I just always wished that the beach house episode in season 2 had ended like this; I just love Jake and Amy so much that they deserved a cute meaningful moment in this episode:
So...
Amy is so drunk that Gina announces to the squad that she will need someone help to get her to her room, Jake volunteers straight away and tells Gina that he has it all under control (obviously thinking about a great embarrassing photo opportunity).
Jake slowly gets Amy to her room and then realises that he has to put her into bed. As he does this, she starts to mumble cute things and then just mentions Jake's name, smirking he says in a 'serious yet silly voice', "Santiago, I just can't believe that you're in this state, pull yourself together" (his voice cracking at the end as he tries to hold in his laughter).
Jake lays her down, puts a blanket over her and then, as he starts to walk out of the room, she tells him not to leave as she doesn't want to be left alone. So he stays, walks towards her and sits on the bed next to where she's laying.
After a couple of minutes Amy then says to him that she wants to tell him an important secret so he leans in and she murmurs "You're it", Jake gets confused and just thinks she's playing a game or something because she's so drunk, therefore Jake whispers back "No, you're it", now frustrated Amy says "No, no, you don't get it, you are it!" and then she kisses him full on. Jake likes it but knows this is bad because he's still with Sophia so after a moment or two he pulls away and says, "This is wrong, we can't happen like this!"
Amy gets confused and doesn't understand what she did wrong. Jake, knowing that she's so drunk and that she probably doesn't understand the power of her actions right now, tells her that she needs to get some rest because she's in such bad shape at the moment.
So Peralta tucks her into the covers, turns the light off and promises her that he will come and check on her in the morning.
Jake walks slowly out of the room contemplating the events that had just happened a moment ago, unable to conceal the worried, yet smug look on his face.
Oblivious to what's going on around him as he enters the poorly lit landing, he bumps in something hard and tall, that thing being The Sarge, right now known as relaxed 'Vacation Terry'.
"Whoa, everything ok Jake, you look completely out of it, Santiago's alright isn't she?"
There's a pause for a moment and Jake replies, "Sorry, what, yeah. Amy's fine, just maybe too drunk to know her own name".
"I think six drinks are the limit for her, actually even one drink effects her badly, she should not be allowed to drink" responds Terry, laughing at his own humour.
"Ha yeah, funny"
"Are you ok Jake, you seem a little lost, what's happened?" says Terry, now a little worried.
Reasonably quickly Jake replies with "I'm fine, everything's great, more than great, everything's epic!"
He then walks, with some pace, down the landing to his room where he closed the door shut behind him, leaving a confused Terry alone.
The next morning;
"Rise and shine sleepy head, it's almost midday, you've missed breakfast, and lunch is off the table at 1pm, so if you're not dying from last night, you might want to get up and have some food". This was the third time Jake had tried to get Amy up, he refused to let anyone else come in and see her as he was the person who promised to visit her in the morning so it was his duty to take care of her, with no help at all.
He begins to leave the room once again but Amy quietly says "Stay, please, just stay".
He stops and walks properly into the room, then she sits up a little and has a sip of the water Jake had left his previous visit, then he says jokingly "So, you remember anything from last night then?"
It's silent for a minute while Amy tries to think back.
"Oh my god, so this last night was bad if what I'm 'remembering' is true," says an embarrassed Amy. "I remember dinner, that crazy walk on the beach, the separate party's, the hot tub, then...oh my god, I didn't really ask for a raise, that was a dream right...Right?!"
"No" replied Jake, "All true, 40% raise, very hopeful. I honestly thought he might of given you one though, the captain seemed tipsy enough to."
"Oh God, no!" she responded while throwing her head into her pillow.
"Do you remember anything after that?" said Jake curiously.
"We definitely all played a game to do with what the captain has said or not." Amy replied as she lifted her head from her pillow.
"One of my greatest inventions may I say!"
"Yes, well done Jake, the next thing I remember is Gina saying that 6-drink Amy is her friend."
"Really? That does not sound like Gina at all." added Jake, smirking.
"Don't laugh, it's true. But anyway, hang on, let me think for a second...Then...Yeah... then you took me to my bed!"
Jake smiled proudly.
"Thank you, that was so kind Jake!"
"Honestly, it was nothing, I only did it in the first place to get some funny pics of you, sadly, I was not successful" responded Jake, still smug though.
"If that happened, I wouldn't have ever forgiven you Peralta," replied Amy innocently.
"Lies" shouted Jake while laughing.
Then Amy broke into laughter too, and once calmed said, "Well then, did I forget or miss anything last night?"
Jake mentally fought with himself to decide if he should tell her about what she'd said to him and the kiss they had shared, but in the end he thought he should keep this a secret from sober Amy, at the moment, to avoid drama, and to save her dignity.
"No, that was pretty much it, I put you to bed and then went to bed myself" said Jake, now regretting his decision.
"Oh" said Amy "boring!"
"I know!" replied Jake, "But anyway, I'm going to head back to the others to tell them that you are, in fact, alive. You want to come with me for proof?"
"Yeah sure, I'll just get changed into something that doesn't smell of regret."
"Smort, I'll wait outside the door," said Jake respectfully.
He walks out of the room and closed the door gently.
Amy sighed.
She now knew that he'd made his decision, but her brain thought back to the unforgettable evening and Jake's meaningful sentence, 'we can't happen like this'. She knew deep down that he still really liked her 'romantic stylez' and now she knew she really likes him that way too. He'd waited for her for so long and now it was her time to wait for him, for however long it takes.
"Ames, come on, I'm waiting, hurry up, I can't wait forever. Why do women take so long to be ready?!"
As you can tell, I have thought long and hard about the perfect peraltiago moment that fits in with this episode. This is definitely one of my favourite episodes but in my opinion was definitely lacking a good flirty Jake and Amy scene or two, so hope you enjoy this. XX
