[Drabble] The Escort
TITLE: The Escort
AUTHOR: nicis_anatomy
CHARACTER: Jenny Shepard, Ducky Mallard
GENRE: Gen, General, episode tag for 3.08 "Under Covers"
RATING: PG
WORD COUNT: 200
SUMMARY: "Our lovely Director has asked me to escort her." Written for prompt "Date" for drabble123.
WARNINGS: English still isn't my native language (although I wish) and the story is not beta'd.
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 5 would have ended different.
NOTE: This drabble is long overdue. adriannacoylho asked for it last November, when I told her I wrote Jenny, Ducky, MC Birthday Ball for my NaNo story. This is for her. A bit late, but finally written ;)
~*~*~*~*
As soon as she’d made sure that none of her agents were in danger, Jenny left MTAC. Her whole body was begging for sleep, but she knew that, after the undercover mission had been a success, she had no excuse not to attend the ball. Actually, saving the ball might have turned out to be killing two birds with one stone - if her next mission would be successful, too ...
As expected, she found Ducky at his desk, working on some paperwork, and she waited to get his attention before explaining her idea. When she ended, they both fell into silence.
“Are you asking me out on a date, director?“ Ducky asked after a while, smirking.
“Actually, this is me making up for missing Giselle,” Jenny replied, amused that Ducky seriously considered she would ask him out on a date. Ducky knew he wasn’t her type. Or didn’t he?
“You’re not disappointed, are you?” she asked, when his smile vanished, alerting her that she may have been mistaken.
Ducky laughed. “My dear Jennifer ... Why would I be disappointed? It would be my pleasure to escort you to the ball. That is, if you’re sure, you want me?”
“I am.” Jenny smiled.
