A/U: The first of my Criminal Mind's-drabbles. I don't know about the rest of the world but Word Feud is REALLY popular in Sweden right now. Everywhere you turn someone's playing it, me included, hehe. Mostly in Swedish though. Hope you enjoy!


It was a bright and sunny day even if the air was cold outside. Rossi, Morgan, Reid and Prentiss were on the road in a black SUV driving to New York. This time there were no gruesome and psychotic killer to catch, instead they were on their way to a conference to talk to students about their work and Rossi about his new book as well. For once, Morgan didn't drive, the night before had got a little too late with a little too many drinks for him wanting to drive. Instead Prentiss was in the driving seat with Rossi besides her reading through his notes. In the backseat Morgan was half asleep listening to his mp3-player while Reid busied himself with his smart phone.

"That's ridiculous!" Reid suddenly exclaimed making Morgan twitch.

"What is?" Rossi looked curiously back at Reid.

"You can't bend a word like that, it's incorrect!" Reid continued to complain.

"Pretty boy, we have no idea what you're talking about." Morgan said as he took off his headphones.

"Word feud!" Reid said as it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Word-what?" Prentiss wondered.

"Word feud, it's like scrabble but adapted to play on phones or surf plates. Eeeeveryone's playing it!" Reid gesticulated lively with his hands.

"Um, we're not." Rossi added.

"So why are you so upset then?" Morgan enquired.

"Well the game don't follow the guidelines of the original Scrabble, you can bend and put strange endings on the words that's not usually aloud. My opponent just got a word worth 180 points because of it!" Reid grumbled.

"You're priceless kid!" Morgan laughed making Reid give him a sour look.

"Why don't you play with him Morgan, make him happy with an easy win." Prentiss teased.

"Ha ha ha very funny." Morgan said. "But I might as well do it, I need to get my mind sharp before the seminar."

Reid gave Morgan a quick go-trough of the rules and functions and the game was on. At first Reid seemed to be superior as expected but as time went on and New York were getting closer more and more dissatisfied sounds were coming from Reid's throat.

"Oh come on!" Reid cried out when the car stopped on the parking lot in front of the university.

"You might know all the words in the dictionary but I'm the king of bending words incorrectly." Morgan grinned widely.

"That's not fair…" Reid pouted and looked miserable as they walked towards the main building.

"Don't worry Reid, you will always be our genius." Morgan said as he tossed an arm around the younger agents' shoulders and ruffled his hair.


A/U: Please review and make my day!
