Abby!
All that glitters is gold...
-All Star, Smash Mouth
I'm not sure how I feel about this speech, but it's the longest yet. I think I kinda managed to capture Abby's character.
What do you think about it?
"I can't believe this day is finally here!" Abby almost screamed as she clapped in excitement. "I mean, I knew you guys would eventually get together and realise how you were MADE FOR EACH OTHER!" Abby was almost jumping up and down. Everyone just shook their heads and laughed, knowing that they would never be able to calm Abby down today. "I can't tell you how long I've wanted you to get together! I'd make McGee have these secret little meetings with me and try and give him ways to make you get together!" Everyone looked over to McGee.
"It's true." McGee laughed, shaking his head at how ridiculous it sounded.
"I admit, I get way too crazy when it comes to both of you. You're two of my favourite people and I can't explain the love I feel for you both! I remember that occasionally Tony would come down and talk to me about Ziva, and eventually he admitted his feelings. I was dying at this point, as you can imagine. I tried to get him to tell her but he wouldn't, so I had to keep it secret, and as most of you know, I hate keeping secrets!" The nodding of heads was all that could be seen. "Then the same happened with Ziva. We started spending our lunch break together and all she would talk about was DiNozzo. One day, she just let it slip that she had feelings for him. I tried so hard for both of them to tell each other but they refused in every way possible! At that point, I actually gave up. I know that's hard to believe, but ask McGee if you don't." Everyone was actually quite surprised, they all turned towards McGee.
"She did. I have to admit, when Abby gives up, everyone does." McGee confirmed, continuing the story.
"Then a couple of weeks later, McGee comes running down to my lab, yelling my name. Apparently, Tony had told him that they'd ended up going on a date and were seeing how things would go. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of Tony and Ziva getting together!" Abby laughed at how silly it all was.
"I've known these two for a fair amount of years now, and I can honestly say that my life would be so boring without them. Ziva, you're incredible in every way possible and you're my best friend. You've always been someone I can turn to when things get bad and not many people are that reliable. I'll never forget our movie nights that turn into drunken nights out. There's been a few, and let me tell you, they get pretty crazy. I'm so glad I met you. I mean, I did hate you at first but all that's in the past now." Abby winked. Everyone on Team Gibbs laughed, remembering how Abby use to act towards Ziva when they first met. "Tony, you're my goofy, protective big brother. You act silly most of the time, which I love, but you're the kindest person I know. There's never been a time where you haven't been there for me or made me laugh when I'm sad. You're awesome, so don't forget it! I'm SO happy for you both and now you'll be able to share the rest of your lives with each other! You guys rock! Mr and Mrs DiNozzo everybody!" Abby raised her glass and everyone joined in, shouting and cheering at the top of their voices.
I hope you're all ok!
There's still three more speeches to come btw...
