Some stuff from the beginning of the first seasonSummary:
What if Sydney and Vaughn met before they became agent and handler? What if they were dating? See how things turn into a difficult surprise.Author's Note:
Hey, for those of you who have been reading Fate Intervenes: Vaughn's POV, there will be less updates for that story while I'm writing this one. Hopefully, I'll have time to write both simultaneously. We'll see. If you write a note to my teachers about giving me less homework, I'll be able to write more and more. lol. Anyways, this takes place about two months after Danny's(Syd's Fiance in case you didn't know) death. Lots of S/V fluff. Maybe some angst. We'll see. PLEASE REVIEW!! Before I started writing fan fics, I didn't review a lot because I didn't understand how much reviews mean to the writers. Now, I do. It really encourages you to write more and more so please review and be kind!A Difficult Surprise

Chapter 1
Sydney's POV
As I pushed open the door to the small bookstore, there was a small ringing sound announcing my presence. I hated those bells. When I was little, I always opened those doors as lightly as possible so I wouldn't make any ringing sounds. It never really worked.
I start to walk down the aisles of bookcases. Every once in a while, I would pick up a book that interested me and skim through it. I didn't even know why I was here. I mean I didn't need a book or anything.
It's just that Danny used to come here a lot. Sometimes I imagine that I might have picked up a book that Danny had been skimming through. I miss him. It's been two months since his horrible murder. I hate Sloane for doing this to me. All that keeps me going nowadays is knowing that I'm avenging Danny's death and that I'm saving other people from having to experience what I've experienced.
Oh look, a dessert cookbook. I pick it up and start look through it, not really paying any attention to the book at all. I'm thinking instead about all the things that's happened in the last two months.
It had been surprising to find out that my father was a double agent for the CIA and that the organization that I worked for is the enemy. I had been hurt as well. Why would my own father keep this a secret from me? Naturally, I joined the CIA as well. I'm now a double agent and help the CIA by performing counter missions. It's been okay, but I hate my handler, Agent Lambert. I know he doesn't care about my safety or the future of SD-6. All he cares about his precious career and how I'm going to improve his salary. It won't matter for long though. I've requested a new handler and in two weeks, I won't have to see the bastard ever again.
I set the book back on the shelf and continue walking down the aisles. Somehow, I end up in the action/adventure section of the bookstore. I was about to turn out since I've had enough adventure to last me a lifetime, when a book title caught my eye. The Day in the Life of a Spy. I could already feel a smirk coming across my face. Like the author could possibly know what it was like to live *my* life. Because I was sure it was going to be so false that it would make me laugh, I decided to skim through it.
As I reached to pick up the book, I saw another hand reach for the book as well. I pull my hand away and turn my head sideways. There my eyes stared into the most captivating pair of green eyes I have ever seen.
Vaughn's POV
I walk into the store and starting strolling down the aisles. Usually, my normal routine does not include a stop to the local bookstore, but today was an exception. My mom's birthday was coming up and there was this book she had really wanted.
I quickly started skimming the titles looking for the book I wanted when I came across the book, Alice in Wonderland. It made me think about Alice, my ex-girlfriend. I wonder how's she's doing. The last time I had seen her was when she was standing in the living room of the my apartment with her bags all packed two months a go. I guess I can't blame her for leaving me. I was a CIA officer, but I couldn't tell her anything about it. There were times when I would be gone for days and she would worry about me. I know it must have been hard on her. She would always ask about work and of course I couldn't tell her anything because of protocol.
In truth though, if I had really loved her, I probably would have told her more. I would have quit being a field agent and spend more time with her. The truth was I didn't love her. I tried to love her because she was such an amazing person, but she wasn't the one for me.
After she left, I moved here to LA. I got transferred to the main headquarters of the CIA offices and now work behind a desk. I had wanted to be a field agent again, but they didn't need anymore field agents at the time. Last month, they told me that there was an opening and offered me the job. After some thinking, I decided that I would be more helpful to them behind a desk. Besides my mother was getting older and I didn't want her to have to worry about me so much.
The job's starting to look up though. There seems to be a new handler position available and Devlin is considering me for it. It turns out Lambert couldn't "handle" his double agent and she had requested a new handler. I wasn't surprised. Lambert was greedy and crude to put it in nice terms.
Somehow I end up in the action/adventure section of the bookstore. I decided to take a look even though I knew the book my mother wanted would not be there. I skimmed the titles and stopped when I saw a book titled, The Day in the Life of a Spy. Even though I knew it would be filled with fictional bull, I decided it couldn't hurt to take a look.
As I reached for the book, I saw another hand reach for the book as well. I quickly pull my hand away and turn towards the person. There my eyes stared into the softest pair of brown eyes I had ever seen.
*I know, I know. This chapter was sort of boring, but I had to go through all the explanation stuff. Next chapter will be better! Promise!
