Penelope was the first one of the girls to meet the new arrival. She thought he was the most adorable thing she had ever seen in her life.

Waking up was never fun for Penelope Garcia, even less so when she was getting up at 6 am on a Saturday. When that happened there was a lot of mumbling and threatening hand movements toward her alarm clock. She liked being the first one awake, to make coffee for Gideon and Rossi, and to make sure that the others didn't sleep all day. It could be said that it was her thing, that and computers.

To say that she was shocked when she entered the kitchen would have been putting it mildly. Messing with what she considered her coffeemaker was a little boy who looked extremely out of his element, his back was to her and he was looking at the machine like it was a convicted murderer. "You do realize that it isn't going to eat you, right?" She felt bad as soon as she asked the question, because at her words the little kid jumped and spilled half of the coffee beans he had been holding. Moving forward to help him she got a good look at his face, and he looked terrified.

"You do realize that it isn't going to eat you right?" Spencer almost fell over. He thought he was alone in the kitchen, which was the only reason he was attempting something as possibly disastrous as making coffee. Looking apologetic the owner of the voice moved forward to help him clean up the coffee beans he had spilled everywhere when she had spoken. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, it was just that you looked like the coffee maker was trying to kill you, and since you are new I just wanted to let you know that it wasn't going to go all sci-fi on you and take over your brain."

She offered a huge smile and passed him the beans she had collected while she was speaking. " I'm Penelope Garcia, you can call me Penelope, or Garcia, or Pen, or Goddess, or Sweetness, or Kitten, or if you are feeling really brave you can call me oracle of all things known and unknown."

She paused for a second, seeming to consider something " You are new right? I mean people don't usually break into places to fail at making their coffee."

Spencer stared at her, slightly in awe, he had never heard someone say so much in such a short period of time, especially not someone so bright. Bright was the first word that came to Spencer's mind in relation to Penelope Garcia, she was blonde and she was wearing a lot of bold bright colors that should of clashed when presented together, but instead they created a pleasant affect.

"Um, I don't think that the coffee maker is going to eat me. Yes I am new, and I am not sure if people break into places to 'fail at making coffee' as you say" Spencer felt awkward, and he knew he wasn't his most coherent. If anything though Penelope's smile got larger.

" Aww you are adorable, like a puppy, or some other small furry creature that you want to feed sugary yum-yums." Now Spencer was feeling a little ridiculous, he had woken up with the intention of proving to everyone that he wasn't pathetic and that he could do anything that they could, and he couldn't even make coffee correctly. Then Penelope called him a puppy and said he was going to feed him, he felt like crying. He wanted to go home.

JJ entered the kitchen to see Penelope trying to keep a little kid from crying " JJ help, I don't know what to do. We were talking and he started crying, and he is new, and I made him cry, and just met him, and now he is going to hate me and I don't even know his name" JJ almost started laughing.

She went over to the little kid, who she couldn't help but notice seemed uncomfortable, he was holding what looked like a bag of coffee beans and crying silently. JJ didn't know what to do so she started talking " I'm JJ, I just got here a few months ago, and I know it can seem overwhelming, but it is really a great place. There are some great people here, you met Penelope right? She is awesome, she can find anything online, and she is really funny. And Emily is funny too. She is pretty smart, and she always knows what to do,"

The kid had stopped crying, so she took that as a sign to continue. "What's your name?" She asked gently, Penelope was looking at her like she had just saved an orphanage from burning to the ground. "Spencer Reid" He said it so quietly that she could hardly hear him, and she was right next to him. " That's a cool name, where are you from Spencer?" She led him over to the table, and Penelope started the coffee "Las Vegas." Again JJ fought the desire to laugh, she couldn't imagine anyone who seemed less likely to have grown up in Vegas.

Penelope started making three cups of coffee "Vegas, I've never met anyone from Vegas, why are you here?" The kid was silent and JJ mentally kicked herself, they were all here for reasons they didn't really want to discuss with strangers. As she opened her mouth to retract the question Spencer surprised her. "I'm here because someone wants to kill me." Penelope dropped one of the cups. JJ felt something flip in her stomach, she was saved from coming up with a reasonable response to Spencer's statement when Elle entered the kitchen.

"Is that coffee?"
