March 19 –continuation of March 15
How to tell is someone is good friend material: She goes to a kid movie with you so you don't have to go alone.
Abby hovered outside the Director's office. It had only been a few hours since the redhead had been in her lab and asked for movie times.
The Goth did not think any differently about the Director for wanting to see a kid movie. She did not think anyone was immature for wanting to go to one without a kid. Regardless, Jenny should not have to go alone. She probably only spent a short amount of time away from her office anyway and she should have some company for some of those hours.
Cynthia was not around, and Abby found herself pacing up and down. She needed to go in, but she could not pluck up the courage. Unlike the others, she was prepared to stand up to Gibbs, which showed her inner strength. The others bowed to Gibbs' will, with the possible exception of the Director, who stood up to him because she was supposed to.
Drat! Why was this so hard? All she had to do was walk in, probably interrupt an important phone call, and ask the Director if she could go to a kid movie with her. Not difficult at all. Although there was always the possibility that Jenny was in MTAC…
The door opened and Abby jumped a foot. Her heart in her mouth, she whirled around to see Jenny, piles of folders in her hands, looking as surprised as she felt.
"Can I help you, Abby?" the redhead asked, recovering first. She placed the folders carefully onto Cynthia's desk and indicated that they could adjourn to her office.
Abby's feet were rooted to the floor. "I was wondering if you wanted some company tonight," she blurted out.
Jenny raised her eyebrows. "If you want to come along, I was planning to leave at 7," she told the Goth.
Abby smiled, feeling relieved. "You shouldn't go to a kid movie on your own," she admitted. "I'll be here at 7."
