A/N: Well here it is ladies and gentlemen, chapter two, go on and read now and review. I appreciate all your reviews from the first chapter, very niice! Leave me another when you finish reading this chapter! Heh, I hope you like this chapter. I couldn't really find a good song that I wanted so I decided to use this one. I know this chapter is short and kind of funky, but I like it hehe. Also, wow, I have been away from for a VERY long time!

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo

The incessant beeping of Abby's alarm clock pulled her out of an amusing dream. She hit the snooze button and flipped over onto her back and threw her arm over her eyes. A shaft of light from her blinds hit her directly on her face; she rolled away from it with a groan. The sudden crack of thunder made her jump and sit up.
"What the…" she trailed and flipped the covers from her body and she walked to her bedroom window. She was greeted with the sight of a torrential down pour. She smiled widely then went to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
She emerged from the shower in a perfume of steam. She dried her hair and looked in the mirror while she pulled her midnight black hair into two identical pigtails. She then carefully applied her makeup, smiled at herself, and went to her bedroom to pick out her outfit for the day. She stared at her reflection in the floor length mirror hanging on her wall. She was in a black dress, the skirt portion puffing out at her knees and a pair of black rain boots with tiny pink hearts on her feet. Over her ensemble was an all black rain coat. She smiled, grabbed her car keys and umbrella, and started for work.

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above

"A boyish notion of false emotion. These words are spoken, despite my love. A fool's devotion was set in motion. My eyes are open now." Abby sang along to The Birthday Massacre as it pounded through her speakers, but just as she emotionally smacked her hand against her steering wheel her hearse puttered and died. "Aw man…" she trailed as she pushed her door open and stepped out into the cold rain. Her hood was smoking, and she knew well enough not to attempt to open it. She looked down the street, she was only a few blocks away from the NCIS building, she figured she could walk and come for her hearse as soon as the rain let up.
She leaned through her open door and grabbed her umbrella; she pushed it open and looked up to the gray clouds rolling across the sky. She smiled into the rain and began walking towards work.
…
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain
…
"It's a glass cage so I can't pretend. You hide beneath the physical. I see it coming but I can't defend. You cut so deep, my belief is gone." Abby continued to sing the song she was listening to, and once the words failed her she just decided to hum as she walked.
She didn't notice until just two blocks from the building that not another soul was walking down the sidewalk. She smiled wide and went on walking, enjoying the rain and the feeling that she was alone in the world. She kicked her booted foot through a puddle and giggled as the cool water sprayed at her bare calves.
…
Dancin' in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...
…
A silly idea suddenly wormed its way into her head and she began to skip down the sidewalk. She did a few twirls and jumped into more puddles. She was completely soaked, but she didn't seem to notice. The rain pelted against her umbrella as she twirled it above her head. She shook her head and her pig tails whipped against her face.
"Ow," she groaned and rubbed her cheek. She had half a block to go so she settled down and walked into the main gate, flashed her I.D. to the guard who gave her a quizzical look. "My car broke down a few blocks away so I walked," she shrugged and shoved her I.D. back into her purse as she entered the NCIS grounds.

A/N: Sorry this one is so short, but the next one will be a bit longer. I hope you guys liked this chapter, let me know! Also, the next chapter will be one with a song playing in the background, it won't necessarily be relevant to the chapter, but it might. I'm just not sure I could find a song to go along with what I want to go down in the next chapter so I'm going to have some background noise. Review!
