"I snuck out" I admit to Liz as I pour our smoothie bowls from the blender into our bowls and her mouth falls open. "Are you crazy?! You snuck out?! After he told you you could rest" she scolds but I just shrug admitting "I woke up at like 3AM and I panicked...so I snuck out."

Aaron told me no one could know, but technically Liz doesn't count.

1.) Because she thinks it's some guy I met at kickboxing 

And 

2.) She's my best friend and the exception to the "No one can know" rule.

"You panicked" she laughs and I nod as I pour the oats onto my smoothie "What, were you afraid his monster dick was going to wake up" she taunts and I shoot her a pointed look. "No...I just...I like sleeping in my own bed" I tell her and she rolls her eyes "If a man made me cum twice in one night, I wouldn't care if we slept on the floor."

I throw a blueberry at her with a laugh as my Blackberry rings and I look down at the caller I.D. 

"Penny G" I answer excitedly and hear her chuckles on the other line.

Hey! You busy tonight?

"Not that I can think of" I respond as I try and sort through my schedule in my head, but it's Sunday. My Sunday's usually consist of kickboxing, brunch, and bad movies.

So, here's the sitch. I have to stay at the bureau all night because of this case, but it gets super creepy after dark and I don't really want to be here by myself, sooooo I was wondering if you wanted to join me. We could get take out and camp out in the conference room.

"Like a slumber party" I ask eagerly "at the FBI" I gasp jokingly, teasing her about all the trouble we could get into if Agent Hotchner were to find out.

But with wine

"Oh, I'm so in" I chirp practically hearing her smile on the other line "I'll be there at like 7" I tell her and she agrees before we hang up and Liz raises an eyebrow at me.

"A slumber party" she asks and I nod as I dip into my bowl "At the FBI" she continues and I just shrug cooing "Just another perk of being me."

I pick up Chinese take out; Kung Pao Chicken for me, steamed dumplings to split, and eggplant with garlic sauce for Penelope and they added egg rolls, fortune cookies, and some wonton soup just because I'm such a delight. Then, I pick up a few bottles of wine before heading towards Quantico to join her for our unauthorized slumber party in the conference room.

Security should just let you on up

She texts me as soon as I pull into the parking lot and security just nods at me as I pass the metal detectors before heading into the elevator to get up to the sixth floor.

The doors open in front of me and Penelope stands there with her hands clasped and a wide grin. "I thought you were bringing wine" she mentions as she sees my empty hands when she takes the bags of food, but I pull two bottles from my bag and she claps giddily. 

"We'll have to drink it out of coffee cups, but whatever" she shrugs and I just laugh telling her "It's like I'm back in college" before walking into the conference room seeing it all set up like her office.

"Whoa, Pen" I compliment as she returns and she just shrugs with a proud grin "The don't call me the Queen for nothing." We sit around the table spreading out the food and Penelope stares at all of it in front of us.

"They gave me a little extra" I explain and she just nods approvingly "I should invite you over more often." 

"So how do you feel about Audrey Hepburn" she asks and I gawk at her in disbelief as the intro to Breakfast at Tiffany's fills the screen in front of us. "Are you kidding? She's my reason for being" I tell her and she squeaks "Mine too" as she dims the lights and we get started watching the movie but the phone rings and she groans.
