A subway cookie for desert, a fresh coffee and your story ... a perfect way to relax on a Monday after work

*grins* I'm so happy I could help you get rid of your bad mood! And I'm so so so so happy that you liked the fic *hugs you tight*

Ahh, Jibbs dating... something uncommon and oh-so-rare lol. But I do think they have their own way of dating. Like when in season 3 Gibbs brought her dinner in her office, remember that? I'm convinced that was their own kind of date, somehow. So if they have take-out at his or her place (and then highly inappropriate things follow after dinner lol), that's their kind of date. And I find it just so sweet and cute that they can be comfortable with each other and just stay in and have dinner together without having to dress up, or go out, or anything. Says a lot, in my opinion, about just how intimate they are with each other. More like a married couple than two people dating ♥

That's true. Although I'm sure, he brought her dinner also because he 'needed' her for the case - and asked for advise the first time. He was playing her a bit in "Family Secret" (and apologizing for being mean to hear earlier) and in "Iced" he needed her permission to get the bad guy killed.
(But that was only my objective part of my brain speaking - or the aftermath of Jenny's rational way of thinking in her diary last November *g).
My shipper heart feels the way you do, and I think it's great to see that they still know each other so well (and feel comfortable) that they don't need these fancy restaurants or things like that. *nods*

Will you write a sequel? *puppy eyes* ;)

[marciafan]

Me needs to re-watch both those episodes, LOL. But ignore the brain and leave room to the shipper heart...isn't that a sweet (in a Jibbs way lol) way of dating? It melts my heart to see them together, because they're just so perfect for each other ♥

Sequel, hmm? *sighs dramatically* You, my friend...you inspire me. You mentioned the word sequel and I had flashes of Jenny and Jethro in his basement...working on the boat, so to speak XD
If I write a sequel it'll be at least a bit smutty, do you mind? *bites her lip nervously*

[marciafan]

No, thanks to you for commenting!! I'm glad you liked it *grins*

[marciafan]

"A-date-no-date" LOL you sound like Alice In Wonderland's Mad Hatter now XD But I like that. And I'm so happy you liked it! Now, because Nici asked so nicely, I think I will write a sequel ;)
Something tells me you will like the idea :P

[ami_ven]

Too wonderful! I love how Jenny thinks of them as "the kids" *g*

[marciafan]

Thank you! LOL, I wanted to include that because that's how I always think of them XD when I talk about them I never say "the team", I always say "the kids". So it worked in the story and I decided to use it. I'm glad you liked it!! =)

I'm really glad Nici made you post this. ♥ And you are doing a sequel, yes? I probably could've found that out in other comments, but I'm too lazy to scroll down. XD

[marciafan]

LOL I am. My idea is to have it ready by Sunday, but you know me and writings plans; never work out XD But I will write a sequel, definitely =)

[cici1018]

Good. =] Look forward to reading it. ♥
