Author's Note: Zabe here! Here is the story of Gatsby and Spencer through Gatsby's eyes! I'm sort of following the series and I'm sort of not. It's mostly going to revolve around Reid but the team is TOTALLY in it. Anyway, for those of you who aren't familiar with my OC, Gatsby Algèrnon, let me give u a little background: Gatsby is related to Morgan. She's two years younger than Reid, a psychological profiler (meaning her speciality is psychology, also linguistics and mental crimes), and she LOVES Japanese Anime, (mostly Hello Kitty and Sailor Moon), Butterflies, music. She has a son named, David and a dark secret. But don't they all? ;)

Here's how you pronounce her last name: The e is accented, making the "g" sound like an "h", so it's Al-HER-non not Al-GER-non. Her father was Cuban. So, I may put her background story on my profile. Anyway, ENJOY!

The Great Gatsby Algèrnon

Intro: September

Of all the things I still remember

Summer's never looked the same

The years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now on how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

July 2013

Virginia Beach never looked so calm and peaceful. Maybe it was this particular day or the breeze in the wind, who knows? All Dr. Spencer Reid knew was that he would never forget Virginia Beach. Of course he can't forget anything but this place held a special place in his heart. After all, this was the place where he first met the woman he would soon marry.

"Hope you're not having second thoughts, Reid."

Surprised by the voice, Spencer turned around to find his former mentor standing behind him.

"I thought you weren't going to make it."

Jason Gideon smiled. "I wouldn't miss this for anything. How are you feeling?"

"Honestly," Spencer sighed. "A little nervous but I've never been more sure and ready about anything before in my life."

"I had a feeling that would be your answer. Actually, I had a feeling that you two would get together sooner or later."

"Really? When?"

Gideon didn't answer the question; he simply smiled and patted Reid's shoulder. However, he knew almost right away that Reid's life was about to change the moment Supervisory Special Agent Dr. Gatsby Cecilia Algérnon came into his life.

June 2002…

Dr. Spencer Reid figured he should take some downtime after a hectic first few months of his new job. He just started working at the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit for two months, 3 weeks, 25 days and already he was feeling the pressure. He looked at the word puzzle he was working on, still baffled by one of the words.

"What's a 12-letter word for 'cynical'?" He asked out loud.

"Misanthropic." A voice answered.

Spencer turned to see a young woman sitting not far from him, reading a book. She looked like was in her late teens, early 20's. She had caramel-skin, almond brown eyes and medium, auburn-red hair. Her dress was rather unique. She was wearing black rhinestone capris, pink/black Happy Bunny T-Shirt, a Blue Pinstripe Vest and black pumps. Spencer looked at this girl in a shocking, weird way.

"I'm sorry?" He said.

"You wanted a 12-letter word," The girl replied. "I gave you one."

"Oh, thanks." Spencer thanked. "Um…how-how did you know that?"

The girl shrugged. "I'm very good at words. I also have a BA in English so…I know a little something, something."

Spencer blinked. "BA? Forgive me for asking but how old are you?"

"I turned 19 in February." The girl replied. "I'm about to graduate from Columbia Grad School soon. I'm just here in Virginia to see my family."

"Wow, you must be a genius." Spencer awed.

"Yeah, well. I'm glad I could help with your puzzle." The girl grabbed her bags and started to leave. "I better be going, I gotta meet my uncle."

Spencer didn't want this girl to leave. He wanted her to stay, get to know her, know her name. Spencer Reid had literally 235 questions forming in his head. But nothing was coming out of his mouth.

"Wait…. I-I didn't get your name."

The girl looked at Spencer for a moment, as if she were thinking about the answer.

"Gatsby." She said. "My name is Gatsby."
