By the end of the night everyone was scheduling their dates, everyone except for Jane Rizzoli who was still backstage. She was sitting on a step when she was approached from behind.

" Jane what are you doing back here? Go talk to her."

" Ma, I just need a minute ok. It's snot everyday your best friend spends five thousand dollars just for a date with me."

" Jane Clementine Rizzoli. You get your foot out of your ass."

" Ma."

" no, you listen to me. She didn't just bid on you for no reason. The two of you have been going around this for so many years. It's about time you both do something about it. She just had the guts to do it before you."

" Are you really ok with me going out with a woman?"

" No. Not really but were talking about you and Maura. I know deep down that Maura's it for you. Janey she's the only one you let see you cry, that you let hug you , and not to mention your actual feelings. She's it.. I know it and deep down you do to. Just try it."

" ok. I will. I'll give it a try. Your right Ma. Just don't repeat that to anyone."

" what that you said I was right. I won't." Rolling her eyes she helps her daughter stand and they walk from backstage and join the awaiting pair.

Maura was waiting with Cavanaugh, Angela's date when the mother daughter pair walked up to them.

" Uh Sean let's go and leave these two alone."

He just shook his head yes.

"have a good night girls."

Maura decided to speak first because she knew Jane wasn't very good with her feelings.

" Look Jane if you don't wan this date with me and you'd rather have it with Casey I understand. I just want you to be happy."

Taking a deep breath and looking straight into Maura's eyes Jane finally said what she had been thinking since Maura had won the bid.

" Maura, if we do this. I mean if we go out on this date just please promise me that we will stay friends no matter what happens?"

" I will always be your friend. I promise you that."

" Then Dr. Isles when will this date of ours occur? You did spend good money for it."

Letting out a breath, realizing she hadn't lost Jane. She may have made their relationship stronger.

"How about tomorrow and I'll pick you up at 7 sharp."

"Sounds good. Kind of weird, I always thought I'd be the guy."

" And I remember telling you it's just a stereotype."

They walked to the front door with Jane opening the door for Maura.

"Right stereotype." She whispered to herself. They both got into their separate cars and headed towards their separate homes but were both thinking the same thing, the next night was their date with their best friend.

Once Jane had made it home to her apartment. She found Casey on her step.

"Casey. I'm sorry, you didn't win the auction."

" Jane, are you going to go out with her?" he asked straight forward and aggressively.

" Yes, Casey I am."

" No. No you can't go out with her or we're over."

" we were never together Casey. You leave and come back and leave and come back. I didn't even know you were going to be here tonight."

" This isn't over Jane."

" You threatening me?"

" No. I'm threatening your little girlfriend."

Casey storming off her front steps and drove off. She wasn't too worried about what he has said but to be on the safe side would be watching their surroundings extra carefully. What he had said that she liked was he called Maura her Girlfriend and she had to be honest with herself she was starting to like that idea more and more.
