Tim frowned, not completely oblivious to the argument as Sam and Tony might think. He couldn't understand the words, but he could tell they were fighting about something and he had a pretty good idea on what. He sighed to himself before putting a smile on his face. He didn't want to let the others know he knew what was going on. Tim shrugged slightly. "I don't know. What ride do you want to go on?" He asked, looking at Tony and ignoring Sam completely for the moment.

Tony grinned, happy that Tim had asks him, not Sam. Of coarse, Sam answered anyway. "What about--" Tony cut him off. "Space mountian. That sounds like fun." He said, grinning even wider when Sam glared at him. He knew it was pretty much over. He'd won, now Sam was backing off. He knew it might not be as easy to win as Sam and Tim got to know each other, but for now, Tony had the upper hand and Sam knew that.

Tim smiled lightly and nodded at Tony's answer. "Sounds good. Lead the way." He honestly didn't mind if Sam and Tony fought over him. To be honest, he figured he could enjoy the attention. Just as long it didn't end up in an actual fist fight. He knew he would have tostep in and stop them then. But for now, Tim was going to keep a close eye on them. To keep things interesting, he'd give them both attention, already knowing though Tony was going to get most of it.

Tony got ready to lead Tim to the ride, but catching the eye of Sam told him if he turned his back for even a second he might lose the upper hand in this competition for Tim's attention. He looked innocent and confused. "Sam, do you think maybe you could lead us? I don't know this place very well. You've lived here in California for a while, maybe you could help?" He gave the cutesy little face and Sam gave him a dangerous look. "Of coarse I can lead the way since you can't read the map." He snapped, walking ahead. Tony snickered. As they were walking, Tony brushed his hand across Tim's backside, acting as if it was an accident. This game was tough and he didn't plan on losing to a jerk like Sam.

Tim raised an eyebrow when Tony didn't want to lead. He was used to the other man taking charge. Ut he figured out what he was doing when he had Sam lead. He had to say, that was a good plan. Even though there really was no need to compete over him, Tim knew he was going to like the attention. After all, he wasn't used to people fighting for him. Tim smiled lightly at Tony, knowing he would have to be careful with how he acted or he was going to cause a fight between the two men.

They got to the ride and Tony got in line, dragging Tim with him. "Shouldn't you scope the perimeter?" Tony asked and Sam groaned, knowing that even if he didn't want him to be, Tony was right. "Yeah. You two stay here. I trust you have your gun?" Tony nodded. "Yep." Sam walked off and Tony smirked, sticking his finite out when Sam turned his back. "So, now that he's gone, do you like me or him better?" He asked, not knowing what answer he'd get.

Tim watched Sam walk off, hoping Tony wasn't going to be too childish on keeping his attention. After all, he wouldn't have to try to hard to succeed in that. Tim glanced over at the other and raised an eyebrow lightly. "Well, seeing as how I don't know much about him, I'm going to have to say I like you more."

((I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.))

((yeah, I forgot to show you earlier. I thought it would be easier to see in your mind if you knew who I was talking about.))

Tony knew that he shouldn't be excited that McGee liked him more. He'd said it was only because he didn't know Sam as well, but still, it made him have the urge to try even harder with this. He wanted to win so bad he could taste it. It was time for them to get on and Tony was delighted that Sam was still checking for suspicious people. "Come one Tim. It's our turn." he sang happily. He sat in his seat and strapped himself in, waiting for Tim to get in with him.

((I appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to see NCIS: Los Angelos yet.))

Tim could see how what he said made Tony so happy and he couldn't help but smile. He liked making the other man feel like that and he wanted to continue making him feel like that for as long as he can. When it was their turn, Tim looked around, spotting Sam still looking around. That must be what Tony was so happy about. He kept a small smile on his face as he got in his seat, strapping himself in. He was actually excited. He never really been to these type of things before.

