Recipients: Tim McGee, Abby Scuito
Tim: Abby, whatcha doing?
Abby: Why?
Tim: You're not getting into more trouble, are you?
Abby: Why are you asking? It isn't fair! No one will just leave me alone!
Tim: Behave, Abby. I'm just checking. Remember yesterday? I helped you after YOU got yourself into a ton of trouble. I don't want to have you come rescue you again today.
Abby: I don't ever need you to rescue me! I'm fine on my own!
Tim: You didn't seem to think so last night when you were wiggling around in the car pouting because you got spanked by Gibbs and told to stop disobeying him.
Abby: I guess. You're right. Thanks for taking me for ice cream. It helped.
Tim: Glad to help. So, you'll try to stay out of trouble?
Abby: Maybe. ;)
Tim: Abby!
Abby: What?
Tim: Never mind. There is a figure skating show tonight that I got tickets for. Want to go with me?
Abby: The "Swan Lake on Ice" show?
Tim: That's the one.
Abby: For real?!
Tim: Yes. Want to go?
Abby: Of course! That will be so fun! Oh, and did you have anything to do with the lovely bouquet of black roses delivered to the lab five minutes ago?
Tim: Maybe. ;)
