hope this one has another chapter, their lunch then that monkey doctor lady (the one who almost asked Jane out) sees them together assuming Lisbon is THE wife. LOL. been re-watching the mentalist this quarantine, makes me sane.

good story! :D

hahaha this was hilarious!

Really funny!

I love this, you recreated their banter and dynamic exactly right. Thank you for the laugh !

I was standing with mintlist

Very nice it is a shame that there is no more tot his sotrybut thanks very much for the read

Nice story are we getting the next installments it would be nice

Too much fun! Loved it!

*laughs aloud* he is such an ass...but we all love him anyways! :)

You had SO MANY great lines in that first part when he was teasing her! and I liked this line too: "sometimes your efforts to be nice result in the two of us being sent to Mexico in a shipping container." Loved the whole thing.

You definitely paint a plausible picture. Very entertaining, classic interaction between them. Thank you for writing it.

Actually, I was only bothered by the fainting-Vanna White wasn't my take on the classroom scene (though, but for how hugely good Lisbon was in her role in the "Not One Red Cent" ep, and that was, I think more my reflection when I rewatched in an effort to find more to like about that episode), because my sense was that Lisbon, who I, foolishly, I'm sure, was in on the whole thing, and thus more of a partner than assistant...albeit with less fun participation than what I quite enjoyed in "Devil's Heart"-wow, talk about being side-tracked, I meant to say that I REALLY enjoyed your deconstruction of the 'lovely assistant' role that so chuffed you, irrespective of whether I was in need of it or not. I frankly LMAO at the leotard riff! Still, though I got considerable joy out of the fun from fainting (that would be the only point of having the scene in the first place when one has only 42 minutes a week to entertain one's audience-even if it would still have had the aroma of being disrespectful to Lisbon) that you provided here for my tolerance (albeit with clenched teeth, while I waited with out satisfaction for some credible canon justification). I still have no Fing clue why they did that and only, grudgingly to be sure, imagine that the remnants of such justification were long ago accidently swept off the cutting room floor. Thankfully, however, I now have the substantial entertainment I derived from your great little tale as a reward for my forbearance with canon. Thank you, Dear. ps, Naturally, I am happy that my (to this day!) irritation with the fainting is shared by others. Great minds and all of that. If only it had been a feint...too early in the ep for that, however. Oh, well...but thanks again!

Cute story!

That was an awesome addition! I, too, thought it was weird and a bit unnecessary for Lisbon to go all Vanna White, but i like the way you explained it!

It's so funny/strange: everything you hated about this episode, I liked, and what you liked, I didn't!

check-*loved* the fainting bit (know a lot of people did)! saw the preview, looked forward to it for days,
X-wished they'd done more with it, elaborated on it, shown the "after', her waking up:(;(
check-liked the Vanna White bit, thought it was amusing and cute
X-Jane offering to "teach" his skills to the class, thought that was a little arrogant. I love him to pieces, but what makes him think those people want to listen to him ramble on about...anything?

BIG X-the Cho/Rigsby dino discussion. Cho has been really getting on my nerves lately, imo he has become somewhat of a bully towards Rigsby; he mocks/puts down everything Rigsby does, likes, or says.
-criticizes his preference of dinosaur "it's a big chicken with teeth", really?
-gives him grief about his social life "when's the last time you had relations with a woman?", missing VP, his feelings for her "instead of telling her how you feel, you give her a plant,"
-then outright says he's losing his mind. Like everything Cho does is right. The last woman *he* had "relations" with was a hooker! Okay, Cho rant over:).

check-loved Jane's delight over her embarrassment! can just see him going back and forth, gleefully reliving that moment!
check-their haggling over what he'd do for her if she did for him. The this for this, that for that, was funny!

Also, "no coffee from Starbucks, the expensive stuff from maries." There's something more expensive than Starbucks?
she's his personal good luck charm? aww:) Last few lines, with him putting the purple steg on her desk, "Holler if you feel faint, need someone to catch you." So typical Jane:), then "I'll always be there to catch you." bigger awww. the drawer full of worms ha! ha! that's right, dump them on his head!
