AN: This is my first EVER fanfiction. Hopefully I'll have it finished before the New Year, but no promises. Being my first, reviews are VERY welcome XD
AN2: All mistakes are my own.
The snow fell quickly, covering the ground with a white blanket within minutes. It was a beautiful sight, and Emily Prentiss smiled as she placed a gentle kiss on Jennifer Jareau's temple.
It was a week before Christmas, and Emily and JJ had just finished decorating their first Christmas tree together in their new home; they'd been living together for a couple of months. As JJ placed the last glittering bauble on the sparkling tree, she turned in her lover's arms to place a soft and gentle kiss on her lips.
However, what started as a gentle kiss quickly progressed in to something much more heated. As JJ guided Emily towards their wide leather couch, there was a quiet knock on the door, before Penelope Garcia let herself in with the key the loving couple had given her.
Upon hearing the door close, the two agents pulled reluctantly apart, but left their foreheads resting against each other. Garcia sighed happily when she saw them, saw how in love they evidently were.
"Aww! You two are so sweet together. You're so lovey-dovey it's almost sickening; so stop being so in love, and go upstairs and get wrapped up warm...we're going to build a snowman in the field."
Stealing a quick kiss before pulling away, Emily turned her head so she was looking at the blond tech extraordinaire, who did indeed look like she was planning on building a snowman, with a sly grin on her face.
"Pen, as much fun as that sounds, I'd much rather continue what we had started before you interrupted us. Although, I must admit, going upstairs does sound like a good idea."
"Besides, Penny, we only have a week until Christmas, and me and Em haven't even started wrapping out presents, and God knows if we'll get pulled on a case again" JJ finished.
Garcia's grin, which had faulted at Emily's comment, grew again at JJ's remark.
"Well then, it's simple. I'll help you wrap your presents so we can go and build a great big snowman in the field, and then you can continue whatever it was you'd started before I got here, tonight when we get back to get warm again. Although, only once I've left."
Both Emily and J blushed slightly at Garcia's last remark, although they both got their composure back quickly enough. JJ was the quickest to recover and counted her friend's point with her own.
"Pen, that does sound like an amazing plan, however, there is one problem; we need to wrap your present as well and we can't do that if you're here!"
"Okay, then. Well, I'll go get a Christmas CD from my car while you get the presents and wrapping paper. And then, while you're wrapping my present, I'll go to the toilet because I've needed to go since I left mine an hour ago"
Before either girl could argue, Garcia spun on her heels and fled to her car to get her CD. She knew exactly what one to grab. Not only was it her favourite Christmas song ever, but 'White Christmas' also seemed to suit the snow which was still heavily falling from the sky.
Back inside the house, Emily gave JJ a quick but deep kiss before she got up to retrieve the presents and wrapping paper they had bought from the closet under the stairs. Helping her girlfriend up from the sofa, the profiler pulled the blond media liaison in for another kiss before sitting on the floor to start wrapping the gifts they had bought for their families and friends.
"Come on J, we may as well get them done to shut the Goddess of All Knowledge up"
The younger agent laughed as she sat next to Emily and grabbed Garcia's small present to wrap. They had just finished tying the ribbon around Garcia's gift when the self-proclaimed goddess returned with her CD.
Two hours and one bottle of wine later, all the presents were wrapped and under the Christmas Tree ready for the following day. The BAU had decided to exchange gifts early so everyone could be there and they could all spend the special day with their families. It was late afternoon, but Garcia was persistent in wanting to build a snowman, so the young couple headed upstairs to get dressed in lots of warm layers before braving the cold snow outside.
"Hurry up! The snow will have melted by the time you two are ready at this rate!"
Garcia shouted up the stairs just moments before JJ and Emily appeared at the top wrapped up warm, with their arms around each other, poking their tongues out at the quirky blonde's sarcastic comment.
"Let's go!"
By the time the trio had arrived at the large, snowy field, it was already dark. However, as reluctant JJ and Emily were to begin with, they wanted to leave without building a snowman even less. While Garcia was bending down to start the body of the snow man, JJ quickly made a snowball and threw it at her flamboyant friend, hitting her on the head. Laughing, she hid behind her girlfriend before the tech analyst could respond. Turning sharply, Garcia threw three snowballs in quick concession at the couple, each one hitting Emily in the chest. Building a snowman hadn't been Garcia's intention at all: all she wanted we a snowball fight with her two best friends.
The fight was on!
