Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything...Except of course my original characters but other than them, I do not own Chuck (Although I wish I did...). I also don't own Gary Valenciano's song 'Wait Forever' (if you have a chance, look it up 'cause it's a really good song.)

Author's Note: This is my first chapter of fanfiction I have ever written in my entire life so please pity me if there is anything wrong in this. I would also like to say that critisism is welcome and if you don't like my story, please tell me. Oh yeah, one more thing. I am seriously so nervous that no one would like my story so please tell me if you do and I just might continue it.

Chapter1: Reassignments and Broken Hearts

Chuck silently walked over to the navy blue Porsche parked in the front of an Italian restaurant. The band's soft music in the restaurant drifted its way into Chuck's ears as he picked the lock quickly and efficiently. 'Thank God Ellie got me that lock picking kit for my tenth birthday' Chuck thought.

With the door finally open, Chuck disabled the alarm to avoid attracting any unwanted attention and quickly put the teddy bear in the driver's seat. He then put a bouquet of assorted flowers and a box of chocolates next to them. With a small grin etched into his features, Chuck closed the door and slipped into the restaurant through the back.

"Hey, Ellie, do you know where Chuck is?" Sarah spoke into her phone as she sat in a sexy, black dress at a cozy Italian restaurant. The restaurant was very intimate and was ranked with a nice five stars. It was pricey but worth it. The food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. The dining room was graced with a nice band playing beautiful music to match the atmosphere and both young and old couples contributed a soft chatter.

"Umm...no, but he left about twenty-five minutes ago. Why?" Ellie said on the other end.

"Well he just told me to meet him at that Italian restaurant near the Santa Monica Pier and its just been awhile." Sarah said beginning to worry.

"Oh. Okay. Well I'm sure he'll be there soon so don't worr- wait. Are we talking about the five-star Italian restaurant?" Ellie asked the blonde woman on the phone. "The one that's expensive and amazing?"

"Yeah, that one." Sarah said.

"Oh my God. That is SO great. Well anyways, what else are you and Chuck doing for this spectacular Valentine's Day evening?" Ellie asked happily.

"I'm not exactly sure. Chuck said it was a surprise." Sarah said truthfully. She was unable to get Chuck to tell her this piece of information much to her dismay.

"Well I'm sure it will be great. He always goes the extra mile for Valentine's Day. I'm guessing he'll sing or something. That's what he usually does." Ellie said. "I remember when he was in college, he serenaded his gal for Valentine's Day...Well anyway, I have to go now. Devin's taking me out to dinner. Oh, and by the way, Chuck is good at singing, like, really good."

"Really?" Sarah asked amused. Last Valentine's Day, Chuck, Sarah, and Casey had to infiltrate a major arms dealer's Valentine's Day party. "I didn't know he sings."

"Yeah, he's a bit shy about his voice but you should hear him." Ellie replied. "OKAY, DEVIN!! I'M COMING!!" Ellie yelled to her lover, her voice slightly muffled by her hand on the receiver. "Okay, I really have to go now. Bye, Sarah! Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Thanks. You too. Bye, Ellie." Sarah said and hung up her phone.

Sarah's phone rang as she was putting it away in her purse. She looked at the caller id hoping to see it was Chuck but it was an encrypted call from Director Graham.

"Walker." Sarah said into her phone.

"Yes, Agent Walker, I was just calling to inform you of your reassignment. Your services are no longer needed with the Intersect but are needed elsewhere. I will be sending in another agent to take your place next to Major Casey and all I can tell you about you're new mission is that it will just have something to do with Fulcrum and keeping the Intersect safe." Director Graham said on the other end.

"What? I'm being reassigned?" Sarah said thoroughly confused.

"I believe that that is what I said. Is there a problem Agent Walker?" Director Graham asked with no hint of concern in his voice.

"Um...No, sir...When am I leaving this assignment?" Sarah asked not wanting to leave the one place she liked. The one place with a certain Chuck Bartowski.

"You will report to headquarters tomorrow at 10 a.m. I have a ticket under your name to D.C. for the nine o'clock flight tonight. Exact flight details will be sent to your phone soon. Don't be late." Director Graham said before hanging up.

