A/N: Now, I'm not sure if anyone has done this already, but who didn't just crack up at the whole Bambi line? I mean, there were a lot of good lines in Jet Lag, but my favorite by far had to be the Bambi line and the repetition of Rule 12. I typed (again) a episode thing for Emily (Tiva4evaxxx) and let me tell you, it's pretty random and a lot of "WHOA" becasue of what was being said. Nora was a great character. Haha. Ask Emily about the hot guy thing. I kept repeating it over and over.
Anywho, since I don't want this authors note to be longer than the drabble, I'll stop myself.
Spoilers: The slightest spoilers for Jet Lag.
"Tony prefers Bambi, where the mother dies."
Ziva sat at her desk, tapping her pencil. She was stuck on figuring out a word, one that was more articulate than 'smart'. Tony watched her; curious as to why she looked impatient. He stood up, walking over to Gibbs' desk with his finished report. Ziva watched him with shock.
"You are finished already?" She asked, and he nodded. She huffed, crossing her arms and scowling at her paper. She refused to look in the thesaurus.
"Is something bothering you, young one?" Tony asked, leaning against the walls of the bullpen next to Ziva's desk. She glared at him, putting her pencil down.
"No, nothing is bothering me." She said, and he nodded.
"Sure." He said, picking up her report. She tried to snatch it away, but he held her shoulder so she could move.
"Tony!" She said, and he chuckled.
"Are you stuck on a word?" He said, somewhat smugly and somewhat sincerely. Ziva reached for the paper.
"No."
"And why are you hand writing this?" Tony said, confused. He hadn't handwritten a report since the fifth grade.
"Tony, may I have my paper back?" Ziva asked, done struggling against Tony's hand. She almost fell over when he handed her the paperback willingly.
"Yes, Bambi." Tony said. Ziva stopped looking at her paper to glare at Tony.
"Is that supposed to be a movie reference?" She asked, and Tony grinned.
"Yes, Bambi."
"Stop calling me Bambi."
"Bir-duh."
"What?" Ziva asked.
"Bambi is a new born deer in the forest. He's trying to say bird, and the best he can do is say bir-duh."
"So, you are comparing me to Bambi?" Ziva asked, her brow furrowed. Tony shrugged.
"Possibly. It's one of my favorite Disney movies."
Ziva smirked.
"Why would that be?" Tony smirked back at Ziva.
"Well, there are many great reasons. Walt Disney was a brilliant man."
"Brilliant man? I read somewhere that he was heavily anti-Semitic. He also had a vendetta against…" Ziva trailed off, and she suddenly smiled. Tony got where she was going, and smiled as well.
"Yeah, he had a thing against mothers."
"What happened to Bambi's mother?" She asked, and Tony slightly grinned.
"She gets shot by a hunter."
Ziva threw her pencil at Tony. He ducked just in time.
A/N: I hope I kept them in character. It took all of my will power to keep Gibbs out of the bullpen. Somehow, if there is a bullpen scene, Gibbs pops into it.
Oh, and if you didn't know, the whole thing about against mothers, just think of most Disney movies. Most don't have a mother, or the mother is dead or gone. The anti-semitic thing I'm not one hundred percent sure on, because people tell me mixed things, but yeah.
Don't forget to leave me a review.
