Bad Mood
By: Depaul1203
Summary: No one knew why Donna was in a very bad mood, and Team Three needs to deal with it. Really tried to make this into a one shot.
Chapter 1:
Donna woke up one morning in a really bad mood. She felt terrible and was plagued with an awful headache. Despite this, she decided she still needed to go into work because the team had no-knock warrants to serve, so all hands were on deck.
When Donna came down for breakfast, Hank noticed how pale she was. He immediately became worried and asked, "Donna, are you feeling okay, sweetie?"
Donna very quietly and crankily replied, "Not really, but I still need to go in. Hopefully I will not have any OT today or SIU hearings to deal with."
"Okay, sweetheart," said Hank. "But if you feel any worse, try to come home. And let someone know you aren't feeling well. The team will not look down upon you for not feeling your best."
They managed to finish breakfast in silence, and each left for work. Donna made the decision to go in later than usual because she knew she wouldn't be able to do workouts with the way she was feeling. She didn't want to push herself, but she forgot to call anyone to let them know she wasn't coming to work out with the team.
Back at the barn:
The members of Team Three were getting worried when Donna didn't arrive on schedule since it wasn't like their team leader to miss the workout.
"Maybe she overslept," Tom posited. "She did look really tired last night and was getting a bit cranky, too."
Donna finally showed up and didn't say a word to anyone as she went straight to her locker to get ready for the day. Her team thought it was weird and should have been a clue to her mood.
"I'll go see what's up," said Jackie.
As soon as Jackie came into the locker room, Donna snapped that she was okay and to leave her alone.
Jackie was taken aback by this unexpected outburst. "Okay, Donna," she said slowly, "but are you sure you're okay?"
"I am okay," growled Donna. "Now can I get ready? We still need to go over the warrants."
"Copy that, Donna," Jackie replied, "but if you aren't okay, let me know and I will cover for you."
"I SAID I AM OKAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Donna yelled.
Jackie backed off and left the locker room to go talk to the guys to warn them of Donna's current mood, because she just knew it was going to be a very long day with Donna.
"Okay, Team, we can deal with this," said Sam, after hearing from Jackie what happened in the locker room. "Donna doesn't get like this often. She could have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Jackie said Donna doesn't look like she feels okay. Tom said we just need to keep a close eye on her—maybe get her to stay in the truck."
Donna came out to join them as they were talking, and just couldn't keep a lid on her irritation. She shouted at them to get their rear ends into the briefing room right away. Every other team on duty just sighed and felt sorry for Team Three: clearly they were in for a rough day if Donna was in such a foul mood.
