A/N: Okay so this is the first of my 'Way's To Annoy People' Series. In this first story, we have Reid, doing weird/annoying things in an elevator. Also this story is mainly focused on Reid, but there will be a few appearances by the other team members. Also, in this story, Prentiss is still living in London, but however, there will be a story in this series, where Prentiss is pulling some pranks of her own. So don't worry, she hasn't been forgotten. Hope you enjoy the story!

It had been a long day after solving a murder case in and everyone was back at the B.A.U. and ready to go home. By the time they all got back, it was nearly nightfall. While Garcia was still in her office, chatting with Kevin, Reid, Morgan, JJ, Hotch, Rossi and Alex were all in the elevator. They all looked exhausted and were talking about vacationing plans.

"I'm so glad for this two week vacation we're getting. I can't wait to go to Chicago and see my mom and sisters." Morgan said.

"Jack's really looking forward to going to the beach. He's been talking about it for the past couple of days now. I can't get him to talk about anything else." Hotch said.

"Did you invite Beth to go with the two of you?" Alex asked.

"Yeah we invited her, but she has decided to go to Denver, Colorado for a family reunion."

"My family stopped having reunions nearly five years ago. Things just never go too well. The last time my family had a reunion, my cousin Julian got really drunk and brought up his ex wife's affair with my other cousin Ricardo. Well, a fight broke out between the two of them, causing my uncle Valentino to have a heart attack and nearly die. Luckily, we saved him in time. After that, we all agreed that would be the last of our family reunions." Rossi explained.

"Wow… your family reunions seem pretty interesting." Morgan said with a shocked expression.

"Yeah, tell me about it. My family reunions are like wrestling matches." Rossi stated. "I'll be spending my vacation at home, quietly resting."

"Well, I'm definitely spending my vacation with my husband. In fact, our anniversary is two days from now." Alex announced as everyone congratulated her.

"Will and I are planning on taking Henry to Disney World. He's going to be so excited when he see's all his favorite movie characters when we get there." JJ said. "Hey what about you Spence? What are your vacationing plans?"

Reid, who had been quietly standing in the middle of everyone, spoke. "I thought about going to the library, but I've already read every book in there. So I'll probably just stay home and relax."

Everyone soon resumed with their conversations as they waited for the elevator to get to their desired floor, when all of a sudden, Reid with a huge smile across his face, outstretches his arms and yells, "Group hug!" There was some awkward silence and weird glances from everyone else, as he just stood there waiting for their affection. "Come on, we're family." His teammates/friends awkwardly shifted their way to him and embraced him in a group hug. The doors soon opened and everyone awkwardly and uncomfortably walked out, leaving Reid still standing there and smiling. They were all confused and slightly embarrassed at Reid's sudden outburst. "See you all in two weeks. Have fun." He announced as the elevator doors soon closed once again.

"Does anyone know what the hell just happened there?" Alex asked.

"I don't know. Maybe he finally lost it." Rossi suggested.

"You don't think it was some psychology experiment? Maybe he wanted to see what our reactions would be." JJ wondered.

"Nah." Everyone said in unison.

"He probably just wanted to know he's loved." Hotch said.


End of chapter. I know it isn't that great, but I'd really love to know your opinions about it. So please leave a review. Good or bad. I'm not picky, although for some odd reason, I favor the good reviews over the bad. But hey, don't we all? Anyway, I'll have chapter two up as soon as possible.
