"You guys were down in the lab for quite awhile," Tony commented after Kate and Abby exited the elevator.
"We never made it the far," Abby laughed, her armed linked with Kate's. Tony smiled, glad the duo had reunited. They were like two peas in a pod. Whatever the hell that meant.
Interrupting their reunion, Gibbs stormed into the bullpen looking completely pissed off. "Something is wrong with the damn elevator... again." He slammed his cup of coffee down on his desk. He noticed everyone smiling and saw Kate and Abby giggling. "Something you'd like to share with the class Abbs?"
"You should really fix that elevator Gibbs. Oh, and Tony... Kate wishes to have a word with you," Abby said. Kate glared at her. "Well you do." Kate continued to glare at her. "You owe me remember? Big time. After this, you still have to see about a bajillion movies with me. Deal?" Kate nodded quickly, not wanting another argument, no matter how small.
"How about we go get some coffee Kate? If that is okay with Gibbs, of course," Tony said.
"Just make it snappy DiNozzo." Gibbs motioned for them to go ahead and leave. Tony and Kate then walked to the elevator, on their way to the DC Bean. "What was that all about?" Gibbs asked, confused.
"Nothing really," Abby replied. Then she glanced over at McGee saying, "I'm ready for that talk now." She walked out of the bullpen and McGee followed her. "Don't worry Gibbs. I'll bring him back in one piece... maybe," Abby called over her shoulder.
"Abby, I am sure Kate already explained to you that it was just emotions running haywire. Nothing more!" McGee yelled. They had been arguing/discussing for the past few minutes.
"I heard why Kate did it. Now, I want to know why you did it."
"Because I was upset. I... I thought... that maybe... maybe I'd lost... you," McGee stammered.
Abby's eyes lit up. "You don't want to lose me?"
"Of course not. Who would?" Abby wrapped her arms around McGee's neck and hugged him.
"That is so sweet Tim." Talking makes things better. Not great, but better. Maybe, I can forgive him for now. I have already forgiven Kate.
Tony shut off the engine as they pulled into the parking lot of the DC Bean. They could've walked, but it was hot out and he was wearing some thick clothes. The line wasn't too long so they only had to wait about five minutes. Long enough to hopefully talk about whatever was on Kate's mind. "So Kate, what did you want to talk about? Is about the whole Abby and McGee thing?"
"Not exactly," Kate said, fidgiting. She never fidgited... rarely. "More to do with you actually."
"With me?" Tony sounded surprised. "Is it a good thing to do with me?"
"Depends."
"Are you gonna make me keep guessing?" Tony asked. "You think I am sexy don't you?" Tony joked, hoping to make Kate laugh.
"Possibly." Kate blushed slightly.
"Alright Kate. You can't sit here and pull my string like that. It is too hot to get me all excited." He smiled one of those million dollar smiles.
If Kate wasn't already melting from the heat, she sure was now. She had always had "thing" for Tony, but she never thought it was serious. Just a brother and sister "thing." Abby had apparently proven her wrong. Kate took a deep breath. She couldn't believe she was about to do this. "I am serious."
Tony's eyes grew as big a saucers. They widened even more when Kate pressed her lips against his.
Gibbs sat at his desk, sipping his coffee. Normally, he knew everything that was going on with the team, but today...he was clueless. First, there was tension... lots of it. Then crying, mostly from Kate. Followed by laughter and smiling. And finally, lots and lots of talking. Where had he been all day? What had he missed? "Guess it is just one of those young people things," he laughed to himself. He thought there had been a fight. Maybe there was. And it there was, all was apparently forgiven, but was it forgotten?
-The End-
Okay, so I know not exactly something that would happen on the show, but whatever. Abby probably would take longer to forgive Kate and McGee, but I could only write so much. I still have one more story to work on.
