I still don't own Criminal minds, CBS does.

"I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums Oh what a shame that you came here with someone….So while you're here in my arms….Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young."

JJ, Emily, and Penelope danced around Emily's kitchen.

"God Emily your singing has gotten worse."

Emily Prentiss smacked JJ in the arm and said, "Sorry if some of us don't sound like angels."

Penelope giggled and said, "You two quit it."

JJ sighed and said, "So what are we going to do tonight?"

Emily smiled and said, "I thought we could stay in. My mom is off in some European country, and I have the place to myself for like 3 weeks."

Penelope whistled and said, "Damn. You are lucky."

JJ said, "Tell me about it. My parents are always breathing down my neck. It's always JJ do this, JJ don't do that. They almost didn't let me out of the house tonight."

Emily rolled her eyes and said, "Guys I know it may seem great, but it gets kinda lonely."

Penelope said, "Awww Em. You have us, and if you want, I am sure I can talk my parents into letting me stay for a while. What about you JJ?"

JJ replied, "I will see what I can do."

Emily jumped off her kitchen counter and said, "You think we should call the boys?"

Penelope said, "Nu-uh. We told them we wanted a girl's night."

JJ laughed and said, "Tell them we lied. I'm bored."

Emily put her hands up and said, "Alright I will call them in a minute, but first what about a quick cheers to womanhood and all that stuff."

Penelope leaned against the marble island and asked, "What are we drinking this time?"

Emily held up a bottle and said, "I was thinking maybe a little Yaeger."

JJ said, "Em that bottle is huge. I guess we do need to call the boys."

All three girls laughed.

Emily grabbed glasses and filled each with Red Bull and Yaeger.

Jj smiled and said, "Down the hatch."

Emily finished half her glass in a gulp, and Penelope drained most of hers. JJ took a sip and grimaced.

Penelope laughed and said, "JJ don't be a baby about it."

"Grrr. Fine." JJ took a huge sip and coughed. "You happy now?"

Penelope nodded and said, "Very. Okay so where is Ashley?"

Emily said, "She should be here any minute."

JJ laughed and said, "Tell her Spence will be here, and I bet we see her in a minute."

Penelope said, "Em call the boys please."

Emily said, "My, my someone wants to see their baby boy."

Penelope punched Emily's arm and replied, "Shut up. We aren't like that."

Jj laughed and said, "Not like that my ass."

Penelope said, "Well anyway, you just want to see Aaron."

Emily looked pointedly at Penelope and said, "So what if I do?"

Penelope just shrugged. Emily scrolled through her iPhone. Before she could click send, there was a knock at her door.

Emily said, "I wonder who that is?"

Emily, JJ and Penelope were standing in front of the door. Emily looked through the peephole and smiled.

Emily opened the door and gave her boyfriend a kiss.

"Hey Em, you gonna let us in, or are we going to stand out here all night."

Penelope replied, "Derek get your cute butt in here."

Derek smiled and said, "Yes ma'am. So what are we drinkin on tonight?"

JJ smiled and said, "Yaeger."

Penelope laced her arm with Derek's and said, "Come on hot stuff I'll get you a glass."

Aaron looked at Emily and asked, "Do you want to tell me why they aren't together?"

Spencer replied, "He's stubborn, and she is in denial."

"Guys get out of the door and let me in."

JJ said, "Hey Ash. Did the boys pick you up?"

Ashley Seaver smiled and said, "Yep."

Emily asked, "Did you have to sneak out?"

Ashley giggled and said, "Yep."

Derek and Penelope came out of the kitchen.

Aaron asked, "Hey man what happened to the glass?"

Derek laughed and said, "Don't need it. I got the bottle right here. Hey where's Rossi?"

JJ frowned and said, "You haven't seen him?"

Spencer said, "Last time I saw him, he was talking to Erin."

JJ gawked and said, "Erin Strauss?"

Spencer replied, "Yeah, her."

JJ muttered, "Bitch."

Derek laughed and asked, "What was that?"

JJ mumbled, "Shut up Derek."

Aaron draped his arm around Emily and asked, "So what are we doing tonight?"

Emily said, "Not much. You know we all have to work tomorrow."

Everyone groaned.

Penelope snapped her fingers and said, "I know. Why don't we watch a movie?"

Spencer said, "No girl movies."

Ashley poked Spencer in the arm and said, "Sweetie we are girls, we watch what we want, but if you ask nicely…."

Emily said, "I have a copy of the Hangover."

Derek wrapped his arms around Penelope and said, "Sounds good to me."

Emily said, "Why don't we raid my kitchen, and the bar, and get to it."

Aaron kissed Emily's cheek and said, "Cool."

After 20 minutes, two burned fingers, thanks to Penelope's inability to microwave Hotpockets, and a sorted through liquor cabinet, they were all downstairs in Emily's small theatre.

Emily and Aaron were cuddled up on a love seat, Derek was sitting on the floor with Penelope between his legs, her back to his front.

Seaver was sitting near Spencer. Ashley rolled her eyes, "God how dense can a genius be, and JJ was busy texting Rossi.

JJ said, "Rossi will be here in a couple of minutes. I told him to come around back."

Derek said, "Cool. Now start the movie."

The group passed around snacks, and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

By the end of the move, JJ had her head on Rossi's shoulder, Penelope and Derek were too busy trying to pretend they didn't like each other. Ashley was doing everything in her power to get Spencer to notice her, and Aaron was too busy making out with Emily to notice the movie was over.

Rossi threw a handful of popcorn at Aaron and said, "Hey. Breathe."

Emily blushed and Aaron laughed.

