700 hits but only 1 review. Am I missing something about these reviews? I keep getting caught up watching old episodes. They bring back some fond memories and things I didn't notice before. I do not own Chuck
Chuck and Sarah are lying peacefully in bed sleeping. Chuck's chest is against her back and his arm is resting around her hip. Her arm is resting on his hand and their fingers are interlaced. The sunlight slowly fills the room to give it a golden tint. The light finally reaches Chuck's face and he smells Sarah's hair. It smells like flowers and Chuck takes in a huge whiff of it and smiles. He slowly opens his eyes to see the soft blonde hair an inch from his face. He feels his fingers as they are touching Sarah's fingers. He wants to see her beautiful face but doesn't want to wake her so he just snuggles a little tighter and tries to go back to sleep.
"Chuck?" Sarah asks half asleep with her eyes still shut.
"Yea?" Chuck responds softly.
"I don't want to get up," Sarah pleads groggily but playfully.
"I can just lay here forever too," Chuck doesn't want to get up either. Chuck groans as he releases his hand from hers and gets out of bed.
"Don't leave me," Sarah pleads.
"I'll be right back." Chuck leaves the room silently. Sarah falls back asleep.
After about twenty minutes, Sarah wakes up again. She feels around the bed for Chuck and he isn't there. She sits up and looks around. Chuck walks in with a tray of food.
"Hey, I thought you might be hungry," Chuck says with his patented smile. Sarah smiles back a smile that says you are the best in the world.
Chuck places the tray on Sarah's lap. There is a bowl of cereal, a bowl of fruit, a glass of orange juice, a cup of coffee, some pancakes, and some eggs.
"I don't really know what foods you like so I just made a little of everything," Chuck sincerely explains.
"You really didn't have to do this, but I do love fruit and eggs," Sarah playfully responds. Chuck sits next to her and admires her stunning beauty.
"I guess you won't be eating th—" Chuck reaches for the pancakes but Sarah slaps his hand jokingly. She looks at him with a cute, selfish look.
"I never said I didn't like pancakes," Sarah jokes. Chuck laughs. Sarah hands him the pancakes. "Don't eat them all," she warns playfully.
"You want a bite?" Chuck asks sincerely.
"A bite of you. Rhaar!" Sarah purrs like a tiger with her hand arched like a cat. Chuck smiles almost a naughty grin that Sarah laughs at.
Chuck feeds her a piece and she didn't expect him to feed it right to her mouth. She smiles as she chews the pancake. "That was delicious." Chuck smiles back. They then continue eating with smiles on their faces.
After they are done, Sarah kisses Chuck passionately. "Let me return the favor," Sarah says flirtatiously with a naughty grin on her face.
"Well, it's only fair," Chuck smirks.
"You are such an ass," Sarah pushes Chuck playfully realizing he planned out making the breakfast so he can 'get some.' Chuck just laughs as he embraces her and they hug.
A few hours later, Chuck is worrying about his mother. He doesn't know if there was any information on her from the last mission.
"I really hope they find her," Chuck pants.
"They'll find her. Please don't worry," Sarah tries to soothe Chuck.
"Should I just call Beckman and ask?" Chuck is fiddling with his iphone.
"No, she will contact us. Lets do something that will distract you from her."
"Like what?" Chuck asks as if there is nothing that can distract him.
"Lets go shopping!" Sarah exclaims happily.
"Alright…" Chuck hesitantly answers.
They are shopping at a Large Mart. Chuck is pushing the cart while Sarah holds onto Chuck's bicep.
"See? This isn't so bad," Sarah suggests.
"I guess you're right," Chuck concedes. He cannot complain having the love of his life around his arm doing normal things for once.
"Lets go try some samples!" They head for the samples as Chuck's phone rings. He checks it and it shows Casey's face.
"Looks like we have a mission," Chuck answers the phone to talk to Casey. "What's up?"
"There is a mission. Meet me at Castle in twenty!" Casey informs Chuck.
"It might take a little longer than twenty minutes," Chuck squeaks out.
"Get here as quick as possible!" Casey grunts.
"Alright," Chuck says but the phone already has the hang-up tone going. "He hung up on me," Chuck complains jokingly to Sarah.
"Well?"
"We need to go back to Castle."
"Lets go!" They leave the half full cart and head for the exit.
They make it to Castle and Casey is waiting. Casey looks a little angry but when does he not?
"You're late," Casey grunts.
"I told you it would take longer than twenty minutes," chuck pleads his case.
"Get in here! Beckman is waiting!" Casey growls. Chuck and Sarah stand at attention looking at Beckman on the monitor.
"I'm glad you can join us," Beckman says sarcastically.
