A/N: Hope y'all love the update!

After Hotch finished his rant, Penelope and Derek followed him back to the campsite. Kate and Rossi were on their heels as well, whispering among themselves.

"I've never seen Hotch so mad before," Kate whispered to the older man, nudging him as they walked. "Is he usually like this?"

"Only on certain occasions," Rossi replied. "He calms down fast though. Give him about twenty minutes and he'll be singing another tune entirely."

She digested that for a second. "I sure hope you're right," Kate said. "Otherwise this is going to make for a long vacation, especially for Morgan and Garcia."

"Oh, I'm sure they'll find a way to cope," he joked. "They've always been like this. Not to this extreme, but this isn't the most surprising thing to happen to the team."

"I was surprised," Kate babbled. "I mean, who has sex in the woods? It seems...unsanitary. What if you roll around in poison ivy or someone catches you? Talk about embarrassing."

Rossi laughed then. "And that's why Hotch is so mad at them. If they were caught by people walking by, that would look bad on the FBI."

"True," she said. They walked a little ways before she turned to him. "Okay, Rossi, spill. I know you're hiding something. Your behavior is all over the place."

"Moi?" the Italian said in shock, but couldn't hide his smile. "Alright, you get an A. I have a secret."

"What is it?" Kate asked. They were separate from the group then. Then: "Tell me!"

"I'm the one who planted the spider on Morgan and Garcia," Rossi said. "Don't tell a soul."

"You followed them and watched them do it?" Kate shrieked. "That's disgusting!"

"What?" he cried. "No, no! I put the spider in the beanie Derek was wearing before they left. He had it sitting outside their tent opening and I couldn't resist."

Kate stared at him in shock. Derek had been wearing a beanie throughout the hike because he was afraid of getting his head sunburned. "I take precautions," he had said to Garcia, who had teased him to no end about his new look.

"Where'd you get the spider?"

"The little guy was in my tent," Rossi said, hardly able to speak without laughing. "I couldn't help myself. It was there and I could hear them talking about how horny they were. It was the perfect prank."

Kate playfully punched him in the arm. "You're awful!" she said. "You scared them to death!"

"A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do," he said, starting the trek back to the campsite again. "While we're on the subject of behavior, though, you have a secret too, Callahan."

"Do I?"

"Yep," Rossi said. "You've been absentmindedly looking at your phone all day. That signals to me that you're expecting a call or some news. You've also cut your hair shorter, which most women tend to do after a significant event in their lives."

"Is that all you got?" Kate asked laughing. "C'mon Rossi. You can do better than that. What's my secret?"

"Well," he started. "You haven't talked about Chris in months. He doesn't drop by the office or bring you coffee anymore. You've stopped wearing your wedding ring." He nodded to her left hand. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you and Chris weren't together anymore."

"Damn profilers," she said. Then: "Chris signed the divorce papers today."

Hotch strode into the campsite, where Reid was sitting beside a small fire with the boys. "Hey," the genius said. "Everything alright Hotch?"

"Ask the horndogs back there," he said, jerking his head in the direction of Derek and Penelope. They'd been following him like kids on their way to detention.

"Wait up Daddy," Jack yelled, following his Dad back down to the lake. It seemed that Hotch needed room to cool off. "I wanna come with you!"

"Me too!" yelled Henry and the boys were off, leaving Reid, Derek, and Penelope alone.

"What did he say?" Reid asked. "Something about hotdogs?"

Derek only groaned loudly. "No," he said. "He called us horndogs."

"Horndogs?"

"We were having sex in the woods," Penelope said, her entire face aflame. "Well, trying to anyway."

"What?" Reid cried. "That's disgusting! Haven't you ever heard of the things you can catch out here? Not to mention the statistics behind having sex outside…"

"Reid," Derek interrupted. "Please. I've had enough embarrassment and lecture today. Hotch has already told us everything you could want to."

Derek couldn't be more glad for his dark complexion right then. His entire face was heating up, and he knew his embarrassment would show if he was lighter. Poor Penelope's face was almost purple she was so humiliated.

"I can't get the image out of my head," Penelope finally said. "Hotch saw us doing it. I wonder how much he actually saw. I mean, the three of them were standing there watching us. How long were they there?"

"I wonder if he saw your privates," Reid said.

"Privates?" Derek said laughing. "Reid this isn't junior high. You can use their anatomical names."

"I'd rather not," he said, knowing Derek would tease him if he used their actual names. It just didn't sound right coming out of the genius's mouth. "Well, did he?"

"I don't think so," Penelope answered. "My shirt was undone, but I still had my bra on. Both of us were still wearing our pants. We were just...well, getting ready to undress."

Reid seemed like he was sympathetic toward them. "Hotch should calm down soon," he said. "It looks like they're down there fishing."

Penelope peered through the trees to see what the boys were doing. They were fishing for supper with Hotch, so she decided they shouldn't disturb them. They definitely wanted Hotch to be calmer for dinner.

"I'm going to go change for dinner," she said. "My clothes are a little muddy from before. I'll be back."

Penelope headed for the tent then, holding her hair back in a ponytail with one hand. It seemed like it was getting warmer outside than cooler. Hoping there was a hair tie in her bag, she opened the tent flap and gasped at the sight in front of her.

"Oh my gosh!" she yelled. "There's been an animal of some sort in here."

When JJ heard Penelope and Derek returning, she'd hurried off to the top of the hill. She had invaded their snack stash while Reid was playing with the kids.

Why had Penelope brought along so much food? It was like she and Derek had planned on starving out in the woods. They had brownies, cookies, and skittles. It was like a candy store in a knapsack.

They didn't seem like the type to bring along so much junk food. Penelope usually swore off sugary foods because they made her face break out. Derek simply worked to keep his figure.

JJ had just been so hungry after their lake adventure. She'd been craving sweets since her nausea subsided, and Penelope had just packed so many snacks.

Maybe they wouldn't notice some of their food was gone.

Trout honestly didn't seem that appetizing to her. It made her feel sick to her stomach just imagining the trout being cooked. This food stash was much better. Besides, JJ didn't want to get nauseous again.

She was eating through her handful of M&M's when she heard Penelope heading back to her tent. Oh no, JJ thought. She's going to realize all her food is gone.

JJ hurried back down the hill, careful not to let the three of them see her. Then she slowly slipped the food bag back inside before Penelope reached the tent. Since she was turned around talking to Derek and Reid, she didn't notice the blonde practically throwing the bag inside and scurrying off to her own tent.

"Oh my gosh!" Penelope yelled. JJ could hear her yell from inside the tent on the other side of the campsite. "There's been some type of animal in here."

I'm home free, JJ thought, doing a little dance from her perch in the middle of the tent. Then her eyes fell on another figure that was in the tent with her.

Or not, she thought suddenly and said: "Fancy meeting you here."
