Disclaimer: NCIS is obviously mine.

A/N: This is pointless and odd and I figured it would go in my "random drabbles", but it turned out too big so now it's out there as a rather strange oneshot. Please review and help in the "Get Rachy 1000 Reviews by 2007" cause!

P.S. It may be a little hard to know when I have 1000 reviews when the stoopid site is always conking out!! Arghh!!! Give me emails dammit!!! (Sorry!)On with the randomness…

"Your hair looks very pretty today," Tony commented as Kate took a seat behind her desk.

She gave him a questioning look.

"What? I'm just trying to give you a compliment!"

Kate's hand moved self-consciously to her fringe.

"What's the matter with it?" she asked.

"Nothing! It looks very nice!"

Her eyes narrowed.

"Why must you be so suspicious all the time?"

"It's kind of my job Tony."

"It upsets me greatly that we don't have a relationship where I can give you compliments and you can accept them without being so skeptical."

"It upsets you greatly huh?"

"Yes. We protect each other in the field, we can trust each other with our lives, and yet I can't tell you your hair looks pretty without you thinking I'm being sarcastic. It's just not right Kate."

"You're right. I'm sorry Tony. Thank you for the compliment. I shouldn't have doubted you."

Tony nodded and smiled. Kate smiled back.

Just then, Abby walked into the bullpen.

"Hey Kate! You have a rather large twig in your hair."
