To Walk In My Shoes

As always thank you for your follows, favorites and especially to the ones who have taken the time to review my story. I really do appreciate it.

To NCIS fan - I had originally wrote in one of the chapters that Senior had threatened to disown his son but I decided at the last moment to take it out. I figured that some of the stuff Tony told his teammate was just a fabrication to make them have a good laugh. After all Tony is known as the class clown.

It the first part of this chapter you are going to find out what happen when Tony meets a Rockette. I was really debating on whether to write this one or not. I thought this might be one of those things you just leave up to everyone's imagination but then I got thinking it might be a lot of fun do it. So…here is my version of how Tony may or may not have lost his virginity. I hope you like?

CHAPTER 10

Tony was thrilled because he and his friends had front row seats and could see everything that was going on from where they were seated. The fifteen-year-old boy had never seen so many beautiful women in all his life. When the show was near its end, the Rocketts came out and did their high kick routine in a chorus line. Tony's hormones went into overdrive when he thought he saw one of the women wink at him. Tony applauded so hard his hands hurt.

As Steve and Matt started to get up to leave Tony stopped them. He told them he was going to try to sneak backstage. He wanted to meet the woman who winked at him. Both of his friends started laughing and telling him that she probably had something in her eye. Tony shook his head because he knew deep down inside she winked at him because she liked him as much as he liked her. He told them they could leave but he wasn't going anywhere until he meets her. Tony stood up and headed toward the backstage entrance with his two friends in tow.

Just as Tony and his friends entered the backstage area, a very big man stepped in front of them, "Sorry boys, but I can't let you come back here unless you have some backstage passes or you know somebody who works here."

Tony felt his heart drop down to his stomach. He wanted so badly to meet this woman so he decided to try to plead with this man to let him in, "But…sir I just want to meet the..."

"Joe…it's okay we invited them." As soon as the man heard the voice he grinned and stepped back.

All three boys had a silly goofy grin on their faces as they saw three of the most beautiful women dressed in skimpy green elf costumes walking toward them. Tony smiled because the woman who spoke was the same woman who had winked at him. She looked at Tony and said in her sexiest voice, "My name is Gail and this is Mary and Heidi."

Tony introduced then himself and his friends.

She smiled, "Come on boys and follow us…we got a few minutes before our next show. We can take you on one of our special tours." She glanced at the other woman and winked.

Tony turned and gave his two friends that look like I told you so. He then turned and ran to catch up with the women.

When the special tour was over Gail invited Tony back to her dressing room for very private meeting. Tony looked at his friends and grinned. He couldn't believe this was really happening to him. A woman like her wanted him.

Once Tony and Gail were inside the dressing room, the Rockette slowly shut the door. It was at that moment when he heard the door lock click that the boy started to get a little nervous. What was he going to do if she wanted to have sex with him? He had never been with a girl before and now he was here standing in this woman's dressing room. He realized he was not ready for this.

Gail walked over to one of the mirrors and began adding more bright red lipstick to her lips. She brushed her hair back a little with her fingers. It won't to be long before her next performance and she needed to get this over with. She continued to look in the mirror as she said, "So…Tony I heard what you told your two friends back there."

Tony was caught off guard. He now looked like a deer caught in headlights, "W…what ma'am? What…what did I say?"

She grinned when she saw the boy's reaction to what she just accused him of. She knew he couldn't be more than fifteen or sixteen. "I heard you tell them that I was hot for your body."

Tony's eyes were huge, "Ma'am I…I didn't really mean anything by it. I…I…just…" Tony wanted to run out of the room but he was too in shock to move.

She turned and walked slowly toward him. Tony backed up against the wall and didn't know what else to do. She moved closer so she was only inches from his face. She smiled, "Relax Tony…I just want to give you something to tell your friends. She kissed him on the cheek. She grins and steps back to look at her work. Tony touches his cheek and looks into the mirror. He smiles and thanked her when he sees the lipstick. As he starts to head for the door she tells him to look her up in ten years.

As soon as Tony, Steve and Matt get outside the building Tony tells his two best friends that he was no longer a virgin. He was now a man and it felt so great. He also warned his two friends not to tell anyone because he didn't want Gail to get in trouble. Both Steve and Matt patted Tony on the back and told him he was their hero…

Gibbs smiled and whispered to the boy Tony that his secret will always be safe with him. Just as he whispered he found himself in the boarding school's auditorium and it was crowded with students and their families. Gibbs saw Tony with his two friends while Senior was talking with Cussons.

