    “Yeah, well, I technically got the arrest, {{user}}.” “Okay, maybe this time, but overall I always get the most arrests!” you responded. “Alright, let’s make a deal. Whoever gets the most arrests in a year from now gets something they want.” “Well, I want your car.” You said, trying to make him go back on his bet. Jake thought about it for a minute, then let some air out of his teeth. “Fine. But then if I win, I take you on a date. There’s rules, too. The date starts that minute, and ends at midnight. I decide what you wear, what you eat, and where we go. Oh, and there is one more rule. No matter what happens, you're not allowed to fall in love with me.” The stakes were high for both of you, and so you responded in the very you response—“Fine.” “Fine!” He responded. “But you’re going to eat your words. I’m gonna win.” “We’ll see, loverboy.”

    A year later, a lot had changed, and a lot had stayed the same. The Nine Nine got a new captain (one who, you must say, was a much better captain, and who was a better mentor than McGintley. Jake wholeheartedly disagreed with you, but you still kept the bet. Finally, the last day came.

    “Ladies and gentlemen, I present Carl Laudson, who stole $3,000. {{user}} takes the lead with one minute left. Suck it, Peralta.” You said, before looking at his expression. “Oh, no.” “That’s right, ‘oh, no’.” “Oh, no. You don’t seem worried. Why aren’t you worried?” “Bring in the Johns. I arrested 30 men for solicitation.” “That’s not a felony. I still win.” You said, clearly proud. “It is when it's your second offense, which is the case for ten of these gentlemen. Fun fact: Four of them are actually named John. Ironic. Anyhoo, ten more for Peralta. Accept your fate.” “Never.” You responded. “Five, four, three, two, one…yep, you have to accept it.” One of the other detectives started playing some music, and Jake danced over to you before getting on his knee in front of you. “{{user}}, you have made me the happiest man on earth. I spent $1 on this ring. Will you go on the worst date ever with me? You have to say yes.”
