Happy Birthday, Juliet
For her first birthday since he had officially become Juliet O'Hara's boyfriend, Shawn wanted to do something special.
But, for once, his world-famous creativity was failing him.
It had to include a meal, but he couldn't just take her out to dinner. A fancy restaurant was the traditional choice, which immediately ruled that out. Anyone could take her out to a fancy dinner, and Shawn wanted this birthday to be something she'd remember.
There was also the problem of finding her a gift. It had to be special, too. Something romantic, thoughtful and perfect.
As a result, Shawn had spent the days leading up to Juliet's birthday doing a lot more thinking than he usually likes.
Until, of course, they caught a case. Not just any case, either, but the Case of the Year, a case so big and so important that even Lassiter didn't complain about Psych being hired- there was just too much work not to need all hands on deck.
It was three in the morning when Shawn realized, halfway through his triple cheeseburger from their midnight emergency-sugar-low burger joint food, that it was Juliet's birthday.
"Jules," he began, looking over the desk at her, then sighed. "I meant to take you to dinner, something really special, and find you a present, even more special, but..."
He held out a purple plastic ring shaped like a star- the toy from the Fun Meal that he'd gotten along with his burger.
"Happy birthday, Jules."
She smiled and kissed him, then slid the ring onto her finger. "Thank you, Shawn. This is perfect."
He grinned back at her- maybe he wasn't so bad at this boyfriend stuff, after all.
"And Shawn? You still owe me a real dinner."
His grin didn't fade in the slightest. "Consider it done, Jules."
