That was funny, loved it. Wish Gibbs had hit his partner too though, maybe a right cross to the jaw, idiot left Tony unprotected.

Very nice! I love the image this scene brings to mind.

Best reason I've heard of for the origin of Gibbs' headslaps, other than the real reason Mark Harmon started it onset. Thanks for this!

Tony's had a lot of people hitting him. lol

Loved it. Short and sweet.

Somehow I had failed to review this previously, but I do like Tony-meets-Gibbs stories. Nice.

I have read this story many times and have always enjoyed it. I would love to see future stories where some of the others find out about Tony's piano playing. Perhaps an undercover assignment where Kate things he will never pull it off, but of course Gibbs knows. Just a thought. Thanks for a wonderful short story.

Wonderful! I think you must have Tony living in your brain.

Your characterization is amazing. It's as if I can hear them talking in my head. I can actually imagine that your scenes are right off the cutting room floor, and that's the only reason we haven't seen them in the shows.

Great writing, nice flow, very true to each person you write, and the transitions are excellent.

Thanks! I look forward to reading more of your NCIS works.

Great story! I love how you wrote the way these two met and I especially like that last line. Well done!

*smile* Fun. I wish there were more...

LOL this was AWESOME!

LOL that is SO Dinozzo! great job on these by the way.

"My piano teacher hit me every time I made a mistake." - Ha, now we know why Tony doesn't collapse every time Gibbs slaps his head. Experience is everything, yeah? :P

Great job! Loved the concept.

hahaha i love the ending :D

very nice job(:

this is interesting...i always enjoy stories about how gibbs met dinozzo...although if tony were shot in the shoulder wouldn't he be in too much pain to relate everything to gibbs and the blood loss would be pretty bad from a shoulder wound.

ah well...can't wait to see what comes next!

I love this story! Great job! That was very believable!
