Chapter 1
Author's Note: Okay so I just watched the episode where the guy, Fredrick sees Katherine's (is it a K or C?) car but she's not there…u know with the siren? Anyways at the time it was the newest one and I was thinking about how in the next episode they would be trying to figure out where she went and Bam! The idea hit me. They should hire Shawn and Gus! Also, even though I love Shawn and Jules together, Juliet's not in this story (that I've planned so far), so I thought it would be interesting if…well you'll see. It's Shawn and a girl, don't worry. And it's not Hansel. Or Gretel. I forget which ones the girl. This takes place after the siren episode of Once Upon a Time, and after the…okay well just picture an episode where Shawn and Gus aren't dating anyone. It's after that one. I'll think of an episode sometime. Oh, it's after Dual Spires. Not necessarily right after, but they have been there and done that already. Oh, and in case you're not familiar with either shows, here's a briefing of the characters that will be in this chapter: Emma-sheriff of Storybrooke, birth mom of Henry, and friend and roommates with Mary Margret (meet later). Used to live in Boston, where she was a bounty hunter kind of. Fairy tale wise she's Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, who was sent as a baby to our world to protect her from this curse the evil queen did. She's supposed to save all the fairy tale characters according to a prophecy. Regina-the mayor, and Henry's legal mother. Fairy tale wise she's the evil queen who did this curse to send all of the fairy tale characters to our world, but only her and someone else remember who they are. Henry- 10 yr. old birth son of Emma, legal son of Regina, has this book that tells the whole story of the curse, so he has the whole fairy tale thing figured out. Has theory that because of the curse, no one can leave or enter Storybrooke. Of course, almost no one believes him. Katherine- was married to David (u will meet him in next chapter) then got divorce, kind of. She was leaving Storybrooke to go to a law school when she had an accident. Fairy tale wise she's a princess, the daughter of King Midas, who was supposed to marry Prince Charming, but didn't because both of them were in love with someone else. She was in love with Fredrick. Fredrick- don't know much about him except that he found Katherine's car on the side of the road, but no Katherine. Fairy tale wise he's a knight that Katherine was supposed to marry then he accidentally touched her father, King Midas (turn everything to gold guy) while trying to protect him, and turned to gold. But he turned back to normal (long story). And for Psych: Shawn-a hyper observant guy (think Sherlock Holmes) that everyone thinks is a psychic(also long story), and runs a psychic detective agency called "Psych" with his best friend Gus. Only Gus and his dad know his secret. Gus-a pharmaceutical salesman who has a part-time detective agency with his best friend Shawn. Note: Sorry this took so long. These are the people who will be in this chapter, every chapter I'll introduce the people who will be in it. Unless I've already introduced them. K, so without further ado, I present to you…Chapter 1!
(Emma) "Gone? She wasn't there?" I asked the guy, Fredrick. "Her car was there, on the side of the road, and it looked like there had been an accident. The air bag was even blown up, but there was no Katherine." He explained. Where I used to live, if someone had said that, we would've thought they were drunk. But then again, I'm in Storybrooke, Maine now. I live here, and I'm the sheriff. "Could you show me the car?" I asked him. He nodded as we headed off.
*2 days later at Henry's school…*
(Henry) "Emma!" I said excitedly when I saw her. "Hey kid." She said, walking up to me. "Emma, is it true? Is Katherine gone?" I asked her curiously. She frowned. "How'd you know?" I shrugged. "It's a small town. Word travels fast." Emma nodded. "Yeah. She was leaving Storybrooke-" "I told you bad things happen to anyone who tries to leave." I interrupted her. "Right…" she said, staring into space. I knew she still didn't believe me, not completely, but she did notice how strange this town was and how the people of Storybrooke resembled the fairy tale characters. Emma started again. "Anyways, I've been looking at her disappearance for two days, and nothing. After talking with Mary, I've decided to enlist the help of some…detectives."
