"Do we have everything?" "Puck" asked as he looked at large amount of food they had on the counter.
They had been so tired when they got back from shopping which had been at about two in the morning, that they just put away everything cold and crashed in the living room. When they had woken up they put everything in a line and were making sure they had everything required.
"I do believe so. Do we have all of the recipes printed out?"
"Almost all of them, the one for the turkey I still need to look at because it asks for far too much Rosemary."
"We done good kid." The techie smiled, happy with the amount of planning they had completed.
"Yup… tomorrow is going to be an adventure." He sighed, leaning against the counter.

Until about four in the afternoon, Garcia and the youngest Reid were cooking. They had sent the elder Reid to the store quite a few times because they needed more of things they didn't have enough of, but it had been a fun experience none the less.
Emily was the first one to arrive with a large container of stuffing. "Puck" asked her to take his place momentarily so he could go get dressed, she obviously said yes and quickly did as Garcia told her to.
Only about ten minutes after that happened, the teen came out of the room decked in Ouran High School Host Club garb.
A pair of pink kitty ears were on a headband on his head, it matched a pink and purple tail that was attached to the back of his black jeans. A black shirt that said "Join The Black Magic Club" fit comfortably on his torso; it had buttons with all of the club members on them all over the fabric. A pendant of the schools logo was on a black cord around his neck, it matched the brown wrist warmer on his wrist that also had the logo on it. On his other wrist was a white wrist warmer that had Beelzenef's face on it. To top it all off, Tamaki's slippers were on his feet.
"Don't understand the reference, but love the outfit." Prentiss smiled as they both beheld him.
The elder genius was out getting more things they needed.
"Thank you, everything's almost ready, Starbucks is getting the rolls and alcohol while we speak and everyone else is bringing stuff when they get here. I'd say we're on track." The teen smiled, walking back into the kitchen.
"We got this." Penelope smiled, very happy with her involvement in the mountain of food all over the kitchen.

"Grab the salad please." "Puck" said to Jennifer as he brought the fruit salad and stuffing out to the table.
Everyone knew that they weren't actually going to be eating at the table, so they merely used it as the serving table. Everyone but Anderson had arrived and they were all helping to put the food on the table and get everything ready to be served.
"Sure thing Puck." The liaison smiled, quickly going to do as was asked of her.
"Do we want candles?" The elder Reid asked, moving the mashed potatoes that Derek had just set down to another place.
"If we have room, if not, don't sweat it." His cousin said, setting the containers down on the table.
"I don't think we're going to have room." Aaron told them, pouring some wine into a few glasses.
"It'll be fine." The teen shrugged, taking a step back to look at the table filled with food.
He smiled at it, never having had this kind of love running around during the holidays. Then there was a knock on the door.
"That should be him, everyone be nice." "Puck" insisted, pointing at all of them while he moved to the door.
Everyone looked at each other with smiles on their faces, knowing that this was going to be an interesting day. "Puck" opened up the door and smiled huge.
Anderson was standing there with about five trays covered in tin foil.
"My moms didn't know what I was supposed to bring, so they each made two things even though I already had made jello… sorry they're all desserts." The blonde boy apologized.
"It's fine." The elder teen smiled, taking three of the trays. "Desserts are everyone's best friend."
The younger Spencer tilted his head, indicating that Anderson should follow him into the kitchen. The goth laughed and followed the other teen, kicking the door closed with his foot. Both of them set the food down and turned to the adults in the room.
"Everyone, this is Anderson Richards. Anderson this is Emily Prentiss, I call her Gorgeous. Jennifer Jareau I call her Stunning, you've already met my cousin Spencer whom I call Starbucks, Penelope Garcia I call her Beautiful, David Rossi I call him Author Dude, Aaron Hotchner I call him Cute Guy That Doesn't Smile, and Derek Morgan." "Puck" introduced.
"What do you call him?" The goth asked.
The younger Reid and Morgan looked at each other, both going serious.
"I don't have one for him." The elder teen shrugged before turning back to his date.
"Oh, well then. It's very nice to meet all of you." Anderson smiled at them, giving a small wave.
"Hello." All of them smiled back.
"Well, everything's done so… everyone grab a plate and dish up." Doctor Reid smiled.

