Here is the prequel to The BAU Is Never Allowed To… I hope you like it! Just warning you, I will not write a one-shot for every rule on the list. Also, the one-shots will not be in order according to said list.
I do not own Criminal Minds.
It had been a long day at the BAU. The team had, luckily, not been on a case, but they had to do a ton of paperwork. Prentiss and Morgan had, obviously, slipped Reid some of their paperwork. Reid noticed but decided not to say anything; he could complete the paperwork faster than they could anyways. After all of the paperwork was done, they looked at the clock and noticed that they still had an hour to kill.
After a few moments of silence, Morgan groaned, "I'm soooo bored!"
"Me too," Prentiss agreed, then she burst into a fit of giggles.
"What's so funny?" Morgan asked.
"Well, I thought of something that we could do. It's kind of childish, though."
"Tell me!"
"Okay, but we will need Garcia's help."
Half an hour later
Strauss heard the phone ringing in her office. She growled then answered, "Who has the audacity to call me just as I am about to leave?"
"Chief Strauss, this is Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia, and I have just pulled up the winning lottery ticket numbers and was wondering if you would like me to check your lottery tickets for you."
"How have you discovered the winning numbers? They aren't supposed to be announced until tomorrow."
"I think you are forgetting that I am the Goddess of All Things Techy. I will read you the winning numbers anyway. The winning numbers for the $75 million jackpot are 60 41 78."
All Prentiss, Morgan, and Garcia could hear was screaming from the other line. They rushed to the bullpen where JJ, Reid, Hotch, and Rossi were all gathered to find out what the commotion was about. They were all shocked when Strauss, screaming like a banshee, came running into the bullpen area.
"I WON! I WON!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
She ran up to Rossi and kissed him passionately. Rossi pulled himself away.
"What the heck are you doing?" he yelled.
"Something I should've done a long time ago!"
She kissed him again. She then continued to run around like a maniac. Rossi just stood there, completely stunned, his mouth hanging wide open. The rest of the team cracked up at the expression on his face.
Everyone straightened up as Agent Ferdinand, Strauss's boss walked in from the elevator.
"Good to see you again, sir," Hotch said as he walked forward to shake his hand.
"You as well…What on earth is going on?!" he exclaimed as he saw Strauss's extremely abnormal behavior.
"I WON THE LOTTERY!" Strauss sang at the top of her lungs.
She then climbed on top of Reid's desk.
"CATCH ME, DAVE!"
She jumped off the desk. Rossi, still standing with his mouth agape, made no move to catch her; neither did the other agents. This resulted in Strauss face-planting on the ground.
"Section Chief Erin Strauss! You should not be behaving in such an unprofessional manner!" her boss scolded.
"Um, I'm a millionaire now, Mr. Bossman, so I don't have to take orders from that big, fat, tank you call a butt anymore!"
Everyone's eyes widened as she addressed her boss in this manner. They were even more shocked when she took Reid's coffee from him and dumped it all over her boss. She then started dancing Gangnam Style when Garcia spoke up.
"I'm not sure if this is a good time to tell you, but I am rechecking the numbers and the winning numbers are 60 41 79. I must have read them to you wrong."
Strauss stopped dancing and stared at her wide- eyed. She looked at her boss, then at the other agents around her. Unsure of exactly how to respond, she grabbed a pencil, pointed it in the air and shouted, "LLAMAS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!"
She ran to her sanctuary known as her office. Her boss walked back to the elevator, grumbling to himself. As soon as he was gone, Morgan, Prentiss, and Garcia burst out laughing.
"What did you do?" Hotch demanded.
"We may have called Strauss and told her she won the lottery," Prentiss explained.
"Why?" Hotch asked.
"We were bored," Prentiss continued.
Hotch shook his head and returned to his office. Rossi finally snapped out of his in-shock state.
"Do you realize the seriousness of what you've done? You could have gotten her fired!" Rossi scolded.
The three agents looked down in shame.
"Up top!" the heard Rossi yell.
They looked up and saw that he was expecting a high-five from each of them.
"You approve of our behavior?" Morgan asked.
"Absolutely!" Rossi began, "That old hag kissed me! She deserves to be fired! Please excuse me while I go burn my lips."
With that, Rossi walked out, and the team decided to call it a night.
What'd you think? Please review and let me know! I'm also sorry I have no idea how the lottery works, so my description of the winning may be completely off. Also, I'm pretty sure Agent Ferdinand is not the name of Strauss's boss.
