I had a lot of fun with this chapter. No spanking in this chapter it's coming in chapter four. Happy Reading!


Reid watched the very interesting goth lab genius with intrigue as she went on with passion filling her voice as she told him about her job. He loved to listen to her, most people thought he went on and on about things that seemed strange or not understandable Abby seemed to do the same thing.

"Hey Boy Wonder!" Morgan hollered as he walked into the lab holding a few files. Reid sighed in annoyance as he turned his bar stool style chair around to fully see him as he came to a stop in front of Reid. Abby gave a slight smile at the nickname as she was busy working on starting the mass spec. She stepped away for a couple seconds and took a seat next to Reid. "Can you speed read through these real quick and see if there is anything new?" he asked as he leaned on the counter "you just want me to so you can go to the scene don't you" Reid asked knowingly taking the files. Morgan was much more of go out and do kind of person Reid could to but was also pretty happy just dealing with the files and reading Morgan gave a smile "you know me so well pretty boy" he said with his usual joking tone.

Reid shook his head and gave a wave goodbye over his shoulder as he started to quickly read through the pages. Once he left the room Abby looked at Reid with a raised eyebrow "he has some interesting nicknames for you" she commented as she went back to her mass spec her black pigtails weaving wildly around her when she moved her head around quickly as she moved with a familiar flow. "Uh yea pretty much have had them since I can remember and I have an eidetic memory so I actually can " he said as he closed the second file Abby's blue eyes widened at the pace he was going "are you actually reading those or skimming?" She asked speculatively "reading" he responded as he closed the fourth and last file. He gave her a nervous smile fingers drumming on the files for a lack of further conversation.

"I can read 20,000 words a minute" he explained meekly light brown hair falling into chocolate brown eyes his defense when he was uncomfortable her eyes even managed to get even bigger "wow that is awesome" she said genuinely impressed as Jimmy stormed into the room. "Tim again?" Abby asked taking the bag from him, Jimmy nodded mutely as he quickly left the room. Abby gave a soft chuckle "is he alright?" Reid asking in puzzlement "ya him and a uh another close co worker are having a bit of rivalry as of late" she said "hmm I can understand that Morgan and I are kind of going through a pranking war right now so a form of rivalry ourselves" he fiddled with the files.

Abby looked over intrigued "prank war huh Tony and Ziva went through one without me I know I don't know him but can I maybe help with your next prank" she had wanted to join in when Ziva and Tony did but Gibbs had put a stop to it before she could offer. Reid thought it over for a second Hotch hadn't told them they had to stop so he couldn't see what it could hurt to involve Abby "sure why not it could be fun to have a partner" he said as he to got excited about the idea of Abby helping him with the prank.

"I have to get these running through mass here then do my other forensic articles then we can do it" Abby said excitedly her job came first she loved her job so she would finish or get these started and work on a new prank idea afterwards with her rapidly becoming new friend. When they had crashed into each other in the hall Reid had rapidly told her who he was and what they were doing so she had invited him to the lab after looking at his badge on his pants. They had been talking for awhile and one thing she knew she had in common with the other genius for sure was they were extremely close to their teams even though they hadn't used any specific terms.

They talked about their last prank war during a case and Abby had found it funny as long as the pranks were non violent Hotch normally would over look a few to elevate the stressful situation they could be in when working this job. Abby finished starting everything and passed off information to other teams that needed it and listened to Reid.

"So what did you have in mind?" Reid asked the hyper goth "well it may be a bit out of the box but I want to use a non reactive chemical it's completely safe I swear just sticky really" Abby said Reid bit his lip a bit weary about the term chemical but also didn't seem to have the heart to tell her no so he just nodded for a lack of words. "I was thinking kind of classic with a little twist I have this decoration of a skeleton that once the solution falls on his head could give him a little scare by popping out of a coffin" she said getting a little too into it.

"No too far? To lame?" she asked uncertainly as she bit her lip looking at Reid "no I mean you said the solution was safe right?" he asked he didn't know why but he already had this strange pull to make her happy. She nodded her head and gave a large smile "let's set up" she said excitedly at her first work prank.

It took a while to set up because they needed to rig the coffin and make it pop out at the right moment she showed Reid the gel stuff and placed a little in his hand to show it was safe. Satisfied Reid and Abby set it up talking about their families\teams. Once they were finished setting up and only one person stopping by but showing no interest thankfully, to the duo. Reid texted Morgan to come up getting a quick response of ok be up soon. Reid and Abby hid behind the desk in anticipation when they heard a disgruntled "what the hell" to Reid's horror Abby looked at him confused then she got surprised when he bolted up "stop" he shouted quickly looking at the far from pleased Italian. It wasn't fast enough though before the skeleton jumped out at the non surprised older man who refrained from breaking the thing slinking in his face after the rather hard skull of the skeleton had smacked him in the head. "Ok maybe that had been a little lame" he said down to Abby who blushed slightly as well as her partner in crime who also rubbed the back of his head. "Snake or spider next time" she mumbled to herself "if there is a next time" he said back down to her having heard her but saying it low so Rossi wouldn't hear them.

"Spencer would you care to explain what is exactly on my head" he said calmly even though irritation dripped at the back of his mind. "Also why is it hardening" he asked Abby looked at the label "oh no don't worry it just does that it's kind of like glue but once it hardens it just crackles off" Abby said a tad embarrassed that she hadn't seen that little detail. "Abby!" Spencer nearly whined since she hadn't known that "sorry" she said as she put the jar down on her counter.

"Abs are you making…." Gibbs stopped mid word upon seeing Rossi and sighed looking at his girl she gave a shy smile and nearly toppled when Hotch was close behind and ran into him and looked at Rossi with shock and confusion until he looked over and saw his youngest standing with an equally miserable looking young woman.

"The showers are in this direction" Gibbs said as he gave one last look at his "daughter" and lead Rossi to the showers hoping whatever Abby and Reid had dropped on him didn't ruin something of his this team was one of the few that didn't get on his nerves he would from what he has seen so far actually want to work with them again.

Hotch looked at Reid "if you wouldn't mind I'm going to burrow Reid for a little talk" he said as he walked out of the room. Abby's eyes widened in shock the tone and wording Hotch used was the same way her boss/dad spoke to her or her siblings when they were in for a "little talk" wondering if her speculation was correct but not going to actually ask Reid as she waited for Gibbs to come back she cleaned up the prank mess.


I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm already starting on chapter four. I guessed those two would get on real easy and quick. R&R please.
