Although i do own CurlyMelinda, Topper and Rascal.Kasey

Derek was woken the next morning by the smell of breakfast cooking. "Good Morning" Derek said as he strolled into the kitchen to get himself some coffee.

"Morning Mr. Derek" Rascal said with a shy smile.

"Just call me Derek" he told her.

She nodded still smiling shyly.

"What's your real name?" Derek asked her.

"Her name is Kasey" Curly said as she came into the kitchen.

"And it's such a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl" Derek said.

"Thank you" Kasey said with a blush.

"And do you have a name?" Derek asked Curly.

"Yes but I don't like it" Curly said.

"It's Melinda" Penelope said from the doorway

Penelope! Curly snapped.

"What! It's a beautiful name, I don't know what the problem is" Penelope snapped back.

Derek raised an eyebrow "now that sounded like the old Penelope" Derek thought.

"Ladies, no need to fight I think it's a beautiful name also for a beautiful lady" Derek said.

Curly blushed an even deeper shade of red than what Kasey did.

For the life of her, Penelope didn't know why Derek calling Curly beautiful should send a sharp pain through her heart.

Just as Penelope was picking up her coffee cup there was a loud banging at the door. Penelope was startled so badly that she dropped her cup and it crashed to the floor, spilling coffee everywhere and smashing the cup. Penelope brought panicked eyes up to meet Derek's.

"She looks like she is going to bolt any minute" Derek thought.

"It's OK Penelope, your safe here. No one is going to hurt you here" Derek said.

Derek mumbled something not repeatable under his breath as he went to answer the door. He threw the door open and came face to face with Reid. "Oh not now" he thought.

"Derek have you got any leads on finding Penelope" Reid asked as he walked through the door.

"AHH as a matter of fact I was going to called Hotch shortly" Derek said.

"You've got something? Reid asked him.

"Yes I have found her, but we have a problem." Derek said.

"What do you mean we have a problem? Just go get her! Drag her home if you have to" Reid said.

"Reid, Penelope had a little trouble when she was underground and well, she had an accident of sorts and she had a bump to her head. She doesn't remember anything before three weeks ago" Derek told him.

"What! Reid yelped she doesn't remember any of us not even you?" Reid asked.

"No" Derek repeated.

"OK Where is she?" Reid asked.

"She's in the kitchen. You scared her half to death banging the door down like that" Derek replied.

Reid had the good grace to blush.

They walked into the kitchen to find Kasey hiding under the table and Penelope nowhere to be seen.

Derek asked Curly where Penelope was while helping Kasey out from under the table.

"It's OK Kasey no one is going to hurt here" Derek said.

Whiz ran into the bedroom as soon as she heard him yelling Curly said while pointing an accusing finger at Reid.

"Whiz?" Reid asked Derek as he walked out of the kitchen.

He walked into the bedroom and his heart almost stopped beating when he couldn't see Penelope anywhere. He finally found her squeezing herself in between the wardrobe and the wall.

"Baby girl?" Derek knelt down in front of her, he kept his voice soft and low so he didn't scare her anymore than she already was. "Baby girl?" it's OK nobody's going to hurt you here Derek said.

Penelope looked up into his eyes; he had the most amazing eyes she had ever seen. When she was looking into them she thought she could almost drown in them, she had the funniest feeling in the pit of her stomach and even though she couldn't remember him, she just felt that he was someone important to her.
