I know the beginning sounds familiar, but the ending takes a path different from the Nutter Butter chapter, I promise! Lol. Please review, and thanks in advance!

Prompt: Ziva catches Tony going through McGee's desk drawers. (by xangels creationx on FFN)
"Lose something, Tony?" Ziva asks, sneaking up to Tony.
"Ziva!" Tony slams the drawer shut. "Um yeah. I, um, I thought McProbie might have taken my cologne."
"You wear cologne?" She raises her eyebrows and sniffs him. Then she wrinkles her nose. "I cannot tell."
"It's faint cologne," he answers stiffly. "It adds a certain class and panache."
"Right." She peers over Tony's shoulder. "McGee!"
"Okay, you're just fooling with me." He laughs as he turns in the direction she is looking. His laughter dies on his lips. "Hey, Timmy."
"Tony." McGee stares at him warily. "What are you doing at my desk?"
"He says he is looking for his cologne," Ziva answers from behind him.
"You don't wear cologne," McGee says to him.
"Now how would you know that, McKnowItAll? Should I be alarmed?"
"No. I know you don't wear cologne, because if you did, there would be no question about you showering three times a week."
"Oh. Right." Tony pauses.
Gibbs strides in. "Gear up! We got a case!"
"Oh but Boss! I haven't found my cologne yet!" he protests.
"You wear cologne, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asks incredulously.
"Why doesn't anyone believe that I wear cologne?"
"Because, Tony, if you wore cologne, I would not be able to smell you from here. And believe me, you do not smell like flowers," Ziva supplies from behind him.
"Roses, Ziva, and if I did smell like roses I'd be wearing perfume, not cologne." He smiles at McGee. "Probie's the one who uses feminine hand lotion. You should ask him about the rose-scented perfume."
"I'm not the one smelling like week-old socks here, Tony," McGee retorts.
"Yeah, you just smell of roses."
"You kids done with your chattin'?" Gibbs asks impatiently. "C'mon, we got a case!"
"On it!" all three Gibblets reply, grabbing their backpacks and following him out of the bullpen.
