Hey guys! I started this a while ago, and I knind of hit a wall, so I decided to make it a two shot (it was getting a bit long anyway).

So here is part one! Woo!

P.S. I don't know when I will get part two up because I'm still not done writing Anaconda and I'm trying to finish it before a deadline... Haha

Enjoy!

It was hard to do it, but somehow Shawn and Juliet had managed to part long enough for her to make her flight back to LAX and wait for Shawn's to get in.

For the whole plane ride, Juliet's thoughts were back in Vancouver, listening to Shawn somehow manage to dig himself out of the hole he had jumped into by not letting her into his room. (Though she still didn't know why.) She made a mental note to ask him. As soon as he said that she made him consider buying a car her heart skipped a beat and it felt like a hundred butterflies were floating around in her stomach. After that, she couldn't get enough of him, and now, sitting on a boring plane, without him next to her, it felt weird. Like something was missing.

Once she was at the airport, she went through the motions of picking up her luggage and then went to sit on a bench. Waiting was so boring. She wasn't all there though, still thinking about everything that had just happened. They had finally made it to this, it took them five years, but they made it. Shawn's plane was scheduled to arrive in about an hour, granted Gus would be on it too, but she didn't care. There was no way she was going to wait longer than absolutely necessary to see him again.

*Meanwhile…*

"Shawn! Stop tapping your foot, it's making everything shake!" Shawn's knee had been vibrating constantly for the past half hour, and they were in coach seats due to the fact that Despereaux had paid for their tickets with stolen money. They had to reluctantly switch them from first class to coach.

Shawn instantly planted his foot flat on the ground, resisting the urge to let it hum to life again. "What? I'm not tapping my foot."

"Ugh, you just were." Gus said, placing emphasis on each word and gesturing to Shawn's knee. "Ok, Despereaux is in custody, so it must be Juliet this time. What happened?" Shawn was never one to be this quiet.

"Gus, don't be the 6th sequel to Friday the 13th. Nothing happened." Too bad that was the exact opposite of the truth. Actually everything had happened. Like everything, and then some. And Shawn had never been happier, but Jules said not to say anything about it until they had time to talk.

There hadn't been much time from when the officer had tapped on the car window to her flight to begin with and most of that had been used up. She had been cutting it close to get to the airport with so little time to spare. As soon as they finished she got dressed and literally ran out the door with a smile and a promise to talk more when they were back home.

He chuckled inwardly at the memory, willing the plane to go faster.

There was one thing that he really couldn't wait to ask her about, and that was her little sparkly cherries belly button ring.

After what seemed like days of sitting on that stupid bench, it was finally time for her to get up and go wait over by where Shawn and Gus would come to get their bags.

She found herself craning her neck and holding her breath for a second every time she saw a head of golden brown hair, a black guy, or someone running around, and laughed at herself for being so impatient.

"Calm down, Juliet you're not 16." She scolded herself.

*Meanwhile…*

"Dude! Is that Juliet? Why is she here, wasn't her flight like an hour earlier than ours?" Gus asked, looking through the crowd of people walking toward baggage claim.

"What? Jules is here?" Shawn frantically looked around trying to find her. Once he spotted her, he practically ran over to her.

"Shawn!" She said and giggled as he pulled her into a bear hug. He picked her up a little and her feet left the ground for a split second. He was just about to kiss her when he remembered Gus.

"Shawn! What the—What's going on?" There was definitely something different about the way they were acting toward each other, and Gus had no Idea what was happening here.

Juliet and Shawn instantly broke apart, trying and failing to hide the sheepish looks on both of their faces.

"Nothing at all man." Shawn said. "I'm just happy to see Jules, that's all. It's not like it hasn't happened before, right Jules?" He added, turning to her.

"Um yeah totally." She said, running a hand through her hair and looking to the ground to cover her blush.

"You know what?" Gus said, "I don't want to know. I'm going to get my bags. Are you guys coming?"

