Meeting You Ch. 1
AN: I don't own Criminal Minds or its characters. I am just using them for my selfish purposes. The characters that I own are Bianca (will be used later on in Consequences) and Jen. This is the Prequel to my story Consequences of One Night. I decided to make Aaron and Emily only three years apart for both stories. In this story, Emily is 21 and Aaron is 24. Later on this will include episodes from Criminal Minds seasons 2-7.
Emily had just return from her mentoring session, with Tina, when she noticed that Bianca was sulking on the couch in the living room of the Kappa Alpha Theta house.
"What's up, B?" Emily asked as she stopped to check up on her little sister.
"Matt and I broke up again. I think we are truly done this time," Bianca said as she looked up at Emily.
"I'm sorry about that but didn't I tell you that it was coming," Emily said as she headed for her room.
"Yes you did but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt," Bianca said as she followed Emily to their room.
"I know. I'm sorry. I'm just a little crabby from dealing with Tina's parents again today," Emily said as she put her bag down on her bed.
"What happened this time?" Bianca said as she laid down on her bed.
"The same stuff as always; berating her about her grades, talking bad about the friends that she brings home, saying racist stuff about them," Emily said as her phone rang. "Hello."
"Is this Emily Prentiss?" the caller asked.
"Yes, who is this?" Emily asked as she put the phone on speaker.
"This is Sam Kassmeyer from your Developmental Psychopathology class," the caller stated. "I was wondering if you wanted to meet up and form a study group for the class."
"Sure, where did you want to meet up?" Emily said as she looked at Bianca.
"How about we meet up at Toad's?" Sam asked.
"Sure. Who else will be joining us?" Emily asked as she winked at Bianca.
"My friend Aaron, who is also in the class," Sam said as a door shut behind him.
"I'll bring my friend Bianca with me. She's not in the class but she hasn't been to Toad's just yet," Emily said as Bianca tried to protest. "We'll meet you guys there for 8."
"That'll work for us," Sam said before hanging up the phone.
"Looks like we have plans for tonight," Emily said to Bianca. "And a way for you to get your mind off Matt, as well."
"Why do you want me to go with you?" Bianca asked Emily as she started going through her closet.
"Because you've never been to Toad's and I don't want to go alone," Emily said as she grabbed her favorite mini skirt and a tank top. "Besides these two guys are pretty good looking."
Ten Minutes after eight o'clock
"Ok, Em, where the hell are these guys?" Bianca asked as they walked around the club for a second time.
"They'll be here, especially if Sam wants to set up a study group," Emily said as she spotted Sam at the bar. "Sam's at the bar now."
"Which guy is he?" Bianca asked as they headed towards the bar.
"The medium height guy with sandy brown hair currently talking to the bartender," Emily said. "Add one apple martini and a pina colada to his tab please."
"Emily Prentiss, I presume," Sam said as he turned to face the girls.
"Yep and this is my friend Bianca Steffy," Emily said as the bartender handed them their drinks.
"My friend Aaron is currently holding a table for us near the back," Sam said as he grabbed the beers and began leading the girls to the table. "Aaron Hotchner, this is Emily Prentiss and Bianca Steffy."
"Miss Prentiss, Miss Steffy, it's nice to meet you," Aaron said as he shook each girl's hand. "Sam said that you might be someone who could help us with studying for our developmental psychopathology class, Miss Prentiss; I hope he is right."
"How did you even get my number, Mr. Kassmeyer?" Emily asked as she slid into the booth next to Aaron.
"The professor recommended you when she heard us talking about studying for this class," Sam said as he slid in next to Bianca. "So we decided to set this up."
"Well I'm willing to try working with you guys but it will have to be on my terms and around my schedule," Emily said as she sipped her apple martini. "I do have a job that I am at three times a week, my other linguistics classes, and the sorority things."
"Are you up to giving us a schedule tonight?" Aaron asked as he looked at her. "By the way, what year are you?"
"This is my junior year here at Yale," Emily said as she looked at Aaron. "Anyone have some paper? I'll give you a rough schedule since the sorority is still trying to figure out our events for this semester."
"I'll go see if I can get a piece of paper from the bar," Sam said as he stood from the booth.
"I'll come with you," Bianca said as Emily raised her eyebrows at her.
Emily and Aaron sat at the table for five minutes before Emily decided to go looking for her little sister.
"I'm going to go look for them," Emily said as she stood up.
"What trouble could they get into?" Aaron asked as he also stood from the booth.
"Bianca is an ambassadors daughter just like me so she knows how to slip away from people," Emily said as they walked towards the bar. "Not to mention she and her boyfriend just broke up."
"That's where I've heard about you," Aaron said as he looked out onto the dance floor.
"Where?" Emily asked as they finally reached the bar.
"My mother has been in attendance to a few of your mother's fundraisers over the years," Aaron said as he spotted Sam and Bianca out on the dance floor. "There they are. Let's leave them alone and start on a study schedule."
"Ok," Emily said as she also spotted Matt watching Bianca dance with Sam. "Got any paper?"
"Sure. Here you go," the bartender said before heading back to mix more drinks.
"Did you two read chapter 1-3 from last week yet?" Emily asked as they sat back in the booth.
"I did, Sam just asked for my notes; like usual," Aaron said as he watched her write down her schedule. "So what's your major?"
"I'm here for linguistics, mostly for my mother but it does interest me a little bit," Emily said as she continued with her schedule. "I want to work for the FBI someday though; preferably the Behavioral Analysis Unit. So what about you?"
"FBI really?" Aaron asked with a small laugh. "I'm studying law, hoping to become a lawyer; like my father."
"Aaron? What are you doing here?" said a girl as she walked over to the table.
"Haley Brooks, this is Emily Prentiss," Aaron said as he introduced the girls. "She is helping me and Sam study for our developmental psychopathology class."
"It was nice to meet you. Aaron, I've left my schedule and when we can meet up to go over certain things," Emily said before finishing off her martini. "Make sure that Sam gets a copy and try and make him do his own reading for a change."
"When is our first get together?" Sam said as he and Bianca joined the group back at the table.
"Monday," Emily said as she slid out of the booth. "I'll see you both Monday night at 7 p.m. in the library. Bianca, I'll see you when you get back to the house. Oh and Sam, start taking your own notes on the readings."
"Shit, you told her about that?" Sam asked as he looked over at Aaron.
"Yes he did," Emily said with a smile. "Night, everyone."
AN2: Please review! Remember this is how I chose to begin Aaron and Emily's story. This will eventually lead all the way up to the start of Consequences of One Night.
