Kimball Cho wanted to laugh. He didn't though—it wouldn't be like him. He had just seen the Boss and Jane walking hand in hand into the movie theater. Almost right behind them, he saw Rigsby and Van Pelt walk into the movie theater, too. It was almost too much to believe.
He had been heading to the movies as well. His girlfriend had wanted to see the newest chick flick and who was he to say no? If he had learned one thing from Jane, it was that a woman really wanted "love and attention." And that's what he tried to give to her.
He was curious to see what movie they were going to see. He had a hunch it was the same one he was going to see. He watched all four of them get popcorn and sodas. Jane and Lisbon got M&M's, too.
"Hey, honey," Cho said to his girlfriend, a beautiful woman, a little on the shorter side, but still very pretty. "I think we should get some M&M's. They go really good in the popcorn."
"That sounds like a good idea. What made you think of it?"
"I just saw my boss getting some." He said it in his normal deadpan.
"Your boss is here? I'd like to meet her." She started looking around, as if she would know who she was looking for.
"I think she's here on a date with someone else from work. I don't really want to disturb her. I should, though. If she is on a date, I'm out $100."
"How would you loss $100?" They were walking towards the theater and Cho saw Van Pelt and Rigsby going in.
"I bet one of my coworkers that the Boss and another one of our coworkers weren't in a relationship. I'm pretty sure that I've lost. I just saw them going into the movie theater and I saw the guy I bet going in with the woman he's been in love with since the first day he saw her."
"I'm not sure that makes sense. Can you say that one more time?" She looked confused. Cho had never said his girlfriend was the brightest bulb in the box.
"My boss is dating the consultant and my friend is dating the love of his life." Cho said. To the casual observer it would look like he was mad, but he was just Cho being Cho.
They went into the theater and picked seats near the back. From their vantage, Cho could observe all of the people in the theater. He looked and found Van Pelt and Rigsby (sitting on the side towards the back, but not as far back as Cho) and Lisbon and Jane (as close to the middle as they could get.) It seemed the perfect spots for them.
After the movie started, his girlfriend was glued to the screen and he was free to look around. He looked over at Van Pelt and Rigsby, sitting on the side of the theater. It was obvious that Rigsby was not enjoying the movie, but he was enjoying the person he was watching it with. They were sitting next to each other, trying not to sit too close, but every so often they would slide just a little closer together.
Cho laughed. By the end of the movie, they would probably be sitting in each other's laps. He was glad that his laugh came at the same time as everyone else in the theater. He wouldn't want to tip off his girlfriend that he wasn't paying attention.
Lisbon and Jane were a little harder to figure out. They had started the movie sitting close to each other, closer than friends, but not as close as some of the other couples in the theater. As Cho watched them, he saw Jane put his arm around Lisbon's shoulder and saw Lisbon lean her head on his shoulder. They looked like they really belonged together.
He knew then that he wouldn't mind giving Rigsby the $100 on Monday. It would be worth it to see the Boss happy and the knowledge that Rigsby had finally managed to not screw up with Van Pelt was nice, too.
