The Bullpen

The two women were typing messages to each other as if their lives depended on it. Bobby watched them, bewildered and was about to ask what they had in mind but was met with a glare from Lucy.

Lola: So what exactly have you got in mind?

Luce: I was thinking something along the lines of... some sort of theme.

Lola: What type of theme exactly?

Luce: I dunno...

Lola: How about famous couples?

Luce: Nah that's too common. We should do something different.

Lola: A but this will be different.

Lucy looked up from her computer and gave Tara a quizzical look, before turning her attention back to the computer screen.

Luce: Okay, I'm listening... or should I say reading?

Lola: Well, I'm thinking that we get to pick the couples...

Luce: And?

Lola: And, well we write the guy's names on paper, and put them in a hat... Or something and do the same with the girl's. Then we pick a slip of paper each but we're not allowed to know who's our partner until Halloween night.

Luce: Great idea!! Except... we should make sure Sue and Jack get paired.

Lola: Still playing matchmaker? :oP Just kidding, sounds good. Now we have to think of famous couples. Hmm... how about Elvis and Priscilla?

Luce: Perfect for Bobby, if he gets it! What about Sonny and Cher?

Lola: Great! And Clark Kent and Lois Lane?

Luce: Yes! And hmm... Mulder and Scully?

Lola: That shouldn't be too difficult but yeah!

Luce: And last, but not least, I think we should have Jack and Sue dress as Sandy and Danny!

Tara burst out laughing, earning her odd looks from Bobby, D and Myles.

"That is absolutely genius!"

"What is?" the Aussie asked of them

"Um... nothing!"

"Yeah right Lucy, spill."

"Actually, I don't think I will."

"Oh, come on Sheila!"

"You'll find out as soon as Jack and Sue get back - speak of the devils!"

She said the last part, as she spotted the pair reentering the bullpen.

"Did I hear someone talking about us?" Jack enquired.

"We were just talking about what Lucy and I came up with for the Halloween party."

"Yeah, so gather round guys. And don't say one word!"

They did as they were told, and Lucy held out a tin with the pieces of paper for the guys. One by one, they picked out their half of the famous couples. Then Tara let Luce pick one from her tin, and she took hers, leaving one at the bottom for Sue.

"Okay, the names you've got are all one half of a famous couple. You are not to reveal your identity until the party, you'll know who your partner is then, and not before. Now D and Bobby, I've kept two names out for Donna and Darcy, though I don't know if they'll actually be paired with you on the night, since I don't know what names you've got. And I will be telling them who they're dressing as, and they'll be sworn to secrecy so don't even try to get it out of them!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Both Bobby and D saluted Tara at the same time, laughing.

The famous couples went forgotten for the rest of the day while the team helped Jack and Sue move into their new house.
