Bouncing Around

A Supernatural/Psych Crossover Crack-Fic

A/N- To Dark Archer, they got Light Sabers for christmas. Fully functional.

Part Twenty One- That Name...

"You what?!" Shawn hissed as he continued stroking the black rabbit in his arms. Part of him wanted to name it Henry the Eighth.

"I had a secret girl friend, okay, that's why I didn't go out with Willow." Gus groused while putting his own dappled bunny back in the Plexiglas pen.

"H-how could? Why?" Shawn stammered before calming and cooing to his bunny. "Wait a minute! You scheming schemer! That's why you wanted to come down here! So you could keep me distracted with bunny-love!" It was painful to do so but Shawn set Henry in the pen.

"You pick that bunny back up!"

"No! Why wouldn't you tell me about your girlfriend? We're friends! That's what friends do!"

"I didn't want you to scare her off."

"Please." Shawn huffed. "When have I scared off your girlfriends, without justification?"

"Well it doesn't matter now." Gus claimed, retaking a new bunny for comfort. "I haven't heard from her in months. I mean, I was used to her taking off for weeks at a time, I think she might have been a traveling saleswoman for something, but the last time I called her the number was out of service."

"You don't even know what she did?" Shawn was astounded. Gus was just full of surprises today.

"She mentioned it once or twice, she had to travel a lot. I don't remember right now! It wasn't important, and it's not like you've never bounced around from state to state, job to job."

Shawn rolled his eyes. "Do you even know her name? Or did it slip your mind?"

"Ruby."

"...come again?" Shawn forced himself to take a deep breath, then take up a rabbit of his own for added calm. He thought about naming it Dean. Maybe Sam. Those were good, anti-Ruby names.

"Ruby. Her name was Ruby."

Shawn snorted and buried his nose in the sweet shampoo scented fur of Dean-or-Sam. "That name is cursed, Gus. Never trust a woman named Ruby. EVER. She'll just manipulate your feelings until you let the Devil out of hell and then up and die leaving you feeling guilty and used."

"..."

"Cursed. Rubies are not to be trusted. Should make that a commandment or something. 'Thou shall not trust Ruby'. Right between 'Thou shall not have any other Gods before me' and 'Thou shall not eat the last pudding-cup'."

Gus stared at Shawn in wonderment. "You really are upset about this. Aren't you."

"OF COURSE I AM!!! You were going out with RUBY!!!" Shawn breathed and looked into Dean-or-Sam's bright red bunny eyes. You'd know what to do, wouldn't you boy? You'd go right for the throat.

END.

A/N- So. I was sitting in the Pub where the TV's were playing Psych, and my Supernatural buddy was like 'she even looks a little like her!' so yeah... This was actually going to be shorter but it just wrote itself. So Ruby was able to detect Gus's demon-blood and was keeping him as a back-up plan. Good thing she didn't get very far with him. I'm trying to figure something out where Chairman Meow and Little Boy Cat meet and do some heroics.

What you want to bet part of Lucifer's game plan is to distract God with bunnies?
