Day 13
Characters: McGee/Kate; Kate, Tony

"You know, maybe we're being too hard on him."

Tony gave Kate a look of disbelief. "Come on, Kate! It's a tradition."

"It's hazing, and I don't think it's fun anymore." Kate frowned and crossed her arms.

"Jeez, Kate, what's gotten into you?"

"McGee's proven he can be a productive member of the team, and I think the trial period should be over."

"What, and I haven't?"

"That's not what I said."

"But it's what you meant."

"No, it wasn't!" Kate sighed. "Look, Tony, I know I was ready to shoot you by this point. How much worse do you think it is for McGee? I mean, there are two of us now."

Tony rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Kate. You know, I think you've got a crush on the little..."

"Tony! I do not!"

An evil grin spread over Tony's features. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Kate scowled.
