The next morning everyone woke up and dressed quickly, well the girls did, the boys sort of took their time not really thrilled with the schedule that lay ahead of them.
"Maybe I should stay and rest." Chuck tried as pulled on his jeans.
"Nope." Sarah simply replied.
"But I am hurt!" Chuck replied, as he unsuccessfully tried to pull on his shirt, but with the sling it was difficult.
"You will be fine." Sarah laughed, walking over to help him get his shirt on, then continuing to put his shoes on for him.
"Thanks." Chuck replied, a little embarrassed.
"Not a problem." Sarah replied, giving him a kiss on the lips real fast.
"I am sorry about…last night." Chuck suddenly said as they were about to head to the kitchen.
"Chuck, you have nothing to be sorry for. Believe me, all of us agents get the nightmares. I probably wouldn't have been able to talk about mine, but you could, that was brave and I am proud of you." Sarah replied, kissing his cheek.
"Anything for my Sarah Bear." Chuck answered softly, earning a smile from the blonde in front of him.
"Come on, we have a vacation to shop for!" Sarah laughed, dragging Chuck's good arm out the front door as they met Ellie and Awesome in Ellie's larger car.
On the way to the mall the gang quickly stopped for coffee and bagels, deciding eating on the go was better then stopping and waiting in a line. When the pulled into a parking spot at the mall the girls quickly turned and started talking.
"Them or us first?" Ellie asked.
"How about we split up, shop for our men and us, and then meet for lunch at 12?" Sarah proposed.
"Awww I wanted to see Chuck be forced into clothes." Ellie laughed.
"Yea but he has a hard time with shirts right now so really we are just trying on bathing suits and then looking for his size." Sarah replied.
"True, ok I think that sounds like a plan." Ellie answered.
The gang then got out, said their good byes and raced off in different directions.
"Sarah, people are staring." Chuck whined as he was dragged into another store.
"Well you do look pretty beat up." Sarah replied.
"I don't like it." Chuck moaned.
"Oh grow up." Sarah teased back.
She was really enjoying just a normal fun day shopping with Chuck. So far she had been able to update his style a bit, and was just putting the finishing touches on a new wardrobe for him, then she would need a bathing suit. They had just over an hour before noon, Sarah thinking it would be just the right amount of time to get the things they needed and then head to the food court.
"Sarah?" Chuck called, after looking through a few more racks of clothing.
"Hmm?" She called as she looked at shorts.
"Was I a baby last night?" Chuck almost whispered.
Sarah let out a sigh and turned around. She knew Chuck was embarrassed, but really she did not know how to comfort him. Everyone was scared after a nightmare, his was just way more intense.
"No honey, you were not. You were scared. Don't think anything of it, ok?" Sarah asked.
"I will try." Chuck replied.
"Good, now come on lets pay for these things and then go look for a bikini" Sarah laughed.
"I don't think I would look good in one of those, but if you say so." Chuck said with a goofy grin plastered on his face.
Sarah laughed hysterically as they paid and made their way to the last store.
Chuck had sat down in one of the chairs by the dressing rooms, while Sarah was modeling different suits for him to choose. He wasn't much help, every time she walked out in something he looked stunned and said she looked beautiful.
"You know you are supposed to be picking one, not 100." Sarah laughed.
"Well, I like you better in the one for your birthday." Chuck said suggestively, confusing Sarah?"
"I have a birthday suit?" Sarah asked, and then realized what Chuck was implying.
"Naughty Charles." Sarah giggled seductively.
With a crooked finger Sarah beckoned him inside the dressing room. Immediately she pulled him down for a hot kiss.
"Sarah I am not going to be able to stop myself." Chuck sighed out as Sarah's lips traveled down his neck.
"Then I suggest you be very quiet while I rock your world." Sarah replied in between kisses.
"You can't be quiet." Chuck teased.
"Can too!" Sarah pouted.
"Prove it." Was Chuck's simple reply and from there all hell broke loose in dressing room number 8.
After their fun, Sarah, blushing horribly, paid for two of the bikini's she had tried on and then they rushed to the food court, fixing their clothes as they went. Suddenly however Chuck stopped short as a flash immediately raced through his head.
Sarah, noticing Chuck had stopped jogged back to him.
"What's up?" She asked.
