Well this is just great, new FBI Agent Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau thought to herself.

She was fresh out of the academy having just been picked by the legendary Agent Jason Gideon along with only one other student to be a part of FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit.

It was her first day at her first job and she was going to be late.

She had overslept, she hadn't eaten, her hands were shaking with nerves, the takeaway coffee she had under her one arm was going cold, and now her car wouldn't lock.

Stupid old banger, she thought to herself.

Her plan was to get a new car as soon as possible, this one may have sentimental value but if it cost her this job she was going to scrap the damn thing.

Finally after managing to lock the car she took off quickly towards the building of her new job when suddenly she felt herself collide with something hard.

Something that fell to floor.

Something that her coffee spilled all over from the sudden contact.

Something that she was pretty sure was actually in fact a someone, not a something.

Looking down her eyes widened.

There on the floor was a woman wearing a pant suit, she looked to be in her mid-twenties and had shoulder length dark brown hair.

"What the?" The woman started dazed.

"Oh my god!" JJ cut in.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there!" She apologized.

"I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" She continued after realizing what she had done.

The brunette looked down at her chest were the coffee that had been flung on her was seeping through her shirt, making her bra visible.

Brushing herself off, she pulled herself up from the floor before pulling the blazer she has wearing a bit tighter around herself.

"I'll be fine, nothing a change of clothes can't fix." She said.

"I'm so sorry, I can be such an idiot sometimes!" JJ apologized again, feeling her cheeks turn red in embarrassment.

"Seriously it's fine, err…?" She said trying to figure out the name of the person who had knocked her over, realizing she had never seen her before.

"Jennifer, Jennifer Jareau." JJ supplied holding her hand out for the brunette to shake.

"Emily Prentiss." The brunette replied shaking JJ's hand.

"Don't worry Jennifer. I wasn't exactly paying attention to where I was going either." Emily said with a shrug, which wasn't entirely a lie, she had been searching for her phone in her bag.

She should have been angry, this woman had just thrown coffee all over a new shirt.

Usually she would be angry, but something about the blonde made her want to be nice.

To not take her head off like she usually would do to anyone else who had done this to her.

She found that she really didn't have the heart to the make the blonde feel bad, she already looked so guilty.

"Your shirt is ruined, here let me give you some money to replace it" JJ said as she began to search in her handbag for her purse.

"There's no need. Honestly. I have a change of clothes in my car. Besides this one is old anyway." Emily assured her, partially lying.

"Are you sure?" JJ said looking up from her bag, her eyes large.

"It's fine. You seem like you're in a hurry anyway." Emily replied.

"I'm kinda running late, it's my first day." JJ replied her hand now leaving her handbag to rub the back of her neck nervously.

"Don't let me keep you then." Emily said with a small smile.

"Thanks, sorry again." JJ said while starting to walk backwards.

"It's fine, just maybe next time pay more attention to what's"-

Emily began to say, stopping as Jennifer who had been walking backwards turned around right into a wall with an 'oofff' sound.

-"around you." Emily finished.

"I'm okay." She heard Jennifer call out before dashing off.

"Interesting girl." She said to herself amused.

Twenty minutes later SSA Emily Prentiss made her way into the Bullpen of the BAU with a new shirt on under her blazer.

She quickly dumped her handbag on her desk and made her way to her boss and team leader SSA Aaron Hotchner's office.

She knocked on the door once before quickly entering.

"Sorry I'm late Hotch, crazy morning! Had a slight accident in the parking lot." She said making her way into the office leaving the door wide open.

"Emily?" She heard a voice ask in surprise to her left.

Looking to her side she noticed the girl from earlier was sat in the chair opposite her team leader.

"Jennifer, right?" Emily said before taking the empty seat next to her.

"You two know each other?" Hotch asked in surprise.

"I'm the reason she's late." JJ said in response, feeling the need to make sure the other woman didn't get into trouble due to her clumsiness.

"We sort of bumped into each other and I threw my coffee all over her." JJ explained seeing her new bosses' confused expression.

"You did that to Prentiss before 9 'o' clock in the morning and you're alive to tell the tale" A voice said impressed from the open door.

"Damn it Morgan, I'm not that bad!" Emily said rolling her eyes.

"Derek, can you close the door please?" Hotch asked slightly amused by the exchange although not showing it.

He waited he door to be closed before turning back to the two female agents in front of him.

"Now you're here let's continue." He said changing the topic noticing the newer agent's nervousness and wanting to get on with the day.

"Agent Jareau here, is joining us fresh from the academy. She is going to be our media liaison for when we are out in the field, she will also be helping me choose the cases that we work on." Hotch explained to Emily, who shot an impressed glance towards the blonde.

Hotch couldn't blame her, he had been unsure at first as well, but when Gideon had showed him what the girl had accomplished while training at the academy he knew she would be perfect for the role.

"I thought it might be an idea for you to show Agent Jareau how we operate around here, introduce the other members of our team to her." Hotch said now addressing Emily specifically.

"Not a problem." Emily immediately replied, throwing JJ a quick smile.

"Did you bring the documents we spoke about?" Hotch asked addressing JJ now.

"Yeah, right here." JJ said pulling a bunch of papers out from her handbag that was on the floor next to her chair.

"Good. Our technical analysist will need to see those, to get you on the system and get your credentials updated. Prentiss will show you where to take them." Hotch explained, before dismissing the two agents.

"Off to Garcia's lair we go." Emily said while standing, waiting for JJ to stand too collecting her bag.

"Any problems come and find me." Hotch said not looking up from the file he had begun reading.

"We'll be fine, Garcia isn't that bad." Emily joked while opening the door allowing JJ to walk though first.

Hotch smiled slightly as Emily walked out after, closing the door behind her this time.

Morgan had been right.

He didn't know many people that could do what the new agent had accidentally done to Prentiss and get away with it, this was going to be interesting.


AN: so...that was their first meeting, what did you think? Let me know!
