A/N This is mainly a Prentiss/JJ story but has all of the team involved as well. okay so I've made a few changes in this story. The main one being that as a child JJ never had a sister and it was in fact her mother that committed suicide when she was 11, oh and she grew up in Louisiana not Pennsylvania! If I make any more changes throughout the story ill let you all know enjoy!

Chapter 1 – bait girl.

The place where Jennifer Jareau grew up was a small town where everybody knew everybody; this bugged they young blonde to no end. The fact that people who walked passed her in the street seamed to know all about her life – or they at least thought they did literally made her blood boil. That's why she loved her home, in the middle of the lakes and marshland didn't sound to appealing to all of the others but to Jennifer it was her little oasis, a place where she could escape the prying eyes of her neighbours and spend her days enjoying the banter with her father.

It was a Monday morning and Jennifer sat fiddling with her red cap at the desk of her fathers bait shop, she was interrupted from filling out the books when a bag was dropped down onto the sheet she was writing on. Feeling slightly annoyed Jennifer jumped up from her stool and threw the pen down on the desk.

"Hey you just…" she was stopped from beginning her rant when she looked up to see the beautiful brown eyes of Aaron Hotchner looking down at her. "Oh hi Aaron" she continued slightly nervously as she removed her old stained blue jacket.

"Hey…uh?"

"Jennifer."

"Right, how much?" He looked down indicating the bag of hooks that he had just thrown down onto the table she was working at.

"no charge a deals a deal." She stopped noting he looked slightly confused as to what she meant and felt like she should enlighten the older boy. "Free equipment in exchange for never having to take the bus again?"

"Great!" he smiled back flashing her a dimple before grabbing the bag of hooks and walking away leaving an extremely embarrassed blonde in his wake.

Taking that as her ride Jennifer quickly pulled of her red cap and threw her book into the rucksack which laid open at the side of her. Not bothering to zip it up; she threw it over her shoulder and ducked under the counter in quick pursuit of Aaron, she stayed behind him while she pulled her long blonde hair out from her bobble and patted it down to a cute style. She was interrupted from her path as she passed her father who was fiddling with some barrels at the bottom of the porch.

"Hey Jen, can I talk to you for a second?" her father called as he fell in line with his daughters steps.

"Uh, yeah." She smiled as she slowed to walk with her dad.

"so did he ask you to that homecoming dance thing yet?"

"dad!" she half laughed just hoping that the brunette boy in front of her didn't hear her fathers question. "don't embarrass me."

"I'm your dad, its my job!" he pointed out to his daughter who was now over the embarrassment and was once more smiling at her father while she walked over to the car aaron was heading too. "don't be late from school we've got a lot of work to do around here." He yelled after her.

Jennifer's smile faded as she approached the posh car, which aaron was placing his buy into the boot of and stopped when she saw the two sets of eyes boring into her. "what are you doing here?" she asked the brunette girl sat in the front of the car.

"Aaron's driving us until I get my new ride" she smirked. "isn't that sweet"?

"hm, sweet." She sighed before turning to look at Aaron who was now climbing into the drivers side of the car "Um theres no room for me"

"sure there is c'mon." he smiled pointing to the back seats of the conservable one side of which was covered in dresses. "Climb in"

"No she's right." The brunette smirked "Penelope's already crinkling my after lunch outfit."

"no I'm not!" the red headed girl in the back replied moving further away from the two outfits which took up the rest of the back seats.

"Elle, this is high school not vegas, you don't need a costume change!" Jennifer pointed out the girl in the front of the car.

"right" she laughed. "but you might wanna think about it!" she replied earning a laugh from Penelope in the back.

"I'm sorry Jennifer, hey thanks for the bait." Aaron spoke up before driving away. "See ya!" Elle yelled along with Penelope who joined in adding a "bye bait girl." Leaving Jennifer stood looking down at her green butterfly t-shit and jeans. She turned back to see her dad smile and nod his head in the direction of their truck.
