Jeez, it is almost 7, what the hell should I wear. I had been at this for almost two hours, and it had come down

to a blue or black dress. The black one was your typical black dress, swishing bottom, with a low cut neck line

and spaghetti straps. And damn I looked hot in it. The blue one had a receding neckline, and a thicker strap

that went strait across the front and over one shoulder, but not over the other, it was a baby blue color, and

came to a little below nee level, with a nice little slit up the side of the left. Gibbs was supposed to pick me up

at 8; the festivities began at 8:30. Suddenly I did something I would have never done in my entire time at NCIS;

ask for help. Dialing a familiar number, I waited as it rang. "Abby speaking, what can I do for you on this very

spooky night," I smile, so like Abby, turning everything into vampires and warlocks. "Hey Abbs, its Kate, umm

could I ask you a huge, huge favor," I chew on my lower lip; I always do that when I am nervous or annoyed,

this time it was the latter. "Hey Kate, sure what's sup, I was just leaving for Duckys party, want me to drop by

and pick you up," Sighing I debate whether to tell her that Gibbs is driving me, I do "Yea, you see that is the

problem, Gibbs offered to drive me…." I hear a shriek on the other end, "Oh my gosh you must be so freaked

out right now, I will be over in like 10," freaked out, I am way past freaked, and moving into suicidal, before I

could say anything, Abby hangs up. I sigh, I guess I can get going on my makeup, I don't think I want Abby

doing it. Not that she has bad taste, but I am not much for black mascar, and lipstick.

Close to ten minutes later I hear a nock at the door; I sure hope Gibbs isn't early. Did marines always show up

early or were they fashionably late? Looking through the peep whole, I see one funkily dressed Abby, standing

there patiently. I open the door and am immediately hugged, "Hey, thanks so much for coming over at such

short notice," she smiles, winking at me saying, "So somebody got someone's attention, so what is the

emergency? Cause Abby is here to save the day," I know exactly what she is hinting at but, "I don't know

what your talking about. The emergency is I can't decide which one to wear." Dragging Abby into my room

she starts inspecting the two dresses, wrinkling her nose she goes into my closet. Coming back out she says,

"Just what I expected, so I brought a little something to help," And from under her arm she pulls out the most

beautiful dress I had ever seen. It wasn't that I didn't have style I just never wore something quite so sexy or

feminine. It was a silky black, swooshy dress that tide behind your neck; your back was bear down to the

bottom of your mid spine. And was trimmed off with red, looking astonished I said, "Abbs, I can't wear…

that….its…its….way to………….forward………….and………and," Abby covers my mouth with her hand

saying, "And you will look absolutely smashing in it. Gibbs will swallow his little green marine tongue, now go

put it on." Abby could be bossy when she wanted to, I nodded, picking up the dress and retreating to the

bathroom.

45 minutes later, I had my hair curled and makeup on, and was just putting on my black high healed sandals

when I heard a nock on the door. "Damn, can't Gibbs ever be a little late," I say to Abby, wait Abby can't be

here, he will no I called her over to help, can't have him thinking I am incapable of dressing for a night out.

"Abby, here take my keys, and thank you so much but I am going to have to hide you in my room, until me and

Gibbs leave, and ummm could you lock my door on your way out," Abby smiles saying, "This is so much fun,

its like some old chick flick where you have to hide your boyfriend in the closet, except, your not my

boyfriend…I mean" I grab her arm and throw her in my room closing the door. Then, taking one last look in

the mirror I walk to the door and open it.
