1) Arrival

"This is it." Athena said around ten at night as she walked into a huge house. "Aunty's house."

"House?" Ned said. "This is a mansion."

"And coming from you-" Nancy said as she took off her shoes and put them on the mat. The other two followed in suit. What Nancy had ment was that the house in which the Nickersons lived in was big enough that every person had a their own guest room and their own bathroom. Not that her house wasn't big, it was decent sized. But out of the three of them, Athena had the smallest house. She had a tiny flat that had a living room, dinnigroom, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Her washer and Dryer where in her bathroom. She didn't need much else.

"I know this is big but-" Athena started.

"Athena!" A voice called. A woman who looked in her mid to late forties came out. "These must be your friends Nancy and Ned." She gave them each a kiss on the forehead.

"Sorry about Aunt Sara," Athena said. "She's old Italian."

"Oh never mind that." Sara said. "Now My friend owns this magnificent Italian place down the road." She smiled. "And I must just take you there. Come on." She Waved them out. Quickly the four of them put their shoes on and left the house.

Reid had a confused look on his face as he left the Jet with the others.

"Hey Reid," Morgan said going up to him. "Don't beat yourself up about this." He shrugged and went to the car. They went back to Qantico and started to work on case files. Around ten, Morgan decided enough was enough. He asked the rest of the team to come to dinner with him at an Italian resteruant a little bit from town. the rest of the team agreed to go. He walked over to Reid.

"Hey," He said. "Wanna get a bite to eat."

"No thanks." Reid said.

"You can call her in the morning." Morgan said.

"I don't have her number, I mean I have her house number but not like her cell or anything."

"You know she's with Nancy." Morgan said Shrugging. "Call her and find out."

"I don't know-"

"Just come to dinner with the team" Morgan said taking the file from Reid's hand. Eventually Reid caved and decided to go.

Nancy, Ned and Athena sat with Aunt Sara at a small square table. Aunt Sara was going on and on about some old story. Nancy and Ned looked at each other. Athena looked at them both. She mouthed the word sorry. Nancy just smiled at her and Ned nodded. The food was devine so it made up for the long over baring stories Aunt Sara had decided to tell that night. Soon a bunch of people who Nancy and Ned could reconize, passed by but they we're so engrossed with the food that they didn't see who was walking by until Aunt Sara stopped two of them.

"Excuse me young man..." She said.

The team walked over to the longest table in the place. It was circlulair. Reid and Morgan were the last to enter the building. Almost everyone was seated by the time they made their up the stairs. Reid kept his eyes fixated on the ground. As they walked by a table with a chatty older lady, She tapped Spencer's arm.

"Excuse me young man," She said as he looked over at the woman talking to him. "What do you think of my Niece? She's single." Reid looked over and his glumness went away.

"Aunt Sara!" Athena groaned looking down. Nancy looked up which made Ned look up. She gave a little wave.

"No. Theeni. Look behind you." She whispered. Athena shook her head. "Look behind you Athena!" The dictation that Nancy's tone held made Athena look up. A smile broke out on her face.

"Hi Spencer." Athena said. He looked down at her. A smile broke out on his face.

"Hi Athena." He said. She couldn't help herself. She got up and Hugged him. He hugged back.

"Well. This is the Reid I know." Morgan said.

"It's nice to see Athena smile." Ned said. Nancy smiled and nodded.

"Those two know each other?" Aunt Sara asked.

"We worked with them on a case." Nancy said. A twisted smile came onto her face. "That we Just finished two days ago." Athena pulled herself off Reid. She grabbed a napkin and pen and jotted something down.

"Uh- This is the number to my aunts house and her address. Come and see me sometime." She handed it to him with a shrug and a smile.

"Thanks." He said taking it with a smile of his own. "I will." He turned around to walk away and Athena sat back down. Morgan put a hand to Reid's back. They joined the group. The rest of the team all looked at Reid, each one with a smile of their own. He looked at all of them. "What?" He asked looking at all of them.

"Nothing." JJ said.

"She looks familiar." Rossi said.

"She's Athena from River Heights." Reid said looking down at the menu. He wasn't really concitrating on it but concintrating on trying to get the reddness going to his cheeks to stop. He silently wondered if this was what Athena was going through too. She propbaly wasn't.

"How long have you two-" Emily asked.

"Ever since the beach." Morgan said raising his eybrows.

"Could we order now?' Reid asked.

"If you want-" Hotchner said looking at him from the corners of his eyes. Reid looked at all of them.

"What?!" He asked.

"Nothing." Emily said shaking her head. Reid rolled his eyes as a waitress came up to the table. He figured that this dinner was going to take forever. he looked up and realized that he and Athena had a perfect view of each other. She smiled at him and he smiled back. He was happy that the team was paying more attention to ordering food than to him. Athena made a bored signal and Reid started randomly laughing out loud. Everyone looked over at him.

"Sorry." He said then he ordered his food. He looked over and noticed Athena had ducked just in time. He laughed again, more to himself this time. Morgan looked at him.

"You alright kid?" He asked. "You're a little-"

"No. I'm fine." He looked over at Athena subtlely. "Really, really fine." The waitress came over with their food after a few minutes. Ten minutes after their food came, he noticed Athena getting up. He excused himself from the group, saying . Morgan noticed this move right away.

"....And I swear that if i hadn't......" Aunt Sara's voice droned on. Nancy and Ned kept looking at each other. Nancy then found that Athena wasn't paying attention to her food. Ned noticed this too. Aunt Sara was oblivious to all this. Ned and Nancy followed Athena's eyes to see what she was looking at. They smiled as they saw who she was looking at.

"Wow." Nancy whispered.

"So sweet." Ned said. "Like us." He kissed her forehead.

"Looks like high school all over again." She giggled.

"Waitor! oh Waiter! Check!" Aunt Sara called. The waiter came over and handed it to her. She wrote a check for the check and they got up. As the reached the exit to collect their coats, Reid walked over.

"Your leaving?" He asked.

"Yeah." Athena said. She put on her coat. "It's really nice seeing you again Spencer." She hugged him one more time. He hugged back again.

"Athena!" Aunt Sara called. "Athena! Come here! We're leaving!" Athena got off Reid.

"Gotta go." She said and she kissed him. He took it as a shock but kissed back. "Bye. Talk to you soon?" She looked at him.

"Yeah." He said as he touched the piece of paper with her number and address of where she was staying. "I'll call you."

"Bye Spence." She said as she walked out the door and he headed back to the table.
