I planned on not even creating another story about the new family. I guess its a good idea because I actually have an awesome idea for more stories. Now, I'm going to make this story instead of doing this story from a narrator's view.
Chapter 1
It has been a few months since the Daniel and Cheryl's murder. Johnny and Kyle have gotten used to living with two caring and somewhat strict parents. Today is the day before spring break ends and the DiNozzo's are having the Vance family over. Neither Johnny nor Kyle is any to happy about the idea of missing out on their last chance at freedom until four months from now.
Kyle drops the fork onto the table. He doesn't wanna have lunch with a bunch of prissy jerks on the last day of February vacation. He's thirteen and he has better things to do than hang out with a bunch of conceited jerks. He and Thalia had plans to go to the arcade with Mattie and Dennis. Dropping another fork onto the fancy table, Ziva hears it clink against the plate.
"Stop that Kyle. I know what you're doing" he hears Ziva call him from the kitchen. Kyle sticks his tongue out at her.
"What would that be?" a butter knife slams against the nicer of the plates and a small crack starts to form. He backs up when he sees Ziva advancing towards him; afraid she might take him over her knee. Now that would be really unfair, having to sit in the hard chairs right after he got his ass spanked.
"Enough Kyle" Ziva hissed, clearly annoyed. "I know you may not want to have lunch with the Vance's but, you have no choice. Now drop the attitude" she picks up the plate and marches back into the house.
"Drop the attitude" Kyle mimicked under his breath. Following her into the house, Johnny looks up with interest.
"I mean it, Kyle" Ziva said her voice is crisp and angry. Why can't he just behave? Is it really that hard for him to be good?
"I mean it…I mean it…Kyle, I mean it…KYLE" Kyle squawked over and over; purposely trying to annoy Ziva.
Ziva sets her teeth on edge. "Do you want me to smack your bottom, because if you don't drop this attitude and I mean now. I will" It sounds more like a promise than a threat. Kyle looks down at his shoes and shakes his head.
"It's the last day of spring vacation" Kyle whined. His blonde hair flopping into his big blue eyes, reminding Ziva he needs a hair cut.
"I know that" Ziva said trying very hard to keep the smirk off of her face. Johnny folds his arms over his chest.
"So why can't we go out?" Johnny asked he looks up hoping that maybe they'll get out of staying home with stuck-up people.
"We're going to have company. This could give you both the chance to make new friends with Director Vance's kids" Ziva explained for the seventh time today.
"I don't wanna" Johnny grumped.
"It'll only be for three hours" Ziva said giving both of the boys a look "then you both can go out and play till nine" Johnny groans arrogantly.
"This sucks" Kyle smirks at Ziva. She smacks his bottom; hard. Why does she have to swat so hard? Why did Tony hafta plan today for the Vance's to come over?
The doorbell suddenly rings. Startling all three of them, Ziva looks at the clock on the wall and lets out a breath. Ziva quickly walks toward the door, Kyle smiles devilishly at his little brother. They are having tomato soup for an appetizer; sneaking into the fridge Kyle takes out the hot sauce and pours the bottle into the soup. Johnny smiles and Kyle lets him stir the hot sauce into the soup. Kyle has already left the scene and is on the couch playing a video game on his PSP.
Johnny's still at work when Tony and Ziva walk back into the kitchen, "Good job, kiddo" Tony praised. He doesn't see the flash of excitement dance through Johnny army green eyes. Instead he looks worriedly at Ziva. This is odd; maybe Johnny is turning over a new leaf and deciding to help out more around the house.
"Always here to help" he smiles. Johnny snickers and walks out of the kitchen and into the living room. There's a girl his age; Kayla and a boy Kyle's age; Jared. This oughta be fun. Both kids are wearing their very best church clothes and have perfectly straight teeth, worse Jared has glasses. Johnny looks at Ziva who is trying to make small talk with Jackie Vance.
"Johnny, Kyle these are our kids Jared and Kayla" Leon said showing a girl with black hair, dark skin, dark brown eyes, and a fluffy pink dress.
"Hi" Kayla said politely. Tony smiles at the eleven year old young lady. She seems like a good enough kid.
"Hey" Johnny mumbled boredly.
"Kyle" Tony urged nudging Kyle's shoulder for him to say something, Jared smiles weakly at Kyle who nods at him coolly.
"Sup" Kyle sounds so cool. He flicks his wavy blonde hair out of his puppy dog brown eyes.
"Uhh, not much" Jared said worriedly. He sounds so lame. Kyle glances at Ziva who gives him a look that says he better be nice. Kyle rolls his eyes at her, basically saying she can't tell him what to do. Ziva lightly taps his leg; warning him to watch his attitude for the second time today.
"You like football" Kyle asked the other thirteen year old shrugs his shoulder looking especially uncomfortable.
"Sorta. I like the Massachusetts Patroits best" Jared said smiling and turning bright red. Kyle nods respectfully at that answer. He sorta likes the Patriots too.
"So you two are going to Nobles and Greenough School next year. That should be very exciting. The first year is always interesting. Jared and Kayla both go there. Both of them enjoy it very much. Don't you?" Jackie asked her two children. Jared nods his head and Kayla shrugs.
"It's alright" Jared admitted. He looks down at Kyle's red and blue Nike shoe's enviously. Sometimes Kevin feels like the teenage boy version of a Barbie Doll.
"The curriculum is great. Oh and the teachers, Kayla has Sister Kathy. I don't like Jared's teacher very much Sister Martha. Doesn't even teach the class right Leon? I mean they really should retire her. Right Leon?" Jackie asked her husband. Tony looks over at Vance and nudges him.
