"Derek will want to watch a game, so we need to have that on." Garcia told her bestie, writing it down in his Hello Kitty notebook.
"But Stunning will probably want to watch the parade, so we need to moderate between the two channels. Also, a bunch of family movies will be on, and Jack might want to watch those." "Puck" said, making a note next to what she had just written.
"And the needs of the kids are above the needs of everyone else."
"Obviously. Do Henry and Jack get along well?"
"I don't think they really interact too much, but I think they're civil."
"That's good. So, is only Gorgeous a maybe still? Everyone else said they'd be here, right?"
"Yup. Derek can't go out of town to visit his family because he used up most of his vacation days. After the New Year, he'll get more, but, until then, we get him for holidays. And everyone else was going to stay anyways. Prentiss just needs to see if her mom wants her there, she knows if she doesn't ask, her mom will come and lecture her."
"That sucks. But having the Knight for this holiday and next… That gives me ideas for Christmas." The youth smiled.
"Me too, we shall compare those alter. Now, onto food."
"Right. Does anyone have any allergies?"
"A few, but I don't think they'll really come up too much in the food that we'll make."
"Good. Ok, so, the usual, Turkey, Ham, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, stuffing, E.T.C.?" Young Spencer asked, writing it down as he said it.
"Yup. But everyone will probably want to bring at least one thing, so we should make sure we coordinate so we don't have three of the same thing."
"Make a note of it. Author Dude will probably bring pasta, at least from what I have been exposed to about him, that seems probable. So, let's just steer clear of that altogether."
"Good idea."
"How many baked goods should we have? I think Dessert should be just as important as the rest of the meal."
"It definitely should. What kind of cake should we have?"
"NO CAKE!" The youth shouted, standing up.
The techie looked at him with confused eyes.
"Why not?" She asked confused.
"Oh, here he goes." Doctor Reid said, not looking up from The Brothers Grimm book his cousin had given him for Halloween.
"Well, aside from it being a lie. It is SO over loved! On people's birthdays, they get cake. Cupcakes are given out at almost every event. Cake is treated like the most amazing thing, but it really isn't. Pie is amazing, yet it does not get nearly the amount of credit it needs. Plus! Cake has a trillion of its own holidays'. Thanksgiving is a pie's holiday!"
"Cease." The elder male said. "You'll just start repeating yourself if you continue."
The younger rolled his eyes but sat back down.
"So… no cake then." Garcia said, going back to the notebook.

The next day found all of them at the BAU. Doctor Reid was working, but his cousin and Garcia were in her lair, bored.
The glow of "Puck"s outfit had washed off, and both of them were bored.
He was wearing a red strapless dress with black mesh underneath and a black sash tied around the waist in a bow. A black flor de lue was on the dress, right above the breast bone. Black and red high heels adorned his feet; they had corseting over the top of them. A black cross ring that went over two of his fingers matched the black cross earrings he had in his ears. Black bangles were on his right wrist while a thick black leather cuff was on his left wrist. On the top of his right warm was a corseted choker that he had used because he couldn't make a choice between that one and the one around his neck. The one on his arm had a black rose on the front while the one on his neck had a black bow on it.
Garcia had brought her own clothes, so he hadn't used his skills to dress her up.
"Beautiful… I'm booooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooored." He whined from his spot sitting upside down in the chair that was now designated as his in her lair.
"I am so happy you always wear some kind of shorts under your dresses." His cousin commented, coming into the room with two cups of coffee in his hands.
One had a straw; he set that one on the ground in front of "Puck". The youth smiled and started drinking from the straw in the mug. The second cup of coffee came to the techie.
"As I was on my way here, Hotch told me to tell you guys to make sure to keep it down today. He just wants a calm, quiet day of paperwork. Especially after last night."
"Hey, no one forced him to take all those shots." The youth defended, pulling away from his straw for a brief moment.
"I know, just reminding you. I have to get back to work, be good you two." The doctor told them before leaving.
"Really though, Cute Guy That Doesn't Smile is the only one that should be blamed for his head ache." "Puck" huffed before going back to his coffee.
"Please don't choke Casanova." Garcia told him apprehensively, looking at the teen with eyes that showed how concerned she was.
"Don't worry, I like sitting upside down. My body has gotten used to doing lots of things upside down. You should see me juggle. "Young Spencer smiled at her.
The adult smiled, nodded, and got back to her work.

"On a scale of one to bored… I'm twelve." "Puck" groaned, still sitting upside down.
"Do something fun." Penelope chuckled, not looking up from the work she was doing on the computer.
"Everything fun I'm thinking of involves at least one of the following, music, money, momentum. I'm not allowed to do any of them because of Cute Guy That Doesn't Smile wanting silence."
"Then take a nap."
Young Spencer opened his mouth to shoot down the idea… when he realized that that was actually a viable option.
"I'll do that. Night!"
