The night wound down. They had danced, eaten and drank. It hand been a good evening, even if Strauss had been in their midst. She did seem human. Aaron was enthralled with Emily. He wasn't letting her out of his sight more than he had to. Dave seemed to have a mischievous gleam in his eye, and it had the whole team curious as to what he had up his sleeve. The bartender called 'last call'. Derek and Reid went to get another round of drinks. Hotch took Emily's hand and led her to the terrace, leaving the party.

"Emily." He breathed. His breath caught in his throat. She was radiant and he loved her but didn't know how to say it.

"Yes, Aaron?"

"May I be blunt with you please?" He basically begged.

She nodded. "Always."

"Emily, I love you. I have since you walked into my office to tell me you were on our team. I can't go on like this, living a lie, denying my love for you." He finally could breathe.

Her hand brushed his cheek. "Aaron, I've always known you loved me. I love you too. I have, for a lot longer than that day I joined the team 4 years ago. I've loved you since we met when you were working security for my mother." She lifted her face to look at him. The moonlight caught her beauty in a way that Aaron couldn't describe. He leaned down and kissed her. She returned the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck.

They broke apart when they heard applause and cheers. They turned to face their friends, and Strauss, cheering. Emily blushed, as did Hotch. Rossi walked up to Emily and handed her her bag and shawl.

"Time to go kids." He said slyly.

Emily laughed. "Got plans Rossi?"

He said. "Wouldn't you like to know?" He then winked at Aaron, and went to take Strauss's hand. She stopped at Emily and Aaron.

"I know that you two belong with each other. I can see that. And I will permit you to see each other providing it doesn't affect your job." She said with all authority. Then Rossi and her continued to the waiting cab. The cab pulled away, and the team just gapped at each other.

"Was that really Strauss?" Derek asked, as the other approached Aaron and Emily.

"I think so." Emily said, shaking her head. "What the hell just happened?"

"I think, my gumdrop, that we've just been transported to an alternate reality." Pen laughed. "Are we sure we're not in the Twilight Zone?"

"I'm pretty sure we would notice if we were in an alternate reality as…" Spencer started, but JJ hushed him.

Morgan laughed. "Yes, Boy Genius. Though it's getting late, and I have a whole evening planned for me and my little mama." He kissed Penelope. Together they hailed a cab and fled into the night.

A/N: Sorry this one is short, but I decided each personal sequence would be a separate chapter… R & R please! Dedicated to my FF family and my special man… Love you all!