"Sorry General," Chuck apologizes for the both of them.
"The intel you acquired yesterday revealed your mother's location," Beckman states knowing Chuck is only there for his mother.
"Where is she?" Chuck cuts her off worried but excited at the same time.
"If you would let me finish, she is in the building you gathered the intel from."
"Why didn't we just get her while we were in there?" Chuck asks angrily.
"We didn't know she was in there until after looking at the intel," Beckman responds disliking Chuck's attitude.
"I'm sorry, what do you need us to do?" Chuck calms down and asks sincerely.
"I was just informing you, but my men have it under control. I am sending in a strike team to clear the building and take any hostages."
"So, we just sit here and wait?" Chuck's angers slowly starts to come out again.
"No, Bartowski. I have another mission for you."
Chuck is about to yell at Beckman but Sarah comforts Chuck and calms him down. "I only became a spy again so I can save my mom. We are not your lap dogs."
Beckman looks at Chuck with squinted eyes. After a moment of silence, Beckman says "Does that mean you are quitting again?" Beckman has a bit of despair in her voice.
"Yes, general," Chuck simply states.
"I am finished too then," Sarah says immediately after; being obedient to Chuck. She flashes Chuck a smile that says I will always be with you.
"It is too bad we are losing such valuable assets, but you are inclined to your freedom," Beckman knows Chuck only wants his mother back and she isn't going to force him to work for the Government.
"General, I will accept the mission," Casey says trying to stay loyal to his country.
"I'm sorry Colonel, but this mission requires a team," Beckman knows Casey cannot do the mission without any backup.
"I request to be transferred to then," Casey requests almost with no emotion. He doesn't want to leave Chuck and Sarah because they've been through so much together but he is a patriot and cannot let his country down.
Chuck and Sarah are appalled by his decision for a transfer. They know Casey is patriotic and loyal to his country, but can he just leave his daughter who he slowly rekindled his relationship with. They both look at him in confusion and surprise and a hint of sadness. Casey looks at them and grunts with a hint of anguish.
"I will arrange for you to move to D.C. for further instructions tomorrow morning," Beckman explains as if she was talking to Casey alone. "That is all." Beckman reaches for the end button but Chuck speaks up.
"General, ma'am, I was wondering if you can give us jobs to work at the Orange-Orange. We can use the job until we find new ones; we can protect Castle for the time-being…" Chuck rambles reasons they should have the job.
"Alright, just to keep suspicions low," Beckman agrees regretfully.
"Also Morgan?" Chuck squeaks.
Beckman purses her lips in annoyance.
"Well, he needs a job and I told him I would ask you. You know how the economy is and…" Chuck starts to ramble again.
"Fine! I'll send the details. You'll start tomorrow!" Beckman agrees not wanting to hear Chuck ramble again.
"Thank you, thank you so much, he'll be—" Beckman ends the feed as Chuck tries to thank her for letting Morgan have the job.
"I guess we can go back to being normal people again," Chuck jokes.
"Well, you did promise Ellie and I want you…" Sarah unconvincingly responds.
"Do you really want to quit?" Chuck asks seriously after hearing her apathetic response.
"I want to be with you! If you quit, I quit," Sarah looks deep into Chuck's chocolate eyes.
"Don't give up your career for me," Chuck feels horrible ruining Sarah's career.
"We'll talk about this later. Lets go buy some groceries," Sarah suggests hoping to take Chuck's mind off of Sarah's career.
"Uh, alright, Casey you wanna come?" He really wants to ask Casey how he could just leave all that he has made for himself behind but knows Casey is not a man of words.
"Are you serious?" Casey looks a Chuck like he is an idiot.
"Right… the whole I am a killing machine thing," Chuck jokes. Casey just grunts as Sarah and Chuck leave Castle.
"I need to tell Morgan the good news first."
"That's fine, but don't forget about groceries," Sarah says jovially.
They head back to their home to talk to Morgan.
"Morgan, bud!" chuck exclaims. "Looks like we'll be working together again!"
"She said yes? Beckman said yes?" Morgan is surprised that she would agree.
"Yea."
"This is so awesome!" Morgan hugs Chuck. Sarah giggles at his excitement. "Bartowski and Grimes back in action! Starring Charles Bartowski, Morgan Grimes and featuring the always stunning Sarah Walker!" Chuck laughs as Sarah blushes a little.
"Well, we're going to buy some groceries. Anything you need?" Chuck asks Morgan.
"I think I'm good," Morgan says still excited about the job.
"Alright…" Chuck says as he and Sarah walk out the door.
"You know, you're going to have to train us," Chuck jokes to Sarah.
"I think a five-year-old could learn by himself," Sarah responds with jokingly. They walk off laughing.
