Derek didn't sleep at all the night before. He thought he had heard the sounds of Penelope coming in more than once. More than anything he just wanted her back safely. Now he was boarding the jet he lifted up his bag and climbed the five steps that led to the entrance of the jet. More than anything he just wanted their friendship to go back to normal. He got to the doorway as he peeked inside. He saw a woman who he felt that he knew in another world. She had brown hair with purple and red streaks. He thought it looked awful. Her pink cat ear headband glittered in the light of the jet. Rossi obviously picked up on Derek's discomfort with the situation. He looked at him apologetically. Derek looked over at Hotch and glared. If looks were actions, he'd have had Hotch pinned against the walls of the jet easily. Hotch picked up his left hand and made a questioning motion, as if to ask what had happened, or what was wrong. Derek took his seat and pulled out his headphones. He picked up his phone and quickly caught Hotch up on the situation. Some texts were exchanged between the two that had some not so nice content about the co-worker, Penelope Garcia.
What Hotch and Morgan had forgotten is that they were on a jet with hacker extraordinaire. She easily tapped into the jet's database and got the messages. She quickly caught up on the texts that were exchanged. Why had Derek done this. She was so hurt. All she wanted to do was go be with him. Go back to being in his arms, why did that seem so impossible right now? She decided that she would handle this like a mature adult. She knew that if she tried to approach Derek the wrong way about it, he'd act like a 5 year od. Not that he didn't on a regular basis anyways. She stood up as the jet hit a Jetstream and quickly fell back into her original position. After they had made it a few minuets, she stood back up and straightened her skirt, walked over to the table were her Chocolate Thunder was sitting and sat down next to him. He had his head up against the window with his headphones on. She looked at him for a few moments before her eyes got heavy and she was leaning her head on his shoulder, matching her breaths to his. They quickly fell asleep.
Derek awoke before she did and he was a little confused, because the last time he checked they were still fighting and he didn't want to make her any more mad than she needed to be. He planned on coming clean as soon as they got a few private moments when they hit the ground in New York again. The Rat Murderer was back at it again. It had only been a few days, but apparently the NYPD was unable to hold the suspect long enough to try him for the murders. Derek petted Penny's hair, wondering why she had dyed it. He hated it when she dyed her hair and wished she would just leave it the natural blonde it was. He had always tried to be supportive of her fashion, because he liked the fact that she was unique. She woke soon after and buried her head in his shoulder. He kissed the top of her head, since she had ben acting like nothing happened, so was he. It seemed like what they were doing. Penelope started to whisper in his ear, but then felt him tense up. She took her hand and put it on his crotch. She suspected he wanted her, but she was right and she got slapped across the arm for her daring move.
"Don't do that here Baby Girl." He said
"Why not? You know I like to have some fun after a night of being lonely and doing shots." she said.
What Derek and Penny didn't know is that the other new couple in the BAU was watching them as well. Very discreetly. That would be JJ and Spencer. Whenever Penelope had made her move on Morgan, they both had made eye contact. JJ looked at Penelope as if she was breaking the law. Hotch hadn't seen it and it was a good thing too. They both would have been in some trouble. To make things worse for Derek and Penelope, section chief Erin Strauss was going to be coming up to New York to "assist" with the case. In Morgan's vocabulary this meant constant bitching. What Morgan didn't know is that his thoughts were the same as everybody else's. The plane touched down at 3:37am, Derek and Penny went to go get a room together as they just pretended that nothing had happened. It was probably for the best for now at least. They had to keep their heads in this case.
