1. Chapter 1 by Shyactress [Reviews - 34] (857 words)
Ok, I am a very picky person and get annoyed when things don’t go my way… which they rarely do. Lol, now that I’ve made myself sound like a horrible person, I’ll get to my point. I was that I was looking for a storyline to preoccupy me until the 27th, but none of them were what I needed to control my fix. So I decided to do what I told myself I wouldn’t; I decided to write my own. I am actually winging this as I go along, truthfully as I sit typing this out, I have no idea where this story is going to go. I’m starting it off with tweaking the end of Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark and there are going to be tons of references to episodes. Oh and it is most definitely SHULES!
2. Chapter 2 by Shyactress [Reviews - 11] (1069 words)
Ok, so I can't sleep and no one gave me any ideas, so I decided to just take it this way and see where it leads.

3. Chapter 3 by Shyactress [Reviews - 11] (416 words)
This is really short, but I wanted to get it up before I get back to school and will be busy the next 2 days.

4. Chapter 4 by Shyactress [Reviews - 6] (961 words)
There is a small spoiler from 4.11, but it doesn't really "spoil" anything. I want to thank everyone for reading and reviewing, you guys are great! I have gotten a lot of great ideas from them too! Thanks!

5. Chapter 5 by Shyactress [Reviews - 9] (898 words)
hehehe. So I was contemplating packing, and mindlessly staring off into space when the outline of the rest of the story appeared right before my eyes. It was a amazing moment. And it makes me happy. hehehe :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Psych or any of it's characters. :(
6. Chapter 6 by Shyactress [Reviews - 9] (1479 words)
This was SUPER difficult to write. I HOPE you like it. The plot is going to get more interesting in either the next chapter or the one after it. :)

