The plasma screen is up and running and showing Abby's lab back at NCIS. Abby is busy typing on a computer and talking with a slightly geeky looking guy while someone who looks an awful lot like the media teacher spins on a stool nearby. It's only a moment before Abby checks the monitor and smiles up at the screen.

	"Morning, guys. I got shanghaied by NCIS, so today's class is going to by remote. Don't worry. I can see and hear everything that's going on in class."
	"Which means no hanky panky." Tony stopped his chair spinning and came over to peer into the monitor. "Is Cally there?"
	"Actually, we're doing a little bit of hanky panky today." Abby gave Tony a look and shoved him back towards the chair. "We're going to start working on your dating profiles." Abby launched into a small lecture about the history of online dating.
	Tony looked up from where he was standing with McGee. "You're teaching them how to do internet dating? Is your whole class made up of G-E-E-K-S?" There was a pause as both Abby and McGee stared at Tony and then McGee shook his head. "Tony, they're in high school. I'm sure they can spell. Besides, a lot of people use the internet for dating these days."
	"Since I'm very busy today and they volunteered, McGee and Tony are going to help you guys out with your profiles." Abby grinned over at her coworkers. "Make sure to come up to the monitor for any questions."
	McGee looked a little nervous when he smiled out at the students. "Uh...sure. I'm Special Agent Timothy McGee and I've got some experience with computer dating so I'd be happy to help."
	"Why does that not surprise me, McGeek?" Tony leaned forward towards the monitor. "I'm the even more special Special Agent Tony DiNozzo and obviously I've never needed to use computer dating, but I can give you guys some real dating advice."

He's actually working, but he really wants to help!

Buffy poked the screen. "Um, hello? Mr McGee, sir?"

"Can I help you?" McGee tried not to look too eager but he leaned forward anyway. "You can just call me McGee."

"I don't really understand the point of online dating... I mean, what do you get out of it?" Buffy frowned confusedly. "You can't, like, watch movies over the internet, can you?"

"Uh...actually you can watch movies on the internet." McGee turned to give Abby a look of disbelief before turning back to Buffy. "People use the dating services to meet and talk over the internet. But a lot of them eventually meet in person."

"How do you know they're not freaky serial killing axe-murderers then?" Buffy demanded to know. "Or really gross?"

She might not have picked up on much else, but she was very clear on the horror stories.

"The odds of them being serial killers are pretty low." McGee smiled. "But you could always do a background check on them before meeting. Run their names through google and see what footprints they've left behind on the net."

Buffy wrote down 'google them', then looked up. "What about demons? I bet there's tech-savvy demons out there. How do I tell them from the other people? I wouldn't want to accidentally end up dating a blood sucking fiend or something," she said earnestly.

"Demons?" McGee just thought he was talking to a vapid cheerleader, not an insane vapid cheerleader. "I think you're safe on that front. I've never seen any instances of demon online dating problems."

"Maybe you have but you didn't realize it?" Buffy wasn't going to let it go that quickly.

"Blood-sucking fiends are probably something that would get reported to the authorites." McGee said, trying not to roll his eyes.

"You'd be surprised," Buffy muttered. She brightened. "Okay! My profile! What sort of thing do you think I should mention? Oh! That I'm cheerleading captain?"

"I knew it." McGee muttered and nodded. "Yup, that's a good thing to put on there. Maybe a picture of you in your uniform?"

He lowered his voice a little at that, just in case Tony was listening.

"I can totally do that!" Buffy beamed. "Thank you for your advice, Mr McGee!"

"Not a problem!" McGee smiled. "Good luck!"