"That was so amazing; you guys are awesome at cooking." Anderson smiled as he leaned against "Puck".
Because of the limited seating they had to kind of Tetris it. Rossi and Hotch were on the loveseat. Garcia, Prentiss and J.J. sat on the couch, which got the Reid's, the Richards, and Morgan sitting on the floor.
"Why thank you." Penelope smiled at him.
They had all spoken quite a bit while they were eating, the Macy's Day Parade playing on the T.V. in the background. They had all gotten to know Anderson quite well in the almost two hours that they had been eating, and none of them could find any faults with him.
"Your desserts were perfect." Emily complimented, smiling while rubbing her belly lazily.
"Thank you, my moms are amazing cooks."
"Tell me more about your moms." Jennifer smiled at him, leaning forward slightly.
"Um, well my bio-mom is Alex and she is a lawyer. My other mom Angela is a stay at home mom, but she is a very crafty person, so she creates things and sells them at craft stores and online. She also does quite a few commissions for anime related things within my circle of online friends, if you wish to call them that. There is a significantly higher rate of money to be made within cosplay circles." The blonde boy smiled at her.
The younger Spencer smiled proudly at the facts his date had just spouted. Everyone looked at each other with small smiles at him being able to tell them that with upmost confidence.
"That's really cool, what kind of cosplay things does she make?" The liaison asked.
"Well most commonly people ask for wig styling's, but props and entire costumes have been asked of her as well."
"That's really cool." Jennifer smiled before turning to compliment David on the pasta he had cooked.
"Your guys' apartment is amazing." Anderson smiled at "Puck".
"Thank you, do you want a tour?" The elder teen asked.
"That'd be really cool, but this doesn't get you out of giving me a tour when you and Spencer get an actual house."
"Of course not, I'll give you a tour of anything you please." The youngest Reid smiled standing up.
He held his hand out, offering it to his date. He helped the younger teen up.
"I'm gunna show him around." The younger genius said, looking at everyone for a second before he turned and guided Anderson down the hall.

"Are these Spencer's?" The blonde boy asked, looking at the colourful clothes in the closet.
"No, almost all of his clothes got moved to the dresser when I came to live with him, those are almost all mine."
"But prostitution is normally a transient life, how did you have room for all of these before you moved in?"
"I have many friends and we share. I was able to keep clothes at many of their houses and when I found a home, they all quickly sent them to me."
"Wow… I have never seen this on you." The goth smiled, pulling a black mesh skirt up slightly so it could be seen.
"Yea… about that." The young genius said nervously. "I actually haven't been wearing the kind of stuff I normally wear. It's been mostly toned down since we've been seeing each other."
"Why?" Anderson asked confused, letting go of the skirt.
"I was scared… I thought that if you saw the things I usually wore, which is a lot of dresses and things that expose skin, that it would freak you out and you would leave."
"Why would you think that?" The blonde asked, walking up and putting his arms around the elder's neck.
"Because everyone always does." The brunet shrugged, sad smile on his lips as he wrapped his arms around his date's waist.
"Well I won't. And I hope I get to see you in some of these."
"Oh trust me," "Puck" smiled. "Starting Monday… you'll see a whole bunch of new and exciting clothes."
"I had better." The younger teen smiled.
Then he connected their lips, pulling the elder into the closet. Spencer smiled and kisses back, trying to find a wall to push his date against. He kind of had a thing for making out and walls. The goth didn't seem to mind and even steered them so they went through some of the hanging clothes so that he could be pushed against the wall. The both smiled even more as they made out under the cover of skimpy clothing.

Link to outfit on my profile, and let me know what you all think. =)
Also, I love reviews. I love them so much; I have different folders to put them into so I can re-read them. They make me smile and really make my day (Well, almost all of them, the ones that just say "update more" are not really smile inducing.. sorry) So any reviews you leave make my day and make me love you all even more. =)
