Recap: It's been 4 weeks since Chuck successfully deactivated the beta intersect before it was able to launch U.S. missiles at heavily populated Chinese targets. Along with saving everyone from the next world war, he was able to hear what he had wanted to hear: Sarah's confirmation of her feelings for him. The situation had seemed to reverse itself for Chuck; originally facing a termination order, he was now enlisted as a special agent for the CIA. As if that wasn't enough to turn his world around, he was also ordered to move in with Sarah in order to further protect him.

It's early Thursday morning at the Bartowski home and Chuck was sitting on a stool, hunched over the kitchen counter. He was deep in thought, slowly stirring his fruit loops while trying to wrap his head around the newest kink in his life: moving in with Sarah.

Not that it wasn't a pleasant thought; it was just that they've only been secretly going out for the last few weeks even though to everyone else they've been going out since around his birthday months ago.

"Good morning, Chuck!"

He looked up to see the smile of his caring sister Ellie. "Hey sis, good morning to you too. Just back from work?"

"Yeah, luckily not much went on." Ellie grabbed an apple from the fridge and joined Chuck, facing him on the other side of the counter.

"So, big day coming up huh?"

"What do you mean? Your wedding is still months away."

"No, Chuck. The day you move in with Sarah. For a nerd, I thought the idea of having a girlfriend, let alone moving in with one, would be a momentous thing."

"Ah, yes. The move in. Woohoo, can't wait!" Chuck said with a little bit of sarcasm in his voice.

"I know. I can't believe that my own brother is moving out into the real world"

If you only knew Ellie. Not the real world, spy world.

"And the best thing is that you'll only be a few minutes away from me and Devon."

"Well I wouldn't want to miss out in all the "awesome" things he's been doing. Besides, how can I move too far away from my favorite sister?"

"I know, who would have thought it was so easy to find a nice place so nearby? It took Devon and I weeks to get this place."

Easy? Sarah and I went to fourteen different apartments only to have either the CIA or NSA reject it for differing reasons. Too close to known felons. Too high up. Too easy access. Finally they agreed on a two bedroom, two bath place just a few minutes down the street.

"You're right sis, easy. I guess fate must've been on our side." Chuck let out a sigh and looked back down at his cereal as if it were a crystal ball.

"Ok, what's going on with you Chuck?" Just as Ellie asked, Sarah in her Wienerlicious outfit walked in the front door which she forgot to close. Ellie nodded and Sarah gave a little wave. They both looked down at Chuck, noting that he seemed to have not noticed her arrival.

Sarah motioned to Ellie to continue as if she wasn't there. Ellie understood and continued, "Don't try to hide from me. It's on your face plain as day."

"Fine, I've just been thinking about me and Sarah. That's all." A worried look came over Sarah's face and Ellie gave her a look telling her to calm down.

"It's just that…don't you think that Sarah is a lot out of my league?"

"What are you talking about Chuck?"

"I mean, Sarah's like a team in the major leagues while I'm still just a high school junior varsity team. I sometimes get the feeling that she might be more than I deserve."

Sarah's face lit up from hearing Chuck's words. She never thought of herself as being better than him. If anything, she was worried that Chuck might be lowering his standards by sharing his affections with someone like her, an agent. But somehow, he still was able to look past what she's done and see something he liked in her.

"Not this again" Ellie remarked, shaking her head.

"Again?"

"Didn't we have this conversation already when you were going out with Jill?"

Chuck realizing this looked up, "I guess we did."

"Ok, repeating myself. Charles Bartowski you are a good man. You're funny, caring, and smart. Except for dumb times like these where you question your value. Any woman would be lucky to have someone like you."

"Thanks but it still doesn't support your case that Jill still got taken from me by Bryce."

"And you're worried now that Sarah will be taken away just like Jill?"

Sarah looked into Ellie's eyes and shook her head aggressively, hoping that she understands the impossibility of that happening.

"Chuck. Sarah's not like Jill. I can see a sparkle in her eyes showing how deeply in love she is with you; that same sparkle wasn't in Jill's. Besides, I always felt that you and Jill were more like buddies rather than a couple."

"And Sarah and I aren't buddies?"

"No Chuck, buddies don't radiate the feelings of affection for each other like you and Sarah do."

Sarah was now blushing. She never had a person like Ellie in her life, a sister willing to stand up and defend her. And just like a sister, she understood what she was feeling better than she did. I guess being able to sense other's feelings runs in the family.