They arrive back home with the groceries in hand. They are walking through the patio when they are stopped by Ellie.
"How's the search for mom?" Ellie asks almost apathetically. She hates her mother for leaving them. At least their father had a good reason.
"Actually, quite good. Hopefully they will rescue her pretty soon," Chuck has an optimistic sound to his voice.
"Does that mean you can quit again?" Ellie doesn't forget promises.
"Actually, we just did. We are normal people just like you and Devon. Well, you are doctors and we are yogurt salesmen," Chuck jokes.
"Really, I'm making dinner tonight. I would love you both to join us," Ellie is ecstatic and hugs both of them at the same time.
"Group hug?" Devon appears out of nowhere and hugs them. He really has no idea why they are hugging.
"They quit the spy life," Ellie explains to Devon with excitement.
"Awesome!" Devon looks at Chuck with satisfaction.
Chuck looks at Sarah and Sarah smiles back. So we'll see you at six?" Chuck flashes his famous smile at Sarah and then to Ellie. "Would you mind if Casey comes too?" Chuck feels bad that this is will be the last time they see Casey.
"Definitely, bring him along," Ellie agrees happily. She thinks the more the merrier.
"I'll go ask him. Hopefully he hasn't left yet."
"Why? Where is he going?" Ellie sounds concerned.
"He is being reassigned, he is supposed to leave tomorrow," Chuck says a little depressed.
"This will have to be an extra-awesome night then," Devon says feeling for Casey.
Chuck and Sarah both wait outside Casey's door. This is something they need to do together. Chuck knocks and they wait patiently. Casey opens the door after a few seconds.
"Do you need someone to listen to your lady feelings?" Casey says with his normal angry tone. "I need to finish packing my stuff."
"Do you want to have dinner at Ellie's tonight?" Chuck asks optimistically. "This is your last night and you should celebrate with us."
Casey is not a man who needs to be with other people. He has spent most of his life by himself but he'd rather eat Ellie's amazing cooking than an army ration or a TV dinner. "Fine," Casey answers after the brief pause.
"Great! Tonight at six." Casey then shuts the door so he can pack more. Chuck and Sarah head back for their place.
"You can still be a spy while I stay here," Chuck is serious.
"I want to be with you. That is all!" Sarah hates opening up to people.
"Ellie made ME promise, not you. You can—"
"I want to be spies TOGETHER!" Sarah doesn't want to spend days to weeks away from Chuck.
"I want to be a spy too, but I promised Ellie," Chuck questions himself for a second "You know what? I can tell Ellie we want to be spies," Chuck suggests.
"You promised though," Sarah desperately wants to be spies together but doesn't take the promise lightly.
"I know but I am old enough to make decisions for myself," Chuck explains as if he is an 18 year old trying to do what he wants but his parents won't let him. "I am not the same guy I was three years ago! I finally have the girl, I had the job, I have the family and friends!" Chuck almost sounds angry like Ellie had been holding him back.
"You think you can reason with her?" Sarah wants them to be spies together so bad.
"Yes!" This is an emphatic yes. "I'll tell her after dinner. Then maybe Casey will want to stay too."
"I love you!" Sarah jumps into Chuck's arms as they hug and she kisses him on the lips softly.
Chuck and Sarah are getting dressed at their place. Chuck is buttoning his dress shirt as Sarah looks at Chuck.
"How do I look?" She softly asks.
Chuck stutters looking at Sarah's perfection. "You look amazing. You always look amazing. Anything you wear you look amazing in," Chuck says sweetly but with an obvious tone. Sarah smiles thinking of when she asked him back when Bryce was still alive.
"How do I look?" Sarah asks nicely with a stunning red dress on. Chuck and Bryce are fixing their ties, looking at the mirror. Chuck is clipping his clip-on bow tie as Bryce ties a real one. They both look over at her.
Chuck shows a quick look of awe and love. For a second, his heart stops as he admires the most beautiful woman in the world ask if she looks good. Is she serious? She is stunning, glowing, magnificent, beautiful. There aren't enough words to express her beauty.
Chuck quickly realizes they are just 'co-workers' and she is still in love with Bryce so he totally rejects her.
"Good," Chuck simply states knowing how much it hurts him not to say anything more. He looks over at Bryce and back to Sarah. "Yea, good," Chuck tries to show he hasn't fallen in love but failed miserably. He walks away because he cannot contain himself looking at Sarah.
He comes back a second after because he clumsily forgot his jacket. "Red's not really my color… Salmon; or whatever it is," Chuck neglects his inner feelings from coming out.