Today…Tony, Steve and Matthew were graduating and in a few months they would be heading off to different colleges. Tony was pretty upset about it and he did not want anyone to know. Both Steve and Matt was the closest thing to Tony having brothers. He hated to say it but the two boys were more family than his own father was to him.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Headmaster Cussons greeted everyone and introduced the staff and talked about his students and their future. When he was finished he introduced several guest speakers. After the guest speakers took their turns talking it was now the class valedictorian time turn. This year that honor fell to Matt. For few weeks he had been working on his speech in secret. He didn't want his two friends to know what his speech was going to be about. He wanted it to be a surprise. The first half of the speech, Matt thanked his parents, his teachers and Mister Cussons for helping to get him where he is today. He talked about the future and how this class might change the world. The last part of the speech was about friendship and brotherhood. Matt told the class when he had first come to the school he liked being a loner but then he met two boys who helped to change his thinking. He now knew loners do not grow they just stay in their little world. When you share your world with others you expand your world to include their world and you can grow with them as they grow with you. He looked at both Tony and Steve and thanked them for being his friends and helping him to grow into who he is today.

While Tony listened to his friend's speech he couldn't help but look around the room. He spotted his friend Jake. Jake had brought his wife and his little boy Darrell to Tony's graduation. Tony had not seen Jake in a few years but had always stayed in contact with him by phone. The last time he talked to Jake he invited him to his graduation and Jake told him he wouldn't miss it for the world.

Next, Tony looked at his dad. At one point Senior made eye contact with him and winked. Tony grinned back at him. In the back of Tony's mind he felt a little guilty because he always believed that his dad was going to find some excuse not to come but now here his dad was. Senior was waiting like the rest of the parents for his son to graduate. Tony was never so proud of dad at the moment.

When it finally came time for the diplomas to be handed out Tony, Mathew & Steve stood proudly in line waiting for their names to be called. Tony's name was first. He walked onto the stage and grinned as he heard the applauding. He could hear his friends Steve, Matthew and even Jake whistling and yelling out his name.

Tony grinned as he was handed his diploma and shook Headmaster Cussons' hand. Tony turned and looked into the audience so he could see his dad's face. The smile immediately disappeared when he saw the seat was empty. The last time he looked his dad was seating next to the Whites. He looked through the audience and couldn't find his dad.

Cussons saw the change in the boy's face and looked in the direction the boy was looking. It didn't surprise him that the boy's father wasn't there. Earlier DiNozzo had asked him where the infirmary was. He mentioned something about jet lag and not feeling well. He thought the father would have at least waited until his son received his diploma before he took off.

The headmaster turned his attention back to the boy, "Anthony…"

Tony looked at him.

Cussons felt he needed to say something to let this boy know he wasn't alone. "Son…I am so proud of you. I know you have come a long way from when I first met you and I know you will make me proud at Ohio State."

That beautiful grin Tony only reserved on special occasions showed up. "Sir, I promise I will do my best not to disappoint you."

"Anthony I know you will…now how about getting off the stage so I can congratulate the rest of my students. We don't want Steve and Matthew getting too impatient now do we?"

Tony grinned and headed off the stage so he could get to his seat. He wanted to be there to root for his two best friends when they receive their diplomas. He was going to make sure they heard his voice above all the others.

When the ceremony was finally over Tony and his friends walked around and congratulated all the members of their class and saying their goodbyes to their teachers. When they were finished they headed to where Jake and their parents were waiting. Jake grabbed Tony and hugged him. He and his family had to leave so he wished Tony the best and to call him sometimes. After Jake left, Tony asked where his father was. Steve's father told him that his father mentioned something about not feeling well and heading to the infirmary. Tony became worried and decided to go look for his father to make sure he was okay. Steve and Matt wanted to come with him but he told them to stay with their parents. He wanted to do this on his own.

When Tony arrived at the infirmary there was nobody around. Tony felt so ashamed for thinking the worst about his dad. What if his dad was really sick and had to go to the emergency room? What if dad was dying and he selfishly thought the worst of his dad because he was not there to watch him receive his stupid diploma? At that moment he was so angry with himself for thinking such bad things about his dad. He needed to find out what happened. As he headed toward the door he heard a noise coming from the closet. He turned and headed toward it. As he got closer he could hear voices and noises. Whoever they were they were whispering. It look him a second to recognize one of the voices. It was his dad. He opened the door just enough to peek in. He saw his father and the school nurse were having sex. He slammed the door and ran out. He didn't care if his father heard him or not. He needed to get as far away as possible.

An hour later, both Steve and Matt found Tony sitting in their favorite basketball court. They could tell by the way Tony looked that he had be crying. They didn't have to ask way because they already knew it had to be something to do with Tony's father. They sat quietly with their friend and waiting to see if he wanted to talk about it or not. When Tony said nothing they told their hurt friend it was time for them to leave.

For their graduation gift the boys' parents had chipped in and rented a summer-house in Miami for them. None of the parents were worried about the boys being alone and getting into trouble because Matt's parents had rented another summerhouse not too far from them. This way someone could at least keep an eye on boys and make sure their sons stay out of trouble…

Gibbs couldn't get over how much of an ass Tony's father was. No matter how much Gibbs and his father argued when he was a boy, Jack was always there for the most important events in his life. His dad was there for his graduation and after the ceremony his dad had a big family get together so he brag about how proud he was of his son…