"Uh-huh, yeah" Leon said trying to sound interested. All they do is brag about their kids, sometimes Leon Vance wishes his children were more like the rebellious DiNozzo kids.
Johnny and Kyle look at one another. Still trying to register what Jackie Vance had just told them. "Wait, back-up. We don't go to Nobles and Greenbooger School" Kyle informed Jackie who glances at him.
"It's Nobles and Greenough School" Jackie corrected through clenched teeth. Jared stifles a smile. This Kyle kid, he has guts. He doesn't usually say stuff like that.
"No way in hell. We're not going there" Kyle looks at Tony and Ziva who are inspecting the carpet "are we?" he asked softly. Tony takes a very deep breath before actually answering. Too be honest he doesn't really know how to answer him.
The truth hurts. "Your school isn't in our district. We can't send you two to a public school that has a tuition and Nobles is closer. Guys, please it's a good school" Tony explained pleadingly.
"No" Johnny whined. He doesn't give a crap if there is an audience room full of people here. He'll whine if he wants to.
"You both got accepted on scholarship. The tuition is great because we know someone who works on the PTA there" Tony said nodding towards Jackie who beams.
"Why can't we just move?" Johnny asked stamping his feet. Ziva and Jackie share a knowing look.
"We can't just pick up and leave our home for some school" Tony said firmly. Kyle glares at his dad. This sucks!
"It isn't just some school, Tony" Kyle thundered at his father. "We...have friends who go o our school"
"We'll talk about this later" Ziva said nodding towards their guests who are all too stunned to speak.
"This is bullshit" Kyle shouted, Kayla tries to hide her smile. These boys have guts, being friends with them could be cool.
"Yeah, this is really stupid" Johnny agreed, not realizing his dad is at the exploding point.
"Enough, we'll talk about this later" Tony roared swatting each of his boys backsides. They both sit back down on the couch wincing slightly. Leon and Jackie look out the window pretending to appear interested in the road.
"Why don't you and Kayla go play in the backyard?" Ziva offered looking pleadingly at Jackie who smiles.
"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea" Jackie agreed causing Ziva to smile warmly back at her new friend.
"Thought I couldn't play, cos we have COMPANY" Johnny said 'company' like someone said puke or poop.
"Johnny DiNozzo" Ziva said in an annoyed tone. She would've taken him over her knee by now. That is, if they didn't have guests.
"What now?" Ziva glares at him. This is defidently not a good impression on our Boss and his wife. Leon Vance is looking amused. He looks like this is the kind of way he wishes his own kids would act, like kids. Tony sucks in his cheeks, Johnny better watch his self or he may find out what a spanking from Ziva is really like. He assumes it isn't very pretty.
"I'm not afraid of spanking you with guests in the house" Tony whispered in a hushed tone. Johnny puts on an innocent face, like he doesn't know what he's saying.
"No, don't" he whimpered. Tony rolls his eyes. He knows that this is Johnny's little innocent act. And Johnny will drag out this act for a long time.
"Go out and play, it's a nice day" Tony can see the smirk growing on Johnny's face. Kyle smirks and claps his hands.
The eleven year old grins wildly. "Let's go Kayla" Johnny urged; worried Tony might actually spank him.
"Johnny, don't get into any trouble" Ziva warned. "I mean it, this time." She knows Johnny would and could probably get poor Kayla into trouble.
"I won't" Johnny mumbled, the usual and standard response.
"Don't get your dress dirty Kay" Jackie warned, her daughter who looks back and nods grudgingly. Johnny looks at Tony for some help, he shakes his head
"Hey Jared, let's shoot some baskets" Kyle offered. Tony grins with delight, his sons are basketball stars.
"Can I Dad?" Jared asked hopefully.
"Yeah, play, have fun" Jackie looks at her husband in shock. Kayla has already left the room; worried her mom might want her to go back.
"Leon, he'll get dirty" she warned. Kyle looks down at his shoes smiling, until Tony gives him a warning look.
"We can wash clothes Jackie"
"Try not to get to dirty Jared. Ziva how's working for my husband. He's not being a hard ass is he?" Jackie asked smirking at her husband. Jared looks back with a grin. He's never heard his mom swear before. Not even when she stubs her toe on something or gets really mad.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Johnny asked Kayla who shrugs her shoulders.
"I don't know" Johnny sits down in the grass. He looks up back at Kayla who sits down beside him. Johnny DiNozzo seems friendly enough and he looks so much like his dad.
"Do you gotta wear uniforms at the Nobles School?" Johnny asked breaking the silence between the two children.
"Yeah" Johnny groaned and moaned loudly. This is gonna be one tough talk with Tony and Ziva tonight.
"Are they as dumb as your brothers?" Kayla starts cracking up. She and Jared don't usually fight all that much.
"No, my mom says we always have to look our best"
"Why?" Johnny looks disgusted with this fact. Kayla looks up and into the sky shrugging her shoulders helplessly.
"Just do"
"That's stupid"
"Yeah" Kayla agreed wistfully.
"Wanna have some fun?" Johnny asked his eyes are twinkling with excitement. Now he has a plan to get this goody-goody girl into some trouble. She should be fun to have around if she causes some trouble.
"Depends" Kayla looks warily at Johnny. So far, Johnny has proven that he's a smart allek and mouths off a lot.
"Let's roll down the hills in the woods"
"I don't know. You heard my Mom"
Johnny sighs. "Ooo one dress. Who cares? It's just a dress. I'll bet you have millions of them. What's one dress compared to having fun?"
Kayla looks at Johnny with her eyes happily. "I'll race you" pushing past him and running faster than she's ever run before. Johnny looks around hoping nobody saw that, before chasing after her.
