I DO have a plan, and I DO know when Spencer and Derek are gunna get together… but it'll be a little bit, sorry guys. Love you all and hope you bear with me until it happens.

"Well… you family seems…" Derek started.
"Glad you're here with us… all I'm gunna say." Garcia sighed.
"I like your dad." Prentiss shrugged, leading the way back to the room they had set up.
"You should, he's really nice." "Puck" said, cracking his neck in a way that looked a bit odd because it seemed so masculine.
"But I thought it was normally dads who shun their kids for being homosexual." Jennifer said, truly confused.
"Yea, normally, but also, ya know how families balance themselves out? Well, I'm exuberant, my mom, while being a collection of every bad word ever created in every language on the face of the planet, is high maintenance as well, so is my sister, and so is my brother… so my father has to compensate for all of us by being so calm, sometimes you might mistake it for him being stoned. Honestly, if it was up to him, Starbucks would be invited to Thanksgiving dinner. My dad only does what my mother shouts at him to do." The teen shrugged, plopping into a seat.
"Why didn't he stick up for you if he doesn't care?" Emily asked, taking the seat right next to him.
"He loves me, I know he loves me with all my heart… but if he took my side… my mother would take Desmond and Tiffany with her and leave him… being alone with my mother is a fate worse than death."
Everyone wanted to laugh at that… but they all knew not to, so their leader changed the subject.
"Reid, have you finished the geometric profile?"

"You really want to piss off your parents if they happen to come back to the precinct, don't 'cha?" Doctor Reid asked as he looked at what his cousin was wearing.
The teen with Mormon family was in a blue and black corseted dress with tutu, blue tights, black boots, blue and black arm warmers with plenty of lace. All of that was pretty verbatim to what he normally wore, even though it would most likely make his mother make that strangled sound again. But the icing on the cake was his blue and black choker with a pentagram hanging off of it and a long dangling necklace that had a blue cross on the end of it.
"Hey, gotta give them a reason for calling me a queer all the time." "Puck" gave a small shrug and a sigh as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"Well, I think you look perfect. Now, can we please go? Everyone's probably waiting for us."
"Alright, lead the way darling doctor." The teen chuckled.
The doctor did so, he lead the way out of the hotel room and down the hall.
"So hey, I was thinking… how do you feel about going back to school?" Doctor Reid asked as they waited for the elevator.
"Um, haven't really given it much thought. Why?"
"Well… I was just thinking… there, um, there are some really good schools around where we live and even though you're super smart, a high school diploma would be good to have."
"Seriously? I can have articulate conversations with people whose IQ's are all over one sixty; high school seems a little pedestrian hun." The younger Spencer rolled his eyes, walking into the elevator as soon as the doors opened.
"I know you're smart, but getting a diploma would be good for you. Plus it would help with you being bored all the time."
"Or we could just get a pet."
"There's barely enough room in the apartment for both of our books, let alone enough space for whatever animal we choose."
"Fish do not even take up that much room."
"… You hate fish." The doctor looked utterly confused. "Honestly, you say they're more boring than an abstinence lecture. You'd only want the neon ones because they're rave-tastic."
"Sometimes I really wish you would stop remembering what I said." The younger Reid sighed, crossing his arms.
"Not gunna happen anytime soon, now, back to what we were talking about." The doc said, pointing out that his cousin had tried distracting him. "School, there are some really nice ones around us."
"I will most likely just annoy the teachers like I did at my last school."
"You'll educate them, that's what I did when I was in high school."
"Then I'll be labeled as 'that one annoying kid' once again."
"It'll also be good for you to meet some new people your own age. How are you gunna find the love of your life if you only hang out with thirty something year old people and twenty years olds in clubs?"
"Whoa, I'm only almost seventeen, who says I'm looking for love?"
The look Doctor Reid gave his cousin as the doors of the elevator opened to reveal the lobby was a look of pure sass. The prostitute just rolled his eyes and led the way out of the metal box.
"Hey guys." Emily smiled, getting up from the seat she was sitting in.
"Well hello Gorgeous!" The teen smiled, happily leaving his cousin quickly to hug the brunette female.
The adult male just rolled his eyes and followed the duo as they headed out of the building.

"Puck" had rushed from the car (where he spent the entire car ride engaging Emily so his cousin didn't even have a chance to try bringing the subject up again) to the precinct where his lovely techie bestie was sitting surrounded by a mixture of her computers and the polices.
"Hey Casanova, love the outfit."
"Thank you, thank you very much. It'll help if my family tries to come back."
"Pentagram and sideways crossed… I definitely see how that could make them not want to still be there." The red haired woman gave a small smile.
There was something in her smile however that made her bestie stop and look more into it.
"You're sad." He finally said, taking the seat to her left.
"No I'm just… it just sucks. You're amazing, and your family hates you because of something that is so fundamentally apart of you that you can't change? That's messed up. They should love you, they should embrace you… they shouldn't treat you like you're a parasite…" Penelope ranted slightly, looking up only when she neared the end.
"Calm down Beautiful. I'm used to it, it's fine. They're not a part of my life anymore…and that's fine. Wanna know why that's fine? Because if I had stayed, I never would have met you, or Stunning, or Gorgeous, or Cute Guy That Doesn't Smile, or Author Dude, and I never would have been able to spend time with Spencer. I love him so much… and I never would have been able to have a best friend if my family had accepted me."
"It sounds like you're just justifying what they did."
"Not at all. The love of my life, Cameron," He sounded like he was working through the tears that threatened to spill out at the name. "Yes, if I had stayed here, he would still be alive. But I would have never met him. I love him, to this day, no matter who else I love… He was my first love and he will always have a part of my heart. You, I love you so much, you are my best friend. You're like the slightly older female version of me… I never would have met you. Doctor Spencer Reid, lovely genius that needs someone to push him… I never would have gotten a chance to meet him either. You guys wouldn't know that he liked boys and he wouldn't have some out of his shell."
The adult female looked at him with a slight smile.
"You think about this a lot… don't you?" She smiled.
"Every day I think the possible deity that I got the chance."
The best friends smiled at each other for a moment, and then the woman went back to her screens. Someone tapped on "Puck"s shoulder and he turned around. He was faced with his cousin.
"Our conversation isn't finished." The doctor said in total seriousness.
"I should sin to think that you would let it go." The prostitute rolled his eyes, slumping into his seat even more.

So, I don't normally do this, and I know that so many chapters makes it a dash tedious to keep doing it, but would you guys please review?
Don't get me wrong, I love you guys not matter what, but it'd be good to be able to read what you guys like about the story or if you have any questions about what happened in the chapter so that I can see what you guys enjoy most, and clarify things that I hadn't realized were confusing.
Please and thank you. =)