Tony took Tim's hand in his own as the rode started up. "This should be fun." He said with a grin. "You cam always hold my hand of you get scared." He said, winking. He was extremely excited. "This is great, so, so great." He was glad that Sam was talking to some man and didn't have a chance to come and sit with them. The rode went down the first hill and Tony screamed, laughing the whole time.

Tim didn't think he was going to get scared because of some ride, but he didn't mind holding Tony's hand. It was kind of nice. He smiled lightly at the other's excitement and had a feeling that it was partially because Sam couldn't come on the ride with them. When they went down the first hill, Tim couldn't help squeezing Tony's hand tightly. It wasn't that he was scared... He was just... Startled.

((it's going to be awhile til I can answer the other one, but I will get to it today.))

Tony laughed when Tim grabbed his hand tighter. "It's alright babe..it'll be alright--!" He screamed as they went down another hill, not expecting it since he'd been talking to Tim and not Raleigh time to watch the track. He was trying to look all manly and beat Sam, but that had just made him seem silly. He laughed. "This is fun!" He yelled. Eventully it came to a stop and Tony winked at Tim. "We have to do that again."

Tim raised an eyebrow lightly at what Tony called him, but decided agaisnt commenting... Mostly because he couldn't right now. He smiled at the sound of the other man's scream, unable to resist laughing. Despite being a little afraid every time they went down a hill, Tim would admit that it was a lot of fun. He nodded as the ride stopped, smiling at Tony. "We should." He agreed.

Tony laughed, his hair sticking up all over the place. He saw Sam come running over. "Did you have fun?" He was asking Tim, but Tony answered just to be an annoyance. "It was great." He said, making Sam narrow his eyes. "So, Tim, What do you want to do?" Tony asked. "Just point were you want to go."

Tim smiled slightly. He couldn't help it. Tony's hair was ridiculus. He glanced over at Sam, keeping a small smile on his face. "It was a lot of fun." He said, answering the question the other man asked. He looked around, trying to find what he wanted to go next. "I'm not sure. Let's go this way." He said, walking in a random direction.

Both men walked with Tim, following him like little puppies would a steak. Both seemed his attention, trying to act as cute as possible all in order to earn his favor. "Hey, Tim." He Tony grinning. "Who are you going to ride with this time?" He asked, both men staring, begging with their eyes. Tony knew that they were better friends, but what if Tim liked Sam? He didn't want him to like Sam. He wanted Tim to be his and if not, he'd rather lose him to a woman than a man.

Tim thought it was cute how Tony was acting, but was a little uncomfortable with the occasional looks he as recieving from random people. He tried not to let it bother him as he looked over at his friend. He glanced over at Sam for a second, mentally groaning at the looks he was recieving from both men. "Well... I just rode with Tony... So I think it would be fair to ride with Sam this time."

Sam stuck his tongue out at Tony. "Ha! He obviously thinks I'm cuter than you!" Sam spat, laughing at Tony's downcast expression. "He does not!" Tony exclaimed, seeming as if he may be trying to convince himself more than Sam. "Hmp." Sam said and took a hold of Tim's hand. "Don't you think I'm cuter than him?" He asked, snarling at Tony who glared fiercely. "I'm defiantly more of a man." Sam taunted. "Yeah?! Well maybe Tim likes being the more manly one!" Tony shot back. "Yeah? Well I think he finds you repulsive! I saw all of those tapes from your mission. He had to close his eyes when he did you, all because you're so damn ugly." Sam retaliated, catching the hurt look in Tony's eyes and smileing. "I'll bet he finds a real man much more attractive than a pussy like you!" Tony bit down on his lip. He couldn't speak on Tim's behalf. Maybe the man did find him unattractive. He didn't know. "You know, those are some low blows over a stupid competition!" Tony hissed, managing not to let tears form in his eyes. He was a Di'Nozzo. He didn't cry and that was fact...ok, so sure, he had the emotional maturity of a highschool cheerleader, but hey, he wasn't going to let that show right now.

