Spencer warily eyed the bubbly technical analyst who was wandering the bullpen purposefully, going from desk to desk, office to office, with a large brown paper sack in her arms. She was dressed in orange and black from head to toe, with dangling pumpkin shaped earrings swinging from both earlobes. The problem with the whole situation was that he didn't know why he felt so cautious of her.

"Hiya Spencer!" she exclaimed, finally approaching his desk.

"Uh, hey Garcia," he muttered, trying to make himself look busy.

"Aren't you curious about what I'm doing?" she asked, nudging her elbow into the gangly genius' ribs, and as expected, he jumped and dropped the file he was picking up.

"Er... well, I guess so, but... I'm a little b-busy right now so..." he stuttered, spinning his chair a little, in case she decided to take another strike at his ribs.

"It'll only take a sec Reid!" she sighed. "You can take a little break from your work. Just a really little one, please!" she persisted, spinning his chair back.

"She's not going to let you get away with saying you're too busy, Spence," JJ laughed, walking back to her office with a fresh cup of coffee. "It's not going to hurt you to listen to her,"

"Are you sure, JJ?" Spencer asked, switching his attention to the blonde media liaison.

"Positive," JJ smiled, walking back up the stairs, and to her office.

Spencer sighed, resigning, and glanced back at Garcia. "Okay... what can I do for you Garcia?" he asked.

"Well, I'm glad you asked Dr. Reid," she smiled. "I have a little Halloween present for ya!"

"Oh, okay. Well, thanks." he forced a small smile, still not sure what to expect as Garcia pulled a smaller, orange paper bag decorated with small black bats and jack-o-lanterns, out of the large brown sack.

"Here you are," she told him, handing him the smaller bag. He took it, and pulled on the black and orange ribbons holding the bag closed. Looking inside he muttered "Um... what is it?"

With a gasp Penelope snatched the gift back, and pulled the chocolate covered treat out. "This, my young genius, is a savory chocolate and caramel covered pretzel!"

"Chocolate and caramel covered pretzel?" he asked, glancing at the candy as if it was going to reach out and bite him any second.

"Yes! I made it myself," she explained, holding it out farther, so he could grab it. "Come on! Try it!"

"Are you sure it's... safe?" he asked, leaning back in his seat, trying to stay as far away from the chocolate covered concoction that was dangling inches from his nose.

"Positive, even Jayje said it won't kill you, please! Please try it!" she pleaded. Spencer's gut was telling him that she wasn't going to give up any time soon, so he leaned forward a little, grabbed the treat, and took a small, cautious bite.

"So?" she asked, watching as if she were a child on Christmas morning, inching down the stairs giddy with anticipation.

"It's... not bad," he sighed, placing the remainder on his desk. "Thanks Garcia,"

"You betcha Reid!" she smiled, walking away, content with the result.
