Road Trip (PrentissxReader)

"Come on Em! You're so slow!" you shouted. You anxiously waited by the car for your best friend.

"Okay okay. Hold your horses, y/n," she replied.

"I can't! We're about to take a road trip up the coast and you're holding us up!"

Emily laughed. "Why are you so excited? It's just a really long drive."

You looked her dead in the eye. "I'm from Washington state. I've never seen this coast."

"Never?"

"Nope. The BAU'll keep you occupied."

"But you've lived here for a few years now..."

"Quit stalling and get in the car! I wanna go now!"

"Alright. I'm ready."

The two of you loaded up Emily's stuff and got in. Emily drove and you were the DJ.

"SHE'S MY CHERRY PIE!" you screamed to the music.

Emily laughed as you slow-headbanged to the Warrant song.

"CHANGE IT!" she hollered over the music.

You rolled your eyes but complied, choosing Crocodile Rock.

"I remember when rock was young. Me and Suzie had so much fun— come on, Prentiss!"

"mmm-ding hands and skimming stones. Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own. But the biggest kick I ever got..."

"...WAS DOING A THING CALLED THE CROCODILE ROCK! WHILE THE OTHER KIDS WERE ROCKING ROUND THE CLOCK! WE WERE HOPPING AND BOPPING TO THE CROCODILE ROCK!" the both of you sang.

Through tears of laughter, Emily said, "Y/n you're singing is awful!"

With an exaggerated shocked face, you retorted, "Better than your cooking!"

The two of you laughed and poked fun at each other until you realized the song had changed.

"Now I've had the time of my life..." you mouthed, flicking your eyes in Emily's direction.

"Y/n I know what you're doing but unless you want us to crash— 'Cause I've had the time of my life. And I owe it all to you..."

"Wow listen to you, Jennifer Warnes!"

"Ha ha, y/n."

You sang a bit more by yourself before Emily interrupted again.

"So is this why you were so excited to go on a road trip? You wanted to trap me in a car and have open mic karaoke?"

"Well, when you put it like that..." You smiled and laughed. "Kind of. I wanted to spend some time being silly with my best friend!"

Emily smiled. Even though she was staring straight, you knew she meant for you to see how touched she was by what you said.

"But also I like torturing you with my off-key singing," you said, cranking up the music and picking a new song.
