Ok, here we are, Part deux! I'm trying out a new writing style, this is going to be MAINLY emails, instant messenger conversations, letters, etc (with some dialogue here and there). It's basically to show the relationships between mainly Dani and Reid, but also Prentiss, Morgan, etc, etc! This is just an introduction, I'm not sure how well you guys will like this type of writing, so PLEASE PLEASE review to let me know if I should keep going with it!
P.S. The time between letters/convos will not be known. It could be an hour, a day, a week, etc.
-Again, PLEASE review to let me know how you're liking it!

Subject: French Fries!

Dear Spencer,

So to answer your question, yes. French Fries DID originate in France. I had to do some research (geez, the things I don't do for you!), but found out some French army guy was taken prisoner during the Seven Years War and was fed potatoes while imprisoned in Hamburg, Germany. He found he loved the potato and brought it back to the French court when he was released from prison and introduced the lovely veggie to our famous King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette.

Though, I must tell you. Here we do not call them "French Fries". They're known as pomme frites (fried potatoes). They were wildly popular in Paris in the 1840s and spread to America, being called French Fried Potatoes. Then you guys shortened it (what, were you too lazy?) to French Fries.

And there you have it.

French Fry.

Dear Dani,

Thanks for the lovely pictures of Nice! I really miss being over there, I don't think I've been to that side of Europe for at least seven years! It was gorgeous though, I must say.

How is your family doing? You mentioned Sophie is in her last year of high school, is she worried about exams? Does she know what she wants to go to college for? I can't believe how much you two look alike! You can definitely tell you are sisters (and gorgeous ones at that!). Don't send Morgan pictures or else he'll be fantasizing about the two of you for weeks! Just kidding, I don't think he would go that far…

I've heard you and Reid have been keeping in contact like crazy. Derek bugs him all the time at work when he catches poor Reid reading your emails. He gets all flustered and has to go back to work before even thinking of logging back into his email to write you back, but I know Derek only bugs because he cares. I think he sees Reid almost like a younger brother, if he had to jump in front of a train for him I know he would.

Anyways, I should get back to work I see JJ coming our way and she doesn't look too happy. Looks like another case…

Prends soin!

Emily Prentiss

You've received an instant message from DANI

DANI: What are YOU doing up so late?!

SPENCER REID: Late? It's only 10pm… I think the real question is, what are you doing up so early??

DANI: It's 7am… Not too early…

SPENCER REID: Early for you. Don't forget I have an eidetic memory. I remember you saying how you like to sleep in.

DANI: …So? Maybe I couldn't sleep.

SPENCER REID: How come?

DANI: Just couldn't.

SPENCER REID: Well there has to be a reason, Ms. 'I Don't Wake Up Before 11'.

DANI: Oh come on… 11 isn't THAT late…

SPENCER REID: Sure it is. I'm always up before 8, even on days off.

DANI: Yeah, well that's you. It probably doesn't help that you consume 50 gallons of coffee a day.

SPENCER REID: Ha…Ha…

DANI: Oh, I know. I'm a regular comédien at the break of dawn. I should start charging.

SPENCER REID: Seriously, why are you awake?

DANI: Eh, it's a long story, I won't bore you with it. It's your bed time soon.

SPENCER REID: It's only 10! I don't "have" to go to bed for at least a couple hours. I'm a big boy, I can go to bed whenever I want. Plus, I'm not at work, so it's not like Morgan is here spying on me…

DANI: lol. I heard about that. Derek, he's quite the sneaky guy. See, another reason for you to learn French. Then I can write you my letters in French and Derek would have no clue.

SPENCER REID: Hey hey, you're changing the subject.

DANI: huh?

SPENCER REID: Back to the topic at hand…

DANI: huh?

SPENCER REID: You were about to tell me about your sleeping troubles.

DANI: huh?

SPENCER REID: Why you can't sleep…

DANI: huh?

SPENCER REID: ENOUGH WITH THE HUHs!!!!

DANI: …. What?

SPENCER REID: AHHHH….

DANI: lol

DANI: If I told you, you would think I'm crazy.

SPENCER REID: No I wouldn't. Try me.

DANI: It was a nightmare.

SPENCER REID: A nightmare?

DANI: See? I knew I shouldn't have told you…

SPENCER REID: No, no! I'm not making fun of you… I have nightmares too… In fact, I had a big problem with them not too long ago…

DANI: Really?

SPENCER REID: Uh huh.

DANI: Stop it with the uh huhs… What were yours about?

SPENCER REID: Just a case we had

DANI: …And?

SPENCER REID: It was bad.

DANI: Ok, you don't have to tell me about it now. But just so you know, I'm a great listener. You should know that by now. Shame on you for not knowing that!

SPENCER REID: It's not that I didn't know that, it's just hard to talk about. I haven't really talked about it with a lot of people. It's something I kinda had to deal with myself… What was yours about? It helps to talk about it.

DANI: Well you should take your own advice, monsieur. And it was nothing. Just a stupid dream about Seattle.

SPENCER REID: The… Case? When you were here?

DANI: Maybe. But that was like 4 months ago. It's stupid. Anyways, I have to get going, I just heard my Aunt rustling around in the kitchen. How is it that the older you get, the earlier you wake up? I hope that doesn't happen to me. Anyways, nice talking to you Spence, email me that nightmare story sometime. "It helps to talk about it", a wise man once told me.

SPENCER REID: We'll see. Same goes for you, I may not be a great listener, but I try… Have a good night.

SPENCER REID: Er… Morning…

SPENCER REID: Have a good day.

DANI: lol. Go get some sleep.

Dani has logged off.

Subject: Text msg?

Dear Spencer,

So my phone was dead all night and when I turned it on this morning I got the weirdest text message. It was from Derek, he said 'Tell our Lover Boy he's busted.' Do you know what he meant? It was sent probably around 9pm your time, when we were chatting online. I would have told you then, but I didn't realize until a couple hours ago.

Thanks again for talking to me. These stupid nightmares wake me up so early sometimes, and it's nice to have someone awake at 5am to talk to! I kind of like this whole time difference, but it's kind of weird, non? I mean right now it's lunch time and you're probably in the deepest sleep because it's like 3am where you are. It's so funny to think about!

Write me back when you get a chance. I think Derek has gone crazy. Unless you're up to no good over there…
