Tony walked morosely out to the edge of the swamp. A large alligator came slinking out and stopped next to him. Tony reached out and scratched the gator behind her eyes. The gator growled contentedly.

Tony looked down at the gator with a sad smile and sniffled. Jethro walked up behind Tony -keeping a close eye on the seemingly relaxed gator - and carefully placed his arms around his mate.

Tony stiffened at the touch, the gator hissed, and Jethro slowly pulled back. "Tony, love," he implored, "believe me. I never said you were a terrible cook."

Tony glared back over his shoulder at the other man. The gator growled again. Jethro scooted back a few more inches.

"Honest, Tony. I was merely pointing out that the garbage disposal has developed an ulcer..."

Tony stalked over to the edge of the newly formed gator hole. Sticking his bare feet into the fresh, clean water, he squished his toes in the mud. Allie waddled up and plunked herself down, wrapping her front arms around the sad man. The gator hissed when Gibbs' tried to get near.

Backing off, Gibbs went to wait his mate's return to the manor.Looking back, he could swear the gator grinned triumphantly at him, before she laid her heavy head in Tony's lap.
