Hello, everybody; ModernDayBard here! Hope you enjoyed the last chapter. Don't have much of anything else to say, so let's get to it!
Disclaimer: I own neither these characters nor these songs, I just decided to put them together!


A job with the BAU is many things, but full of days off is not one of them, so any and all Christmas shopping (at least, that which cannot be done online) must be handled efficiently in the few scant days that can be seized before the holidays.

That was how and why Prentis found herself walking quickly through downtown DC, congratulating herself on decimating her (admittedly short) Christmas list in a matter of hours, leaving her with a brief bit of daylight, plus the evening, unexpectedly free.

Just as she was wondering if she should call up some of her friends and see if they were free, she heard a singing group from the park a block away. Curious and in a good mood, she made her way in that direction.

"What child is this,
Who lay to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?"

It turned out to be a barbershop quartet singing a carol she vaguely remembered from her days of being dragged to church after her mother. Instinctively, she began to walk away, but then she stopped.

They weren't preaching, weren't juding. Just singing. And they sounded really good, even to her untrained ears. Maybe it wouldn't hurt…

"This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;"

…Maybe she can stay for a little bit…

"O raise, raise a song on high—
The virgin sings a lullaby;
Joy, oh joy for Christ is born:
The Babe, the son of God!"


So, yeah. Prentiss is probably the hardest team member for me to write, and a seasonal piece like this is even harder for me. I tried my best not to take her out of character, but wasn't quite sure how well I worked in the song. Anyway, tune in tomorrow for Endurance's next chapter!
As always, if you liked it, or saw something you think I can fix/improve on for next time, don't hesitate to leave a review and let me know!
