A/N: Hey so this is my first fanfic, so reviews or any sort of help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I do not own CM, or the characters, or anything you recognize.

I hope you like it!


"1 week, 1 mountain, all alone," is what JJ thought as soon as Hotch announced they were all getting a week off after a particularly horrifying case. They were all devastated but JJ was determined to try to put it aside and have the time of her life at Liberty Mountain Resort . She had been wanting to go for a while now-her snowboard continued to sit in the basement of her house, unused and untouched.

"No BAU, no Henry, and no Will," JJ thought a little guiltily. She loved her son, but things with Will hadn't been going as smoothly as she would have hoped. Will was moving back to New Orleans and they had decided that they're relationship wouldn't last over such a long distance-it was already crumbling.

"Not much, I was just wondering if you had plans for the week?" Reid asked.

"Actually," JJ sighed, "I do have plans for the next couple of days." She felt a little upset. She has also hoped to spend some time with Reid, she just wasn't sure how to ask.

"Well that's fine," Spencer said, a little shyer than before. "See you when you come back."

"Bye," JJ said as her eyes started getting moist. There wasn't too much she could do about it. She couldn't really invite him along for her snowboard trip, no one knew about that. And she was sure that Reid wouldn't have a lot of fun just sitting in the hotel room. Not that they would room together. Although she could think of some things to do in a hotel room together.

JJ shook her head. She locked her house door, with Henry and Will visiting some relatives in New Orleans for the week.

"I'm sorry Henry and I can't be with you while your off doll," Will had said over the phone. "But we've already got the plane tickets..."

"Don't worry about it," JJ said, silently cheering. "I've got stuff to do anyways."

Will didn't even really approve of her love of the mountain. He thought it was a foolish activity. JJ had decided to keep the topic to a minimum and so she didn't feel the least bit guilty about lying to Will about it. Especially now since the two weren't together...

She shook the thought from her head.

The drive took about 3 hours, and when she got there, it was late in the afternoon. She figured she would have a quick dinner and then hit the slopes and get in a good couple hours of boarding before bed. Her room was as nice as it could get without getting a suite. There was a huge, comfy, king sized bed, a sofa and a breakfast table with 2 chairs. JJ looked a little sadly at the two chairs. She would only be using one, although if she felt good enough, she could go out to one of the many clubs in the area, to forget her troubles. She had packed several clubbing outfits, but she didn't think she would be using them.

By the time she got on the hill it was already 8 at night and the sun had gone down. The lights shone on the hill brightly, and she felt a bubble of delight in her chest that she hadn't felt since she found out she was pregnant.

As she got in line for the chair lift, she noticed a boarder behind her looking at her with intense eyes. He was tall and seemed to be a little skinny. He also had gorgeous blue eyes that she could see under his goggles. Unfortunately, that was all she could see of him, because of the helmet and face mask he was wearing. She had goggles on herself, although they were reflective so he couldn't actually see her staring at him. As she got on the lift, she smiled to herself thinking that maybe this weekend wouldn't be so lonely after all.

Once she was at the hill, and her bindings were done up, she looked to her left and saw the man from the lift standing, his board already attached to his boots, looking at her. As JJ stood, he gave her a wave, letting her know she could go down the hill first. She smiled, and was off, enjoying the feeling of the wind on her bare cheeks.

All of a sudden, she noticed something in the corner of her eye and glanced over. Before she could react, he lost control and swerved in front of her, cutting her off, so that she had to struggle to gain control again. As she slowed down and watched the man go down the hill she realized that he was good. No, better than good. He was amazing. Which meant he hadn't cut her off by mistake, it had been intentional.

JJ started to get pissed. Who did he think he was? She would show him who was the better boarder.

By the time she got down the hill, he was already on the lift and she pushed her way through the line to get a chair not too far behind him. As she got to the top of the hill she saw that he was waiting for her. This time though, she waved him ahead of her, challenging him. He took the bait and started down the hill. Right away, she followed him and started to circle around him. They headed down the hill together, playing with each others skills and laughing out loud when one of them fumbled with the rhythm.

JJ felt truly happy as the run ended too quickly.

"You're pretty good!" JJ exclaimed. "How long have you been snowboarding for?"

"A couple of years," he said in a muffled voice, after what seemed to be a moment of shock, although he overcame it quickly. "I actually started because I found out a woman I work with loves to board."

"That's really sweet," JJ said, a little disappointed at the discovery of a possible love interest. "How are things going with her?" she asked, hoping guiltily that it wouldn't be going too well.

"She's a little stressed out right now and I don't think she knows that I'm there for her, but I am."

Tell me about it, JJ thought. "Well, I'm sure she's lucky to have you nearby." JJ paused, lost in the thought of taking a risk. Finally she spoke, "Do you want to grab a drink?"

"I would, but I though you had plans tonight," Reid said, taking off his helmet.
