"CBI Halloween Costume Party" read Lisbon. She moaned at the thought! It was tonight and she still didn't have a costume. Why did CBI have to have these silly parties anyways!
Van Pelt knocked on her door, "Boss? You going to the party tonight?"
"Eh, I don't know…"
"What?" Jane popped his head in the door, "Com' on Lisbon! You must come! It wouldn't be a party without you!"
"Yeah, Boss!" said Grace.
"But I don't have a costume!"
"That's why I have this…" Jane said as he reached for a bag from behind his back.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Open it when you get home."
She looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't worry! You'll like it and look great in it! What? Don't think I haven't noticed you've been a little extra grumpy lately, I knew it was because you didn't know what to wear, so I got you something!"
"Okay… but it better be something good!"
"It is! Trust me!" He said as he slipped out the door.
"But I don't trust you!" teased Lisbon. Grace snickered.
"See you at the party then!" said Grace as she too left.
Lisbon opened up the bag at home and found a little black dress with a tail on the back, a little headband with black ears and black gloves.
"A Cat!?" she asked! "He wants me to be a Cat!?"
She sighed, "Jane must die!" she said to herself as she tried on her costume.
The party was held at the Sacramento State Park. When the team arrived there were already lanterns strung out and bonfires started. It looked really festive. The parking was up on a hill and the party area was down some stairs.
Grace wandered down to the campfire were Jane stood. "Wow, don't you look nice Jane!?" she called to him, "Are you James Bond!? Or should I say, "JANE BOND""
Jane smiled and bowed. Suddenly a scary Frankenstein crept up behind Grace, she screamed. Rigsby laughed! "Rigsby is that you!?"
"Ah, Cho, nice to have you join us," said Jane to the Army painted fellow walking up behind Rigsby.
"Yeah. Don't mention it," replied Cho.
"Has anyone seen Lisbon?" asked Jane as he looked around.
"I saw her pull in right behind me," answered Cho.
Just then Jane looked up and saw a pair of tiny legs walking down the steps. His eyes followed them up to a short little black dress. It was strapless. A hand in long black glove graced the stair railing as she walked down. Her black hair brushed her shoulders… It was Lisbon. When their eyes met. Jane smiled even brighter. She had drawn a cute little cat nose and whiskers on her face.
Jane walked over to her. Took her by the hand, "You look…" he looked her up and down. "You look Purrr-fect!" She blushed as he lead her to the campfire with the others.
