AN: I'm absolutely terrible with updating, but I promise to do my best. This little image just wandered into my head, and I couldn't shake it; I know it's short, but more will come soon :)

The shrill ring of her phone startled Lisbon from a dream she'd been having. In her dream, Jane had admitted he loved her and she had stayed in Florida with him. Dream-Jane sure could kiss well, and had continued to prove that the entire trip back to Texas.

Feeling guilty that she was dreaming of Jane and of kissing him when she could feel Pike next to her, she shot out her hand and grabbed her phone from the bedside table.

"Lisbon," she barked into the phone.

"Ah good you're awake, Lisbon."

She paused for a moment, confused. "Abbott?"

But if that was Abbott on the phone... She shot upright in bed and turned to her slumbering companion. A mop of blond curls greeted her.

"Sheep dip," she muttered. It hadn't been a dream then.

"Lisbon? Are you there?"

"Sorry, yes," she stammered into her phone, eyes still glued on Jane lying in her bed.

"Good. I need you to come on, we've got a case."

"Yes, sir. We'll be right there."

Shit.

Did she just...?

Judging by the silence on the other side of the line, she had. She winced ad mentally kicked herself.

"I was going to call Jane next, but it seems I don't have to. Bring him with you. Maybe he'll actually be on time for once."

She gulped. "Yes, sir, right away."

Abbott hung up and Lisbon flopped down on to the bed with a groan.

"Don't worry about it, Lisbon. He's been rooting for us from the get-go."

Lisbon jumped at the voice coming from beside her; she hadn't realised he was awake.

"What do you mean?"

"He have me his car keys to go after you, Teresa. I'm pretty sure he approves."

She huffed. "Maybe. Still doesn't mean I need to advertise it. God, was this how Rigsby and VanPelt felt when I called them in?"

"Most likely, yes. And look at how happy they are now."

She shot a sideways glance at him, a reluctant smile teasing her lips.

"I thought it was a dream."

"Mmm, good dream?"

"The best," she whispered softly.

Jane finally opened his eyes beside her and smiled at her, before winking playfully.

"Come on, we'd better get going or Abbott's goodwill might not last very long."
