A/N: This is a series of castle episode continuations, what I think should have happened in the end of every episode. I'll try to put them in order. So after watching Castle tonight, not really sure what episode, the time-traveling one I guess, I just got stuck on this one scene, where Castle's doorbell rings, and it's Beckett, and he opens the door and says "How do you know when you're in love?" Actually, I'm not really sure what Beckett said back, but I think it should have turned out differently. After they figure out the case, they should have had this scene in the car, something like this.
Castle turns to Beckett: "So how do you know when you're in love?"
Beckett does her whole lip-bite-smile-blush thing. "Well it's not really something you can explain Castle, it kind of like this feeling. You want to be around them even when you're mad, and he's acting like an idiot. But when you are around him, it's like the most wonderful drug in the wor-" Turns to look at him, and says in a very no-bullshit-Castle-tone: "Why?"
"Oh, just, something Alexis said."
"The Ashley guy?"
"Yeah."
"Well, if she's happy, then that's what's important. He likes her back right?"
"Yeah, he does."
"And he actually shows it?"
"Yeah….." Castle kinda trails off…staring into space. Then he turns around to look at Beckett, kind of half-grin-half-squinty-narrowed-eyes-Castle look on his face, (You know what I mean, guys), "We are, still, talking about Alexis, right?"
In her 'I'm not lying' tone….."Yeah. Of course. Who else would we be talking about?"
The End
(And we all sigh and smile and say, "What idiots.")
