[Drabble] Tony vs. the three Words
TITLE: Tony vs. the three Words
AUTHOR: nicis_anatomy
CHARACTERS: Anthony DiNozzo
GENRE: Gen
RATING: PG
WORD COUNT: 300
SUMMARY: Gibbs gives Tony a mission, he tries not to screw up ... - for challenge #170 "Anthony DiNozzo" at ncisdrabble100.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters (although I'd love to own Action Figure Gibbs), nor am I making any money from them. If I would Season 2 and 5 would have ended different. As usual, I had no idea for a title, so I went with this one (credit should maybe go to the writers of “Chuck”)
WARNING: not beta’d. No real spoiler, unless you haven’t seen more than the first three seasons.

This was maybe the hardest mission Gibbs had ever assigned him to; a mission so important that Tony did everything to not screw it up. Gibbs was counting on him, the director was counting on him, and so was the team.
He needed to succeed. He needed to proof that he was the right man for this.
The assignment came with its pressure but Tony liked this. Under pressure was when he used to work best.
He’d always spent time and effort on their cases - not necessarily obvious to others since he preferred to be an agent by night, working long hours, while spending the days playing a clown with a mission to make his co-worker’s lives as miserable as possible without getting hurt himself; a performance he had perfected in a long progress over the past years. He wasn’t the sluggard most people saw in him but he didn’t mind that stereotype thinking. He liked to surprise people. Besides, no one needed to know the real Tony, hidden behind the clown mask, vulnerable and sensitive.
Of course, his closest friends knew he was only playing his role, and he assumed that was one reason why Gibbs had chosen him. But no matter what had brought him here Tony had no intention to screw up. He even secretly aimed for Gibbs’ approval.
This time, he wanted to prove that he was the right man for this job, that Gibbs had made the right choice, despite what others were thinking.
“Ziva, you and Probie talk to the witness. McGee, go and help Abby.” Yes, he had everything under control, and it felt so damn good.
„On it boss!“ The three responded, simultaneously.
Okay ... hearing these three words was another reason why he loved this mission so much.
Tony smiled. “Campfire’s over!”
- The End -
