Rossi led the team through his mansion and into 'their' rooms. After a lot of nagging and not so subtle hints about the BAU team needing a break he'd decided they could spend the week at his home. Of course this was under the condition of them not breaking anything , touching anything valuable and that they were to thank him at least once a day everyday. However, he'd replaced the last one due to Garcia pulling him into a massive hug, effectively preventing him from breathing, and kissing his cheek all the while saying 'thank you'. It still made him nervous around the blonde. The last condition was now that they were required to keep everything clean at all times.

After his friends had been given the grand tour and had put their stuff in their respective rooms he escorted them outside, stopping mid-step as to not interrupt his daughter's and best friends' conversation. The team had been warned that these two were also staying and that he would accept no flirting under penalty of death. He held no hope for that one though.

"You need to start dating again. I need someone to double date with." The tall red-head told the brunette in an exasperated tone, waving her hands around in front of her.

"You need to chill out." The brunette, Rossi's daughter, smirked. "Ok, ok, look, when I find someone who holds my attention and I dunno, like, makes me laugh and smile and keeps me interested then I'll date again. Of course that's also down to whether he wants to date me and all that stuff." Taking a sip of her Dr Pepper she leaned back in her chair.

"It's been two years since you've been in a relationship and ever since then you go out on dates and find something wrong with all of them. You have serious commitment issues." Seeing that her best friend was about to intervene, she quickly continued; "that guy you went to dinner with two weeks ago? What happened to him? Seriously, El, your last relationship was two years ago and he broke up with you because you didn't want to commit properly. You have commitment issues." The woman rolled her eyes at the offense on Ellie's face, it was almost laughable.

"I do not have commitment issues Ash." After a moments consideration she added; "you know, maybe my dad's ways just rubbed off on me, I mean come on, who has three failed marriages? You'd think he'd of learned from the first two. Although I swear Lizzy only divorced him cos she hated me. Can't imagine why." Ashley laughed at the mock seriousness on the twenty-five year old's face. She'd met Ellie when she was ten, Ellie was nine at the time. Ashley had been sitting on the grass in the park making daisy chains when the younger girl came up to her, sat next to her and studied her with curiosity. She'd then asked Ashley if she could teach her how to make them, they've been best friends ever since. "And that date from two weeks ago was disastrous – he started lecturing me on how important it is to eat vegetables and that I should start eating 'healthily' or I'll be at risk of getting heart disease or something. If I'm gonna date a guy he could at least have the decency to not try to change me. He should like me for me." She smiled and batted her eyelashes at the older woman who laughed, almost choking on her lemonade.

Rossi had never liked the idea of his daughter dating as he couldn't help but think of her as his little girl. Sometimes, he forgot how old she was but he was glad with how close they were. His Ellie still lived with him – she took care of his place while he was away – and she'd always relied on him. He still made her hot chocolate and ate junk food with her when she was upset, he still held her when she cried and they still had 'daddy-daughter time' as she so called it. He was apparently too protective of her but seeing what he saw on a daily basis he couldn't help it, he still had the urge to try to protect her from the horrors of the world, from the hurt and heartbreak, of course he knew he couldn't do that. She was his pride and joy, she was what got him through some of the darkest times of his life and he spent everyday thankful for her.

"What about that guy you were talking about the other day. The one from that class you take?" Ashley's voice brought Dave back into reality and before he could manage to make himself feel guilty, he loudly cleared his throat and strode onto the deck, smiling at the woman and kissing his daughter on the cheek.

He cleared his throat once more before he spoke. "Ladies this is my team. My team this is ladies."

"Well, thanks Uncle Dave." Ashley laughed at the glare she received from the older man. "This here, is his daughter, Ellie and I'm her best friend Ashley. It's a pleasure to meet you all." The team proceeded to make their introductions before joking about Rossi and his old age as well as a game of twenty questions courtesy of Garcia.

"You." Everyone looked over at Reid as he stared intently at the older man's daughter, a smile playing on his lips. "Of all people, you. You're just as stubborn as your dad, yah know." The woman smirked as the others' glanced between the two of them and back again.

"We really oughtta stop meeting like this, people will start to talk." She replied, all the while smiling at the twenty-six year old.

"You don't really care what people think." He stated.

Before he could continue he was interrupted by said woman. "And why d'yah think it's me that's stubborn. Are you sure it's not you cos, I mean, you are stubborn – and opinionated."Crossing her arms, she nodded her head resolutely, not breaking eye contact with the young genius.

"Me? Me, stubborn and opinionated?" He asked, in actual shock. "You're infuriatingly stubborn and opinionated and you find any little thing to argue with me about. Are you actually this annoying or do you reserve it all for me?"

"It's not just you. And it's you arguing with me is it not? Although in all fairness you do raise some good points sometimes, others aren't so good but you can't win 'em all." She laughed at his wide-eyed expression, bowing her head slightly as her hair fell gently around her face despite the ponytail.

"You know, you shouldn't argue with a genius." He told her in mock seriousness. "I've never known someone as annoying as you. Or anyone that argues with me about actual topics. Or even anyone who understands half of what I'm saying. I never thought I'd say this but I do not enjoy it."

"Well lucky you cos you've got me. Anyway, I'm Doctor, Spencer R-Reid, I'm Spencer, you don't have to call me Doctor – I'm gettin' some coffee." She winked as she walked past him and back into the house.

"Hey." He huffed, pouting like a child, crossing his arms over his chest. Sighing, he turned to see the team, plus Ashley, staring at him in amusement. Slowly but surely, he could feel himself regretting the fact that he'd admitted to knowing her.
