Thought I could've done a little Callie fanfic. Scorpion is owned by CBS. Rated T for Toby's horrible pick-up lines. Enjoy!
Cabe Gallo was in a rut. He knew he had a crush on Allie Jones, Sylvester's campaign competition on Thanksgiving, and now he wanted to do something about it. But he didn't know which member of the team to ask for help.
There was Walter, but he was already fighting to keep any current relationship with the liaison, Paige, to no avail. He would be busy anyways, and he wasn't too good with romantic advice either. Cabe didn't think the kid had any.
Toby was sketchy. The Doc was one of the members but he was a huge blabbermouth, and would tell everyone as soon as he found out. He scratched Toby off of the list in his mind.
Sylvester would say anything to him. Anything. He would ask the human calculator one thing and then he would be talking about something unrelated to the topic. He was out of the option.
Paige was the only sane person on the team with a normal mind. But her recent love interests showed no love back. Until she met Tim, and then what Cabe thought could turn into romance between the liaison and 197 fell apart. Only Walter hoped for a relationship.
Happy was the only other option left. They had recently gotten to know each other better because of the incident in Cabe's house. He didn't know if she had a romantic eye, but she seemed to know that Allie was in to him, but her choice of words were "Isn't that the cutie that's hot for your booty?" Happy was out.
Was there really no one on his team who could help him? He walked into the garage shaking his head, chuckling to himself. That's what I get for choosing to work with a bunch of super geniuses and only one sane person.
"What's so funny?" Toby asked, making him jump.
"What the hell are you three doing here?" Cabe asked Toby, Paige and Happy.
"We decided to do some extra work. It's not my thing but Paige forced us to do it anyways." Happy said, glaring at Paige.
"Hey, I just want a clean slate for the rest of the week, is that too much to ask for?" Paige protested
"You know Walter's gonna have more paperwork tomorrow, Paige." Happy said and Paige growled at her.
"You seem a little… off, Cabe. Are you still thinking about Allie?" Toby asked and smirked as Cabe's face turned red at the mention of the campaign manager. "Ah I knew it. So what do you need? A little advice? Tips?"
"Actually all of those, but from someone that isn't you." Cabe said "The last thing I need is the wrong advice."
"Ow, that hurts, Cabe." Toby fake pouted at the agent
"I just need the simplest advice." Cabe said, ignoring Toby's pouting
"Puns." Happy said, smirking "They're punny."
"Very funny Hap. What you really need Cabe is some pick-up lines!" Toby exclaimed
"Oh, God." Cabe muttered
"Flowers. Girls love flowers." Paige said while Happy snorted and rolled her eyes. "What's wrong with flowers, Happy?"
"Don't get me started."
"So was that good enough advice?" Toby asked
"There's something wrong with all of you. I'm just going to ask her to Kovalskys" Cabe said
"Aww come on Cabe, at least hear us out!" Toby protested
"Fine. Don't make me regret this."
"Pick-up lines are easy. I know a few dirty ones, if you want." The doc smirked
"I regret this already."
"I heard this one a while back; 'Baby are you a screen door? Cause I would love to slam you all day long.'" Toby snickered "Any girl would want to be slammed, if you know what I mean."
"I never should have agreed to this."
"Toby how dirty are you trying to get Cabe to be? We literally killed him and brought him back to life. Which I'm glad you're doing better, Cabe. Every girl likes flowers, they're pretty and they smell nice." Paige said and Happy rolled her eyes. "Well what's your idea?"
"Puns you can slip in anywhere. Just don't be annoying about it." Happy said "It's not the best but they're the least harmless out of all three."
"How are flowers harmful?" Paige questioned
"Allie could be allergic to them, you never know." Happy replied
"That's true. But how are my pick-up lines offensive?" Toby protested
"Why would you ask someone if they want to be slammed, Toby?" Paige asked the shrink
"I said I know several pick-up lines! That was just one!"
"All of you stop fighting. I'm just going to ask her to Kovalskys, no pick-up lines, no puns and no flowers. Just be original." Cabe said annoyed with the team's fighting.
"Well, call her then!" Toby exclaimed
"I, uh, don't have her number…" Cabe trailed off
"Not good."
As if it was a wish, there was a knock at the garage door. Toby went to answer it and noticed it was Allie with more paperwork for Sylvester's campaign. Paige, Toby and Happy eyed Cabe, the look in their eyes said "Go for it!"
"Is Sylvester here? I have some paperwork that I forgot to give him the last time." Allie said
"Uh, n-no he left a half an hour ago with Walter. I can give it to him tomorrow." Cabe stuttered and the three team members left rolled their eyes and shook their heads.
"One minute, please." Toby said, grabbing Cabe's arm and pulling him into the kitchen. "What the hell are you doing? Just ask her out!"
"Doc do you know how annoying you're being?" Cabe asked
"Yes, but just DO IT! Stop chickening out!"
"Alright, alright, I'll ask her."
They walked back out, Cabe forced himself to not punch Toby in the face. Allie still held the paperwork because Toby pulled Cabe out of the room before he could take it. She gave it to him and he said a quick 'thank you'. She turned around to leave before Toby kicked the back of his shin.
"Do you, uh, want to go to Kovalskys?" Cabe asked quickly, making a mental note to kick the shrink's ass later.
"Sure, what time?"
"Is six pm tomorrow okay?"
"Yes. Meet you there?"
"Alright. See you tomorrow."
"Until then, have a good time today." Allie smiled and left.
Once she was gone Toby was the first to speak "Holy shit she just quoted you!"
"I'm going to kick your ass if you don't shut up."
"Got it!"
