"Come on, babe. Fleur's car is here." Elijah called upstairs to him.
"Yeah, I'm just coming." Reid ran over, placing the Grand Canyon Ornament on the mantelpiece.
"We've got an exciting day ahead of us." Elijah hummed.
"I don't like the idea of working out."
"Well, you need to."
"I'd say I'm actually quite fit." He pointed.
"Well, I'd say that Fleur and I are in better shape than you, string bean." Elijah shrugged as they started walking to the car.
"I.. Look great."
"I never said you didn't." Elijah pointed,"Just that we're more physically skilled."
Reid chuckled and locked the door, walking inside of the car.
"Morning boys." Fleur hummed.
"Morning, love." Elijah waved to her.
"We all ready?" Fleur asked.
"Ready for fitness test practice? I'm so ready." Elijah winked,"So is Reid."
"No I am not." Reid sighed.
"You need to have some faith, Reid." Elijah shook his head.
"I won't be able to do this."
"Hey, you aren't alone. Garcia's doing the test too." Elijah reminded him.
"We won't be able to do this." He corrected.
"Fleur, tell him they've got this." Elijah sighed.
"If Elijah and I can do this, you'll be fine." Fleur hummed.
"See?"
"I guess so." Reid sighed.
"Look, Flo and I will be right there with you both to.. Encourage you." Elijah told him.
"I wouldn't say encourage-" Fleur shrugged.
Elijah cleared his throat,"Encourage."
"Encourage it is." Fleur chuckled.
"You two are the worst." Reid sighed.
"Of course." Fleur hummed as she drove off to Garcia's house
When they arrived, Garcia sighed as she got unto the car,"Hello, my lovelies."
"Hello Penelope." Fleur hummed.
"Do we really need to do this?" She asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Fleur chuckled.
"But I'm never in the field."
"Still needs to be done."
"Isn't there some way I can get out of it?" Garcia questioned.
"Nope, I already tried." Reid sighed.
"Look, you two just need to relax. It isn't even that bad." Elijah assured them.
*********************************
"8:49." Garcia panted as they all crossed the finish line at the track.
"You did so good, sweeties." Elijah clapped from the stands.
"Good God, that's not even close." Reid cursed.
"Why does it have to be such a fast mile?" Garcia questioned,"Have you ever even had to run a mile in the field?"
"No." Fleur wiped the sweat from her head.
