A/N: Hi guys! Back again? This is another cute one... I'm gonna try to fit in some Tate and McAbby here. But just cuteness, friendly borderline romantic stuff. Thank you to all who have read and reviewed! Please review this one as well!
"So who are we calling again?" McGee asked no one in particular. They were all sitting in their same positions, except all leaning towards the middle of the room, where Kate held the phone in her hand.
"My ex-boyfriend Calvin," Kate said, her hand covering the speaking end of the phone. "We broke up because he prank called me when he was drunk with his friends. So now... I'm gonna do the same to him," she said in a sneaky voice.
McGee nodded slowly, he had never seen this vengeful side of Kate before. It was kind of weird.
"Hello?" a low, bored voice answered on the other side of the phone. Kate started to reply, but Tony quickly snatched the phone out of her hands. He quickly snapped the phone closed.
Kate looked at Tony, her gesturing hands showing her confusion.
"We don't even know what we're gonna say yet!" Tony pointed out.
"So? We'll just make something up!"
"It won't work, and plus, we can't have you talking, he won't recognize your voice."
"But... I want him to know it's me!" Kate begged.
"No, we have to do this right," Tony said in a strangely serious voice, considering that they were talking about a prank call.
Kate moaned and fell back on her elbows.
"So... what are we gonna say, then?" Abby asked after that ordeal was over.
"Umm..." McGee started.
Then Tony thought of something. "I know! I did this as a kid... ya call him and you say that you're a DJ from a radio station-"
"I know that one!" Abby said, "And you say you need them to answer three questions and they'll win a vacation!"
"What's so funny about that?" Kate asked.
"The point is to make the questions all funny and embarrassing," Abby explained.
Kate nodded slowly, and Tony dialed the number again.
That same monotone voice answered the phone again. "Hello?"
"Hi, you are talking live with Oscar Joe from DC 54.5 radio station!" Tony said in a completely made-up voice. Kate, McGee and Abby each gave each other looks while trying to suppress their laughs.
"We're giving away a free vacation to Hawaii, and we just need you to honestly answer three questions. You game?"
"Uh..." Calvin said before a really long pause, which caused Tony to question whether Calvin was still there or not. Tony looked over at Kate, confused, and Kate gestured to keep talking.
"Um, Mr..." Tony looked over at Kate for an answer again.
"LAWRENCE," Kate said as loud as she could in the hushed voice she was using.
"Mr. Lawrence?" After he said it, he slammed his head to his forehead. How was Oscar Joe supposed to know his last name?
"Uh, sure, I'll do it," he said.
"Okay, now the first question..." Tony started, looking around at everyone and waiting for them to come up with something.
Abby thought for a second, and then told Tony, "Ask him what he was wearing the last time he was home alone on a Friday night!"
At the sound of that question, McGee and Kate covered their mouths quickly to avoid laughing.
Tony nodded, then repeated the question in the phone.
"Well, tonight's Friday, so does that count?"
"Well, what are you wearing now?" Tony had never thought he would ever say those words to a man in his life.
"Uhh," the man said before another long pause, longer than the last one.
Tony started to talk, because the line was still quiet on the other end. "Uh, Mr. Lawrence-"
"-Uhh, I'm wearing... pants."
What a terrible liar. "Mr. Lawrence, are you being completely candid with us? We know how to tell someone's lying, and when they are, they DO NOT GET THEIR FREE VACATION!"
"Uhh, but technically I am..."
"Technically? You are not trying to say that you are wearing... underpants, are you?" Tony asked. Oh, God. This guy must have had the masculinity of a twelve-year-old, being embarrassed about saying the word, underwear. No wonder Kate broke up with him.
"UHH," Calvin said nervously before sighing, "Okay, okay, I am, I am."
"Thank you. Now for our second question..."
Tony looked over at Kate and suddenly got an idea. "Was your last girlfriend attracted to you in any way, shape, or form?"
Kate looked at him with raging, wide eyes, her lips flat.
"Uhh, yeah, but I broke up with her."
Kate sat up quickly and shot her arm towards the phone, so she could grab it and shut it, but Tony dodged her.
"Oh, you did now?" Tony said, the phone now up towards his ear.
McGee looked at Kate. "He did?"
"No!"
"What did she look like?" Tony asked Calvin.
"Uh, she had brown hair..."
"What did her face look like?" Tony was asking questions rapidly now, his eyes fixed on Kate.
"Uh, like everyone else... two eyes, a nose..."
"How old was she?"
"Did I answer my three questions yet?" Calvin asked.
"No."
"Oh," Calvin said without answering his question.
Tony waited for a moment to see if he was going to answer. "Hello?"
"Yeah?"
Tony shook his head. "HOW OLD WAS SHE?"
"I dunno, like, 42?"
Tony lowered the phone and forcefully pushed the "end call" button.
"Did he say she was 42?" Abby asked. She had been leaning near Tony to try to hear the phone conversation.
"Yeah."
McGee turned to Kate. "You're 42?"
"Oh my god, McGee," Kate moaned.
