Chuck Vs. The Wilderness

[The scene begins with a calm, Thursday afternoon shot of the L.A skyline and the shore line of the beautiful beaches. You then cut to the chaos as Casey and Sarah are in a building with several other agents in the middle of a barrage of bullets flying everywhere as a gun battle ensues between Czech Republic Nationalists planning an assassination of high profile American diplomats who is meeting with Czech leaders to discuss plans for peace within their country that Chuck previously flashed on. Casey and Sarah have the situation well at hand and then the scene cuts to Casa Bartowski where Chuck is sitting at the counter helping Ellie make lunch and they are in the middle of having a conversation about Sarah]
Ellie: [concerned look]Chuck...I've been noticing that Sarah has been really stressed lately?
Chuck: [Chuckish grin]Sarah's just been kicking a lot of butt at her job.
[cut to scene with Sarah and Casey beating up baddies]
Chuck: She's being considered the employee of the month.
[Cut to Ellie turning to Chuck]
Ellie: That great…anyways…I wanted to tell you as a doctor she has to reduce that stress or she'll aggravate "her condition"
Chuck: [confused look]What con....[catches himself]…ahh...yes the spastic colon...yes she does.
Ellie: Why don't you and Sarah come with Devon and I on a camping trip up at Boulder Basin in San Bernardino this weekend. We haven’t been up there to spend time together in a while and besides it will help Sarah out a great deal. We can make it a family and friends outing. Casey, Tucker Morgan, and Anna can tag along if they want...we can even rent a huge RV. Plus, it will be fun for both you and Sarah because I haven’t really seen you two do anything together really fun/exciting except go out on dates.
[Cut to Sarah entangled in a fight with three baddies and eventually taking them all out and then back Chuck raises his eyebrows and gives a half hearted smile]
Chuck: [sarcastically]Ooookay...I'll spread the word.
[Cut to Chuck talking to Sarah with Casey after an apparent successful mission later in the day in the courtyard]
Chuck: [looks at Casey and Sarah]Listen…Ellie and Awesome are inviting the gang to go camping. She also said that it’s important for us to relieve any stress we may be having. We’re heading out tomorrow morning. Are you guys down and [looking around]please no guns. This is a weapon free weekend.
Casey: [smirks]Rest and relaxation sounds good. I need a break anyways…pounding bad guy’s faces in really takes a toll on you and I don't want to come to a point where it doesn't become fun anymore...[grins and breathes in/out]Roughing it in the woods with just the essentials you need. It’s just like being back in basic training.
[Cut to Chuck giving Casey a weird look who then walks into his apartment to pack his stuff for the trip]
Chuck: [watching him enter apartment ]Okay…[looks at Sarah]...pencil in John ‘Rambo’ Casey[cut to Sarah smiling as he turns to her]How about it?
Sarah: [Sarah thinks about it]Why not, I need to get away after the stressful day today.
[Ellie walks by and sees Sarah and Chuck]
Chuck: [sarcastic tone] We're in...so this weekend…singing koom by yah and growing out or facial hair…well more so for the guys than the ladies.
Ellie: [laughs it off and then talks to Sarah]It will be fun...really...and I think it will help you even more. A healthy body is a temple...remember that [places hand on Sarah's shoulder and then walks away]
[Sarah has this strange look on her face and looks at Chuck]
Sarah: [confused look]What is that all about?
Chuck: Nothing, she been doing a lot of Tai Chi lately...[both walking off camera]So camping huh?

With the magic of television you eventually see them arrive at the Boulder Basin campground and as they enter they see a sign that reads hunting is strictly prohibited. They inevitably all pile out stretching the kinks out after a long drive, and then proceed to talk]
Awesome: This is going to be an awesome weekend…[turns to Ellie]…Right babe?
Ellie: [looks at Awesome as she is hugging him]Yes it is…a weekend with family and friends…sitting by the campfire…roasting marshmellows…sleeping under the stars. What more can you ask for?
[Cut to Morgan walking up as she says that]
Morgan: [holding Anna’s hand as he looking around]Where are the portable bathrooms?
Tucker: [Walking up beside Morgan wearing a backpack and holding a fishing pole]Nature is your bathroom my friend…use leaves, pin cones or sticks as your toilet paper.
Anna: [looks at Tucker]You got to be kidding me? Did anyone bring toilet paper?
Awesome: Don’t worry….I got it covered. [showing package] It’s biodegradable so it doesn’t hurt the environment, which is awesome.
[You then cut to Chuck seeing Casey standing a few feet away taking in the scenery leading Chuck to go stand next to him. Casey looks out and tarts talking]
Casey: Do you smell that Bartowski?
Chuck: [smelling]Sorry…I’ve tried keeping that in for the past hour or so.
[Casey gives his usual glaring look at Chuck]
Casey: [looks at Chuck and then looks back out]No idiot…It’s nature…Nothing else in the world smells so wonderful than fresh open air. Not like the smog infested air back in Los Angeles.
Chuck: [looks at Casey]Casey…buddy…you okay?
Casey: [getting lost in the moment]I love the smell of nature in the morning. You know, when I was a pilot in the Air Force my plane was shot down in a wooded area somewhat similar to this and for 8 hours I was evading capture by Croatian military forces who were eager to either kill me or torture me. When it was all over, I was in a helicopter on my way home. The smell of rosemary…[breathes in/out] I smell it in the air now as I did back then.
[Cut to Chuck looking at Casey and then slowly backs away from him]
Chuck: [standing by Sarah]Umm…I think Casey has gone bye bye.
Sarah: [looks at Chuck and then at Casey]He’s fine…spending a few hours in a RV with Morgan after asking are we there yet so many times and singing 100 bottles of beer on the wall would may anyone go nuts.
Chuck: You got a point
[The scene ends with Team Bartowski going towards the RV in order to get their stuff and unload the rest of the essentials needed for roughing it for the weekend]

