Hello again. Seems everyone wanted to see Reid put "on the catwalk," so here's a bit of that. I'm interested to know what sort of place you all think Reid should consider as his new home...and how he's going going to drive Morgan crazy.

Disclaimer: Criminal Minds is not mine. Nor shall it ever be, save in my writing, I'm afraid...

"Come on, Spence, we need to see if your clothes fit," called JJ from the kitchen.

Reid looked at the dozens of pieces of clothing that littered Morgan's living room. He was speechless. They actually think I'm going to model for them? he thought. Haven't I had a bad enough day as it is?

"Yeah, handsome," seconded Garcia. "Can't have you walking around in pants three sizes too small."

After making a great show of huffing and garbling words, Morgan gently directed the young man towards the bathroom. "Just get it over with, kid," he said. "They're not gonna leave until you do."

An hour later, Reid had gone through nearly half of the clothing haul the ladies got for him. He rather liked some of the sweaters that Emily and JJ had picked out—a gray and maroon one really caught his eye—and the neon polka-dot tie Garcia had gotten for him really did go well with the solid color dress shirts she'd picked out.

"Wow," he said as he twirled around in some of the casual picks the girls had chosen for him. He was starting to get dizzy—this was the eighty-seventh time he'd been 'on the catwalk' in three hours.

"Yuh-huh," said Garcia, looking over the cotton shirt and jeans ensemble he'd put on. "Who knew orange would look good on you?"

"It does," seconded JJ. Even Morgan agreed.

Note to self--buy more orange, Reid thought. It was the first time a color outside of his usual browns-and-greens had gotten such reviews.

Finally, four hours later, Reid was trying on the pajamas. "No more," he said. "I'm really going to bed after this."

"Aww, so cute!" Emily said. "Polka dots!"

Garcia had won the polka-dot debate. The pajamas were white with medium sized green polka dots on them. They even included the little hat, which JJ insisted he put on to look like a "real" person going to bed.

"Pajamas haven't come with a hat in ages," she said. "It's like the guy in The Night Before Christmas."

Reid blushed.

"Well, ladies, as much as I'd like to say you're welcome to stay, I think we've kept Reid up long enough," Morgan said finally. "We've gotta get him up bright and early to look at new places tomorrow."

"Oooh, can I come?" said Emily.

"Visions of paint schemes will be dancing in my head," seconded JJ.

Morgan looked around his living room.

"Girls, you nearlybought the kid a whole new house," he said finally after Reid had gone in to brush his teeth. "Where did all the money for this come from?"

All three women looked at each other.

"We collected," Garcia said finally.

"Collected?"

"Yeah. We told everyone on our floor about the trip before we left work. You'd be surprised how quick our resident genius became everyone's pet project…"

"Do me a favor?" said Morgan. "Don't tell him about that."

"Of course not. But we do have some leads on new places…"
