Annie fell in love with Washington! It was a huge, busy city filled with opportunities and diversity in pretty much everything, she enjoyed the broad streets, the fact that she can go see the White House anytime she wanted, she enjoyed being surrounded by young and ambitious people of her age. When she first saw Washington FBI field office her jaw dropped. It was enormous! Whole Greendale could have fit in on just one floor. She was, however, worried a little, because most of the people around her came from all these big institutions, like Yale or Harvard and she felt a strong urge to prove them all that Greendale was just as good. Well, maybe not so much good, but adequate enough for people to succeed after it.
Yesterday, she and Tracy, her roommate, spent the entire day exploring the city, Annie didn't want to go everywhere she planned, because she was saving something for when Jeff is going to visit her, but they did go to see the Capitol, The Lincoln Memorial and National Mall and Veterans Memorials. Annie was taking hundreds of pictures and sending them to Jeff non-stop, first, when she sent him the photo of the Capitol, he joked that she was house-hunting without him, but then after picture #71 he stopped responding to her messages, Annie knew that it was too much information for Jeff and wasn't mad, but couldn't stop herself. When they talked later that evening, Jeff laughed how Annie practically spammed his phone, he promised he looked at all of them but he just didn't know what else to say.
Today, after pre-orientation was over, Annie decided to go for coffee in the park that wasn't far from her apartment and call Jeff from there. She was really happy with how things were for now, tomorrow she will go to see Quantico Office and probably meet some of the legends from FBI. She made a thorough research and hoped to get a glimpse at some top-tier agents and teams, like BAU or JTTF. She and Tracy were getting along great so far and Annie hoped they will become good friends, it was always nice to have a friend nearby. Tracy was also very thorough and loved to be in control, she was the same age as Annie and of Latino decent. However, Tracy loved to party and clothes shopping a lot, which wasn't necessarily Annie's thing, but she didn't mind as long as Tracy won't make parties Britta style.
Thinking about Britta made Annie's heart ache a little. She missed her old friends so much! She hasn't talked to any of them yet, since she was really busy, only exchanged a few text messages in their *Greendale7Forever* text-chain. She wanted to call Abed and ask him how he was settling in, Jeff talked to him yesterday and said he was doing fine, but Annie wanted to make sure.
She bought her favorite coffee, low caffeine with chocolate sprinkles, and found a nice big tree with a lonely bench next to it. As soon as she settled, she texted Jeff if he was ready for their call. In a couple of minutes, instead of texting her back she saw a familiar number and pressed green button.
'Hey, how is the hottest FBI agent doing today?' he asked grinning from ear to ear.
'I don't know, I still haven't met that guy from "Bones" yet,' she giggled.
'Very funny!' Jeff rolled his eyes trying not to sound annoyed. 'How was your meeting?'
'It was simply amazing! I met so many people today, although they are very fancy, all valedictorian, with honors, most of them came from places like Yale or MIT, but most of them seem nice enough, I hope. I am a little worried I get lost in the crowd, because I have to tell you their scores are just wow! And the FBI office, you should have seen it! I am totally making you visit it when you come to DC.'
'OK, I ignored the jibber-jabber about fancy schools, but, Annie, you will kick their pompous asses, I know that, Greendale or not.'
'Thanks,' she smiled gently at him. 'By the way, the funniest thing happened today!'
'What?'
'Our supervisor, who is awesome, by the way, is this special agent from Quantico, her name is Emily Prentiss and she looks almost exactly like our Frankie! I mean it, for a second there I was sure it was her, the resemblance is uncanny!'
'I've always suspected that Frankie leads a double life,' Jeff joked, mostly.
'I know! But enough about me, how you have been doing there? Ready for classes tomorrow?'
'Why would you remind me about that?' he frowned at her and Annie giggled at his grumpy face. 'It's fine, I spent most of the day at the gym today and I do need to read a few things for BAR.'
'Oh, how is that going?'
'Good, slow. But you know I've been actually busy with it only for two days, so we'll see.'
'I am sure you got it as long as you try a little.'
'Yeah, yeah, your blind trust in my abilities is very flattering, not that anybody doubts that I am the genius here.'
'Jeff!' Annie rolled her eyes, he could be so obnoxious sometimes.
'Whatever, do you have any plans for tonight?' Jeff asked his eyes were glimmering mischievously.
'Not really,' she answered slowly. 'I need to be at Quantico tomorrow at 8:00 a.m, so I was planning just to watch some TV-show and maybe talk to Abed and then, well, sleep. Why?'
'Well, you know, you didn't leave me the naked picture like I asked you and you did mention something about how it's 21st century and there are things like texts and video calls.'
'You are unbelievable! We've had sex two days ago!' she was trying to be mad, but he was simply adorable and sexy at the same time and she did mention something like that before leaving for DC.
'So, do I get my sexy call or the picture or what?' he asked with smirk, clearly not letting go of the subject.
'Fine, I'll see what I can do.'
'That's more like it!' Jeff grinned happily, clearly satisfied with his little victory, they chatted a few more minutes before Annie went to home to send that man his damn picture.