From the campfire on the other side, he could see the dark silhouette of Sarah’s figure as she changes clothes leading him to just stare to a point where his usual Chuckish smile appears on his face. He then snaps out it , goes over to where the gang is, drops the firewood near the fire, and sits down. Ellie, who is snuggled with Awesome, begins the conversation around the campfire as Sarah comes out of the tent after fully changing and snuggles next to Chuck giving him a smile]

Ellie: [looking at Chuck]Chuck…do you remember the fun times we used to have here?
Chuck: [thinking]Yeah I remember...remind me again what was fun about being stung by bees and being treated for poison ivy.[looking at Sarah] I looked like Michael Jackson with all the calamine lotion all over me.
[Sarah laughs and smiles]
Ellie: Yeah…[happy tone begins to turn sad]…those were the fun times when we were a family.
Chuck: [looks at Ellie]We still are a family sis…[looks all around]its just grown...i'd say for the better. Could you have dreamed for a better getaway than this as we it share this experience with the people we love and care about?[looks at Sarah who blushes]
[They all make a commotion agreeing to what Chuck said leading Ellie to initiate the time to hit the sack. Ellie and Awesome head to their tent, Morgan and Anna to theirs, Casey and Tucker go their tent, and Chuck and Sarah got to theirs.

Sarah: Chuck…did you mean what said?

Sarah:[smiling]No…about sharing this experience with the ones you love.
Chuck: [looks into Sarah’s eyes]I meant every word
[Cut to Sarah looking into Chuck’s eyes and leading both of them to go in closer for a kiss when all of sudden Morgan pops his head into the tent]
Morgan: [looks in]Sorry Mr. and Mrs. Bartwoski…Anna kicked me out because in her own words I was ogling Ellie.
Chuck: [a bit annoyed]Were you?
Morgan: Of course no...Yeah I was. Listen can I bunk with you guys? I would try Casey and Tucker’s tent but I think Casey wants to hurt me.
Chuck: How can you tell?
Morgan: I don’t know…maybe its because I may have accidentally set his sleeping bag on fire…who knows. Its okay though…its just a bit singed. Well…can I guys?
[Cut to Chuck grunting as he looks at Sarah]
Sarah: [nods him in]Come on in Morgan…and watch those hands mister.

Casey: [suspicious tone as he looks at both Casey and Sarah]What are you two love birds up to?
Sarah: [looks at Casey]If you must know…we told Ellie we’re going for a walk…just the to us…with you here its now threes a crowd.
Chuck: [looks at Casey]Shouldn’t you be terrorizing teenagers with a machete while wearing hockey mask or something? [notices the knife Sarah’s holding]Hey…didn’t we agree no weapons on this trip?
Sarah: You said not to bring guns…you didn’t say anything about bring a knife…or knives.
[Cut to Chuck giving a look to Sarah]
[As all three are discussing the finer points of listening and not scaring the guy with the government secrets in his head they hear a what sounds like some sort of hurt animal nearby. When they locate the sound they see it’s a California grizzly bear cub with his foot caught in a bear trap and then you hear a couple shots echoing in the air]
Casey: [serious look]Hunters
Chuck: Aren’t we going to do anything…you know stop the bad guy an all?
Sarah: [looks at Chuck]Let’s just leave it the authorities to handle because these are merely civilians breaking the law not terrorists, warlords, or hired assassins.
[cut to Casey nodding in agreement]
Chuck: [looking at Casey and Sarah]Listen…every life whether its human or an animal like that bear cub over there is sacred. So I’m going to save it with or without your help.
[cut to Chuck walking slowly towards the bear cub before he’s stopped by Casey]
Casey: [gives a low growl]All right Bartowski…wait hear and we’ll go get it out from the trap.
Sarah: [looking at Chuck and then at the trapped cub]Signal us if you see the momma because from the looks of it these hunters were setting a trap.

Hunter 2: [smacks his teeth]Its seems they’re spoiling our good day of hunting.
Sarah: Illegally
Hunter 1: [laughing]Darlin’ that’s the best kind of hunting to do.
[The hunters take them back to their base camp and as they are doing that Casey discrettly talks into his watch telling Chuck to wait in the RV because they’ll be handle the situation without himself in danger. Cut Chuck’s face as he freaks out a bit as he sees Casey and Sarah being led away]