"Damnit." Sarah whispered to herself as unwelcome tears began to pool in her eyes.

"Hello, everyone, Happy Valentine's Day!" a very familiar, enthusiastic voice said on the stage where the band was playing. "I hope that on this special day, you guys are giving your lady friends your undivided attention." Chuck said and the girls in the restaurant gave cheer. "I'm here tonight to sing for my wonderful girlfriend of about a year and a half." Chuck continued, giving Sarah a dazzling smile which Sarah reciprocated with a smile of her own as she quickly recovered from the call she got just moments earlier. "I'm gonna sing a song called "Wait Forever" by this great Filipino singer named Gary Valenciano also known as Gary V. Sooo... This is for you Sarah."

Everyone applauded as the band began to play the introduction and the whole restaurant became quiet as Chuck began to sing into the mike looking at Sarah as he poured his heart and soul into the song.

'Shit! I can't do this now! Why does Chuck have to be so great and loving and sweet..." Sarah thought to herself as Chuck continued to sing. Before she knew it, a tear trickled down her cheek as Sarah thought about what this reassignment would do to herself and more importantly, Chuck.

When the song came to a close, the restaurant filled with applause and many women cheered with approval of the song choice. Sarah quickly wiped her tears and tried not to look like she had cried.

"Thank you, everyone, for your time. I hope you liked it. Have a Happy Valentine's Day and drive safe." Chuck said with a smile before hopping off the stage and walking towards Sarah.

'Oh shit! How am I supposed to do this?!' Sarah mentally panicked as she saw Chuck making his way towards her. For the first time in her life, she thought about quitting the agency but that would be very hard and plus, it was the only thing she thought she was good at, right?

"Hey," Chuck said softly as he gave her a single white rose, her favorite. "Happy Valentine's Day."

"Thank you, Chuck." Sarah said with a small smile. "The song was beautiful."

"Thanks." Chuck said getting a bit embarrassed with the amount of ladies watching them.

"Hey, Chuck, I need to talk to you." Sarah said as she began to wipe off all emotion from her face.

"Sure." Chuck replied shoving his hands into his pants pockets. "Do you want to go outside?"

"Yeah. Sure." Sarah agreed and picked up her purse, light jacket, and flower.

Once outside, Chuck and Sarah decided to walk around the boardwalk with Chuck insisting on carrying Sarah's things. The night was perfect. The sky was clear with a bright, full moon adorning he navy blue sky that was dotted with stars. It wasn't too cold and it wasn't too hot. It truly was the perfect night for Valentine's Day.

Sarah walked along side Chuck who was dressed in a tuxedo enjoying the last few moments with him before she had to go and make it ugly.

After about ten minutes of walking around, Chuck and Sarah found themselves back at the Italian restaurant standing at the fountain in front of the entry. Sarah turned to find Chuck looking through his pockets.

"Sarah, I wanted to ask you something after dinner but I'm getting this strange feeling that this will be the last chance I have so..." Chuck began as he searched the last pocket that he hasn't looked through yet.

"Chuck, I'm being reassigned." Sarah said evenly, cutting him off before he could ask her THE question. Sarah cursed the cruel ways of fate and its love for irony.

"What?" Chuck asked incredulously, his voice wavering as he found THAT thing in his right pocket.

"I'm being reassigned." Sarah replied and it hurt her to see Chuck's face filled with pain. "I'm leaving tonight at nine."

"Why?! Can't you do something about this?!" Chuck asked, his eyes flashing many emotions. "I can't see myself going on in life without you. Please, don't go." Chuck pleaded, the ring in his pocket feeling much heavier than before.

At this, Sarah had to use all her CIA training to keep herself from jumping into Chuck's arms and surrendering her whole self to him. 'Damn emotions'

"Look, Chuck, I'm leaving and that's final." Sarah said managing to get her voice to sound impatient.

"Please," Chuck said again, his voice cracking. "Don't go, I love you! Don't you get it?!" Chuck asked trying one last time to change her mind.

Sarah's mind almost changed but she had to keep him safe and if it meant living the rest of her life without him, then that was what she would do, no matter how much it would hurt her.

