Here's the next one. Thanks again for the reviews! And again, if anyone has any ideas they would want to see happen, just let me know!
Dani woke up groggily and struggled to lift her head from the drooled on pillow. She could hear her cell phone loudly interrupting her sleep and she looked at her bedside clock to see that it was 9:02am.
Groaning loudly, Dani rolled to her side and reached for the cell phone that was angrily vibrating and ringing at the same time from her night stand. She tried to adjust her bleary eyes to examine the caller ID on the front screen.
**SPENCER REID CALLING**
Dani frowned in confusion at the phone, but flipped it open and brought it to her ear as she laid back down on her pillow.
"Hello?" She mumbled, her own voice surprising at how rough and groggy it sounded. She blamed it on last night, too much yelling, too much bar hopping, too much drinking.
"It's MEEEEE!" A voice shouted from the other line, cracking a little in the middle.
"Spencer...?" Dani asked in confusion as she looked at the clock again to see the time. Yup... 9am... That would make it... Umm.. What time over there...? Dani struggled to do the math, but her head pounded too much to think.
"Yeah! It's Spencer, sorry." She heard a lot of background noises, people talking loudly and the faint beat of music.
Dani laughed softly, "You don't have to apologize. Where in the hell are you?"
"The bar! I told you I was going out. It's my biiiirthdayyyy!!! Hey, it's OUR birthdays!" Dani chuckled to herself, Reid's voice was slurring and she could tell he had been drinking.
"Well, it's not mine anymore. Don't forget, you just woke me up to a brand new day... Thanks a lot..." Dani grumbled as she re-covered her shivering body and sunk back down into her comfy bed.
"Aw. I'm sorry, I.. I forget we have different times... You want me to go...?" He apologized as his voice lowered slightly in shame. Dani laughed louder.
"No, Spencer. It's ok... I had to wake up soon anyways." Dani yawned and tried to listen more carefully to the background noise.
"Ohh ok then.. Then I'm not sorry! You can thank me later."
"Spencer, you're drunk aren't you?"
"Psh. NO. You don't know what you're talking about. I never drink." He brushed off, then suddenly Dani could hear him yelling at someone in the background.
"What? No I don't want to dance! I'm busy... Go away!" Dani snickered as she listened to him talking to someone on the other line.
"Are you modellelling today or something?" Spencer turned his attention back to his cell phone.
"Yeah.. I might be going to Italy sometime in the future! That would be amazing." Dani explained as she yawned. She doubted he would be remembering any of this in the morning.
"Ohhh man. You're so... Lucky. And you know, you're hot. You're hot you know that?" His slurring became worse as he lowered his voice even more, trying to be discreet with what he was saying, making Dani laugh again. "Hey, did... Did you know... Italy.. The Italy flag, it was inspired.. by the French flag that was introduced during.. During, uh, Napolean's invasion of the peninsula in 1797...?"
"Yo, Pretty Boy! It's time for a round of shots!" Dani could hear Morgan's voice boom from the other end before she could comprehend the drunken statistic Reid just fired at her. "What are you do- Who the hell are you talking to? It's drinking time, it better not be your mom, or I swear to God I'll..."
Dani heard Morgan's voice trail off with empty threats and she giggled at Reid's lack of response, then she suddenly heard shuffling on the phone.
"No, give it back!"
"You need to come inside."
"Ok! Ok, just... give me a minute!"
Dani frowned in confusion, but laughed inspite of it as she heard the two fighting over the phone. Suddenly Reid's voice came back on.
"Sorry, Morgan's being a... I gotta go, apparently I have to go shoot something?" Reid said, his voice full of confusion and alcohol. Then suddenly the line went dead.
Dani frowned at her cell phone as she flipped it shut, her mind trying to back track the conversation she just had. She smiled and shook her head as she slipped back under her covers, hoping to get a little more sleep before she had to get up.

D MORGAN: What are you doing all quiet over there?
SPENCER REID: Nothing. Just working.
D MORGAN: Uh huh... I don't believe you for a second. What are you doing, writing your girlfriend?
SPENCER REID: For the last time, she's not my girlfriend! We're just friends.
D MORGAN: Sure. Ok, then why is she hopping on the internet whenever she can to write you an email? She's travelling all over Europe, yet she still finds the time to write you. That seems to be a little extravagant for just friends...
SPENCER REID: Come on. She writes you and Emily too, not just me. Who says she's not a computer nerd?
D MORGAN: Yeah, the day I find a super model who is a computer nerd by night...
SPENCER REID: There's Garcia. You're always telling her how beautiful SHE is...
D MORGAN: ...
D MORGAN: Ok, in fear that my own balls would get ripped off if I said any different, You have a point there.

Ma chère soeur Sophie,
Happy Graduation!
I can't believe you're going off to college, when did you grow up so fast?!
I'm so proud of you and I know you'll do well.
Don't forget to write me everything. I mean EVERYTHING.
Aunt Heléne and I will miss you so much!
Take care sis,
-Dani

Subject: She's gone!
Dear Spencer,
Well, my baby sister is gone to college. I can't believe it! I know I should be jumping up for joy that she's out of my hair, but it was actually really nice being able to spend time with her again (living under the same roof!). She's a lot better to spend time with now that she's older, opposed to her being this annoying little 9 year old, while I'm trying to be cool in high school. *Sigh* Where does the time go??
She's going to college in California. Can you believe that? She flew over there with her packed suitcases and is all dormed in. I have no idea what struck her to go to college all the way in the states, except for the fact that one of her best friends' family moved there last year. I think she's sharing a dorm with her, so that's good. At least I know she's in good hands and not wandering around with strangers! A girl's gotta look after her little sis, even if they're in seperate countries!
I'm going to miss her a lot, especially now that I have a week off from shooting. Speaking of which, I'm going out with my friends tonight and they just rang up so I have to go.
Take care,
D
P.S. Do you remember when you were out for your birthday? Well, I should say, do you remember ANYTHING from your birthday? How drunk were you when you called me???

SPENCER REID: What? Who? Emily, tell me.
EMILY PRENTISS: Oh, I don't know... Dani DID mention something in one of her emails...
SPENCER REID: You know it was Dani? What did she say?
EMILY PRENTISS: Oh, I don't know. Something about you calling her and waking her up...
SPENCER REID: What? Did I really? Did she say anything else? What was I talking about? I didn't say anything embarrassing, did I?
EMILY PRENTISS: lol calm down Reid. And that's for me to know! You should have paced your liquor better.

EMILY PRENTISS: Sorry smarty pants. Not my fault you don't remember! :P
