People, I hope you like my story.
Be nice it's my first one.

Can't say anything about the rating, might be M for violence but I'm writing this as it comes to me.
Pairings if any are Hotch-Prentiss, Garcia-Kevin, JJ- LaMontagne JR

Here goes!!!
:unsure:

“Hello, you’ve reached my voicemail, please leave a message”
“Miss Crane, this is FBI Section Chief Director Erin Strauss. I have seen your application for an internship at the US Embassy in The Hague and I was wondering if you could call me back as soon as possible. I believe you know the number for the office in Quantico, just ask them to redirect you to me. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon”

Julie had just gotten home from a night out with her friends and was staring at the Rotterdam skyline. She still was amazed at the view she had from her apartment. She checked her voicemail and listened to the message 3 times.
She checked her watch and counted back the hours for the local time in Washington.
She called the FBI head office and talked to Chief director Strauss for about an hour.
After that she had to talk to him.
It would be early for him to be off but she had to take a chance.

“Rossi.”
“Dave? Are you still working cause I can call back later…”
“Julie? Sweetie I always have time for you. But yes I’m at work but we’re closing up so you’re not interrupting. Hang on a second we can talk in my office.”

Morgan looked at his senior agent and at Emily who had the same surprised look on her face as he had.
“You know what that’s about?”
“Nope.”
“Maybe Dave has a lover; I’ve never heard him use endearing words for anyone.”
“Derek if he does stay out of it, we all are allowed some happiness.”
“Sure, you wanna grab some dinner Em? You and Kevin game Garcia? Reid? ”
“Sorry, Kevin is taking me out on the town tonight, rain check?”
“I promised my mom I’d call sorry.”
“Ok your loss. Let’s go Em.”
“Bye guys”
“Bye.” Reid and Garcia replied.

Aaron was surprised to see Dave still in his office. Since the divorce he usually was the last to leave.
“You have a moment Aaron?”
“Sure”
“Do you remember Julie Crane?”
“Yeah, how is she, she must be what 25, now?”
“Close 28 and he had just received a call from Strauss.”
“About?”
“An internship.”
“Oh that’s right she studied Criminology in Rotterdam, She’s finished already?”
“Just about, but still a minimum of 300 hours as an intern to go. She applied for a job at the field office in The Hague.”
“And what does this have to do with Strauss?”
“Strauss wants her here.”
“Here as in Quantico?”
“Here as in at the BAU.”
“Why we only get interns at the office positions not in the field.”
“I know but Strauss seems to think she can do it.”
“Do you think she can?”
“She’s smart, has great grades and knows how to fire a gun better than most. She takes after her father.”
“That’s probably why Strauss wants her here. Andrew Crane was a great agent and his name is still known by most agents. But do you think she can handle it?”
“Yes! I think she can, but I would like her to stay out of the field as much as possible. She can learn from JJ when it becomes too dangerous in the field.”
“You know you aren’t allowed to train her officially.”
“Yeah I know but she can learn from all of us and as long as I don’t evaluate her it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Has she told Strauss yet?”
“No, she wanted my input first.”
“Smart girl!”
“As smart as they come.”
“Call her and tell her it’s ok by us. I’ll probably get a call from Strauss in a couple of days.”
“Yeah she never is one to ask us anything. She likes ordering everyone around.”
“We’ll just let her believe she has ordered us to take Julie.”
“Will do. Now how about diner, we spend too much time here anyway.”
“The fate of divorced men I suppose.”
“Julie would have dragged our sorry asses out of here hours ago.”
“Well that’s going to be fun then when she comes to work.”

Julie looked around Washington Dulles International Airport as she disembarked her United Airlines flight. It was mid August and a warm sunny day. So different from Rotterdam, where it was raining cats and dogs when she left.
She took out her sunglasses and walked inside the terminal to get her luggage.
She grabbed her pink suitcase from the belt and scanned the hall looking for the face of the man she held dearest in the world.

When David Rossi saw his godchild, a huge smile spread across his face.
Julie practically threw herself in his arms.
“Good to know you missed me!” Dave grinned at the redhead.
“You know I have, damm it’s been way too long.”
“I assume you haven’t found an apartment yet? Right, you’re staying with me until you’re ready to go house hunting.”
“Sure, I won’t be in your way.”
“Is that all your stuff?”
“Yep!” she replied; “the rest is still in Rotterdam and my friends are going to mail it to me.”
“Ok, you want to go and meet the team?”
A huge smile crept across Julie’s face;”You bet!”

“Ok let’s go over this one more time, there’s Aaron whom I already met, you, the genius boy Dr. Spencer Reid, the dark haired Emily Prentiss, Mr. hotshot Derek Morgan, your computer wiz Penelope Garcia and the blond Jennifer Jareau.”

