Johnny and Dora's Fantastic Weekend Getaway

AN: So this fic is kind of my headcanon/prediction for the season two finale. It'll be interesting to how far off I am. I'm taking into account everything we know about the finale, so hopefully I get a couple things right haha. I'm thinking it's going to be about 6-8 short chapters. I'll try and bust them out quickly!

Chapter 1: Peralta

Jake Peralta sat at his desk and looked over his most current open case file. It was an armed robbery, but the fiends only seemed to rob pet stores. And what did they take, you ask? Cats. No money, just cats. Jake's face lit up.

"Whhhhaaaaaaaaaat" Jake exclaimed, still not believing the hall-of-fame-worthy case that graced his desk.

"What? What is it?" asked a voice from across his desk. The voice belonged to Amy Santiago. Jake could tell by the tone of her voice she was annoyed, probably because she was knee deep in her own work and didn't appreciate being disturbed.

"Santiago, you have to look at this case" Jake said, beaming and handing her the case file. She opened the file and began reading it.

"So a buncha weirdos are going around stealing cats, what's so great about that?" She asked, handing the case file back to him.

"No, Santiago, think about it. They're stealing cats, they're-"

"Cat Burglars" they said together in unison, both laughing at the realization. Their joke was cut short as Captain Holt stepped out of his office.

"Detectives, the briefing room, please" Captain Holt said, causing all seven detectives to immediately stop what they were doing and join him. Jake and Amy sat next to each other at the middle desk closest to the door. The others sat themselves quickly, Terry being the last to get inside.

"Close the door, please," the Captain asked, "the blinds as well". Terry obliged.

"What's up, Captain?" Terry asked as he finished closing the last blind. Holt sighed, took off his classes and pinned a picture of a man and woman on the board.

"Detectives, it seems we have another undercover assignment on our hands. Only the eight of us are to be informed of this case and everything said in this room is to stay in this room. Is that understood?"

"Yes, sir" they all replied in unison. Jake, though partially excited for another undercover assignment, was weary of another job that could possibly take him away for six months.

"This," Holt gestured to the man's picture, "is Stanley Tufton and his wife," he motioned to the picture of the woman, "is Priscilla Tufton. Together they are New York's most successful identity thieves. They have performed an estimated 200 heists, stolen upwards of ten million dollars, and have proven to be nearly impossible to catch. The Tuftons work together as a team to prey on unsuspecting wealthy couples and steal their information, normally at expensive couples' getaways. We received an anonymous tip suggesting that they will both be attending an Ellis Island Couples Cruise this weekend. The assignment is simple. Surveillance cameras are currently being installed all throughout the common areas of the ship. Sergeant Jeffords, Detective Hitchcock, Detective Scully, and I will be handling surveillance in one of the rooms"

Jake swallowed and crossed his arms. He quickly deduced that if this was an undercover operation involving a couples' getaway, two of them would have to play the couple. Eliminating the four in surveillance, very few couple combinations remained. Jake highly doubted that the Captain would assign Charles as one half of the couple. Nothing against him, but Jake had a lot more experience doing undercover work and Charles being the husband of either Rosa Diaz or Amy Santiago wasn't exactly realistic. Honestly, there were only two plausible options. Either Jake's future faux wife would be Rosa or it would be Amy. Jake's heart rose up to his throat. He doubted it would be Rosa. She wouldn't be able to pull off being an affectionate partner, a trait this job needed. That left Amy.

"Detectives Diaz and Boyle, you will go undercover as waiters, ready to intervene at any moment" Holt continued. Jake tightened his fist. He knew what was coming. It seemed like Amy had as well. She shifted in her seat uncomfortably next to Jake.

"And finally, Detectives Peralta and Santiago, you will be going undercover as a newlywed couple. Your job will to befriend the Tuftons, convince them you are considerably wealthy, and give them the opportunity to steal the false identities given to you" and there it was, exactly what Jake had feared. He was going to have to "pretend" to be in love with Amy Santiago and she was going to have to do the same. A part of him was ecstatic and jumping off the walls. Maybe this was the perfect thing to cut the tension between them. Maybe this was the window that they kept missing. These were nice thoughts, but Jake knew better. He knew that by the end of this assignment he'd just end up liking her more and that she'd still stick to her "no cops" rule.

Jake could feel the rest of the team's eyes on him, could almost feel Charles and Rosa smirking, and he definitely felt Amy sitting up straight and putting on a brave face. He wasn't sure what his face was doing. He thought maybe it was just gaping at the Captain.

"More details will be revealed within the coming days, in the meantime, please review the case file and get as familiar with it as possible. Dismissed" Captain Holt concluded. They all started shuffling out when the Captain stopped them one last time, "Except Peralta and Santiago, I'd like a word with you"

The rest quickly left the room, leaving only the three of them.

"I want you to both know that I know that this will not be an easy assignment for either of you. I chose you to do this role because you are the best detectives I have and you happen," he paused to look them both dead in the eye before continuing, "to work great as a team. I expect to see your exemplary teamwork on this assignment as well, detectives". Captain Holt left the room and went back to his office, leaving the pair alone. Jake decided the best thing to do in this situation was to act like it was one big joke he found endlessly amusing. The further away he could get from his actual feelings, the better. He quickly wrapped his arm around Amy's neck.

"Well, well, well, Amy Santiago it looks like today, all your girlhood fantasies have come true! Never thought you'd bag such a manly stud as myself, did you?" he asked, in the most jovial voice he could muster. Amy rolled her eyes, still in his grip.

"More like girlhood nightmare. The assignment isn't until this weekend, so don't get too handsy"

"'Don't Get Too Handsy'" title of your sex tape!" Jake spurted as he released Amy. Amy sneered at him and left the briefing room. When she left, he took his grin with her. Jake sat on the corner of one of the desks and sighed. This was going to be as hard as he anticipated.

AN: Alright! So concludes chapter 1. *Sigh* I was hoping to make this a little bit more comedic to fit in with the tone of the show, but I feel like I only know how to write angst. Aaah, oh well. Hope you enjoyed anyway. I read all reviews and cherish feedback deeply. Thanks friends!
