Opposites Attract ~ Rosa Diaz x Reader

4 - Thanksgiving

We were all at our desks when Charles walked out of the lift. "Happy Turkey day" he says happily. "Yes! Right out of the gate" Jake cheers. 

"What's going on?" Charles asked. "We're playing Boyle Bingo" Rosa said. "Thanksgiving edition" I added. "Everyone filled out their cards with possible Charles-related scenarios. First to bingo gets 100 bucks" Amy explained to Charles.

"I had 'Boyle calls it Turkey Day' right in the centre square" Jake said. Charles took Terry's paper and started reading it. "Boyle explains that they ate lobsters on the first Thanksgiving?" He reads. "They actually did. Back in that time they called lobsters 'Ocean Bugs'. And I'll just mark that off for you."

"I think got the winning card here. Boyle tells us that he played Pocahontas in his third grade play" Jake said. "All the girls were too big" Charles said. "I think I have the loosing card because this is my first Thanksgiving at the 99" I said. "He says the same things every year, you didn't miss out on anything" Rosa said. 

"Ooo this is a fun one. It says 'Boyle says Gobble Gobble'" Gina reads out and laughs. "Well, now that I know you want me to say that, I'll just say it with two gobbles. Gobble, gobble... Gobble. God, it just sounds right that way. Ugh. I don't like this game" he complains. 

"Ha! Boyle objects to Boyle Bingo!" Rosa said, crossing something off her list.  "Come on guys" Charles said. "Boyle says 'come on guys' that's two for Terry" Terry smiled.

"Well, guess what. I can spoil your little game by sitting over here quietly all day and doing nothing" Boyle says proudly sitting on his seat then falling to the ground. 

"Anyone have 'Boyle falls to the floor?" Jake asked looking around, "no? No one?" "That's a victory!" He says standing up, "That's a victory for Boyle! Boom!"

"Boyle says 'Boom'" we all say.

Jake walks into the bullpen saying "Check it out, chair jockeys. While you were busy tickling the ivories on your computers, I was doing a bust. Cocaine! Thanks, Lucius" He said handing a bag of cocaine to someone, " He ran, I pursued. Whole thing turned into an awesome car chase."

"Well, at least you're done early, so you have time to go home and change for my Thanksgiving dinner" Amy said, looking at his clothes. "Ugh. Why do we have to dress up for Thanksgiving. I don't even celebrate that stuff. The whole holiday is based on overeating. We should be wearing velvet track suits and diapers" Jake said. 

"Jacket and tie. Rosa's even wearing her formal leather coat" Amy said. "It's the one without any blood on it" Rosa replied. "You're gonna dress up, and you're gonna give a toast about what you're thankful for. Start preparing" Amy said turning back to her desk. 

" I prefer not to prepare for my toasts. I just wing 'em like scat jazz" he said and started scatting. "Oh are we singing?" Scully asks. "No, no, no, no" Jake said, but Scully started singing. "I'm not dressing up for your party" he whispered to Amy and walks away.

I'm sitting with Gina and Rosa at her desk and I look over to the kitchen and see Terry holding Hitchcock upside-down, shaking him. 

Amy then walks out of Holts office and does a victory dance. "Why so excited?" Rosa asks, looking over at her. "Did you make the cover of 'Hair Pulled Back' Magazine?" Gina asked. 

"The captain is coming to my party. I'm gonna give a toast, tell him how thankful I am to have him in the precinct, and officially ask him to be my mentor" Amy said excitedly. "Wait, are you only hosting dinner because you wanna suck up to Holt? Not cool. This was supposed to be about friendship" Gina said shaking her head.
