Chuck and Casey were working at the Buy More today and you stopped in to discuss the plans tonight with them quietly. And luckily it was your day off today.

"So, dress attire for this evening-- uh, sneakers, or are we classifying this as more of a shoe event? " Chuck asked.

"I rented you a tux. And Sarah got Y/N a dress."

"She did?" you asked.

"Oh, that's very nice... how did you know my size?"

"NSA-- they have records of your rental information from prom night. And that's how Sarah figured out your dress size too." You and Chuck looked completely confused.

" I checked the suit in your closet. And Sarah just looked at you and knew what size you were."

"Okay, this is our first foray into major undercover spy work, so you could ease up on the sarcasm. That would be great. And how are we supposed to recognize La Ciudad? Is there a picture or something?" Chuck asked.

"If there was a photograph, why would we need you?"

" What did we just talk about? " You said.

"I'm sorry. We're hoping something in the event triggers a flash."

" See, that's all you had to say." You said crossing your arms staring at Casey.

"Now, uh, hand-to-hand combat-- in all seriousness, if it comes down to me or Y/N and La Ciudad in some fisticuffs or something, is there, like, a 20-minute tutorial you can take us through?"

"Don't worry. You guys are going to be fine. Nothing's going to happen to you. Assuming you know how to tango. "

"Seriously?" Chuck asked looking a little scared.

" Oh, I don't joke about your life."

All of a sudden Morgan appeared in front of you and Chuck.

"Hey Sarah is here!"

You and Chuck turned around to find Sarah waiting by the entrance. You walked over to Sarah as Chuck began walking the other way with Morgan.

"One minute, I have computers to fix." Chuck said calling out to the both of you.

"Don't worry about it. We got it. There's only a few left. " Anna said.

"What? Are you sure?"

"Yeah go spend time with the girls. But you cover for me next time I get to hang out with two gorgeous women." Lester said.

"Okay. Great. Thanks, team. I'll see you tomorrow." Chuck said quickly turning back around and heading towards you and Sarah.

"Where are you lovebirds headed along with Sarah?" Morgan asked.

" We're actually going to an art auction at the Wilshire grand."

" Swanky! Yeah, I like it, man. But kinda weird since you still have yet to tell Y/N how you feel and you have her best friend coming along with you guys again. Dude! You got to tell her!"

Chuck then turned around and grabbed Morgan by his shoulders.

"Listen, it's not that easy okay? She's been my best friend since we were little kids. I want to find the perfect time to tell her okay? It may take some time but it will come."

"Alright man... Just don't take too long because you are killing us here."

"Yeah thanks Morgan."

Chuck then turned back towards you and Sarah and you gave him a big smile. You then linked arms with both Chuck and Sarah and walked out of the Buy More.

You were now all sitting outside of Weinerlicious on one of the patio tables, going over some details.

"The idea with a cover is to keep it as simple as possible without revealing true personal detail. Any thoughts on a name guys?" Sarah asked you two.

" Charles Carmichael? Simple, dignified." Chuck answered.

" Easy to remember and not far off from..." Sarah started. Then Chuck went off.

" Graduated with honors from Stanford. Runs a hugely successful software company. Semi-retired and is considering entering America's cup." He finished. You raised your eyebrows, amazed Chuck already came up with all that.

"Have you done this before? " Sarah asked impressed.

"Let's just say, uh, Mr. Carmichael and I share a small kinship."

"How's that?" you asked turning towards him.

" When I first entered Stanford, it's kind of where I envisioned myself being by now, except for the sailing part. I don't really know where that came from. But he's where most of my class already is."

"So, what happened? " Sarah asked.

"My life took a little detour sophomore year when our old friend Bryce Larkin discovered stolen tests under my bed, and was kind enough to alert administration."

"Did you steal the tests?"

"I thought it was kind of implied that I'm a decent person."

"Well, we all make mistakes."

" And I made plenty. That just wasn't one of them. But, hey, then Bryce sent me a whole database of government secrets that are now locked in my and Y/N's brain, keeping me in a constant state of fear, danger and anxiety, and I'm sure Y/NN feels the same so I'd say we're even."

