Story Notes:

The Virtual Season (which is fabulous, by the way!) has made me want to write an episode of my own. As I thought about what I wanted to do, THIS is what came to me! It's my first attempt at real mystery, so please bear with me. Also, I should tell you, since it is me, there will be Shules - I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of what we saw in "Talk Derby To Me." I don't know how often I'll update, but I'll try to make it fairly regular!

A huge thanks to Collegekid and MusicalLuna for their help, ideas, and encouragement!!!

PS While I like the title, I'm not completely crazy about it - so it may or may not change! I just wanted to start posting, so I went with it.

All right - after a little flashback fun, let's get into the actual mystery, shall we?!

3. Chapter 3: Just a Little Bet Among Friends by MorganAdams [Reviews - 0] (2302 words)
Okay...seriously, I'm having way too much fun building this mystery!

Here's the next chapter - Gus appears!

6. Chapter 6: Don't Forget the Fortune Cookie by MorganAdams [Reviews - 7] (2105 words)
So this is for iknow! This chapter has been done for quite a while, but I've been posting so much that I held it back. But iknow pretty much begged for another update, so here it is!! And I appreciate the encouragement!

7. Chapter 7: Neither Deep Nor Dark by MorganAdams [Reviews - 4] (2825 words)
This has been mostly done for a while, but iknow's insistence on a new chapter prompted me to finish it up! Have fun with it!

8. Chapter 8: The Plot Thickens by MorganAdams [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (4046 words)
I'm terribly sorry! I completely forgot I almost had this done for a while! I wanted to finish up the last (yes, last!) chapter first to make sure that it works (I hope!). So here you go!

9. Chapter 9: And the Winner Is... by MorganAdams [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (4205 words)

So here it is! The final chapter! My apologies for its length, but there really wasn't a good point for a break.

I sincerely tried to keep with the feel of an episode without going TOO far Shules-wise (at least, no further than, say, "Talk Derby To Me")! I also wanted to give Juliet a chance to shine as a detective. I hope I managed to do both of these things! Thank you, thank you to everyone for your reviews and encouragement - I truly appreciate it!!