Penelope yawned and said, "I think I am buzzed." She tried to stand up, but she wobbled. Derek grabbed her waist and said, "Hey woman, you okay?"

Penelope yawned again, and said "I'm good."

Aaron said, "Guys this is the last night of our freedom, I saw we drink til we can't see straight."

Rossi said, "I'm okay with that."

The group went outside, sat around and drank.

Ashley was the first to pass out. Aaron and Emily carried her in the house, and put her in a guest bedroom. Spencer wasn't that far behind.

Penelope had to stop Derek from putting Spencer's hand in a glass of warm water.

"Come on baby girl it would be funny."

Penelope rolled her eyes and said, "Derek that's mean. Be nice to our boy wonder."

Derek and Rossi helped move Spencer to a couch inside.

JJ and Rossi decided to watch TV until they fell asleep. The only people left outside were Aaron, Emily, Derek, and Penelope.

Aaron faked yawned and said, "Boy I am tired."

Derek chuckled and said, "Whatever man. You two go on upstairs."

Penelope laughed as Aaron dragged Emily up the stairs.

Penelope walked over to the pool and sat down with her feet in the water. Derek sat next to her and smiled.

"So mama when are we gonna make this official?"

"Derek what are you talking about?"

Derek smiled and said, "Me and you hard head."

Penelope sighed and said, "Derek I don't think that is a good idea. I mean you are a jock, and I'm the nerdy girl who works at the Apple store."

"Baby girl do you know how long I have liked you?"

Penelope sighed and said, "Not a clue."

Derek wrapped his arms around Penelope and said, "Kindergarten."

Penelope laughed, "Seriously Derek?"

Derek tapped Penelope's nose and said, "As a heart attack. I remember when I pushed you down in the sandbox."

Penelope laughed and said, "Then I called you a poop head."

Derek kissed Penelope's lips and said, "That is when I knew I was in love."

Penelope woke up first. She tried to sit up, but noticed she couldn't move. She laughed and realized she was trapped under Derek.

Penelope shook Derek and said, "Hey baby boy wake up."

When that didn't work Penelope ended up yelling at Derek to get up.

Derek groaned with his head under the pillow and said, "I don't wanna."

"D we are going to be late for work."

Derek rolled over and sat up. "Shit I am never drinking again."

Penelope laughed and said, "Isn't that what you said last week?"

Penelope and Derek headed downstairs in search of cereal. They were joined by Ashley and Spencer.

Ashley asked, "Do I look as bad as I feel?"

Spencer smiled and said, "You look fine. It's me that has huge bags under my eyes. It looks like I haven't slept in a week."

Derek chuckled and said, "Can we just agree we all look like hell. Well accept for my pretty mama."

Penelope rolled her eyes and said, "Derek I may love you, but I glanced in the mirror and I scared myself."

JJ and Rossi came in the kitchen. Everyone started pulling out bowls, and pouring cereal in silence.

JJ grabbed her head, rubbed her temples and said, "Who knew cereal could be so damn loud."

Derek chuckled and said, "Jayje we all know what a light weight you are, why'd you drink so much?"

JJ sipped her orange juice and said, "Because the idea of having to work at the mall with Strauss as my boss is killing me."

Derek looked at David and asked, "Hey man what the hell happened to you and Erin. I mean before you graduated you were up each other's asses."

Rossi laughed and said, "She got scary. I mean Erin has been intense since we have known her but now, it's fucking crazy."

Penelope asked, "Well what are you going to do? I mean you guys are going back to the same college in the fall."

David rolled his eyes placed his arm around JJ and said, "I am going to avoid her like the plague. I got the girl I want."

JJ smiled and said, "Well don't worry next year we will be at the same school."

Aaron came running down the stairs. "Shit sorry we slept late. Jason is going to kick my ass. I told him I would open the store."

Spencer said, "Hey don't worry about it. Gideon partied too hard last night too. He sent me a text."

Derek said, "I bet he did. He is officially joining the academy in a few months. He said something about wanting to join the F.B.I."

JJ looked towards the stairs that led to the kitchen and asked, "Hey where's sleeping beauty?"

Emily groaned walking into the massive kitchen saying, "Fuck sleeping beauty, I look like death warmed over twice."

The boys wisely kept their mouths shut while the girls laughed.

After quietly chomping on cereal and chugging glasses of juice the entire crew had to get ready for the first day of their summer jobs.

Derek and Penelope were ready first followed by Hotch and Emily, since they had to be gone first.

Emily dressed in her trendy outfit for her first day at H & M, Aaron was dressed appropriately in khakis and a plain t-shirt ready for his first day at REI which is a popular camping store.

Derek was dressed in trendy jeans with manufactures holes and a tight t-shirt. It was perfect for his job and Hollister.

Aaron rolled his eyes at Derek's outfit and said, "Come on Morgan how pretty do you feel right now."

Derek rolled his eyes back and said, "Dude if they put me in the window I get paid 12 dollars an hour, so shut up."

Penelope chuckled. Her hair was flowing around her face in soft ringlets and she had electric blue streaks in her hair to match the electric blue of her apple shirt and black jeans.

Derek slung his arm over her shoulder and said, "Okay people we need to dip. Thanks Emily for giving us a ride. I did not want to take my ratchet ass truck to the mall."

Penelope smiled up at Derek and said, "Baby you need a new car."

Derek said, "Trust me I know. That shit is old, but it was my dad's so I'll never sell it."

Emily looked at her phone and said, "Seriously guys we gotta go. I will leave a note for everyone else."

Emily dug out the spare key, and left a note.

Emily knew that this could be the last summer before real life began, and if she had it her way she would never let go of her friends.

As always read and review please! See I asked nicely.
