A/N: One reviewer specifically asked for fluff, so there will be very little case in here! (You guys deserve it, anyway.)

Disclaimer: I don't own the Mentalist, or Princess Bride. (No, I have not lost my mind.)

Hightower, who they had never hung up, said,

"Patrick, this is getting too personal for you. I wanted to take you off of the case when we found out that Red John was your wife-ex wife- whatever. Anyway, I left you on because you have been chasing Red John for about seven years, so I thought you deserved to be there when she was caught, but now you are making excuses to cover up the fact that she's targeting Agent Lisbon. I think you just can't stand the idea of your wife as a killer, and the idea or her killing someone you love is just unimaginable for you. You are off of the case until further notice. And, Lisbon, obviously you can't work the case if you are the target. Way too personal. You are also off the case until further notice. Agent Cho, you're in charge of the team for now. I will pull the strings I have to, Rigsby and Van Pelt will join you soon. Rigsby isn't injured too badly, he'll be fine. Good bye."

Lisbon asked quickly,

"What about Patricia? Van Pelt…"

"She can stay with Sophie."

Before Lisbon could say anything else, Hightower hung up.

Jane sighed and said,

"Well, Lisbon, if we're both kicked off of the most important case of our lives, the least we can do is spend it together. What do you want to do?"

Lisbon thought for a moment.

"Well, we have been going almost non stop for nearly twenty-four hours. We have eaten once the whole time. I would say, dinner."

He nodded.

"I'm driving."

She shook her head quickly.

"Patrick, you know I love you, but that doesn't change the fact that you are the world's worst driver. And," She added with a grin,

"I have the keys."

She stuck her hand in her pocket, and frowned. She looked at him. He was just grinning innocently. She rolled her eyes, realizing there was only one time he could have done it.

"Seriously? You picked my pockets? While we were kissing? I believe you think I'm going to go easy on you now!"

Jane just kept grinning and walked toward the car. All of the sudden, Lisbon had an idea. She leaned back against the wall suddenly and started making loud sobbing noises. He turned back to her worriedly. When she didn't react, he walked up to her and asked,

"What's wrong?"

She managed between sobs,

"I-I thought that with-with everything going on you-you would take a break from-from being a pain-but I-I guess not…"

He pulled her into his arms.

"Teresa, everything's going to be ok."

She pulled away, sniffling. She whispered,

"Now it is."

He blinked in confusion. She grinned and held up in her hand the keys. He gasped in surprise, realizing what she'd done.

"I-I can't believe you-"

He couldn't continue. They both laughed the whole way to the car.

"I-I can't believe you did that! I actually thought you were upset that I-Oh, well. Now I shall have my revenge!"

She giggled as she settled into the driver's seat.

"What kind or revenge? The last time you threatened me with 'revenge,' you messed with my mind through a whole case, but…"

He laughed mysteriously.

"You'll see."

She rolled her eyes, but she couldn't keep a smile off of her face.

"Where are we going to eat?"

He looked thoughtful for a moment, before saying,

"Your favorite- Italian."

She glanced at him, surprised.

"How did you…never mind. You're you."

He laughed and nodded.

They drove into the parking lot of a fancy Italian restaurant a few minutes later.

Jane politely got the door for Lisbon. They walked in and Jane said,

"Steve, unless you want your wife to know about your girlfriend, I would advise you give us a table now."

The greeter frowned, but nodded.

"Ok, um, right this way…"

Lisbon looked at Jane in confusion. He shrugged and whispered into her ear,

"Well, we're supposed to have a reservation in order to eat here, but I didn't feel like waiting that long."

She rolled her eyes.

"How can you go from gentleman to five year old in less than thirty seconds? We could have waited a few minutes!"

He shrugged with a smile.

"It's a gift."

She shook her head.

"Remind me again why I feel in love with you?"

He laughed.

"Because I am absolutely charming!"

Lisbon wondered if it would be acceptable to hit him in a fancy restaurant.

Jane pulled her seat out for her and pushed it back in when she sat down, then went over to his seat.

"Wha-what would you like to drink?" The waiter asked, still shaken.

They ordered their drinks, and started reading the menu. Jane calmly said,

"You are going to order spaghetti. You love Italian, but you also love simplicity."

Lisbon studied the menu, trying to find something else, just to bug him. After five minutes, she gave up. The waiter came back with drinks and asked,

"So, are you two ready to order?"

They nodded. Jane spoke up before Lisbon could.

"I will have spaghetti, and so will the lady."

Lisbon suddenly had the desire to stick her tongue out him, but resisted.

Dinner was fairly quiet, as they were both very hungry. After dinner, Jane drove Lisbon home. Without them even discussing it, Jane walked inside her house.

Lisbon sighed tiredly.

"Want to watch a movie?"

Jane nodded.

"Sure."

He started looking through her movies. Something caught his eye. It was hidden back behind all of her action movies, but he still saw it. He laughed.

"Seriously, Lisbon? Princess Bride?"

She glared at him.

"What? It's a good movie!"

He laughed and said,

"Ok, we'll watch it."

She shrugged and nodded. He put it in and joined her on the couch.

Jane frowned as it started.

"I thought this was about a princess?"

Lisbon laughed.

"You have never seen the Princess Bride, have you?"

He shook his head.

"You'll see."

They watched for a few more minutes.

"I'm not sure who I like better, the boy or the grandfather!"

Lisbon laughed again.

"I have to say the boy, although I did like that line." She answered, referring to the

'Thank you very much, that's very nice of you.' comment.

"I don't know," He answered, "I liked him sneaking 'True Love' in there with all of the other stuff."

Lisbon laughed again, and they resumed watching.

"Wow, she is really bossy. Please tell me they don't fall in love!" Jane commented. Lisbon laughed again.

"So, you can have a soft spot for bossy women, but he can't?"

Jane realized she was extremely tired when a blush didn't accompany that statement. She was too tired to realize it was embarrassing.

He just returned his attention to the movie.

They kept watching for a while, and then Jane felt a head on his shoulder. He pretended not to notice, as it would probably embarrass her. He watched for a little while longer, and then he heard a soft snore. He smiled silently, stopped the movie, and carefully moved, leaning her down to where she was laying on the couch. He took off his jacket and laid it over her, kissed her forehead and then moved to a chair near the couch, knowing that she would probably shoot him when she woke up if he didn't.

They stayed like that for a while. Jane actually thought about going home, but decided that he didn't want to take the chance that he was wrong about Angela. About two hours later, his phone buzzed. He answered softly,

"Hey Cho. What's up?"

"Jane, we have a problem. We just went to the address that Daniel Ruskin paid for, and it's definitely Angela's. She's not here, but she has been. There is stuff in here that-well, she made a bomb in here, and now she has it with her, wherever she is."

Jane realized what was going on.

"She's coming here. She's going to get rid of both of my 'true loves' at once."

A/N: Well, I couldn't end the chapter with them being perfectly happy, could I? Not until Red John can't bother them anymore. Still, I hope this is fluffy enough! :)
