Oh, I love this one! The first kill ... a perfect fit for the challenge ;) And almost exactly the way Jen reacted in my story when she had to kill for the first time. GMTA *g*

What story??? *me wants to read it* And thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked this =) I'm only recently trying out the drabble style lol and I'm always worried about going on too long with the stories... I was actually surprised when I managed to convey all I wanted in only 234 words XD

My diary. Maybe I will translate this part some day ;)
Basically, it's just that Jenny killed (by accident) someone in Serbia and Jethro covered for her (like he mentioned in "Frame up" and "Probie"), because the whole mission was in jeopardy. And the next time she had to shoot someone she hesitated (like McGee did in "Probie")

Drabbles are fun and once you figured that out you get addicted. Normally a drabble is exactly 100 words long (a double drabble 200 and a triple drabble 300 words). Everything in between normally isn't a real drabble - but no one cares ;)
Trying to hit 100/200/300 words exactly is even more fun. Or try out ncis1000words, where you are supposed to hit exactly 1,000 words. The more challenging the better (although writing without a limit is also fun).

Meh, I knew there was a reason why I wanted to speak German XD I checked your NaNo journal and I'd give anything to be able to read the entries! But oh well, I can only keep making the puppy dog eyes and hope you'll translate them one day lol!

Oh yeah, I'd love to be able to actually hit exactly 100, 200 or 300 words, but I guess you need practice for that lol! Hopefully I'll make it, one day =)

I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE YOU. The last line, when you mention the rules, is perfect. :D
That's all. ♥

[marciafan]

Awww, thankiess ♥♥♥ I wanted to fit Gibbs' rules in there somehow lol! And you'll never believe this, but I've been debating for the longest time whether she should call him "Jethro" or just "Gibbs" XD

[nessa_derevko]

Totally understand your battle there. lol. Gibbs is less intimate but most of the times she adressed him with that name. And Jethro, well, the way she said it always sounded different to me. More like "Jethrooo", intimate, sexy, wtv. I AM WEIRD. And probably it is only my imagination, because after watching Kill Ari I where she says "Jethroo" (right before he said "madame director"*) I got stuck with how her voice sounded saying that name. SHUTTING UP NOW.
So, on your fic...Gibbs fits better, I believe. LOL.

*No, I do not know that scene by heart nor their lines. Nooo! :'D I'm hopeless, aren't I? xD

[marciafan]

Hahahaha, you're not hopeless LOL I know their lines by heart too, and not only the lines but also the way they deliver them XD And yes, I thought eventually that Gibbs was going to work better, because if it was her first kill it probably meant she hadn't been working with him that long...therefore nothing was likely to have happened between them, yet. Although I wanted to hint to some Jibbs in Gibbs' reaction upon losing the contact with her ♥ Now, I am definitely hopeless XD
