AN: Here we are. Lets see how the team reacts when the cast list comes out.

Disclaimer: Yep, Still own nothing

03: What is this feeling?

It was just over a week since the auditions and the chatter around headquarters had slowly started turning towards other topics than the show. Most of the teams were rather busy with new cases coming in and the MCRT was no exception. They had only just solved the Fazelli case a couple of days before they had been called to the scene of a dead petty officer found in a nightclub bathroom. Between the five agents, Ducky and Jimmy they were able to process the crime scene in a decent time before heading back to headquarters with the body and the evidence. Arriving there Tony was the first to get out of the van. "Thank goodness we got here in one piece. Next time you drive back i'm walking Ziva." He recieved a death glare from the isreali in response but the man simply smiled at her. Kate was the last one to get out of the van and rolled her eyebrows at her colleagues. "Maybe a bit slower Zi. We wanna keep the evidence intact." The ex-assassin pretended not to hear the woman and started to walk to the elevator that would lead to the bullpen, signalling to Kate to follow. She did so, leaving Tony to gather up the evidence since McGee had left the crime scene with Gibbs to question a witness. He sighed and picked up what they had managed to collect before taking it down to Abby's lab for analysis.

Meanwhile Kate and Ziva were at their desks already trying to get as much relevant information as they could on their most recent case. Ziva was looking into the victim's history and Kate was starting to look at the CCTV footage from the club. When Tony came back from delivering the evidence he offered to go and get food since it seemed there was going to be a long day of working ahead. The two women continued to work in his absence in the hope that something useful would turn up soon. It had been near enough half an hour before Kate stood up and put the feed from her screen on the plasma. "Hey. What do you make of this?" Ziva focused her attention on the CCTV footage of a man walking into the bathroom only a few minutes after the victim and coming out alone and seemingly not wanting to be noticed on his way out of the main room of the nightclub. "Seems like someone has a secret. Might be worth talking to. We should get the footage to Abby. See if she can make an ID." Kate got up ready to go to Abby's lab when the person she was about to visit came sprinting into the bullpen. "Guys, guys. Jimmy just told me. The cast list for the show is up!" Half of the bullpen could hear her and turned to watch as she near enough dragged both Kate and Ziva towards the board where a single sheet of paper was visible

Ziva was the first of the three to reach the front of the crowd that had gathered around the board to check if their name was listed. The people who had seen the list and left so far showed a mixture of joy, annoyance and worry. Her eyes scanned the list quickly trying to focus on the names and then to her surprise her own name was printed on one of the top rows of the sheet. There was no way she would be able to contain the resulting smile even if other people were probably glaring at her right now.

Elphaba- Ziva David

First she was shocked. Had she really just been chosen to do the main role? She hadn't actually thought about what would happen if she was actually casted in the show let alone as Elphaba. After her audition she felt she had done awful but it can't have been the case considering what had happened. The thought made her rather proud. The isreali had managed to get the main role in a musical and although it was only a work production it was still kind of exciting even though she didn't usually feel any joy over doing things that involved getting up in front of the public. Now the woman knew her place in the production she focused on the other names printed on the paper. The first to catch her eye was two names below her own and it made her raise her eyebrows and let out a sigh.

Fiyero- Anthony DiNozzo

Of all the men that worked from NCIS they had to pick Tony to play her character's love interest. In some ways she wasn't suprised at that casting. Thinking of what she knew about the character he seemed a very similar personality to her work colleague. The woman just couldn't understand why that perfect casting had to happen when she was playing Elphaba. The man in question just had to make an appearance next to Ziva at that moment having returned from getting lunch for the team and hearing about the list having been put up. Looking at the names brought a slight mischevious smile to his lips as he turned to the isreali. "Looks like we are going to be working together a lot sweetcheeks." Ziva merely rolled her eyes and threatened to kill the director with a slight tone of hunor in her voice. "If you do that i'll help you clean up the evidence," Abby responded from behind the brunette. One more look at the list was all Ziva needed to know exactly why.

Glinda- Abigail Sciuto

As soon as Abby had read her name on the list she was cursing the amount of caf-pow's she had consumed before her audition. Maybe if she hadn't been so hyper in the auditions then it would have been easier for her to get a different role instead of being doomed to wear a blonde wig and a lot of girly outfits in front of the public. Sure she had worn a blonde wig for halloween once as part of her Marilyn Monroe costume but that was different. Only people she knew had seen her in that. Maybe there was some way to get out of it. The director couldn't really force her to do that, right? It was a pity because Glinda's cheery personality was not far off her own but the character had awful taste in fashion that Abby just couldn't bring herself to think of wearing. Ziva knew what her friend must be thinking and spoke to her kindly. "It's not that bad Abby. Her outfits aren't all pink." The goth thanked her friend with a smile before looking at the rest of the list to see if there was anyone else she knew well on there.

The main cast were near enough all people who she considered her second family. The woman gave Kate a bone crushing hug to congratulate her on sight of her friend's name being next to the role of Nessarose. That meant they would get some scenes together and the scientist was looking forward to that part of it at least. The part of Boq had gone to McGee and Abby scanned the area for him before remembering that Tony had said something earlier about the man going somewhere with Gibbs and not being back until a little later. Making a mental memo to speak to him later she continued to read. It seemed even Ducky and Jimmy had done well even though they wouldn't know it until they had finished with whatever they were doing with the body down in autopsy. When Abby thought about it more thoroughly she could see why Ducky was a good choice for Doctor Dillamond. Jimmy didn't have a major role but was cast both in the ensemble and as the younger version of the wizard for the opening song 'No one mourns the Wicked'. It made her smile when she found that Melena was going to be played by Michelle Lee since it was pretty obvious her and Jimmy were something of an item even if they did try to be discreet. Tony was making a joke about Jimmy being mini Gibbs and Abby started to laught a little until the words sunk in. A young...Gibbs? Her eyes flew back to the paper and she saw it. "I think Gibbs is going to kill the director before Ziva even gets a chance."

Wonderful Wizard of Oz- Leroy Jethro Gibbs

After quickly reading the names of those chosen for the ensemble, Tony went to go back to his desk and was followed by Abby, Ziva and Kate. "So, who is going to tell the boss when he gets back?" His question was posed with a slight giggle which the rest of them understood. The others were silent since none of them really wanted to be the one to break the news to Gibbs. It was then that the two missing agents of the MCRT emerged from the elevator and the rest were forced to surpress their need for laughter. "So, how was your tip McBoq?" Tony's comment did it's job in confusing McGee and getting him to ask what the nickname was supposed to mean. Abby excitedly explained that the cast list had come out for the show and pulled McGee into a hug that he had to struggle to be released from. Kate watched the scene with a smile on her face. This part of doing the show was quite fun, she decided. People's reactions to their parts had been fun to observe. Tony and Ziva seemed proud, Abby seemed both excited and annoyed at the same time and she could swear McGee had gone slightly paler than when he came out of the elevator. The one she really wanted to see, however, was Gibbs and it looked like there wasn't long to wait. "So. Am I part of this freak show the director is planning?" There was silence between the agents for a minute, none of them wanting to speak first and reveal the news. Tony broke it but instead of saying it outright told his boss to see for himself. There were two minutes in suspense before their leader walked swiftly across the bullpen silently towards the elevator with his eyes narrowed and lips held fimly shut. "Someone's in trouble," Kate announced once the elevator doors had shut behind the grey haired man. They all knew she was telling the truth.

AN: There we are. It was originally a little different but thinking on things I made a few casting changes after finishing chapter 2. What do you think of the casting? Let me know in a review :) Until next time
