**Garcia:** (spinning around in her chair dramatically) Ah, Dr. Reid! Just the man I wanted to see. You know, I've noticed something... peculiar.

**Spencer:** Peculiar? Me? I'm just my usual, socially awkward self.

**Garcia:** (winking) Oh, it's not just the socially awkward part, my dear Spencer. It's the fact that you've been doing the jitterbug every time JJ walks by.

**Spencer:** (blushing) I-I have not been doing the jitterbug!

**Garcia:** (leaning in) So, spill the tea, hon. Are you harboring any, uh, special feelings for our lovely JJ?

**Spencer:** (stammering) I, um, well... it's complicated.

**Garcia:** (excitedly) Complicated! I love a good complicated romance! But have you even thought about how she feels about you?

**Spencer:** (nervously) I haven't really... I mean, we're colleagues, friends, and... it's just... difficult.

**Garcia:** Difficult, shmi-fficult! Life's too short for "difficult." You've got to grab love by the lapels and give it a good smooch.

**Spencer:** (eyes widening) A smooch?

**Garcia:** (laughing) Metaphorically speaking, Spence! But seriously, have you tried talking to her about it?

**Spencer:** (hesitantly) Not yet. It's not exactly an easy conversation to bring up, you know?

**Garcia:** (smiling) Trust me, as the queen of difficult conversations, honesty is always the best policy. Just go for it! And if it helps, I'll even bake you some "courage cookies."

**Spencer:** (smiling faintly) Thanks, Garcia. You're the best.

**Garcia:** (playfully) I know, I know. Now go, talk to JJ. The fate of your hearts hangs in the balance!

**Spencer:** (nods determinedly) Right. I'll... I'll give it a shot.

**Garcia:** (proudly) That's the spirit! And remember, if all else fails, chocolate always helps.

**Spencer:** (with a smile) Chocolate, got it.

**Garcia:** (typing away) Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some hacking to do for justice and love! Nine-Nine!

**Spencer:** (chuckling) Um, wrong show, Garcia.

**Garcia:** (grinning) Right, wrong precinct. But love transcends all precincts! Go get 'em, tiger!

**Spencer:** (nodding, determined) Thanks, Garcia. Here goes nothing.

**Garcia:** (waving) Good luck, Dr. Love!
