Disclaimer- if I owned this amazing show, I wouldn't need to go to retail shops and discount stores.
"Passengers, the plane has started it's descend to New York. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts as we will be arriving soon. Thank you for riding United Airlines."
The plane slowly began to dip, and the pressure dropped. A man reached across his seat to the woman asleep next to him. And tickled her.
"Ah!" she shouted out. Blushing furiously when everyone turned to look at her in confusion. " Damn it, Jane! Why the hell did you do that!" she whispered harshly as she tried to tone down her voice.
Patrick Jane laughed softly and gave the woman a cheeky smile. "Aww, Lisbon. I was worried that you would be in shock if you were asleep and you felt the air pressure dip. I thought you'd be grateful, to say the least."
Teresa Lisbon. The woman of his dreams who was almost unattainable to anybody. She was his best friend and he couldn't have been more happy when she agreed to go for a date with him two months ago. Since then, they've reached third base and beyond, plus they have continued to remain unnoticed by the other agents... Well, except Cho.
"Somehow, Jane, I find that extremely hard to believe." she smirked.
Patrick Jane. The one and only man who she could love and hate at the same time. She had loved him for so long and when he finally asked her out a month ago, she had nearly jumped him in happiness right then and there. She got her chance to do so after a few dates. Now, they were full fledged and successfully avoiding hightower, their boss.
The ground was visible but the plane hit turbulence and Lisbon grabbed onto the handrest painfully. Until Jane gently put his hand on top of hers and started rubbing small circles on it, knowing that it would calm her down. He allowed himself to smile when she finally began to relax and her breathing was less stressed.
She leaned into his side gratefully, glad that they could have PDA without worrying about people they knew seeing them here. Smiling to herself as she felt him kiss the top of her head softly, she turned to him and pressed her lips against his. He immediately kissed her back, but pulled away just as she wanted to deepen it. Seeing her obvious disagreement, he pecked her pouting lips quickly before turning away with a smug grin and leaning to the other side.
The plane landed without a fault and Jane went to get the luggage. Lisbon was still slightly pissed at him and was giving him the silent treatment, which obviously left Jane unfazed. So, Lisbon decided to drop her childishness for a second and called her other best friend. One that didn't quite annoy her as much.
"Hey Becks! I've just arrived at the airport. Do you want us to wait for you or head to the hotel first?"
"Lis! It's great to hear you! I can't believe you're really here! How bout you guys head to the hotel first and then I will meet you for lunch?"
"Sounds good!" plus it will give me some time for revenge. She thought, her face turning to mischief at the tap from Jane.
"I'll call ya then! Bye!" Kate smiled as she too, put the phone down.
They flagged a cab in silence and the silent war continued until they reached their suite, and then Lisbon snatched him by the collar and pulled him into a hot and passionate kiss, pulling away just for a moment to shut the door, and dragged him to their bed.
Castle was writing, for once. Beckett seemed more cheerful that morning, and had even left early to meet someone, a friend, she said. He suspected it was the people that they were supposed to meet that week. Although there was a chance that... No, she wouldn't take up another relationship after breaking up with Josh so soon.
"Richard?"
"Dad?"
"Son?"
The three calls chimed all at once. He never knew how they always were able to do that. Sadly, he knew he could never ignore them with these tones. He reluctantly shut down his laptop and paced out the door slowly.
"There you are! Richard, Alexis is going with Ashley to a dance tomorrow. I want to take her shopping. Is that okay? Plus, Martha mentioned she would like to join us. "
"Pleeeeeaseeee daddyyy~~" Alexis suddenly showed up on cue to provide the cute pout while dragging out her words like she used to do when she was nine.
"I think it's a good idea for us red heads to bond." Martha smiled as she came out of the room all ready to go out right then and there.
"Sure. Why not?" He agreed distractedly while glancing at his phone that was vibrating.
"Wait. What? What happened to Mr 'No way is Alexis going to a dance with some guy.' ? Are you really Rick? Or have you suddenly come from another planet? Or worse! Did you just go into the Pharoh's Tomb? It's never a good idea..." Meredith suddenly burst out.
Castle was surprised by her change of attitude. Since when had she ever listened to a word I say? He thought.
Maybe Meredith really is changing... For the better.
The last thing he heard was Martha and Alexis agreeing with her about some alien thing.. Okay, maybe his whole family became aliens...
After everything was said and done, Lisbon finally answered her phone as she curled up in her lover's arms.
"Yes?" she replied in a sedated voice because she was too spent to think of anything else.
"Ahem. I think we were supposed to meet half an hour ago at the restaurant downstairs. " came a familiar crisp and sharp voice.