7. Chapter 7 by Shyactress [Reviews - 9] (1312 words)
Sorry, life got in the way. So, right now I have to get through the plot building, but soon there is gonna be a big party that adds a big twist. *evil cackle* Expect it in 2 or 3 chapters :)
8. Chapter 8 by Shyactress [Reviews - 11] (2117 words)
Ok, I had mixed reviews on Shawn sleeping with Juliet's friends. Personally, I added that in there because I thought it showed that he has matured some. Because, we have seen that Shawn was a player, and this was reminding us of that as I juxtaposed it against the fact that we all know he would never play Juliet.
So...this chapter...sadly, it's based off a true story of my friend...except we stopped her before she could start singing (Thank God), and it was a break-up not w/e you call happened between her Juliet and Shawn...
Anyway, on with the story.
DISCLAIMER: Psych is not mine.
9. Chapter 9 by Shyactress [Reviews - 5] (885 words)
So I know I've been bad, and haven't updated in three weeks. I've been SUPER busy. I wanted to add more, but I also wanted to update before you all decided to stop reading my story. So, I promise you this, I will add this and start writing the next bit. I promise to have the next chapter done by next Tuesday night.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, not even Juliet's red 50's dress that I really wish I owned.
10. Chapter 10 by Shyactress [Reviews - 10] (1837 words)
Ok, since I abandoned everyone for so long, I thought I'd make this chapter a bit longer than most. I'm anxious to see people's response to it though.
Disclaimer: I do not own Psych.
11. Chapter 11 by Shyactress [Reviews - 6] (1206 words)
Ok, it's up! By the way, can I just say how frustrated I was by tonight's episode! OMG!!!
12. Chapter 12 by Shyactress [Reviews - 9] (2145 words)
Hey guys, I'm back :) Ok, so this chapter is a little longer than even I expected it to be. I hope you like it.
Oh, and by the way, I slightly changed up chapter 11 because there were numerous grammatical errors that annoyed me and I also made it flow a little, better. They are not big changes, but I figured I'd tell you in case you had trouble understanding originally.It comes from typing these things up at 2/3 am.
On that note, enjoy!
13. Chapter 13 by Shyactress [Reviews - 5] (956 words)
My internet was down. :( Sorry it took so long. This one's also short, I was gonna add more but I have writer's block. I know what needs to happen...just can't think how. So, I'm giving you this much till I figure the rest out. This is mostly fluff though.
14. Chapter 14 by Shyactress [Reviews - 11] (3199 words)
Hey, guys. So since it's been taking me so long, I've made this extra long. This took me like 5 hours...so all of my homework time to write. I really hope you enjoy it. It was really difficult to write.
15. Chapter 15 by Shyactress [Reviews - 11] (1133 words)
Ok, this is a bit shorter and maybe a little anti-climatic, but I'm gonna get to the real Shules part soon. I promise. But it is now 5:25 am here, and I need to get to bed, so this is what you get :)
16. Chapter 16 by Shyactress [Reviews - 7] (1256 words)
Ok, so is Monday night/Tuesday 4:15am close enough to the weekend? I really wanted to get this done, but was really behind. But now it is. And can I say, wow, when I ask you guys deliver! Thanks! You guys are great!
As promised this chapter is dedicated to iknow!
17. Chapter 17 by Shyactress [Reviews - 7] (1073 words)
Ok, here's the next chapter. It's kind of just a plot chapter. Not the most exciting, but needed for later. :) It's almost 4am again...I need to get on a better schedule...lol. I do it for you guys though, so it's worth it. ;)
18. Chapter 18 by Shyactress [Reviews - 14] (1430 words)
Sorry I haven't been updating a lot lately. I have been really busy lately. I have yet to go to bed before 5am all week. It is actually 4:56 am as I type this. So since I have been slacking, I thought I'd make this chapter a little more dramatic for you. :)
19. Chapter 19 by Shyactress [Reviews - 6] (518 words)
Ok, I know I haven't updated in a really long time, and I know that this is really, really short, but I have been really busy. I'm only adding this now to let you guys know I'm still alive and I am going to finish this story, as soon as I'm done writing papers, which should be soon, like a couple days. I'm soo sorry I've taken this long to update!
20. Chapter 20 by Shyactress [Reviews - 15] (930 words)
SO it has been a long time. I am soooo sorry. Does softball, physical therapy, relationship problems, and really bad writer's block all added together allow me to plead temporary insanity? Because I think that's the closest thing to my life lol.
Anyway, this is the big chapter 20! Except it's not that long...but I got past the first 5 sentences (which is where I've been stuck for the last month) There's some key information in here and the case is getting wrapped up. But the shules doesn't look like it's anywhere close to being wrapped up. hmm. *wicked grin* don't worry we'll get there. :D
21. Chapter 21 by Shyactress [Reviews - 13] (3658 words)
Ok, I know I said that I was going to wrap up the case this chapter, but it was getting EXTREMELY long. So next chapter, I promise.
I also got the Shules in, though scattered around. I'm sorry there couldn't be a section of just pure Shules goodness, but this wasn't supposed to be a Shules heavy chapter. And if any of it seems out of character, I did try to explain, but I will stand and take the rotten fruit thrown at me like a (wo)man.
I'd also like to thank you guys for the awesome reviews for last chapter! You guys rock and I love you sooo much!
22. Chapter 22 by Shyactress [Reviews - 7] (1406 words)
So, I’m back. Finally. Unfortunately, since it’s been so long, I don’t remember what I had planned out exactly; so this chapter is another leading up to the dance, just to set up my rewrite of the ending. But the next chapter will definitely be the dance. I promise.
I hope you like it…
23. Chapter 23 by Shyactress [Reviews - 10] (475 words)
This is really short, but I'm not sure the next time I can update. I just got casted in a play on top of everything else. :( Enjoy.
24. Chapter 24 by Shyactress [Reviews - 9] (671 words)
Hey, I know that it is taking me FOREVER to update, but there are two main reasons: 1. I am SUPER busy and don't even have time to sleep, let alone write Shulesy goodness 2. I notice a couple logic fails that I have been trying to fix and have not quite figured them out (that's what I get for making it up as I go along).
Anyway, here is a short chapter with lots of shules fluff, as I promised to keep you fed until I can figure things out!
25. Chapter 25 by Shyactress [Reviews - 4] (1635 words)
I don't know if anyone still reads this here, but I am updating it on ff.net, so I figured I'd update it here...even thought it's been 4 years.
26. Chapter 26 by Shyactress [Reviews - 0] (964 words)
I am horribly sorry about how long this took. I had the outline done the day after I posted the last chapter but I never had the time to actually write it out. So, I am forgoing my nap and sitting down with a pint of Mint Chip to get out the last chapter.
I’m kind of sad that this is ending. I really enjoyed writing it and I’m honored that you all stuck with me through it. Thanks for all the amazing reviews and the pm’s of help and encouragement. I really hope you enjoy it.
