Chapter Twenty-Nine: Unusually Unusual

She's unusually unusual

She introduced herself as Amy, said call me Caroline for short

She said I just moved in three doors down so I wouldn't be the girl next door.

And I knew the shoes she wasn't wearing fit her just right

She said, "Hey man, did you know that somebody left the grass out in the yard all night?"

Timothy McGee grabbed the newspaper off of his lawn, looking at the front page. Oh, look, the Director of NCIS was resigning so she could get married to her senior agent. Fascinating.

"Hello," a voice said, drawing McGee out of the newspaper world.

McGee looked up and saw a bright, cheery looking girl. She had black hair that was up in pigtails and the most dazzling green eyes that McGee had ever seen. "Hi," he replied.

"I'm Abby," she said, holding her hand out. "You can call me Caroline for short."

McGee shook her hand. "Uh… o…okay."

"Or if you like Abby, that's fine, too." She smiled.

"I like Abby," McGee replied. "It's a pretty name." He looked down and saw that she wasn't wearing any shoes…

"I just moved into the neighborhood," Abby continued. "I live three doors down. This way I won't be the girl next door."

She was nut job. That's for sure. "Oh, well… okay."

"Hey, man," she said.

McGee interrupted her. "Please, call me Tim."

"Tim," she said, smiling. "Did you know that somebody left the grass out in the yard all night?"

What the hell?

She's unusually unusual

Absolutely unpredictable, yes she is

She's so different and that's what's wonderful, yeah

She's unusually unusual

And that's beautiful to me

"So what do you do for a job?" McGee asked his peculiar new neighbor.

"I'm a forensics specialist," she replied.

"Oh, cool," McGee said. "I'm a writer. I'm writing a book."

"That's so cool!" Abby paused. "Do you online game? You know, play virtual computer games online?"

McGee's face lit up. "Oh, yeah! I have this character on this one site, and he's an elf…"

She had a tattoo above her ankle of a trident submarine

She said it symbolizes awesome powers hidden deep within our dreams

And her diamond eyes, different in color, held me captive in their light

And she said, "Hey man, did you know we used to be brothers, yeah, in some past life?"

McGee looked down at her ankle. "Is that a tattoo?"

Abby looked down at her ankle. "Oh, yeah, it's a trident submarine. It symbolizes awesome powers hidden deep within our dreams."

"Cool," McGee said. She looked up and met his eyes. That's when he noticed that one of her eyes wasn't really green, it was more of a blue. The other one was green, though. Strange, but they drew McGee in like a bug to a lightbulb.

"Did you know we used to be brothers?" Abby said, gesturing to herself and McGee.

"Uh… excuse me?"

"Yeah, we were," Abby said. "I can tell. I have this sort of sixth sense where I can just tell things. We used to be brothers in some past life."

"That's… that's wonderful."

She's unusually unusual

Absolutely unpredictable

She's so different, and that's what's wonderful

She's unusually unusual

And that's beautiful to me

Oh, some people may think she's strange

A different cup of tea

But she just does it for me

"Did you hear about the new girl that moved in next door?" Ziva asked.

Her husband Tony looked at her. "Uh… no, why?"

"She's so peculiar. A… misfit, yes? She's so… weird."

"Weird in a good way or weird in a bad way?" Tony asked, sitting down beside her.

"She's so unpredictable. She came up to me and said that I used to have six eyes before I fully evolved into a human being."

"Creepy…" Tony said. "Kind of reminds me of this movie I watched once…"

She's unusually unusual

She's so different and that's what's wonderful

A/N: Some cute McAbby fluff. I heard this song, thought it fit to Abby a bit, then realized it said "Amy" which is her character's name in Deep Six, so I just flipped out and said "McAbby fic!" Yeah. Thanks for the reviews I got and please review again now!