“You memorized it?”
“I had nothing else to do on the flight, the movie sucked.”

Julie was introduced to the team and Dave noticed the jetlag starting to kick in.
Hotch smiled at his friend and nodded at the redhead who was trying her best to listen to Reid’s endless list of facts. Dave smiled, the young man was obviously nervous around the new girl and started rambling on and on.
“Jools I’m going to take you home, you need to adjust to DC time.”
For once Julie didn’t argue with him and said goodbye.

The next weeks Julie slowly got the hang of things around the BAU.
They were called out on a couple of cases but she was bound to the offices of the local law enforcement, as was JJ.
The two got along rather well.
Garcia had found someone to debate with about computer games and Emily had quickly become Julie’s mentor.
Reid was less nervous and they actually had a natural way of understanding each other without talking.
Morgan was his normal flirting self and even Hotch occasionally smiled at the interactions happening in his team.

As for Rossi, things were good. He liked having Julie around and the late night stays at the office had been reduced to a strict minimum for both him and Hotch.
Julie was as Rossi had predicted a perfect way to get them out of their offices.
That girl would get things done her way when she had set her mind to it.

Sooooo?
What do you think so far?
The actuall case is beginning to take shape in my head but as the title said it needs to be winter.

I’m not into all the MMORPG games, I only know World of Warcraft so I made Garcia play this one.
Don’t shoot me if she doesn’t. ;)

“Oh come one Julie, it will be fun.” Garcia grinned at the sight of Julie in her Halloween costume.
“I am not wearing this!”
“You so are!” Emily joined the girls banter.
The girls had decided to work on what to wear to the FBI Halloween party together.
J.J. was giggling, she wasn’t going to the party this year because she knew it would be too exhausting for her and the baby, but she loved the fact the others had included her in the pre party joy.

Julie looked in the mirror and mentally added the make up that this outfit would require. Actually it wasn’t that bad and what the heck Garcia and Emily would be dressed in the same theme.
“Ok, I give in.” she sighed.
“Come on you might even grab Spencer’s attention.” Emily said.
“Or Morgan’s.” Garcia added.
“Now why would I want that? Besides Spencer is my best friend but not my type sorry.”
“What is your type than?” J.J. asked her
“I’m not telling you girls, you’d probably go hunting for the guy or something.”
“Would we do that?” Garcia smiled with her most innocent smile.
“Yes.” Julie replied, “I’m going to change back to my normal self now ok?”
She got back in Emily’s bathroom and changed back to her regular clothes.
“At least she didn’t deny Morgan is her type.” J.J. smiled.

The girls had been trying to find out what Julia thought of their handsome colleague ever since Garcia had caught Morgan looking at Julie on the first case she was out in the field.
She had grilled him about it but he denied everything, telling her that it wasn’t humanly possible to be attracted to someone so headstrong and quick with words.
And it was true Morgan and Julie had argued about almost anything that didn’t have to do with work since they met.
On the job Julie listened intensely to every member of the team.

Halloween came sooner then they all expected. The girls were back at Emily’s apartment and they were fixing the last details of their outfits.
“I wonder if Hotch is going to wear a costume this year” Emily said.
All the other years Haley had convinced Hotch that he was the unit’s chief so he had kept some distance by not dressing up.
“Now that Haley is out of the picture maybe he will.” Garcia replied.
“Oh I know he will.” Julie grinned, “Dave will only come dressed up if Hotch does and if Dave doesn’t show up he’s going to be in a lot of trouble with me.”
The cab called and the three of them said in one voice,” I guess we’ll find out now.”

Morgan and Reid were surprised to find both Dave and Hotch dressed up.
The men were waiting at the bar for the girls to arrive.
Sure Halloween was fun but these parties weren’t much more than a political thing.
Dave was dressed as Sherlock Holmes, no surprise there.
Morgan and Reid dressed up like the Men in Black.
And Hotch looked like Timothy Dalton in Bond. It was still a suit but not one he’d usually wore.
The men were enjoying their drinks when Reid’s eyes suddenly wandered to the entrance of the room. He almost chocked on his drink.
“Hey Boywonder what’s wrong with you?” Morgan said not aware of the ladies.
“Hi guys.”
Now Morgan was stunned and Hotch just stared at the three of them.
Dave smiled; “you look beautiful ladies, let me guess the theme came from that game Jools and Garcia play.
“Jep.” Julia smiled.
Dave kissed Julie on the cheek and checked out her outfit.
“You look nice Mr. Holmes!” she complimented him.

