None of it's mine. It's just fun to play.

The paperwork had been piling up for days, but she hadn't really felt like cleaning it off of her desk. Between the last case and her frazzled nerves, all she really wanted to do was go home to a beer and her dog. If she was lucky, no one would bother her, and she could watch the rest of her favorite cop drama.

She grunted as she stood up. He hands hurt. Her head ached. If she was really telling herself the truth, she was just run down and should probably take a few days off, but, of course, she wouldn't do that. Jane Rizzoli never takes a day off.

As she made her way to the elevators, she heard the distinctive click of high heels coming down the hall, and didn't bother to turn around. It was Maura. She knew it.

"Jane, are you already leaving to go home?" Dr. Isle's voice floated from somewhere behind Jane's head.

"Yup."

After a long pause where Jane assumed Maura was expecting more explanation, the ME spoke up again. "But, it's early for you, isn't it? Is everything okay?"

The elevator pinged and the doors opened. Jane stepped inside and watched the blonde follow her in. "Everything's fine, Maura. I just decided to leave at a reasonable time today. You know, for a change of pace."

Maura shifted her purse to her other shoulder as she eyed her friend. "You're going to watch that television show you like so much. Honestly, Jane, I don't understand why you like it so much. You practically live it every day. How can that be entertaining to you?"

Jane sighed. She had been hoping that Maura would stay late or leave early so she could avoid her. She wasn't really feeling up to company, and, though she loved her friend, she was just feeling antisocial overall.

"Maura, have you ever seen it?" Jane watched Maura flinched at the obvious annoyance in Jane's voice.

"No, you know I don't really watch a great deal of that sort of programming."

The elevator came to a stop, and they both stepped out.

"Maybe you shouldn't knock it until you try it, Dr. Isles." Jane headed for the exit trying to shake Maura.

"Well, maybe I can come over, and we can watch it together." Jane came to a dead stop in the parking lot. Maura realized she had made a mistake. "So you can explain why it's entertaining. On second thought, maybe some other time." She chewed on her bottom lip as she looked away from Jane.

Jane realized she could probably use the company more than the beer. "Okay, fine. When will you be over tonight?"

"In an hour? I have to feed Bass, and I'll want to change. How late do you think it will be?"

"I was going to marathon it. I haven't watched it most of the season, and the finale came on last night. So, I don't know, 4 or 5 hours? I have it all on Tivo."

Maura blinked. "That's quite a long time, Jane."

"I was going to order a pizza and watch the show." Jane smirked. "You don't have to stay for the whole thing."

Jane knew she was pushing Maura's buttons, and she knew Maura would come now regardless of her plans before. "I'll be there, but I'm bringing an overnight bag. After 4 or 5 hours of watching television while drinking with you, I doubt I'll be in any condition to drive home."

"Okay, I'll see you later." Jane shook her head and chuckled to herself as she made her way to her car. She really didn't see any way that Maura Isles was going to be able to sit through 4 hours of NCIS, but it'd be worth the attempt just to watch Maura watch the show.
