"Tim."
"Yes?" McGee questioned.
He ran through his thoughts to find anything that would cause this anger and hurt. Abby was radiating pain.
"Abby what's-"Abby cut McGee off before he could ask his question.
"Oh don't you dare McGee. Don't you ask me 'What's wrong?' because you know perfectly well."
"If I did Abby I would have tried to avoid your lab which I haven't because I didn't come here for the case I came here to say hi."
Abby was silent for a minute trying to process what McGee had just said. He had been nice to her not defense and this threw her off.
"Still! You! You! You!- "
"What is it!"
"You promised me! Remember last Thursday you promised to be at the brain matter concert I invited you too, and it was very special because they let me go onstage and sing."
The realization of McGee's bit of memory loss hit him like a train going a thousand miles an hour. McGee's jaw fell as he was struck with a heavy load of guilt.
"Oh Abby. I… I… I… forgot. I'm so sorry-" He emphasized the word so.
Abby cut him off before he could continue.
"Don't." Abby turned around and started to type with great passion on her computer.
"Go away, I'm busy."
McGee left with his head hanging. He was disappointed in himself, but knew at that moment he would let this mistake stay this way. McGee would find some way to make it up to Abby, he had too.
Tony stepped out of the car in his thousand dollar Italian dress shoes.
"Hey Ziva are you having any bad feelings about this place?" He asked waving his finger at the building.
"That's not funny and no." She did smile at Tony's questioned but refused to allow him to see it. The building looked similar to a hospital and was very old. Tony stepped onto one of the steps in front of the building and it lowered. Tony fell back onto Ziva, which caused her to fall to the ground with Tony on top of her.
"Yikes!" Tony said in a Scooby Doo voice.
"What?" Ziva asked her eyes wide in shock.
"Scooby Doo." Ziva didn't say anything so he continued to give her details.
"Only the best cartoon and 'The Mystery Gang.' They were always falling through trap doors ."
"Tony, the step." She stated a bit insulted by the way he was trying to make her understand a cartoon she never knew.
"Everyone knows Scooby Doo." Tony said a bit amazed by Ziva's lack in cartoon culture.
"Get off me Tony."
"Oh right. Sorry." Tony stood up right then bent down and helped Ziva unto her feet.
They brushed themselves off then they stepped over the first step and walked through the door. When they finished in the building they came out with one knife located in an evidence bag in Tony's pocket. Tony knew at that moment, as he stepped back into the car, he would not allow Ziva to go home tonight without having knowledge of the famous Scooby Doo. Tony and Ziva made it back to the bullpen in half an hour. The day had passed by quickly and Gibbs had ordered everyone to go home and rest. McGee had found a solution to his dilemma. He called Abby and told her to come to the bullpen for some news on the case. It was a lie. McGee was actually going to show Abby surveillance caught at the brain matter concert he forgot to go to. It showed Abby onstage singing as the audience went crazy. When Abby arrived McGee was the first to speak.
"Abby I never knew you could sing." Abby stood in front of McGee desk with her arms crossed not exactly understand McGee's statement.
"I hacked into the surveillance that was taken the night of the concert, and I have it on CD. I just finished watching the whole thing. I had a front row seat." Abby smiled a huge sparkling smile.
"Oh Timmy." She said as she walked around his desk and hugged him.
Tony and Ziva looked over in confusion. They glanced at each other to see if the other understood but no one did. McGee and Abby offered Tony and Ziva to go see a movie before they left, but Tony and Ziva refused. When Abby and McGee were out of sight Tony shut off his computer and desk lamp. He picked up his coat and gear then turned to Ziva who was still working on her computer.
"Ziva." Tony said waiting for Ziva to look away from her computer screen.
"Yes."
"Want to learn who Scooby Doo is?" Tony asked with hopeful eyes.
"I can't I have a date with Damon." Ziva stated this with a mixture of sadness and joy.
Tony's hopefulness suddenly turned to anger.
"Damon?"
"Yes."
"You're still with that guy even after he did that to your eye."
"Tony plea-"
"No! I don't want you to get hurt tonight. Not again."
"It's not going to happen again Tony." Tony's heart fluttered at the sound of his name coming from her lips even in the middle of his anger.
He walked over to her desk and looked down into her eyes.
"Ziva." He whispered.
"Just one night, just a couple cartoons. Please." Ziva smiled a little smile, picked up her things, then shut off her light and computer.
Ziva reached for her cell phone and dialed a number Tony could not see. His jaw dropped a small amount when he realized he had been victories.
"Hello Damon. I am so sorry, but I'm going to have to work late tonight. We can see that movie some other time. See you later. Bye." Ziva smiled as she hung up the phone and looked at Tony's expression. He couldn't help but think, 'Did that just happen?'
"Shall we?" Ziva asked as she walked around her desk and headed for the elevators.
"We shall." Tony said in complete amazement.
Hope you liked it!
