Both CSIMel and Karieflybaby requested Little Miss Muffet, so here it is!

PARINGS: MCABBY/TATE

Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS.

Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet,

Abby was in her lab. The rest of her team was out on a crime scene, and she had been left alone. God, she really hated days like this. No Kate to talk to, no Caf-Pow! from Gibbs, and worse of all, no McGee to tease.

Sighing, Abby fetched her farting elephant stuffed animal and flopped onto a chair. She was hungry. A longing for cheese and crackers rose in her tummy, and she was more than happy to oblige.

Eating her curds and whey

The snack room fridge was stockpiled with cans of soda, diet shakes, salad, and someone's old sandwich. Pushing a couple of things aside, Abby found a nice sized container of cream cheese. Licking her lips hungrily, she popped the lid and sniffed the aroma coming out.

Bending down to look for crackers, Abby's keen eyes spotted something else: a bag of freshly toasted bagels that were just begging for her attention.

Grabbing the bag, Abby walked quickly back to her lab, where she flipped on some loud music and settled down to eat. Taking a plastic knife, she smeared fluffy cream cheese over the still warm bagel.

Practically drooling now, Abby got up to fetch some milk from her personal fridge, which was usually filled with Caf-Pow, but now stood empty. Alas, when she came back, her bagel, her cheese, and her purloined bag of bagels, were all gone.

Along came a spider, who sat down beside her

Sighing, Abby set her milk on her desk and peered underneath it. "You can come out now, McGee."

Timothy McGee was scrunched under the table with the bagel supplies. Abby was not pleased to see that her prepared bagel had several bites out of it.

Straightening from his hiding place, McGee gave Abby a nervous smile. She smiled coyly back and snatched the bagel.

"I thought you were doing field work," Abby said as she ripped off a chunk.

McGee shrugged. "Gibbs sent me back. Said the crime scene was small enough for Kate and Tony to manage alone. He was worried that you were lonely."

Abby grinned. "Oh, that is so sweet!"

McGee arched his eyebrows and pulled up a chair. "Can I have one?" he asked, motioning to the bagels. Abby tossed him the bag.

"Help yourself."

There were a few moments of silence between the two, with only the loud blaring music to stop the crickets from coming. Finally, McGee broke the silence and helped himself to Abby's glass of milk.

"I think something's up with Kate and Tony."

"Really?"

"At the scene today, they seemed to be more…" He struggled for words. "More sexually charged with each other."

Abby snorted and squeezed her elephant toy. McGee startled at the sound it made. "If you ask me, I'd say that they were both treated to great sex last night."

"Well that's just coincidence then. I mean, both of them? On the same night?"

Abby shook her head. McGee could be so naive some times. "Probie, Probie, Probie," she scolded, using Tony's pet name for him, "I meant that they treated each other to great sex last night. You know, like what we did last week?"

McGee almost fell out of his chair. Straightening, he argued, "But Kate and Tony? It seems so-" He suddenly froze, his mouth half open.

Abby frowned. "What?"

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

In a soft voice, McGee whispered, "Don't be scared, but there is a HUGE spider behind you."

Abby swung around. Sure enough, a hairy tarantula was crawling its way toward the two. McGee swallowed visibly and closed his mouth. "Don't worry. I won't let it hurt you."

Abby didn't hear him. Giving a squeal, she launched herself at the spider and picked it up.

"Fluffy Pooh! There you are. I've been looking all over the place for you!"

There was a dull thunk as McGee fainted behind her.

Fin

So who was Miss Muffet? I'm not really sure. The roles kinda changed around a lot. First Miss Muffet was Abby, but at the end she became McGee, who was originally the spider. Hmm...

Theoretical: Baa baa black sheep is next on my list of stuff to write.

CSIMel: I just had a wonderful idea for Itsy Bitsy Spider, and I'm so going to go ahead and write it after I'm done with Baa Baa Black Sheep.