"That guy, in the suit, he is planning on blowing up the ball tomorrow during the children's day thingy. There are supposed to be like over 200 kids at this thing Sarah!" Chuck whispered quickly.
"Can I not take you anywhere? You always flash!" Said a somewhat teasing Sarah and she called Beckman.
"Walker here, Chuck just flashed on a Ron Thomas, he is planning an attack at the LA mall, tomorrow where roughly over 200 children will be present." Sarah explained over the phone to Beckman as she led Chuck over to a safer distant from the target.
"Yes ma'am, I understand." Sarah finished while hanging up the phone. "Listen Chuck, I have to go get close to him, to find out where he is staying. Go to Ellie and Devon, call Casey and Carina and have then be waiting outside for us. To your family…anything that makes sense." Sarah directed.
"Get close to?" Chuck whispered, his head dropping in disappointment.
"Chuck, this is my job…" Sarah replied.
"I know." Chuck sighed out, quickly standing so he could go deliver the news to everyone.
"Chuck?" Sarah called.
"Hmm?" Chuck replied turning around.
Quickly Sarah pulled Chuck into a passionate kiss.
"We can talk at home, ok? I promise to be careful, if you promise to trust me, ok?" Sarah asked.
"Of course Sarah Bear." Chuck said tenderly, then quickly he gave his bags to Sarah, who was arranging a pick up, perks of being in the CIA, before rushing off.
"Love you!" Sarah whispered as Chuck raced off.
Brushing the thoughts of how wrong this was from her mind, Sarah then went into Agent mode and swayed over toward Ron Thomas, bumping into him "accidentally".
"Whoops!" Cried out Sarah, allowing the man to catch her from falling, and then flashing her megawatt smile.
She could see his reaction immediately. This mission was going to be a piece of cake.

Chuck quickly pulled out his phone as he walked (making sure Sarah had enough time to seduce Ron) and called Casey, filling him in on what was happening. Once that was done, and a pick up spot was arranged for him and Sarah, Chuck looked for Ellie and Devon around the food court.
"Ellie!" Chuck greeted as he found their table.
"Where is Sarah Chuck?" Devon asked confused.
"Oh, yea um Casey and Carina met up with us, well found us, and Casey said there is an emergency Nerdherd call and well he and I are the one's on call so we have to go. Carina and Sarah are going to come, Casey is going to drive, so Sarah sent me to ask how about we do dinner, tonight?" Chuck rambled out, trying to pull any excuse possible out of thin air.
"Ugh you really need to quit that job Chuck." Ellie grumbled, knowing Chuck had more potential then being an on call herder.
"I am working on it, but I have to go, dinner, 6?" Chuck pressed.
"Of course, we will see you at home." Ellie replied.
"Awesome, see you then." Chuck yelled as he ran for the exit where he would be meeting Casey and Carina.
When he got outside he texted Sarah where to meet them, and then sat on a bench to wait. His mind was going on overdrive. He knew that Sarah loved him, he knew that she would not purposely do anything to hurt him, but here she is going off and flirting with another man! Chuck knew it was for the job, but it didn't make him any less jealous, he wanted Sarah to be his, and he didn't want to share.

"I'm Christine." Sarah said, greeting Ron as he helped her up.
"Ron Thomas, nice to meet you, very nice." Ron grinned in reply.
Sarah giggled and flirtatiously dragged her hand down his arm. "Oh you are quite the charmer."
"I am quite good at everything I must say." Ron suggestively replied, causing Sarah to again let out a school girl type of giggle.
"I am sorry I have to leave, but I am super glad I ran into you. Literally." Sarah said, her hand continuing to draw shapes on his arm.
"Well how about we meet up again later at my hotel. We can have a few drinks and then…see where the night takes us." Ron offered.
"Oh my gosh! I would love that." Sarah smiled, putting her hand on his chest and kissing him on the cheek.
"Good, very good, here is the address say…8?" Ron offered, now wrapping his arms around Sarah's waist and she wrapped her own around his neck.
"Perfect." Sarah whispered, leaning in to kiss him passionately.
During the kiss Sarah tried to pretend this man was Chuck, but he was so aggressive, Chuck was always gentle and loving. When the kiss ended, Sarah simply flashed her trademark smile and seductively said goodbye before rushing off to meet up with the rest of her team.