Morgan was the first to get his vocal abilities back.
“So what are you girls anyway?”
“Sweetcheeks can’t you tell, you disappoint me. I thought you paid attention when I’m playing.” Garcia teased.
“We’re blood elves.” Julie replied,” I’m a mage, Em is a hunter and Garcia is paladin.”
“So what do you think?” Emily studied the faces of the men she worked with everyday.

Spencer was stunned but he smiled, “Morgan once told me he never messes with a woman who knows how to handle a gun, I’m going to add Blood elf women to that.”
Hotch smiled, he actually smiled. “You look very impressive ladies.”
Morgan winked at Emily and whispered to Garcia “Kevin is going to have a though time keeping the men away from you babycakes.”
Garcia gave him a huge smile. ”That’s the idea Sugar.”
Dave offered his arm to both Julie and Garcia and they gladly took it.
After some speeches and announcements Garcia spotted Kevin and she went to find him.

Julie talked to some of the technical staff she met in the last couple of weeks and after a while she grabbed Spencer’s arm and dragged him to the dance floor.
Reid was explaining to her he sucked at dancing but she just smiled.
Rossi was mingling with all the people who he supposedly knew.
And that left Emily with Hotch and Morgan.
“So Derek what do you think of Julie?” she asked the chocolate colored friend.
“She looks nice.”
“Nice?”
“Em drop it.” Morgan growled.
Spencer was now dancing (or his attempt to) with a girl from the DNA lab. He seemed to enjoy himself.
Morgan searched for Julie and spotted her with a guy he vaguely remembered from the negotiation team. She looked uncomfortable and her eyes looked with Emily’s.
“Hotch would you like to dance?” She asked out of the blue. “Derek go rescue Jools would you?”
Aaron looked at Emily and tried to read her. She looked happy, her hair was down and the red outfit looked stunning on her.
“I’d like that!” and he offered her his arm.
At that time the song changed to a slow song and Aaron let out a sigh of relief. Dancing was something he learned because of his background and a slow song was a lot better than the contemporary songs that were played before.
Morgan tapped on Julie’s dance partner’s shoulder.
“Mind if I cut in?” He didn’t wait for an answer and swept Julie away.
“Thanks, he was giving me the creeps.” Julie whispered.
Morgan pulled her close and rested his hands on her hips. Julie linked her arms behind his neck and they danced closely.
“Em is dancing with Hotch? How did that happen?”
“She asked him and told me to fetch you.”
“They look good together don’t they?”
“What Hotch and Em, never gonna happen.”
“We’ll see.”
“You look nice.”
“So do you, never pictured you as an alien chaser.”
“There is so much you don’t know about me.”
Julie rolled her eyes at his flirtatious remark.

The evening passed and everyone ended up together at a table near the bar.
They decided to share cab’s back home. Kevin and Garcia took one with Morgan and Spencer.
Dave and Julie were sharing one with Hotch and Emily.
“Look you guy’s, I’m going to powder my nose for a bit, Em you coming?”
“Naturally.”
“Why is it they always go in groups, I don’t get that.” Spencer sighed.
“Don’t bother trying to figure it out man, I’ve tried with my sisters and all I got were giggles.” Morgan answered.

“So you looked nice dancing with Aaron.”
“It was nice.”
“Nice is that all?”
“What else could there be?”
“Whatever you say Emily.”
“So what’s going on with you and Derek?”
“He’s a good dancer.”
“I know that.”
“What?”
“You looked cosy”
“Sure Emily, you shouldn’t be projecting your love life on mine.”
“Oh so that’s what it is.”
“Em?”
“Yeah?”
“Shut up!”

On the way back home Emily and Hotch were in their own little worlds. Dave and Julie chattered about the evening and they got out at Dave’s apartment.
That left Hotch and Emily in the cab together.
Emily’s apartment was up first. When they got close, Emily grabbed her purse.
“I had a good time tonight Hotch, thanks for the dance.”
“Anytime.”
Silence.
“Well this is me.”
“Yeah.”
When Emily started to get out Hotch grabbed her wrist.
“Trick or treat Emily?”
She looked at him surprised.
Hotch had figured since she asked him to dance it was now time for him to do something.
“Trick.”
At that comment Hotch pulled her close and kissed her briefly. “Goodnight Emily.”
Emily blushed and got out of the car.
“Goodnight Hotch.”
“Aaron.”
“What?”
“Call me Aaron.”
Emily bit her lower lip, a habit she had when she was nervous.
“Ok, goodnight Aaron.”
She walked to the apartment and opened the door. She turned around and waved.
After she went inside she let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding.
She felt funny, good but funny.

In the cab Hotch smiled. Emily Prentiss was one hell of a woman and the way she looked tonight combined with the changing in their relationship since New York had made him determined to find out all there was to this woman.
