Hello! We made it to 10 chapters! I hope you all have enjoyed the story so far. Sorry for the weird coding that I posted last night. Special thanks to Bohogal1998 for helping solve this issue. Next chapter will be posted on Tuesday :)

Chapter 10

During the next day, Emily went to go get some groceries before Dani came back from school. She texted the teenager that she arrived back from Boston and told her to come back with an appetite. Dani knew what this meant. It meant Emily was going to order something to eat because her culinary skills are not the best.

Emily arrived back home with groceries. She went to go put them away and ordered pizza. For the remainder of the day, she was catching up on paperwork. Emily never liked wasting time when she could be doing something productive. Being a work addict was her weakness. She knows it could be unhealthy from time to time but, what else can she do when she is the head of the BAU?

Four o'clock comes around and Dani arrives home. She opens the door and is welcomed with a fresh smell of pizza. She took off her shoes and hung her sweater. She enters the living room and see's Emily on her computer.

"Hello, agent. I see you are enjoying your break," Dani says, hence the word break with air quotes. Emily looks up, startled.

"Geez. I didn't notice that you arrived," Emily said, getting up. She walks towards Dani and gives her a hug.

"I should be the one who is surprised," Dani says, still embraced by the brunette. "If you wouldn't have texted me, I would have thought you were a burglar."

Emily releases Dani and looks at her. "I'm sorry for being out for a while, Honey."

"It's alright," she replied. She looked at Emily, who didn't look so convinced. "But, if your one-sided guilt won't leave you alone, I totally accept pizza as an apology," Dani says with a smile.

"That sounds like a deal," Emily responded. She guided Dani to the kitchen with one hand wrapped around her. Emily pulls out two plates and serves a slice for each plate. Dani gets the plates and places them on the table while Emily retrieves the wings and soda.

The two of them start eating. While Dani was serving herself a cup of soda, Emily asked "What did you do during these days?"

"Sorry, agent, can't tell. It's top-secret," Dani said with a smirk.

"Very funny," Emily said with a sarcastic tone. "What did you do?"

"Well, over the weekend I went to visit some friends back in my hometown," she said. "We went out and ate. Catch up on our lives and hang out at the park."

"I'm glad you got to see them," Emily said with a smile.

"Me too. I really missed those guys. We would do the dumbest things we could possibly imagine," Dani said with a chuckle. Emily raised an eyebrow, curious at the statement. "Don't worry. They were legal… for the most part."

Emily just rolled her eyes. "Alright. Remember that tomorrow when you come back from school we have to meet up with the social worker."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that," Dani said. "Woohoo. I can't wait," she said with a sarcastic voice.

"Same here. But, it will just be for a while."

"I hope so." They finish eating and clean up. Dani goes upstairs and starts on her homework while Emily finishes her paperwork. After the agent is done, she goes upstairs and enters Dani's room. When entering, she hears guitar strings being played in a soft tune. She sees Dani sitting on her bed playing her guitar. Dani glances up and see's Emily at her door entrance.

"Hey," Emily says. "I see you are playing some tunes."

"Just practicing a bit. It's been a while since I have actually played a song."

"I see," she said, sitting on the side of Dani's bed. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to watch a movie together. Obviously, you will still go to bed on time for school."

Dani smiles. "Sure thing. I will prepare the popcorn." Dani places her guitar on the stand and makes her way downstairs with Emily. As Dani is preparing the popcorn, Emily is scrolling through movies.

"Any movie request?" Emily asked. Dani arrived at the living room with two bowls of popcorn in hand.

"Not really. As long as they are not cringy love stories, I'm good." She sits next to Emily and places the bowls on the coffee table.

Emily chuckles. "How about a horror movie? I haven't seen any movies that scare me."

"I highly doubt any movie can scare you," Dani said. "I mean, those crazy cases you have to solve are just something else."

"That is true. But that won't stop me from trying to find a scary movie," she said. "How about A Quiet Place?" she said, hovering at the movie's title.

"I heard it's pretty good," Dani replies. "Play it. Let's see who is the first one to get scared."

"That sounds like a bet," Emily said. She pressed play and the movie starts. Dani gets a large, red blanket that was on the side of the couch. With half of it she covers herself while handing the other half to Emily, who also covers herself. The agent snuggles closer to Dani, who in response lays her head on Emily's shoulder. Emily wraps her arm around Dani and watches the movie.

The movie ended, leaving Dani intrigued. "What? Why did the movie end in a cliffhanger?"

"Well, they are most likely going to make a second part," Emily says while standing up. "I guess you have to wait until they release it."

"Aww," Dani said. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. Emily smiled at Dani, thinking her gesture was cute.

"You should go to sleep Dan. I will clean the rest of this up," Emily told Dani.

"No. I'm good. I could help you," Dani responded, trying to look energetic.

"It's okay. I got this," Emily said. She walks towards Dani and places both arms on her shoulders. "You should go get some rest. You have school and then an appointment. I need you to have the energy for both, okay?"

"Alright, you win," Dani said.

"I always do," Emily replies with a grin. She brushes Dani's cheek and gives her a kiss on her temple. "Rest well."

"You too," Dani replies.

Dani was at lunch with her friends. They were all waiting to get food in the line, hoping that there was anything good left. When they get their trays, they all sit down at the same table and start to eat.

"I can't believe our algebra teacher is already giving us a test," said James. "It's just the second week of school! What's the big idea?"

"I don't know. All we have really done so far is review what we did last year," Amelia responded

"I just hope it-"

They hear a commotion at the back of the cafeteria. They all turn around and see a few of the male "Chaotics" members gather around and start throwing punches at a group of sophomores. They all start screaming and fighting. The rest of the students in the cafeteria started gathering around the fight and started videotaping. Dani sees how the sophomores get beat up badly. Security storms in and immediately separate them. She sees how the sophomores are all bruised up. Dani's friends were shocked when looking at them.

"My God. I can't believe that just happened," Emma said with her eyes wide open.

"Sheesh. I am never getting near the chaotics. I don't want to end up like that," Amelia said, pointing at the sophomores.

Security tells the students to head up back to class. They all grab their trays and dump them in the trash. Dani is walking with her friends not really paying attention to what they are saying. She was thinking about never wanting to get close to those people. She doesn't want to get in trouble all because of some dumb group who just causes trouble for fun. She just hopes she never crosses paths with them.
