Hmm... this may be a crazy idea, but is Gibbs gonna take him to a firing range? Cuz he mentioned firing guns, and... yeah, it's a stretch, I know. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next chapter to find out! Great work!

It's good to see Tony getting a proper childhood experience, even if it is twenty years too late. I wonder what Gibbs has up his sleeve now and whether it will work to get Tony back to normal.

I don't know what map you've been looking at, but it's really awkward to try to drive between Palm Springs and Vegas. They're not on the same highways. PS is about 40 miles east of the junction of Interstate 10 and Interstate 15. "Between Barstow and Las Vegas" would be believable; "Between PS and Needles" or "Between PS and Phoenix" would be believable. But definitely not "Between PS and LV."

I'm not only a native and nearly lifelong Californian, I'm also a trucker.

I just can't stop smiling about your young Tony, he's so sweet :) :)

Just have some trouble picturing as a grown-up going back in time, keep getting an image of a young Tony, instead of the all grown up one ;)

So now they're going sailing, eh, that'll no doubt gonna be interesting ;0

Hope you update soon.

Love the story so far. You always have such cool ideas. Can't wait for more.

Hoo boy, I hope Daddy DiNozzo doesn't show up. That would definitely make everything exponentially worse. Tony has so many issues-hopefully we can get to the root of some of them! Heh, even as a 10-year-old, Tony's still a big hit with the ladies XD

Wow, this is so good for getting an insight into young Tony.

I wondered if you'd bring his Mothers death up. Kind of a parallel to Hiatus there, with Gibbs thinking of Tony's pain being raw and fresh - even though for this Gibbs it hasn't happened yet.

...Kind of have to wonder if he will eventually comment on his...larger self, lol.

I like it!

Yea! A wonderful idea. I'm so excited for the next update.

Well... this is gonna be interesting, that's for sure. It's rather amusing for me to picture Tony acting like a ten-year-old... although sometimes it shouldn't, since he acts rather immature on the show at times... anyway, great work! Keep it up!

wow. You definitely have the knack for hooking your readers. Can't wait to see how Gibbs and DiNozzo fix this.

Awesome chapter! Poor Tony, his father sucks.

It looks like Gibbs might have his work cut out. Tony's dad wasn't around much when he really was ten, it's unlikely he'd turn up now. I hope Gibbs finds a way to tell Tony that his dad's not coming that isn't too upsetting. Going on a sailing trip will hopefully help and it'll allow Gibbs to get to know more about Tony too.

Sweet mac and cheese! Poor tony.

Keep up the wonderful work
