Disclaimer: They're not mine. Probably better they aren't.

"Oh, like you’re mad that guy is gone, Jules."

"Yes, Shawn! Yes, I am! What on earth did you think you were doing?"

"Uh, I don’t know, saving you from the lamest date ever?"

"That’s not your job, Shawn!"

"It’s everybody’s job to prevent people from going on crappy dates. It’s the burden of a responsible citizen. That guy shouldn’t have even asked you out. He was acting totally irresponsibly."

Juliet had a difficult time fighting off a smile despite her anger. She had no idea how Shawn always managed to do that. "For your information, I was enjoying that ‘crappy date’ Shawn."

She was lying through her teeth.

"With that guy? Really? Did you even see his hair? It was horrible!"

Juliet bit her tongue to hide her agreement. "Oh, really. And who exactly do you think would be a worthy date for me?"

"Well, that should be obvious Jules."

"Oh, well then please, since you know absolutely everything Shawn, please, enlighten me."

"Well duh. Me."

Juliet opened her mouth to respond and stopped, surprised. She hadn’t actually expected a straight answer from the psychic. She eyed him for a long moment before finally saying:

"Oh. Well, why didn’t you say so?"

It was his turn to stare at her, silent for several long seconds. Then:

"Okay, in that case, I’ll say it now. Jules, I like you. Let’s go on a date together."

She smiled brilliantly. "That sounds like a great idea, Shawn! And since you’re already here, I’ve paid for these skates, and you’ve chased off my other date, why don’t we start right here?"

A grin crept onto Shawn’s face. "Let’s."