(Emma) Flashback
"I've tracked down and hunted people all my life, Mary. I don't need their help." I stated. "I know, but…it's just…I know you can do it, but it's not so awful to ask for help." Mary insisted. "Yeah, when they're working with you. These people are all the way in Santa Barbra." I pointed out. Mary sighed. I knew she was still bummed out about everyone finding out about her and David's relationship, and frankly she had a right to be. "Emma, please. Just do it. For me?" I raised my eyebrow. I sensed there was more then met the eye, but frankly, I needed the help. "Fine." I said, giving in. "Great! I'll send the email." She said as she walked out. (End of Flashback.)
"But you said that was your job before, finding people!" Henry exclaimed. "I know, but the people I chased usually ran to Las Vegas or something, and they left a trail. Katherine didn't leave a trace." I said. "Well what makes you think these detectives can do it then?" he asked. "Well, one of them's a psychic. I'm hoping he might be able to pick something up…" Henry, doubtful, asked, "You believe in that stuff? "Hey, you're the one who thinks everyone here's a fairy tale character." I pointed out. He frowned. I sighed. "I don't know if he's a fake or something, but frankly, I need the help. And Mary Margret wanted me to." "Well they wouldn't be able to enter anyways." He insisted stubbornly. "Me and…the new guy did." I said. I still didn't know his name. He said it was Autumn W. Booth, but I didn't trust him. "You're different. And maybe the new guy is a fairy tale character that comes to the kingdom, that's why he arrived." I rolled my eyes. On rare occasions, his theory made some sense. But not here. "Sorry kid. A life's at stake. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Besides, what do you have against them anyways?" I asked him. "Nothing yet." I heard him say. As I walked away with a simple "See ya later.", I thought I heard him say: "These sure are desperate times." After he yelled back "Bye!"
Psych Headquarters
(3rd person) "Hey, check it out. We have an email for a case." Shawn said excitedly. "Really?" his partner, Gus, asked. "Yep. In…Storybrooke." He laughed. "Dude, tell me that doesn't sound like a place where a bunch of fairy tale characters would live." He said. Gus stared at him. "No Shawn, it doesn't." "Look, take away the r in brook and the e at the end and you have Storybook." Gus sighed. "Where's Storybrooke? I've never heard of it before." Shawn looked at the email. "Maine." He said simply. "No Shawn. I am not going all the way to Maine to some small town. Do I need to remind you about Dual Spires?" he stated. "C'mon man! It'll be fun! It's not like we have any cases." He paused. Usually, in the movies, this would be where the chief would call with a case. But when nothing happened, he continued. "Please?" "Let me see the email." Gus said, shoving Shawn out of the chair. "You could've asked, you know. I was about to get out!" Shawn whined. Gus' eyes widened. "We're going." He said simply. "Why? Is there a cinnamon festival?" Shawn asked. Gus looked sharply at Shawn. "No. It's just…" This time Shawn shoved Gus out of the chair to look at the computer. A picture that came attached to the email was open. It was of a white-skinned woman with black pixie-cut hair standing next to a sign that read "Welcome to Storybrooke, Maine." "Hmm. She's not bad, but with you're luck, she'll probably end up being the murderer." Shawn joked. There had been at least two times where Gus was attracted to a woman in the case, and she usually ended up being the murderer or something. "That's not funny Shawn." Gus said. "Yes it is." Shawn insisted. "Let's just go." He said, grabbing his jacket and the keys to his blue Echo company car. "Hey, wait for me buddy!" Shawn said as he ran after Gus.
Note: K, well, the characters aren't really developed yet, I'm having a hard time portraying Shawn and Gus, partly because they're always making these jokes and I usually haven't seen the movie or whatever they're referring too. Anyways, let me know what you think! P.S. You don't need to have seen both shows for this to make sense, but it's definitely better if you have. At least try watching the preview for the other show so you have a basic idea. K, well, bye!
