Shawn and Belle Fan Fiction.  Section one: Letting Down the Walls
Chapter Eleven

    Belle wasn't able to fall asleep for awhile so she slept in a little later than usual.  She awoke to hear noises in the kitchen so she got up and pulled her hair all back.  She started down the hallway, just wearing her pink pjs.  She looked out and saw her mom, Hope, Mrs. Horton, and Greta sitting at the table with Shawn in the kitchen.
"Morning, sweetie" her mom said, looking up.
"Morning everyone" Belle said.  She went into the kitchen to get some juice and saw that Shawn was making pancakes.
"Morning, sleepyhead" he said.  "Bet you're suprised to see me up early, espeically making breakfast".
"No, I knew you were up" she said, pouring herself some juice.  "I couldn't hear you snoring"
"I don't snore" he said, flipping the pancakes.
"Wanna bet?" Eric asked, just walking into the room.  He was just wearing his pajama pants and he scratched his head, his hair standing straight up.  "Sometimes I wake up and think there are wild pigs in the house-but then I remember you're across the hall"
"Very funny" Shawn said, as Belle sat down at the table.  He came over bringing a plate full of pancakes, which everyone quickly dug into.
"Aren't you making me any?" Eric asked, jokingly sticking out his bottom lip.
"Of course, sweetie" Shawn said, placing his hand on top of Eric's head.  Both started laughing as Hope shook her head.  Shawn went back and put some more pancakes on the griddle.
"They're ready Eric, get your butt out here" he said, after a few minutes.
"I'm ready, man" Eric said, standing with his plate behind Shawn.  Everyone watched as Shawn flipped the pancake over his shoulder.  Eric caught it cleanly.  Shawn flipped another and Eric almost missed but caught it before it landed on the floor.  "Go for a long one!" Eric said, walking to the far end of the kitchen.  Shawn peeked over his shoulder and sent the last one flying.  Eric caught it on his plate and threw his arms up.  "Touchdown!" he said, as he went to sit down.  The girls all laughed.
"You two are worse than the Three Stooges" Mrs. Horton said.
"A wise guy, eh?" Shawn said, in his best Stooges voice, as he slapped the back of Eric's head. 
"The three what?" Greta asked, looking confused.
"Guess I have more American pop culture to teach ya" Eric said, kissing her on the cheek.
"These are great, hun" Hope said, taking another bite.
"Yeah, they are" Greta agreed.
"Thanks" Shawn said, sitting down with his own plate.  "What's on the agenda for today?"
"The beach, I guess" Eric mumbled, with his mouth full, as he looked over the newspaper.  He swallowed quickly.  "Here's something we could do"
"What's that?" Greta asked, looking over his shoulder. 
"Wave riders" Eric said.  "We can rent them for an hour at a place up the road.  That would be so much fun"
"I'm in" Shawn said, getting up and reading over Eric's shoulder.
"Not me" Belle said.  "I guess I'm too young"
"You can ride with me or Shawn" Eric said.  "You too, Greta"
"Aren't those things dangerous?" Marlena asked.
"Not at all, if you're careful" Eric said.
"Am I allowed, Mom?" Shawn asked.
"Of course, just be careful" she said.
"Are you coming, Greta?" Eric asked.
"Yeah, I guess so, it should be fun" she answered.
"Mom, can I go?" Belle asked.  Marlena looked caught.
"I guess so" she finally said.  "Eric and Shawn probably know what they're doing.  But Eric, I trust you to make sure it's a safe place before you do it. I'm trusting you"
"Of course, mom" Eric said, getting up and beginning to put his plate away.  "Let's get going".  Belle got up and went to her room and pulled on her blue bikini.  She tied on a pair of blue shorts and some sandals.  SHe put on a little waterproof make-up and went out where everyone was waiting.
"Be careful, I'm very serious" John said, slipping Eric some money.  "I'm leaving you with my little girl"
"I'll take care of her, don't worry" Eric said.  Bo just raised an eyebrow at Shawn.
"I'll be careful too, dad" Shawn answered.  They made their way out the door and into Eric's car.  Eric drove and Belle stared out the window as they made their way down the road.  They got there and went up into the office.  Eric paid and the guy made them sign some forms while he looked at Shawn and Eric's drivers licenses.  They went out the door where a younger guy brought them their life jackets.  Belle quickly caught his eye and he went over to offer to tighten her jacket.