"Really?"

"Yes Chuck, really."

Chuck couldn't help but smile, Sarah was admittedly the best thing to happen to him. Chuck thought back to the time after the whole beta intersect business. Sarah had admitted that she had feelings for him and soon after they agreed to start dating for real.

He thought back to their first date where he took her to the beach where they met after he defused the bomb. The first bomb, not the fake second one with Bryce in it.

"So what are we doing here Chuck? You're not going to make me re-enact our last visit here and make me ask you to trust me?"

"No, no. You already know that I trust you. I wanted to spend time with you here. This place kind of has a special meaning to Ellie and me."

Sarah raised an eyebrow.

"Before our parents left us, they would take us here for the whole day and mom would bring us a picnic basket." Just then Sarah realized that Chuck had brought them a basket as well.

"This place was one of the last places that we were all happy as a family." Now Sarah realized what Chuck was doing. He was opening himself up, sharing himself with her. This was the place of some of his happiest memories and now he was trying to make new memories with her in the same place. She looked up and smiled at Chuck.

"Well, onto the main event of the night." Chuck pulled out a laptop from his bag and plugged in his wireless internet card. Going back through his bag, Chuck pulled out a pair of speakers and plugged them in.

"I realized that you don't know what type of music you like." Sarah looked at him confused. "Unless, you made that fact up on our first date and you choice of music is a matter of national security." Laughing, Sarah shook her head.

"So that's what we're going to do today. I have my extensive music collection here and what I don't have I can download from the internet. Get ready because I'm going to go through each genre and we'll work our way down to the ones you like."

Sarah was taken aback. She totally forgot that she let him know that truth about herself; she really didn't know what music she liked since she was constantly on the go to the next mission.

And although she didn't let anyone know, she always had felt a little left out when the topic of pop culture came up in conversation. Now here he is, helping her feel part of his world. This is so Chuck-like, observing something that others would've missed or disregarded and doing something so sweet with it. No way would Bryce have ever have done something like this.

Chuck had started out with U2, then onto some Coldplay. She liked both but had given the big no when he switched things up and put on Flo Rida. They went on like this for a couple hours; Chuck would put on a song and gauge her reaction to it. Then he would put on his favorite songs and tell her why he liked it and what it meant to him.

Finally, after they listened to dozens of songs and ate more sandwiches than they care to realize, Chuck turned around and grabbed an IPod out of his bag. He attached it and downloaded the songs. When it was done, he handed it over to Sarah.

With a confused look on her face, Sarah asked "What is this for?"

"I thought it was obvious. My present to you; a collection of the music you like and provided in a way that you won't forget any of them. I'm sorry that it's not a more expensive gift like it should've been considering how many times you've saved me."

Sarah couldn't hold back the tears forming in her eyes. "No Chuck, this is the most precious this anyone has given me. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world." Sarah looked at the little gift and brought it close to her heart.

They finished the night hugging each other while watching the waves crash along the shore.

Snapping back to the moment at hand, Chuck looked up and saw his sister leaning across from him with a smile on her face.

"Good. Onto number two."

"What do you mean?"

"Your second problem."

"How do you know I have another problem?" Chuck looked up to see Ellie's face looking right at his. "Ok, fine. I'm just a little apprehensive about the move."

Sarah's head now turned and was looking right into the back of Chuck's. I thought this was what he wanted. Although it was ordered by Beckman, he seemed happy when we were looking around at apartments like normal people.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"There are some things about Sarah that you don't know about" Chuck replied. Instantly Sarah snapped up. No, no, no Chuck. You know you can't let her know anything of our undercover life. You'll be endangering her and the both of us.

"Some things that I didn't want to tell you till now about Sarah and the things I've seen when I'm with her."

Sarah was about to speak up but was stopped by Ellie who shook her head, indicating that it was alright and to let him continue.

No, Ellie. You don't understand what he's going to tell you about me. Of all the people in Chuck's life that Sarah has met, the one she wanted to impress the most was his sister Ellie. She was successful in her career, as well as in her personal life. She was dedicated to her job as a doctor but didn't let it interfere with her life with her fiancée and her brother. Ellie was the type of person Sarah wished she could be. But in one sentence, Chuck could take that all away. Why was he doing this?

"You see Ellie, Sarah…" She held her breath.
