I don't own Criminal Minds or any of their characters.
After JJ and Will took Pete home, they drove back to their house, asking Spencer about his day at Sunday school.
"Did you like it?" JJ asked, turning in her seat to look at the boy.
"It was alright," Spencer said, looking down at his hands. JJ knew he was hiding something.
"Spence? What's wrong?" JJ asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing. I just..." Spencer looked up at JJ and smiled a small smile, "There was this kid in class, and he was making fun of my glasses."
"Oh, Spence... Why didn't you tell me?" JJ asked sympathetically.
"Oh no! It's not a bad thing at all! I gave him a piece of my mind!" Spencer said happily, beaming.
"What did you do?" JJ asked, slightly nervous.
"Nothing bad. I just told him to leave me alone..." Spencer trailed off and muttered quietly to himself, "In my own way."
"Well, alright. As long as you didn't hit him or anything too bad," JJ smiled before turning back to the road as they pulled into the driveway.
Spencer looked out the window and noticed several cars in the driveway. He furrowed his dark eyebrows curiously before looking at JJ, "Who's here?"
"You'll see," JJ smiled, getting out of the car, "Come on."
The family got out of the car and walked into the home. Spencer heard voices in the kitchen and went to go investigate when he saw his friends standing there. Rossi, Hotch, Garcia, Prentiss, and Morgan.
"Hey guys!" Spencer cried as they all looked down at him. Rossi was the only one who hadn't seen him yet. He hadn't been able to go on the last case because he had fallen ill and had to stay home.
"Wow, look at you," He smiled, looking the boy up and town, "Were you ever short?"
"I'm not that tall," Spencer smiled, rolling his eyes, "I'm only five foot."
"That's pretty tall for an eleven year old," Rossi smiled before Spencer wrapped his arms around the man tightly.
"I'm so glad you're better," The boy smiled before pulling away from Rossi.
"Hey kid," Morgan smiled, grabbing Spencer's shoulder and shaking him, "How you doing?"
"Good. I made a few friends today," Spencer was bursting with excitement tonight, it made JJ so happy.
"Come on Pete, keep up!" Spencer yelled over his shoulder at his friend as he tugged a red wagon with spray paint and wooden boards in it. They were planning on making a sled to go down the hill in the park on. They were headed back to Ivan's place now, he had screws.
"I'm trying to keep up, Spence, I'm just too damn short!" Pete complained and Spencer rolled his eyes.
"What? You want me to carry you, miss?" Spencer mocked in a posh voice.
"Shut yer trap!" Pete called back, making Spencer burst out into a fit of laughter.
Spencer and Pete continued down the road, looking at the houses as they passed by. Spencer stopped though when he heard a loud clang. He turned towards a house with a large picket fence surrounding the back yard. Spencer smiled and soon realized who lived here. Mandy Parkinson. She was the prettiest girl at church, everyone loved her. The minute a boy laid eyes on her, they struck by cupid's arrow.
"Hey Pete, come here," Spencer ordered as he pulled the wagon into the front yard and was followed by Pete the yard gate, but was sorely disappointed to find it locked, "Damn, it's locked."
"Well, guess we'll have to figure something else out," Pete smiled when he saw wooden crates to the side. They could stack those and peer over the fence, "Look Spence!"
"Great idea, Pete!" Spencer grabbed the crates and helped Peter stack them. He had to give Peter and extra one since he was so short. Spencer peered over the fence along with Pete and saw Mandy sitting in the hot tub in a bikini.
"What is she doing in the hot tub in December?" Peter asked curiously as he watched Mandy's every move.
"I don't know and I don't care," Spencer said as he looked at the girl in awe. She was way to old for him, but it didn't hurt to watch her did it?
"Hey! What are you two creeps doing?!" Mandy suddenly yelled when she turned her head and caught them out the corner of her eye. Spencer widened his eyes and smacked Peter on the arm.
"Run. Run!" Spencer cried as he and Peter jumped down and ran towards their wagon.
"Hey! Get back here!" Mandy cried as Spencer grabbed the wagon and shoved Peter into it. There was no way they'd outrun Mandy if Peter ran. After they sped around the corner and hid behind a shed, Spencer started laughing.
"What are you laughing at, we could of gotten in serious trouble back there! Her dad is a very strict man! He's the principal at the school, he still uses canes and paddles!" Peter cried, "If he caught us, he'd have it out for us at school. Oh God, I hope Mandy didn't recognize us."
"Don't worry, Pete. We're fine," Spencer smiled as he patted his friends shoulder and stood, grabbing the wagon and starting off towards the sidewalk again. Pete stood and followed.
Soon, they'd be to Ivan's house and they could build their sled. But Spencer couldn't get Mandy out of his mind. He was terrified that she recognized him and would tell JJ and Will. He'd be in so much trouble. He decided to brush it off and continue onwards to his friends house.
Spencer, you naughty boy. Don't worry, he won't do that again. You'll find out why in the next chapter. Well, I'm sure you already know why. JJ and Will find out and he gets in SERIOUS TROUBLE. Till next time. :)
