By: TowaNeko
Characters: Shawn & Gus
Summary: Shawn discovers something new at a Farmer's Market
Inspiration: Shawn's obsession with the greatest fruit of all time, PINEAPPLE! (^w^)
Disclaimer: I do not one anything except for the storyline.
"Gus, I can't believe you got me up at eight o' clock in the morning just to go to a Farmer's Market," Shawn complained as he got out of Gus's car. "If there was any logical reason to get someone up that early it is not to go and buy fruit unless it's tons of pineapple. Cause Gus if you're going to buy me tons of pineapple I may just forgive you."
"I am only buying you one pineapple, Shawn. And a Farmer's Market can be fun. You can find all kinds of different fruits that you've never even heard of or tried before," Gus replied heading towards the fruit stalls. "Like last time I was here I tried Dragon Fruit and it is actually really good. Shawn?" Gus said looking around for his missing friend.
"Probably took off to the pineapple booth," Gus muttered and went to look for him. But surprisingly when Gus found the pineapple booth Shawn wasn't there. And even more surprisingly the owner of the stall hadn't seen him.
"Where can he be?" Gus asked himself. About ten minutes later Gus was ready to give up looking for his friends when he spotted Shawn helping a woman carry a crate of what looked to be watermelons to his car.
"SHAWN!"
The fake psychic looked up at the sound of his name.
"Yo, Gus. You won't believe what I found!"
Gus come over and nodded at the woman in acknowledgement before turning to Shawn. "I don't know, Shawn, watermelons?"
"Not just any watermelons, Gus," Shawn said as he motioned the woman to lower the crate of watermelons to the ground. She then left with a nod to Gus making him guess that he would be the one helping Shawn carry the crate the rest of the way to the car. Shawn then picked one up and held it in Gus's face. "It's Pineapple Watermelon. It's even yellow inside."
"You can't be serious."
"No I'm serious. I mean it's like the perfect thing for summer, Gus. It's the summer fruit that everyone loves mixed with the greatest fruit of all time! It even tastes like pineapple. Look!" Shawn then dropped the melon on the ground having no other way of getting it open at the time.
Sure enough the inside was yellow though it still had the seeds you would find in a normal watermelon. Shawn picked up two pieces that hadn't touched the ground and held a piece out to Gus.
"Here taste," he said before taking a bite of his own piece.
Gus stared at the piece of fruit for a moment before taking a bite. It had the sweet watery taste that watermelon usually had but this time it included the sweet and tangy taste of pineapple.
"It's good," Gus admitted before looking at the crate again. "Don't tell me you bought all of those."
"Of course I did!" Shawn exclaimed. "I have to increase the awareness of this wonderful mixture of fruits. Now help me carry this and fit it in your car with the other two crates."
"Other two crates?" But Gus's comment went unheard as Shawn tried to drag the crate towards the car. Gus just sighed and vowed that he would never take Shawn somewhere new again.
But this vow was broken when Gus took Shawn to a Japanese-American Supermarket and Shawn discovered the wonderful pastry called a Pineapple Bun.

(A/N) Yay! First Psych one-shot and first thing to post on this site. And just to let you know Pineapple Watermelon is a real fruit. I discovered it when my mom and I stopped by a fruit farm. I couldn't believe at first and of course I had to get one. And yes, the Pineapple Bun really is a pastry, too. Anyways thanks for reading and reviews are loved.
