Monday came and Reid went to work as usual. He filled out paperwork as usual. He forgot to eat lunch, as usual, until Garcia barged in demanding that he eat lunch with her. Reid sat down with Garcia in her 'lair', although she usually didn't allow anyone to eat in there, she made an exception. This was important.

"I came up with this totally foolproof plan to get you and the chocolate god of thunder together," Garcia gushed.

"Um…look, Garc—", at her look of death, he cleared his throat and started over. "Look, PENNY, I don't think this is necessary. It's just going to happen. I'm just going to have to accept that."

"You listen to me, you stubborn brain dumpling. My plan is totally foolproof."

"Pen…"

"NO! YOU WILL NOT GIVE UP!" After taking a breath, she calmed down considerably. "Don't you have some quote about not giving up?"

"Nobody cleared a path for themselves by giving up. Alacia Bessette."

"My plan will clear that path for you. The chocolate god of thunder will fall for you or you will find someone else. Foolproof."

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. Douglas Adams."

"What are you trying to say, Penny Squared?"

"That I'm a complete fool when it comes to flirting and such."

"Well, Hon, Derek would be a complete fool NOT to fall for you."

Spencer smiled. "Thanks Pen."

"No problem kiddo. Now here's the plan. He already knows that you're gay. That was step one. Step two was to get you into some sexy clothes. I'll even show you how to make those sweater vests a bit more appealing. Not that they aren't appealing when coupled with your adorable face," Garcia added, seeing his face. "Now to the harder part. I think that he's into you. We just to have to make him realize that he is. To do this, you're going to have to make him jealous. So for step four, I'm going to set you up on a few blind dates," Spencer started to protest, but Garcia continued, "now the best thing about those dates is that if this Morgan situation doesn't work out and you really hit it off with one of them, you already have someone else to be interested in. While making him jealous, you have to make little hints at him. Be a little seductive. Flirt a little. Nothing too obvious but enough to make him wonder. Got that honey munchkin?"

"You promise you're going to help me throughout this whole process?" Garcia nodded. "And if, for whatever reason, I want to back out, you'll let me?" Garcia frowned but nodded. "No questions asked?"

"Now you know I can't promise that."

"It was worth a shot."

"Alright, now go back out there and work your sexy little butt off. Start working on our plan. I'll handle things from behind the scenes," she said, pushing Spencer out the door. "GO GET HIM TIGER!" She screamed. To Spencer, it seemed like a way to embarrass him. To Garcia, she had screamed that in the hope that Morgan would question him about it. Never one to fail his Baby Girl, Morgan questioned it.

"So who are you getting, tiger?" Morgan asked Spencer, teasingly when he returned to his desk, red-faced.

"N-wouldn't you like to know?" Spencer said, smirking and picking up a file.

"Come on, Pretty Boy, tell me. What does Baby Girl know that I don't?"

"My entire financial history?"

"Reid, come on…"

"She knows exactly what's in my closet."

"You're not going to tell me, are you?"

"I don't know. Am I?" Derek sighed and shook his head. "You know what…I'll tell you." At Derek's eager face, he added, "If you finish your files before me and take me out to dinner on Friday, as long as we don't have a case."

"Oh not fair!"

"I won't even give back the files you've already given me. And I'll keep the files Emily gave me too."

"Fine. You're on."

This is going to be fun. Spencer thought.

From her cameras, Garcia had witnessed the whole thing. Holy shit! She thought. Spencer can flirt!

She quickly sent him an email.

Garcia: Hey Penny Squared; I saw what you just did. Congrats. Operation fall of a God is a go.

Reid: Creeping thought the cameras are we?

Garcia: You know me too well, my dear.

Reid: So I'm doing well so far?

Garcia: Of course, my dear. If things keep moving at this pace, you'll be together in no time.

Reid: There's no guarantee.

Garcia: I am the All-Knowing-Techy-Goddess. This WILL work out.

Reid: If you say so…

"If you keep firing away emails like that, you're never going to get your files done," Derek interrupted.

"If you continue to watch my every move, you'll never get YOUR files done." Spencer said, while getting up for coffee. Since he was wearing a pair of jeans that "showed off his butt" it was guaranteed that Morgan was watching.

Spencer slowly filled his coffee cup and slowly made his way back to his desk. He read the files somewhere between his normal pace and that of a normal person. He read the files twice. He made SURE to make enough "coffee trips" so that he would finish last.

He finished last.

At the end of the work day, Morgan and Reid walked out together.

On the elevator…

"Looks like you're going to have to tell me your secret, Pretty Boy."

"Ah-ah-ah…you still have to take me out to dinner on Friday."

"How many files did Emily give you? You took FOREVER to finish today."

As Spencer made his way to his car, he said, "maybe I just wanted you to take me out to dinner."

Derek froze in the parking lot. Spencer didn't just…HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE! The little…