You looked at Chuck and placed your hand on his arm and rubbed it gently. You remember that night when he called you telling you what happened, upset clear in his voice. You remember driving from UCLA down to Stanford to pick up Chuck and take him home and stayed with him the whole night as you tried to cheer him up and to just be there for him.

"What about you Y/N? Have you thought of your cover?" Sarah asked you.

"Honestly? I couldn't think of anything. I'm not as good at this as Chuck is apparently."

Sarah looked at you and gave you a little smirk.

"Well I have an idea. Since you two are always gonna be together on missions to get info, you could go as Y/N Carmichael. Charles' wife."

You and Chuck both looked at Sarah shocked.

"Oh uh...I mean... I uh..." you started. You started blushing furiously just thinking about going undercover as husband and wife with Chuck.

Chuck then spoke up.

"I mean... I would be okay with it." Chuck said looking at you with a knowing smile. "And it does make sense."

"Ummm...okay. Sure!"

Sarah could see you still blushing like crazy and smiled. She knew you had it so bad for Chuck.

"Perfect! And don't be worried about tonight. No reason to be nervous. I won't be leaving your sides." She said placing her hands on your arms.

"Me nervous? Never." Chuck said.

"Your hands can get a little moist Chuck." you said looking at him.

" It does that when I'm freaking out." He said looking between you and Sarah.

You followed Chuck down to his place. Neither of you knew how to tango and you were both curious if Ellie knew anything at all.

"Hey sis!"

"Hey Ellie!"

"Um... do you know how to tango?" Chuck asked.

" No, why?"

"Oh, no reason." you said waving it off. "It's just this outing we are going to go to with Sarah."

"You two are tangoing along with Sarah? Well, that's definitely new territory. What kind of hangout is this?" Ellie asked.

"A real fancy one." Chuck said.

"Did someone say tango?" Devon said coming out of the bathroom, wearing just a towel around his waist.

" No, thank you, captain awesome, I'll look it up online. Would you please put on something, a robe or something?" Chuck asked feeling uncomfortable.

" Did a semester abroad in Buenos Aires. Spent many nights tangoing my way into señoritas' pantalones."

Devon took Chuck out into the living room and set up some tango music.

"Oh this I have to watch." you said standing beside Ellie.

"Y/N you are going to tango too you know? Why aren't you getting in on this?"

"Oh I'll be fine! I learn better by watching." you said giving Chuck a wink.

You and Ellie stood off to the side watching Chuck and Devon tango together. You were both trying so hard not to laugh. Chuck was looking so uncomfortable the entire time.

Once they were done Devon looked over at you.

"You want to try Y/N?"

"No I think I'll be good. I got it." you said still trying not to laugh.

It was the night of the art auction. Chuck was at home getting his tux on and trying to tie his bow tie. You were once again driving down to Chuck's place where Sarah will pick you two up along with Casey.

Ellie was busy trying to button up the sleeves on Chuck's shirt when the doorbell rang. Ellie ran over to grab the door knowing it would be you.

"Hey Y/N! Wow! You look stunning!" She said looking at you.

"Aw thank you!"

Chuck was looking over at the door and his jaw dropped when he saw you. You were wearing a long sleeved maroon gown that had a slit on the right side that went up to you thigh. You wore hair down with waves and had natural eye makeup with a dark red lipstick. You noticed how Chuck was staring at you and you began to blush.

"Y/N...Wow... you look...wow."

"You don't think it's too much?"

"Too much? No! Are you kidding. You look... perfect."

You looked down trying to hide your blush once again.

"Thanks Chuck." You then looked back up at him and noticed how handsome he looked in his tux. "You look real good too."

Ellie stood to the side watching you two and hoping you two would hook up soon. It was killing her watching you two act like that and not be together yet.

You then heard Casey knock on your door and a honk from outside.

"Well. That must be them. Let's go." Chuck said and you both linked arms as you walked out. Ready to do your first real mission together.
