Unfortunately, I do not own criminal minds. English isn't my first or my second language, so if you find some mistakes, please tell me. I would love some critic good or bad, but please be friendly. I have tried to make it more obvious when someone is speaking than last time.

It's been a normal day at the BAU, well as normal as it can be, the team is working on some paperwork, finishing some old reports, consuls and joking around. At least till Penelope bursts into the office: "Emily Elisabeth Jane Prentiss!" That brings her the attention of the hole office, even Dave, JJ and Hotch are coming out of their bureaus.
Derek grins at his partner and jokes: "What did you do, Princess?" But Emily just looks at him and shrugs: "I don't know but I'm kind of terrified." The Team gathers around in their small part of the bullpen, everyone looks at the two women having a staring contest. Emily's eyes are confused but Penelope's are lit with something they can't define. Rage? Yes. Offended? Definitely, and something else but neither can put a finger on it. "When where are you telling us?" "Telling you what?"
Garcia shows with a finger to her: "Ohh, don't play dumb with me, my today not so sweet sugarplum." Emily turns to the team, but they shrug. "Well Penelope, why don't you tell us what she did and then we can solve it?" asks Dave nicely and puts his hand to her back. "She is looking for a new place to live, but not alone no. She is searching with somebody; I didn't figure out with who, but I will. She is not searching for more then 120 square meters by her own." Now they can see on Emily's face that it's true and she knows that it is not worth denying anything. "Well, I guess it took you all long enough.", she says with a small smile on her face. Now everyone looks at her with a dumbfounded face: "What? So, JJ was allowed to hide her boyfriend but I'm not?" "Cara mia, everyone knew JJ had a boyfriend, even if she didn't tell us." JJ turns her head to Rossi: "What you all knew I've been seeing Will, even before I kissed him in that Police station?" They all start laughing and now it's Spencer who speaks: "Even I did and that is saying something…" "I thought you all knew I have a boyfriend and just didn't say anything. I didn't put an effort into hiding him." Hotch looks at her with a strange look on his face: "So you have a boyfriend then?" Emily looks at him and feels uncomfortable under his stare: "Yes, I never denied that." "Sugarplum! Don't let us hang here, seize? Height? Looks? Hair colour? Name? Occupation?" Again, all start to laugh, all but Hotch and Dave notices, but JJ interrupts before he can look more at his friend: "Good to know your priorities, Pen." Emily looks at her and nods: "What did you think were her priorities? But before I get interrogated what about we meet at the bar tonight and you can meet him?" "YES! Finally, something with sense comes out of your pretty mouth." Dave senses the discomfort of his friend: "Ok, so we meet tonight, let's say at 8pm?", everyone except for Hotch nods, "Great. That we settled that, back to work." With that the little get together dissolves and they all go back to their workplaces.
But Dave follows Aaron into his office: "Since when?" Aaron looks at him: "Since when what?" "Since when are you in love with her?" Hotch tries to play dumb: "I'm not in love with Prentiss." Rossi lifts his left eyebrow and Hotch know he isn't buying his bs: "Aaron, we've been friends for years, don't try that bullshit with me and you should ask: With who and not her name if you play the idiot. Since when?" Hotch exhales and mumbles: "I know it since Will told us that JJ's pregnant, she was so happy and her eyes were sparkling. I wanted to be the reason that she is that happy and I realised I would do anything to see her that happy, but I think I love her longer I just didn't know it…Fu*k Dave why didn't I tell her?" Rossi looks at him and doesn't know what to say, he sees that his friend really got feelings for Emily, but also knows that the woman sees him just as a friend. "Aaron… I know you probably know that and don't want to her it, but I think your feelings are one sided…" Hotch nods and looks with sad eyes to him: "I know… but I want to see and meet him and know if he is at least slightly good enough for her."
At 8pm almost everyone is gathered at a table in their favourite bar, just Emily is too late, well not to late but it is 8 o clock she is not here yet, so Penelope calls her. "Babygirl, she is not even late yet." "Well not yet but it is 8 so I call her." Emily comes through the door, looks at her phone, laughs and lifts her phone: "PG, it's one after 8!" "Peaches! Finally, oh you look pretty." Emily wears a black skinny jean, red high heels and a red camisole and Hotch stares at her, till he feels Dave's elbow in his ribs. "Well thank you." "Enough with that, where is he?" Even the others got a curious look on their face, Emily smiles and answers: "He's been on his way home as I left the apartment, he will go to the apartment and puts his gun away and changes." Now JJ starts to laugh: "Pay up Will, Spence." Will grins and gives JJ 20: "She said your new boyfriend would carry a gun and Spencer and I didn't believe her. What does he do for living?" "He is an agent at the NCIS.", Emily looks at them and sees their surprised faces. "What? Is it that strange that someone works as a NCIS agent?" They shake their heads, Derek wants to say something, but the door opens and all the eyes of the girls in the bar are on the man who enters, he is 6'9, got black hair and deep blue eyes. "Wow, that's the best-looking guy I've ever seen", Penelope basically drools, and Spencer says: "That's because he has a perfectly symmetrical face, is big and the black hair with blue eyes is one of the rarest combinations around 1…" "Reid shut up I don't need to hear this.", Morgan says with a turn of his eyes. "Oh, my chocolate thunder you are still my number one, even if he looks like the perfect painting." Now all the eyes are on Morgan, he grins and gives her a side hug. She smiles at him but then whispers loudly: "Em! Em! EM! He's coming and he is looking at you!"
The Team plus Will look at him as he approaches the table and just stares at Emily, then taps her on the shoulder and she turns around: "Excuse me. I just thought; if you were a phaser on Star Trek, you be set to stun!" To the surprise to everyone on the table Emily answers: "Well if you are a borg, I'll lower my shields and so you can surrender my heart." They smile at each other, but Spencer says: "These are now my favourite pick up lines. I just love Star Treck." Emily looks at the still stunned faces of her friends, looks to the mystery man and they both start to laugh. Penelope just shakes her head: "Not that that wasn't fun to watch but… what the hell just happened?" The others nod and Emily starts to explain, after the guy brings another chair to the table. "Everyone that's Luc (French pronunciation) he's my boyfriend for the last 9 months and about these pick-up-lines, that's kind of how we met."
They exchange greetings and after that Penelope begs to know how they met each other and that they shouldn't leave something out. So, Luc and Prentiss exchange looks, and he starts: "No worries I didn't use a pick-up-line, I think we all know Em would just have laughed about me. We were both sitting at the counter and between us was a woman, well I think we all three had a not so good day. A man came up to the woman between us and used -Your eyes are like IKEA. I'm totally lost in them. – and she just grabs his hand, pulls him with her and says -Well I guess I need to show you the way out. - We were both so surprised that it worked. We looked at each other and started laughing. Emily asked me if she had just dreamt that or if the woman had really gone for it. That's how we got talking until Steve, the barman, kicked us out. Then I asked her if she want to go out with me and she said yes. Somehow, after the first date, when I used this exact phrase, it became established that we always greet each other with such phrases."
He smiles at her and they kiss. Emily asks: "PG, is that detailed enough?" Penelope nods with tears in her eyes and mumbles: "They should make a film about you. The only thing that is missing is the guy or the that fell in love with one of you and courses some drama. I would totally watch it and I know you would to Em and JJ."
Rossi looks at his friend who has a shocked look on his face and thinks 'I don't think that guy is missing.'
