and Sarah.
"You know, Morgan has this crazy idea," said Chuck hoping that he wasn't about to make a fool of himself.
"What is it?" Sarah replied, hoping to hear something good. Sarah could not even remember the last time she smiled, but this nerd was making her feel at ease for some strange reason.
"He thinks that with one kiss, you will remember everything."
"One magical kiss?" asked Sarah. This made Sarah laugh a little. It sounded so corny, almost as if it was taken right out of a Disney movie. But it might be worth it, Sarah thought to herself, "Who knows? Maybe it could work."
"I know it's…" Chuck began, but before he could continue, Sarah cut him off.
"Chuck…" Sarah was going for it. She needed to feel love. She needed to feel the last five years of her life. She felt anxious, but had nothing to lose.
Chuck responded with a simple, "Yeah?" He was caught off guard, not expecting what was about to hit him.
"Kiss me." Those two little words that Sarah just whispered gave Chuck hope – a hope for their future. "Whether or not this kiss works, I will get Sarah back," Chuck thought. And with that, he poured his whole heart and soul into the magical kiss.
The kiss could have lasted forever. Neither Chuck nor Sarah wanted it to end. Eventually, though, their lips parted away from each other. As they did, Chuck and Sarah looked each other in the eye. They both felt the magic that Morgan was talking about, but the memories had not been sparked.
"Chuck…" Sarah began as she rose from her spot on the beach. Chuck stood up and took her hands in his trying to comfort her. "I'm not ready for this. You deserve so much more. You've been so sweet to me ever since Quinn stole my memories, and I can't repay you. I don't know how to. I've lost five years of my life, and I don't know if I'll ever remember our times together. I need more time to be alone to sort through my feelings. I hope you can understand."
"I do," Chuck answered even though it pained him to acknowledge it. "Take as much time as you need, but always remember, the Bartowski family is always here for you."
"Thank you, Chuck." And with that, Sarah turned and walked away, leaving Chuck alone on the beach to sort out his own feelings.
This is just a short opening chapter. It's not much, but hopefully you enjoyed it nonetheless.
