QUESTION OF THE CHAPTER: what are your biggest 3 pet peeves?

*I had to search this up, so for those who also didn't know, a 'magazine' as part of a semi-automatic gun, is that thingie that holds the bullets*

New Year's had been celebrated at Rossi's as well, this time with no children around. Garcia brought her karaoke machine and forced everyone to sing at least once before the clock rang midnight.

The bright woman and Derek went around hugging and kissing everyone on the cheek the moment they all stopped yelling 'happy new year'. They were both quite drunk, and what they meant as pecks ended up being sloppy and wet kisses, much to the genius' dismay. Thaleia had laughed so hard when she saw the boy's disgusted face.

But party was over. It was now end of January and so far they had dealt with three cases, one of which Thaleia had been forced to attend. Luckily, they only spent four days out: the unsub had been caught before he had the chance to kill anyone else, and for that, they were glad.

"Bonjour agents" the girl entered the bullpen with a black ball of fur in her arms.

"Hey" Prentiss ran towards her once she saw the creature the newcomer held "And who might this be?"

"Her name is Jerry, AKA Penguin"

"She's adorable!"

Derek frowned as he heard the girl and made his way towards his friend's desk, but before he could ask, the genius spoke without looking up from his paperwork "Yes, it's a she and her name is Jerry" he scribbled down. As if sensing the next question, he answered "Yes, she knows... and the nickname is Penguin because the cat is black and has white fur on her belly" he finished with his signature awkward grin.

"I'm not surprised after all" the man walked towards the group of women that had gathered around the creature "What brings you here, sweet-cheeks?" he gave her a side hug.

"Well, I was with Jordan in his office because of a meeting, but the tension in there started rising up and you know... bad energies and all that stuff that I don't believe in... They were too loud and annoying for me to sketch in peace so I decided to come here... I'm also keeping track of how long it will take for them to realise I'm gone" she shrugged. The girl sat on Spencer's desk after Emily took custody of the cat "Sup' Bubbles?"

"Nothing much... anything new in your life, Buttercup?"

"First of all, I'm surprised you know that Bubbles and Buttercup belong to the same fictional universe, although you're wrong: I'm either Mojo Jojo or Princess Morbucks... Morgan is Buttercup" she pointed at the man who was standing behind Prentiss watching the cat "And second, nothing new in my life... well, other than the fact that I got into a fight in prison. But me fighting someone is not new so..."

"Who did you fight in prison?" the boy asked, curious but not surprised.

"Oh my, who didn't I fight... uh- I don't know, some dudes that were in the visitors area. They were saying some stuff to me -which in all honestly did not bother me at all- but then Oliver came in and when they saw I was there to see him they started making comments, which did piss me off. And well, the rest is history"

"How is he doing?" Reid knew Thaleia was going to visit Oliver soon, and was actually waiting for her to let him know that she did.

"Oh, he's going to be better now, hopefully. After I beat the shit out of those men I made sure that he was taken out of jail and put into a mental facility"
