A/N: Took me a bit longer than planned but here it is, chapter 1. To quote the infamous Rebecca Black: 'We, we, we, so excited.' At any rate, I hope you enjoy this chapter tremendously more than the song.


- 4 weeks earlier -

"o'Hara, can you come into my office in a minute?" the Chief asked.

Juliet, who had been busy ignoring Shawn sitting on the corner of her desk for the past fifteen minutes, looked up from her paperwork and said "Sure Chief, I'll be right there."

Shawn on his part, was getting more and more impatient with every fruitless attempt to get Juliet's attention. He then decided it was time for a more...direct approach and placed his elbows on the surface of her desk, lowering his head until it was on the same level as Juliet's.

Shawn pouted his lips and after sighing once deeply said: "Juuules...?"

"What is it Shawn?" Juliet said, without looking up from her work.

"You still haven't answered my question." Shawn said, sounding slightly annoyed with his secret girlfriend's lack of attention.

Juliet looked up and was surprised to find Shawn's face only twelve inches away from hers. He was still doing his best to remain looking annoyed but when Juliet looked into his eyes, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"You asked me a question?" Juliet asked confused. "I did three times already Jules, but you were clearly too busy with ignoring me." He said while putting on his best 'sad puppy face.' Juliet chuckled when she saw his changed expression "Aww Shawn, don't look so sad, you know I can't stand it. This is exactly how you convinced me to make you pancakes last night."

"But they were yummy though, right Jules?"

"Shawn, it was 2 am in the morning!"

"I couldn't help it, you know how hungry I get after exercising." Shawn said and laughed when he saw that she finally understood what he meant with 'exercising.'

"Really Shawn, exercising, that's what you call what we did last night?"

"It was at least as exhausting as exercising yes and if I remember correctly, you have quite the stamina Jules." Shawn said playfully and grinned when he saw Juliet flushing a faint colour of red.

They were silent for a little while, both recalling some of the events from last night. Shawn was the first one to speak again: "What were we talking about again? Oh right! My question, I was wondering if you wanted to come over tonight and this time...- he paused a second for the dramatic effect - you get to pick the movie."

Juliet got up from behind her desk and said: "Wow...I get to pick the movie? How could I resist such an offer? I'll be at your place around 8 okay?"

"It's a date!" Shawn exclaimed happily, getting up from Juliet's desk as well.

Juliet smiled and brushed her hand against his for just a second before walking into the Chief's office.

Shawn (obviously) followed her through the door but was stopped halfway by the Chief herself: "We won't be needing your serviced today, Mr. Spencer."
Shawn's smile disappeared: "Really Chief? You are shutting me out? I am so hurt."

As an answer, the Chief walked into her office and closed the door, leaving Shawn standing on the other end.

Shawn wasn't one to give up that easily however and ran over to the window of the office and began squinting through the blinds. He soon noticed that the Chief and Juliet weren't the only ones in the office, a man was present there as well. He couldn't be more than 35 years old, had short black hair and was dressed smart-casual. Shawn suddenly saw Juliet coming into his view and saw how she ran over to the mysterious man and how she hugged him tightly. "Who the hell is that guy?" Shawn muttered to himself, annoyed that he only had such a limited sight of the situation in the office. He turned his attention to the room again but found himself staring directly into the eyes of the Chief who simply shut the blinds with a disapproving look.

"You know who that guy is Spencer?" a voice behind him said, causing Shawn to jump slightly. He quickly regained his composure and turned around, saying: "Wow there Lassie, you actually almost scared me there for a second and to think I hadn't even seen your hair yet!"

"Very funny Spencer, now, you know who that man is or not?" Lassiter asked demandingly.

"I have a pretty good idea yes, though now I think about it...it seems rather unrealistic to expect that the Chief finally came through for me and is now hiring that man to be my very own pineapple smoothie bringer." Shawn said and, when he saw Carlton was losing interest and about to turned around again, quickly added: "But enough about my hopes and dreams, what is really interesting is that you, head detective Carlton Lassiter, are being kept out of the loop."

Shawn half expected Lassiter to walk away but instead, a grin appeared on his face: "You can try to make fun of me all you want Spencer, but, as usual, I know more than you since I know who that man is, or at least, what he used to be." Lassister said cryptically.

"Oh, I would thou speak'st clearer, oh wise old man!" Shawn said theatrically, upon which Lassiter's face turned sour once again and he replied matter-of-factly: "I have no intention what so ever to provide a civilian with information about matters he has no business knowing."

After his little speech Carlton instantly turned around and began making his way back to his desk.

"If you tell me, I promise I won't sing 'take on me' to you every time you walk into the station for at least a month!" Shawn shouted to the back of Lassiter, sounding slightly desperate. This made Lassister stop in his tracks. "Two months."

"Five weeks and three days it is." Shawn agreed. Carlton hesitated for two seconds before grunting something inaudible and walking over to Shawn again.

"Okay here's the deal, the guy's name is Peter Wilde and so happens to be Juliet's ex partner, back when she was working as a junior cop in Miami."

"So then what is Juliet's former partner doing here?" Shawn asked. Lassiter shrugged his shoulders: "Your guess is as good as mine."

Shawn ferverously shook his head: "That must be some terrible guesses if they were to be as bad as yours, Lassie-face."

Carlton opened his mouth to reply but right that moment the door of the Chief's office opened and Juliet, the Chief and the man called Peter came walking through. Shawn didn't waste any time walking to them and introducing himself to Peter: "Pleased to meet you...Peter isn't it? My name is Shawn Spencer, I am the resident psychic to the SBPD. So, what brings you here all the way from - he paused a moment for the tensions to build - sunny Miami, Florida?"

Before Peter could answer however, the Chief gestured him to keep walking and she said to Shawn: "Not now Mr. Spencer, we have important police matters to attend to." Juliet saw that Shawn was about to protest so she leaned a bit closer to him and said: "We'll talk later okay?" She looked at him intensely. "Uhm..sure Jules." Shawn mumbled, giving her a questioning look. Juliet smiled appreciatively and then followed the Chief and Peter to the exit of the station.

Shawn watched her until the last of her blond hair had disappeared around the corner. "What is going on here exactly?" Shawn muttered.


A/N: Interesting question indeed Shawn! If only there was someone out there who knows where this story is heading... (*insert evil laugh here*)

Anyways, reviews are like Shawn declaring he is thinking about getting a car: they both fill me with fluffy happiness!
