Next one up! Thanks to poisonlacecookies, Sue1313, and kimidragon for reviewing so far! Keep it up! (please!)

"We need to find Sharon Smith, she's a professor here…" Emily Prentiss mentioned as her and Reid pulled up to the large college parking lot. "Apparently she was the last one to see the last victim alive, she gave her a ride home after soccer practice."

Reid nodded along as Prentiss spoke and he shifted his messenger back uncomfortably as he stepped out of the SUV.

"Do you ever wonder how people get used to this hot weather? I feel like I'm melting…" Prentiss complained as she fanned herself with the file folder in her left hand. The California sun was beaming down on them as they walked across the large parking lot. Reid looked at her through the sunglasses he had on.

"Actually, after only a few days of experiencing such a drastic change in temperature, your body starts to get used to it. It all goes back to Darwin's theory of evolution, where going from one extreme to the other, your body will slowly adapt to the change and-" Reid stopped abruptly after noticing the look Prentiss was giving him. He cast his eyes to the ground and cleared his throat.

"I mean, yeah it's pretty hot this time of day…" He reworded and stared up at the sky, making Prentiss smile and shake her head.

They reached the main entrance to the college, most of the classes were just letting out for the day. Prentiss reached for the handle, but Reid stopped her before she could open it all the way.

"Just a sec…" He mumbled and craned his neck a little, trying to get a better look through the dispersing crowd.

"Reid, what are you doing?" Prentiss asked a little impatiently as he stood still with his back facing her.

"Emily, is that… It looks like…" Reid stammered, not really sure if he was seeing things or not. Prentiss let go of the door and stepped around Reid to see where he was looking. After a few seconds of scanning the crowd, she seen a younger woman with long, dark brown hair. She could only see the profile view of her, but Emily frowned in confusion as she looked back at Reid.

"Is that Dani?" She questioned out loud. Without answering, Reid looked at her in confusion and started off towards the girl, Prentiss quickly following behind.

"Hey! Dani…? Dani!" Reid shouted as they got closer to the girl who was in conversation with another woman roughly the same age. She obviously didn't hear Reid calling her because she didn't turn to face them.

"Dani??" Reid said again once he reached them and gently touched the girl's shoulder, making her spin around.

"Excuse me?" She replied and her eyebrows knitted together in confusion at the couple. Her friend waved suddenly, mentioning some meeting she had to get to and briskly walked off.

"You're.. Not Dani, are you?" Prentiss realized after seeing the girl's face. She shook her head in answer, but shifted her gaze continuously between the two.

"I'm Sophie… Do you guys know my sister or something?" She replied as Prentiss brought her hand up to her forehead after the realization sunk in.

"Oh! Sophie, you're Dani's sister. Geez, you two sure look an awful lot alike…" Prentiss laughed and held out her hand. "I'm Emily Prentiss, I-"

"You helped my sister in Seattle…" Sophie interrupted and broke into a smile as she shook Prentiss' hand gently. "She's told me a lot about you."

Suddenly her eyes shifted to the lanky man beside Emily and she eyed him carefully, making him shift uncomfortably under her stare.

"And you are…?" She drawled, wondering why he wasn't introducing himself like Emily. He smiled awkwardly and shook his head as if coming out of a daze.

"Sorry, I'm uh… Reid. Spencer Reid… Emily and I, we work with the Behavioural Analysis Unit at the FBI?" Reid stammered a bit nervously, receiving a skeptical nod from the mini version of Dani Lereux.

"YOU'RE Spencer Reid?" Sophie exclaimed suddenly and laughed. "Sorry, I heard a lot about you too. You're different than I pictured…" She continued studying him before Emily spoke up.

"How's your sister doing? She mentioned you were going to college in California, I just didn't know it was this one. Are you enjoying it so far?" Prentiss asked and Dani switched her attention to the beautiful brunette and began having conversation with her as Reid watched on, a baffling expression remaining on his face.

SOPHIE: So I totally met your States friends the other day.

DANI: My what?

SOPHIE: You know, those people who helped you back in Seattle? I met 2 of them the other day. They were in town for some case they were called in on I guess.

DANI: Really? That's crazy, who did you meet? How did you know it was them?

SOPHIE: Well I was just outside talking with Jen, and suddenly these 2 people come running up to me and asking if I was you. Lol it was pretty funny, I was SO confused at first… Then I said I was Sophie and it dawned on them that I was your sister. Apparently we look alike.

DANI: Apparently…

SOPHIE: Anyways, so yeah. It was Emily and Spencer. Emily seems pretty cool, that Spencer guy is kind of weird though…

DANI: What? Shut up, no he isn't.

