Shawn's Cereal

Shawn walked into the police department with a confident grin. He stalked towards the chief's office and opened the door with a smile. "Mr. Spencer, here to collect your check?"

"Indeed I am!"

"Mr. Guster isn't with you?"

"No, he ditched me for some chick. I know I'm the one who set him up with her but-"

"That's quite enough." Chief Vick interrupted while hiding a smile. "Here's your check, if you have nothing else to say you can go."

Shawn opened his mouth to say something in retort but wisely decided against it. When he walked out the door the first thing he saw was Juliet heading towards him. He quickly turned and began to walk towards the exit of the police department.

"Shawn!" Juliet called. Shawn slowly turned around and exclaimed, "Jules! I didn't see you there."

"Right." Juliet muttered in disbelief, "I was wondering if you could help on the case we're working on."

"Oh, I wish I could, but my schedule is just packed! As a matter of fact, I'm going to be late for my…umm…whale watching appointment. Yeah, that's it, gotta go, see ya!" Shawn called as he quickly strode out of the building.

Dammit…Ever since what Juliet had dubbed 'Shawn' Cereal Speech' he had been avoiding her. When would it end, this constant seesawing was overpowering. Every time they took a step forward, they took a step back. She couldn't take it anymore.

Shawn picked up his phone, "Yello?"

"Shawn! Get to the station immediately!"

"What?! Why?" Shawn asked.

"No time!" Juliet exclaimed.

Shawn quickly threw on his jacket and jumped on his motorcycle.

Shawn opened the doors to the station to find an empty building. As he walked a bit further in however, he saw that Juliet was at her desk, looking in his direction expectantly.

"Jules?" Shawn asked. Juliet didn't answer him; instead she opened a drawer in her desk and pulled out a box of Fruit Loops. She flipped it over and opened the bottom, grabbing the prize in the process. She walked towards him and placed a decoder ring in his hands.

"Here's the prize. What are you trying to say Shawn?" Juliet said repeating the same words that she had said a week before.

Shawn hesitated, and looked up into her eyes, those ocean blue eyes of hers, "That I…I…" Shawn took a deep breath, and continued with three completely different words compared to before, "I love you."

Juliet stared at the ground, mustering her courage, "Shawn…I…I think I love you too." When she heard no response she looked up and saw that Shawn was gone. She looked around frantically and felt her heart skip a beat when she heard the growl of a motorcycle as it drove away.
