A/N: I sadly still do not own anything, as much as it saddens me, I will get through this… Also please note at the time being there is only one crossover character being used. That may change later. You will be able to tell who it is later in this chapter.

Chapter Seven

Rossi and Reid chatted amicably while they rode up Route 1 towards Emily's house. Reid was visibly nervous, and his bouncing in the seat was driving Rossi nuts.

"Reid, you have got to sit still. Why are you so nervous about seeing Emily, you see her everyday as it is. How is this any different?"

"Dave, we have not gone anywhere that we would be seen together by coworkers. This is the first time that it will happen. What if she regrets it, because they tease her about me?"

"Reid, you know her better than that. Do you really think that that is how she will behave? Now get ready because we are about to pull up in front of her place and you are a wreck."

"I don't know, I guess." The younger man said drawing in a deep breath as the limo came to a stop. The driver came around and opened the door, and she stepped out, took another deep breath, squared his shoulders and started up the steps to get his date. Halfway up the sidewalk the front door opened and Katie, Emily's neighbor stepped out he heard her say "You look fabulous. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when he sees you!"

"Umm, "said Reid while clearing his throat, "Hi Katie. Then he focused in on Emily, his heart skipped a beat, his mouth went dry, and for a split second he thought he might pass out. Emily looked radiant. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and he told her as much.

"Well you love birds drive safe. I have to drop Brianna off at Jessica's so that I will be ready to go when Dave gets home. We will see you later tonight ok?" Katie said with a grin, Reid was still speechless, and Emily was not much better. As she walked by she nudged Spencer out of his state of shock and whispered "Go get her Romeo!"

With that he came back to himself and strode as quickly as his healing leg would allow him up the stairs. He got there just as she was locking her door. She turned around quickly and nearly knocked him into the bushes.

"Sorry Spencer, a second ago you were down there, now you are up here. You look really good in a tux you know that?"

"You look unbelievably beautiful Emily; I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you are tonight. May I escort you to the car?" He asked offering her his arm and picking up her go bag.

"Thank You," she said with a smile and they walked to the car, arm in arm happier than anyone had ever seen them.

Once in the car, Emily begins to interrogate Rossi about how he figured them out.

"Well do you remember the night we got back from the case in Canada?" he began, I thought I was the last one to leave, but I saw a small amount of light on in Strauss' office so I peeked in to see who was there…lo and behold it was the two of you. You had been messing with her desk, taken out the drawers super glued them in upside down. Unscrewed the bolts on her chair armrests, loosened all the bulbs in the lights. It took her a week to put it back how it was. I also noticed how you kept scooting closer and closer to Reid as you were working. Care to explain that Emily?" Rossi grinned at their horrified faces.

"I am just glad you two thought to wear the CSI tyvek suits and gloves. You know she had a forensic team come in there the next day. Either you were very careful or the forensic team had your back. I know what I think."

Emily starts giggling, and suddenly just starts laughing so hard she thinks she will pee herself. "That was one of the most enjoyable evenings I have ever had. Strauss totally deserved it don't you think?"

Reid is blushing to the roots of his hair. "That was a lot of fun, I was so afraid we were gonna get caught."

"Well that's when I knew that if you were not already together you would be very soon.


Little by little the team arrives at the Fredericksburg expo center. They gather in the entryway. Garcia and Morgan are standing chatting in their normal playful banter, so the rest of the team thinks nothing of it. Hotch walked outside to make a call on his cell.

"Hey, are you on your way?" he asks the woman on the other end of the phone.

"I will be there really soon. I can't wait to see you, it's been too long." a cultured voice on the other end says, "Do you think he will be happy to see me? She says with a trace of nerves in her voice.

"I know he will. See you when you get here." Hotch hangs up the phone and walks back inside. He then notices that while he was on the phone JJ had arrived.

"JJ you look beautiful" he says walking over to her. "Is your date coming?" he said with a uncharacteristically conspiratorial wink. She knew some of what he had in store.

"He'll be here soon" she smiled. "You look really great tonight too Aaron" she said not even noticing the slip she had made calling him by his first name.

Just then Rossi walked in and behind him in coordinated formal wear were Reid and Prentiss. The jaws on every team member dropped. Reid and Prentiss were walking arm in arm like they did it every day!

"Reid, my man!" Morgan said the first to regain his composure at the shock of seeing the sweet but shy Dr. Reid on the arm of perhaps the most Alpha female on the team.

Just then the doors to the entrance open and in walks a good friend of the team's Ziva David. She is dressed just as beautifully as the female members of the team, dressed in a hot pink dress with a pleated and rouched top, and rhinestones in a circular pattern all the way around the mermaid style dress. No one could help but notice how beautifully the color accented her exotic skin tone.

"Ziva, what are you doing here?" several people asked in unison.

Without replying, she walked directly to Rossi, looked him in the eye and kissed him.

A/N: I was gonna make the big reveal this chapter but this just begged to be written. I promise next chapter we will find out about Hotch's date. Unless you have already figured it out and would like to message me your guess. Thanks for "Reid"-ing!
