TFR's Writing Prompts #1

"You say 'potato' I say 'dammit, put the ray gun down'!"


"Ziva, no, not that. Pick it up! Pick it up!"

"Pick what up McGee?"

"The item was right there!"

"Then I can just go back and get it, if it is so important?"

"No, he's gaining on us, we need to keep going forwards. Just forget it."

"Why did you not say that we needed it earlier?"


"This isn't the right way!"

"You said 'follow the path until we found that and then turn right'. I'm turning right!"

"I said turn left."

"Why the hell didn't you say something when we were, you know, GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION?"

"I tried."

"You did NOT"

"I did. Loudly. You were distracted by Ziva removing her sweater."

"It was too hot."

"Yeah you were."

"GUYS!"


"If you would just let me lead."

"Who's the Senior Field Agent here?"

THWACK

"Where the heck did that come from?"

"Don't you know the terrain like the back of your hand? You know, like the person who traverses this daily?"

"Traverses?"

"Daily?"

McGee blinked rapidly and flushed. "Not important."

Ziva smirked and as Tony opened his mouth McGee interrupted, "At least I know what we're meant to be doing!"


"No, Ziva, don't go behind it, you'll get squashed! And Tony, antagonising him WILL NOT end well."

"But, McGoo, if you follow Ziva we can overpower-"

"No. We have no where near enough experience points to do that."

"Come ooooooon."

"Stick to our strengths!"

"Talking IS my strength."

"Don't I know it."

"Excuse me, McNerd, who exactly is helping you here?"

"Neither of you. Why did I think that this was a good idea?"

"You say 'potato'-"

McGee interrupted what was sure to be another rant, "Dammit, Ziva, put the ray gun down!"

The sound of an explosion echoed through the room.

-YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN DESTROYED. LIVES: 0. WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESTART?-

Tony and McGee groaned.

"Three hours!"

"We were so close…"

"You said 'play our strengths'! Weapons are my strengths!"

"Your character's strengths, Ziva! You were the medic!"

McGee looked at both his teammates in disgust and threw his headset down.

He was NEVER playing video games with those two again. He'll stick to online players.