"I got it" Shawn said, slipping between them.  He tightened it for her.  "That ok?"
"Yeah" she said.  She pulled him closer.  "Thanks, that guy looked a little scary" she whispered.
"No problem" he said.  The owner motionioned them over to a rider and Shawn climbed on.  He turned and helped Belle climb on behind him.  She got herself comfortable while he connected the key chain to his wrist.
"Don't go past the lines out there," the owner said, as Shawn started it up.  He slowly pulled away and Belle held onto him as they made their way out.  He turned it when they reached the limits and saw Eric and Greta pulling away from the dock.
"Let's see what this thing can do" Shawn said, as he opened up the throttle.  Belle held on tight as they flew across the water.  Shawn finally slowed down.  "Calm down Belle, I can hardly breathe" he joked, as Belle loosened her grip on him.
"Look, Greta brought a camera" Belle said, pointing to the others.  Shawn drove up next to them and Greta took another picture.
"Hand us the camera and we'll take some pictures of you two" Shawn said.  Greta handed it to Belle and they pulled away.  Belle took a few pictures and then handed it back to Greta.  She was feeling more comfortable then so she held onto the seat instead of Shawn. 
"You ok?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah, fine, why?" Belle asked.
"Cause you stopped holding on" Shawn said, turning to grin at her.  He liked having her arms around him so he sped up.  Belle instinctively held onto him again and Shawn laughed to himself.  Belle closed her eyes because they were going so quickly and leaned her head against his back.  Shawn finally slowed down and she opened her eyes again.
"Let's have a little fun" he said.  He drove over by Eric and Greta and then turned suddenly.  The turn produced a wave of water that broke on the rider, covering them both with water.  Greta screamed and they laughed.
"It's war!" Eric yelled, starting after them.  Shawn tried to dodge them but Eric managed to send a wave of water over them.  Belle leaned into Shawn's back so he got the brunt of the water.  She laughed as Shawn drove around some more and finally got them back.  Belle continued holding onto him and Shawn wished the hour would never end.  But it soon did, when they saw the owner standing on the docks, waving them in.  Shawn drove slowly back in and pulled it against the dock.  The one guy tied it up as Shawn climbed off and pulled Belle with him.
"That was awesome" Eric said, pulling off his vest and shaking water from his hair.
"Yeah, that was a lot of fun" Greta agreed, handing hers to Eric.  The boy came back and took thier vest and then headed straight for Belle.
"Hey there" he said to her.
"Hi" she said, not really paying attention.
"I was wondering what you were doing later" he said.  "You know, so I could take you out, show you around a little, really get to know you better"
"No thanks" Belle said, quickly.
"Oh, c'mon, what will it hurt?" he said.  Belle rolled her eyes.
"Thanks anyway" she said, starting to walk away.  Shawn stepped closer to the two of them and watched intently.
"You don't know what you're missing then" the guy said.  Belle laughed.
"I may not know what I'm missing" she said, walking over to Shawn.  "But I know what I have," she said, giggling, as she put her arms around Shawn from behind and sqeezed him.  The guy threw down the life vest he was holding and Belle walked off.  Greta ran after her and the two started laughing as they went back to the car.  Eric joined Shawn.
"You coming? he asked, laughing.
"Yeah, guess so" Shawn said, distracted, as they started back.  Greta and Belle had already claimed the backseat so Eric and Shawn got in the front.  They two girls were giggling about something.
"What's so funny?" Shawn asked.
"Oh....nothing" Greta said, producing more laughter from Belle.
"C'mon, tell us" Eric said, stopping at a red light.  Belle whispered something and Greta burst out laughing again, Belle joining in.
"Ok, be that way" Shawn said, crossing his arms across his chest.
"Aww, don't be mad" Belle said, leaning up and ruffling his hair.  "We're just goofing off"
"Just being girls" Shawn said, mocking Belle.
"And what's wrong with being girls?" Greta asked.
"Nothing at all" Eric intercepted.  "Especially when you're as beautiful as you two are.  Don't you agree, Shawn?"  Shawn was just about to answer when the girls giggled again.
"Never mind" Shawn said, as Eric pulled into the driveway of the house.
