"I have a non-case related question to ask all of you while we're here together," Penelope Garcia addressed the other people on her FBI Behavioral Analysis team before they left the round conference room.
"What is it, baby girl?" Morgan asked, concern washing over his features.
"It's nothing to be alarmed about. It's just that a friend of mine and I have tickets to a cello concert for Friday night and I had to cancel." She paused to look at the faces around her before continuing. "She was wondering if I would ask if any of you would like to accompany her. She says she'd be elated to have any one of you go but there's only one ticket. I know that a classical music concert is not the most popular or fun thing to do but it would mean a lot to her."
Silence followed.
She had expected that. She didn't think Hotchner, Morgan, Rossi, or J.J. would be interested. Penelope really didn't think anyone would be able to accept the offer and maybe even try to make sure to avoid it but Reid spoke up.
"I might be interested in going with your friend."
Penelope beamed, "Great! I'll send the details to you and if you want, I can tell you'll meet here at the concert hall."
"Alright. I'll be waiting." And with that the team left to get on the jet and go to their next case.
The phone was dialing.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Lizzie."
"Hey, Penelope." Elizabeth yawned.
"Did you just wake up?"
"No. I just got off from work. What's up?"
"Just now getting off? I didn't know you were working the graveyard shift. Anyway I have a taker for the concert this weekend."
"That's great," more yawning. "Who is it, Penny?"
"Dr. Spencer Reid."
"Penelope, are you trying to set me up? You know what I told you. I am just now comfortable with my most recent separation-"
"I know. I know. I asked everyone and he's the one who wants to go. I didn't press him or tell him some pitty story."
"What does he know?"
"The time, location, subject and your name. May I remind you that is as much as you know as well."
"I'm aware." Elizabeth chuckled softly.
"He'll meet you at the concert hall at 6."
"Okay. Thanks Penny."
"You're welcome, my dear. Talk to you later." Garcia said cheerfully.
"Bye-bye, Penny." Elizabeth said groggily.
