DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sue Thomas FBeye or any of its characters, so if you recognize a person from this program or any other (I might put in a cameo here and there), know that I do not own them at all. All scenarios and people that you do not recognize, I own that, though they might be inspired from something else, but in no way is it copying them. If I am missing something in this copyright notice, please let me know!
KEY: Italics are a memory, and all caps is ASL. Sorry, some of my ASL grammar is bad. I only know a little ASL, so if anyone knows how to properly say any sentences I write in ASL, please let me know, and I will change it to be how it should be!
NOTE: This one's a short-ish story (especially since the last one!), but it's needed (and you'll find out why! It focuses less on a case, and more on personal stories, so get ready for a personal drama wild ride!
NOTE: Does anyone know Tara's childhood? I don't remember any episode elaborating on it, and I can't seem to find any pages online. I want to write about it in a later episode, but I don't want to rewrite something that has been already written. Thanks!
TRIVIA: Who's Lillian and James? First correct answer gets a new chapter!

"Can you just pick a car already?" Maddy asked, exasperated.
It was Sunday afternoon, and Jack, Sue and Maddy were out car shopping for Jack at CarMax.
"How about this one?" he asked the girls, pointing to one car.
"That looks like the same one you have now, just a few years younger." Sue replied.
"What's wrong with that?" he asked, confused.
The girls shook their heads.
"How about we go with something different, something to make new memories in, not trying to remember old ones?" she smiled at him, stepping a few steps closer to him, both looking at each other's lips.
"Oh, just kiss her already!" Maddy said, seeing how they were looking at each other.
Hearing what she said, Jack quickly got out of the predicament and quickly walked over to some radically different cars. Sue followed, a bit confused as to why he left her side.
"How about this?" he said jokingly, walking backwards and waving towards a big black pickup truck with fire decals on it.
"Maddy waved to get Sue's attention so she could see what she said. Yeah, that fits you SOO perfectly. You can speed off to catch criminals with fire on your tail!" she exaggerated her "so" by fingerspellingand adding extra O's. Everyone laughed.

D sat in his recliner reading the Sunday newspaper. "I can now do this every Sunday," he thought to himself.
"I brought you some ice tea," Donna said as she walked into the living room.
He smiled at his wife as he took the glass. "Thanks."
"How are you feeling?" she asked as she sat down on the edge of the couch nearby.
D thought for a moment. "I honestly don't know. One second I'm fine with it, the next, I am depressed."
"You knew this was coming, sooner rather than later." She smiled at him He smiled back.
"I know. It's just hard to believe that it's actually here." He replied, taking a sip of his tea.

"This is it." Jack finally said, after looking through ¾ of the lot. Finally he picked a car. It was a blue crossover truck. Completely different style and color than his original car.
"Perfect!" the two women said, glad he finally made a decision. It wasn't the style of car that either of the girls would've liked, but the color was nice, and the seats were comfortable, and those were the most important things anyways.
"I like it." Sue replied.
"I'm starving." Maddy said. "Can we get some lunch after you buy it?"
Jack nodded, then he started laughing at a completely unrelated topic as they walked. "Do you remember when we had that stakeout in my car, you brought a picnic, and no one came out of that house all night long?"
Sue laughed along with him. "Yeah, we stayed up all night long. Matt with SOG was SO sure someone was in there. Turned out it was a cat and her newborn kittens who went into the garage, not people crawling on the ground!"
All three of them laughed.
"And then," Jack said, partially bent over from laughing. "Then you spilled ketchup all over my light colored jeans, and when we got back to the bullpen in the morning, everyone thought someone was killed on top of me, or I was bleeding like crazy?"
"Hey," she said, laughing just as hard as he was. "I can't help that it came out like a fountain!" she motioned how the ketchup landed on Jack.
"You guys are crazy." Maddy said, not laughing as hard as the two, since she wasn't there to see what they were laughing about.
"There is still a ketchup stain on the carpet of the car." Jack replied, calming down on the laughing.
"How about when we had to pretend to make out just to keep our cover when we were following a friend of yours that you suspected was part of that scam?" Sue laughed.
Jack smiled, but wasn't laughing as hard as she. "Now that's a good memory."
"Yeah, until that police officer gave you a ticket because you were parked in front of a fire hydrant." Sue teased.
Now Jack laughed. "Yeah, that's me. A FBI agent who gets tickets for not following the rules."
"Wow, you really do have a lot of memories in that car." Maddy said, sort-of shocked. She sure didn't have those kind of memories in her own car. Then again, she was still young. She had time.
"This is only a few, wait until I tell you about the time when Sue and I went…"
Sue and Jack kept on telling Maddy stories all throughout the purchase of the new car, the drive to the restaurant in the new car, and during lunch. She loved hearing how her friends had so much fun at the FBI, undercover, and personally.

Myles came into the bullpen Monday morning very matter-of-factly, with a smirk on his lips. Everyone noticed.
"What's up with Mr. Proud over there?" Mya asked Tara.
Tara gave her a glare, then answered, "I don't know."
Myles sat down very proudly, but realizing he forgot to grab something, he got up again and went to get it from across the room. Sue was coming through the door, and Myles held the door open for her, and bowed.
"Why, good morning Ms. Thomas." He replied when she looked at him with a confused look on her face.
"Good morning." She looked at him in shock all the way to her desk, as did Mya, Tara, Sarah and Jack, who also were in the room.
"What's up with you?" Sarah bravely asked.
"I had a date with a beautiful woman last night." He replied proudly.
"Who was the victim?" Jack jokingly asked.
Myles glared at him. "The woman came willingly, and it was Catherine, Randy's temporary replacement." He said as he walked back to his seat.
"That woman?" Any time I walk down the hall and she is there, she just glares at me, and I have nothing to do with her!" Sarah exclaimed.
"To each his own," Sue shrugged and replied, sitting down.
"Mhm, or to Myles his own." Jack whispered towards Sue, knowing only she could see what he said. She replied with giggles.

"Wow, look at this place. Look at all these tall buildings!" Lilian exclaimed.
"Yes, dear, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." James said jokingly. He got a glare from his wife in response.
After a few minutes, Lilian asked, "Do you know where you're going?"
"Yes, dear."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, look, it's right up ahead."
"Ah!" she replied.
