1. A Love Story: Old & New Friends
"Tony!" Nick Stokes stood up, as Tony DiNozzo came into the café, and walked over to where his old friend was.
"Man, it's really good to see you!" Nick said, as they had a manly hug.
"And you too, Nick! It has been a long time…" Tony grinned.
Nick heard excited voices behind him, and he recognized one of them to belong to his partner, Greg Sanders. He turned around to find him talking animatedly to an odd girl, who looked like she was a gothic, with pigtails, and a spike collar on her collar. Nick noticed a tattoo which looked like a spider web just below her neck. He grinned, typical of Greg to have found someone similar to him.
"Abby!" Tony exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
"Tony!" Abby beamed, and went to put her arms around Tony's neck, and kissed Tony's cheek and then she replied, "I bumped into Greg here, and we ended up chatting. He wanted to introduce me to his partner…"
Greg smiled, and turned to Nick, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Abby, meet Nick…" Greg introduced Nick to Abby.
"Nice to meet you, Nick!" Abby said, as she let go of Tony and went to put her arms around Nick, leaving both Nick and Greg flabbergasted.
Tony grinned, he knew it was typical of Abby to hug anyone, especially if she liked them. It seemed that she liked the look of Nick and was glad.
"So you are Greg?" Tony asked, putting a hand.
"Yep, and I assume you're Tony?" Greg asked, taking Tony's hand. Tony nodded, and flashed a smile.
"Wait, you already knew Nick?" Abby turned to Tony, who shrugged.
"Yeah, Nick is an old buddy of mine from the academy days."
"Cool!"
Abby and Greg sat down with Tony and Nick.
"So, Nick, what was Tony like back then?" Abby asked, her elbows propped on the table, up to her chin.
"Tony was mischievous!" Nick laughed, "He always played pranks on the lecturers."
"Ahh, still the same then!" Abby winked at Tony, who snorted and rolled his eyes.
"I wasn't the only one…Nick here helped me!"
"Not me!" Nick said, trying to look innocent.
"Oh, come on, you were so the one who started the pranks." Tony said, and then he turned to Abby, "Actually, I learnt all the best pranks from him!"
"That's interesting…I didn't know…" Greg said, grinning, and he looked at Nick, who put a hand up.
"Well, Greggo, there are things you don't know about me…" Nick said, chuckling.
Abby laughed as Tony asked, "Greggo?"
"A nickname…Nick seems to like calling me Greggo for some reason!" Greg told Tony.
"OK, tell me a story about Tony, something I can embarrass him with." Abby asked, getting excited.
"Oh, man…don't tell her anything!" Tony warned Nick, who only winked and turned to Abby.
"Mmmm, let me think a moment here…" Nick rubbed his chin, as Tony groaned.
"I got it!" Nick exclaimed, grinning.
"Tony was very handsome, and very sexy in these days…he always had girls drooling after him." Nick began to tell the story, when Tony interrupted, "Oh, no, not that story!"
"But there was this particular girl who was very obsessive with Tony." Nick ignored Tony, "She always followed Tony everywhere he went. Oh, man, she used to tell everyone that Tony was her boyfriend, which wasn't true. It was graduation day and Tony was walking across the yard to the ceremony when this girl went up to him, and jumped on him. And began to kiss him, and if I remember rightly, she gave him a love bite, in front of everyone!"
Tony groaned, as he remembered.
"It was so funny, Tony went red, like a beetroot! Tony tried to get the girl off, but she was strong, and they fell to the ground, with the girl on the top of him." Nick was laughing now and Abby was grinning.
"But that is not the best part…oh no…" Nick told Abby, "the best part was that the Commissioner was there, and saw everything. He went up to Tony and this girl…I can't remember her name…"
"Stacey…" Tony supplied, and then slapped his forehead.
"You remember her name?" Nick sounded surprised.
"I mean…who could never forget her?" Tony fidgeted in his seat.
"Anyway, the Commissioner wasn't very happy, and he took the girl…Stacey…off Tony, and told Tony to get up. Then in front of everyone, the Commissioner told Tony that it was inappropriate to act like that in public. You could see Tony going really red, and flushed, that he couldn't say anything to him, that it was really Stacey who started it all." Nick laughed.
"ohhh…poor Tony!" Abby put a hand on Tony's arm, trying to not laugh along with Nick.
Tony glared at Abby, and then at Nick. Suddenly Abby burst out laughing, and then Greg followed.
Tony groaned, and then he had an idea. He smiled, mischievously, and turned to Greg.
"Hey, Greg, you wanna know a story about Nick?"
Nick went quiet, and glared at Tony, who only laughed, an eyebrow arisen.
"Hey, you started it!"
"But…but Abby asked!" Nick tried to explain, but Tony ignored him and turned to Greg.
"Well?"
"Sure, why not? It better be good!"
"Oh, yeah, man…it's going to be so good!"
Greg and Abby leaned forward, eager to hear Tony's story as Nick groaned, he knew which story Tony was going to tell them.
"OK, we shared a dorm at the academy. Nick had a crush on someone on the basketball team, I can't remember which one..anyway…Nick used to play on his team. He was okay at basketball, but it didn't stop him getting on the team!" Tony laughed, as Greg frowned, "Nick was a basketball player?"
"I wasn't very good, and anyway it didn't last long…" Nick glared at Tony, who laughed again.
"Anyway, we were playing a game one day, and Nick was getting ready to go and play. He ran down the stairs from the locker room and tripped over his own feet. We all saw him tumbling down and suddenly, his shorts and boxers went off." Greg and Abby were laughing at this stage. "At the end of the stairs, Nick fell in front of his crush, and we saw all. Nick was so embarrassed, when he got up, and rushed off. He never played again."
Tony's eyes were now watering, at the memory, "I laughed so hard, and afterwards, I used to tease him everyday…until that stupid graduation day!"
"I must tell Warrick, he will have a whale of time teasing Nick!" Greg roared out, laughing.
"Don't you dare!"
"Mmm, if you are nice to me, I might re-consider…" Greg teased.
"I'm sure I will think of something…" Nick smiled.
"Aww…what a nice couple!" Abby cooed, while Tony rolled his eyes.
Nick and Greg blushed.
They chatted some more, shared stories and talked and talked till it got dark.
