Greetings all! After all the excitement and sadness over the last few episodes in season 6, I want to go back in time…back to where everything was still kosher, well kind of. Back to before AJ Cook and Paget Brewster were to leave the show, back to before Ashley Seaver was introduced (not her fault) and oh yeah, Ian Doyle; Mr. I-can-pull-you-back-into-the-bowels-of-my-miseries.

We need some humor…team humor that is. It's been sad and dramatic all around so here's a little perky pick-a-upper!

This takes place around season 3 and 4, two of my favorite seasons!

This story wouldn't be what it is without the invaluable help of Brandywyne Walker! I've gotten to know her these past couple of months and let me tell ya, she is some awesome chic!

So, without further ado (always wanted to say that!), here's a little team story/misadventures:

Disclaimer: as always, I don't own the series nor its' primary characters.

ENJOY!


Moonshiners and Pink Booties

Part 1

He tried to lift himself up but his head began to swim and a fantastic bongo beat began in his head; fantastic? No, it was torturous as it kept on with the same beat.

Thump, thump, thump.

He tried to wave the drummer away but his hand felt like lead.

God! What the hell is happening to me?

He felt movement beside him and smiled, thinking it was his fiancée…soon-to-be wife.

But his fiancée was having a girls' sleepover/bachelorette party and he wouldn't be seeing her until the wedding which was the next day.

Then, who's lying next to him?

Oh damn! He hoped against hope it wasn't a prostitute or some stripper named Bambi.

He groaned as he remembered being out with Dave, Morgan and Reid… but why?

Oh yeah, his "bachelor party".

Word had leaked to Morgan that Hotch hadn't had a bachelor's party when he was engaged to Haley. The dark-skinned man had stood up and declared to those who were within earshot. "Make up time!" Morgan had laughed raucously.

Luckily for Hotch, Reid and Dave were the only ones at the bullpen at the time.

Reid had wanted an explanation on why there was a need for a bachelor party.

Dave was already thinking of where they could go.

The girls heard about the grand plan and made some rules beginning with an embargo on Strip Clubs. Dave glared at them as it was his first choice of venue. Hotch's eyes widened when he saw Dave's disappointed look; was he serious about going to a strip club?

Hotch shook his head and told Dave that the girls were right. How about a simple Barbecue party at his house? Instead of an all-male and an all-female bash, why not co-ed, hence a 'family' get-together?

In truth, he wasn't crazy about watching a bunch of young woman that looked like they were in need of some good hearty meals that contained more than 2 leaves of lettuce and a carrot stick. The body frames of these ladies made one wonder how a skeleton could walk on 4inched stilettos or those cliché hooker 5 inched clear plastic platforms? And that was their attempt to look sexy hoping those sick perverts would stick several dollar bills into their panties. Yeah, major excitement.

As he lay on the bare metal cot, he heard rustling to his far right. Along with the rustling, there were groans and moans. Hotch recognized it as Morgan; the perpetrator of this whole shebang!

"What the fuck happened? Where are we?" Morgan asked, his voice sounded gritty. "And why am I on top of Dave? Shit! My head hurts!"

Hotch couldn't bring himself to laugh; he had his own problems at the moment but he was privately glad that Morgan was suffering too! Serves that bastard right!

"Hey Hotch!" Morgan called out. Apparently Morgan could see his surroundings. Damn that man! Hotch thought.

"Hotch? You alright, man?" Morgan's voice penetrated and bounced onto the bongos and doubled the decibels in his head.

"Will you quit yelling? My head hurts too."

"Oh… Where are… Oh shit!" Morgan exclaimed.

"Oh shit what?" Hotch groused, he wished Morgan would just shut the hell up.

"Hotch! I think we're in jail!"

End of Part 1

Yes, they are very OOC! But come on, we really need cheering up!

Hope to hear some reviews…or lots of it! Oooh…that would be so cool!

Part 2 will be posted within 2 days!

Thank you,