"Well, Chuck, I apparently don't love you, okay? I never have. All those 'moments' we had? Those were all fake. I needed to control you somehow. Our 'relationship' was FAKE. NOT real. Now get that through your thick head and let me go on to my next mission in peace. Without you." Sarah lied very convincingly through gritted teeth before taking her things from Chuck's hands. "Now excuse me, I have to go pack."

With those last, heart wrenching words to keep Chuck safe, Sarah turned on her heel and walked back to her car leaving a very heartbroken Chuck behind her with tears in his eyes.

'Damnit. I can't believe you was actually gonna propose to her. God, you are such a dumbass for thinking she actually liked you to any degree' Chuck thought bitterly to himself as he took out the ring that cost him so much out of his pocket to look at it.

After about ten minutes standing there in the might air, Chuck finally made his mind to roam the city instead of going back to a lonely dinner that was meant for two. After another ten minutes, Chuck found a deserted bar and went in for a drink. 'Why the hell not?'

Sarah walked to her Porsche leaving her love behind her. She cried as she opened her car door to only more flowers, chocolates, and a teddy bear. She subtly looked over her shoulder only to see Chuck still standing there, watching her with pain filled eyes.

With Chuck watching her, Sarah could not read the note on the bear so she made up her mind to read it once she got back to her hotel room.

As Sarah pulled out of the parking lot, she stole one last glance at Chuck who stood there solemnly staring at something in his hands.

Once at her hotel room, Sarah finally broke down as she read the note that was stitched on the heart that the teddy bear was holding.

'Please take care of it. I only have one.'

August

It has been 6 months and 8 days since Sarah broke Chuck's heart into a million pieces.

It has been 6 months and 8 days since Chuck has given up on love completely.

It has been 6 months and 7 days since Chuck met Tori Fisher, a 5'6" tall brunette woman. Tori was also a CIA agent who was sent to protect Chuck after Sarah left and she and Chuck quickly became friends.

Now, on August 22, Chuck has to make a decision.

"Excuse me?" Chuck asked, not sure that he had heard correctly.

"Mr. Bartowski, you have potential and now that we know that you didn't cheat on our college exams and you are in excellent physical shape due to the hours of working out that you started six months ago, we would like you to join the CIA. Plus, we can't have you running around with the Intersect still in your brain." Director Graham said yet again.

"Come on, Bartowski, it'll be fun." Tori assured him as she stood next to him in front of the screen in Casey's apartment. "Plus, if you don't join us, then you'll most likely be sent to rot in an underground bunker because of all those government secrets you have in that noggin of yours." Tori added playfully as she tapped Chuck's head.

Chuck gave the beautiful woman standing next to him a half smile and turned his head to Casey.

"Hey, don't look at me. This is your decision." Casey said gruffly, still in his Buy More uniform.

"Oh. Okay, thanks for the support buddy." Chuck replied sarcastically and in turn, received a death glare from Casey.

Quickly turning his head back to the Director on the screen, Chuck thought about Ellie.

"What about my sister, and my friends?" Chuck asked.

"We assure you, Mr. Bartowski, they will be fine." Director Graham responded. "If you would like, we will frequently send agents to check up on her. And if that's not enough, on your downtime between missions, I will allow you to visit. Mr. Bartowski, this is an offer you cannot pass up. If you do, I will be forced to send you to an underground bunker as Agent Fisher said before."

'Damn! I don't even have an excuse to stay with Ellie!'

"But...What about... okay, fine...I'll join the CIA." Chuck said miserably as the thought of leaving his sister who helped him through so much made him sick.

With a slight smile on his face, Director Graham added, "Thank you Agent Bartowski. This saves me from sending a good recruit to a bunker." Looking to Tori, Director Graham continued, "You, Agent Fisher, will train our new recruit and you two will become partners once he is ready. His cover story to his family and friends will be that he wants to find himself again after losing the 'love' o his life." Chuck suddenly tensed at the mention of Sarah. "Please escort him to Langley tomorrow at 5 a.m. to begin his training and to fill out some paperwork. I will see you then." With that, Director Graham signed off and the screen went blank.

"Well, Bartowski, how does it feel to be in the CIA?" Casey asked Chuck in a mocking tone.
