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

   Shawn must have lost track of time with his book and it was awhile before he put it down.  He looked over to see Belle's shoulder's turning a light pink. "Whoops" he said, reaching over and shaking her lightly.  "Belle, wake up".  "How long was I asleep? she asked.  "I don't know but it looks like you had a little too much sun" he answered.  "I'm sorry".  "It's ok" she said.  "Let's just get inside".  They folded up their blanket and started to walk up to the house.  They hung their towels on the porch and went inside.  Mrs. Horton, Hope, and Marlena were standing around in the kitchen.
     "What's for dinner?" Shawn asked, pouring himself some cold water.  "Chicken shish kabobs" Mrs. Horton answered.  "There's just enough time for you two to get cleaned up before dinner".  "Belle, you can shower first" he said, sitting down.  Belle went to her room and got her things to shower.  Shawn went to his room and stretched out on his bed.  He heard the shower start and got an idea.  He waited a few minutes to make sure she was in, picked up his glass of water, and silently opened the bathroom door.  He snuck in and quickly dumped the glass of water over her.  She screamed and he ran out of the room, laughing.  He started back down the hall to get some more water when he ran into his mom.
     "Shawn, what's going on?" she asked.  "We heard Belle scream".  "No big deal, I just pulled a prank on her" he said, walking down the hall.  "Is Belle ok?" Marlena asked, when they went into the kitchen.  Shawn started to laugh.  "She's fine, I just dumped some cold water on her in the shower" Shawn answered, pouring himself another glass.  "When she gets you back for this, I don't want to hear any complaining because you deserve it" Hope said.  "Yeah, ok" Shawn said.  Belle stuck her head out of her door.  "Shawn, you can shower now," she said, sweetly. 
     Shawn went to his room and into the bathroom.  Belle quickly pulled on some shorts and a tank top and sat down to blow dry her hair.  She was brushing it when she heard the shower start.  She waited a minute and then snuck in her side of the bathroom.  She flushed the toilet and knew that the ice-cold water would be on him any second.  "What the..." she heard him say.  "Belle Black, I'll get you for that!"  She let herself out again and sat down to brush her hair.  She began to dry it and saw Shawn standing behind her in the mirror, just wearing a towel.  She ignored him and he just looked at her and shook his head.  Belle laughed.  "You deserved it," she said, and he let himself out again.  She quickly freshened her make-up and went out to the kitchen.  She began to set the table as Shawn came out.
     "Mom, Belle flushed the toilet while I was showering and made the water cold" he whined.  "Good for her" Hope answered.  "Go help her set the table, dinner's almost ready".  "But I'm starving" he whined to his mom.  "Why don't you go ask your dad how long the food will be-they're right outside" Hope said, pointing to the balcony.  Shawn slid open the door and stepped outside.  His dad and John were standing around the grill talking.  "Dad, how long till dinner?" he asked.  "Just a few minutes" he said.  "Go tell your mom that it's almost ready."  He looked up to the sky.  "Looks like we're in for a little rain" he said as Shawn let himself back inside.
     "He said a few minutes" Shawn said when he got back to the table.  He sat down at his seat and watched as Belle finished putting out all the drinks.  Greta and Eric came up the stairs and joined him at the table as Bo came in carrying a plate of food.  All the chicken and rice was passed around and few words were spoken.  Everyone was hungry and tired from the long day.  A clap of thunder sounded and Belle jumped.  "You ok?" Shawn asked her, reaching over her for some more food.  "Yeah, fine, thanks" she said, looking at him.  Shawn thought he saw a faint blush across her cheeks but the color didn't fade-he figured it was just her make-up.  They finished eating and everyone took their plates to the kitchen.  Greta volunteered to do the dishes and Eric agreed to help as everyone scattered.  Shawn hung aroudn the kitchen while Belle went to her room.  Outside the clouds opened up and the rain fell heavily.
     "Now what are we supposed to do?  It's raining" Shawn said.  "Why don't you go visit Belle and entertain her?" Eric said, winking at Greta.  "I could but that'll only entertain both of us for a little" he said, leaning up against the counter.  Greta gently pushed him out of the way.  "I have an idea" she said. "Why don't Eric and I go get some movies for us to watch.  It's been a long day so we can just relax".  "Sounds great" Eric said.  "Catch ya later" he added as they headed out the door.  Shawn sighed when he watched them run through the rain to Eric's car.  Shawn went down the hall and knocked on Belle's door.
     "Come in" he heard her say.  He let himself in where she was still unpacking.  He threw himself on her bed.  "Hey, Shawn, what's up?" she asked.  "Nothing, just bored" he said.  "Oh, by the way, Eric and Greta went to get some movies for us tonight"  "Great" she said, as she turned to go to her closet.
     "Whoa, Belle, come back here" he said.  She hung up the dress and walked back over.  "Turn around" he said.  She turned and her shoulders were a dark pink.  "Looks like you got sunburned-couldn't you tell?"  "Yeah, but there's nothing I can do about it" she said.  "My mom might have brought her aloe, I'll go get it for you" he said, jumping up and leaving before she could answer him.  He ran down the stairs and knocked on his parent's door.  His mom yelled for him to come in.  She was lying on the bed and she looked completely exhausted.
     "Mom, are you ok?" he asked, sitting next to her on the bed.  She smiled.  "Yes, it's just this heat and the sun and everything is getting to me and the baby-but I'll be fine" she said.  "Actually, could you be a dear and run and get me a glass of ice water?" Shawn jumped up and ran up to get her some water.  He came back down and handed it to her.  She took a long sip.  "Thanks, sweetie" she said.  "Now what did you need?"  "Belle's sunburned," he said.  "Did you bring your aloe with you?"  Hope thought for a minute.  "Yep, it's in the fridge" she said.  "Thanks mom, love you, bye!" he said, jumping up and leaving his mom shaking her head at her love-stricken son.
