Author Notes: I would like to thank my big sister RUMad for coming up with the idea for this story. I know I base a lot my stories on films and don't come up with my own ideas but I really liked this idea and I don't think anyone has written this. This is inspired by the film you've got mail which is based on the film the shop around the corner. You don't have to have watched the film to understand. They both still work for NCIS and she's still the director like the show just they meet in a chat room.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Dont cry Firefly
Chapter 1.
It was 1800 hours on a Friday night. Gibbs had just told his team that they could leave for the weekend.
Tony and Ziva had left before Gibbs changed his mind. So it just left McGee who just wanted to finish up his last report before going down to Abby's lab and spending the weekend with her. They had recently decided much to Tim's delight to give their relationship another go; they were keeping it a secret so Gibbs couldn't kill him for breaking one of his rules.
Gibbs needed help and he knew Tim was the best person to ask; he understood technology and wouldn't tell anyone.
Gibbs got out of his chair and went to stand in front of McGee's desk and looked around making sure no one was around to laugh at him.
"Tim, I need your help" Gibbs said a little bit nervous.
McGee knew it was serious as his boss just called him Tim. "Sure what can I help you with" he asked wondering what he could help Gibbs with.
"I recently got a computer and the manual doesn't make any sense and I was wondering if you could just set it up for me and show me the basics" Gibbs said surprised that McGee didn't laugh in his face and then he remembered this was Tim he was talking to not Tony.
"Sure thing boss, I ugh can do it now if you want?" McGee said trying not to get suspicious about him and Abby.
"Thanks" Gibbs said getting his gun and badge out of his draw. He walked to the elevator Tim followed closely behind texting Abby that he would meet her at her flat later he all of a sudden stopped typing when Gibbs spoke.
"Abby can come" Gibbs said without turning around.
Tim smiled before going taking the stairs to Abby's lab while Gibbs headed to his car.
Half an hour later the geek and the Goth arrived at the silver haired fox's den.
Abby didn't bother knocking she just walked straight in and Tim followed. Abby hugged Gibbs after he appeared coming out of his basement.
"Where do you want me to set the computer up boss" McGee asked trying to hurry up the process so he could spend the weekend with Abby.
"Ugh in here is fine" Gibbs said pointing to a desk in his lounge with a box containing the computer on it. McGee nodded before walking over and opening the box.
"Good choice with the computer boss" McGee said looking at it.
"That's what the guy at the shop said McGee" Gibbs said walking into his kitchen and pouring himself a cup of coffee.
Half an hour later Gibbs was sitting in front of the computer screen while Tim showed him how to 'surf' the internet and Abby was trying to persuade Gibbs to get a Facebook account.
Gibbs soon got the hang of using the computer and before he left Tim said if he needed any help to give him or Abby a call.
As Gibbs watched them go he realised he was lucky to have such close friends that were more like a family. He was happy to have his team close but he wanted someone to come home to, someone to spend his spare time with and someone who really loved him and he loved in return.
He knew exactly who he wanted but she would never want him. She was the one who left and fell out of love with him, well if she had ever been in love with him. He had loved her and still did and probably always would.
Yes he got to see her and talk to her almost every day but it wasn't enough. He wanted to hold her and kiss her and tell her how much she meant to him and to get the same in return.
Gibbs shook his head and realised he had been standing with the door open watching no one leave for a while.
He scrubbed his hand over his face before turning around shutting the door behind him.
He walked over to his new computer and began looking up things on the internet. He first looked up place's in D.C were he could get wood for his boat to see if he could get it cheaper than were he usually got it.
He was looking at a webpage when an advert popped up. It was an advert for meeting people in your area and making friends with them all through a chat room.
He clicked the x button but like most annoying ads instead of doing as you want it, it took him to the web page.
He thought to himself for a moment. He should really socialise with more people. So he began making an account.
He clicked where he lived what sex he was and created a pen name.
He wondered if anyone would talk to him. He got up and went to the kitchen to get another mug of coffee.
When he came back his computer made a 'ping' sound and what he saw on the screen shocked him.
He blinked a couple of times before re reading the message:
Firefly: Hello.
TBC….
Who is Firefly? What did you think? Should I continue? I have put established McAbby in it as in my other story 'without a doubt' I have established Tiva and I wanted to have a go at McAbby with Jibbs.
I'm stuck on Gibbs's pen name so if you have suggestions please PM me or leave a review I will eternally grateful.
