Thursday night

Following Tony into his apartment, McGee hung up his coat while Tony went to get soda to accompany their pizza. McGee then moved to the living room and started toward the huge TV. "Tony, you want me to start the movie?"

As Tony came into the living room, he looked at McGee and replied, "Actually Probie, we have some business to attend to first."

Nervously, Tim looked up from the DVD player and said, "Okay…"

"McSlow, I decided it is time for you to make a move." Tony started his pep talk bluntly, but not too insensitively.

"What is wrong with my house," McGee asked looking utterly surprised and Tony loving every bit of it.

"Well, there are quite a few things wrong with your place, but that is not what I meant. I mean more of a figurative move."

Frowning McGee pushed for more clarity, "Tony could you get to the point instead of taking your time to leave me confused?"

In a typical DiNozzo manner, Tony smiled before continuing, "I kinda like you being confused. And I am getting there McImpatient!" Tony paused to test McGee's patience further and then kept going, "I am just going to come out and say it. You should really ask Abby out already."

Instantly, McGee looked timid and a cherry red color started creeping down his forehead. "Uh..we..um have tried that before Tony and..uh..it didn't really work out. Why?"

"It is obvious you both like each other and you have to make the first move. Although Abby is….outgoing, she won't take the first step and you have to take initiative." Tony watched McGee take in the information.

"Tony, it's not that easy. I'm not like you, I can't smoothly hit on any girl and have them instantly give me their number." McGee secretly envied Tony's smooth-talking and easy-going ways, but could never seem to learn his charm.

Seeing Tim's lack of confidence in the area of ladies, Tony started a new approach. "Now Probie not all girls are that easy to get dates with," Tony not only said this to enhance McGee's confidence, but also to reminded him of a certain Israeli, who he was too chicken to approach.

"You could if you really tried. I just nervous and what if Abby does not really like me?" McGee started to be honest with Tony, but was still guarded.

Tony took aside his own pride to show McGee he was sincere and that he cared for him under the constant joking. "Listen Tim, Consider this some brotherly advice. Most of my relationships have meant nothing and most girls don't remember me a week after we met, but you Probie can have a meaningful relationship by forgetting your timidity, no pun intended, and being a flirt like me in this one instance."

Hearing Tony use his real name, Tim knew Tony really cared and he took the conversation to heart, "What if she really doesn't want me to ask her out though?"

"McGee, she likes you so of course she wants you to ask her out. You both have changed since you tried this the first time so just give it a shot." Tony slapped McGee on the shoulder and started the movie. McGee smiled at Tony and turned his attention to the movie.