Sarah almost wants to say something to cheer Chuck up but doesn't want Bryce to think she is compromised by falling in love. She looks at Chuck almost desperate for a sweet 'Bartowski' response that always cheers her up. Chuck denies her this and she quickly gains her composure as she looks at Bryce.
Bryce just has a look that says he is ready to do the mission. He doesn't even admire her beauty and she loves how Chuck always does.
Sarah and Chuck make their way to Ellie's. They knock at the door and Devon greets them.
"I hope you like spaghetti bolognese," Devon always has that 'everything I say sounds awesome' tone.
"That sounds delicious," Chuck smiles as they walk to the table. They take their seats as they hear a knock on the door. Devon answers it.
"Ahh… John Casey! Glad to have you. Take a seat," Devon nicely allows Casey to join them.
Dinner is just about finished as they all finish up their meals. Devon taps a spoon against his wine glass.
"Here's to friends and family! And John, you'll always have a place here in Burbank!" Awesome delivers a heart-warming speech. Everyone raises their glasses looking at Casey sympathetically.
Dinner is over. Everyone has scattered. Chuck stayed to help with the dishes and talk to Ellie about the whole 'not quitting' thing. Sarah left to tell Casey that they want to stay as spies and want him to stay with them.
"Ellie, I need to talk to you about my job," Chuck is sincere and direct.
"What is it?" Ellie isn't sure she wants to hear what Chuck has to say.
"I am going to be a spy," Chuck simply says.
"Way to be awesome!" Devon says as he overhears the conversation. He high-fives Chuck.
"It is not awesome! I thought you quit?" Ellie expresses her concern for Chuck.
"I did but I want to go back. This is what I was made for," Chuck starts to argue although Ellie hasn't started yet.
"You, no, I don't want to lose you like we lost dad!" Ellie is angry with fear of losing her brother.
"I need to start making choices in my life and this is one of them," Chuck convincingly states.
"I, uh, you can't. You have Sarah to look after and *ahem* Morgan," Ellie doesn't want to give up. She thinks she is saving Chuck's life.
"You cannot change my mind. I am doing this. I want this. Sarah wants this." Chuck argues with passion because this is something he truthfully wants.
"I, you do what you have to, but—" Ellie starts to give in.
"I will always love you and don't worry, nothing is going to happen," Chuck flashes his smile and it almost makes everything alright.
"Please, don't let anything happen to my baby bro, or Sarah," Ellie's eyes start to tear up.
"I won't!" Chuck says boldly. "I promise!"
"Fine…" Ellie just wants Chuck to be safe. Chuck hugs her showing everything is alright.
Sarah is waiting in the patio for Chuck hoping for the good news. Finally Chuck steps out and sees Sarah. Sarah looks up and they lock eyes.
"How did she take it?" Sarah asks with curiosity in her voice.
"Good, I think. She said it was alright," Chuck hugs Sarah.
"Did you talk to Casey?" Chuck asks not wanting Casey to leave them.
"Yea, he said he would stay if we become spies again," Sarah happily explains making Chuck happy too.
"This is great. We should probably tell Beckman."
"Good idea."
"Sorry about the time General, but we would like to keep our jobs," Chuck sounds a little uneasy. Chuck and Sarah are holding hands and Beckman eyes them distinctively.
"Changing your minds again?" Beckman is tired of these quit/not quit shenanigans (not Beckman's exact words).
"Yes. We decided we want to be spies and Casey said he would stay if we can stay a team," Chuck glances at Sarah for a second to see if her reaction.
"It would make it easier than to relocate him," Beckman thinks out loud leaning towards allowing them to stay. Chuck and Sarah look at each other in anticipation. "Fine, I'll inform Casey that he will be staying."
Chuck tries his hardest not to jump for joy. He lifts his arms a little in excitement but catches himself.
"Thank you General," Sarah says excitedly.
"Does that mean you will accept the mission I offered earlier?"
"Sure, we'll do it," Chuck responds almost cutting off Beckman.
"Alright, I need you to escort an official and guard him."
"We're going to be bodyguards?" Chuck asks with the expression that it is an easy job.
"This is not a job to take lightly," Beckman scolds Chuck, and he quickly stands straight in fear. "I will explain the details at Castle in an hour." The feed ends and Chuck and Sarah look at each other inside Chuck's room.
They both smile their high-wattage smiles at each other feeling great. They get to stay together, get to keep the job they love, get to keep the team together with Casey. This is one of the greatest moments of their lives and it only got better (if you know what I mean).
I know there was no action in this really but I just wanted to write about how awesome the other elements of the show are.
The next chapter might take a little longer than usual to post. I have been caught up in another story.
I think I may have to finish this story soon because I dragged it on too long and need to wrap it up. Probably only two or three more chapters left until the SERIES FINALE!
