A/n this is set during "The Good Earth," in season eight. I hope you enjoy. The end of the episode ranks number one on my list of all-time cutest Spencer and Henry moments.

Halloween

Uncle Spence visited me today. He said Mommy invited him for brunch. What is brunch? We had lots of good food to eat, and Uncle Spence stayed to play with me and do magic for a long time. I wish he could do magic every day, but Mommy said that Uncle Spence has his own life to take care of and that I can't be selfish with his attention.

When Uncle Spence read me a story, he said that soon it would be Halloween. Mommy told me about Halloween and said that we'd go trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Mommy said I could pick out my costume and show it to all my aunts and uncles at the BAU. Daddy said he'd help me choose my costume. Uncle Spence said that Halloween is his favorite holiday. What is a holiday?

I couldn't go to sleep after Uncle Spence read me a story, so I decided to go downstairs to see Mommy and Daddy. I heard them talking, and I wanted to hear about Mommy's case. Daddy never talks to Mommy about her cases when I'm in the room. Mommy says that her cases are only for big people's ears.

Mommy and Daddy were sitting on the sofa and drinking something they call wine. They never let me have a taste. Daddy said it's only for big people. Why do big people get to do stuff I don't understand? I didn't like what Mommy said to Daddy about all the monsters in the world. Uncle Spence said that Halloween was for make-believe monsters, but Mommy said there are real monsters. Johnny said that all the monsters come out on Halloween because no one can tell they are real. If monsters are real, I don't want to go outside on Halloween.

I was too scared to sleep, but after a little while, my eyes closed, and then it was morning. Mommy came in to say it was time to get up. I like it when Mommy is home in the morning and doesn't have a case.

"Mommy, you have a case?"

"No, baby star, but I do have to go to work today."

"Can I have pancakes?"

"No, you had them yesterday. Daddy's making eggs and bacon."

"Don't like eggs."

"Come on, Henry. Let's get you dressed and then we can talk about breakfast."

"Hey, Henry," Daddy said when Mommy and I came into the kitchen. "You ready for eggs."

"Want coco-puffs."

"I told you," Daddy said to Mommy.

"What do you expect? Just think about the sugar high he'll be on in a couple of days."

"You looking forward to Halloween and all that candy, Henry."

"Don't want to go. Don't like Halloween."

"Honey, monsters aren't real. It's only pretend when everyone dresses up."

"You said there are real monsters, Mommy."

"I think someone overheard us talking, cher." Daddy said.

"I promise we'll stay close to you and you'll see that monsters aren't real."

"No, don't wanna go."

Mommy and Daddy looked at each other, and I knew they were unhappy, but I'm not going to let a monster get me.

After mommy went to work, I got to go to the park with Daddy and play with Johnny. The monsters don't come out in the daytime, so I didn't get scared. Mommy didn't come home because she had to work on a case. I got to talk to her on the phone two times, and she told me that if I was scared, I should go out on Halloween and try to figure out which monsters are real and which are pretend.

Mommy goes on cases to figure out where the monsters are with Uncle Spence. I decided that I want to be just like Uncle Spence. Aunty Penny came to get me after school and said that Mommy would be home in time for trick-or-treating. I'm excited to show Uncle Spence my costume.

Mommy finally came home, and I waited for her in Aunty Penny's office. I like Aunty Penny's office because it's full of interesting things called computers. Aunty Penny had my costume, and she helped me to put it on. She told me what to say to Uncle Spence when we went to the office.

Mommy told all my aunts and uncles that I was going to be my favorite profiler. Uncle Spence looked really happy when I went into the office place. He gave me his badge to wear, and Aunty Penelope said to tell him, so I said "E = MC2." What does that mean? I don't know, but Uncle Spence laughed and gave me a high five. I like it when Uncle Spence laughs. I want him to smile all the time. Mommy said we could get candy and Uncle Spence came with us.

I want to be a profiler when I get big.
