Author's notes: This is my first fanfic here on Fanfiction. I'm not a fantastic writer, but I enjoy writing so that's all that should count. I have actually been signed up for quite a while and just now have gotten into writing my first fanfic. Reviews are appreciated, just please be constructive. I would rather have a review that said both pros and cons than a flame.
Also, any text within *'s are like those grayscale stills at the beginning of each NCIS act in the episode that show a glimpse of the ending of that act. Like the episodes there will only be four acts.
Date Night
*Abby holding money out of Ziva's reach*
"So, Abby, they're remaking this really old movie and I was thinking that since I need someone to go with that you…?"
"Tron? Seen it already, Tony. Ask someone else."
Tony grumbled as the doors to the elevator shut and Abby went up with it. Tony then saw Palmer walking up the stairs and walked towards him.
"Hey, Palmer. Funny bumping into you, cause I wanted to see this remake movie tomorrow and I thought you could…?" Tony started before Palmer cut him off.
"Sorry, Tony. I'm going out with Breena tomorrow night," Palmer walked down the corridor leaving an upset Tony behind.
Tony turned to the stairs and began up them. He was on the second floor stairs when McGee popped out of the entrance.
"Hey there, McBuddy," Tony said to him.
"I'm not your buddy, Tony," McGee replied, heading up the stairs.
"Yeah, well, I was hoping that maybe, since we're such good friends, we could go out to this movie tomorrow and" Tony said
McGee stopped and stared at Tony, "Good friends?"
"Yeah, you're like my bud." Tony said wit a fake smile that anyone could see through.
"Nope." McGee said, turning to head up the stairs and entering the door to the third floor.
"Come on, McGee," Tony said, trying not to sound desperate.
"I've got plans, Tony," He said as he gathered stuff into his bag to go home.
"Really? What kind of plans? Like, meeting plans or friend plans, or plan plans?" Tony said, blocking his exit from the bullpen.
"plan plans?" McGee asked, raising and eyebrow.
"You know, plan plans. The ones where you get a little something," Tony said.
"No, I am not having sex tomorrow, Tony," McGee said with a sigh as he stepped into the elevator and it shut. Gibbs walked towards the elevator, which Tony was standing near at this point.
"Boss, you wouldn't be interested in…" Tony said
Gibbs just stared at Tony.
"Didn't think so," Tony said as Gibbs entered.
Tony watched the door shut and felt alone as the office space was filled with only occasional clicks and rings. He turned around to head back to his desk and ran into Ziva who was leaning against the window.
"Why do you need someone to go with, Tony?" Ziva asked.
"The theatre has some discounts for groups of two or more," He stated.
"Surely you do not need to save money," Ziva said, smiling.
"Yeah, well, I… uh… made an investment this week and I'm still a little tight," He said.
"Investment?" Ziva asked, raising her eyebrows and crossing her arms.
"Yeah…" Tony said as he turned went back to his desk, tailed by Ziva and began packing his things in the backpack.
"What kind of investment?" She asked
Tony looked at her and nonchalantly leaned against the short orange divider.
"I see what you're trying to do, Ziva. Those Mossad mind tricks don't work on me," Tony said with a smile.
"I am not trying to do anything, Tony. I was merely making an offer," She said, doing a quick vertical scan of him, "I will go to the movie with you, if you take me to dinner first."
"Dinner, huh?" Tony said raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, the building inspector is coming tomorrow to check all the apartments in my building from 5 to 8," She said, "And he can get a little touchy."
"Ah… okay. I guess, just uhm… I guess I'll pick you up," He said with a smile as he walked into the elevator. Ziva waited patiently for a couple of seconds before rounding the corner and talking giddily to Abby, "I think I deserve the 45 dollars now, Abby."
"No way, Zi," Abby said, holding the money, "The bet was that you had to get Tony to take you on a full date."
Ziva glared and reached for the money, but Abby snatched it away.
