Disclaimer: I do not own The Mentalist or any of its characters. Nope, not even after all of these stories...

A/N: Okay, well the DJ's on the radio station I listen to are definitely an interesting bunch. The morning show guys certainly make the drive to school a lot more enjoyable, especially when I can see the Mentalist crew having similar conversations! This is going to be a multi-chapter fic full of one-shots based off of the random and funny stuff I hear off of the radio. I will give the conversation that inspired me, followed by the story I came up with. I have no idea when I will post more, as it all depends on what I hear...also school and work permitting of course...

From the Radio...
"How about we hug it out?"
"No."
"Hug?"
"No."
"What if we hug through our friend Jamie? I'll hug him, then he'll hug you..."
"No, I'm not the hugging type...But you can still hug Jamie if you'd like to..."

Chapter 1- Hug it Out

Today certainly was eventful, Jane reflected as he drove back to the CBI in his powder blue Citröen. The team had managed to solve the case, but not after a certain amount of prodding to get the Domino effect started. And he, of course, was the perfect person to get the ball rolling. But what Jane considered a good idea and what Lisbon considered a good idea were two completely different concepts. He was hoping that Lisbon wouldn't be too furious with him, since he did solve the case after all, but based on the amount of extra paperwork and stress he had caused her, Jane could already visualize the impending-doom-of-Lisbon awaiting him back at the CBI.

…And waiting for him it was. Lisbon had been standing impatiently for Jane by his couch. As soon as Jane stepped out of the elevator and on to the Serious Crimes Unit floor, Lisbon told him sternly:

"Jane. My office. NOW."

"Hold on Lisbon. Can't we discuss this first?" Jane asked.

"What's there to discuss? You pissed off a witness, who threatened your job and your life. Then, you nearly got that same witness killed. AND you left me in the middle of nowhere while you took the car in order to nearly lead that witness to his death!" Lisbon stated, folding her arms across her chest. "Need I continue?"

"But we did solve the case." Jane pointed out.

"Don't even start Jane." Lisbon said, cutting him off before he could continue.

"Okay, but you need to calm down first. This much stress is not good."

"Says the culprit of the stress."

"Let's hug it out."

Lisbon just stared at him.

"No."

Jane spread his arms out.

"Hug?"

"NO."

"What if I hug you through Cho? I'll hug him, then he'll hug you…"Jane suggested.

"No."

"Van Pelt?"

"No."

"Rigsby?"

Lisbon looked at Rigsby who, like the rest of the team, had been watching the Jisbon spectacle. However, unlike Cho and Van Pelt, Rigsby had a napkin tucked into his collar-as a bib-while he ate tacos from the taco van from under the bridge near the sewage ditch.

"No, I'm not going to hug you." Lisbon replied. "But you can still hug Rigsby if you'd like."

Jane frowned. He had no intention of going anywhere near Rigsby's sewer-tacos if he had the option. So, Jane just turned and slowly followed Lisbon to her office-of-certain-death. Hey, it had been worth a shot…
