Hey Diddle Diddle is Nix707's favorite rhyme, and because she was the first to review, I did Hey Diddle Diddle (also known as the the rhyme where the cow jumps over the moon.)

This one is neutral. No (obvious) shippiness! However, I guess if you read between the lines, you'll see something.


Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey, diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,

McGee was dressed as a cow.

That was the first thing everyone noticed as they stepped into Abby's lab. She had called and told them that she'd found a match on the DNA found at the crime scene. Gibbs wasn't so sure that she'd been working on the DNA at all.

Abby gave a little clap as when she saw them come in. "Kate! Tony! Gibbs! You came!" Turning around, she called to the back of the room, "Ducky! You can start playing now!" Fiddle music filled the lab.

"I didn't know Ducky played the fiddle," Tony whispered to Kate.

Abby was suddenly in front of them, handing out dishes of ice cream sundaes. "Oh no!" she cried, looking at what she held in her hands. "I've only got two spoons." She handed them to Kate and Gibbs. "Sorry Tony." She ran off to prepare for whatever she wanted them to see.

Tony stood with a gaping mouth staring at her retreating form. His eye twitched. Kate laughed and scooped up some ice cream, but gave a squeal as Tony tried to grab her spoon. He missed.

"Naughty boy," she scolded, wagging her finger at him. Poor Tony had no choice but to eat the ice cream with his hands.

The cow jumped over the moon.

"Lady and gentlemen!" The three turned to look at Abby, who now stood in front of McGee the cow with a wheel of cheese. "I present to you, McGee the magic cow!"

Here, McGee gave a pathetic sounding "Moo…"

Tony choked on his ice cream.

Abby dropped the cheese on the ground and continued. "McGee is going to so something totally unheard of before. Are you ready?"

The audience nodded. Gibbs looked skeptical.

"You see this cheese McGee?" she asked, pointing to the ground.

McGee nodded.

"Good. It's very important to me, so I don't want you to step on it."

"Um, okay," he wasn't really sure where this conversation was going. Abby had paged him earlier that day and asked him to come down to her lab. He'd gone, and she stuffed him into the cow costume. If he did what she asked, she promised that she'd show him her tattoos. Looking at the cheese, McGee wasn't sure if it was such a great idea after all.

Without warning, Abby kicked his butt, sending him flying forward. McGee was just about to step on the cheese, but remembering Abby's warning, he managed to step over it.

Abby turned triumphantly to Kate, Tony, and Gibbs. "McGee the cow has successfully jumped over the moon!"

The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

In the moments of hysterical laughter that followed, Tony managed to steal Kate's spoon.
