When he started this he thought it would be a clever idea, if Tom Hanks could do it surely he'd have no problem, after all he was a ladies man. He sat at his desk staring at his computer screen. He was logged into the NCIS chat room as Agent007. He saw Kate's username under the online list. He had brought up a conversation window for the teo of them but hadn't quite figured out how to start it without sounding creepy or weird. He thought about cracking a joke as a starter or say something witty. But everything he typed he deleted.
This was a hell of a lot harder then her had imagined. He sighed and tried a new idea he began typing
"Roses are red, violets are blue, Daisy's are pretty and I'm guessing from your name so are you"
He smiled at it then deleted it once more.
"Tony if you stare at that computer screen any harder it's gonna start talking to you" McGee commented.
Tony didin't even turn to look at him "Shut up McGeek, I'm concentrating"
"On what? We haven't had a case in a week" Tim replied
Kate laughed from her desk "If DiNozzo's staring at a computer that hard it must be x-rated"
McGee laughed with her.
Tony popped his head above his computer screen and squinted at her whilst tilting his head "Well aren't we in a chirpy mood this morning"
"Hmmm well it's better then being like the prince of darkness like you this morning, you've been like a zombie at that computer" she went to continue but he interrupted her
"What did you just say?"
"I said you've been like a zombie…"
"No..no" He interrupted again "Before that"
"Prince of Darkness?"
"Yes..that's it. Prince…Princess…Princess of Darkness is Abby. She'll know what to do" He shouted out. "Kate, McGee You two are geniuses" He called as he ran down to the elevator.
The other two agents looked at one another equally looking puzzled "Is he ok?" Tim asked
"He's DiNozzo, nothing about him is ok" Kate stated
McGee couldn't really argue with that.
"Add a little sodium hydroxide and Ka-Boom" Abby shouted and she flung her arms out and swung round congratulating herself at her work when she saw Tony standing behind her. "Tony!" She squealed. "I finally extracted the chemical which was soaked into this piece of bark. I thought at one point it would be impossible because you know the weather conditions hadn't been that…"
"Abbs?" He interrupted before she got too carried away
"Yeah?" She asked
"That's great but I need your help."
"Okay, what's up?" She smiled
"You're good with words and stuff right"
She frowned not really understanding where this was going "Erm…I guess so.."
"Ok, well there's this girl and I want to talk to her but I can't be myself" he started
She was already puzzled by this.
"I know her, but she thinks I'm a total jerk and won't give me a chance in hell so I need to get her to know me in a different way, so I decided to accidently meet her through a chat room, the NCIS one and let her get to know me that way. That way she'll realise there's more to well….me"
"Did you get this idea off a film by any chance?" She asked him looked confused.
He shrugged "Maybe, you ever seen you've got mail?"
"Oh I love that film. And at the end where she's waiting for him and you're wondering will he turn up and then the dog runs up and she realises it was him all along…"
"Alright abbs concentrate"
"Anyway I need someway to start it off, but everything I come up with sounds…well…too cheesy"
Abby laughed softly "Well if I were you I'd pretend I need help with something like help with a random factor on a quite well known case. That way you don't sound 'cheesy' and it's a great conversation starter."
He raised his eyebrows and considered the idea "A good conversation starter hey? Thanks abbs" He turned to walk away "Oh and by the way could you ke…"
It was her turn to interrupt "My lips are sealed" she beamed a smile at him.
He smiled back and made his way up there.
He ran round to his computer and began instantly typing away.
Minutes later he heard the instant messenger sound pop up on kate's computer.
She read the question coming from a Agent 007 and replied to it.
.
Todd75:That case was closed in 2003, due to a lack of evidence found at the scene.
.
Tony smiled at the reply, this was his chance to continue the conversation, if he messed it up that was it ruined, play it right he was one step closer to Kate.
.
Agent007: Thanks I couldn't remember and there were no colleagues around to ask. Sorry to bother you.
.
He waited patiently in hope of a reply. A minute passed, two, two and a half. He almost gave up hope when a reply popped up
.
Todd75:Don't worry it was no problem. Can I ask why you wanted to know, that case has been closed for five years, why bring it up now?
.
Tony sighed with relief and relaxed back into his chair. He had done it. He had officially started the 'you've got mail' mission. The mission to conquer Kate's heart and to eliminate her disgust with him.
