This fanfic takes place during season 3 of Chuck and the season 2 of WC.

In Buymore's basement, Burbank, 2011.

Chuck and Sarah were in the Castle, both working on their computers. Well, they weren't working: they were adjusting their wedding last details. The blonde spy sighed and closed her laptop. Alerted by the noise, Chuck raised his eyes for a few seconds and asked:

"All done?"

"Almost." she replied, smiling at her soon-to-be husband "There's not much left to do, though: I have the perfect fiancé, the perfect dress, three amazing bridemaids and the flower I chose are magnificent!" I booked us an appointemment, tomorrow afternoon."

"What for?" he asked, intrigued.

"We've been talking about it several times, Chuck. Don't tell me you forgot?"

The tall brunette closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip. Sarah sighed and ran her fingers through her long blonde hair who was falling freely on her shoulders. Chuck opened his eyes and muttered:

"I'm so sorry, babe. I had a lot on my mind lately."

The blonde woman smiled and went to sat on the nerd's laps. The young man wrapped an arm around his arms and kissed her cheek while she was unconsciously playing with his tie. She asked:

"What's troubling you?"

"It's.. nothing. Really! Don't worry about it."

"Chuck.." she insisted.

He sighed and said:

"During the last hour, while you've been organizing our wedding perfectly, I've been writing and re-writing persons who have all the qualites required to be my bestman."

"And you don't know who to choose?" Sarah proposed.

"It's not just that" he replied "I've re-writed like.. a million times and I always have the same four names who popped out."

"Which are?"

"Well: Morgan, obviously-"

"Obviously" Sarah muttered.

"Awesome" he continued "and Casey."

"I thought there were four of them" his fiancée noticed, confused "You only told three names."

"I don't think the fourth one would be able to make it."

"Why? Who is it?"

"Bryce" he blurted out.

Sarah's face went blank as Chuck cleared his throat a few times to hide the fact that he was moved just by saying the name of his dead best friend. When they were in college, they had talked about it: if Bryce ever got married (not that he could believe that would be one day) Chuck would be his bestman and otherwise. But now that he wasn't here anymore, he couldn't count on me. He let out a long breath, that he didn't know he was holding, and said:

"You know what? Forget about it! Forget I ever mentionned Bryce."

"Chuck-"

"Honey, it's okay, I'm fine. Thrust me, I am. So what kind of magnificent flowers did you order?"

The blonde spy sighed. She knew him. She was engaged to him, for fucking god's sake! He was obviously avoiding the subject. But she played along not wanting to start a fight. As she was going to reply, Casey and Morgan, followed by Ellie, Captain Awesome and Alex, entered the Castle. All of them, except for Casey who was too busy doing something else, were grinning like idiots. Chuck raised an eyebrow and asked, suspicious:

"What's going on?"

"Why must there be a reason for us to come and see you, guys?" Ellie innoncently answered.

"Well, dear sis', your creeepy grins tell me enough and you wouldn't be all in here if something really important wasn't happening. So what is it?"

Without looking up from his work, Casey announced:

"Ellie convinced Beckman to give all of us a week without missions."

"Seriously?" Sarah asked, surprised "How so?"

"Well" Alex started "Since you and Chuck are getting married in a few days, we convinced her that you needed to rest, away from baddies."

"How awesome is that?" Devon said.

"It is awesome" Sarah agreed, looking to Chuck "Don't you think?"

"It is! It really is!" Chuck replied "Thanks, guys, we really appreciate the gesture."

"Wait, that's not all" Ellie intervened "We also convinced the Buymore manager, Mr Morgan Grimes, to give you holidays!"

"That's nothing, really. Anything for my best friend" Morgan shyly replied.

'Anything for my best friend..' Those words brought Chuck way back in his past

**FLASH-BACK**

STANDFORD UNIVERSITY, 2003.

Chuck was playing on his computer when Bryce abruptly opened their dorm's door and screamed:

"CHUCKYY BABY: YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME!"

Chuck jumped at the sudden apparition of his roommate, his eyes wide opened. He shouted:

"God, Bryce: are you trying to kill me?! I nearly had a heart attark."

"Well, that would've been a pity!" he snorted.

"Are you drunk again? Chuck sighed, closing his laptop.

Bryce jumped on the bed next to him, crossed his legs and replied:

"Not this time, my friend: I'm completely sober and before you asked, sound of mind. But I've got two things here, in my pocket that going to make you lose your mind. Litteraly."

Anxious but yet, excited, Chuck frowned his eyebrows and straightened in his chair. Bryce wasn't the type of person to be so bubbly nor excited so early in the morning. Well, unless he was drunk. The nerd put his laptop on his bed, crossed his arms and asked:

"What is it?"

Still smiling like a maniac, he raised from the bed, took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Chuck. He eyed suspiciously the envelope before taking it and opening it. His eyes widened when he discovered the content of the envelope. He looked up at his best friend and stuttered:

"I-is this what I think it is?"

"Yep! Two tickets and passes to go to Comic-Con, in L.A!"

He let out a small laugh, still not realizing what was happening. Still dumbfounded, he asked:

"How did you get them? I've been trying for months to get some but they were all sold out."

"Turned out I bought the last two." He replied, grinning from ear-to-ear. "Do you like it?"

"Are you kidding?! That's the best birthday's present ever." He shouted, jumping from his chair to hug Bryce.

The young man laughed and patted Chuck's back. When he let go of him, he said:

"Anything for my best friend."

**BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY**

"Chuck?" Sarah asked, gently shaking his shoulder.

"Huh? the tall brunette said, breaking out of his daydream. He looked around to see all of his friends' eyes on him. He blinked a few times, frowning his eyebrows "Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. What did you say?"

"Ellie and Awesome got all of us plane tickets to New York!" Sarah announced, excited. Chuck softly grinned at the sight of his fiancée. Sarah was always so cold, so distant and reserved. He coulnd't believe that the woman next to him, who was acting like a kid in a toy's store, was also a CIA agent, and coldblood killer.

"Wait" Chuck intervened, realizing something "You bought plane tickets for all of us?"

"Yes. Why, what's the problem?" His sister asked, confused.

"Ellie" the nerd insisted "A plane ticket is expensive, how did you manage to buy seven?"

"I'm a doctor, remember? So is Devon. We win a lot of money"

"So does being the only human Intersect in the world still alive" Chuck protested. "We coud've taken care of this."

"It wouldn't have been a surprise if you did, Chuck" Ellie fought back.

"El', I-"

"Chuck!" she interrupted him, tired of fighting with her younger brother "Just take it as a wedding gift."

"You already gave us three wedding gifts,-"

"Please." she insited, taking both of his hands in hers.

Chuck sighed in defeat, then nodded, groaning:

"Fine"

Ellie enthusiastically clapped in her hands, jumping up and down like a litte girl. Chuck chuckled and muttered:

"Looks like we're going to New York."
