This was a prompt, I don't know if it turned out how they expected I kinnda like this one and i dont like this one. Need opinions people. :)

Old Friends.

The whole team were at a bar. It had only been three weeks since they had caught Red John and some relationship building was needed along with some alcohol. Lisbon had casually suggested it after a week of paperwork and subtle flirting with Jane. They had met up later so all were out of their work clothes, even Jane had made an effort trading his suit in for jeans and a white shirt. Lisbon had decided to be a bit more daring in what she wore, a tight top and the smallest skirt she owned, she didn't know why she had chosen this particular outfit. Maybe she was hoping to force a reaction out of Jane, and if that didn't work at least she knew she wouldn't be going home alone that night.

They were all on their 3 round and Van Pelt and Lisbon were well on their way to being drunk as they were smaller and had a lower tolerance to alcohol. Jane was watching Lisbon, She looked different, a good different defiantly a good different and he was enjoying watching her chest expand with every breath she took, but still she looked different. He looked up momentarily to try and catch their waitresses eye when he saw a woman walking towards their table, she was looking intently at Lisbon. Jane eyed her intently as she got nearer, he guessed she was an old friend who Lisbon had lost touch with when she had joined the force.

"Teri? That you?"

Lisbon's head whipped round so fast you'd have thought she would have whiplash. "Kim? What are you doing here, you moved to England?" she got up and hugged her old friend. "Gosh it's been so long."

"Yeah I know, I have only come back for a wedding in the family, they are due soon for the Hen night. How have you been? Got a boyfriend? Or let me guess which one it is." She paused to look around the table. "Him!" her finger stopped on Jane who looked more amused than startled or embarrassed like Lisbon did. "You always had a thing for blondes, though I have to say he is the best blonde you have had. Oooh remember the one with the funny teeth then he got braces and when he kissed you he cut your lip cause they caught. Ohh that was so funny."

Lisbon had turned a whole new shade of red. She attempted to stutter out an answer denying all but Jane had suddenly stood up and slung his arm around her. She looked up at him with a confused expression.

"Yeah were together. She's pretty amazing." Jane grinned at Kim who had to excuse herself because her party had arrived. She gave Lisbon her number and promised to stay in touch completely unaware of the relationship she had just pushed in the right direction.

Later that night Kim glanced over to where Lisbon had been sitting to see her virtually sitting on the hansom mans lap kissing him and him responding enthusiastically, with wondering hands.
