This is a slightly longer chapter and again, my chapters are going to keep getting longer as Chuck and Sarah start a life together.

Disclaimer: I do not own Chuck, but I wish I own Sarah and Ellie

This is not beta'ed', therefore all mistakes are mine

Hope you enjoy!

The newly engaged walked hand-in-hand past the wreckage, a gleaming light amidst the destruction. The large smiles plastered on their faces in complete contrast to their scenery.

As they walked back to Sarah's car, they see a beaming Casey stuffing severely wounded operatives from the Ring into a black security van. "You guys are in for a treat, traitor bastards. You will be stuck in that hole for the rest of your lives, enjoy your last breath of the sweet air of freedom." Slamming the door on their faces.

"Hey Casey!" Chuck yells out.

"What do you want Bartowski?" Casey irately snaps out at Chuck.

"Guess what, I am engaged to Sarah! Any chance for a group hug? For old time's sake?" Casey's glaring look eased after hearing the news.

"Not even if the sky falls and the only hope for humanity's survival is if I hug you. Have you told Beckman yet?" Casey laughs as he pictures the General in his head.

Sarah takes over, "No, but I'm going to hand in my 2 weeks notice tomorrow."

Casey walks toward Sarah and in a surprising gesture reaches his arms out and engulfs Sarah in a massive hug. Casey says sincerely, "Congratulation, too bad you are settling for this geek." Sarah replies, "Nerd, not geek, and he is my nerd now." Chuck simply stared, his jaw dropping to the floor at the sight of Casey displaying such signs of affection. "Bartowski, this window will only open for 5 seconds, no more other opportunities." Snapping Chuck out of his shock, wasting no time to join in.

"Alright, that's enough. Now get off me."

As Chuck and Sarah retreat to a safe distance, Casey says, "Bartowski, you have done an amazing job for your country."


Everything happened very very quickly, Chuck could barely remember the events that happened after his proposal to Sarah, it feels just like yesterday that he finally popped the question.

Now he is talking to the wedding planner with Sarah and Ellie.

After leaving the destruction, Chuck and Sarah immediately drove to see Ellie, who, if possible, seemed even happier and more excited than Chuck and Sarah. She ran inside the house and grabbed a book of wedding ideas that she wanted to, but couldn't use and without missing a beat, started discussing wedding ideas with Sarah and him.

When Sarah handed in her resignation to the CIA and told General Beckman she was no longer working as an agent, they all, surprising, took it very well, considering they were losing one of their best agents. From what Sarah told him, the General said, word for word, "I am very happy for the two of you, to be honest the CIA and I were expecting that as soon as this is over, you would leave. I wish you the best in your future." He never thought the General as a warm person, only thinking about the country and not about each individual.

Chuck put that to the back of his mind, even after 4 years of working with her, he could still not completely understand how her mind works. All he can think of right now, is his beautiful fiance and that he will be with her till the day he dies.

"Chuck, Chuck! Come on, I need your input on this." Feeling a slight kick on his knee from Sarah, "It's not just my wedding, it's also yours."

"Sorry, I was just thinking, what is the question again?"

This time, it is Ellie who kicks him, "Pay attention Chuck, we need to find a location as soon as possible so we can set a date. A beach wedding at your spot would be nice, but it might be kind of repetitive if both of our weddings happened at a beach."

Sarah offers, "I don't really mind where we can have it, but I would prefer to keep it elegant and simple, not somewhere too fancy."

An idea suddenly pops into Chuck's head, "What about right outside Barstow? There is a beautiful grass field right there, I think it would be perfect." This is met by the confused stares from Sarah and Ellie.

Chuck explains, "You know Sarah, the first time we almost... that place, I believe we called it our Black Rock. It means a lot to me, for our relationship and for my family."

Sarah's eyes light up in understanding, Ellie and the wedding planner simply got even more perplexed, "I have no idea what you two are talking about, but if you think that place is perfect then sure, we could have it there. But wouldn't some grass field in Barstow be counted as a public area, owned by the government? How can you use it?"

"Oh trust me, Sarah and I have got some connections."


2 weeks later

It was another quick 2 weeks for Chuck, everything seemed to go by very quickly once the wedding date and location was finalized, it is just like something pressed a fast forward button, but it is probably just the excitement for the wedding.

"Just 3 more months til we're married." Chuck murmurs to himself.

Chuck, Sarah, Ellie and Awesome are registering for gifts in a store. Awesome and Ellie are giving advice to Sarah on what to and what not to register. "No, you don't need this, this is what you need." He hears Ellie reprimand Sarah, while shoving a beautiful elegant place set into Sarah's arms, while Devon takes the rather grubby plate from Sarah's hands.

Chuck slowly wanders away from the group as Ellie and Awesome seem to be shopping for their wedding, not allowing either of them to pick what they want. He suddenly spots a vase with 3 candles painted on it and finds himself increasingly drawn towards it.

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!" He hears a distant call from Sarah, he looks up, looking for that familiar mop of blonde hair, "Sarah?" "Chuck!" A flash of blonde hair caught his eyes, spotting it near the other side of the store. As he walks towards his fiance, he hears that annoying sound that has plagued his last 3 weeks again, 'Beep', 'Beep', 'Beep' and a muffled ringing sound in his ears. "When is this going to stop!" He angrily muses.

It had went on incessantly after the destruction of The Ring, having gone to the CIA doctors several times, who has continually reassured that he is fine, just a result from being unconscious and being so close to a bomb explosion. "It has slightly damaged your hearing, but it will heal with time and will go away eventually, there is nothing we can do to stop it." They said to him each time. Even Sarah has reassured him that this has happened to her before, for her, it usually goes away after a month.

'Beep', 'Beep'. "This is annoying." He says to himself, rubbing his ears in an attempt to stop it. As he reaches Sarah, a massive headache coursed through his head, the pain is so intense he could barely bear it, letting loose an animalistic scream. "Ahhhh! It hurts! It hurts! Make it stop!" Putting his palm on his forehead and fiercely rubbing it, smacking it, in an effort to make it go away. He stumbles over some plates displayed, falling over them. Chuck grabs the sides of his head and screams so hard, it feels like his lungs are going to burst.

Sarah, Ellie and Awesome located the source of the screaming and rush towards him with concern in their eyes.

As they secure him onto the ground to check on him, the pain in his head finally subsided as sweet unconsciousness took him.
