"You know what, Maura?" Jane broke the elongated silence that was now between them, as Maura was working on a body.
"No, what?" Maura stood upright, tilting her head, looking skeptically at Jane.
"I know what I want to dress up as for Halloween." Jane said triumphantly. It was 4 days til Halloween and Detective Frost was holding a party which majority of the Homicide Unit was attending. Also, Maura was going.
"Oh yes, and what or who are you going as?" Maura continued working, examining the John Doe's intestines. Jane made a face at Maura out of revolt.
"I, Jane Rizzoli, am going to be Cher, for Halloween, this year." Jane clapped her hands together whilst an idea popped into Maura's head.
"Oh. Sounds like fun… have you by any chance organized your costume yet?" Maura was still inspecting the deceased man's internal organs.
"No, I haven't actually looked into it. I'll look later and probably find something by tomorrow."
"Oh, alright then." She simply said.
"Why, what are you going as? Or who?"
"I'm going as Special Agent Kate Todd from NCIS. Have you ever watched that show? It's one of my favourites."
"Never heard of it but good for you. Can't wait to see your costume, Maur." And with that, Jane turned and left. Maura quickly set down the organs in her hands, took of her gloves and washed her hands. She headed straight for her laptop with a special purchase in mind.

1 day til Halloween.
Knock, knock, knock.
The door swung open to a very flustered looking Jane. She smiled at Maura before letting her eyes wonder to the clothing bag in Maura's arms.
"May I come in, Jane?" Maura asked.
"Oh, right, yeah sure," Maura entered and Jane shut the door behind her. "So what's in the bag?"
"A little Halloween gift for you. Go ahead, open it!" Maura looked almost giddy as she handed the clothing bag to Jane. Jane looked at it, then at Maura with an expression that said 'Do I even want to know? Probably not.'
Jane opened the bag and her eyes widened. She took the bag off completely leaving the costume on the hanger. She twirled it in her hands. It's got a wig and everything Jane thought to herself.
"Maur, is this…"
"A Cher costume. An exact replica of the one Cher wore in 'If I Could Turn Back Time' actually," Maura beamed at Jane, and Jane chucked a fake one back. Maura immediately caught on. "What's wrong Jane, don't you like it?"
"What? No, no, no I love it! I adore it, it's just that…," Think fast, Rizzoli! "I actually looked everywhere for a goof Cher costume, and then I couldn't find one… so I just went and bought some new Red Sox gear and I am now going as a Red Sox player." Jane made a popping noise with her lips. "I'm sorry, I should've told you."
"No. no it's okay Jane. Really it is. I should've checked first." Maura gave a sad smile.
"I'll wear it next year, I promise." I can't believe I just said that, oh well, anything for her.
"Okay, thanks Jane." Jane closed the space between them and enveloped Maura into a hug.
"Can't wait for the party."
