Fond Memory
One night after the kids had gone to bed and it was just the two of them relaxing together a memory washed over them. Their wine glasses sat on the coffee table. The duo remembered a time when they had gone out with everyone.

"How about the Old Haunt? We do know the owner." Ryan quipped.
The others agreed.
"Let's get Lanie and Jenny in on this." Beckett suggested.
With that as the three detectives and their civilian consultant leaving the precinct; Gates watched on in the sort of mother of the merry band of misfits from her office.
At the Old Haunt; Lanie and Jenny were waiting for the rest of the group.
"We had a bit of a hard time getting a table. The new bartender didn't believe that we knew the owner." Lanie said.
Before Lanie was a beer while Jenny had a soda in front of her.
The others joined the ladies at the table. The bartender came over with a round of beers for the detectives and his boss.
"You must be Mr. Castle's wife." the bartender said to Beckett.
"I am."
"It's nice to finally meet my other boss."
The boys laughed once the bartender left the group to their drinks.
"To our well- deserved night out."
"To couples' night out." Jenny said.
Cheers and saluds had been uttered. The three couples enjoyed their night out together. A while later after the drinks were finished the group had decided to head over to Remy's for burgers in the early morning hours.

"That was good night." Castle said after he came out of his reverie and brought Beckett out hers.
"That it was; babe, that it was."
There was a pause.
"We should do it again." Castle said.
"Yeah we should."
With that Castle and Beckett went back to what they were doing before the memory came to them.