"Yeah." They both answered at the same time, resulting in both smiling.

Shaking his head Gus walked over to the belt and stood there incredibly focused on finding his bag. His hands were on his knees and his eyes were fixed on the suitcases passing by.

"Gus, you look ridiculous." Shawn said, following him with Juliet right behind him.

"Shut up Shawn, I don't want to miss it when it comes around." He said, without looking away.

"Gus, if you miss it the first time, it just comes around again, you know that right?" Shawn said, and Juliet tried to keep herself from smirking at Gus's determination.

"You can't be sure of that." He shot back.

"Uh, yeah I can Gus. It comes around again."

"Whatever Shawn, when the airport eats your bag, don't come crying to me."

"Dude, it doesn't even go back under the curtain! It just—you know what? Have fun." Shawn figured there wasn't much of a point in arguing with him anymore so he just let it go. He moved so that he was standing next to Juliet behind Gus's back.

Not waiting for Gus to reply, Juliet took a step toward Shawn, and he wrapped his arms around her, finally closing the distance between their lips.

When they finally broke apart (and with Gus still completely oblivious), they were both out of breath.

"Hi." He said smiling, looking into her eyes.

"Hi." She replied, her brain a little bit muddled from the combination of the kiss and his breathtaking smile.

She stood on her toes to place another short kiss on his lips. She moved to take a step back but Shawn refused to let her go, letting her turn so that his arm was around her waist instead. He wasn't used to being allowed to do this, and he didn't plan on wasting a second of it. Tilting his head down to whisper in her ear so that Gus couldn't hear them, he said "You know, I have a question for you."

"Oh yeah? And what would that be?" She whispered back. She loved the feeling of being in his arms. She had wondered for a long time what this would feel like, and it didn't disappoint.

"Why cherries?" He had an amused expression, not one that suggested he didn't like it in any way.

Blushing, she knew instantly that he was referring to her belly button ring. She opened her mouth to respond but was cut off when Gus finally found his suitcase.

"Got it!" He yelled triumphantly while he pulled it from the others.

"We can talk about it later." Shawn told her quietly with a crooked grin, and then went to grab his bag.

"Good work, buddy." He said to Gus, who looked pleased with himself. It was easier to just go with what he said rather than argue that there was no actual reason to be proud of finding your suitcase.

Shawn dragged his suitcase off of the belt and turned to follow Gus, grabbing Juliet's hand while they walked.

He smiled, and so did she. Their hands felt like they were made to fit together perfectly.

He was about to lean over and whisper something to her so that Gus wouldn't hear it, but instead, Gus turned around, and they barely had time to rip their hands apart before he could notice.

"The cars parked over there." He pointed across the lot to his little blue echo.

They continued walking and when they got to the car, Shawn let Juliet ride shotgun.

Gus was a little surprised that Shawn didn't call shotgun, and that he let her have it without any protest.

The ride home was silent, also abnormal, Gus noted.

Juliet and Shawn both sat there awkwardly figuring saying nothing was the best way not to give anything away.

Then an idea popped into Shawn's head. Smirking, he took out his phone and started typing.

Juliet felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, and took it out to see that she had a message from Shawn.

Shawn: Hey :)

Trying not to smile too much and give them away, she texted a response.

Jules: Hey :)

Gus was focused on the road, completely unaware of Juliet and Shawn's texting conversation.

Shawn: Wanna come over later?

Jules: Mhmm, what time?

Shawn: As soon as Gus leaves!

Jules: Ok make him leave right after he drops you

off haha

Shawn: Haha I will. Come over ASAP, I'll text you

when he leaves, just in case

Juliet: K, we should probably stop texting now,

Gus's gunna notice.

Shawn: K, bye

Juliet: Bye

She realized that she was acting a bit too much like a teenage girl, but she couldn't bring herself to care. Her stomach was filled with the butterflies of a new relationship as she slid her phone back into her pocket.

Reviews?... Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller?...
