A/N: Just a few more chapters and this one is done. But we aren't done yet.

It took him two full days and Penelope nearly going insane until he let her know a date for their date. Next week Saturday. A full week from today.

And whenever she kept asking about what he'd planned he just smirked and said 'You'll see soon enough'. Apparently not as soon as she would have wanted. by now she of course had fully given up on getting anywhere with her idea of pushing Morgan's buttons far enough for him to just loose it and throw caution to the wind, press her against the nearest surface and have his way with her. He seemed rather in control of himself, and didn't even flinch whenever she tried pushing further. Never in her life would Penelope Garcia have thought that Derek Morgan would pass up a chance for sex. And maybe he was bored, or this whole date was just a way of getting out of this without telling her. Maybe she wasn't entertaining enough anymore and he lost his interest. What was she thinking? This was Morgan after all, her best friend, the guy who told her everything. There were no secrets between them, well maybe one or two, but that wasn't relevant anyway.

The strange thing was that every time she went to Morgan, hoping to maybe get somewhere by just being close and maybe driving him insane with want, her sudden need for him to get into her pants died down. Not that it vanished, it just … wasn't as eminent any longer. And maybe that should have been the first clue that this wasn't any normal situation. But then again people who slept with their best friends usually were outside the norm to begin with.

On Thursday he finally gave her details. If you wanted to call them even details.

"I'll pick you up at 6," he let her know which was more than okay with her.

"Good, gives me enough time to get ready during the day," she only remarked at which he smiled softly for a moment.

"I actually meant a.m."

Penelope looked at him shocked for a moment. "Ex- um Excuse me?"

"I have something special planned," he went on. As if that was enough for an excuse.

"At 6 am?" she asked, seeing Morgan's smile. Oh great, he found that somewhat funny. "It is Saturday, Hot Stuff. One of two days off during the week for us. I didn't really plan on starting that first day before 10am."

Derek didn't even go into the argument. He just smiled at her, told her it would be great and she would see sooner or later, but right now, Penelope wasn't sure. Every day on a weekend she wasn't required to work that started before 10 was not good in her books, but she left room for being taught a lesson by him.

Sighing she accepted her fate and went on with life, thinking what on earth he could have planned that required for her to get up way before her usual time? But he wouldn't give her any sort of indication and clue as of what the date required or what he had planned. Every time she asked, he just smiled and told her that she would soon see.

Saturday eventually came around and by now she had to admit she had started getting excited, slightly. Not that she would tell him that. Ever. Getting up at something around 5 she got ready by taking a shower and having some coffee. Since she had no idea what Morgan had planned for them this would remain her only breakfast for now. She wasn't entirely sure what to wear since Morgan hadn't given her any details on what they were doing. The only thing she really could definitely cross of her list of possible date outfits was an evening dress. The only real thing they could be doing in such outfit was taking the clubs – for the last half hour or so before they closed. And she knew Morgan well enough to know that this most definitely was not his plan for today. So she settled for something a bit more comfortable. A flirty dress, some blazer and high heels. She hoped they wouldn't have to do too much walking, but just in case she packed a pack of rolled up flats in her purse. At least she was prepared.

At six sharp she heard a soft knock on her front door. Opening, she found confirmation that her outfit was picked rather wisely. Morgan was wearing a pair of dark washed jeans and a shirt, paired with a very soft looking, grey sweater. In his hands he held a bug bunch of flowers, a wild mix of a lot of reds and whites and green. It was probably the biggest bunch she ever had received from anyone, yet alone a date. And seeing that they technically had already gone the full ten yards made it even stranger.

"Ready to go?" he asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, just give me a second to get my stuff," Penelope answered, turning her back on him and walking back into her apartment, getting her purse from her bedroom.

"You want a coffee before we go?" she asked when returning.

Morgan just shook his head at her offer. "No, otherwise we will be late," he said, making her wonder what on earth they could be late. What could he have possibly planned for them?

Putting the flowers quickly into water, slipping into her heels she left her apartment with him in tow.

He helped into his car and she had to admit she was already been treated better than on any date she ever had been. But than again Derek Morgan was a guy who knew his way around women. This was no news to her and she shouldn't have been that surprised, but it was a nice change to other dates she usually had.

They drove for a little while and Penelope fell asleep during the ride, just not being able to keep her eyes open much longer. 5 am after all just wasn't her time and she had spent half of the night laying awake wondering about today's date.

Half an hour after he picked her up, she felt soft nudges and whispers, waking her slowly up. The next thing she noticed, after his smiling face, was that they were in a rather dark building with bad lightning. He helped her out of the car and then slowly pulled her through the parking garage. Where on earth were they?

Penelope watched the signs they walked past every now and then, before coming close to a door and didn't stop wondering that this all somehow sounded and looked familiar. And just when she thought she'd figure it out, Morgan pulled her through a door, into the main building. Apparently they were at the airport and if the way he was walking with her towards the check-in areas was any indication they were about to board a plane. What the …?
