Buttons. A discussion between the team as to who their pantomime counterparts would be. December 12th. Melissa's point of view.
'Favourite Pantomime?' Nate asks from the couch. We all turn to face him even Callen.
'Oooh tough one.' Deeks answers with a smile visibly in thought. 'Peter Pan.'
'You're a big kid that's why.' I quip. Kensi nods and Deeks shrugs acknowledging that I have a point. That was quick even for me. Sam laughs and G sits back in his chair.
'Dick Whittington.' Sam immediately joins in. Nice one Sam! Very British.
'Cinderella. It's got to be.' Kensi enthusiastically replies with a smile. I've got to say her answer surprises me. That's more of a girly pantomime.
'Melissa?' Nate prompts.
'Uh?' I was miles away thinking about Kensi's answer. I face Nate and G. 'Oh I don't have a favourite but I love Buttons from Cinderella. If I was any pantomime character I would reckon I would be him.'
'Why?' G enquires.
'Best friend to Cinderella. Gives advice, always there.'
'Melissa has a point she is a lot like him.' Deeks acknowledges and I nod in appreciation.
'I see her as more of a Cinderella myself.' G offers.
'Ok so who would you guys be? I would be Dick Whittington I think.' Nate changes the question for the others before I can say anything back to G. Dick Whittington for Nate definitely but me, Cinderella really? Heroine, Kind hearted and long suffering. Does G really see me that way?
'Prince Charming!' Deeks quickly responds.
'Peter pan more like,' Kensi jokes.
'Says the woman who would probably be someone like Jack from Jack and the beanstalk.'
'Hey Jack fights the giant and wins. I'm happy with that.'
'G would be Dick Whittington's cat and I'd probably be I don't know… Dandini.'
'That would make Callen prince charming!' Kensi points out. I look down. G smirks.
'I'll take what I can get!' Callen nods.
'Guys, come on who cares?' I interrupt and they all look at me in surprise.
'It's just a bit of fun Mels.' Deeks stands up and heads for a coffee.
'I know but still…'
So who would you say they would be? Reviews welcomed, sorry it's only a short one.
