Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds, I wish I did on a daily basis but sadly that's not the case. Anyway not making any profit off this story, just having fun with the awesomely awesome characters.

Summary: After a case the team head to a local bar for a night of drinking and laughter but Aaron's in for a shock when he finds out just who Penelope has invited to join them.

Please R&R

Enjoy!

…

"Aaron," Dave called from across the bullpen, the team had just gotten back from a case and they were the only ones there, "you up for a drink? We're going to head to Donoghue's. "

Aaron looked down at the file in his hand "I have to finish the paperwork for the case but I wouldn't mind getting a drink after that."

Dave nodded "You want me to wait for you?"

"It's okay, you guys go, you can order me a beer and I'll meet you there" Aaron said.

"Alright," Dave said heading towards the elevators with the rest of the team "see you there."

…

It took Aaron about twenty minutes to finish and file the paperwork. He grabbed his jacket and was out of the office in no time once he was done.

The bar was only a ten minute walk from the BAU so he left his car in his parking space. He would need to come back and get it after leaving the bar since he needed to pick up Jack in the morning, so he would limit himself to one drink that night.

When he got to the bar he scanned the room for his teammates. They were sitting near the dance floor and Dave waved him over as soon as he saw Aaron enter.

Walking up to the table Aaron frowned when he noticed someone was missing.

"Where's Garcia?" he asked as he sat down, he nodded his thanks to Dave when the older man passed him his beer. He took a sip before looking up at them "I thought she was coming?"

Almost identical devious looks crossed Emily's and JJ's features. "She did, but she had someone meeting her here."

Aaron looked around at the rest of the team and noticed Spencer looked sheepish, a light blush colored his cheeks. Derek was grinning ear to ear with a gleam in his eyes. However Dave's look concerned him the most. Dave was good at masking his emotions but at that moment he looked worried.

"Someone?" Aaron asked "Who?"

Emily grinned and pointed to the dance floor.

Aaron turned to look and his eyes widened; he couldn't believe he hadn't noticed them before.

No wonder Spencer was blushing.

Penelope was dancing rather promiscuously in the arms of a muscular young man.

Aaron's fists clenched involuntarily.

The man was tall with messy blonde hair and he was built, his frame was similar to Derek's but wider.

All of his attention was focused on Penelope. His hands roamed her body, pulling her firmly to him, leaving not even an inch of space between them.

Aaron didn't even think you could call what they were doing dancing, it looked more like they were having sex…right there in the middle of the dance floor.

"Who is that?" he asked stiffly.

"That," Emily said with a chuckle as she eyed the man with a sexy smirk "is Penelope's boyfriend."

She sobered instantly though when Aaron shot her an annoyed look. That was obvious to him. Penelope wasn't the type of woman to dance like that with someone she just met.

He wasn't looking for and obvious answer.

Dave cleared his throat trying to break the tension that now penetrated the table.

"His name is Eric Turner," Dave explained "Penelope told us that she met him at the gym she goes to. He's a trainer there. She said they've been dating for a little over a month."

Aaron turned back to the dance floor. Turner was grinning down at Penelope, looking like the cat that ate the canary and it sickened Aaron.

He understood well enough, he'd probably look the same way if he was the one dancing with Penelope but he wasn't and he couldn't take watching them.

He looked down at the table and his drink. He picked the beer up and swallowed a mouthful down. He placed the beer down acting as normal as possible, he knew the rest of his team were watching him with interest.

He pinched the bridge of his nose; he was no longer in the mood to socialize. "Thanks for the beer," he said to Dave "but I think I'm going to head home."

"But you just got here…" Spencer began but Aaron was already standing up.

"I have Jack tomorrow and I just remembered that I promised to take him and his friend bowling. It's going to be a long day, so I'd like to get to sleep early."

"Oh," Reid said "well, have a goodnight."

Aaron forced himself to smile "Thanks. Have a good weekend everyone."

There was a chorus of "you too" and "goodnight" as Aaron stepped away from the table.

He looked towards the dance floor once more and realized that the song had finished and Penelope was making her way towards them, Turner following right behind her.

He quickened his step.

As he reached the door he thought he heard his name being called but he just kept going.

A/N: To all the Hotch/Garcia fans out there please take a look at my Heartland/Criminal Minds Crossover because they will eventually be a pairing and I'd love some feedback!

If you don't know, Heartland is a Canadian tv series that takes place on a horse farm in rural Alberta. You don't have to be a crazy Heartland fan to understand it; I just thought it would be a great setting for a fic. I mean who doesn't love horses? …okay so I know one person but I think the majority of people do.