SOPHIE: Oh come on, you don't think he's a little… Awkward?

DANI: Well… Maybe at first. He gets all flustered and nervous a lot. But it's cute.

SOPHIE: Cute, eh? So are you like, all in love with this guy or what?

DANI: lol! In love with him? Yeah right, we're just friends. Ever since Seattle, we talk a lot back and forth. I keep in touch with Emily too.

SOPHIE: Uh huh… Well he sure did turn red when I told them the story about you when you were drunk on your birthday and started stripping on the street.

DANI: What? When did you tell him that?? Or why, I should ask…

SOPHIE: lol I don't know. After their case was over, they had a few hours to waste before going back home, so I went out for coffee with them. We just started talking and I was sharing stories.

DANI: God… I was so drunk that night. You didn't tell them anything else did you?

SOPHIE: Well, besides the fact that you kept complaining about how hot it was in the taxi and when you started stripping AGAIN in the back, the cab driver caught look and nearly drove us into that building.

DANI: Oh god. I'm never drinking that much again. Just keep reminding me over and over, who needs AA when I have horrendous stories like that to make me never drink again.

SOPHIE: lol it was fun though. But yeah, you're Spencer friend sure embarrasses easily. You should have seen his face. Emily and I were just laughing and he was all beet red and got all flustered. He started talking about the percentage of car accidents that include taxi cabs…?

DANI: haha Yeah that sounds like him. So how's college life treating ya?

SOPHIE: It's going good! I really like it so far, it's so great to be with Jen again, it's fun that we're in the same dorm room together. We spent the first week catching up on stuff.

SOPHIE: Ah, speak of the devil. She just got back, so I have to go. Studying awaits!

DANI: Ok, take care sis. Don't do anything I wouldn't do!

SOPHIE: Yeah, don't worry. I won't be stripping my clothes in any cabs any time soon…

DANI: You're an ass.

Well hello there D #2,

I just had to take a moment to write you to BRAG. I KNOW you were watching the game last night and I KNOW you saw us kick your ass in soccer (or football as us Europeans refer it to). You guys weren't getting anything past Landreau, he was unstoppable! And did you see that goal by Cissé?! Man it was such an amazing game. It's too bad USA couldn't step up to the power of France!

You owe me 20 bucks.

Ok girly, first of all, if anything I'M D#1. Case closed.

Second of all, we just played it easy on you guys. We know you're first few games are most definitely your weakest, so we took advantage of it and let you guys win to throw you off track. This way you'll be all high of your ass, thinking you can win the next time we play. When it matters! Then, BAM USA will kick your ass all the way to Norway!

Anyways, I gotta run. Take it easy girly. And you'll get your money next time I see you. How about that :P

D MORGAN: Hey baby girl, how's things going in that tiny little room of yours?

TECHIE GODDESS: Well, my delicious little chocolate muffin, you know as much as I do how slow this day has been.

D MORGAN: Yeah you got that right. So what have you been doing to keep yourself busy?

TECHIE GODDESS: Ahh You dirty little man, you know I can't resist hidden innuendoes like that. HOWEVER I have spent this slow day doing very important research.

D MORGAN: Research? What kind of research, there's no open cases right now…

TECHIE GODDESS: No there isn't, BUT there is a little something that is known as Operation: Français Amour.

D MORGAN: Oh no, not this again. Leave the kids alone!

TECHIE GODDESS: Come on, you know he needs our help.

D MORGAN: Ok, I agree with that. He is clueless when it comes to women…

TECHIE GODDESS: Exactly!

D MORGAN: So what are you getting yourself into now?

TECHIE GODDESS: Well, like I said I've been doing some research. You should see the emails going back and forth between these two. I do believe our little Reid is flirting as some times. Or at least trying to…

D MORGAN: You hacked into his emails? Garcia, isn't that like… Illegal??

TECHIE GODDESS: Well it's not like he'll ever know. And you'd better stay hush about it or I'll have to take care of you myself.

D MORGAN: I like the sounds of that!

TECHIE GODDESS: Well, sadly I wasn't talking about the way you're thinking of. So anyways, I went through some of the emails and I've come to a conclusion that isn't so bad. I'm just going to send an email to her pretending to be Reid and attach a cute little meaningful song to it. That's it.

D MORGAN: Then you PROMISE you'll stop interfering?

TECHIE GODDESS: Ok, I promise. Scout's Honor, this is the last mission I will take part in playing matchmaker for Operation: Français Amour.

D MORGAN: Thank god. Now, work's almost over, what do you say we go get some dinner?

TECHIE GODDESS: Ah, I thought you'd never ask. Meet you outside in 15.
