Dale was just finishing up the last touches on Sky's room. He had decided to surprise Elle and Sky and paint the room while they were gone. He had found some paint that didn't have any fumes, but still had the window open as he worked. The walls weren't dry so he pulled everything back a little bit so Sky could still sleep in there her first night. He had put everything almost like it had been in her old room. He heard the door open and decided to stay in the room.

"Can I go see my room Mommy?" Sky asked.

"Go ahead Sky," Elle replied.

The two of them went up the stairs, and Elle was wondering where Dale had gone. She was surprised the bedroom door was closed. Sky opened the door and went inside. She giggled excitedly when she saw the room. Dale had ducked into the closet to surprise her.

"Mommy! You said wasn't gonna be the same as my old room!" Sky told her.

Sky was looking around the room, and everything was almost the same as her old room. The walls were painted light purple, and all of her things were on her dresser. She took Tux and placed him on the bed with a few of her other stuffed toys. Elle smiled and wondered where Dale had gone she wanted to thank him for painting Sky's room.

"It wasn't supposed to be," Elle told her. "I guess someone wants to surprise you."

"It was you Mommy!" giggled Sky.

"No it wasn't!" Dale told her coming out of the closet.

Sky's eyes lit up when she saw her uncle Dale. She jumped off of her bed and went over and hugged him. Dale smiled and hugged Sky back, lifting her up into his arms. Sky wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Uncle Dale!! Where's Uncle Jesse?" Sky asked.

"He had to work so he couldn't but he sent you a present for your new room," Dale explained handing her a wrapped gift.

"Oh okay, you'll have to give him a hug for me."

"I will."

"Can I open my present right away?"

"Yes, of course you can."

Sky ripped open the paper off of the gift. She then opened the box. She looked inside and there was a picture frame with ballet slippers all around the frame. Inside of it there was a picture of Sky in a tutu with Dale and Jesse in her old room. She had dressed up as ballerina for Halloween the year before. Elle had had to work so Dale and Jesse had taken her through the building trick or treating.

"Thank you! I'm gonna be a real ballerina soon!"

"I know you will be, you're going to be famous one day, I hope you don't forget about me."

"No cause you painted my room for me!"

"Of course I did sweetie pie, that's what you do when you love someone."

"I love you too Uncle Dale. I'm gonna put my picture right here so I can say goodnight to you and Uncle Jesse whenever I am at my house." Sky then put the picture frame on her side table. "Did Mommy tell you about my daddy?"

"I'd like that very much then I know that you're saying goodnight to us and you won't forget us. Yes she did, but I want to hear all about him from you."

"Okay! He's really super smart! He knows like everything about everything! He can read super duper fast too! He said that he is gonna try and teach me how to read that fast when I get older. And his job is to catch bad guys like what Mommy used to do before I was borned!"

"Wow that's a pretty interesting job, and you're smart too so you must be like him. Who is your new friend there by the way?"

"Oh! That is Tux! He used to be Daddy's, he's magic and he takes bad dreams away!" Sky picked up the bear. "Tux this is my Uncle Dale he's a good guy, so if I have dreams about him don't scare them away okay?"

Elle smiled when she heard Sky say that. She didn't want Dale and Jesse to be replaced in Sky's life. She loved how excited she got when she talked about her father and all of the things they did together.

"What did you do you do with your dad?" Dale asked her.

"Yesterday we went to a puppet show my cousin Henry!" Sky explained. "It was so much fun! We got to sit up front with the other kids, Aunt Pen said we could go again when there is another puppet show too!"

"Your cousin Henry?" Elle asked.

"Yeah! That's what Aunt JJ told me that Henry was. She told me to call her Aunt JJ when I was there and to call Henry's dad Uncle will. Oh, and Miss Garcia asked me to call her Aunt Pen! Isn't that so cool?"

"That is pretty cool Sky," Elle said smiling.

Elle was glad that her old friends were so accepting of Sky. She had always felt like the BAU had been her extended family and had missed them since she had left. She hoped that would be able to be friends with them again. Elle was also relieved that Sky had people there who loved her and would be able to help take care of her. She had been worried that she would be alone when she moved but now she knew that they had made the right choice since Sky had gotten an instant family.

"That is really great," Dale said. "So you got a daddy and a whole family moving here, you're so lucky. But I'm gonna miss you so much."

"I'll miss you and Uncle Jesse too," Sky told him. "Maybe you could move here too?"

"Maybe but it might take a while Sky."

"Okay, before you go home you gotta meet my daddy and Emily."

"All right I'd like that."

"Cool!"

"How about we have some lunch then I'd like you to take a nap," Elle told Sky.

"Are you gonna tuck me in?" Sky asked.

"Of course I will."

They went into the kitchen where Elle made them sandwiches. The three of them ate their lunch, while Sky told them stories about Reid. Elle and Sky then went up to her room where Elle tucked her in. Sky fell asleep within second of hitting the pillow. Elle then went back down to the living room to start unpack. She was happy that Dale had agreed to stay for a few days to help her get the house together. She was happy to back in the Washington DC area even tough it meant leaving her old friends behind. She knew that it was what was best for Sky.