Tim frowned. How did picking who he rode with decide who he thought was cuter? That didn't make any sense. He narrowed his eyes at Sam when he heard what he was saying about Tony. How dare he! He didn't know anything about them, so he shouldn't judge based on a tape. Plus, while they were having sex, he had his eyes open the whole time, wanting to watch Tony's face. Tim yanked his hand away from Sam and couldn't stop from growling quietly at the man. As much fun as he was having watching these two fight over him, he knew this was going way to far and he wasn't going to stand by and let this man insult Tony. Tim clenched his fist tightly before punching Sam in the face with enough strength to knock him to the ground. "Don't you dare say another word about Tony." He growled, extremely annoyed. "He's one of my best friends and I'm not going to stand by and let you insult him like that. You don't know anything about him! If you can't act like the adult you are, I'm going to call your supervisor and getting someone to replace you." He grabbed Tony's hand and started walking away, aware of the people who were starting to stare. He figured if Sam wanted to keep his job, he'd follow.

Tony was a bit shocked as Sam was knocked on his ass by a punch Tim threw at him. Tony was delighted to be stood up for like that and now he found himself likeing Tim even more if that had even been possible in the first place. When his hand was held by a slightly larger one, Tony blushed, tagging along behind Tim, thrilled to now be the one holding his hand. Sam looked flustered, running behind them. "Wait! Tim!" He panted. "I'm sorry..I didn't mean any of it! I didn't even watch the tape, so I wouldn't have any idea." He was trying to rectify his rather stupid mistake, and Tony laughed. "He likes me more jerk." Tony said with a smirk.

Tim felt rather good about himself for standing up for Tony like that. He never thought would ever really have too before. Tony was on of the toughest guys he knew and he was mildly surprised that the man didn't stand up for himself. Tim paused when he heard Sam and he turned to look at the man. "If you never watched the tape, you shouldn't say anything about it. It's pathetic to make comments towards someone just because you think it makes you seem tough." When he heard what Tony said, Tim yanked his hand away. "Actually, both of you need to grow up. I'm not some prize that you have to fight over. You both need to start acting like the adults that you are." With that, he turned and stalked away from the two men, thoroughly annoyed.

Tony had still just being silly and hadn't expected Tim to get like that about it. He narrowed his eyes and marched right up behind Tim, roughly yanking him back to himself by the waist. He cupped Tim's face in one hand and glared at him. "Now listen. I was being a little childish, yes, but I was playing around. You on the other hand are being stupid. Don't you dare walk off from the group again. Do you understand special agent McGee?" Tony barked, not caring to show any form of affection in this situation. In truth, he was just afraid for Tim's safety and didn't want him running off like that. "Do you realize that there is a man attempting to murder you? You grow up Tim, and stop acting like you're superman. I don't think I could handle it if you got shot all because I played around to much." Sam was staring, stunned.

Tim was expecting Tony to come after him, but he wasn't expecting what was said. Did Tony really have to treat him like a child? He was a full grown man, for crying out loud! He narrowed his eyes and shoved at Tony's chest, taking a few steps back. "I am well aware that there is someone wanting to kill me. But in case you forgot, I am an agent and am fully capable of taking care of myself. And if you're so worried about me, you can follow me. It's not as if I was going to go far. I just wanted some space." He said, crossing his arms.

Tony shook his head. "I don't care if you can take care of yourself. I didn't say you couldn't, but you need to be cautious. And don't act like you weren't flattered that we were fighting over you, because you were. I could see it all over your face." he pulled Fom back to his chest again and kissed him. "I don't cRe if you didn't like that. I don't want to die without you knowing exactly how I feel about you." Sam was gaping like an idiot, his jaw hanging open.

Did Tony really think he wouldn't be able to be cautious. Tim knew how to keep an eye on anyone who looked suspicious. A small blush spread across his face though when Tony said he knew what he was feeling about having people fight over him. He had been so sure that he was hiding it well. The blush darkened some when Tony kissed him. That was unexpected... "... I already knew how you felt about me... You didn't have to do that." He said. Not that he was complaining, of course.
