The Bad Luck of the Irish

Okay, everybody. As you certainly already guessed is this a crossover between "Psych" and "The Luck of the Irish". For all of you who haven´t seen the film yet, it definitely helps to watch it before reading this story. Not to mention that it is a great film to watch even without reading this story. For so many reasons. (and btw: despite many voices who said otherwise, I really liked the ending and didn´t find it a bit cheesy)

For all of you who already know this awesome Disney-film (or just don´t care and want to read anyway) enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don´t own either Psych nor The Luck of the Irish

The Festival

„I can´t believe you don´t want to go there, Lassie." Shawn cried holding up the poster that read: Irish folk-festival in Santa Barbara. „I mean … its Irish."

„I already told you that I have no time." Lassiter said still writing.

„But …" Shawn was not ready to give up yet. „You could show some Irish tap dancing there." he suggested.

„Its step, Spencer." Lassiter corrected without thinking.

„You see." Shawn cried. „I knew you would know that. You must come with us. That´s your heritage."

„Spencer, I don´t need you to tell me about my heritage." Lassiter replied finally standing up from his work he had leaned over all the time while Shawn had tried to convince him to go to that stupid festival. He had told him that he wouldn´t go. Why couldn´t he just drop the subject?

„He is right, Carlton." O´Hara now chipped in and walked over to his desk. „This festival is only here for one week. And its already Thursday. We should go there."

„Sorry." Carlton replied, a little more peaceful now that he talked to his partner instead of annoying Spencer. „I have work to do."

„Aw, can´t this wait?" she asked, now almost begging like a little girl. „This is both our heritage. I mean the Scottish are not that far from the Irish and they have a connected history. It would be fun. I help you with the files. That way we get them ready faster."

Lassiter chuckled a little but raised a hand to stop her. „I´m sorry." he said. „I can´t. You go there. Have fun. Bring me some corned beef if you want. But I really need to finish this work."

Jules sighed disappointed and exchanged a glance with Shawn. He shrugged as if to say: Well. At least we tried. She agreed with a sad nod.

„All right." she said. „But we will miss you there. Really. You should come. It would be fun."

„Have a nice day there." Carlton said and sat back behind his desk.

„We will." Shawn promised. And with a grin and a wink he added: „We will dance like the leprechauns."

Carlton just rolled his eyes and turned back to his files. What a ridiculous joke, even for Spencer. He picked up his pen and flipped through the file, he had been working on, before Spencer had disturbed him. Sometimes it was a gift to have too much work. It was always good as an excuse for not having time to go somewhere he didn´t want to be. Still he threw a brief look after Shawn and Juliet when they left the station to join the other people who wanted to engage in that funny little festival.

„You would like to go, wouldn´t you?" the voice of Henry Spencer suddenly came up and made him jump.
„Dammit, Spencer." Lassiter hissed. He hadn´t even noticed that Henry had sat down opposite of him. Henry just smiled.

„Why don´t you go?" he asked him. „The files are not the problem. You are not forced to take double shifts just because of them. These are old files anyway, nothing that burns. Plenty of time for these. So why …?"

„I have my reasons." Lassiter cried holding up both hands in defence. „Okay? Just leave me alone."

Henry´s smile vanished. He had gotten the message, that Lassiter was serious about that. Though he didn´t understand why, he respected the wish of his coworker, not to want to talk about it.

„Okay." he said and turned around in his chair. He stood up and threw one last look at Lassiter, before he went on to get himself a coffee. Lassiter didn´t look up from his files again. He really didn´t want to talk about any of this. Ever again.

So, I know this was rather short but its just the intro. The next chapters will be longer. Tell me what you think anyway.

And thanks for reading.
