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

    The others joined them and they went into the restuarant.  There weren't that many tables available so they split up, with Eric, Greta, Shawn, and Belle sitting at a separate table.  They were all starving so they quickly ordered.  The waitress stopped at Greta.  "I'll just have a bagel" she said, putting down her menu.  "Is that all you're having?" Shawn asked.  Greta nodded.  "I'm just feeling a little carsick from the long ride" she said.  "Why don't you get some tea then?  That'll help settle your stomach" Belle offered.  "Ok, I'll have some tea too" Greta said, handing her menu over.  Belle and Greta began to talk.  Shawn elbowed Belle after he was through ordering.  "Earth to Belle" he said.  "Oh, sorry!" she said.  "I'll have a small stack of blueberry pancakes and a glass of orange juice".  The waitress gathered their menus and walked away.
     "So" Eric said, leaning back and putting his arm around Greta.  "Have you two gotten into any fights since we left?"  Belle started to laugh.  "Shawn fell asleep with his mouth hanging open..." she said.  "So she took a picture of me" Shawn interrupted.  "And he woke up and got mad" Belle finished.  Greta and Eric laughed.  "Do you two always finish each other's sentences or is this a new thing?" Eric asked.  Shawn shrugged.  "We've known each other forever, I guess it's bound to happen once in awhile" Shawn said.  The waitress came with their food and they all dug in.
     "Are you sure you two will make it the rest of the trip together?" Eric asked, taking a bite of his eggs.  "I mean, we wouldn't want you two attacking each other or anything".  "Yeah, if it's a problem, I'm sure Mrs. Horton wouldn't mind switching with Belle for the rest of the trip" Greta said.  Shawn looked at Belle and shrugged.  "We'll be fine" Belle said.  "Shawn sleeps most of the time so it'll be a quiet trip".  "Ha ha" Shawn said, finishing up his food.  The rest of them finished eating and they all piled back in the van, except Bp and John, who switched seats.  "Did everyone eat enough and go to the bathroom?" Bo asked, as he buckled himself in.  "Yep" Hope and Marlena answered him.  "Are you sure Shawn?" Belle said.  "I'm sure the restuarant has a *little* more food after all you ate".  "On that note, I'm going to sleep" Shawn said.  Belle rolled her eyes and pulled a magazine from a bag behind her.  She flipped through it as Shawn made himself comfortable and fell asleep.
     After about an hour her legs hurt from sitting in the same position.  She looked over at Shawn, who had stretched his legs out into the space beside the door.  She shook him.  "Shawn, switch me seats" she said, unbuckling her seatbelt.  "What?" he asked, sleepily.  "Switch me seats, my legs hurt" she said.  "No way" he said.  "Mine are longer, I need more room".  "But that's not fair" she said.  Shawn yawned.  "Tell you what" he said.  "Stretch your legs across my lap, ok?"  "Nevermind" she said, pouting.  Shawn reached over and picked up her legs.  He stretched them across his lap and rested his hands near her knees.  "Better?" he asked.  She nodded.  He watched as she pulled a Discman from her purse and put a cd in.  Shawn closed his eyes and Belle made herself comfortable again.  She stared out the window over Shawn's head and fell into a deep sleep, starting a realistic dream.
     She was walking down the halls of their school with Mimi.  She stopped at the water fountain and set her books down as she leaned over to get a drink.  The cool water fell against her lips. She straightened up and Shawn was right next to her.  He reached over and wiped the excess water off her lips.  He then moved in closer to her and Belle closed her eyes in anticipation.
     ":Belle, Belle" she heard someone say.  She opened her eyes to see Shawn inches from her.  "It's not a dream" she told herself.  She shut her eyes again and Shawn shook her lightly.  "Belle, wake up, we're here" he said.  She opened her eyes to find herself in the van with a warm breeze blowing in the open door.  "What?" she asked, disoriented.  "We're at the beach!" Shawn said, excitedly.  "C'mon, let's go look around".  Belle stretched.  "Go ahead without me" she said.  "I can't" he replied.  "You're practically on my lap".  Belle blushed as she pulled her legs off his lap.  He jumped up and dragged her with him.  He pulled her out of the van and began running around the beach house.  Belle struggled to keep up with him as she tried to wake up at the same time.  They both stopped short when they could see and hear the ocean. 
     "Wow" Shawn said, in almost a whisper.  "It's so beautiful" Belle replied.  "Yeah, beautiful" Shawn said, looking at Belle.  He dropped her hand.  "We better get back" he said.  "Yeah" she answered.  They slowly made their way back around the house to the car.  "There you two are" Hope said, picking up a bag.  "How's the ocean look?"  "Oh, Hope, it's gorgeous" Belle said.  "Wait till you see".  John and Bo were unloading all the bags onto the driveway.  "Let's go check out the house before we take all our stuff in" John said.  They all followed him as he went up to the door and unlocked it.
