He strolled down to her office in need of some desperate help and he knew that only Penelope Garcia would be able to supply the right advice. He knocked and waited for her heavenly voice to float.

'Come in.'

He did as he was told and entered shutting the door behind.' Hey baby girl.'

'Hey handsome, what can I do for your fine arse today?' She said turning around and smiling at his presence in her lair.

He chuckled, nerves bubbling. 'I need some advice.' He grabbed a chair and sat next to her.

'Work or personal?'

'Personal?'

Oh great she was going to hear about another fling obviously. She kept her jealousy at bay at the thoughts swizzing around her head. 'Come on then... Hit me with it.'

'There's this girl.'

Knew it! Penelope thought, she was going to need to have serious talks with herself when she got home.

'I've know her for years and I've liked her for maybe possibly just as long. I've never tried anything with her, just been her friend and stuff like that but now I want to prove how much I love her. She's everything I need.'

'And you need me for?' She asked with a raised eyebrow.

'To help me out... how do I prove to her I'm in love with her.'

'Honestly?' She asked him, seeing he was seriously in a deep dilemma. He nodded; this proves the seriousness of it all.

'Take her in your arms... tell her you love her and then kiss her with every ounce of emotion you have for her.' She looked at him. 'You put all that emotion into it, all that fiery passion and you be truthful with your heart not one of your heads.' She teased. 'But you don't need my help, you can have any girl a drooling mess at the click of your fingers... you seem to forget my dates don't go too well.'

'That's a lie P.'

'It's not... I refuse to date... there is no man out there other than the men of the B.A.U that I trust. So what's the point? But Derek, take my advice, if your positive about it go for it... you deserve a happily ever after.' He nodded. 'She's a lucky girl... I hope she realises.'

'I hope she believes me.'

'I'm sure she will.'

He stood, taking one of Penelope's hands pulling her up into his arms, looked her dead in the eyes. 'Penelope Garcia I'm in love with you.' He then bent down and kissed her whole heartedly, pouring every ounce of 6 years built up emotion into that one kiss.

When they pulled away she looked at him with a pleasant surprise on her face. 'Derek?'

'You're the woman I've loved since I can remember, and I wanted to woo you how you wanted to be wooed. I'm not looking for a one night stand P; I want to give this a go. A proper go.'

'Oh.'

'Oh?'

'Reality check... I'm in love with you too... and I'm the luckiest girl alive.'

'Well I'm the luckiest man alive then.'

Derek decided there and then that asking for advice was not always a bad idea especially when it had the desired effects.

He asked, he was told, he used and he proved his cause.