"Shit. I'm so sorry Kate, let me get him and we will meet you now!" Lisbon was flustered as she snapped open her luggage and pulled out a new pair of shorts and a tee shirt. She ran into the bathroom and locked the door, having Jane around was distracting to say the least...
Meanwhile, Kate was downstairs getting bored out of her mind. So bored that she texted Castle just to have her hands occupied.
-I'm bored.-
-Why, my dear Detective, you're quoting ME?, now I'm interested. How may I help you?:D-
-Can you make lunch today? It's not a date. Don't get any ideas.:P-
-Sure. I would be glad to meet your friends Detective. You know I would never say 'no' to you.-
Beckett slid her phone shut after sending him the address, and she looked up when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps and suddenly she was enveloped in a tight hug.
"K-becks! I've missed you!"
"So we're back to T-Lis and K-Becks eh? Nice to see you again Lisbon." she smiled as she returned the hug. She noticed a really hot guy (if she must admit) standing a few feet away, looking slightly awkward.
"Right. Introductions. Jane, this is my best friend, Kate Beckett. And Kate, this is my...um. consultant, Patrick Jane." Kate was sharp to notice the slight pause and blush at the word consultant. She gave Teresa a look that said 'we will discuss this later.' Now she finally understood how Lanie felt...
"Aww. I missed the introductions? That's the best part!" Kate felt herself smile when she heard his voice and felt him step up behind her.
"Castle, this is my best friend, Teresa Lisbon, and her consultant-"
"Patrick Jane? Yeah, I know him. It's great to see you again Patrick." Rick grinned at Jane before shaking Teresa's hand.
"To address your question, we met a long time ago at an interview where Richard here was doing research for Derrick Storm." Patrick gave Kate a crooked smile when he saw her shocked face.
"How did you-"
"do that? I have magic powers of mind reading." Jane commented, earning himself a slap on the shoulder from Lisbon.
"Shut it, Jane. Stop gloating. Don't look so amazed K-Becks, he's just really observant. That's why people call him the Mentalist."
"Nah, it's just that you're easy to read." he argued back.
"And you're easily played." she smirked.
"Only by you, Lisbon. And you know I only let you win, because I know the rewards of being obedient ." he whispered the last part in her ear, making her flush madly at the thought of what they were doing earlier.
Kate allowed a happy smile to cross her face when she watched the two converse. They were just like Castle and her, completely in their own world and disregarding everyone else when they banter. It was easy to pick up the signs that they were together, to a normal person they might just be good partners but it was they way Lisbon leaned slightly towards him when he whispered to her, the way their fingers were touching when they stood next to each other, the way their eyes rarely stopped glancing at the other unless they were glaring intensively at someone. Or rather someone, else.
Kate found herself watching Castle out of the corner of her eye, just making sure he was there with her, and not walking off somewhere. He probably noticed it since after a while he came and stood next to her and remained there.
The rest of the evening consisted of Jane and Castle going to the Old Haunt for a drink, leaving the girls alone for some girl talk.
"So, tell me all about your secret relationship with your 'mentalist'?" Kate leaned towards Teresa and teased.
"If you wanna put it that way, what about you're obvious love for your writer boy?" Lisbon smirked as she didn't falter for a second. See? Working with Jane made her learn good comebacks too.
"Why does everyone call him that?" Kate tried unconvincingly to change the subject. Making Lisbon almost burst into a fit of laughter.
"You got it that bad, huh?"
"I don't know."
"Kate, it was really obvious to me. How obvious do you think it was to Jane? You're lucky if he isn't telling Rick all about your 'undying love' for him right now."
"Are you kidding me? I knew I shouldn't have let them meet. Now they're gonna annoy us much more." Kate sighed in exasperation.
"Eh, Jane will be fine. I know how to tame him." Lisbon said with a shy smile.
"oh yes. I have to ask, as a BFF must take this responsibility." kate looked at her seriously and Teresa seemed slightly troubled at her sudden change in demeanor.
"Is he in the Top 10?" Lisbon was visibly relieved but the question somehow brought out some fake uncertainty. She nodded slightly, blushing.
"Top 5? oh wait, that's an insult. Is he in the Top 3?" Kate pushed, finally seeing her response. Her face was red with embarrassment ut she leaned forward to say in a low voice "Topped it."
"Now who's got it bad? Good job Lis." Kate grinned as Teresa gave her a feeble slap on the arm which she swiftly avoided.
"Anyway, Jane can be really sweet when he wants to. I'm sure Castle just acts like a kid. He and Jane are quite similar actually..." she trailed off after thinking for a bit.
"NAH..." They both said at the same time.
The two girls clinked glasses and continued to talk and drink until the two guys came by to pick them up and take them back.
