APOLOGIES-I can't figure out how to add breaks between my scenes. I will try and figure it out today. oh and Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Penelope's Apartment

As she, races around her new apartment searching for her essentials, she begins to freak out. Today is my first day of work and I did not anticipate spending it awake until 2 in the morning having mind-blowing sex. Handsome was exactly what the doctor ordered…and his staying power—her body tingles just thinking about it. I'm glad I didn't get his name because I can totally see myself stalking him for more and since I haven't had this kind of freedom in a while– I can't waste it … imagine if everyone fucks like Handsome—what have I been missing out on. His smile just lights up the room—and his body Ah –mazing – her grin becomes wider as she taps her lip. What was I looking for she wonders as she glances at her phone- shit it's 730 and I am still in my undies with my hair wet.

Penelope gives up on her FBI first day outfit and just throws her hair in a loose topknot, light make up, and sensible shoes. What do people wear at the FBI anyway? She wonders. Black like Scully from the X-files? Do I have a long trench she thought? Which box is in?

At the BAU

"Good Morning, Ms. Garcia. I'm Erin Straus, I run the BAU Quantico. Have a seat."

She gestured towards the couch.

"I am excited to have you here."

Garcia smiles and Straus continues "We are going to place you with SSA Hotchner's team – Team A and you will support SSA Field's team – Team B. As they explained to you – you will have your own office and all of the gadgets you need."

"Great, so I'll be like Q from 007. Do I get to build tech gadgets too?" Garcia asked with a chuckle

"Who?"

"Nevermind, Erin—bad joke." She smiled.

"Ms. Strauss" Erin said to Penelope as Penelope's smile faded. I guess we aren't friends, huh?

"Sorry Ma'am"

"So, let me take you to team B"

Meeting with Team B

After lunch with Field's, who is super hot in a Clive Owen kinda way, he leads her to Hotchner's office.

Bullpen

"Who is that in Hotch's office?" JJ asks.

"No idea" Emily replied

"I wonder if she is the new communications liaison I'm training for my maternity leave."

"You are only 4 months—I'm sure they will bring someone in when it is closer to you due date- I mean I can't even tell you are pregnant." Reid sputters out.

"Aww, thank Reid, you know how to make a girl feel good. They don't get how hard the job is – I need to train someone like yesterday"

Hotch's Office

"I'm Aaron Hotchner. Nice to meet you Penelope Garcia."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Hotchner" She says as she sits across from him.

"Please call me Aaron or Hotch."

"Will do."

"So, I see you're assigned to us from the NSA because of your skills as a hacker."

"Yes, well actually – this is my prison sentence for being a good hacker – 2 years in the FBI helping you catch criminals ...maybe, it's for being a bad hacker since I was caught and all ... But I never considered myself a hacker.. More like a computer professional "

"I think you should approach this job with an open mind – I used to be a defense lawyer. You might like working for the other side."

"Of course.. Of course" she said too enthusiastically – as if she was convincing herself as well as Hotch.

He noticed and looked up slightly

"Yes, I might" she tried to say more convincingly"

"Well, let me introduce you to the team – have a seat here in the conference room and I will get them."

Instead of sitting, she heads towards the window. I guess this is better than prison. I miss California - sunshine and taco trucks. I had a good life – almost wonderful, no perfect. Everything was moving in the right direction until the conductor asked me to get off the train. My family tried to help me but like my mother used to say—Some things you have to learn the hard way ….. and I am. It's only for 2 years and then I can leave or so they say. I just have to perk up, be on my best behavior.. Sweet P has to be flawless. I can't-.

Her pep talk is interrupted by Hotch. "Penelope Garcia, please meet the team"

"David Rossi, Emily Prentiss, Jennifer Jareau, Derek Morgan, and Dr. Spencer Reid—Team this is our new Technical Analyst."

She scans the team and sees Handsome towards the end of her receiving line. She catches his eye briefly and smiles. Don't blush Sweet P - don't blush. Awkward is an understatement she thinks as she shakes Jennifer's hand. Now she is shaking Derek's hand and his eyes twinkle with an unspoken challenge.

New Rule: what worked in college doesn't work in real life.

She blinks and blushes as she shakes Reid's hand—

"Nice to meet you Dr. Reid? What do you have your doctorate in?"

"Mathematics, Chemistry and Engineering."

"Impressive ... Robotics from USC. My focus was AI."

"AI research is highly technical and specialized, deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines"

"Yes, I was really into two popular approaches, which include statistical methods and computational intelligence. What can I say USC did not want to fund me creating a BB- bosom buddy."

Reid looked at her weirdly

"I am kidding Spencer, can I call you Spencer?"

"Certainly"

Emily whispered to JJ "She speaks Reid"
