I own nothing.


How Deeks and Kensi started the paper football game. Season 3, episode 5 (Sacrifice).


"In light of this information, I cannot see how we can go on being partners." Deeks announced. It was morning at the Mission and Deeks and Kensi were causally talking about the weekend. Well it had been causally until the topic of football came up.

"And why not?" Kensi asked, putting her hands on her hips, waiting to see what kind of insane reasoning he would come up with.

"You are a Packers fan!"

Kensi gave him the boy-you-sure-are-stupid look. "And your point?"

"The Packers are like the scum of the NFC North!" He exclaimed.

"You are only saying that because you are a Vikings fan." Kensi said dismissively.

"Psh, that's because they are AWESOME!"

Kensi raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Who just recently lost to the Detroit Lions when they had a 20 point lead at the half?"

"The Cowboys." Deeks replied instantly.

Kensi rolled her eyes. "You knew what I was getting at. I would also like to point out that while the Packers are 6-0, your precious Vikings are currently 1-5."

"There is still time to be the NFC North Champs."

"Are you kidding me? Besides the fact the Packers won the Super Bowl last year, the Bears were the Champions and by some sort of a miracle, the Lions seem to have pulled a decent team together. You are royally screwed."

"I bet if the Packers and Vikings would go at it right now, the Vikings would win."

Kensi snorted. "Yeah, right."

"Well, I bet the score would be real close, like a kick-for-the-win close."

At this, Kensi grinned. "Wanna put your money where your mouth is?"

Deeks gave her a questioning look. "What do you mean?"

While he was asking this, Kensi was making something out of paper. When she was finished, she held up a paper football. "Here," She said as she tossed him it. "Go sit at your desk and let's see if you got what it takes to win."

"Ok, so what are we betting on?" Deeks asked as he took a sit.

"Whoever wins, buys the coffee."

"Deal." Deeks said as he lined the football up. "Vikings, on the 35." He announced.

"Packers up by two, let's see whachya got. Do it!" Kensi said.

Deeks gave the paper ball a flick of his finger, sending it into the air. Unfortunately, it barely got pass his desk when Sam came out of nowhere and knocked it down midair. "Whoa!" Deeks said in protest.

"Blocked!" Kensi exclaimed in celebrations.

"That was for the win." Deeks stated as he glanced up at the former Seal.

"Where is it?" Sam asked.

"Well, judging by how hard you swatted it, I'd say Bangladesh." Deeks answered, sending a glare at Sam.

"Where's Charlene?" Sam asked rather forcefully.

Deeks sent a look at Kensi, confirming that he was not the only one confuse. It seemed as if Sam was losing his mind and that was truly a scary thought.


Ok, for the record, I am not a Packers fan or a Vikings fan... I am a Detroit Lions fan :)

Anyway, I was just wondering why they would be playing with a paper football and this is what I came up with. The endings a little weak, but I didn't want to type out the whole scene, so it is what it is.

As usual, feel free to leave a review and happy reading!

*Edit* Thank you to No.1TwiFanpire, who pointed out I had gotten one of the lines wrong. I tried to get it as best I could, but sometimes they speak too fast to really hear the line.
