Tony and the Ponisaurus

Title: Tony and the Ponisaurus
Pairing/Warning/Rating: NCIS fandom, no pairings, rated G
Word Count: 300
Summary:  Tony shows Gibbs an unexpected side of himself.
Author's Note:  Written for [personal profile] awanderingbard's prompt for my most recent meme. 


When Gibbs ordered DiNozzo to keep Annie occupied while he questioned her father he expected, and received,  a smartalecky reply, which a quick head slap and glare took care of easily enough.  He’d also assumed, after seeing the look of utter terror DiNozzo had on his face while leading the little girl out of the room, that he’d better keep his questions short and simple, since DiNozzo would need some rescuing himself before long. 

Despite his attempts it was over forty minutes later before Gibbs made his way to the little girl’s room and was surprised to hear giggling coming from inside.  He paused in the doorway, watching as DiNozzo, sitting cross-legged on the floor, valiantly tried to braid the mane of a large purple horse. 

“Okay, what about now?”  DiNozzo showed his handiwork to Annie who began laughing even louder.  “It’s not that bad, is it?  Okay, only half the hair’s in there and it’s kind of crooked.  Well, really crooked...”

“No, like this.”  Annie held out a doll which had two perfect braids in its hair.

“Are you sure Ponisaurus doesn’t want a bow?  I can do bows.  Sort of.” 

Gibbs hid his smile before rapping on the door frame.  “Problem, DiNozzo?” 

“Boss!”  DiNozzo jumped to his feet, the stuffed animal spilling from his lap on the floor.  “No, not at all.  I was just...”  Bending quickly, DiNozzo scooped up the pony and offered it to Annie.  “Sorry, but this’ll have to do, I have to leave now.” 

“You needs to practice s’more.”  She eyed Ponisaurus warily before taking it from DiNozzo.  “Thanks for playing wif’ me.”

“You’re welcome, kiddo.”  DiNozzo ruffled her hair before he left the room.  “Not a moment too soon, Boss,” he whispered to Gibbs as he passed him, “Not a moment too soon.”

I still have no idea who these people are, but it said "pony" so I'm guaranteed to read.

Completely adorable! A guy learning how to braid hair, it's just too cute for words.

Squee! Tony + Little Girl = Love. Except that sounds creepy. I just have such a 'my favourite men interacting with children' kink. Plus, I can totally picture Tony on the floor, cross-legged with one of those little plastic brushes that came/comes with the My Little Ponies, doing his best. Thanks bunches!

Purple!!!

Um sorry. Favourite colour.

This is hilarious, even though I only vaguely know the characters.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Purple is the *only* color for a toy pony. :) Glad you like!

LOL, that's probably more true.

Oh sweet!

I kinda disliked how they portrayed Tony to be bad with kids. It seemed so stereotypical. As though they tried to prove that Tony was nothing more than a jock.

This version suits Tony much better. Especially him trying to justify his results to the little girl. She got him wrapped around her litte finger, she did *nods*

Great ficlet!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! In my mind it's not that Tony's bad with kids, it's just that he has no experience with them so feels out of his element, but if necessary, he's more than willing to be there for them.

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww cute! how did I miss this one... If I still had long hair he could come pradtise on me any time he liked :D

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I've become a big ol' sucker for stuffedanimal!fics and the softer side of some of our favorite folks

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
'ponisaurus' made me rather nervous of ever reinstating any stuffed animal back onto the dressing table near my bed though...

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
why? because it might get jealous because it can't get braided by Tony?

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
No, because it might 'see' us.

"Do you think the Ponisuarus?"

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
*snerk* all stuffed animals daydream all day and night long anywway. nothing to worry about!

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have the advert for fabric softener over ther that is like a world populated by fabric people??

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. I don't think so, anyway

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I am in YouTube - I am sure there is one with a bakery...

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
well it would be only fair, all those poor fabric people deserve their donuts...

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2008-08-01 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Darn it - it wasn't a bakery it was a fabric softener shop (OF course...) you can stilll share the love though the fabric people are *fun*

Poor fabric people... where's their bakery? They need pastries too!
