Hello All! First Psych fic here. It is one of my favorite shows and i thought i'd give it a shot. Look forward to Shawn and Gus banter, Shawn bugging Lassie, and some shameless Shules moments :). Enjoy. Reviews are to me like a pineapple smoothie is to Shawn!


It was a hot day in Santa Barbara. Almost too hot. The beach was mostly empty and the sidewalks only held one or two runners and a girl walking her hand held dog every so often. It was only 1:00pm.

Shawn and Gus sat in Psych's office watching a Tivo'd episode of America's Next Top Model, the fans blowing full speed on both of them, because even the air conditioning wasn't helping. Well that's not entirely true. There hadn't been any recent cases and the boys were running low on money. They couldn't afford to keep the air running even on the few "Is my boyfriend cheating on me?" sob cases Shawn was taking to try and bring in money.

The days were dragging too. They tried multiple times to pass the time by heading over to the SBPD to bug Lassie or Jules but Chief Vick would kick them out. They couldn't understand why. There were no cases. And she never had a problem with it before. Even Henry didn't need them for anything.

Shawn was bored to death. Even ANTM wasn't holding his attention like it used to. So when halfway through the show, someone knocked on the door Shawn leaped up form his spot next to Gus on the couch, causing his best friend to spill the bowl of popcorn that was on his lap, yelling;

"I'll get it!"

"Make me more popcorn while your up Shawn!." Gus yelled after him, trying to pick up the hundreds of kernels that had scattered on the floor. But Shawn didn't hear him. He was staring at the person on the other side of the threshold. A girl, just a few inches shorter than him, dark brown hair like him, sunglasses blocked out her eyes but they were probably hazel like his too.

"Hi Shawn." the girl said a little nervously but a smile was on her face. Shawn suddenly slammed the door in her face and leaning his back against it, a look of shock on his face.

"Who was it man?" Gus had just walked in at the sound of the door shutting looking confused. The was another knock. Gus looked at his friend, still confused and not understanding the expression on Shawn's face.

"Uh, Shawn?" Gus said.

"Shawn.... please let me in.." said the girl. He still didn't move, but after a few more knocks and another plea Gus shoved the stunned Shawn out of the way and opened the door.

"I'm sorry about that. Please come in." He said gesturing for her to enter the office. Even with the sunglasses, Gus swore there was something familiar about her face.

"Thanks Gus." she said. Gus was right about something being familiar if she knew his name. But he still didn't know who she was.

"You know my name?"

"Of course. Shawn pushed me out of your memory too?" She looked over at the still dumbfounded boy.

"I guess so. Usually I have an awesome memory." Gus said, also looking over at him. Shawn finally broke out of his trance like stare and looked at both of them.

Gus... You remember Grace....my sister" Gus's memory shot back to when they were young and saw a little girl sitting in Shawn's living room playing with a doll. Now he knew why she looked familiar.

"You blocked me out of his life too?!" She sounded a little shocked. Well..more than a little.

"What do you want Grace?" He snapped back. She didn't hesitate to answer.

"Your help."
